I have a 2014 Chevrolet Impala 2014 Ltz with 75000 miles on it. About a week ago I got a notification saying "service side detection" I lost my side detection on the side mirrors. Now my lane departure camera stop working and now my part assist for the rear camera has also stopped working. What's the point of paying more for a vehicle to be safe if all of the safety features start to fail.
The message can on in the car "side detection system " when I cut the car off and got back in, it was gone off. Later that night I got back in the car to go somewhere and the car wouldn't start. And every time I try starting it want.
Side Detection Modules failed due to water intrusion. Verified by Lynch Chevrolet Mukwonago Wi Service Dept. No warnings. Just system failed Chevy will not replace under previous service bulletin. Want me to pay for full replacement.
Started getting service side detection system warnings. Learned there has been a problem with this blind spot system. GM fixed it until Jan 2020 they say expired and my mileage was too high v problem just started last week of Feb 2022. 134k miles on it. Everything ran great but there are warnings from 2 years ago of dangerous repercussions from this defect. They won’t fix it and we can’t afford to have them fix it. I never got any notice of the problem from GM.
My blind spot light on my side mirror was flickering, and now it just stays on. I read online that the sensor in the bumper can overheat, causing a fire, but Chevrolet doesn't have a recall on it. I ended up shutting off the blind spot sensor option on my car. I utilize the sensors, especially on the highway when I travel. There hasn't been a warning light go on as of yet.
My blind spot warning system has stopped working. This same year vehicle was recalled in other options (I have a Impala LTZ). Just curious why the LTZ was not recalled? I don't imagine it is a different system.
When I drive down the road my blind spot detection sensor goes off and lights up in the passenger mirror. It lights up if there is or is not a vehicle in my blind spot and has made me swerve back because I think there is someone or something in my blind spot. I have looked into this problem and it seems that there can be other issues that stem from this malfunction. I have owned the vehicle since 2019 where I purchased from a certified Chevrolet dealer and was not informed of this problem. This problem started to happen about 8 months ago and I reached out to where I purchased the venicle from with no response back from the salesperson I purchased thru. I don't want to continue to deal with this dealership and not get a return call from them. I have not had any other dealership look at this problem but I really need to find someone that can and will take care of this for me. I don't feel safe sometimes when changing lanes or letting my girlfriend us my vehicle to goto the store, or even take her child to school or sporting events he is involved in. I have done some searching on my own and seen that Chevrolet knows about this issue but I still have not received any information about this problem that has been going on for quite a bit of time.
THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS OCCURS IN 3 YEARS .THIS OCCURRED AFTER IT WAS RAINING THE SENSOR IS IN A BAD SPA OR AND GM IS NOT TAKING FAULT BECAUSE IT IS OVER IN MILES AND YEA FOR THE SPECIAL COVERAGE . I WISH THAT I COULD JUST NOT HAVE THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION. CAUSES MORE PROBLEMS THEN WHAT IT'S WORTH.
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.
ISSUES WITH BLIND SPOT SYSTEM, SOMETIMES CAUSES ALL POWER ON DASH TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, HAVE READ MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES ONLINE. SOUNDS LIKE THE BLIND SPOT MONITOR MODULES ARE TRASH, BUT NOT RECALLED....
THE FRONT CAMERA COLLISION, LANE DEPARTURE, BLIND SPOT WARNING SYSTEM ARE ALL PART OF AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM THAT WARNS THE DRIVER. IN 2014, CHEVROLET LOCATED THESE MODULES IN THE REAR BUMPER AND DID NOT SUFFICIENTLY PROTECT THEM FROM THE WEATHER ELEMENTS, SO WATER GETS INTO THEM AND CAN CAUSE A FIRE, AND FAILURES FROM LOSING YOUR DASH GAUGES TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. CHEVY WAS NICE ENOUGH TO ISSUE A SERVICE ACTION, BUT LIMITED TO A 6 MONTH TIME FRAME FOR REPAIRS. THEY ISSUED N172097060, WHICH WAS AVAILABLE FROM APRIL 2019 TO JANUARY 2020. THIS WAS NICE IF IT FAILED DURING THAT TIME. MINE FAILED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OCTOBER 2017, WHICH WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, AND AGAIN IN APRIL OF 2020, WHICH WAS JUST OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. CHEVY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE AGAIN BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF THE N172097060 RECALL DUE TO TIME, NOT MILEAGE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.I WAS READING THAT THERE WAS A LETTER SENT, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED IT. I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY, KNOWING ABOUT THE PROBLEMM.
Blind zone alert sensor failed due to manufacturing error that lets water into the sensor and corrodes it and causes it to smoke and potentially catch fire
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED DUE TO THEIR HEIGHT THAT IT IS MORE DIFFICULT OUT THE REAR WINDOW.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MILEGE WAS 37,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE WAS FOUND TO BE RELATED TO MOLD FORMED NEAR THE AMP IN THE TRUNK WHICH WAS CAUSED BY A WATER LEAK IN REAR PASSENGER LIGHT. THIS LEAK WAS UNKNOWN AND MUST HAVE HAPPENED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. UPDATED 8/23/18*JB
