2015 Chevrolet Impala: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Jul 21, 2024 · Electrical, Steering · FL

Complete loss of power assist steering resulting in difficulty in steering the vehicle at any speed. DIC messages indicate: loss of power steering, drive with caution, service traction control, and service ABS. ABS and traction control warning lights remain on and illuminated while driving. These indicators occur each time the vehicle is restarted. This problem originally started about two and a half months ago, and the power steering loss, for a while, was intermittent until recently. The vehicle has not been inspected been inspected by mechanics to date. I have researched hundreds of Impalas online with the same problem with a majority of them remaining unresolved and no manufacturer recall being issued. The vehicle mileage is currently 31, 104 miles and is not driven often because of the problem and the fact that I own two other vehicles.

Front Right lower control arm w/o police right front wheel. Tpms system. This will be the second time I’ve had to replace the front lower control arm the tea PMS system does not work ABS traction control are off totally the same year of car make model everything was recalled to have this fixed but it was only with the police cars what makes you think that the ones that weren’t police cars didn’t have the same issue it cost $427.20 to fix. I also understand that my vehicle you’re making model it’s not the only one having this issue of having to replace it over and over as far as electrical something keeps moving or coming on or off in the car it’s worn down to batteries it happens at any time I can walk by the car and making the noise. I have to keep replacing the tires due to this all I know is that when you’re driving it more getting ready to turn it makes a loud crunching grinding noise it can happen at any time it’s getting harder to control the steering wheel. The cost of replacing the tires is ridiculous 2xs in a year or less. Gas let’s not even go there. Traction and stabilization always on along with brake assist and tpms front two tires stopped working. And once again it’s doing it. Not sure of exact date but before 2020

When turning the steering wheel all the way to the left and accelerating the ABS activates and the ABS light momentarily comes on. I jacked up the front of the car to investigate and found that I could create the error by jiggling the wire to the ABS sending unit. Google the error and notice dozens of others with the same issue.

When I turn left, the ABS light/ traction light comes on and it says service traction control, service stabilitrak, service brake assist and it makes a grinding noise. The dealership replaced my wheel bearings and it's still the same problem

While making left turns or backing up grinding noise took it to independent shop replaced wheel bearing still continued replaced other wheel bearing at that time rack and pinion was leaking had that replaced 2 different trips to the shop and around 2000 after about 6 weeks started back up again. I start to look into it and I see a lot of folks are having the same problems with this I believe it's the ABS wire harness is to short and with brake over time. I feel if I fix this with a new harness it will just break again. My needs to fix this problem and make a new harness. I bought the car in oct 16 with about 40k started to happen not long after very intermittent until may when I couldn't get out of my neighborhood with out stabilatrak and ABS lights going off when I took it in like I said 6 weeks later just as bad and out the money

Whenever I turn the steering wheel to the left, the stabilitrack and ABS dashboard lights come on and the read-out panel says both systems need service and these lights stay on and the systems shut-off making the vehicle less safe. I should point out that the lights come on when the pavement is drive and its warm out. Why is this happening to the relatively new car with barely 50,000 miles. The car is designed to be driven with the stabilitrack and ABS systems working properly. I've looking into this on-line and it appears many people with impala's are experiencing the same issue. People have paid to have paid to have the wheel bearing assemblies replace, brakes replace, sensors replaces, only to have the "service" light come back on soon after the service has been completed. From my reading, it appears gm needs to issue a recall to fix this issue. Thank you

Havinagency at the federal safety agency g issues with the ABS and traction control lights keep coming on and off, and the more I surcharge about it, it seens to be that a lot of owners having the same problem with their chevy impalas, when you turn left is when the lights come on then seconds or minutes after that the go away and its been doing for a while, so I change the wheels hubs assembly, brake pads and still having the same problem, so lm very surprised that it hasn't coughed the attention so many owners having same problem with they chevy impalas... Tanks

"sevice stabilitrak" light came on, then 2 hours later ABS light came on and on every left turn there is a crunching sound in the front tire and alarms sound, and my engine started stalling as I was turning onto a busy street, almost was in a crash. When I made it home I researched it and found many other impala owners have the same problem, same scenario. This cannot be a coincidence that every chevy customer is describing this same situation. Chevrolet needs to have a recall on these impala's. We all love our impala's but you cannot allow us to be out there on the road in danger. We want to support american made!! Please do the right thing and fix this problem.
