VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR HIGHWAY SPEED WAS 65MPH, AT THAT RATE OF SPEED MY VEHICLE WAS PICKING UP SPEED AND WHEN I WENT TO PRESS ON MY BRAKES, IT WAS IF I WAS DRIVING ON ICE AND MY CAR WAS SKIDDING. TWO DAYS LATER I STOPPED FOR GAS AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START, AFTER MY 3RD ATTEMPT, IT STUTTERED HARD TIME TURNING OVER. ONCE IT DID I TURNED IT OFF BUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. I DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES. VERY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BACK HOME BECAUSE I'M OUT OF TOWN. MY LIGHTS SAYS I HAVE LOW RIGHT TIRE PRESSURE BUT I DON'T, IT'S BACK LEFT TIRE FOR SOME ODD REASON. *TR

SUSPENSION, TIRES
BOUGHT 2007 IMPALA NEW. HAVE REPLACED REAR TIRES 6 TIMES DUE TO CAMBER ISSUE. IMPALA IS DESIGNED WITH NO ADJUSTMENT FOR CAMBER ON THE REAR SUSPENSION. TIRES WEAR ON THE INSIDE AT A FAST RATE. NOTHING IN THE TRUNK TO CAUSE WEIGHT ISSUES, STANDARD HIGHWAY DRIVING ON A DAILY BASIS. TIRE SOUND IS HORRIBLE AND INCREASES WITH SPEED. FIRST SET OF TIRES REPLACED AT 9,000 MILES. GM RECALLED POLICE MODELS OF THE IMPALA TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT NOT IMPALAS THAT WEREN'T POLICE MODELS. SO GM KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION CAUSING EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR BUT WON'T PERFORM A RECALL. MY WIFE WOULDN'T EVEN DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID TIRES WOULD BLOW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. 6 SETS OF TIRES ON A VEHICLE WITH 90,000 MILES IS ABSURD. I FINALLY HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER SHOP INSTALL AFTERMARKET CAMBER ADJUSTING BOLTS AND GET AN ALIGNMENT TO FIX THE ISSUE. SHOP I DEALT WITH SAYS THEY'VE BEEN PERFORMING THIS REPAIR ON IMPALA'S SINCE MID 2007. $20 FOR THE BOLT KIT AND $80 FOR THE ALIGNMENT. $100 TO FIX AN ISSUE (NOT INCLUDING TIRE REPLACEMENT COSTS) AND GM WON'T OWN UP TO IT. THIS IS A BASIC DESIGN FLAW THAT GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF, WITH NO ACTION BEING TAKEN ON THERE PART. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
1) AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY HAS GONE ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS. I ASKED DEALER ABOUT IT, THEY SAID IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO TRACE THE WIRING HARNESS, REMOVING SEAT AND DASHBOARD. LABOR WOULD BE EXPENSIVE. I COMPLAINED TO GM ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AND WAS GIVEN A CASE#. I WAS TOLD CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEREFORE, IT WOULD BE MY EXPENSE TO HAVE THIS DIAGNOSED AND FIXED. DEALER SAID AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT. FALL 2013. 2) THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING LAST FALL 2013. I HAD TO PAY FOR TOTAL REPAIR AS IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE. IMPALA'S HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE ISSUE. OCT 2013. 3) THE GAS PEDAL FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. DEALER SAID THEY NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE, BUT WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, THEREFORE, ENTIRE COST WAS MINE. SAFETY ISSUE. SEPT 2013 4) THE EVAP VENT VALVE AND SOLENOID HAD TO BE REPLACED. SYSTEM LEAK PRESSURIZED EVAP WOULD NOT HOLD. APR 2012 OTHER ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED/REPAIRED, HOWEVER, DO NOT HAVE PAPERWORK AT TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS ON HIGHWAY ONE EVENING AND MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED. MY POWER WENT OUT COMPLETELY ON THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER GATHERING MY BEARINGS, I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND DRIVE OFF THE FREEWAY. