Our safety issue started with collision sensors coming on when no one was in a lane next to us. Then the light would stay on in side the vehicle after car was shut off. Problem started around 35,000. Problem self corrected, however at 36,100 miles the sensor for indicating cars in the blind spots on right side of car completely failed. If you have ever driven a 2015 imapa one will quickly notice the large blind spot areas and the importance of these safety devices. Started having problems with key fob, theft system, radio, etc at 40,900 miles. This became a must fix now. A module kit has been ordered (02195-c) and this is suppose to fix the problems. Bad sensor or sensors in the bumper. Part is on back order so this indicates to me the problem may be a bit more wide spread impacting chevy owners and there safety. Now of concern I read this has been a known problem within chevy but the vehicle problem was not addressed in new models or fixed for free in a timely manner. Hopefully this becomes a recall item and advertised to current owners.

The automatic occupant sensing system (aos) is failing to recognize the front passenger. The service airbag alert goes off and on every 3 to 4 minutes. There was a recall on the 2015 chevy impala for this same issue but somehow my vehicle was not associated with this recall. I believe that this may be in error. I fear for my daughters safety ,and have had continuous issues with vehicle including major electrical, key fob, battery charging, complete AC failure which will be a 2400.00 charge in which I cant afford on top of the air bag issue and have gotten no resolution. I am a single mom and this is my first vehicle that I have financed, this is a total nightmare. Please investigate and hopefully follow up with this issue. Thanks

Started with side detection light not going off. Then service for side detection came on. Within a week I had multiple errors and services such as rear camera, front camera, collison prep, park assist. Replaced fuses even though nothing was wrong with them. Same lights. As the days go on... I am experiencing troubles with car starting having to manually start/insert fob into center console. Heating and electrical inside car not working, stopped in middle of driving and it was foggy and obviously I couldn't defrost my windows. Restarted car numerous times and then heat popped back on. Also in the middle of driving it states key fob not detected and it's literally in the cup holder. I have changed the battery recently at the dealer so it is not a faulty fob or battery. My trunk has been just popping open for no reason and several times while I was driving but also while stationary. For some reason my power steering is now acting like it is out of fluid and grinding however all fluid is full. It seems to be all electrical and very scary and unpredictable.

Second experience where car shut off completely while driving at a steady speed. Foot is on gas, maintaining speed, all electronics shut off - lights, gauges - everything. Almost instantly, car restarts itself. Car has remote start, cruise control and push button start. Dealership states no error code recorded and charges $125 each time we complain about this. First time was around 30k miles. This was 59k miles. One owner (me).
