ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT, THE CAR WILL NOT START. ONCE STARTED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THROWS MULTIPLE ERRORS, FROM SECURITY, BATTERY, SERVICE ENGINE SOON, ABS LIGHT, SEAT BELT LIGHT, AND BRAKES. THE RADIO IS LOCKED OUT AND THE AC FAN RUNS BUT WILL NOT ALLOW THE AC COMPRESSOR TO FUNCTION. ALSO THE HEAD LIGHTS FLASH AND THE COMPLETE DASH BOARD GOES DEAD INCLUDING ALL GAUGES, FROM THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE. THE WARNING BELL CONTINUES TO RING AS THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS A COULD CAUSE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH NO HEAD LIGHTS AND NO WORKING GAUGES ON THE DASH, AND SHOULD FOR SOME REASON THE SECURITY SYSTEM SHUTS THE CAR DOWN WHILE DRIVING, COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. GM SEEM TO BE NEGLECTING THIS ISSUE, AND EVEN GM AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS CLAIM TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS. YET IN MULTIPLE IMPALA FORUMS, THIS IS THE TOP ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, AND IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THE CONSUMER TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO CHASE THIS ISSUE DOWN. I JUST WISH AMERICAN CAR COMPANIES WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY IS IN QUESTION. *TR

WHEELS
THE LUG NUTS ON MY VEHICLE SEEM TO SOMEHOW LOOSEN THEMSELVES. THE FRONT DRIVER TIRE WILL MAKE NOISE THEN I LOOK AT THE NUTS TO FIND THAT THEY ARE LOOSE. THEN WHEN I GRAB THE TIRE IRON TO TIGHTEN THEM, THEY EITHER A) CAME LOOSE AGAIN LATER, OR B) THE NUT COMPLETELY COMES OFF...WITH PART OF THE PART THE NUT GOES ON STILL INSIDE. I MEAN THE ENTIRE PART BREAKS AND CAN'T BE FIXED WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE AXLE. AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE ARE ONLY 3 OF THE 5 NUTS HOLDING THE TIRE ON AND THE OTHERS BROKE. *TR

TURNED OFF CAR AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES OFF BUT CHECK ENGINE STAYS ON. CAME HOME GOOGLED WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE AND SEE THAT MANY IMPALAS OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE...I SEE A LAWSUIT HAPPENING IF GM DOES NOT RECALL THIS! *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. CAR WENT INTO REDUCED POWER MODE AND FINALLY DIED WHILE STILL MOVING. LOST POWER STEERING. THEN MY CAR SHUT DOWN, HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING IT OFF THE ROAD. THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. WITH THIS HAPPENING ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, MYSELF OR MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, DUE TO CAR SHUTTING DOWN. COST OF TOW AND SERVICE 350.00 I ALSO HAVE HAD THE CAR PUT IN FOR THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAG LIGHTS GOING OFF, SINCE BEING IN THE CHEVROLET DEALER, THE LIGHTS NEVER GO OFF. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHTS CAME ON. I SLOWED DOWN TO 40 AND WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED REALLY HARD AND DIED. RIGHT AS IT DIED ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON, SOMETHING ABOUT THE THROTTLE. I WAS ON A 4 LANE BRIDGE DURING RUSH HOUR. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. WHEN THEY GOT IT, IT STARTED RIGHT UP, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED 5 MORE TIMES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE I WAS DRIVING 50 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED WHEN SWITCHING FROM LOW BEAMS TO HIGH BEAMS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEXT THE CAR DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK. ORDERED NEW BODY CONTROL MODULE AND HAD IT PUT IN AND REPROGRAMMED AT DEALER. WORKED FOR A WEEK AND WHILE IN DRIVE THRU AND SHUT CAR OFF WHEN TRIED TO RESTART CAR IT WOULD NOT RESTART BUT START THROWING A BUNCH OF CODES. SAT FOR AWHILE FOUND SECOND SET OF KEYS PUT IT IN AND IT STARTED. APPARENTLY THE SECURITY SYSTEM WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY WHEN IT WAS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. THIS LOCKED THE CONTACT IN THE VEHICLE AND PREVENTED IT FROM STARTING. THE VEHICLE IS NOW IN THE SHOP. I HAVE FOUND OVER 1,000 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE WITH THIS CAR. IN 2004 I HAD NEW HEAD GASKETS PUT ON DUE TO THE COOLANT AND WAS SUPPOSE TO RECOUP SOME MONEY. I PUT IN CLAIM AND NEVER HEARD ANYTHING. NOW TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMEDIATELY. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH IMPALAS. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I SIGNAL I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO WORK. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALER BUT THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG. AS SOON AS I HIT THE 100,000 MILE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO TIGHTEN UP. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED THAT THE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE IGNITION KEY WAS TURNED ON, THE RADIO STILL PLAYING, ALL LIGHTS ON - BUT THE CAR WAS NOT ON. THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR UP AND IT WOULD NOT START. GIVING ME A CLICKING NOISE WITH NO ALERTS ON IN THE CAR. AFTER A FEW TRIES, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND I PARKED IT BACK AT HOME. THE SECOND TIME, THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 45 MINS AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I GOT MY CAR TO START, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO ONE MINUTE WITHOUT IT CUTTING OFF WHILE TURNING CORNER. THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THE CAR STOPPED/SHUT DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE. THE NEXT TIME I WAS ACTUALLY TAKING THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND I DROVE ABOUT 3 MINS BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AND TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND FOR MY CAR TO CONTINUOUSLY STOP WHILE DRIVING IS A HUGE PROBLEM!! I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH FOR IT NOT TO HAVE STOPPED ON A HIGHWAY OR ANYTHING, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!! MY CAR HAS STOPPED WHILE IN DRIVE 5 TIMES IN TWO WEEKS, WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING, AND 3 TIMES WHILE SITTING IDLE. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FIRST, WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TURN A CORNER, I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. AFTER THE TURN, WHEN I PRESS THE GAS I HAVE NO POWER. IT DOESN'T DIE, IT JUST WON'T GO ANYWHERE FOR ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS, NO POWER. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LONG TIME UNLESS YOU ARE SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS, THEN TAKE OFF. SOMETIMES IT GOES, BUT FEELS LIKE IT JERKS INTO GEAR. THAT'S OK AT STOP SIGNS BUT STOP LIGHTS THAT TURN GREEN AS I APPROACH CAN BE DANGEROUS. ALSO, IF I TURN A CORNER ONTO ANOTHER STREET, IT HESITATES. AND SOMETIMES I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. PEOPLE EXPECT YOU TO TURN AND PROCEED. WHEN YOU JUST STOP, THEY MAY NOT. I ALSO NOTICED ONE DAY, WHEN I JUST COAST ON A LEVEL ROAD, MY CAR SOMETIMES ACCELERATES FOR QUITE A WHILE, INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN IMMEDIATELY. I ONCE TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AT 45 MPH AND COASTED ON FLAT ROAD FOR 2.5 MILES. THE LATEST RELATED PROBLEM IS.. SPRING 2013, TWICE, I TURNED A CORNER AND IT JUST DIED. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, IT CRANKED BACK UP. THANKFULLY, I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND NOT A FOUR LANE ROAD. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH PARKING. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES AND PULL INTO PARKING SPOT. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, IT LUNGES FORWARD. OR IF I STOP IN TRAFFIC, SOMETIMES IT LUNGES AFTER IT STOPS. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT I LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM IN FRONT FOR THIS PROBLEM. I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER ALLOWING THE GAS TO FLOW OR STOP. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND IT STILL DOES IT. *TR

