Dead battery on other Impala years
No other Impala model year has enough reports of dead battery for a sheet of its own. See every Impala year.
What this problem usually is
These owners walk out to a car that's dead. Some find it drained after sitting only a day or two, some need a jump start every week, and some have had the battery replaced more than once without the problem going away. A good number describe the dealer testing the battery, calling it fine, and sending them home.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the battery (21 reports) and the module (6 reports).
Recalls and investigations
3 recalls on the electrical system cover the 2014 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
In the affected vehicles, the chassis electronic module may be internally contaminated, resulting in an electrical short.
In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Originally, in May 2013, GM recalled 1,627 model year 2013 Cadillac ATS and model year 2013 Cadillac XTS; and model year 2014 Chevrolet Impala vehicles.

What owners wrote
“My blind spot detectors went out, now as a result most of the electrical stuff no longer works. The car powers on and drains the battery randomly and the speedometer doesnât work. Every light comes on from front camera, abs, and even power steering. I didnât feel safe taking my kids to school and now I donât feel I should pay $1,300 out of pocket.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 29 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
