NHTSA Complaint #10547512 — 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA

WAS DRIVING IN TO WORK. STOPPED AT MCDONALD'S AND NOTICED CAR SMOKING. DROVE ACROSS THE STREET TO MY JOB TO MY DASH BOARD LIGHTING UP WARNING ME TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. I DID EXACTLY THAT (SHUT THE CAR OFF) AND WENT INSIDE TO CALL FOR HELP. THIS IS THE 3RD PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR AND I HAVE HAD THE CAR ALMOST 4 YEARS. LIKE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS, MY HEAT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY, I'M GOING THROUGH OIL LIKE CRAZY, AND I SEEM TO BE HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS IT HARD TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND INTO DRIVE AND WHEN IT DOES FINALLY GO, I GET WHIPLASH FROM THE JERK. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP BEFORE SOMEONE IS SEVERELY HURT. *TR