SEATS
ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE BACKING I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEE BEHIND ME IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR BE CAUSE THE VIEW IS OBSTRUCTED BY THE 3 REAR SEAT HEADRESTS. I HAVE ALMOST HIT TWO PEOPLE WHO'S HEADS WERE BLOCKED BY THE REAR SEAT HEAD RESTS. I WISH THE HEAD RESTS COULD BE REMOVED BUT THE ARE MOLDED AS PART OF THE REAR SEAT. STUPIDEST REAR SEAT DESIGN I HAVE EVER SEEN. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE TO DIAGNOSE, IT'S MY ACCELERATED PEDAL POSITION, I JUST HAD THIS REPLACED MAYBE 2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE IT DID THE SAME THING, NOW THIS I DON'T THINK SHOULD BE A COMMON THING BUT IT IS, AND AS DANGEROUS AS THIS IS I THINK IT'S MORE OF A DEFECT ON GM'S SIDE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL OR REPLACEMENT FOR FREE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR HAD BEEN SHOWING THE SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS. WHEN I CALLED SOUTHEAST KIA OF SOMERSET, THEY TRIED TO SAY IT WAS THE ACTUALLY BATTERY, KEEP IN MIND, I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR SIX WEEKS. I KNEW THAT IT WASN'T BECAUSE I HAD BEEN HAVING NO PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR WHATSOEVER BEFORE THIS, AND I WAS RAISED AROUND MECHANICS AND TRUCK DRIVERS, I DO KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT CARS. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I HAD THE BATTERY JUMPED THREE TIMES AND IT DIED SITTING THERE, WE FINALLY GOT IT CHARGED SO THAT I COULD DRIVE TO MY MOTHERS, BUT HAD PROBLEMS ON THE WAY THERE. AS I WAS DRIVING, ALL OF MY GAUGES COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING IN MY CAR, AND I THOUGHT THE CAR HAD DIED AND THAT I WAS COASTING. SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITH MY THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR, AND REALIZED THE CAR WAS RUNNING. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, BUT IT KEPT RUNNING. NOW, KIA IS SAYING THAT IF IT'S THE ALTERNATOR IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER A TWO YEAR WARRANTY THAT I HAVE, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO FIX IT BASICALLY. I HAVE BEEN SEVERELY RIPPED OFF, AND NOW ME AND MY CHILDREN ARE WITHOUT A CAR. I THINK IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT CAR LOTS ARE ABLE TO SEND OUT TERRIBLE AND UNRELIABLE CARS TO PEOPLE WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT, AND THEN DON'T WANT TO FIX THINGS. NOW I AM TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR AND LEAVE THIS PIECE OF JUNK ON THEIR LOT, I WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY A CAR AGAIN UNLESS IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 20 MILES ON IT AND IS BRAND NEW, AND WILL DEFINITELY DO MORE RESEARCH ON THE TYPE OF CAR, ALONG WITH THE DEALERSHIP SELLING IT TO ME. AND KIA HAS NOT HEARD THE LAST OF ME AS WELL. *TR

STEERING
SOMETIME IN JANUARY OF 2012, I RECEIVED A NOTICED FROM GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT REPAIRING AND REPLACING THE POWER STEERING HOSES OF MY 2006 CHEVY IMPALA. I TOOK MY IMPALA FOR REPAIRS AT A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER IN APRIL 2012. *TR PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE NOTICED ABOUT THE REPAIRS FROM GENERAL MOTORS, I KEPT HEARING A BUZZING SOUND. THE BUZZING SOUND STOPPED WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR STEERING HOSE REPAIRS AS SUGGESTED BY GENERAL MOTORS. ABOUT TWO DAYS AGO, I STARTED TO HEAR THE SAME BUZZING SOUND. I CALLED THE DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER WHICH MADE THE REPAIRS LIED TO ME ABOUT MAKING THE REPAIRS IN NOVEMBER 2009. CHEVY STATED THEY WOULD NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS. *TR
