NHTSA Complaint #10587053 — 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA

AT ABOUT 91000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP (NOT SHIFTING RIGHT, NOT GOING INTO ANY GEAR ETC.) IT FINALLY WOULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL UNLESS I TURNED THE CAR OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AND WOULD THEN DRIVE FOR ABOUT 2-5 MINUTES THEN ALL THE GEARS WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP THINKING IT WAS JUST A CENSOR AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED/REPAIRED. IT COST ME ALMOST $3000 TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE READ ON HERE AND ONLINE THAT THE 2006 CHEVY IMPALA HAS HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THIS. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AND WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO GET AT LEAST A LITTLE REFUND ON THE COST. ALSO I HAVE TRIED ABOUT EVERYTHING TO GET THE PASSENGER SIDE BODY SIDE MOLDING TO STAY ON AND PEOPLE I HAVE TALKED TO STATE THAT THEY HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THAT ONE STAYING ON. IT CATCHES MY DOOR IF I DON'T REMEMBER TO PUSH IT IN BEFORE OPENING THE DOOR. IT IS GOING TO COST ME $50.79 PLUS SHIPPING TO GET A NEW ONE OF THESE AS WELL. THE THIRD THING I HAVE WRONG IS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS IN THE FRONT END BECAUSE OF MY ABS TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR BEING MESSED UP! *TR
