Consumer Description

CAR RANDOMLY DOESN'T START. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR(6 MOS AGO) I REPLACED THE STARTER HAVING NO IDEA THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO MANY IMPALA OWNERS IF NOT ALL OF THEM. STARTED FINE FOR 2 WEEKS AND IT'S BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE. SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR DOESN'T START IT TRIPS THE PASSLOCK AND I HAVE TO WAIT ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 30MINS BEFORE IT RESETS IN ORDER TO TRY STARTING AGAIN. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR AND AT QUICK STOPS I HAVE TO LEAVE IT RUNNING TO BE SURE I WON'T GET STUCK THERE FOR 30 MINS OR SO. I'VE ALSO BEEN STUCK AT GAS STATIONS WAITING 10 TO 30 MINS(AT THE PUMP) FOR IT TO START AGAIN (VERY EMBARRASSING). AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ I'M AFRAID TO SPEND ANYMORE MONEY ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
