I have the same problem - I was recommended a brake fluid drain and brake fluid sensor replacement - haven't done it yet, but hopefully it works. Dealer quoted me $190.

Look on the brake fluid reservoir cover, it should have the type of fluid required labeled on it. Most autos use dot 3 as I am sure your Impala does, unless it has a special brake system.

Failed caliper, wheel cylinder, hose, line,

Vehicle is unsafe to drive.

it will be behind the tire and on the brake and it is less than a inch tall.Someone will need to get in the car and pump the brakes a couple times, and hold the brake in. Then lossen the screw and the air will come out and tighten the swrew back and u are done. do that a couple time and it will work great.

perform a simple test. drive your vehicle and '''CAREFULLY'''do an emergency stop ,check if the abs works. if it does there's no problem that requires bleeding. bleeding is '''ONLY'''done if there is air in the system or if you are changing any part that would require you to disconect a hose or a line. you may have a pressure problem or simply a bad sending unit. to find air in the system just put pressure on the brake pedal if slowly goes down to the floor then you know you need to bleed the system.
