Chevrolet Impala Change Vehicle

"due to salt the sensor module failed behind the rear bumper"

"CD player keeps rejecting CD's and will not play them. Dealer claims they are unable to duplicate problem and that CD player is working properly."

"When sun glare hits 45 degree navigation screen, the picture suddenly becomes invisible. This is especially hazardous when in reverse and you expect and rely on expanded rear visibility as an additional safety feature"

"It just stoped working while we were driving. When we shut the vehicle off, and then started it, it worked again."

"My screen just went blank 6 weeks after I purchased the car"

"My wife was driving the car and the whole infotainment system went out. She called onstar and they reset it. I believe there is a software update"

"Display screen blank for several starts then would come back. Happened 2 or 3 times. Dealer repaired (under warranty) by installing (downloading??) "update""

"for some unknown reason my Mylink infotainment screen went black not blank black for about 3 days .and I was unable to use my radio or navigation system. Than after getting in my car and closing the door the screen came back to life. It has done this twice so far. I believe I have a loose connection some where in the dashboard."

"It got fixed."

"When the glare of sun hits the 45 degree navigation screen, the picture suddenly becomes invisible. This is hazardous when in reverse when you expect and rely on expanded rear visibility as an additional safety feature"

"Smartphone stopped working and I took it back to dealership for repair. Dealer had to reprogram the Smartphone software. Seems to be working now however it has only been about 6 weeks since repair."

"Phone can't pair and when it is paired it uses phone instead of Bluetooth to play songs from phone"

"Bose system gets stuck on the last song played when car was shut off last. Car has lots of road noise which you did not offer on your noise choices. CR tests said this car was quiet, it is not! Takes the joy out of ownership. Same thing in another I"

"sometimes it does not work"

"The MyLink system is not fully compatible with the SiriusXM traffic notification subscription as the map does not show the type of traffic (light, medium, heavy) for all roads. For example, around Baltimore MD, it will only display the type of traffic for the beltway (695). It ignores all others including 70. I've contacted both GM and SiriusXM and they blame each other. I'm siding with SiriusXM as my previous vehicles (a Ford and Chrysler) worked fine"

"Nav system locks up after about 1-2 hours on long trips. You have to stop and shut off system for at most 10 minutes to reset nav system. Two attempts to fix failed. Cant tell if fixed until you take another long trip. Therefore it takes months for most average people to determine if fixed. They wont know until it messes up next family vacation."

"The module that controls onstar and the GPS navigation did not work when we picked up the car"

"After operating for several hours on a long trip, the system loses it's instructions where it is going. It knows it's present location. Chevrolet was unable to duplicate the problem although they ran some system checks. The service manager told me to stop the vehicle and turn off the ignition. Wait 30 seconds and start the vehicle and the system should function properly. I have not taken a trip since which is over 2 1/2 hours and the system has not malfunctioned since then."

"System working fine since final repair/replacement around 3 years ago."

"Sometimes it works, most times it does not."

"same"

"When brand new, car paired up the dealer's test phones but failed to pair on delivery to me the customer. Had to come back next day to pick up the car after they replaced the Bluetooth module"

"Soft popping noise occurs constantly during FM radio reception"

"Bluetooth activation from steering wheel control did not work. Module was replaced under warranty"

"Both rear blind spot modules stopped working."

"Dash turns off on occasion. Appears to be a short as it then comes back on later. Dealer knows nothing as to why at this point"

"Blind side mirror on passenger side"

"rear tail lights gasket failure cause major water leak into trunk"

"Temperature gauge doesn't move to changes in temp. correctly. From 187 to 211 degrees stays at same dial point"

"While driving at speed, all gauges and dash display went dead. Car still operated but gauges went blank or to zero. Gauges came back, eventually but I continued to have intermittent problems with error codes related to traction control, power steering, and more; including the speedometer and tachometer fluctuating wildly while driving. Just error codes and gauge fluctuation with no apparent affect on the actual systems or mechanics - car still drove fine. After having it checked out three times but an independent shop and a dealer, it was diagnosed as a communications error between the key fob and the car. Dealer replaced the battery (one I had purchased from the same dealer less than six months previously, and the issues seem to have largely abated. I still had at least one instance of wild gauge fluctuation while driving, but nothing else."

"When head lights are used on dark nights they suddenly go out! when I manually use the control knob and change from automatic to Manuel the lights work OK, but it does get a little scary when the lights suddenly go out!!"

"The headlights on this vehicle provide poor illumination. There is very little lighting provided to the periphery. Brightness of the headlights is very disappointing and would keep me from buying this vehicle again"

"Headlights are inadequate and present a definite safety issue. The lights were not adjusted properly when I bought the car & it was difficult to see the road at night. I took my car back to the dealer and they adjusted the angle of the lights which improved the lighting slightly but not enough for me to feel safe driving the car at night. One night, my mother-in-law even asked my husband why he hadn't turned on the headlights because it was dark. The scary thing was that the lights were already"

"Headlight became fogged due to condensation from water that got into the sealed compartment. This happened when I was 1,000 miles over 35,000 mile warranty so I now have to pay over $1,000 to get it fixed"

"One headlight kept going on and off. Replaced and problem ended. New bulbs are very, very expensive. over $200.00 plus installation. Dealership put it in and did not charge me. ."

"One headlight burned out. It was very expensive to fix. ($400)"

"the headlights don't shine far enough ahead. side view doesn't show wide enough and side view disappears too soon. may consider different brand because of this"

"The problem was a faulty switch which caused the heated/cooled seat feature to stop working."

"Passenger side blind spot monitor malfunctioned causing multiple warning lights to activate and speedometer to bounce all around. It was diagnosed as a short in the main control for the system and cost just over $1,000 to repair."

"The side detection warning lights module has failed three times. It was covered under warranty but if it fails when not under warranty I won't replace."

"random warning lights keep coming on. Dealer says car has no issues."

"Salt and de-icing solutions in winter corroded wires or the actual sensor."

"problem resolved early 2019. replace wiring harness under drivers side seat"

"This is a known problem with in the Impala because of the wiring harness"

"Safety systems stopped working. Fix cost almost $1,000. Chevrolet originally denied responsibility but finally admitted it was responsible for defect and reimbursed me."

"Covered by reimbursement."

"Blind spot sensors coroded and failed."

"This is the only problem I've had to have fixed since I bought the vehicle new. The blind spot sensor in the rear driver's side bumper failed due to corrosion. The dealership recommended replacing both senseors at teh same time for a total cot of $1200. The dealership was able to get me help on the cost from GM as the car was out of warranty so the cost was about $600."

"I just received a letter from Chevrolet indicating that the problem I am having may be covered by an extended warranty. I have not yet taken the vehicle in to the dealer to be evaluated."

"Went off when there was no problem. Example: Going under a bridge on freeway Corrected by dealer"

"Not reliable"

"Stoped work ing"

"this part of the safety system eventually caused the entire system to fail, caused by water , etc. infiltrating the rear side sensor packs."

"System stopped functioning on both sides of the car. Required expensive repair."

"Has gone out on both sides. Paid almost $500 to have the passenger side replaced. Then the driver side went out. Did not repair it right away. Received notification from GM that they had experienced a lot of problems and would repair it for free, or reimburse cost if already repaired. Have waited over 2 months for the dealership to get in the part.. still waiting."
