THE SHIFT GEAR GETS STUCK IN PARK. IT WON'T MOVE. I HAD TO REMOVE BODY WHERE THE GEAR SHIFT IS AND SAW IT WAS A WIRE THAT WAS LOOSE. IT HAPPEN LAST YEAR ALSO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SUDDENLY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SPEED REDUCED GET A REDUCED POWER/TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE AND SPEED DROP TO 40 IN MATTER OF SECONDS ENGINE RUNNING VERY ROUGH. ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS HAPPENING AT THE MORNING RUSH HOUR ON COMMUTE TO WORK. I LOOKED ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT.

WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTED TO JERK AND HESITATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A MESSAGE OF REDUCED ENGINE POWER. COULD NOT DRIVE THE DRIVE OVER 5 MPH. WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO PUSH THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT AS THE ENGINE WILL NO LONGER START BUT CRANKS OVER FINE. HAD TO BUY A SCANNER TO READ THE CODE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE TO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP OR AUTO PARTS STORE TO READ THE CODES. THE PO641 CODE WAS SET. CHECKED AND TESTED THE SENSOR WIRES FOR THE 5VOLTS EVERY ONE THAT I TESTED SHOWED OK. REPLACED THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLE BECAUSE OF THE CODE THAT COULD BE A SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM NO DIFFERENCE. CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT NO CHANGE CAR WILL NOT START.CHECKED AND GAVE ALL THE WIRES A GOOD PULL AND...

THE HEAT ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR DURING ACCELERATION. ONCE IDLE, THE WARM AIR TURNS ICE COLD. MY CAR WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TO BE REPAIRED AND EVERY TIME, IT WOULD WORK PROPERLY FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GO BACK TO NOT WORKING. AFTER THE 3RD "FIX" (THE "FIX" WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY TIME), THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I JUST MUST KNOW NOT HOW TO WORK MY HEAT BECAUSE I "KEEP BREAKING IT". THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE AND EVEN THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO CORRECTLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM!! *TR

LET THE CAR SIT FOR 24 HOURS THE BATTERY DIED AND THE KEY RELEASED OUT OF THE IGNITION. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 5, 2014 AND THE SHIFTER WIRES WERE RE CONSTRUCTED. CAR STILL ACTS AS IF THE SHIFTER IS NOT GOING TO SHIFT. *TR

I WAS GOING OVER THE VEHICLE FOR THE SEASON AND FOUND I HAD A LEAK IN THE POWER STEERING LINE. THE LINE EFFECTED WAS COVERED WITH A RIBBED PLASTIC SHEATHING LIKE WHAT IS USED FOR A WIRE HARNESSES. THE SHEATHING CAUSED ROAD SALT TO BUILD UP AND CORRODE THE LINE, CAUSING A LEAK AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THERE WERE TWO LINES HELD TOGETHER, SIDE BY SIDE, WITH A PLASTIC BRACKET BUT ONLY ONE OF THOSE HAD THE SHEATHING AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT WAS THERE. I ALSO FOUND A WIRE THAT OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE INSULATION AND LEFT THE WIRE BARE. IT'S LOCATED BEHIND THE POWER STEERING PUMP AS VIEWED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE PLASTIC THAT DISPLAYS THE ENGINE SIZE. THE PLASTIC IS HELD DOWN WITH A COUPLE OF PINS THAT THE PLASTIC PUSHES DOWN OVER WHEN INSTALLED. THE DEALER COULDN'T TELL...

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON FOR NO REASON, MY TIRE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL EVEN WHEN THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TIRES, MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON I GOT IT SERVICED AND ITS STILL ON , MY SEAT BELTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY , MY HEAT AND AIR DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AS WELL THERE'S SO MUCH WRONG WITH MY CAR AND I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY FIXING IT AND THE SAME PROBLEMS STILL OCCUR. *TR

SINCE I HAVE HAD MY IMPALA I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CA. THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT I NOTICED WAS THAT MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID STOP COMING OUT AFTER ON HAVING THE CAR A FEW MONTHS, I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE MOTOR HAD GONE OUT. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT IM HAVING IS THAT THE CHECK TIRE SERVICE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON EVEN AFTER, TIRES HAVE BEEN FILLED AND REPLACED, I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT ON OCCASIONS MANY OF THE OTHER SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON LIKE CHECK AIRBAGS, AND BRAKES EVEN AFTER CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID HAS BEGUN TO LEAK OUT MY CAR AND NO ONE NOT EVEN THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE OR WHY ITS LEAKING. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO HESITATE AND JERK UPON ACCELERATION. READING A LOT OF THE FORUMS OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING...

ON MONDAY AUGUST 7,2012 I STARTED EXPERINCING PROBLEMS WITHMY CAR NOT STARTING SO WE REPLACED THE BATTERY. THEN SAT. AUGUST 12, 2012 MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. AFTER I GOT JUMPED WE DROVE IT HOME ONLY TO REALIZE THE CAR WA GOING ONLY 30 MPH. HAVING TO CLIMB HILL WAS VERY FUSTRATING. TOOK IT TO O'RIELLY AND THE COMPUTER READ P0606 WHICH HAS TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE MODULES. ALSO ALL THE ELECTRICAL INSIDE THE CAR IS GOING HAYWIRE, KEY STUCK IN IGNITION, AND HAS TO LOCK DOORS AUTOMACTIALLY DUE TO KEYPAD NOT WORKING.
