EXTERIOR LIGHTING
JUST RECENTLY MY 2000 IMPALA BEGAN TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS WHEN I USED MY BLINKERS. IT FIRST BEGAN WHEN I JUST USED THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE CLUSTER CAME ON AND THE ALARM SOUND OF THE KEY BEING LEFT IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE SWITCH WOULD BE OFF, YET THE ENGINE WOULD BE RUNNING. LATER IT BEGAN TO STALL THE ENGINE. THEN LATER IT BEGAN DOING ALL OF THIS USING EITHER TURN SIGNAL. I HAVE BOUGHT EACH AND REPLACED THEM EVEN TO REPLACING THE CLUSTER AS NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND WHAT IS CAUSING ALL OF THIS. I COULD REALLY USE SOME HELP IN GETTING TO ROOT OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM A GREAT-GRANDMOTHER AND AM SCARED TO RIDE THEM IN MY CAR. THIS HAS NOW BEGAN HAPPENING EVERY TIME I USE THE TURN SIGNAL. GOOD THING I LEARNED THE HAND SIGNALS. I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL CHEVROLET PERSON, I WOULD REALLY HATE TO HAVE TO GO TO ANOTHER MAKE. *TR

VISIBILITY
OWN 2007 CHEVY IMPALA. BESIDES OTHER PROBLEMS, OUR FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED MAKING A BAD SCREECHING NOISE ABOUT MIDWAY DOWN. WE TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY LOOKED AT IT, SAID IT WAS JUST DIRTY! CONTINUED ON, ANOTHER YEAR PASSES, STILL MAKING NOISE FINALLY I MAKE MY HUSBAND TAKE IT TO THEM AND TO FIX IT. THEY DID NOT TELL US WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT MUST OF DONE SOMETHING CAUSE IT HASN'T MADE THE NOISE SINCE. WE TOOK IT IN FOR OTHER PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME AS WELL. HOWEVER, IT HAS SCRATCHES ON THE WINDOW FROM WHERE IT WAS PUTTING PRESSURE FROM WHATEVER THAT NOISE CAME FROM, EITHER OFF TRACK OR WHATEVER, IT SCRATCHED THE WINDOW PERMANENTLY. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 CHEVY IMPALA BRAND NEW JANUARY 07. SINCE THEN WITHIN A YEAR WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED 2 TIRES THAT WERE BARE ON THE OUTSIDE PART OF THE TIRE. THE TIRE MONITOR SERVICE ALWAYS POPS ON THE DISPLAY SAYING TIRE PRESSURE OFF ALMOST DAILY. WE'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO OUR CHEVY DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR THEM TO CHECK. THEY HAVE RE-SET THIS MONITORING THING SEVERAL TIMES, RE-ALIGNED THE CAR, REPLACED 2 TIRES (AT OUR EXPENSE). RIGHT AFTER THIS LAST TIME WE TOOK IT IN, THE NEXT DAY THE WARNING POPPED UP SAYING RIGHT REAR TIRE PRESSURE WAS AT 58!, I THOUGHT MY TIRE WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. PARKED IT TO GO INTO BUSINESS, WITHIN ABOUT 20 MIN CAME OUT AND STARTED AND TIRE WAS NORMAL? SEVERAL TIMES THE LIGHT FLASHES "TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM SERVICE SOON" IT RIDES VERY BUMPY EVEN AFTER REPLACING BAD TIRES AND RE-ALIGNING. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR IN OVER AND OVER AND STILL NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I'M SORRY BUT THIS IS ONE OUT OF SEVERAL GM VEHICLES WE'VE HAD, AND GM IS TERRIBLE AT TAKING CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN IT COMES TO PROBLEMS. THIS CAR HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT, WARRANTY ENDING SOON, WE ARE NOW TRYING TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS ALREADY WITH THE TIRES, ETC. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AND CONSTANTLY THE TIRE MONITOR FLASHES PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY, THEN SHUT IT OFF, SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE, NOR DO I FEEL THIS IS A RELIABLE VEHICLE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. *TR

