REDUCE ENGINE POWER. CODE P2138

HAD ISSUES WITH MY 2007 IMPALA 3.9L STALLING AND REDUCING POWER ON MY WIFE, AND AT TIMES ALMOST LEAVING HER IN OR ON THE ROAD. I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, THROTTLE PEDDLE ( TWICE ) AND HAD THE CAR FLASHED AT THE LOCAL GM DEALER. NOW THE CAR NOT ONLY READS REDUCED ENGINE POWER IT READ STARTING DISABLED SERVICE THROTTLE AND DIED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR.. CAUSING HER TO ALMOST BE INVOLVED IN A BAD WRECK. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO HAVE ATTENTION OF WHOEVER AT GM IS OVER SAFETY, CAUSE THIS ISSUE WILL END UP IN A REALLY BAD SITUATION IF OR WHEN SOMEONE ENDS UP SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. I MEAN YOU REALLY NEED TO PROGRAM THEM TO SLOWLY REDUCE POWER, NOT JUST TELL YOU THEN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND HAVE THE DRIVER FIGHT AND PANIC TO GET OFF THE ROAD THROUGH TRAFFIC, WHILE NOT GETTING RUN OVER IN THE PROCESS. BUT IF THERE IS A FIX WE NEED TO KNOW.

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING OVER 40MPH. THE DRIVER SWERVED TO MISS A DOG IN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE ROLLED AND LANDED ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED AND THE DRIVER WAS SEEN AT THE ER FOR CERVICAL AND LEFT SIDED PAIN.

COOLANT CROSSOVER PIPE GASKETS ROTTED AWAY AND HEAT QUIT WORKING LEAVING MY WIFE AND KIDS TO FREEZE IN THE WINTER.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY IMPALA IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT 25 MPH, AND WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE BADLY WITH THE CODE "ENGINE LOSING POWER." LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF. BEING 68 YEARS OLD, I GOT EXTREMELY SCARED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TRIED CALLING 2 OF MY CHILDREN TO HELP ME. NOT BEING ABLE TO GET EITHER ONE OF THEM. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, AND PROCEEDED BACK HOME WHICH WAS ONLY ABOUT A HALF MILE FROM MY HOUSE. I CALLED THE PREVIOUS OWNER, AND SHE STATED THAT HAD HAPPENED TO HER ABOUT 6 MONTHS PRIOR. NOW I AM TERRIFIED TO TAKE IT OUT ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD BEEN GARAGED KEPT. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME REGARDING WHY THIS MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SLIPPING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND THEN STALLED GOT BUMPED LUCKY NOT FAST SPEED LEAVING FROM RED LIGHT

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT LATCH MALFUNCTIONING. BUCKLE WILL NOT INSERT PROPERLY. THIS IS THE SECOND IMPALA MY FAMILY HAD THAT HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS A SPRING CLIP OF METAL COMES OUT OR BREAKS OFF INHIBITING THE INSERTION OF THE BUCKLE.THE FIRST 2 IMAGES ARE OF THE DEFECTIVE BUCKLE. THE THIRD IMAGE IS OF A WORKING PROPERLY BUCKLE( PASSENGER SIDE)

EVERY DAY WHEN IT IS THE FIRST TIME TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR THE DAY, I HAVE TROUBLE GETTING THE DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT TO LATCH. IT DOES NOT LATCH FOR MY FIRST ATTEMPT. BUT IT MAY TAKE A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY DOES. I HAVE BEEN VERY CONCERNED THAT AT SOME POINT IT WILL NOT LATCH AT ALL OR THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO UNLATCH IT. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE SEATBELT. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME SO THIS IS A CONCERN FOR ME. MY HUSBAND PURCHASED A DEVISE TO CUT THE BELT IF NECESSARY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS SITUATION CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS FOR THE DRIVER OF THE CAR.

'ENGINE POWER REDUCED', APPEARING AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS STUTTERING AND BECOMING UNDRIVABLE.

CAR RANDOMLY DISPLAYS REDUCED ENGINE POWER. ON INTERSTATE REDUCED DOWN TO 20MPH COULD HAVE GOTTEN MY FAMILY KILLED. RESEARCHED ONLINE ALOT OF IMAPALA HAVING SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY IMPALA, 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL, A REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, BEING AS WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY TO SUDDENLY ONLY BEING ABLE TO GO 20MPH WAS VERY FRIGHTENING!! I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. AFTER SEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE I FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS SAME CAR. I FIND IT STRANGE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS DUE TO IT BEING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER CALLING A CHEVY DEALER, THEY TOLD ME ALL THEY COULD DO IS HOOK IT UP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS BUT IT WOULD COST 175.00 JUST TO DO THAT. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL PARKED AND WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT AND STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT AGAIN FOR FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AND US MAYBE NOT BEING AS LUCKY NEXT TIME!!!! SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. SIMPLY TYPE IN 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE!!!!

VEHICLE IN MOTION AT 70 MILES PER HOUR, VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKING, AND NEARLY CAUSING A FATAL COLLISION ON A HIGHWAY OVERPASS. ERRORS ON DASH STATED THROTTLE DISABLED STOP ENGINE, OIL PRESSURE LOW ENGINE POWER REDUCED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THERE WAS A RECALL (EXPIRED?) FOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR DUE TO FAULTY SOLDERING.

TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM....WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND POWER TO THE ENGINE IS REDUCED...AFTER CAR IS OFF ND SITS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, THE WANING SIGNS ARE OFF AND CAR IS AT FULL POWER FOR AAPROXIMATLY 3 TO 10 MILES, THEN I HAPPENS AGAIN....

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AS A USED AUTO ON JAN 24, 2012, I HAVE HAD 10 INCIDENTS OF TIRE PROBLEMS, AS LOW AIR, FLAT TIRE, ETC CAUSED BY WHEEL RIMS CORRODING CAUSING BEADS ON RIM AND NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE; HAVE REPLACED 30 LUG NUTS; AND GROUND RIMS APPROX 12 TIMES. AM TOLD THAT THE RAPID DETERIORATION OF THE RIMS TO CORROSION IS DUE TO ROAD SALT MIX USED ON LOCAL AND INTERSTATE ROADS. APPEARS THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR THIS AREA; FEAR IS WHEN A TIRE GOES, IT COULD BE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ALSO HAVE DISCOVERED THE ALUMINUM BODIES OF THE CARS ARE RUSTING MUCH QUICKER. MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS TODAY

WHEN TURNED CAR ON WIPERS DID NOT WORK, THEY WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND WORK BEFORE THEY COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND DO NOT TURN ON AT ALL. CHANGED THE WIPER MOTOR AND THE WIPER SWITCH AND THEY STILL DO NOT WORK. I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE WORKING WIPERS ON MY CAR. PEP BOYS WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRACTION ALERT CAME ON THE MESSAGE STATES THE ENGINE IS SLOWING DOWN AND TOOK IT TO O'REILY'S AND STATES THE SENSOR CODES ALERTS THAT WILL CAUSE MY CAR TO FAIL BY SHUTTING DOWN AND LOCKING UP IF ITS NOT CORRECTED AND TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY RECALLS ON THIS MALFUNCTION

TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR AND REPLACED THE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. I CONTACTED CHEVY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT AND WAS TOLD IT'S A COMMON OCCURRENCE. IMPALAS HAVE A THROTTLE SENSOR INSTEAD OF CABLE. IF THE SENSOR GOES OUT, THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED TO PROTECT THE ENGINE INTEGRITY. IN SOME CASES, IT'S REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY. THE MANUFACTURE NOTED MY CONCERN BUT THE REP WOULD NOT ESCALATE THE MATTER. I WENT ONLINE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THERE IS A CHEVY FORUM WITH SIMILAR CONCERNS. GENERAL MOTOR REPS REPLY WITH COMMON RESPONSES TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED MECHANIC AND THEIR CONCERN HAS BEEN NOTED.

SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL ENGINE POWER REDUCED DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT DROPPED THE SPEED FROM 75 TO 40 IN MATTER OF MINUTES MY FAMILY ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A SEMI THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT

"SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THEN "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" ALTERNATING ON DASH OFTEN, WHILE DRIVING. MY MECHANIC COULD ONLY DIAGNOSE THE THROTTLE PEDAL SENSOR WAS GOING OUT. HE REPLACED THE PEDAL. TWICE, IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. ALL MECHANICS SAY I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP, I HAVE A FEELING THIS IS A RIP-OFF.

DASH SAYS "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" THEN "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC. HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND WHAT CAME UP WAS I NEEDED A "THROTTLE SENSOR", WHICH MEANT REPLACING THE GAS PEDAL. HE DID THIS. THAT DIDN'T WORK SO HE RE-DID THE PEDAL. STILL GETTING THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE, WITH REDUCED ENGINE POWER, THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM, NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NOW THE BIG PROBLEM IS- I HAVE TO GO TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SERVICE AND PAY 150 BUCKS JUST FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. WHICH DOESN'T EVEN GO TOWARD SOLVING THE PROBLEM.

WHEN MY CAR IS IN MOTION IN THE STREET, TURNING, BRAKING AND DRIVING SLOW MY TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON AND SAYS REDUCE ENGINE SPEED AND THE LIGHT FOR MY ENGINE COMES ON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND I DONT HAVE ANY INVOICES, ANY POLICE REPORTS NOR ANY INSURANCE CLAIMS

MY CAR STARTED HAVING THE TRACTION CONTROL COME ON ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WAS CRACKED-CHEVROLET SAID NOT THEIR FAULT, SO, I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THEN, IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS. IT STOPPED. THEN, STARTED UP AGAIN. TOOK TO THE CHEVROLET GARAGE WHO PUT IT ON THEIR TOTAL DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. TOLD I NEED BOTH BEARINGS ON THE FRONT. AT A $972.00 PRICE TAG FOR THIS, I BOUGHT THE BEARINGS AND HAD ANOTHER GARAGE PUT THEM ON AT A GREAT REDUCTION IN COST TO ME ON LABOR. NOW, IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. THE WHEEL SENSORS APPEAR TO BE FINE. NOW I NOTICE IT IS DOING IT A LOT MORE AND STARTING TO DO IT WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT CERTAIN TIMES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, AND, FOR ITS AGE, IT DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 60,000 MILES ON IT. (THE DATE THAT THAT I AM USING IN THE NEXT STEP HERE IT BEGAN IS THE DATE WHEN IT REALLY STARTED DOING ITS 'TRICKS' A LOT MORE).