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY OIL WAS LOW (NO WARNING LIGHT). PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, I WAS GOING DOWN HILL ON A LOCAL STREET WHEN MY WARNING SYSTEM CAME ON AND INDICATED THAT I HAD REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION STABILITY CONTROL ISSUES. AFTER GOING TO THE DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY OIL WAS EXTREMELY LOW, HOWEVER NO LEAKS OR CAUSE WAS EVER FOUND. PRIOR TO THIS, I HAD TO GET MY ACCELERATOR SENSOR REPLACED BECAUSE THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING CAME ON. IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD TO PAY SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO 'FIX' THE ISSUE. AS RECENTLY AS YESTERDAY, JUNE 16, 2014, I TURNED MY CAR ON AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF AND CHECKED THE OIL. IT WAS LOW BUT NO WARNING LIGHT TO INDICATE THIS ISSUE CAME ON (SAME AS IN THE PAST). I FAITHFULLY GET MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 3,000 MILES OR 3 MONTHS, WHICHEVER IS FIRST. MY OIL LIFE WAS AT 54% YESTERDAY AND I DID TAKE IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THIS MORNING. IT IS OBVIOUS BASED ON OTHERS EXPERIENCES, THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONGST 2009 IMPALA OWNERS. THE FACT THAT I DID NOT RECEIVE A WARNING WHEN I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE STILL IN MOTION, IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND IT TRAUMATIZED MY SON TREMENDOUSLY. I AM HOPING THAT SOME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION WILL BE INITIATED BECAUSE IT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

ENGINE
I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT AN INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED TO ME ON SATURDAY, JUNE 14TH 2014. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH (I HAVE A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA) WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOT LONG AFTER THAT DID I NOTICE THAT MY ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF AND MY POWER STEERING HAD WENT OUT. COME TO FIND OUT TODAY (6/17/2014), GM HAD AN IGNITION RECALL. SINCE THE SAME EXACT DESCRIPTION HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT IT WAS UNDER THE RECALL. I TRIED TO CALL MY LOCAL DEALER TO GET IT RESOLVED, AND SHOCKINGLY MY CAR DID NOT HAVE A RECALL UNDER IT. I TRIED TO CALL GM DIRECTLY AND TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME BEING THAT MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. MY CONCERN IS THAT GM IS NOT TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL OF THESE INCIDENTS. ITS JUST NOT RIGHT, ITS NOT GOOD BUSINESS ON THEIR BEHALF, AND ITS NOT ETHICAL. IF ANY OF MY DRIVING CONDITIONS HAD BEEN DIFFERENT, I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A LETHAL ACCIDENT. NOT ONLY DOES IT POSE A THREAT TO MYSELF, BUT IF I HAD OTHER PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE AND ALSO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND GM NEEDS TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTS THAT THEY PRODUCED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I TOO AM VERY UPSET WITH THE ISSUE WITH THE DOOR LOCK ISSUE. THE BACK PASSENGER DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOES NOT UNLOCK WITH THE FOB OR THE DOOR UNLOCK CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO PHYSICALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR IS TO RECLINE THE DRIVERS SEAT AND REACH BACK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY THIS IS B.S. I HAVE DONE MUCH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ON THIS SUBJECT AND WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS SO DISTURBING! I WISH CHEVROLET WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE IT RIGHT TO ITS CUSTOMERS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2008 CHEVY IMPALA IN 2009 ABOUT A YR AFTER MY PURCHASE I NOTICED MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH EITHER THE KEYLESS REMOTE OR THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR SINCE THEN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK HAS DID THE SAME THING. BUT THE FINAL STRAW WAS NOW THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR HAS WENT OUT. