Asked by Johnny6018 May 25, 2018 at 10:46 PM about the 2012 Chevrolet Impala LS Fleet FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The traction control light flashes like it does when its icey.But the
temperatures been like +35c the last few days and the pavement is clear!No
other lights come on except the traction control light with it showing a car
slipping on a icey road that's what's displayed on my dash.But ive only ever
seen that light come on when it's slippery out.I live in extreme weather
conditions from 40c to 40c so theres got to be something wrong and i do
hear something from the front right side like a grinding noise.But i turn off the
traction control switch and alls good.Im planning a trip to Vancouer B.C. and i
wonder if i keep turning the traction control switch everytime i start car up if id
make my trip with no problem from this  specific problem ? I imagine I'll be
putting on about 6000 kms on my trip any help much appreciated the car has
83000 kms on it ive owned it for about 28 months now with no problems it
had 49000km on it so I figured I got a good deal but if needs tramission it not
such a deal.The carfax showed it was  accident free and no claims on it .And
it was  registered has a fleet vehicle not rental.

Now if i don't shut off the traction control the front wheel shakes real bad but it will stop right away it only does it on acceleration from stop position!!?
