NHTSA Complaint #10578873 — 2003 CHEVROLET IMPALA

LAST FRIDAY I GOT IN MY CAR AROUND 2:30AM AND IT WOULDN'T START. I THANK GOD I WAS ON A SOMEWHAT SAFE STREET AND WITH FRIENDS. MY CAR WOULDN'T START FOR 15-20 MINUTES. THE LIGHTS, RADIO AND EVERYTHING ELSE WORKED BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THIS WAS HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT THEN IT STOPPED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET IT REPLACED SO I JUST DEALT WITH IT. AS I STATED BEFORE, IT'S BEEN MONTHS SINCE THE LAST OCCURRENCE THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE GM RECALL HOPING THEY WILL INCLUDE THE IMPALA BECAUSE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD LIGHTS UP (CHECK ENGINE, CHECK BATTERY) AND THE ALL THE THINGS THAT LIGHT UP ON THE DASHBOARD WHEN YOU FIRST START THE CAR. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE ANOTHER FATALITY OCCURS. *TR
