Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, public domain. Complaint counts reflect what owners reported and are not a measure of failure rate per vehicle sold.
What this can and cannot tell you: these are complaints owners chose to file, not a failure rate. Popular models accumulate more of them simply by being common. How this is built.
Owners filed 1,925 complaints with NHTSA about the 2014–2020 Chevrolet Impala, and 1,285 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.
Failures are spread across the mileage range, with the middle half between 32,000 and 85,000 miles. The median is 58,000 miles.
The most-reported areas are the electrical system (20.0% of complaints, typically around 60,000 miles), the steering (11.6% of complaints, typically around 65,000 miles), problems owners could not categorise (11.3% of complaints, typically around 57,000 miles).
13 recall campaigns cover this generation.
If you arrived asking “is it reliable?” — this page answers the version of that question the data can support: which problems owners reported, and at what mileage.
How many miles does a 2014–2020 Chevrolet Impala last?
Half of the failure reports on the 2014–2020 Chevrolet Impala were filed by 58,000 miles and 90% by 118,000 miles — figures drawn from 1,285 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.
12 reports (0.9%) came in past 200,000 miles — each one proof a Impala reached that mileage, not that it died there.
Before you buy a 2014–2020 Impala: the 3-minute check
Generated from 1,285 mileage-tagged complaints, 13 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 13 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Check hybrid system on 2014–2015 cars. eAssist mild-hybrid battery cable and fuse box faults; the eAssist variant was offered only briefly and dropped after MY2015.
- Check transmission on 2014–2020 cars. 6T70/6T75 harsh 1-2 shift and torque converter shudder complaints.
- Check engine on 2014–2020 cars. 3.6L water pump leaks; on the direct-injection V6, intake valve carbon buildup.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer, failures on this generation are spread rather than concentrated: the middle half falls between 32,000 and 85,000 miles, with a median of 58,000. There is no single mileage threshold to watch, which means condition and maintenance records are more informative than the odometer.
On inspection, the electrical system and the steering are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The electrical system in particular shows a median failure mileage of 60,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

Which systems, and when
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 58,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
The electrical system accounts for 20.0% of complaints (385 reports, 261 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 60,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 37,000 and 89,000 miles.
The steering accounts for 11.6% of complaints (223 reports, 160 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 65,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 40,000 and 90,000 miles.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 11.3% of complaints (217 reports, 123 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 57,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 29,000 and 77,000 miles.
Electronic stability control (esc) accounts for 7.1% of complaints (136 reports, 124 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 66,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 48,000 and 90,000 miles.
The brakes account for 6.6% of complaints (128 reports, 93 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 53,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 14,000 and 75,000 miles.
The engine accounts for 6.6% of complaints (127 reports, 90 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 58,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 32,000 and 90,000 miles.
Differences between model years
Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2014 model year drew the most — 1,019 complaints — while 2020 drew the fewest at 26. The median year sits at 138.
That makes 2014 an outlier: roughly 7.4 times the median year of this generation. A single year standing that far apart usually reflects either a first-year issue that was later corrected, or a component change introduced for that year. Anyone shopping this generation has a straightforward reason to prefer a different year, all else being equal.
Recalls and what they cover
NHTSA records 13 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around the parking brake (3), the airbag system (2), the electrical system (2). Repeated recalls against the same area of the car generally mean the first remedy did not fully resolve the underlying problem.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.
Reported severity
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 1,925 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 82 (4.3%)
- Fires
- 41
- Injury reports
- 49
- Fatality reports
- 0
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.

The affected vehicles may have left the factory with the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) set to "manufacturing mode."
What can happen. In manufacturing mode, the vehicle's air bags will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
The free fix. GM will notify owners, and dealers are to reprogram the SDM to the correct mode, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in September 2014.

The defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured May 7, 2014, to July 28, 2014. In the event of an accident, the center storage console may not stay latched. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 201, "Occupant Protection In Interior Impact."
What can happen. The storage compartment door may not remain closed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
The free fix. Parts to remedy this condition are not currently available. GM will send owners an interim notification in early October 2014, and will send a second letter when parts are available.

The defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may caus