MY ISSUE STARTED WITH MY CAR TURNING OVER. IT WOULD NOT WANT TO START FIRST TRY BUT WOULD TURN OVER ON THE SECOND. SOME TIMES IT WOULD START FINE AND OTHERS IT HESITATED. AFTER DEALING WITH THIS FOR A WHILE MY BATTERY DIED AFTER SPENDING A LITTLE WHILE IDLING. TOOK IT TO CHECK THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BATTERY BUT BOTH WERE FINE. CONTINUING TO INTERMITTENTLY ACT UP WHEN STARTING, IT ALSO STARTED TO SHOW OTHER PROBLEMS. I WAS GETTING IN MY CAR TO LEAVE AND IT STARTED UP FINE BUT BEFORE I COULD PULL OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND SHOWING AN "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" MESSAGE. I TURNED IT OFF RAN INSIDE AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT TO SHOW OTHERS THE ISSUE IT STARTED WITHOUT A PROBLEM AND DID NOT HAVE THE MESSAGE ANY MORE. STILL HAVE THE TURNOVER HESITATION, I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT HOWEVER IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHOW THE SAME ENGINE POWER REDUCED MESSAGE AS I PULLED INTO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX. ALSO HAS DONE THIS WHEN LEAVING AND TURNING INTO A MAIN ROAD, CAUSING US TO PULL OVER AND WAIT TO START IT AGAIN. TOOK IT TO GET CODES TESTED AGAIN AND IT PULLED UP A DIDN'T MATCH CODE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH TONS OF OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WORSE. MANY SHOWED THE SOLUTION TO BE REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY AND THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WHICH WE DID. SLIGHT HESITATION ON THE START UP BUT TOOK IT AROUND THE BLOCK NO ISSUES. WENT TO TEST IT ON THE HIGHWAY AND BEFORE WE EVEN MADE IT THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED CAME ON AND CAR SHOOK AGAIN. THERE AND SO MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND MANY HAVE NOT FOUND THE FIX. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING SINCE WE CANNOT RETURN THE PART AFTER IT'S BEEN INSTALLED. I AM WORRIED TO TAKE MY CAR OUT AND DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN WHILE I'M AT INCREASED SPEEDS.

MY DASH IS CRACKED

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60 MPH GOING UPHILL. I DID NOT HAVE IT IN CRUISE CONTROL. IWAS PASSING A SEMI. SUDDENLY THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT, AND THE BRAKES SEEMED HARD TO PUSH. I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED. I PUT IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO CHECK AND SEE IF ONE OF THE TIRES HAD BLOWN OUT, I LEFT IT RUNNING. THE TIRES WERE FINE. I GOT BACK IN AND PUT IT IN GEAR AND EASED DOWN ON THE GAS TO SEE HOW IT WAS GOING TO GO. IT DID FINE, I DROVE IT THE REST OF THE DAY AND IT SEEMED TO BE NORMAL. I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD BE CONNECTED TO THE IGNITION RECALL BACK IN 2014 AND WORRY THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. MY HUSBAND IS ATTEMPTING TO GET IT LOOKED AT BY MECHANIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MAILURE WAS 65,007.

VEHICLE STATIONARY. FIRST OF ALL, CAR KEY BROKE OFF IN THE LOCK. THE BOTTOM HALF IS EMBEDDED IN THE LOCK SO THE SPARE KEY WILL NOT GO IN. THEREFORE, CANNOT LOCK THE CAR AT ALL. SECOND, LEFT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS NOT ON. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. I TRANSPORT FOUR SENIORS TO AND FROM CHURCH EVERY WEEK, AND THEY HAVE A VERY HARD TIME GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR FROM THE RIGHT DOOR ONLY IN HAVING TO SLIDE SO FAR OVER. ALSO, SINCE THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED, THEY CANNOT LEAVE THEIR THINGS IN IT FOR FEAR OF SOMEONE TAKING THEM. WHY OH WHY DIDN'T CHEVY PUT A LOCK ON BOTH OF THE FRONT DOORS??

THE RACK AND PINION IS OUT OF THE CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2016 AND THE STEERING HAS LOCKED UP ON ME. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR.

MY 2007 IMPALA RECENTLY SHUT OFF ON ME WOULDN'T MOVE IN DRIVE AS I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS IT HAS BEEN JERKING SINCE I HIT 135000 MILES IT HAS A STRONG ODOR WHEN I CUT MY AC ON IN AS MY CAR IS RUNNING THE ENGINE HAS A STRONG ODORNOW MY CAR WANT DRIVE AT ALL AN I SEE IT HAS 3 RECALLS ON IT PLEASE LET ME WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR BECAUSE THAT WAS SO SCARY HAVING BREAK DOWN ON ME IN TRAFFIC.

IN 2014 I BOUGHT THIS CHEVY IMPALA FROM A LOCAL DEALER. OVER TIME A STRONG ODOR SKUNK LIKE SMELL RADIATES FROM THE VEHICLES INTERIOR. AFTER TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IT STILL WOULDN'T GO AWAY. I RECENTLY DID SOME ONLINE INVESTIGATION AND FOUND OUT GM ISSUED A TSB #08-08-110-019 FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX BECAUSE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A REALLY STRONG ODOR AFRAID SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET SICK. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS TO GET IT FIXED, I THINK GM SHOULD BE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

CURRENTLY CAR HAS 140,000 MILES. 1. CAR HESITATES AND STALLS INTO GEAR. IT ACCELERATES SLOWLY AND JERK AND JERKS AND JOLTS INTO TRAFFIC CONSTANTLY. STARTED AROUND AT 130,000 MILES. 2. EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE HEAT FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER AND VICE VERSA, IT MAKES A LOUD CLICKING AND CLACKING SOUND THAT LASTS FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND IT IS LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD OUTSIDE THE CAR. STARTED AROUND 10,000 MILES. 3. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE DASH STARTS CHIMING AND DISPLAYING THE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW AND TO STOP THE ENGINE. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT LOOKED FINE. THIS IS ONGOING AND IS FRUSTRATING. STARTED AROUND 125,000 MILES. 4. I AM BEGINNING TO NOTICE THAT ALL OF THE ABOVE DEFECTS OCCUR ONCE MY CAR REACHES A CERTAIN MILE.

IN DECEMBER MY CAR WHILE DRIVING, I EXPERIENCED REDUCED ENGINE POWER THE SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CAR CUT OFF. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC PRAYING THAT WE WOULD NOT BE HIT WHEN EVERYONE IS DOING 70 MPH. WHEN THE REDUCED POWER LIGHT COMES ON THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ONLY BE TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT I CAN START BY REPLACING THE PCM MODULE AND THAT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A CHEVY DEALERSHIP NOT KNOWING WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEY CARS. ESPECIALLY A CAR THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH SO MANY OF ITS CAR ACROSS THE NATION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCE SINCE DECEMBER AS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AFTER HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NOT FEELING CONFIDENT IN $1,000 REPAIR THAT THE DEALERSHIP THEMSELVES ARE NOT SURE IS GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IN HOPES OF GETTING A SOLUTION AND SOLID PLAN. I THINK THAT GM NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A GOOD SOLID SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND NOT GUESSING FIXES TO MAKE MONEY. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE LIVES ARE BEING PUT IN DANGER. LIKE I FELT MINE WAS WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE LINE ON A HIGHWAY, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH AND YOUR CAR REDUCE POWER AND THEN SHUT DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO THE PARK POSITION AND THE IGNITION KEY WAS REMOVED, THE VEHICLE STARTED INDEPENDENTLY AND ROLLED AWAY WITHOUT WARNING.

COMPLAINT: REAR WHEELS LINKAGE WAS DESIGNED SO THAT THE "CAMBER" CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE REAR TIRES WEAR AGRESSFULLY ON THE INBOARD EDGES TO A POINT THAT THEY ARE BALD WHILE THE OUTSIDE, WHICH IS VISIBLE, APPEARS TO BE GOOD. THE REAR TIRES BECOME UNSAFE, WITH A WEAR RATE THAT ONLY LAST ABOUT 15,000 MILES. I AM ON MY 5TH SET OF TIRES WITH THE CAR MILEAGE AT 66,000. GM WAS AWARE OF THIS CONDITION IN 2008, BUT THEY ISSUED A TSB (08032A) TO CORRECT ONLY "POLICE CARS" AND DID NOT REPAIR OR LET OTHER PRIVATE CUSTOMERS KNOW ABOUT THIS. MY CAR SERIAL NUMBER IS LISTED UNDER THE ONES ON THE TSB. THIS CONDITION ALSO CREATES A PROBLEM WHEN OPERATING THE CAR IN WET AND SLIPPERY ROADS, SINCE THE REAR TRACKING IS NOT THE SAME AS THE FRONT TIRES. THE CAR TENDS TO WHIP FROM SIDE TO SIDE, AN OPERATORS CAN LOOSE CONTROL. THE PARTS USED BY GM ARE THE SAME AS ON POLICE VEHICLES AS PERSONAL CARS. THEY CLAIMED A PROBLEM, BUT FOR SOME REASON DENY ANY ISSUES ON A PERSONAL CAR! GM DEALERS REFUSE TO EVEN SPLIT THE COST, AND GM WILL NOT CORRECT MY ISSUE.

SHE WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, HER OVERHEAT WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING, AND WHAT SHE DESCRIBED AS "A HUGE CLOUD OF FOG OR SMOKE" WAS TRAILING BEHIND HER.

MY HEADLIGHTS CONTINUALLY FLICKER ALMOST CONSTANTLY, ALONG WITH THE DASH LIGHTS. SOMETIMES THEY ALMOST GO OUT. THEY SEEM TO BE WORSE WHEN I AM ACCELERATING. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DRIVES ME CRAZY, CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THEM FIXED.

REDUCED ENGINE POWER/ TRACTION CONTROL WARNING/ GAS LINE FUEL LEAK. THIS CAR FLASHED A REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE WHILE I WAS GOING 65 MPH STRAIGHT AWAY ON BUSY CITY (IN HOUSTON) FREEWAY AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR THEN IMMEDIATELY REDUCED SPEED AND WOULD NOT GO BEYOND 40 MPH. I WAS TOLD THAT THE GAS LINE FUEL LEAK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BUT IT SEEMS VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE SAME DAY. GM IS PUTTING OUT A LOT OF TRASHY VEHICLES RIGHT NOW AND THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL; ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE NUMEROUS VALID COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. I'LL NEVER BY GM/CHEVY AGAIN. I AM GOING BACK TO AN IMPORTED BRAND

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SENSOR/LIGHT STAYS ON. WON'T RESET. HAD TO TAKE TO DEALER. THIS IS A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY/GM VEHICLES. TIRE PRESSURE WAS GOOD, ALL TIRES WERE GOOD (SET TO MANUFACTURER'S SPECS.)

