NHTSA Complaint #10592794 — 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA

I HAVE OWNED MY IMPALA SINCE MARCH 2010 AND WHILE IT IS AN ATTRACTIVE CAR, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. FIRST MONTH A SENSOR GOES OUT IN THE ACCELERATION, $230 TO REPLACE, IN THE LAST 2 YEARS WE HAVE HAD AN ANNOYING TICKING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR ON SOMETHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE AC/HEATER. SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE SAYS THAT IT IS COMMON IN IMPALAS BUT YET I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL. I DON'T HAVE THE $450 TO FIX AND IT IS RATHER EMBARRASSING WHEN YOU CAR POOL AS IT IS VERY LOUD AND LAST APPROXIMATELY 30SECONDS TO 45 SECONDS. I HAVE ALSO HAD LEAKS EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR WE GO TO THE CAR WASH. WATER SEEMS TO BE COMING IN FROM THE FRAME BY THE WINDSHIELD ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER ROOF AREA. IT RUNS DOWN AND COMES OUT BY THE BRAKE ON DRIVER SIDE AND FUSE BOX ON PASSENGER SIDE. I THOUGHT THIS WATER WAS AFFECTING MY POWER LOCKS AS IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE HAD ISSUE WITH OUR DOOR LOCKS NOT OPENING. THEY TAKE TURNS, NOT UNLOCKING BUT AFTER READING COMMENTS ON THIS WEB PAGE SEEMS LIKE OTHERS ARE ALSO HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH LOCKS, YET NO RECALL. I HAVE TAKEN IT DOWN TO BE LOOKED AT BUT THEY SAY THEY DON'T SEE ANY ISSUES THEY CAN PIN POINT. DON'T HAVE ANY MORE MONEY TO PUT INTO THIS VEHICLE. I LIKE MY CAR BUT IT HAS ISSUES. I WILL DO MY HOME WORK BEFORE I PURCHASE MY NEXT CAR. *TR
