2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA Electrical System Problems

I got a P2138 code for Accelerator Pedal Sensor error. From what I have seen this is caused by the two sensors not matching. I have repaired this issue previously about 3 years ago, but it has happened again. This seems to be a common issue with GM cars of this era.

5.3l v8 model needs to be added to the PI1384A campaign. recently fried my fuseblock because the relays melted. i am an ase certified technician For Firestone complete auto care, this is the exact problem that all ls4s will face.

FUEL SYSTEM; CODE P0230. CAM/CRANKSHAFT; solenoid circuit in BANK 1 CODE P0010. RADIO WIRING; Radio is smoking all the time BAD GROUND WIRE OR SHORT IN WIRES. MY VEHICAL STOPPED WHILE I WAS IN DRIVE MOTION GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. No injuries, and No fatalities BUT MY IMPALA STOPPED RUNNING AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO START IT SINCE. IN ADDITION NO ONE HAD GOT HURT, I WAS IN OPEN ROAD. I HAVE NOT HAD MY THE VEHICAL SERVICED OR DIAGNOSED BY A SERVICE CENTER. DUE TO A NO CRANK/NO START CONDITION. IT WILL NOT MOVE. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, WE HAD THE MIL on the dash say POWER ENGINE REDUCED. THAT'S WHEN AT HIGH SPEED ON FREEWAYS OR EXTENSIVE DRIVING PATTERNS.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE PROBLEMS OF NOT GIVING ME CORRECT READINGS FROM THE GAUGES WHEN MY CAR WAS RUNNING HOT IT NEVER DISPLAYED ANY INDICATION THAT IT WAS WHICH CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE IN MY CAR THROWING A ROD I ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCE AND STILL DO WHEN I TURN ON MY SIGNALS MY BRIGHT LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL AS SOMETIMES WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR THE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON BUT WHEN I CLOSE THE DOOR THEY DO MY MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY CAR ARE NOT STABLE THIS WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME IT SHIFTED NOW NOT FROM WEAR AND TEAR BECAUSE I HAD AN INSPECTION DONE ON THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND RECEIVED A CLEAN BILL OF IMMACULATE CARE AND HEALTH OF THE VEHICLE IN LESS THAN 8 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN IN NOTHING BUT ONE DISASTER AFTER THE NEXT I'M...

IT JUST BEEN A LIKE A REAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEM LIKE IF I PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC IS STALLED IT HESITATE IT HAS BEEN HIT A FEW TIMES LIKE THAT AND LIKE IT JUST HAVE TO GET A JUMP OFF EVERY MORNING AND EVERY EVENING JUST TO GO ANYWHERE AND I TRULY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I'M TAKING BACK TO THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM ME AT LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT AND I'M TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND THEY SAY IT'S ELECTRICAL DEFECT IT IT'S GOING TO KILL THE WHOLE CAR AND IT'S GOING TO EVENTUALLY KILL ME

THE CHECK BATTERY SYSTEM LIGHT WAS ON FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS ,WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNT TO THE GROUND, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND STATE.POLICE SAID THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. IWAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND BARELY GOT OUT OF THE CAR BEFORE THE WHOLE CAR WAS UP IN FLAMES.

KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED INTO PARK AND POWERED OFF. I AM TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS DUE TO POOR WIRING.

TRYING TO PUT CAR IN GEAR ITS STUCK IN PARK ALL BECAUSE OF WIRING NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE GEAR SHUT THE WIRING IS WEAK AND BREAKS REAL EASY WHITCH IS A SAFETY HAZZARD BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN BE STUCK SOMEWHERE. THIS HAS HAPPEND ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO ME AND OTHERS I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THICKER WIRES.

REAR DEFROSTER WIRING UNDER FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAD SMOKED AND SMALL FIRE. CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. WAS JUST PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY SO I PULLED OF FUSE BOX COVER TO DISCOVER IT. WIRES MELTED. HAD NO FUSE IN THERE. BURNED OUT QUICKLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN WHEN PROMPTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE MOTORS IN THE DOORS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WIRE HARNESS CONNECTION BEHIND PASSENGERS SIDE KICKPLATE MELTING DUE TO REAR DEFROSTER WINDOW NOT HAVING A TIMER TO SHUT OFF. IT STAYS ON THE WHOLE DURATION OF HAVING THE DEFROSTERS ON WHICH IN TURN MELTS THE CONNECTION DUE TO NOT HAVING A INLINE FUSE. THE MELTING CONNECTION CAN CAUSE FIRE DUE TO ARCING CONNECTION.