AFTER HALF HOUR IT STARTED BUT DROVE SLOWLY SO HE WAS ABLE TO GET OF THE HIGHWAY AND WE HAD IT TOWED WHERE SOME WORK WAS DONE SUCH AS SOME SENSORS. IT WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND LAST NIGHT IT DID THE SAME THING. HE IS IN COLLEGE SO HE TOOK IT TO LOCAL SHOP AND THEY CAN'T RECREATE IT AND DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. THEY WILL TRY SOME MORE SENSORS BUT THIS IS A HIT OR MISS WHICH IS COSTING REAL MONEY. NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHEN HE WILL BE STRANDED OR IF IT WILL EVER BE FIXED. NOT VERY REASSURING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 85 AROUND 5;30AM AND JUST PASSING EXIT 20/NEW HOPE WHEN I HIT A HUGE POT HOLE IN THE ROAD ON THE FAR RIGHT LANE. AFTER HEARING A LOUD NOISE I PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT MY RIM WAS CRACKED OPEN ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE AND SLIGHTLY SLIT ON THE REAR RIGHT TIRE.

PREVIOUSLY I HAD THIS OCCUR AND I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED. THE MECHANIC AT THE REPAIR SHOP TESTED FOR CODES AND IT STATED THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAD THAT REPLACED ON TO TURN AROUND AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM TWO DAYS LATER. I RECENTLY SEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND NOTICED I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. I CALLED GM AND THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT UNFORTUNATELY THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I TRAVEL A LOT ON THE FREEWAY AND I WOULD HATE FOR THE CAR TO STOP WHILE DRIVING WITH MYSELF AND CHILDREN INSIDE. THIS VEHICLE COMPLAINT REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING, AND THE MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY SO HE CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT UNLESS IT DOES IT WHILE THE CAR IS IN HIS POSSESSION.

IN OCTOBER 2014 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING TO WORK AND THE CAR WENT FROM 65 TO 20, THEN IT STARTED SHAKING. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR WAS FINE. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I WAS ALREADY WORKING WITH GM ON THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING WAS DONE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DAVE'S MUFFLERS IN FEBRUARY 2015 AND THEY FIXED THE THROTTLE BODY. 6 MONTHS LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DAVE'S MUFFLERS SAID THEY ORDERED THE PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND I JUST GOT THE CAR FIXED IN FEBRUARY 2015. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THERE IS A SITE WITH NUMEROUS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND A RECALL REALLY NEEDS TO BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR GIVES A MESSAGE OF "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF...REGARDLESS OF WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 DAYS. VERY UNSAFE! I HAVE READ ONLINE OF HUNDREDS OF THIS SAME TYPE VEHICLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL ISSUE? I BELIEVE ANOTHER CAR MANUFACTURER HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH ONE OF THEIR ACCELERATOR PARTS AND THAT COMPANY RECALLED AND REPLACED THESE PARTS FOR NO CHARGE TO THE OWNER. I BELIEVE CHEVROLET NEEDS TO DO THE SAME THING.

I WAS DRIVING AT 20 MPH SLOWING TO TURN INTO MY PARKING LOT AT WORK AND SUDDENLY THE CAR JOLTED AND THE POWER DECREASED TO MAYBE HALF. THE CAR NEVER COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING SPOT AT WORK WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THERE WAS NO POWER LEFT AT ALL. ALL I COULD DO WAS COAST, THE CAR STILL NEVER COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.

THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER FAILED TO OPERATE AND A BURNING SMELL WAS DETECTED BY PASSENGERS. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR THAT ROUTES THE POWER TO THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER HAS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND OVERHEATS AND BURNS DUE TO IMPROPERLY SIZED CONNECTOR PINS IN WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR LOCATED NEAR THE PASSENGER KICK PANEL. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO DOCUMENTED IN A NUMBER OF SITES ON THE INTERNET INCLUDING YOUTUBE WHERE A VIDEO OF THE EXACT FAILURE WAS FOUND TO BE THE IDENTICAL FAILURE AS IN OUR IMPALA. THIS IS THE WEBSITE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=JFWBDZJQARU I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE FAILED/BURNED CONNECTOR IN MY CAR BUT I DON'T SEE WHERE I CAN SUBMIT THEM. JUDGING BY THE DESIGN PROBLEM, THIS SAME PROBLEM WOULD BE FOUND IN EVERY IMPALA USING THIS CONNECTOR SINCE THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS ARE NOT SIZED PROPERLY TO CARRY THE HIGH CURRENT TO THE DEFOGGER. THIS IS A DEFINITE FIRE HAZARD AND THE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE FAILURE - I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT/PROBLEM. *TR

GM HAS ISSUED A LETTER TO THOSE EFFECTED IN GM RECALL 14299 SAYING THAT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE. CALL YOUR DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ASAP. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED AND WOULD BE BETWEEN 30-60 DAYS AT WHICH POINT AN APPOINTMENT COULD/WOULD BE MADE. WHY IS IT TO TAKE SO LONG TO GET THE PART DELIVERED TO A DEALERSHIP IF THE PARTS ARE "AVAILABLE"? CONSIDER THAT IN THE RECENT TOYOTA AIRBAG RECALL, WE HEAR ON THE NEWS THIS PAST WEEK THAT PARTS CAN BE AVAILABLE IN 3 DAYS. WHY IS THERE SUCH A LARGE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE 2 MANUFACTURES? WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I ADVISED THEM THAT I WAS LEAVING THE AREA IN 30-45 DAYS AND IF THE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COMPLETED BY THE TIME I LEAVE, I WOULD NOT BE BACK UNTIL APRIL. THAT'S ANOTHER 6 MONTHS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS DEFECT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A 30 DAY DELAY TO GET PARTS TO THE DEALER, PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY SAID FOR THIS VEHICLE IT WAS ONLY AN IGNITION KEY ADJUSTMENT THAT WAS NEEDED, NOT A SWITCH REPLACEMENT.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN LATE MARCH 2010. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MY CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER.

FRIGHTENED, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY HOME. THE OTHER INCIDENTS WERE ON MAIN ROADS IN TOWN. THE CAR DID THE SAME THING.

WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL CAME UP ON THE DASH DISPLAY. POWER WAS CUT, LEFT HER DRIVING AT AROUND 40MPH I DROVE IT TODAY, JULY 1,2014, IT DID FINE FOR ABOUT THE FIRST MILE THEN SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, REDUCED ENGINE POWER DISPLAY CAME ON AGAIN. I DROVE IT 4 TIMES TODAY, SEEMS THAT IF THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW HOURS, IT RAN FINE, FULL POWER, NO ISSUES FOR ABOUT THE FIRST MILE TO MILE AND A HALF THEN IT WOULD COME UP WITH THE SERVICE TCS AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER WHICH LEAVES YOU AT VERY REDUCED SPEEDS. LUCKILY I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY SO TRAFFIC WASN'T A HUGE ISSUE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURANCE WITH MANY YR MODEL IMPALAS SO I WANTED TO REPORT MINE SO IT WOULD BE ON RECORD AS WELL. 2007 IMPALA LT2 WITH 3.9L ENGINE. THANKS. *TR

DRIVING WITH 4 IN THE CAR AT AROUND 65 MPH WENT TO STOP AND THE WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE FROM THE ROTORS WARPING. WENT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM AND THEY TOLD ME TO SHIFT TOO 2ND GEAR.

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

WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTED TO JERK AND HESITATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A MESSAGE OF REDUCED ENGINE POWER. COULD NOT DRIVE THE DRIVE OVER 5 MPH. WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO PUSH THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT AS THE ENGINE WILL NO LONGER START BUT CRANKS OVER FINE. HAD TO BUY A SCANNER TO READ THE CODE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE TO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP OR AUTO PARTS STORE TO READ THE CODES. THE PO641 CODE WAS SET. CHECKED AND TESTED THE SENSOR WIRES FOR THE 5VOLTS EVERY ONE THAT I TESTED SHOWED OK. REPLACED THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLE BECAUSE OF THE CODE THAT COULD BE A SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM NO DIFFERENCE. CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT NO CHANGE CAR WILL NOT START.CHECKED AND GAVE ALL THE WIRES A GOOD PULL AND OR TUG TO WIGGLE THE CONNECTORS AND TOOK APART ALL SENSOR CONNECTIONS NO CORROSION WAS FOUND.ALL GROUNDS APPEAR TO BE GOOD. NO BROKEN WIRES ARE FOUND NO BLOWN FUSES WERE FOUND.AFTER 2 DAYS WAS ABLE TO START ENGINE WITH THE MESSAGE REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND CAR DIED AGAIN AND WOULD RESTART BUT NOT IDLE. WAS ABLE TO REV ENGINE AND KEEP IT RUNNING BUT ONCE IT IDLED IT WOULD DIE AND SOMETIMES NOT RESTART AGAIN.AT THIS TIME CAR IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON ANY ROADWAY BECAUSE IT MIGHT DIE AND RANDOM TIMES. *JS

ONCE AGAIN THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHTS ARE ON. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO DON BROWN CHEVY DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT. BEEN TOLD IT'S A CLIP THAT CAME LOOSE AND WAS FIXED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO FIND SOME PLACE THAT CAN ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM OR FOR GM TO COME UP WITH A FIX. THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM AND SHOULD BE ON THE LIST DUE TO THE MULTIPLE INCIDENTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY ON THE CAR SINCE 2009. *TR

THE HEAT ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR DURING ACCELERATION. ONCE IDLE, THE WARM AIR TURNS ICE COLD. MY CAR WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TO BE REPAIRED AND EVERY TIME, IT WOULD WORK PROPERLY FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GO BACK TO NOT WORKING. AFTER THE 3RD "FIX" (THE "FIX" WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY TIME), THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I JUST MUST KNOW NOT HOW TO WORK MY HEAT BECAUSE I "KEEP BREAKING IT". THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE AND EVEN THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO CORRECTLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM!! *TR

THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A BROKEN WIRE IN THE BTSI SOLENOID TERMINAL WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY RE WIRING THE GROUND WIRE TO THE SHIFTER WHERE THE PIN HAD BROKEN. ON MAY 3RD THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULD NOT COME OUT. LET THE CAR SIT FOR 24 HOURS THE BATTERY DIED AND THE KEY RELEASED OUT OF THE IGNITION. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 5, 2014 AND THE SHIFTER WIRES WERE RE CONSTRUCTED. CAR STILL ACTS AS IF THE SHIFTER IS NOT GOING TO SHIFT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 07' CHEVY IMPALA THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ARM OFTEN WILL DROP TO 'C' AS IF THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS COLD, THEN THE DRIVERS INFORMATION DISPLAY PANEL WILL DISPLAY A MESSAGE "ENGINE HOT TURN OFF A/C". I'VE HAD THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED, RADIATOR COOLANT DRAINED AND REPLACED, HOPING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT I'M STILL DEALING WITH IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I'M FINDING THAT THERE HAS BEEN OTHER CHEVY VEHICLE OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, WHICH IS MOST LIKELY A BAD 'ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ECT). *TR

MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN AND I NOTICED I HAD PUDDLES OF SOMETHING UNDER MY CAR WHERE EVER I PARKED. I WAS PUTTING FLUID IN TWICE A DAY JUST SO I WOULD BE ABLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I FINALLY HAD THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT I HAD A WHOLE IN MY POWER STEERING LINE OR COOLER. PROBABLY BOTH BUT HE SAID IT WAS SPRAYING EVERY WHERE. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR YET AND I BOUGHT IT FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS USED THEY LOOKED IT OVER VERY WELL FOR ME BECAUSE MY MOM KNOWS THE OWNER. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED NOR CAN I AFFORD TO KEEP PUTTING POWER STEERING FLUID IN DAILY. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND I KNOW IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF SOON IT WILL TURN INTO BIGGER PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND A MESSAGE POPPED-UP "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MY SPEED WAS QUICKLY REDUCED FROM 45 MPH TO 20 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER LUCKILY I WAS NOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.

