NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Complaints for the 2019 Impala spread across a few systems, with the electrical system and powertrain drawing the most reports. On the electrical side, owners describe a range of issues including key fob detection failures, infotainment screens freezing on a basic display, and false alerts from the blind-spot monitoring system. A handful of owners also report intermittent steering behavior, describing the wheel stiffening or resisting input while driving curved roads. On the powertrain side, torque converter shudder is the recurring theme, with some owners noting the shudder persisted even after service attempts. The airbag system accounts for a cluster of complaints centered on the passenger seat occupant sensor, where owners report the passenger airbag deactivating while an adult is seated, apparently related to the sensor contacting the seat frame.