THE CHEVROLET IMPALA I OWN HAS HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR.... THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL AREA IN THE FRONT HAS WENT HAYWIRE ON ME.... I CANNOT SIGNAL, OR TURN MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AT ANY TIME.... PLUS, IT WILL NOT START FOR ME WHEN I NEED IT TO, I ALWAYS HAVE TO GET A JUMP FROM SOMEONE, & THAT EVEN TAKES BETWEEN 10-20 MINUTES.... THE PLACE THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM, THE REPAIRMEN CANNOT FIX IT RIGHT FOR ME, IT IS NOT FAIR TO PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR MY CAR, WHICH WILL NOT WORK RIGHT... I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE MY SIGNALS FOR A VERY LONG TIME NOW, IT IS VERY, VERY FRUSTRATING TO ME.... I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE STREETS, THE HIGHWAY, EVEN AT WORK AFTER MY SHIFT, IT HAS EVEN STOPPED ON ME WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO &...

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR EARLIER TODAY IN THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS MAKING NOISE. SO I CHECK IT IT WAS EMPTY I FILLED IT UP WITH POWER STEERING FOULED.COME TO FIND OUT ITS A LEAK AGAIN. FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THAT THE LIGHTS BEEN FLICKERING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS THE CHECK BATTERY SYSTEM LIGHT WAS ON. THEN ONE DAY IT CUT OFF ON ME IN TRAFFIC. WHILE DRIVING .THEN AFTER A WHILE I GOT A JUMP BUT THE CAR DIDN'T STAY RUNNING ON ITS ON AFTER THE FIFTH TRY IT STAYED RUNNING.I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME NOW EVERY OTHER WEEK SO. I HAVE TO MESSING WITH CABLE CORD ON THE BATTERY TO GET THE CAR TO START. JUST SO HAPPENED TODAY MY ALTERNATOR. WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO CUT ALL THE WIRING OFF THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY JUST...

NEITHER OF THE TWO HORN BUTTONS ON THE STEARING WHEEL ACTIVATE THE HORN. EITHER THE BUTTONS DO NOT WORK OR THE HORN DOES NOT WORK.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY LOSSED POWER... THE CAR WOULDNT START UP UNLESS I UNPLUGGED THE BATTERY FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES. THE DASHBOARD READ ENGINE REDUCED POWER.. VERY SCARY SITUATION..I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE.

TAKATA RECALL MY WINDOWS STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER MY CAR SOME TIME DONT GO WHEN I PUSH THE GAS IT WILL JERK REAL HARD AND THEN SOME TIMES IT TAKES ALONG TIME TO BRAKE AND THIS BEEN A ON GOING THING BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY GAVE ME A HARD TIME ABOUT IF THERE WHERE ANY RECALLS ABOUT IT

ONGOING ISSUE WITH ERROR MESSAGE RELATING TO "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" APPEARED 4/10/2016. ONGOING HISTORY AND SERVICE RELATED TO THROTTLE POSITION AND SENSOR (ALSO SERVICED) CODES P2176; P 2135. 8/1/15 I HAVE ADDRESSED THROUGH REPLACING OF THROTTLE POSITION AND SENSOR; BATTERY CABLE (DEALERSHIP SVC DEPT SUGGESTED LOW VOLTAGE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE - RETESTED, ISSUE CONTINUES) PARTS STORE HAS SUGGESTED "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MODULE P 1516' CODES ALSO INCLUDE P0121, PO2135, P2119 FOUND PMC TO BE FAULTY -- "REPAIR AND REPLACED" 12/30/2014; THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY REPLACED ON APRIL 5, 2014. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR TWO YEARS. ENGINE POWER DROPS AND CAR WILL ONLY DRIVE AT A LOW SPEED < 40MPH. THIS IS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. VARIOUS ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THIS ISSUE BEGAN AT APX 140K MILES AND HAS REOCCURRED AT 166L, 167K, 180K, 193K. SPEEDS THAT IT...

MY CAR WON'T SHIFT FROM THE PARK POSITION, I HAD TO LIFT UP CONSOLE COVER AND PUSH RELEASE BUTTON IN ORDER TO AVOID PAYING FOR A TOW. FOUND OUT IT WAS THE WIRED CONNECTOR OR MODULE OR POSSIBLY WIRES THAT MOVE WHEN YOU SHIFT GEARS.