NUMEROUS OF IMPALA OWNERS HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS, BUT HAVE BEEN IGNORED. I FEEL AS THOUGH GM SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLES AND FIX THE DEFECTS... THIS IS PUTTING ME, MY CHILDREN, AND MANY OTHERS AT RISK.

I WAS GOING OVER THE VEHICLE FOR THE SEASON AND FOUND I HAD A LEAK IN THE POWER STEERING LINE. THE LINE EFFECTED WAS COVERED WITH A RIBBED PLASTIC SHEATHING LIKE WHAT IS USED FOR A WIRE HARNESSES. THE SHEATHING CAUSED ROAD SALT TO BUILD UP AND CORRODE THE LINE, CAUSING A LEAK AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THERE WERE TWO LINES HELD TOGETHER, SIDE BY SIDE, WITH A PLASTIC BRACKET BUT ONLY ONE OF THOSE HAD THE SHEATHING AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT WAS THERE. I ALSO FOUND A WIRE THAT OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE INSULATION AND LEFT THE WIRE BARE. IT'S LOCATED BEHIND THE POWER STEERING PUMP AS VIEWED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE PLASTIC THAT DISPLAYS THE ENGINE SIZE. THE PLASTIC IS HELD DOWN WITH A COUPLE OF PINS THAT THE PLASTIC PUSHES DOWN OVER WHEN INSTALLED. THE DEALER COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT THE WIRE IS FOR WHEN I CALLED TO EXPLAIN WHAT I FOUND. *JS

CHECKED THE GM WEBSITE ABOUT THE RECALL AND IT STATES TO TAKE EVERYTHING OFF THE KEY RING EXCEPT THE KEY. WELL I'VE ONLY GOT THE KEY ON THE RING SO THAT EXCUSE DOESN'T WASH. I CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WITH THE FAULTY IGNITIONS, THEN THEY HUNG UP ON ME. WELL IT SHOULD BE. I THINK THIS IGNITION PROBLEM IS A LOT BIGGER THAN THEY ARE ADMITTING. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, I CAN'T AFFORD TO FORK OVER BIG BUCKS TO A DEALER. I'M A SINGLE WORKING MOM. *TR

BOUGHT THE CAR JAN 2012. CAR HAS 31,000 MI. THE INSIDE OF REAR TIRES ARE WEARING OUT. HAD CAR ALIGNED MECHANIC SAYS TIRES NEED REPLACED. IT LOOKS TO ME BY ALL OF THE REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS DEFINITELY A MECHANICAL ISSUE HERE. MAYBE NHTSA SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT. *TR

IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 I NOTICED WEIRD TIRE WEAR ON MY 07 IMPALA LT (REAR).. THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO LOW GRADE TIRES SO I PURCHASED A TWO BETTER TIRE FOR THE REAR.. MARCH 16 2014 I RECEIVED A FLAT WHILE PARKED... ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE AND INSIDE TIRE WEAR FOUR MONTHS BRAND NEW TIRES DESTROYED. SO I RESEARCHED WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND FOUND OUT THAT GM HAD CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOR KNOW ABOUT THIS AND ONLY RECALLING LAW ENFORCEMENT ISSUED IMPALA'S.I PURCHASED THE CAR 2010 AND NOVEMBER 2013 IS WHEN I FIRST SEEN PROBLEM. *TR

BOUGHT CAR (2007 IMPALA SS) 2 YEARS AGO I DRIVE IT MOSTLY ON HIGHWAY TO WORK WITH SINCE THEN HAS RANGED DOWN FROM 85 MILES A DAY TO ABOUT 40 AN LAST YEAR AROUND THIS EXACT TIME MY TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT I HAD IT REBUILT FULLY FOR ALMOST 2000 DOLLARS AN JUST LAST WEEK I NOTICED SLIPPAGE AGAIN I TOOK IT IN TO WHERE I HAD IT REBUILT AN THE SCANNER SOWED THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS FAILING SO I REPLACED IT AGAIN AN A DAY LATER I'M NOTICING IT AGAIN , I DON'T ,MIND REPAIRING WEAR AN TEAR ON VEHICLES BUT A TRANSMISSION EVER YEAR IS RIDICULOUS AN EXTREME FA THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO DEAL WITH I AM HOPING THAT GM RECALLS THIS PROBLEM ,AN I AM SEEING AN HEARING A LOT OF FOLKS WITH THIS PROBLEM IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO HELP PLEASE CONTACT ME. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30-40 MPH THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WAS CRASHED ON THE DRIVER REAR SIDE PUSHING THE VEHICLE INTO A DITCH. THE VEHICLE ROLLED TWICE AND FLIPPED TWO TIMES BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS ON IMPACT. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED 10 BROKEN RIBS, LEFT KIDNEY AND SUSTAINED A TRAUMATIC BRAIN CAUSING HIM TO HAVE SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSE AND SEIZURES. THE VEHICLE WAS RENDERED UN REPAIRABLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT INFORMED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS ALERTED ABOUT THIS FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURE STATED THE VEHICLE WAS A SMART CAR AND KNOW WHERE OR NOT TO DEPLOY OR NOT AND DECLINE TO PROVIDE THE CONTACT ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. AZ

STEERING SPILLS OIL AND HARD TO TURN REAR BRAKE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR IS ON. *TR

STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY TRANSMISSION A WHILE BACK. IF I WAS AT A STOP AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT WAS SLOWLY TAKE OF THEN ALL OF SUDDEN SLAM INTO THE RIGHT GEAR THEN TAKE OFF. IT ALSO HAPPENED EVEN IF I DIDNT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRIED TO GO AGAIN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER ABOUT A MONTH OF THIS HAPPENING. I HAD IT CHECKED. IT WAS A SHIFT SOLENOID. SINCE I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I HAD IT REPLACED. IT WAS FINE TILL ABOUT A TWO WEEKS AGO 08/20/2013. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN.

RECALLS SUBJECT: STEERING KNUCKLE BREAKING/LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL REPORT RECEIPT DATE: 2/17/2009 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09E005000 COMPONENT(S) STEERING I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS RECALL. I NOTICED THIS RECALL WHILE CHECKING WEBSITE AT PEPBOYS.

AFTER STOPPING, I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE, AFTER TWO SECONDS THE CAR WILL SLAM INTO GEAR AND VIOLENTLY LURCH FORWARD. POWERFUL ENOUGH TO STRAIN MY NECK. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

NO HEAT IN CAR, OVER HEATING, TOOK TO GARAGE, IT IS HEAD GASKET. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX,ONLY 53,000 MILES. *TR

HOW CAN A CAR GO THROUGH THE BUILDING PROCESS AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NOT BE INSTALLED? CHEVROLET'S FIX FOR THIS WAS A $100 GIFT CERTIFICATE TO FLY ANYWHERE I WANTED TO GO. I GUESS $100 IS ALL A HUMAN LIFE IS WORTH? *TR

EXCESSIVE WEAR ON INSIDE EDGES OF REAR TIRES I'M JUST FORTUNATE I CAUGHT THE WEAR EARLY . SO I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH REAR SPINDLE RODS NEEDED REPLACING TO THE TUNE OF $700.00. THE SERVICE DEPT. TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT GET ENOUGH ADJUSTMENT IN THE CURRENT SPINDLE RODS TO BRING THE ALIGNMENT INTO SPEC. AND THERE IS AN UPDATED PART TO REPLACE THEM. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2009 AND IT EFFECTS BOTH 2007 AND 2008 CHEVY IMPALAS. THEY DID A RECALL ON 07 AND 08 POLICE VERSIONS OF THE IMPALA BUT NOT ON THE CIVILIAN VERSION. THE NHTSB NEEDS TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THIS DESIGN PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO A BLOW OUT. *TR

THE STEERING GOES OUT WHEN DRIVING THROUGH RAIN OR EVEN A VERY SMALL PUDDLE. THE POWER STEERING OR STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE CAR CANNOT BE CONTROLLED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND/OR MINUTES. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS A REDUCE ENGINE DISPLAY AND THE ACCELERATION STARTS TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR TO AROUND 40MPH. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. *TR

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD THE VEHICLE ANTITHEFT SYSTEM ACTIVATES AND CAUSED THE ENGINE NOT TO START UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED WHICH WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 122,000. LI

THE VEHICLE IS BLOWING COLD AIR OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE DUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROLS ARE BOTH SET TO HOT. THE SAFETY ISSUE HERE IS THAT THE DEFROST IS ALSO BLOWING COLD AIR AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE IMPAIRED VISIBILITY DUE TO THE DEFROSTER NOT WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. DOING RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE IT SEEMS TO BE THE ACTUATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I JUST RECENTLY REPLACED THE ACTUATOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. *TR

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH DUE TO ICY/SNOWY CONDITIONS ON HIGHWAY, CAR HAD POOR TRACTION AND REAR END WAS SWAYING, FISH TAILING.. WHEN ON DRY PAVEMENT IF ROAD CONDITIONS ARE ROUGH, BUMPY OR HAS MAN HOLES THE REAR SWAYS WHEN THESE AREAS ARE DRIVEN OVER AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS. *TR

2007 IMPALA SS. TRANSMISSION HESITATION OCCURS WHEN GOING AROUND 45-60 MPH. CAR SEMI-ENGAGES SHIFTING, BUT THEN BACKS OUT, GIVING A CHUGGING SENSATION WHILE DRIVING IN THAT SPEED RANGE. HIGHER SPEEDS ABOVE 60 PRODUCES AN INCREDIBLE SCREECH/WHINE NOISE. CURRENTLY IN SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTICS. AT 74,000 MILES CLUTCH WAS REPLACED DUE TO IT BEING CRACKED IN HALF. GM HAS EITHER MAD POOR TRANSMISSION ENGINEERING, USING SHOTTY PARTS, OR THIS TRANSMISSION IS OVERLY UNDERRATED FOR THE POWER OF THE ENGINE. *TR

