2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited exterior lighting problems

“Multiple electric concerns...airbag light, park assist, inop camera, and losing communication with BCM(?) Found multiple communication codes for a variety of different modules. Found main source to be from the "side detection modules". Found fuse 62 blown underhood. Inspected side detection modules and found "a lot of corrosion" on both modules and connectors. Needs side detection kit. I purchased the used impala on 12/19/2020 with 63,897 miles. The first time this issue was a concern was on 07/02/2022 at Merit chevrolet (MN). Mileage was at 83144 at that time. Diagnosis ... recommend both rear side detection modules and harness? According to Special coverage adjustment #N172097060 it is known to be subject to "water intrusion"? This problem affects the whole electrical system which includes airbag function. Why does this safety concern have a limited coverage time? According to the "Special Coverage" document, there was an 80000 mile timeline? This appears to be an ongoing issue with this year, make, and model and my feeling is that a "special coverage" is denying the safety problem and putting it on the consumer?”

“side detection module has falled... yes it is available for inspection... my wife got locked in the car on a 80 plus degree day and could not get out,doors would not open,trunk release would not open trunk so she could crawl there the back seat,sunroof would not open,power steering periodically feels like there is no power stearing, dash lights periodically shut off when driving.. Yes, morries forest lake chevrolet and cadilac.forest lake. mn... no it has not been inspected by anyone but the dealer...There were no warning lights untill 51,000 miles or 8 months ago”

“Driving at night my car headlights/instrument panel shut off on their own. I couldn’t see had to slam my brakes and pull over. Nothing I tried would turn them on. After almost a minute each time they just came back on theirselves. After googling this seems to be a known problem with Chevy impalas but no solution. This is highly dangerous. There were no warning lights that came on or anything. I was able to still drive the car, turn it on and off, etc but they wouldn’t come on until they did on their own. Thank goodness no one was behind me or something in front of me cause I was on a none lighted 55 mph road”

“Side detection module malfunction. Causing electrical issues and error codes. When happening Headlights Turn on and off without control. Huge safety problem when driving at night!”

“REAR BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAILED, CAUSING MOST ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS TO ALSO FAIL. HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS, REAR CROSS TRAFFIC, SPEEDOMETER, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, INCONSISTENT GAS PEDAL OPERATION.”

“I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND CUT OF MY CAR. AFTER OPENING THE DOOR MY SEAT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES. THAT'S WHEN MY DASH BOARD GAVE ME AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING THAT I NEED TO ROLL MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN. SO, I DID THAT BUT THE NEXT DAY MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM WAS OFF ALONG WITH MY RADIO AND ON-STAR SYSTEM. SO I DROVE TO THE GAS STATION BEFORE HEADING TO WORK, AND WHEN I TRIED TO GET IN MY CAR THE POWER WAS OFF. I WENT UNDER-HOOD TO SEE IF THE BATTERY WAS LOOSE BUT IT WASN'T. SO I SHUT THE HOOD GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND EVERYTHING INCLUDING MY RADIO, GPS, AND ON-STAR CAME BACK ON. I HEADED OUT TO WORK AND THAT IS WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE ERROR MESSAGE SAID WARNING NO POWER STEERING. I GOT TO WORK SAFELY AND REALIZED I LEFT SOMETHING IN MY CAR AND THAT IS WHEN MY CAR SHOW SIGNS THAT IT WAS DEAD, BUT AFTER MANUALLY GETTING INTO MY CAR THE POWER CAME BACK ON. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH WATER GETTING INTO MY TRUNK WHICH IS WHAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME WAS POSSIBLY CAUSING THE ISSUES. AS A DISABLED VETERAN THIS MESSES WITH MY PTSD AND FINANCIALLY I CANT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR AN ISSUE THAT I SEE MY 2014…”
