Consumer Description

AT RANDOM TIMES, STARTING FROM A STOP, MY 2007 CHEVY IMPALA LTZ CAR WILL SLOWLY ENGAGE 1ST GEAR AND THEN SUDDENLY ENGAGE WITH A STRONG JERK. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS OCCURRED WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, STARTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A WET ROAD, AND PULLING UP SLIGHT INCLINED DRIVEWAY INTO GARAGE. SEVERAL OF THESE TIMES I'VE LOST CONTROL BRIEFLY FROM MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL, DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED POWER OF THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGING AND JERKING. THE DEALER HAS MADE MULTIPLE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS AT REPAIRS THROUGHOUT 2008 UNTIL NOW. FROM READING ALL THE OWNER DISCUSSIONS AT EDMUNDS.COM I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME. *TR