MY WIFE'S DAILY DRIVER IS A 2007 IMPALA . SHE WAS DRIVING HOME WITH OUR THREE KIDS WHEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER DISPLAY CAME ON. AFTER THAT SHE COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 25MPH. THIS SCARED HER AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND FORUMS ABOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT PISSES ME OFF THAT GM HASN'T RECALLED THESE VEHICLES . DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS SITUATION IS TAKEN CARE OF? *TR

THE TIRES ARE WEARING TERRIBLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A ALIGNMENT OR SUSPENSION PROBLEM BECAUSE THE TIRES WEAR ON THE INSIDE . THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENT IN THIS CAR. THE REAR TIRES SEEM TO BE THE ISSUE. ABOUT A YEAR AND 1/2 AGO, I BOUGHT VERY EXPENSIVE 80,000 MILE TIRES TOP OF THE LINE UNKNOWINGLY THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT. THE TIRES WERE COMPLETELY TRASHED- THE WIRES WERE STICKING OUT OF THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WHEN I BROUGHT THEM INTO MY TIRE DEALERSHIP. THE MANAGER THERE TOLD ME TO CHECK ON A POSSIBLE RECALL BECAUSE HE SEES THIS HAPPENING WITH ALL THE 2007 CHEVY IMPALAS THAT HE WORKS ON. I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT OR WORSE..... *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED 17 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH SEATBELT BUT YESTERDAY THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT BUCKLE INTO LATCH ON DRIVER'S SIDE AT ALL, CHECKED FOR DEBRIS, COINS IN THE WAY, NOT THERE. THE RED RELEASE LATCH WILL NOT RELEASE AND POP BACK OPEN SO THAT IT CAN ACCEPT THE BUCKLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ITEM AND I CAN BRING IT IN AND PAY $106.00 FOR THEM JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I AM GOING TO TRY AND FIND THE PARTS TO FIX IT MYSELF. *TR

MODERN VEHICLE DESIGN HAS INCREASED OCCUPANT SAFETY IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS COIN IS A DECREASED ABILITY TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. BLIND SPOTS CAUSED BY HUGE WINDSHIELD POSTS AND REAR VIEW MIRRORS (INSIDE AND OUT), HEADRESTS POKING UP AND A SEAT BELTS THAT HOLD YOU IN POSITION TO LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD....ALL THESE CONTRIBUTED TO OUR CAR HITTING A GUY-WIRE FOR A POWER POLE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE "SCENE" AND THE GUY-WIRE AND WINDSHIELD POST ARE EXACTLY THE SAME ANGLE, THE GUY-WIRE NOT BEING IN THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION. THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED RIGHT NOW (TO THE TUNE OF $1250.00, JUST FOR A HEADLIGHT AND TUPPERWARE BUMPER COVER). IT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF WE'D HAD THE SERVICES OF A NASCAR SPOTTER UP ON THE ROOF OF THE VFW! THERE.....I VENTED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO TIGHTEN UP. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED THAT THE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE IGNITION KEY WAS TURNED ON, THE RADIO STILL PLAYING, ALL LIGHTS ON - BUT THE CAR WAS NOT ON. THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR UP AND IT WOULD NOT START. GIVING ME A CLICKING NOISE WITH NO ALERTS ON IN THE CAR. AFTER A FEW TRIES, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND I PARKED IT BACK AT HOME. THE SECOND TIME, THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 45 MINS AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I GOT MY CAR TO START, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO ONE MINUTE WITHOUT IT CUTTING OFF WHILE TURNING CORNER. THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THE CAR STOPPED/SHUT DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE. THE NEXT TIME I WAS ACTUALLY TAKING THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND I DROVE ABOUT 3 MINS BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AND TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND FOR MY CAR TO CONTINUOUSLY STOP WHILE DRIVING IS A HUGE PROBLEM!! I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH FOR IT NOT TO HAVE STOPPED ON A HIGHWAY OR ANYTHING, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!! MY CAR HAS STOPPED WHILE IN DRIVE 5 TIMES IN TWO WEEKS, WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING, AND 3 TIMES WHILE SITTING IDLE. *TR

FIRST, WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TURN A CORNER, I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. AFTER THE TURN, WHEN I PRESS THE GAS I HAVE NO POWER. IT DOESN'T DIE, IT JUST WON'T GO ANYWHERE FOR ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS, NO POWER. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LONG TIME UNLESS YOU ARE SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS, THEN TAKE OFF. SOMETIMES IT GOES, BUT FEELS LIKE IT JERKS INTO GEAR. THAT'S OK AT STOP SIGNS BUT STOP LIGHTS THAT TURN GREEN AS I APPROACH CAN BE DANGEROUS. ALSO, IF I TURN A CORNER ONTO ANOTHER STREET, IT HESITATES. AND SOMETIMES I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. PEOPLE EXPECT YOU TO TURN AND PROCEED. WHEN YOU JUST STOP, THEY MAY NOT. I ALSO NOTICED ONE DAY, WHEN I JUST COAST ON A LEVEL ROAD, MY CAR SOMETIMES ACCELERATES FOR QUITE A WHILE, INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN IMMEDIATELY. I ONCE TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AT 45 MPH AND COASTED ON FLAT ROAD FOR 2.5 MILES. THE LATEST RELATED PROBLEM IS.. SPRING 2013, TWICE, I TURNED A CORNER AND IT JUST DIED. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, IT CRANKED BACK UP. THANKFULLY, I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND NOT A FOUR LANE ROAD. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH PARKING. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES AND PULL INTO PARKING SPOT. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, IT LUNGES FORWARD. OR IF I STOP IN TRAFFIC, SOMETIMES IT LUNGES AFTER IT STOPS. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT I LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM IN FRONT FOR THIS PROBLEM. I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER ALLOWING THE GAS TO FLOW OR STOP. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND IT STILL DOES IT. *TR

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK I CANNOT GET THE KEY TO DISENGAGE FROM THE IGNITION SO THAT I AM ABLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT. I HAVE TRIED JIGGLING THE GEAR SHIFT ETC AND IT WILL NOT COME OUT REGARDLESS OF WHAT I TRY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT END MADE A LOUD WINNING NOISE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT'S PERSONAL MECHANIC INSPECTED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND FOUND THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS FOAMING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE STEERING RACK AND PINION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO WANTED TO STATE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL INTERMEDIATED SHAFT WAS REPLACED AT 43,798 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000. UPDATED 9/10/13 *CN THIS CONSUMER NO LONGER AWNS THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TRADED IN. UPDATED 09/13/2013 *JS

I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT WHERE A FLAT BED TRUCK WAS STOPPED AND I WENT TO STOP BEHIND HIM. AT FIRST THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THEN AS IF I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL THE CAR STOPPED STOPPING AND CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF THE TOW TRUCK. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME NOR THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED BUT IT WAS THE WORST TIME AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW. I SEE THE NUMBER OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET, HUNDREDS OF FORUMS, COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WOBBLING OR VIBRATION THAT OCCURS UPON BREAKING. THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY AND IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THE SYMPTOMS TO APPEAR UNTIL FINALLY I CRASHED THE CAR. THE ABS NOR BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. IT SEEMS THAT WHILE GM WAS GOING BROKE IN 2004 THROUGH 2007 THEY DECIDED CHEAPER PARTS WERE A VIABLE SOLUTION TO THEIR OBVIOUS BRINK OF BANKRUPTCY. AND YET WHEN WE THE AMERICAN TAX PAYERS PAID $49.5 MILLION DOLLARS TO BAIL GM OUT OF DEBT IN DECEMBER OF 2008 THEY NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED RECALLING THE VEHICLES WITH THE UNSAFE BRAKING SYSTEMS ON THEM. IRONICALLY THE POLICE CARS MADE BY GM HAVE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SYSTEM, A SAFER SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED. SADLY? AS LONG AS THEY STILL OWE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT $49.5 MILLION, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL NOT FORCE GM TO RECALL THESE CARS WITH THE UNSAFE BRAKING SYSTEMS BECAUSE IT WILL FORCE THEM INTO ANOTHER BANKRUPTCY. GM IS NOW SOLIDLY PROFITABLE, ITS CARS HAVE IMPROVED, AND IT HAS CREATED 23,000 NEW U.S. JOBS SINCE EXITING BANKRUPTCY IN 2009 WHY AREN'T THEY CORRECTING THEIR WRONGS AND WHY AREN'T THEY PAYING BACK THE $49.5 MILLION THEY OWE US? WHEN YOU GOOGLE 2007 (OR ANY YEAR BETWEEN 2006 - 2008) IMPALA LT BRAKE PROBLEMS IT'S ALARMING TO SEE THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. *TR

WHEN PURCHASED, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED REAR TIRE TREAD WEAR ON THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES ONLY. WE BOUGHT NEW TIRES IN 2011 AND HAD THE VEHICLE BALANCED AND ALIGNED. IN JULY 2013, WE FIND THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE OUR 70,000 MILE TIRES (DRIVEN 20,000 MILES IN THAT TWO YEARS) BECAUSE OF REAR WEAR TO THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES. CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER SAYS NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR...TIRE COMPANY BLAMES MECHANICAL PROBLEMS...NO HELP FROM CHEVY AS THEY INDICATE THEY STAND BY THE CERTIFIED MECHANICS. IN READING HISTORIES ON THIS VEHICLE, IT APPEARS THAT SOME 2007 MODELS HAVE HAD REPLACEMENT PARTS ISSUED BY CHEVY, BUT NOT ANY VEHICLE NOT USED FOR PERSONAL USAGE. IT SEEMS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE AS THE TIRE WEAR COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHEN TURNING DURING LOW SPEEDS WHICH INCLUDES PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, PARKING SPOTS AND INTERSECTIONS. WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE A TURN, THE ABS ENGAGES WHICH CAUSES A REDUCTION OF POWER AND FORCED BRAKING. THIS HAPPENS DURING ANY TYPE OF WEATHER AND ON ANY TYPE OF SURFACE PAVEMENT, THE CAR IS NOT EXPERIENCING ANY REAL LOSS OF TRACTION, THE ABS SIMPLY IS ENGAGING IN ERROR. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME, MY CARS ABS MAY ENGAGE WHILE I AM AT AN INTERSECTION, OR MAKING A LEFT TURN WHILE TRAFFIC IS ONCOMING. IF THE ABS WERE TO ENGAGE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AVOID COLLISION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS FAILURES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL, THE ENGINE, THE BRAKES, AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING AT THE ENGINE, THE POWER STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKE LINES. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF THE EXACT REPAIRS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION FAILURE WAS RECENTLY EXPERIENCED AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT 90,000.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH. STOPPED AT A FAST FOOD PLACE AND PULLED IN TO THE PAY WINDOW AND HEARD A CLUNK. WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM THE WINDOW MAKING A SLIGHT LEFT TURN, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL LOCKED 70 DEGREES RIGHT AND I STOPPED. TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALER AND HE INFORMED ME THE TIE ROD TO THE WHEEL STRIPPED OUT OF THE CONNECTOR ROD BOLT. THE STRIPPED PORTION WAS ABOUT 1 AND A QUARTER INCHES. THIS HAD TO TAKE A WHILE TO STRIP OUT WITH NO INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM BEFORE HAND AND THE ALIGNMENT HAD APPEARED TO STILL BE FINE. I HAVE THE TWO COMPONENTS AND CAN SEND PICTURES OR THE COMPONENTS THEMSELVES. *TR

