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

FIRST OF ALL, I USE MY CAR TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH FROM SCHOOL. I HAVE NOTICED SINCE I CAME HOME, STOPPING AT STOP LIGHTS, MY CAR WOULD CUT OFF AND THEN CUT BACK ON. ALSO, MY RADIO HAS CHANGED STATIONS BY ITSELF. THEN, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. WHEN I TURN ON MY AIR OR HEAT A KNOCKING NOISE COMES FROM MY AIR VENTS AND IT LAST FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT MY CAR WAS ABOUT TO BLOW UP BECAUSE I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS CAUSING THAT. I HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED QUICKLY. *TR