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND MY FAMILY I HAVE TWO SMALL GRANDBABIES ONE OF THEM WITH CANCER, THAT ARE BOTH IN CARSEATS. IF ANY OF THE DOORS LOCK THEY CANNOT I REPEAT CANNOT BE UNLOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE NOR CAN THEY BE UNLOCKED FROM THE KEYLESS REMOTE OR THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR ONCE THE DOORS ARE LOCKED THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN BE UNLOCKED IS BY TILTING THE SEAT BACK AND MANUALLY UNLOCKING THEM. THIS IS PUTTING MY GRANDCHILDREN IN GRAVE DANGER IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT AND I CANNOT GET TO THEM NO ONE ELSE CAN EITHER UNLESS THEY KNOCK THE WINDOW OUT, WHICH ENDANGERS THE CHILDREN. I DEMAND TO KNOW WHY WHEN IT COMES TO THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN'S LIVES BEING PUT IN DANGER BY A DEFECT OF YOUR PRODUCT THAT YOUR COMPANY IS DRAGGING YOUR FEET ON RECALLING THESE CARS. YOUR RECALLING MILLIONS OF CARS FOR THIS DEFECT AND THAT DEFECT BUT YOUR # 1 PRIORITY SHOULD BE TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN THAT CANT PROTECT THEMSELVES. AND ALL US PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS ARE AT OUR WITS END. WE BOUGHT YOUR PRODUCT IN GOOD FAITH NOW ITS TIME FOR YOUR COMPANY TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT RECALL ALL THESE -2008- AND OTHER CHEVY IMPALAS FOR FAULTY DOOR ACTUATORS BEFORE CHILDREN GET HURT OR GOD FORBID KILLED . VERY WORRIED AND UNHAPPY GRANDMOTHER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
CLIMBING UP ALPOWA GRADE ON HIGHWAY 12 IN WASHINGTON STATE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" CAME ON IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW. APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES LATER, BEYOND DODGE JUNCTION AND BEFORE STARBUCK TURNOFF, THERE WAS ANOTHER MESSAGE FLASHED IN THE ODOMETER WINDOW, "IGNITION SWITCH DISABLED. SERVICE ENGINE" THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, AND THE POWER STEERING BECAME SUPER SLUGGISH. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN, AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT THIS POINT WHEN WE GOT THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. WHEN WE REACHED WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON, WE STOPPED AT O'REILYS AUTO PARTS, HAD ONE OF THE PARTS SPECIALISTS COME OUT AND CHECK WHAT THE CODE WAS ON THE COMPUTER, AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR THAT IS DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A PILOT CAR ESCORT VEHICLE, MAKING THE HAZARD EVEN MORE DANGEROUS, BECAUSE HAD I BEEN TRAVELING WITH AN OVERSIZED LOAD, I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE SEMI PULLING THE LOAD, OR I COULD HAVE IMPACTED THE REAR OF THE LOAD, DEPENDING IF I WERE FOLLOWING OR LEADING. ALSO, HAD THAT HAPPENED WHILE ON A JOB, THE LOAD WOULD HAVE HAD TO STOP UNTIL ANOTHER PILOT CAR ESCORT VEHICLE COULD ARRIVE TO CONTINUE WITH THE LOAD. THIS IS A DANGEROUS THING TO HAVE SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING IN AREAS THAT ARE NOT STRAIGHT. UNABLE TO CONTROL STEERING, BRAKES LESS THAN RESPONSIVE, AND POSSIBLE HAZARDS OF VEHICLES ONCOMING OR FOLLOWING US COULD BECOME IMPACT HAZARDS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE CAR STARTED JERKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MESSAGE PANEL SAID THAT THE STABILITRAC NEEDED SERVICE AND THAT ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL NEEDED SERVICE. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE CAR I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING SIMPLE AND FIXED IT. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY WORSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 40 MPH. THE CAR IS JERKING AND I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE THIS. THERE REALLY NEEDS GO BE SOMETHING DONE TO HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. *JS

SECURITY SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO START THE ENGINE, YOU TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING HAPPENS, THE SECURITY LIGHT BLINKS FOR 10 MINUTES. IF YOU DO NOTHING AFTER THE LIGHT STOPS BLINKING YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO START ENGINE, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LET IT CYCLE 2 OR 3 TIMES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY WIFE AS SHE GETS OUT OF WORK AT 9:30 PM AND IS ALONE IN A PARKING LOT. CHEVROLET KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING AS THERE HAVE BEEN NO DEATHS BECAUSE OF THIS. *JS
