What owners say
Taillight gasket failed and leaks water resulting in water leaking into trunk anytime it rains or go through car wash. This caused corrosion to the amplifier shorting it out, there is now no sound or on star available. It also caused the blind spot detection monitor to have issues and no longer work. Upon inspection when the vehicle is running the wires sometimes start smoking white. Dealer said there was no issue, obviously the radio doesn’t work, the screen doesn’t even light up, no backup camera, no sound warning if the forward collision system is engaged, no seatbelt ding, no blinker sounds, no rear detection system or cross traffic warning system.
Water leak in trunk due to fail taillight seal that can cause electric issue and mold mildew which is a safety health issue. Https://www.impalaforums.com/threads/2015-ltz-water-in-trunk.1299889/ https://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/345533/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swmzhhaxn5o
Occasionally the dash and radio go all black, getting no power. When opening or closing sunroof, it will stop in the middle. It either stops completely or will stop and go in opposite direction as the button pushed. When stepping on the brake to push start, the brake gets super hard and the dash panel will say, 'press brake to start.' I am pressing the brake! Most recently, 'side detection' is displaying on dash panel and blind spot lights are not lighting up on mirrors. I've read a number of similar issues online with the same year. I had this car back 7x for water getting in the trunk. It lays where the spare tire is and the carpet above is never wet. Every-time the dealership said it was something different. Oh and it still is getting water in the trunk. Dealership said they don't know what else to do! Just yesterday I was stoped at a red light and it sounded and felt like the car was going to shut down. Then it gained power just as fast. My car only has 27,000 miles and a lot of problems.
Water leaking into trunk of vehicle for quite some time, but thought it was from opening trunk when it was raining. Recently had tailight gasket replaced not under warranty or recall. Water still leaking and 2in split weld discovered behind bumper which cause taillight and trunk to not sit properly. Vehicle bought new and no accidents. Instructed to go to a body shop for repair.
