2015 Chevrolet Impala brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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

On several occasions, the parking brake engaged independently and, sometimes, took an extended amount of time to disengage.

Uncommanded activation of parking brake. While parked, ignition off, ignition key removed, vehicle unoccupied, parked on flat and level surface, parking brake activated approx two minutes after engine turned off.
I can get my car and my parking brake is engaged I have to release the parking brake, the dealership replaced it once and it still happening (bill fox in rochester, mi). The car is slow at acceleration
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...

Severe vibration with foot on brake pedal transmission in drive, the colder the outside temp. The worse the vibration gets. Been to dealership 6 times different repairs made nothing worked. I have all repair documents. Chevrolet acknowleged the problem however has no solution.
In motion on city street going about 45 when vehicle in front of me was in motion to make a right turn and came to an abrut stop.

As I put the car in reverse the driver's side front brake stayed clutched against the rooter. I notified thrifty car rental numerous times but no assistant as yet.
When I was reversing the car the front driver side breaks was tightly grip on too the rotor. As I tap on the gas the car did it move. I had to put it in drive and try again.
On june 30, 2015 I purchased a 2015 chevy impala from red river chevy, bossier city, la 71111, (318) 549-7500. On july 17, 2015 the entire my link system which includes, onstar, GPS, cd player and sirius xm radio quit working. Onstar could not locate my vehicle. On july 27, 2015 I took my car in to have the GPS/my link fixed. They had to replace the whole module. Before the my link failure I kept hearing a roaring noise on the car and sometimes smelling a burning odor. I asked a local mechanic what that could be and he gave me the option of ball bearings, tires could make the noise and check the brakes. I looked on your website for any recalls on the impala and there is a recall for the emergency brake pads sticking to the tire that could result in a fire. I asked the service department to fix the brakes recall. I was told there is no fix for the brakes, because they haven't received the software. I asked the owner to refund my money, because I was afraid to drive the car. He didn't want to do that and told me it was a used car. I could trade the car for another vehicle as a used car trade in. This dealership knew there was a safety risk with the brakes and no repair for the possible failure and still sold me this vehicle. They failed to disclose this information to me. If my car caught fire going down an interstate I would not know it until it was too late, plus I take my 83 yr old mother in the car; I may not have time to get her out. This dealership did not care about my safety in driving this car. I was given a impala loaner while they repaired the GPS and it also has a burning odor. General motors does not need to sell any cars with this issue until a fix is given. I could see if I had the car before a recall notice, but I bought it after the recall. This is pure negligence on general motors part and red river chevy. I want all of my money back.
I purchased a new 2015 chevrolet impala lt2 on june 30, 2015 with 25 miles on the odometer from red river chevy, bossier city, la. The GPS and navigation and the whole infotainment system stopped working. Onstar could not locate my vehicle. It kept saying I was in texas when I haven't been to texas in this vehicle. The car must have come from texas. The car was placed in the repair shop on july 27 and is still in the shop. They could not get it to work while I was at the dealership. The brakes on the car have a burning smell to them and have a creeking sound. When I stop it sounds like something is rubbing the tires. I asked about the brakes, I was told it could not be fixed because gm has not released the software to fix the problem and the sound the brakes make, he stated he probably couldn't fix the sound. The road noise in this car is really loud now. It wasn't loud like this when I purchased the vehicle. My 83 yr old mother mentioned the noise and she's hard of hearing. A local mechanic told me ball bearings will make that type of noise. I know gm installed bad switches, I hope they didn't install bad brakes and ball bearings. They are aware of the sound and I was told its just louisiana highways. What am I supposed to do about the brake issue? I would like a new car that is safer to drive. It has not been 30 days can I get a refund or another vehicle?
