2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA
WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2020 I NOTICED THAT MY BLIND SPOT WARNING LIGHT IN THE PASSENGERS MIRROR WAS TURNING ON AND OFF. I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. THEY HAD MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. WITHIN 6 MONTHS THE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF AGAIN WHEN THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLES IN MY BLIND SPOT. FOR THE LAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE ONLY THING I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND IS THAT THE SENSORS IN THE REAR BUMPER FOR BLIND SPOT DETECTION WERE PRODUCED WITH A FAULTY SEAL TO KEEP MOISTURE OUT OF THESE SENSORS. IF THEY KNOW THAT THESE SENSORS WILL COLLECT MOISTURE AND CAUSE THEM TO SHORT OUT THEN WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THESE SENSORS? I HAVE HAD MANY TIMES THAT I WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO CHANGE LANES WHEN THE BLIND SPOT MONITOR WOULD BLINK TO INFORM ME THAT THERE IS ANOTHER VEHICLE THERE. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO START TO CHANGE LANES THEN HAVE TO PULL BACK TO AVOID SOMETHING THAT IS NOT EVEN THERE. I WOULD THINK THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND MIGHT EVEN CAUSE ACCIDENTS, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO FOR THIS ISSUE AND TO KNOW IF I'M THE ONLY DRIVER WITH THIS PROBLEM? THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME AND GOTTEN TO WHERE IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE.

I HAD THE DRIVER SIDE BLIND SPOT DETECTION GO BAD ON MY IMPALA, SO IT'S STARTING OUT THAT MY DRIVER SIDE MIRROR BLIND SIDE IMAGE WAS BLINKING, THEN IT STOP AND WAS WORKING OK FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS AND THEN A MESSAGE APPEARS ON MY DASH TO FIX THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM, WHICH IF FINE, BUT WHEN I GO TO THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I CAN JUST DO AWAY WITH THIS SYSTEM, THE FEEDBACK THAT I'VE FIND OUT WAS VERY UPSETTING, EVERYTHING ON DASH DOESN'T WORK, CAN'T GET INTO THE CAR, CARS DON'T START. THAT'S FINE BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO GET FIX THE SERVICE MANAGER AND WORKER TELL ME ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN WHEN THIS SYSTEM GOES DOWN. WHAT HAPPENS IF I'M DRIVING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IT JUST STOP RUNNING, I HAVE NO BREAKS OR STEERING. IT'S CAUSES AN ACCIDENT.TO ME THIS IS A VERY SAFETY ISSUE. AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE BLIND SIDE IS BLINKING NOW, IT STOP BLINKING AND WORKING FINE FOR AWHILE AND THAN JUST QUITE WORKING.

THE ISSUE STARTED OUT AS A WARNING FROM THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM. IN THE PAST WEEK, THE ISSUE ESCALATED TO ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH COMING ON, AND THEN ALL ELECTRONICS GOING DEAD/DARK. THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS HAVE NO LIGHTS AND NO SOUND, THE RADIO SYSTEM IS DEAD, THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE ARE DEAD. AFTER SITTING A FEW HOURS, IT SEEMED THAT THINGS "RESET" TO JUST THE SIDE DETECTION WARNING. MOST RECENTLY, ALL THE ELECTRONICS ARE ACTING STRANGE. PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR HANDLE TO UNLOCK IT, DOES NOTHING TO THE DOOR LOCK, HOWEVER, THE DISPLAY SCREEN SHOWS "TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE". WHEN ATTEMPTING THE START THE CAR BY PUSHING THE START BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENS. IF I PUT THE FOB IN THE SLOT INSIDE THE ARMREST, IT WILL EVENTUALLY START, BUT AGAIN ALL DISPLAY FUNCTIONS ARE DEAD AS IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS (NO BLOWER - NO DEFROST- NO GOOD ON A COLD RAINY DAY). AGAIN THE SIGNAL INDICATORS ARE DARK AND SILENT. THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAGS IS NOW ILLUMINATED AS WELL. GM HAD A SHORT LIVED (AND SEEMINGLY SECRET) EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM HAVE THIS EXACT ISSUE WHEN WATER GOT INTO THE SENSORS, BUT THAT EXPIRED NEARLY A YEAR AGO. AS THIS ISSUE MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE, IT SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY CONCERN.

WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON AND NOT IN MOTION THE DASH DISPLAYS A SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM MESSAGE AND THE BLIND SPOT DETECTORS IN THE SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT LIGHT UP LIKE THEY SHOULD WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED. WHEN DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED AND ON ANY ROADS OR HIGHWAY, THE BLIND SPOT DETECTORS DO NOT LIGHT. WHEN ASSESSED BY A CHEVY MECHANIC THE SIDE DETECTION SENSORS WERE SWOLLEN AND . CORRODED. THIS SENSOR IS IN AN AREA WHERE IT IS UNPROTECTED FROM THE SNOW AND SALT. IT WILL COST ALMOST $2,000 TO REPLACE TWO SENSORS. IF NOT REPLACED I'M AFRAID THAT MY VEHICLES WILL START CATCHING FIRE OR HAVING OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LIKE OTHER 2015 IMPALA OWNERS HAD HAPPEN TO THEM IN THE PAST DUE TO THESE CORRODED SENSORS.

THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION ISN'T WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. USUALLY IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL, AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IT'LL COME ON RANDOMLY AND STAY ON AND NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF.