THIS IS AN ADDITION TO COMPLAINT #10515524 AND 10519582. I WENT BACK TO PARKS CHEVROLET TO GET A BREAK DOWN FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE CHEVROLET ABOUT MY IMPALA. DEALER STATED THAT THE BOOT AT STEERING COLUM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WILL LUBRICATE AT NO CHARGE WHEN REPLACING POWER STEERING RACK $830.00 PLUS TAX AND ALL WHEEL ALIGMENT $79.95, I HAD WHEEL ALIGMENT DONE APRIL 23, 2013 FOR 79.95 AT DEALERSHIP. ALSO THE CLAPPING NOISE FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER, THE RECIR ACUATOR DOOR IS FAULTY EST PRICE $271.00. THIS IS FROM THE MANUFACTOR WHEN CAR WAS ASSEMBLED. WHEN WILL YOU HAVE THEM TO RECALL THESE 2007 IMPALA'S. *TR

THIS IS IN ADDITION TO CLAIM # [XXX]. WHEN I TURN THE HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONER ON AND ADJUST THE KNOBS THERE IS A LOUD CLAPPING SOUND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD. IT LAST FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES THEN STOPS VERY ANNOYING. WHEN WILL THESE CARS BE RECALLED TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I NOTICE A FUNNY SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. I DROVE OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. I WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING RACK SEALS ARE STARTING TO LEAK. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF 2007 IMPALA'S IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN DIFFERENT STATES. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA BUT NO ONE IS REQUESTING A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I CAN NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY. GMC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE TO PAY $830.00 + TAX TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING RACK, SHOULD NOT GMC PAY FOR THIS SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OR DO SOMEONE HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE WHEN THE STEERING FREEZES UP. I HAD A PROBLEM WITH REAR END SUSPENSION WEARING OUT THREE SET OF TIRES THREE YEARS AGO AT ONLY 5000 MILES. I HAD TO GO THROUGH A LOT TO GET THAT FIXED. I'VE CONTACTED GMC ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE. PLEASE HAVE THESE CARS RECALLED. THANK YOU *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE LUBRICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 05/08/13*LJ UPDATED 06/10/2013 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A LOUD, ABNORMAL NOISE AS IT ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

STARTED MY VEHICLE AS I WENT TO PULL OFF TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE/PICK UP ON SPEED. THE CAR STARTED PUTTING. I PULLED OVER BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER MOVE, BUT WAS STILL RUNNING. MY SISTER PUSH ME BUMPER TO BUMPER TO MY MECHANIC ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WAS MY THROTTLE BODY. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REFLECT THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. IT SAYS FULL TANK WHEN IT IS BUT I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH IT READING HALF TANK. DANGEROUS!!! WHEN IT RUNS OUT OF GAS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING, OH EXCEPT YOU STALL AND HAVE ZERO POWER STEERING. FROM 70 TO 0 IN 2.5SEC. CALLED DEALER AND INQUIRED ABOUT ANY ISSUES WITH GAS GAUGES BECOMING FAULTY AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE PERSON THAT IT COULD GO BAD BUT HE KNOWS NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH FAULTY GAS GAUGES FOR CHEVY. LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND PAGES AND PAGES OF DOCUMENTED FUEL/GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS STRANDING DRIVERS. IF THEY THINK IGNORANCE IS BLISS THEN I HAVE MANY OTHER BRANDS OF VEHICLES TO CHOOSE FROM. *TR

OCCASIONALLY, WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE ENGINE WILL REV UP AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL KICK IN TO GEAR. OCCASIONALLY IT SLIPS ON HILLS ALSO. WE GENERALLY DO NOT HAVE TO MERGE INTO HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC BUT IF THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AT THAT TIME THERE COULD BE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AFTER FIVE VISITS, AND APPARENTLY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THEY THEMSELVES EXPERIENCE THE TRANSMISSION SLIP. *TR

THE FIRST INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING AND THE "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM" FLASHED ON THE DISPLAY. I HAD ALL BRAKE PADS REPLACED AT DEALER ON 1/3/2013. 2/7/2013 I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS TO ABOUT 10 MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THE DASH THEN DISPLAYED "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ON 2/14/2013, I HAD THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR REPLACED AND AT THE SAME TIME HAD THE REAR DEFROST WIRING REPAIRED BECAUSE THAT HAD NOT BEEN WORKING FOR OVER A YEAR. ON 3/4/2013 THE CAR WOULD NOT START BY THE FACTORY REMOTE START, SO WENT OUT AND STARTED THE CAR WITH THE KEY, WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL THE CHIME WOULD SOUND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHED BUT NO START. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN TRIED AGAIN, THE CAR STARTED BRIEFLY (50 SECONDS) "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" APPEARED ON THE DASH THEN IT SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD SAW THE BATTERY ATTACHMENT WAS LOOSE, TIGHTENED THAT UP AND THEN THE CAR STARTED UP. HOWEVER, THE CAR RADIO (FACTORY RADIO NEVER REPLACED), THE CHIME, OR THE TICKING OF THE TURNING SIGNALS NO LONGER WORK. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER ON 3/14/13, BUT THE CAR SEEMS TO BE FAILING ALL AROUND. IN READING CHEVY/GM FORUMS, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CHEVY OWNERS EXPERIENCING THESE SAME ISSUES, CHEVY/GM NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP AND INVESTIGATE THESE VEHICLES TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS. NEARLY 3000 DOLLARS LATER IN DEALER REPAIRS IS NOT GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE ISSUE. I WAS NEARLY IN A CRASH DUE TO THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER ISSUE AND THAT WAS SCARY ENOUGH TO MAKE ME NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR OR AN AT ALL. *TR

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR, DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE INSIDE WEARS ABNORMALLY. SUSPECT REAR WHEEL SPINDLE ROD, WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR POLICE MODEL BUT NOT CIVILIAN MODEL FOR REAR WHEEL MISALIGNMENT. DANGER OF WEAR NOT BEING NOTICED SINCE IT IS EXCESSIVE ON THE INSIDE OF TIRE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TIRE BLOW OUT AND CRASH. *TR

AT A STOP LIGHT. FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN GEAR,ENGINE REVS 2500/3000RPM, THEN TRANS GOES IN GEAR. TOLD BY DEALER IF USING LEFT FOOT ON BRAKE AT A STOP, THIS WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THEY OFFERED NO HELP. WAS TOLD WITHOUT CODES THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION! WHEN I GOT CAR IT WAS LEAKING TRANS FLUID.TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER,TO HAVE LEAK FIXED. AT ANOTHER SHOP I USE, WHILE CAR WAS ON LIFT YOU COULD SEE TRANS PAN ON VALVE BODY HAD BEEN OFF. TRANS HAS FOR SURE BEEN WORKED ON! AS YOU MIGHT GUESS IT WILL NOT DO THIS AT THE DEALER.I LET THE CAR WITH THEM FOR 1 WEEK,FOR THEM TO DRIVE.WHEN I GOT CAR BACK THEY PUT ALL OF 3MILES ON IT. *TR

CHEVROLET IMPALA DISPLAYS EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES. I AM ASSUMING IT IS THE REAR TIRES AS ONLINE SEARCHES DESCRIBE THE SAME CONDITION AFFECT THE REAR TIRES. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED EVERY TIME THE OIL WAS CHANGED, SO THE FRONT TIRES SHOW SOME WEAR BUT NOT NEARLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. IT IS MY GUESS THIS WEARING STARTED BEFORE THE MOST RECENT TIRE ROTATION. THE TIRES ARE WORN TO THE POINT THE CORDS ARE SHOWING ALONG THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES. THE TIRE IS VERY ROUNDED ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF EACH TIRE WHILE THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF EACH TIRE LOOKS LIKE THEY DID WHEN NEW. THE TIRES ARE MICHELIN HYDROEDGE TIRES WITH APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES, THEY ARE RATED FOR 90,000 MILES. ONLINE INFORMATION SAYS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SPINDLE RODS. THERE IS A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST "NEW GM" TO HONOR DESIGN PROBLEMS OF "OLD GM." GM ORDER A RECALL ON ALL POLICE IMPALAS FROM 2007-2008 WITHIN A VIN RANGE TO REPLACE THE SPINDLE RODS. BULLETIN NO. 08032A. ALSO SEARCH DOCUMENT PIC5406A FOR MORE INFORMATION. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH COULD LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE TYPE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SUDDENLY REDUCED ENGINE POWER CAME UP ON THE DASH BOARD. FOLLOWED BY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP AND THE CAR SHUTTING OFF. AFTER 20 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AGAIN, BUT NOW I DRIVE WITHA CONSTANT FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN, AND WHAT IF MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR NEXT TIME! I HAVE A CONSTANT ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING LINE LEAKING, ALTHOUGH I HAVE REPLACED THE PUMP, AND THE FUEL LINE. I FEEL LIKE I AM THROWING MY MONEY INTO A BOTTOM LESS PIT. WHAT DO I DO FROM HERE? *TR

CAR BUCKS WHEN GOING FROM 0 MPH. BROUGHT CAR INTO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES THEY CHECKED IT OUT. THEY DIDN'T FIND A PROBLEM BUT CAR STILL BUCKS. SPOKE TO OTHER OWNERS, THEY HAVE SAME PROBLEM. NO RESPONSE FROM GENERAL MOTORS THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS. PROBLEM STARTED AT @30000 MILES. CAR HAS 68000 MILES NOW.

REPORTED THAT CAR WOULD JERK (KICK INTO GEAR LATE) WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP TO START. AT 74,000 WE MADE OUR FIRST CLAIM WITH LOCAL DEALER. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE CONCERN. BROUGHT CAR IN TWO MORE TIME BECAUSE IT GOT WORSE. FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS HITTING ME FROM THE BACK. MY CAR OFTEN KICKS OUT OF GEAR ON A LEFT TURN. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I WAS ALMOST T-BONED. THEY NEVER FOUND THE ISSUE UNTIL 121,000. THAT WAS WHEN THEY DECLARED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. GM DOESN'T WANT TO COVER THE REPAIR NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OFWARRANTY. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND WAY TOO MANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THESE MODEL VEHICLES. GM REALLY SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS CONCERN. I ADVISE ANYONE TO PESTER GM ABOUT THIS CONCERN. AFTERALL, WE ARE THE CONSUMERS. UNFORTUNATELY IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME, I DON'T TRUST THEIR PRODUCTS ANYMORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, A LOUD WHINING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN MAINTAINING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE ROAD SHOULDER, POWERED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE LINE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 175,284.

