Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the shade of the sunroof started to detach, and the sunroof shade started lowering from the sunroof of the vehicle. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.
Upon opening the sunroof while driving, the sunshade track bunched up and got stuck while opening. I was able to unbunch the track the get the sunshade to close, however, the fabric ripped away from the track on both sides. When the sunroof is opened, the fabric falls down into the car and completely blocks the view out of the back window. I tired putting the fabric up in the space it should roll into, but it will not stay and falls down while driving. I stopped using the sunroof for this reason. Now the fabric hangs down into the car. This happened almost a year ago. The fabric has continued to hang down further and further into the car. It is beginning to fall into the line of vision of the rear window. I used safety pins to hold it up, but it continues to hang down further. I have decided to get it fixed for this reason. It will cost almost $800 to have it repaired. This is clearly a safety hazard. I have read several forums on other owners with the same safety issue. A service repair bulletin has been issued for this problem, but it should be a safety recall.
THE REAR WINDOW IS SMALL AND I DEPEND ON THE BACK UP CAMERA BUT IT IS DARK AND I CANNOT SEE A PERSON BEHIND THE CAR -- THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT'S THE WAY IT'S MADE AND GM GOES WITH THEIR DEALERSHIP -- THEY'RE WRONG -- TRIED TO GET IT FIXED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO LUCK
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,469.
SUNROOF EXPLODED! I WAS DRIVING MY NEW, 3 WEEK OLD, 2015 CHEVY IMPALA LTZ ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 65 MPH, WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION AND MY RETRACTABLE PANEL OF THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED, WITHOUT CAUSE, AND BLEW OUTWARD. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE CAR AS THE PASSENGER SEAT AND REAR SEATS WERE COVERED WITH SHARDS OF GLASS. THE REMAINING GLASS IN THE FRAME WAS ALL BENT OUTWARD WHICH MADE IT APPEAR THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL EXPLOSION TO PUSH MOST OF THE GLASS UP AND OUT OF THE CAR. WHY THE MFG DOESN'T USE SAFETY GLASS, LIKE THE WINDSHIELD, INSTEAD OF TEMPERED GLASS WHICH BREAKS INTO A THOUSAND PIECES IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT HIT THE SUNROOF GLASS, IT JUST EXPLODED ON ITS OWN. *TR
