ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE POWER WINDOW KEEPS BREAKING. WE TAKE IT TO GET FIXED AND A MONTH OR TWO LATER IT BREAKS. THE LAST TIME IT WENT OUT MY WINDOW SHATTERED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITHOUT A DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND A PASSENGER WINDOW BEING HELD UP WITH PENCILS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR THESE WINDOWS TO BE FIXED EVERY MONTH. *TR

ENGINE
2007 CHEVY IMPALA WILL HAVE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THE WARNING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" WILL COME ON, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE, THE CAR SHAKES, AND IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. HAD THE GAS PEDAL AND THE EQUIVALENT PART IN THE ENGINE REPLACED (AT DIFFERENT TIMES) AND HAD THE CODES COME UP IN BETWEEN THE PARTS BEING REPLACED AND STILL NOW. TOOK IT INTO A CHEVY DEALER AND IT DOESN'T ACT UP FOR THEM. AND FOR WHATEVER REASON THEIR COMPUTER DOESN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES. I CALLED GM AND HAVE A CASE OPENED TO GET HELP FROM THEM. IT'S EXTREMELY SCARY TO HAVE THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED WHILE DRIVING AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T MANEUVER OR ACCELERATE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY COMPLAINT CONCERNS MY 2007 CHEVY IMPALA TRANSMISSION FLOOR SHIFTER IS LOCKING IN PARK.. I COULD NOT DEPRESS THE BUTTON ON THE FLOOR SHIFTER, TO SHIFT TO REVERSE. I TRIED TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH OF COURSE IS LOCKED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. I AM WORRIED THAT NEXT TIME IT WILL NOT GET UNSTUCK. SO I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND SAW MANY COMMENTS ABOUT 2007 IMPALA SHIFTER'S LOCKING AND REALIZED I NEEDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR
