2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA — Complaint #1747722
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:BLINDSPOT:SENSORS filed May 17, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1747722 (ODI reference 11417434) concerns a 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA and was filed on May 17, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 12, 2021. The vehicle had 75,812 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Wisconsin based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:adas:blindspot:sensors, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET IMPALA cohort independently describe similar electrical system:adas:blindspot:sensors failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
