NHTSA Complaint #10367629 — 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA

1. MY FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. ALL THE OTHER GAUGES KEPT WORKING. THE NEEDLE WAS POINTING DOWN AND WOULD MOVE AT THE BOTTOM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON AND OFF. I SPENT 400.00 TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHICH APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM AS LISTED ON THE COMPLAINTS SECTION. 2. I PURCHASED A 2005 CHEV IMPALA 01/2006 WITH15,00 MILES ON IT. I STARTED TO NOTICE A BIT OF A HARD SHIFTING ON TAKE OFF, ONLY AFTER DRIVING IT IN THE CITY AFTER ABOUT THE 2ND YEAR OF DRIVING. THE PROBLEM NEVER LEFT, IN FACT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR IS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND ONLY SEEMS TO DO IT IF YOU DID A A LOT OF START AND STOPPING AND YOU COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR 10 MIN. OR SO THEN IT WON'T DO IT AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WOULD GO FOR SEVERAL DAYS OR WEEKS BEFORE IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN OR WILL DO IT SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. WHEN I HAD THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED I HAD THEM CHECK FOR CODES AND FOUND A P1811.