2002 CHEVY IMPALA 3.8L PURCHASED USED IN DEC. 2004 W/ 65,000 MILES. WHERE TO BEGIN... FLOODING IN FLOORBOARDS DUE TO CLOG UNDERNEATH WINDSHIELD, THREE SETS OF ROTORS/BRAKES, CLUNKY NOISE IN STEERING SHAFT (REPLACED TWICE BY DEALERSHIP) STILL HAVING SAME PROBLEM, CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED AFTER DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE ME NEARLY $1000 TO REPLACE; COVERED BY GM AS HARRY GREEN CHEVROLET WAS 'UNAWARE' OF REPLACEMENT POLICY?!? NEW STRUTS, NUMEROUS ALIGNMENTS/BALANCES B/C VEHICLE STILL SHAKES AND SHIMMYS AT 60-65 MPH; MUST DRIVE ABOUT 75-80 MPH JUST TO KEEP THIS TO A MINIMUM! BCM REPLACED TWICE BY DEALER, SECURITY ISSUES WON'T ALLOW CAR TO START FOR 15 MINS. EACH TIME, WHICH IS VERY INCONVENIENT. SOOO MANY PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS WITH THESE 'QUALITY' GM VEHICLES, AND YET THEY DO NOTHING TO RESOLVE THEM, EXCEPT HOLD OUT THEIR HANDS WANTING MORE $$$ FROM AMERICAN TAXPAYERS TO KEEP ON MAKING JUNK! AND NOW THE NEWEST OF A LONG LINE OF RECALLS/PROBLEMS IS THAT THERE IS A FIRE HAZARD FOR LEAKING OIL ON THE MANIFOLD! ALL OF THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED DUE TO THE NUMEROUS SAFETY CONCERNS AND CONSUMERS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF GENERAL MOTORS OBVIOUS DISREGARD FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA SPEEDOMETER WENT ERRATIC AT ~ 65,000 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER THEN FAILED. DEALER STATED IT IS A FAILED A STEPPER MOTOR AND WILL REQUIRE ~ $500 FOR REPAIR. HAVING THE SPEEDOMETER FAIL CAUSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO VEHICLE SPEED IS UNKNOWN. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
IN THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS, MY VEHICLE HAS BEGAN TO LOSE POWER, ESPECIALLY IN LOW RPM RANGE. THE VEHICLE SPITS ON SPUTTERS ON HARD ACCELERATION AND TAKES SEVERAL (30 OR BETTER) SECONDS TO REACH 55 MPH. I AM AN ASE TRAINED MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS HAVING A FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. A VACUUM TEST DETERMINED THAT THE PRESSURE DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE 2500 RPM'S AND TO 0 BY 4000 (WHEN IT MISFIRES). THE CAT MAKES NOISE AND EVEN JUMPED THE HANGER (TELLING ME THE CONVERTER IS TWISTING FROM THE BACK PRESSURE). ONCE I DIAGNOSED IT, I LOOKED AT A LIST OF GM TSB'S FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THIS WAS LISTED ON THERE ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO THE DEALER / TECH TO REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE UNTIL THE SERVICE LIFE HAS REACHED 10 YEARS OR 120K. MY VEHICLE FITS BOTH CONDITIONS AS IT IS A 2003 WITH 99K. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT FREE AS THE WARRANTY ON EMISSIONS ITEMS IS 80K. WHEN I EVEN GAVE THEM THE TSB NUMBER (SPECIAL POLICY ADJUSTMENT - CATALYTIC CONVERTER # 05551 - (9/14/05)) THEY SAID THAT WAS JUST IN THE CASE OF PLENUM DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE CLOGGED CONVERTER. DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT IN NO WAY EVEN MENTIONS THE PLENUM. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I CURRENTLY OWN AND I HAVE BEEN OUT OF WORK FOR A WHILE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT, NOR TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TIED UP FOR DAYS TO DO A 2 HOUR JOB. HOWEVER, IF IT CONTINUES, IT WILL BLOW UP. HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET FAILURE, ENGINE COOLANT LIGHT WILL COME ON WHICH IS PRELUDE THAT COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE OIL. MOST ALL PEOPLE WILL NOT EVEN KNOW THIS. GM USED A PLASTIC GASKET AND IF YOU CHECK WITH ANY REPAIR SHOP/GM SERVICE GARAGE THEY WILL ALL TELL YOU THE SAME, THE PLASTIC GASKET JUST DETERIORATES, WITH ANY MILEAGE FROM 60K TO 90K AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS FROM $795 