VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OUR IMPALA HAS HAD A PROBLEM WHERE IT HESITATES AND STUMBLES WHEN YOU TRY AND ACCELERATE SINCE IT WAS NEW. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE. THIS A HAZARD! I THINK WE SHOULD GET OUR MONEY BACK BUT THEY KEEP GIVING US THE RUN AROUND "YOU BOUGHT AND NOW IT'S YOURS". I THINK THAT STINKS! I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM ON YOUR WEB SITE, CAN'T YOU GUYS CONTACT GM AND DEMAND THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE CAR HESITATES WHEN PULLING OUT ESPECIALLY AFTER IT HAS SET FOR AN HOUR AFTER IT WAS PARKED FOR THAT LENGTH OF TIME. IT HAS A MISS AT TIMES. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE DEALER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THIS PROBLEM 5 TIMES NOW. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS AND STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE CAR HAS A MISS WHEN ACCELERATING, ALSO WHEN PULLING OUT THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO IMMEDIATLY AND THEN TAKES OFF. AS STATED WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL OCCUR. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN ON 1/17/01 PULLING OUT OF MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE CAR HESITATED AS I PULLED OUT INTO THE ROADWAY AND IT FAILED TO GO RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.*AK
