VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT TIMES. SECURITY SYSTEM THINKS YOU'RE STEALING THE CAR. YOU HAVE TO WAIT TEN OR SO MINUTES TILL THE BYPASS SECURITY SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF LEAVING YOU STRANDED TILL YOU GET A RESTART. WORN CONTACTS ON THE IGNITION SWITCH ARE NOT RECOGNIZING YOUR KEY. HAD IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON ON GM CARS '99 TO '05. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
3.4LTR 6CYL BASE MODEL HAS HAD MULTIPLE DEFECTIVE SENSATIONS FOR SOME TIME NOW; AMONG THOSE ARE STEERING, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FROM A STANDING STOP, BRAKING AND ODD NOISES. THIS VEHICLE'S 5 Y/O WITH ONLY 20K MI, OWNED BY ELDERS & USED LOCALLY, I'VE BEEN DRIVING THEM, & NOW I HAVE THIS CAR. THE LEFT OUTTER TIE ROD END HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH LESS THAN 20K MI. THE STEERING STILL HAS AN UNSTABLE FEEL WHEN TURNING AND MAKE A METAL TO METAL CLINKING NOISE FROM A DEFECTIVE (& AS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC & NHTSA REPORTS, REPEATEDLY REPORTED) INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. THERE SHOULD BE A TOTAL RECALL BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE GM ENGINEERING PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO A CLINKING NOISE OCCASIONALLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STANDING STOP; CAN NOT TELL IF THIS DEFECT IS FROM THE STEERING OR SOMETHING ELSE LIKE THE ENGINE MOUNTS. HAVE NOT YET DISCOVERED THIS SOURCE. FROM A STANDING STOP, THE TRANSMISSION WILL OCCASIONALLY SHIFT ABRUPTLY, EITHER FROM A NEUTRAL DISPOSITION INTO 1ST GEAR OR FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR; THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD & THE OCCUPANTS HEADS ARE WHIPPED BACK. THIS IS SIMILAR TO OTHER REPORTS OF DEFECTIVE POWER TRAIN FUNCTIONALITY I'VE READ ABOUT WITH THIS MODEL. BRAKING, WHEN JUST STARTING A TRIP, HAS AN IMPROPER FEEL AND SOMETIMES SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GRINDING, AS IF THE BRAKE PADS OR ROTORS ARE CRACKED/WORN; THIS IS A SENSATION I'VE HAD WITH VEHICLES HAVING 100,000 MILES, NOT ON A CAR LIKE THIS WITH ONLY 20K MILES. THE CENTER ARM REST'S PAD SUPPORT IS FLIMSY/CHEAP PLASTIC & HAS BROKEN SIMPLY UPON ENTERING & SHIFTING IN THE SEAT. I NOW SEE WHY SO MANY POLICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE DISCONTINUED THE IMPALA'S IN FAVOR OF THE CHARGER'S, CROWN VIC'S, TAURUS'S AND ESCAPES. THE US GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE SEVERELY FINING GM FOR MARKETING THIS CAR. >>>THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR MANY REASONS<<<

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2001 IMPALA'S RIGHT REAR TURN AND BRAKE LIGHT STOP WORKING. I CHECKED FOR VOLTAGE AT THE RIGHT REAR LIGHT. NO VOLTAGE WAS PRESENT BUT I HAD A GOOD GROUND. I STARTED TO CHECK THE HARNESS BACK TRACKING THE CIRCUIT TO THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, THE HARNESS WAS GOOD. I REMOVED THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH AND NOTICED A LOT OF GREASE FROM THE COLUMN. I CLEANED THE SWITCH AND ASSEMBLED IT BACK TOGETHER. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO AND ONCE AGAIN THE RR TURN SIGNAL STOP WORKING. I PRICED A SWITCH FOR MY IMPALA FROM MY LOCAL PARTS DEALER, IT WAS OVER $300. I RESEARCHED TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WAS SURPRISED ON HOW MANY INCIDENTS WERE REPORTED. I THINK GM NEED TO BACK UP THEIR CARS AND CONSIDER THIS AS A SAFETY RECALL.

TIRES
CAR PURCHASED USED WITH NEW TIRES IN MARCH OF 2009. IN APRIL OF 2010 REAR TIRES HAD SEVERE WEAR ON INSIDE TREAD THAT CAUSED BELTS TO SHOW. FOUR NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED AND A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. 11 MONTHS LATER REAR TIRES SHOWED THE SAME WEAR, INSIDE OF TIRE. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A SAFETY BULLETIN FROM GM BUT DIDN'T COVER MY CAR SINCE IT WAS NOT A POLICE VERSION. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS COME OUT WITH A CAMBER KIT TO FIX PROBLEM BUT I HAD TO PURCHASE IT AND HAVE IT INSTALLED. WHEN ASKED WHY IF IT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE CAUSING PREMATURE TIRE WEAR I WAS HAVING TO PAY FOR IT WAS BRUSHED OFF. CALLED CHEVROLET AND FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT REGARDING THE MATTER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. CHEVY KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR/FIX PROBLEM AND IS INSTEAD PUSHING THIS OFF ON THE CONSUMER. EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DROPPING SLOWLY WHICH IT CONTINUED TO DO UNTIL IT RESTED AT ZERO. I CONTINUED DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC (65 MPH) AND ALL THE WHILE THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUED TO REGISTER "0." I PANICKED AND IF I HAD NOT BEEN USING A GPS NAVIGATOR THAT TOLD ME WHAT RATE OF SPEED I WAS TRAVELLING AT, GOD KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN ON SEVERAL BLOGS AND SEE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON IN THE 2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA. CHEVROLET SHOULD INSTITUTE A RECALL AS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND IS ALSO COSTLY TO REPAIR. IT SEEMS TO AFFLICT ALL THE MODELS AT AROUND 40,000 MILES. AFTER I STOPPED TO GET GASOLINE, AND FILLED UP THE TANK, THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO CORRECT ITSELF, BUT ACCORDING TO THE BLOGS WITH OTHER OWNER COMMENTS, I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT NOTICE. PLEASE SEE THAT CHEVROLET RECALLS THIS MODEL AND MAKES THE REPAIR AT NO CHARGE. THANK YOU.
