What 2017 Chevrolet Impala owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The contact owned a 2017 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 MPH, a tractor-trailer crashed into the front passenger side of the vehicle causing the vehicle to cross two lanes of traffic and collide with a barrier wall. During the crash no air bags deployed. The driver sustained injuries to the back, spine, torso, arms, knees, and shoulders which required medical treatment. The vehicle was destroyed. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. Also, while the keys were inside the vehicle the doors had locked and the contact was unable to enter the vehicle. A locksmith was called to open the doors. The cause of the failure was not determined. The failure mileage was 72,000.
An airbag alert sounds very often, and the passenger airbag indicator shows that it is off. The vehicle has been taken to a dealer and they were not able to find the issue when running the diagnostics. The alarm continues to intermittently sound, and indicator shows the passenger airbag is off. This is of high concern that the airbag most likely will not deploy in case of impact.
While sitting in my car at a gas station my driver seat air bag went out. With no warning
My airbag light has been on now roughly two months and sometimes I'm actually scared to drive the car hoping that it won't deploy while I'm driving but it's my only means of transportation to get back and forth to work.I have checked all fuses I have gotten someone to put a tester light on it to make sure the wires are not brokenand there is no problem with the fuses all the wires so I have no idea what the problem is and the car was stationary when it first came on
I had an issue with the check engine light, car stalling, and changing gears slow. The chevy dealership stated that the purge valve was bad and replaced it on 7/3/20. My mom had the same issue with her chevy trax and a different dealership in a different city said that her purge valve was stuck open and replaced it. Also my airbag light is on now. I saw that [xxx] has recalls on certain vehicles but my chevy isn't listed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The airbag warning light comes on intermittently and at times remains illuminated while other times it is off. The light comes on randomly and does not always stay on.
Front end crash & airbags did not deploy
Airbag light comes on, on the passenger side when no one is sitting in the seat. The light comes on for service. The light would come on once I put the car in drive or once I put the vehicle in park. The first time the light would come on and go off but the second time the light stayed on.I took my car to the dealer twice and it was a bad sensor in the seat. It took a week to get the part from the manufacturer.
The passenger side air bag ... If I have a passenger on front seat the airbags goes off and light comes o the dash saying service airbag... Now I have no one in the car with me and airbag light is still on