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR, DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE INSIDE WEARS ABNORMALLY. SUSPECT REAR WHEEL SPINDLE ROD, WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR POLICE MODEL BUT NOT CIVILIAN MODEL FOR REAR WHEEL MISALIGNMENT. DANGER OF WEAR NOT BEING NOTICED SINCE IT IS EXCESSIVE ON THE INSIDE OF TIRE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TIRE BLOW OUT AND CRASH. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DISPLAY READ REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND RESISTED AS I ACCELERATED. I CAN ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR. THERE IS NO WARNING AND THERE IS A DECREASE IN ACCELERATION. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I HAVE MY CHILD IN THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

SLIP IN TORQUE CONVERSION AROUND 30 TO 45. ALSO, YOU'LL BE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP AND WHEN YOU START TO PRESS THE GAS IT DELAYS, THEN SLAMS INTO MOTION ALMOST LIKE BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. * DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON FOR NO REASON, MY TIRE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL EVEN WHEN THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TIRES, MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON I GOT IT SERVICED AND ITS STILL ON , MY SEAT BELTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY , MY HEAT AND AIR DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AS WELL THERE'S SO MUCH WRONG WITH MY CAR AND I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY FIXING IT AND THE SAME PROBLEMS STILL OCCUR. *TR

RETURNING HOME FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE NOTICED IT TOOK HIGHER RPMS TO GET UP TO THE 65MPH SPEED LIMIT. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE VEHICLE COULD THEN ONLY GET UP TO 40MPH AND LOST POWER DOWN TO 10MPH WHEN I PULLED OVER AND CALLED IT A DAY. CURRENTLY AT THE SHOP WITH 10 DIFFERENT CODES SHOWING. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE HAD IT JSUT OVER 5 YEARS AND NOT IN WARRANTY ANY MORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 0 TO 20 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY SHEKE FORWARD WHEN TRYING TO REACH FIRST GEAR.

SINCE I HAVE HAD MY IMPALA I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CA. THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT I NOTICED WAS THAT MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID STOP COMING OUT AFTER ON HAVING THE CAR A FEW MONTHS, I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE MOTOR HAD GONE OUT. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT IM HAVING IS THAT THE CHECK TIRE SERVICE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON EVEN AFTER, TIRES HAVE BEEN FILLED AND REPLACED, I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT ON OCCASIONS MANY OF THE OTHER SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON LIKE CHECK AIRBAGS, AND BRAKES EVEN AFTER CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID HAS BEGUN TO LEAK OUT MY CAR AND NO ONE NOT EVEN THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE OR WHY ITS LEAKING. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO HESITATE AND JERK UPON ACCELERATION. READING A LOT OF THE FORUMS OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THESE PROBLEMS AND I THINK THAT AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE ON THE IMPALA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE REDUCE POWER WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHENEVER THE MESSAGE ILLUMINATED, SHE WOULD HAVE TO RESPOND RAPIDLY AND MERGE OFF THE ROADWAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 134,930.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASED AS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED TO ENGAGE IN GEAR BUT ONCE IT DID, IT WOULD SHIFT HARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TCC VALVE WAS LEAKING, CAUSING TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK OUT OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

EXITING THE DARTMOUTH STREET PARKING GARAGE (UNDERGROUND) ON DARTMOUTH ST. BOSTON, MA. EXIT RAMP IS A MODERATE INCLINE. AS I APPROACHED THE GARAGE ATTENDANT BOOTH TO PAY PARKING FEE, I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR LETTING THE CAR COAST TO A STOP WHILE I RETRIEVED THE PARKING TIME/DATE RECEIPT. WHEN I LOCATED THE RECEIPT (ABOUT 5 SECONDS) FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE I LOOKED UP TO FIND THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE RAMP TOWARD A CONCRETE WALL (BY THIS TIME) APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. NOTE: I AM A 50 YEAR OLD, (MALE) RETIRED POLICE OFFICE AND WAS TRAINED IN RADAR SPEED ENFORCEMENT INCLUDING CERTIFIED IN SPEED ESTIMATION AND I AM ALSO "EVOC" (EMERGENCY VEHICLE OPERATOR COURSE) TRAINED. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE HITTING THE WALL, ANOTHER VEHICLE, OR ANY PEDESTRIANS. I FEEL A TRAGEDY COULD HAVE OCCURRED HAD SOMEONE BEEN WALKING IN THE GARAGE. THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE NO ABILITY TO "HILL HOLD" WHEN IN "DRIVE" AT IDLE. I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW FAST THE AUTO ACCELERATED BACKWARD. I HAVE PERSONALLY DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 750,000+ MILES WITHOUT AN AT FAULT COLLISION. THE CAR SEEMS TO DO THIS WHENEVER ON AN INCLINE AND ON A FEW OTHER OCCASIONS HAD OCCURRED IN PARKING LOTS ROLLING (FORWARD AS WELL AS BACKWARD) AS SOON AS SHIFTED OUT OF "PARK" IN THE FRACTION OF A SECOND TIME THAT IT TAKES TO MOVE MY DRIVING FOOT (RIGHT) FROM BRAKE (DUE TO PARK INTERLOCK) TO ACCELERATOR. NOTE: THIS AUTO IS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA SS WITH 5.3L V8 ENGINE AND FOUR SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THAT IMPALAS ARE GENERALLY DRIVEN BY ELDERLY DRIVERS WITH SLOWER REFLEXES THAN MYSELF. I HAVE FURTHER FOUND NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUM DISCUSSIONS OF THIS ISSUE BY OWNERS OF ALL ENGINE EQUIPPED CHEVROLET IMPALAS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH THE REAR PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

REAR WHEELS CANTER ARE OUT OF SPEC AND CANNOT BE SET PROPERLY RESULTING IN WHEEL WEAR AND TIRE REPLACEMENT 5000 MILES INTO NEW TIRES.

I BOUGHT MY CAR USED WITH 40,000 MILE ON IT. THE TIRES WERE PERFECT WHEN I BOUGHT IT. 9,000 MILES LATER, MY FRONT TIRES KEPT GOING FLAT. I LOOKED AT THEM AND THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE TIRES WERE WORN THROUGH. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL TIRE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THE TIRES WORE LIKE THAT DUE TO A BAD ALIGNMENT. MY STEERING SEEMED FINE. THE MANAGER OF THE SHOP CAME OUT TO TELL ME THAT MANY OF HIS CUSTOMERS WITH IMPALAS HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. A EXTRA LONG FACTORY INSTALLED CAMBER BOLT CAUSES THE VEHICLES TO BECOME UN ALIGNED, AND CAUSES EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE TIRES. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY IMPALA 3.5 LT IN 2011. SOON DISCOVERED THE BACK END SHIFTS WHEN GOING OVER ROUGH, UNEVEN ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. IT ALSO SHIFTS WHEN GOING OVER MANHOLE COVERS. WHEN DRIVING IN MN SNOW AND ICE, IT IS VERY UNSETTLING TO HAVE THE BACK-END FISHTAIL. I'VE COMPLAINED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND GM MOTORS HQ. I SOON LEARNED OF THE PROBLEMS AND EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS THAT OTHER 2007 CHEVY IMPALA OWNERS ARE HAVING WITH THIS CAR. THE OTHER DAY MY SON USED MY CAR TO RUN AN ERRAND AND EVEN HE NOTICED THAT THE BACK-END IS FAULTY. I'VE HAD THIS CAR ALIGNED TWO TIMES WITHIN SIX MONTHS. I AM FRUSTRATED THAT THE LOCAL DEALER WILL NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK AND ALSO THAT GM MOTORS HQ WILL NOT FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT'S NOT SAFE, THUS LIMITING ANY FREEWAY DRIVING, ESPECIALLY IN WINTER. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED 9 MONTHS AGO AND PUT NEW TIRES ON IT, ONE OF THE REAR TIRES BLEW OUT ON THE INSIDE WHERE IT WAS WORN DOWN THE TO STEEL AND THE OTHER IS DOWN TO SHOWING STEEL AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. IT IS ONLY THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES AND IT NOT VISIBLE WHEN APPROACHING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON "POLICE" IMPALA'S BUT NOT THE STANDARD IMPALA BUT FROM A SHORT SEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENCE BUT VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MALFUNCTION THAT IS GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME..I NOTICED A SCRUBBING/GRUMBLING NOISE WHEN I WOULD TURN THE WHEEL EITHER WAY LEFT OR RIGHT. AFTER VEHICLE BEING PUT ON MACHINE FOR TESTING IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE UPPER STRUT MOUNTS AND BEARING WERE WORN AND NOISY ON FRONT STRUTS......ALSO MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BOTH CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND WOULD NOT GO OFF, THE INFORMATION SYSTEM IN VEHICLE RECOMMENDED BRAKES BE SERVICE.....THE RESULTS FROM CAR BEING TESTED SHOWED BOTH FRONT HUBS HAVE SLACK AND BOTH FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HARNESS ARE COMING APART INSIDE WIRE INSTALLATION.

I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR DOWN ANY STEEP GRADE. GOING DOWN CUESTA GRADE AND APPLYING BRAKES, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. WE HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT AT A DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE ROTORS. WE THEN HAD THEM TURNED FRONT AND BACK AND GOT A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. THAT DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. WE THEN HAD A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE AND REPLACED THE BRAKES. NO DIFFERENCE. THAT IS WHEN WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO REPLACE OUR TIRES. THE REAR WERE WEARING OUT AT VERY FAST. THEY LASTED UNDER 20K MILES. WE ARE NOW ON OUR THIRD SET. IT'S TOO BAD GM WILL NOT RECALL 2007/2008 IMPALAS. ONLY THE POLICE VERSION.THIS IS NOT RIGHT. OUR REAR SPINDLES AND FRONT UPPER/LOWER CONTROL ARMS SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST TO US. IF NOT WHO WOULD BOTHER BUYING THIS CAR WHEN WE SELL IT? *TR

THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES AND CHEVY DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. THE ISSUE IS RANDOM JERKING OF THE TRANSMISSION UPON TAKING OFF IN TRAFFIC, AT LIGHT, OR FROM STAND STILL HAS CAUSED: (A) MY WHEELS TO SPIN, (B) THE CAR TO PULL INTO THE NEXT LANE, (C) ALMOST REAR-END COLLISION WITH CAR IN FRONT, AND (D) SUDDEN RAPID ACCELERATION IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR I ALMOST REAR-ENDED WAS A 2007 CHEVY POLICE IMPALA THE OFFICER EXITED HIS CAR ASKED WAS THERE A PROBLEM I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND HE STATED "YEA MINE DOES THAT TOO THIS CAR ISN'T A SAFE ONE" THIS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED NATIONALLY. *TR