REAR DEFROST STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I LOOKED INTO WHY, I FOUND THE LARGE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR THATS BEHIND THE FRONT PASSENGER KICK PANEL TO BE COMPLETELY BURNT. THE CONNECTIONS ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT RATED HIGH ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE AMPS NEEDED. WHEN I LOOKED ON LINE THERE IS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS CIRCUIT IS ALSO NOT PROTECTED BY A FUSE. IT'S A MIRACLE THAT THIS DIDN'T BURN MY CAR TO THE GROUND. THIS IS A VERY LARGE PROBLEM WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF EFFECTED CARS. MINE WAS JUST A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND PARKED. ALSO BATTERY DRAINS EVERY YEAR.

AT START UP OF MY CAR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WOULD SAY SERVICE REQUIRED, BUT IT WOULD GO AWAY WHEN WE BUCKLED UP. WHEN IN A WEEK IT STARTED TO STAY ON. IT NO LONGER GOES AWAY. ALSO NOW Y WHEN I SHUT OFF MY CAR THE RADIO WILL STAY ON EVEN WHEN YOU OPEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND LOCK IT. I HAVE TO MANUALLY SHUT IT OFF.

HAD PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM DEALER IN ASHLAND VA BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2014. HAD NO CONCERNS ABOUT THE VEHICLE UNTIL FIRST TRIP NOT DRIVING VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND UPON RETURN VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. HAD JUMPED STARTED VEHICLE AND GOT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH WAS ON FOR THREE DAYS THEN CUT OFF. IN FEBRUARY 2015 HAD NOT DRIVEN VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEK PERIOD AND UPON RETURN VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. CHECKED BATTERY AND HAD REPLACED ALONG WITH CLEANING POSITIVE BATTERY POST FOR CORROSION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR TWO TO THREE DAYS THEN CUT OFF - CHECK CODE AT FIRESTONE DEALERSHIP SHOWED CODE P2135 - DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DETERMINE WHERE POSSIBLE POWER DRAINAGE COULD BE COMING FROM AND RECOMMENDED TO TAKE VEHICLE TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM TEST FOR POWER DRAINAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH IN VERY LIGHT RAIN WHEN THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE FOUR TIMES SUCCESSIVELY. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE THEN SEEMED TO DROP TO THE GROUND CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEIZE, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT TO FLASH AND THE BRAKES TO BECOME INOPERABLE.

IF CAR IS NOT STARTED DAILY. IT WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY AND REQUIRE A JUMP. FRIEND HAS SAME MAKE AND MODEL 2006 IMPALA LT. SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE INSTALLED NEW BATTERY EVERY YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY CAR SLOWED DOWN ONLY DRIVING 5 MPH... LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I JUST PUT A ENGINE IN THE CAR SO I KNOW THATS NOT THE PROBLEM I ALWAYS HAD THE TRANSMISSION WORKED ON IN THE PAST. *TR

AC BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR (THERE ARE 3 OF THEM) IS INSUFFICIENTLY DESIGNED TO HOLD UP TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE LOCATION OF THE SWITCHES MAKES MAINTENANCE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. IT WOULD BE ASSUMED THAT THE DESIGN WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO HOLD UP UNDER SEVERAL YEARS USE SINCE ACCESSIBILITY TO THESE PARTS IS VERY DIFFICULT. THE PARTS THEMSELVES COST ABOUT $27 (TWICE THAT AT THE DEALERSHIP) AT YOUR PARTS STORE BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND/OR INDEPENDENT MECHANICS CHARGE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS PART. MY CAR IS NOW 10 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 3 OF THESE SWITCHES AT LEAST TWICE AND THE MOST DIFFICULT TO GET TO SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES. IT SEEMS THAT THE ACTUAL LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THESE PARTS (IN ACTUAL USE) IS APPROXIMATELY +/- 15 MONTHS. *TR

I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 IMPALA OFF AND ON FOR THE LAST YEAR, MAYBE MORE. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY GIVE ME AN ERROR OF "ENGINE POWER REDUCED." THE CAR SLOWS TO A CRAWL, HAS NO ACCELERATION, THE ENGINE SHAKES AND IT SPUTTERS UNTIL THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS THE TPS SENSOR. HE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR RAN FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN IT STARTED AGAIN. SINCE I WAS GETTING THE SAME CODES, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT IT COULD BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY MY BATTERY, BUT THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL FOR SURE WITHOUT TROUBLESHOOTING. I HAVE SINCE BEEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, ALL WHO SAY THE CODES POINT TO THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT THEY ALSO AGREE THAT I SHOULDN'T...