TO $995 PLUS TAX AND GARAGE SURCHARGES IE SOME CHARGE CLEAN UP AND ADD ONS SUCH AS COST OF TOWELS AND CLEANERS ETC. I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL REPAIR PROFESSIONALS THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM THEY KNOW AS SOON AS A IMPALA ROLLS THROUGH THE DOOR, EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. ""I BELIEVE GM SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR USING A DEFECTIVE PART AS NO OTHER VEHICLES HAVE SUCH POOR FAILURE RATE, NOR HAVE I EVER IN MY 58 YEARS OF LIVE AND OWNERSHIP OF 15 CARS/TRUCKS EVER HAD TO REPLACE AN INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET BECAUSE OF DETERIORATION. JUST SEARCH THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL FIND A MILLION PEOPLE OF THE SAME ISSUE. IF THEY KNEW WHERE TO COMPLAIN, I AM SURE YOU WOULD BE SWAMPED. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO HELP ALL OF THE OWNERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ASSISTANCE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 CHEVY IMPALA HAS A MALFUNCTIONING "PASSLOCK" SYSTEM. THE IGNITION WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO START THE CAR AT TIMES - VERY FRUSTRATING. YOU MUST WAIT FOR IT TO RESET ITSELF, WHICH SOMETIMES TAKES A HALF HOUR, I KNOW MANY OTHER IMPALA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
BRAKES HAD TO BE FIXED THREE TIMES UNDER A DEFECT. NO NOTICE WAS RECEIVED BY DEALER. A LOCAL DEALER LET ME KNOW TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO DEALER TO BE FIXED. BY THE LAST TIME THE BRAKES WERE FIXED, WARRANTY WAS OUT. BRAKES SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED FOR FREE DUE TO DEFECT IN ROTORS. NOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING AND NO SAFETY RECALL NOTICE HAS BEEN RECEIVED, BUT READ ABOUT IT ONLINE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I BOUGHT A 2003 CHEVROLET IMPALA ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. ON VALENTINES DAY I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A FUNERAL, THE NEXT THING I KNOW MY THEN BOYFRIEND NOW HUSBAND TOLD ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THE WHOLE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. I AM GRATEFUL THAT WE GOT MY THEN FIVE MONTH OLD DAUGHTER OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAD NO IDEA THAT COULD HAPPEN. MY FATHER CALLED AND INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOW A RECALL ON THAT MODEL CAR. THE CAR BURNT COMPLETELY. ON THE RECALL MY FATHER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS FOR 3.8 LITER. I DO NOT BELIEVE MINE WAS A 3.8 LITER BUT MY VEHICLE WAS A V6. IT WAS EITHER A 3.4 OR A 3.6 LITER. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. I LOST EVERYTHING IN THAT VEHICLE. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. THE POLICE WERE NOT CONTACTED BUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS PRESENT TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY 02 IMPALA LATE 07 USED, IT HAD APPROX. 30K MILES. ABOUT 60K MILES IT STARTED TO HARD SHIFT, THEN STARTED OVERHEATING. IT WOULD ONLY HARD SHIFT WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE, 1ST AND 2ND EVERY NOW AND THEN AND AS THE TIME HAS GONE ON ITS DOING IT MORE AND MORE, AND SHIFTING EVEN HARDER, I CALLED A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TOUGH. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD IN MY CAR WITH ME AT ALL TIMES AND THIS ISSUE IS NOT SAFE. OTHER THAN THIS I LOVE THE CAR. ITS GREAT ON GAS AND ALL AROUND WONDERFUL, I AM JUST VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT TO AAMCO AND THEY SAID ITS GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON, HARD SHIFT AND LONG SHIFT. AND THEY SAID THAT IF I KEEP DRIVING IT I WILL BE DOING MAJOR HARM TO THE TRANNY. I CANT AFFORD THIS AND IT SEEMS AS IF I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW 1 OTHER PERSON THAT HAS AN 04 IMPALA AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) CAUSED MY 01 IMPALA TO DO SOME CRAZY THINGS. IT STARTED WITH TURN SIGNALS INTERMITTENTLY WORKING. MY WIFE AND I WERE IN SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OTHER DRIVERS COULD NOT TELL WHAT WE WERE DOING. THEN IT PROGRESSED TO EACH TIME THAT I APPLIED THE BREAKS THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLASH FROM HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. IT DISTRACTED THE DRIVERS IN FRONT OF ME WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. ON MANY OCCASIONS IT CAUSED THE ENTIRE DASH INSTRUMENTATION TO FAIL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SPEEDOMETER. THE MESSAGE CENTER WOULD GIVE ME FALSE INDICATIONS OF REQUIRED MAINTENANCE AND LOW TIRE PRESSURE. TWICE IT LOCKED THE CAR OUT ON "SECURITY" THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO INTERMITTENTLY START. AFTER ABOUT 10MINUTES THE VEHICLE TYPICALLY STARTED BACKUP AGAIN. ONCE, THE VEHICLE LEFT THE HEADLIGHTS ON AFTER VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO KEEP IT FROMDRAINING THE BATTERY. AGAIN, AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES IT WOULD ALLOW SOMETHING TO RESET AND ALL WOULD BE FINE. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THE MAKE AND MODEL I TOOK IT TOA GM DEALER LEADING THEM TOWARDS THE BCM. I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY AN EXUBERANT AMOUNT OF MONEY FORTHEM TO CHASE AN "ELECTRICAL GHOST". AFTER $500 THEY REPLACED THE BCM AND THE VEHICLE RAN PERFECT FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS AND NOW THE TURN SIGNALS ARE INTERMITTENT ONCE AGAIN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
2004 IMPALA SPEEDOMETER NOT FUNCTIONING. WITH VARYING SPEED LIMITS THROUGHOUT THE CITY I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND PREVENTS A DRIVER FROM BEING IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW. WIFE DRIVES A LOT ON HER JOB AND WOULD NOT LIKE FOR HER TO BE DRIVING TOO FAST FOR ROAD CONDITIONS. ONE CANNOT RELY ON OTHER DRIVERS TO DICTATE ONES SPEED. SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. INFORMATION TELLS ME THAT THE '04 TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM WERE FIXED BY GM COMPANY AND THE CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT ARE NOT BEING REPAIRED BY GM. THE RATIO OF COMPLAINTS TO THIS PROBLEM COMPARED TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL TELL ME THAT GM SHOULD ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BEFORE THERE ARE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES INVOLVING THE INABILITY OF A DRIVER OF A 2004 IMPALA TO DETERMINE THEIR SPEED AND POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

WE HAVE A 2002 CHEVY IMPALA. THE SECURITY LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. IT WILL NOT RESTART FOR ABOUT 10 TO 20 MINUTES. THIS USED TO HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY BUT NOW IT'S HAPPENING ATLEAST 3 TO 5 TIMES A MONTH. HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAY IT HAS TO ACTUALLY BE DOING IT WHILE THEY ARE CHECKING IT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT'S DOING THIS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING NOW FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP. *TR

JUST DRIVING NORMALLY TO AND FROM WORK THE SPEEDOMETER WILL STOP WORKING NOT ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO BE ABLE TO TELL HOW FAST THEY ARE GOING. EVEN AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT DISPLAY THE PROPER SPEED THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING.