MY IMPALA'S SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHTS CAME ON 05/07/12 AND I LOSS POWER TO MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT SERVICED, I WAS TOLD AFTER THEY DIAGNOSED IT THAT I NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY SO I HAD IT REPLACED FOR THE COST OF $647.00 1 WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME AND MY CAR LOSS POWER AND SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY LUCKILY I WASN'T IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO RESTART IT AND WHITE SMOKE CAME FROM THE TAILPIPE SO I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME AFTER LOOKING @ IT THAT NOW I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST ME $6200 I DIDN'T GET ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD OR ANY OTHER INDICATION THAT I WAS HAVING ENGINE TROUBLE AND THEY CANT TELL ME WHY IT HAPPENED. I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED LIKE CLOCKWORK @ THE DEALERSHIP SPENDING GOOD MONEY FOR SUPPOSEDLY GOOD QUALITY SERVICE INSTEAD OF SOME RINKY DINK GARAGE BUT I GUESS THAT DIDN'T MATTER. THIS HAPPENED JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAVE 9100 MILES AND 3 CAR PAYMENTS LEFT. *TR

2007 IMPALA SS THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE APRIL 2011 AND BOUGHT WITH 24,000 MILES.THE PROBLEM IS WITH REAR TIRES ON THE CAR WEARING WITIHIN ONE MONTH AFTER REPLACING, THE INSTALATION OF TIRES IS FOLLOWED BY A PROFESSIONAL ALIGNMENT AND THE TIRES STILL WEAR DOWN TO THE WIRES. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES AND ALIGNMENTS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAVE NOT YET FOUND A FIX OTHER THAN TIRES AND ALIGNMENT. DOCUMENTS HAVE INDICATED THAT THERE ARE BAD REAR SPINDLE RODS ON THE REAR OF THE CAR THAT GM HAS AKNOWLEDGED ARE PRESENT AND GM FAILED TO REPAIR THEM ON ALL 2007-2008 IMPALAS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF POLICE VEHICLES (APPROXIMATELY 23,000 POLICE DUTY CARS OUT OF 450,000+ AFFECTED). GM WILL NOT REPLACE THESE UNDER WARRANTY AND I CANNOT FIND A REPAIR FOR THE ISSUE. THE CAR WILL SLIP OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITHIN A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS AND CAUSE VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS IF DRIVEN ON RAIN, SNOW OR ANY SLIPPERY SURFACE, CAUSING THE CAR TO SWAY IN THE REAR, HYDROPLANE AND EVEN LOSE CONTROL. THIS IS AN ENOURMOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR IMPALA OWNERS AND ALSO OTHER DRIVERS THAT MAY HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *JS

INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". MY IMPALA IS STARTING TO RUMBLE AND JOSTLE WHEN THESE WARNINGS APPEAR. HOWEVER, I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE REASON. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING AN ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE PANEL "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN AS IF THE ENGINE HAD CUT-OFF COMPLETELY. IT DID NOT AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT ABOUT 10 MPH. LUCKILY IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT, THE FEW CARS THAT WERE DRIVING NEAR ME WERE ABLE TO CHANGE LANES BEFORE A COLLISION OCCURRED. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 CHEVY IMPALA, WHICH IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. (LAST 8 OF VIN #[XXX]) I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS STARTING WITH THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT." WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL IN VIRGINIA THE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO A GM DEALER IN VIRGINIA FOR A WEEK, THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AND A WEEK LATER IT CAME BACK ON. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AGAIN, HOWEVER IT ONCE AGAIN CAME BACK ON. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T LET ME ACCELERATE OVER 25 MPH AND I NEEDED TO GET HOME TO NEW YORK. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" AGAIN AND BROUGHT IT TO A GM DEALER IN NEW YORK, WHO SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THIS PROBLEM. LAST WEEK THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITH THE MESSAGE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" ONCE AGAIN AND THE CAR STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT-OFF. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I WAS STOPPED ON A 60MPH HIGHWAY WITH CARS JUST MISSING ME. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AS A COLLEGE STUDENT TRYING TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE WHICH STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND NOW HAS BECOME AN INCONVENIENCE, A TOLL ON MY BANK ACCOUNT, AS WELL AS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR TO WORK EVERYDAY NOW, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED POWER IS STILL ON. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AT SEVERAL MESSAGE BOARDS AND EVERYONE HAS SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. CLEARLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ERROR AND AS A SAFETY MEASURE GM SHOULD REALLY PLACE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR IS SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THIS. I APPRECIATE YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THIS INCONVENIENCE AND SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU, INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IT HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE FOLLOWING VEHICLES: 2009 PONTIAC G6 SPORT 2 (MINE) 37,900 MILES, AND WAS BOUGHT NEW. 2008 PONTIAC G6 SPORT 2 (ROOM-MATES) CAR WAS PURCHASED USED AND HAS 50,076 MILES ON IT. 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA LT (ROOM-MATES MOMS) 60,000 MILES THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN, IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. THIS IS ONLY ONE OF MANY ISSUES WE HAVE HAD WITH THESE THREE CARS. THE OTHER MAJOR ONE IS THAT THE HEAD GASKETS ON THESE CARS DO NOT HOLD UP, AND GM IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. MINE IS IN THE SHOP NOW ALSO FOR A HEAD GASKET (07 IMPALA). WHY IS THERE NO HELP FOR GM CAR OWNERS? GM IS NOT HELPING! JUST SCREWING US OUT OF MONEY! *TR

DURING THE COURSE OF OWNING THIS IMPALA SINCE IT WAS NEW, IT HAS HAD 12 REPLACEMENT TIRES INSTALLED IN ORDER TO CORRECT A VIBRATION PROBLEM, WHICH IS FELT AT OR AROUND 55 MPH. IT HAS TAKEN APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES FOR EACH OF THE TIRES TO WEAR UNEVENLY. EACH TIME A TIRE WAS REPLACED, I WAS GIVEN AN EXPLANATION THAT THE DEFECTIVE TIRE WAS NO LONGER ROUND (EGG SHAPED) AND WOULD NOT PROPERLY BALANCE. A MAJORITY OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRES WERE FROM THE REAR OF THE IMPALA. THE LAST REPLACEMENT TIRES WERE INSTALLED ON 06-28-10 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 26,264 MILES ON IT. DURING THE DOZENS OF VISITS TO MULTIPLE CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPTS, NO MECHANICAL SUSPENSION PARTS WERE REPLACED. I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE GENERAL MOTORS EXECUTIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE (GMECSO) FOR YEARS AND HAVE DEALT WITH MULTIPLE REPRESENTATIVES. THE IMPALA AGAIN HAS A VIBRATION, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE VEHICLE SERVICED. GMECSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY WANTED ME TO TAKE THE IMPALA TO A DIFFERENT CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT IF I NEEDED TO GET THE CAR LOOKED AT FOR ISSUES REGARDING THE TIRES. SINCE 02-05-12, I HAVE MADE 5 PHONE CALLS TO THE GMECSO AND HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALL BACK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER CRASH. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED NECK, AS WELL AS OTHER INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN IMPOUND AND DECLARED AS DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 93,000.

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE WITH MY TWO CHILDREN. THE POWER STEERING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY IN THE RAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE POWER ASSIST COMES AND GOES QUICKLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO JERK THE WHEEL WHEN THE PWER ASSIST RETURNS. I REPLACED THE SERPENTINE BELT TWO MONTHS AGO FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT WAS FINE FOR A WHILE. I HAVE OVER 30 YEARS OF AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS DANGEROUS. THERE IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THE POWER ASSIST BELT, TENSIONER OR A PULLEY. THIS IS NOT THE OTHER CONCERN WITH THE CLUNKING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. *TR

MASSIVE REAR TIRE PREMATURE WEAR CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND DEFECTIVE TRI-COILED REAR SPRINGS, TRAILING ARMS, AND SPINDLE RODS. *TR

I NOTICED THINGS ABOUT MY CAR BUT IGNORED THEM BECAUSE I THOUGHT, THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING I WOULD NOTICE THAT MY CAR WOULD SLIDE A LOT WHEN THERE WAS SNOW/ICE/RAIN ON THE GROUND. AS IF IT WASN'T SITTING ON THE GROUND PROPERLY. I WOULD LOOK AT IT FROM THE REAR AT A DISTANCE AND IT ALWAYS SEEMED TO SLANT/DROOP AT AN ANGLE. ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF OF OWNERSHIP WHILE GETTING MY OIL CHANGED A SERVICE TECH FROM AN AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I HAD EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND STATED THAT I NEEDED ALL NEW TIRES. NOTE HE NEVER STATED THAT I NEEDED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT OR THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBLE RECALL NOTICE THAT WE COULD FIX WHILE YOUR CAR IS STILL UNDER. HE JUST WANTED TO SELL ME TIRES. FROM DOING MY RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE I AM NOT ALONE WITH THE ISSUE OF EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. LOOKS LIKE GM IS ALSO AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THERE IS A GM BULLETIN 08032 BUT GM ONLY STATES THAT GOVERNMENT CARS ARE AFFECTED. I KNOW OF SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT WORK ON GM ASSEMBLY LINES AND THEY WILL STATE THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE, SO WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR GM TO KNOWING KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS NOT CORRECT ON THESE CARS AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HOW MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST OR HAVE TO BE LOST FOR GM TO CALL A RECALL AND FIX THE ISSUE ON THESE CARS. UPDATE 2/22/2012: I HAVE GOTTEN THE "NEEDED" "SPECIAL" WHEEL ALIGNMENT BUT AM STILL CONSTANTLY REPLACING TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN ON MY CAR NOT EVEN A YEAR. WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN. NOT REPUTABLE AND DOING THE RIGHT THING WHICH IS TO CORRECTLY FIX OVER 400,000 CARS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND TO AVOID A HEAD ON CRASH I HAD SWERVED AND WENT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT BUT NOTICED THE OTHER DRIVER WAS STILL HEADING FOR ME I HAD BRAKED AND LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAD FLEW OVER A DITCH AND WENT UP A HILL AND ROLLED BACK DOWN. WE HAD OUR SEAT BELTS ON I WAS KNOCKED OUT BY MY HEAD BANGING ON THE STEERING WHEEL. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. IN A CRASH LIKE THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. WE ENDED UPSIDE DOWN. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT CONTROL SOLENOID SWITCH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000. UPDATED 02/28/12 *BF

RECENTLY BOUGHT 2007 CHEVY IMPALA FOR SON. THIS CAR CANNOT STAY ON THE ROAD IN WET/SNOW CONDITIONS. IT FISHTAILS AND IS SCARY TO DRIVE. I'VE LIVED IN WISCONSIN ALL MY LIFE AND DROVE MANY DIFFERENT CARS BUT NEVER A CAR AS DANGEROUS AS THIS. *TR
