2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA Visibility Problems

MODERN VEHICLE DESIGN HAS INCREASED OCCUPANT SAFETY IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS COIN IS A DECREASED ABILITY TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. BLIND SPOTS CAUSED BY HUGE WINDSHIELD POSTS AND REAR VIEW MIRRORS (INSIDE AND OUT), HEADRESTS POKING UP AND A SEAT BELTS THAT HOLD YOU IN POSITION TO LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD....ALL THESE CONTRIBUTED TO OUR CAR HITTING A GUY-WIRE FOR A POWER POLE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE "SCENE" AND THE GUY-WIRE AND WINDSHIELD POST ARE EXACTLY THE SAME ANGLE, THE GUY-WIRE NOT BEING IN THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION. THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED RIGHT NOW (TO THE TUNE OF $1250.00, JUST FOR A HEADLIGHT AND TUPPERWARE BUMPER COVER). IT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF WE'D HAD THE SERVICES OF A NASCAR SPOTTER UP ON THE ROOF OF THE VFW! THERE.....I VENTED. *TR

I HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE (ALMOST THROUGH MY THIRD SET OF TIRES, OXYGEN SENSOR GOING AT 46,000 MILES, RUST BEGINNING AT 38,000 MILES {CAR WAS TWO YEARS OLD}, AND THE BATTERY GOING PREMATURELY). LAST WEEK, I ATTEMPTED TO PUT ON MY REAR DEFOGGER. THE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT MY REAR WINDSHIELD WAS STILL FOGGED UP. THE DEFROSTER ALSO DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR IF THE CAR IS IN PARK. *TR

ALL FOUR WINDOWS ON MY 2007 CHEVY IMPALA, IS GETTING BADLY SCRATCHED DUE TO THE GUIDES IT ROLLS ON OR STRIPPING INSIDE WINDOW,, LOOKS LIKE A DEFECT,, I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON DECEMBER 13 OF 2009,, AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW OF ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE,, AS I AM THE SECOND OWNER. *TR

CONSUMER'S 2007 CHEVY IMPALA HAS MANY ISSUES WITH BATTERY, MOTOR MOUNT, AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING. ELECTRONIC COMPONENT. *NJ THE CD CHANGER AND DRIVER SIDE SEAT MOTOR FAILED AS WELL. *JB

OWN 2007 CHEVY IMPALA. BESIDES OTHER PROBLEMS, OUR FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED MAKING A BAD SCREECHING NOISE ABOUT MIDWAY DOWN. WE TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY LOOKED AT IT, SAID IT WAS JUST DIRTY! CONTINUED ON, ANOTHER YEAR PASSES, STILL MAKING NOISE FINALLY I MAKE MY HUSBAND TAKE IT TO THEM AND TO FIX IT. THEY DID NOT TELL US WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT MUST OF DONE SOMETHING CAUSE IT HASN'T MADE THE NOISE SINCE. WE TOOK IT IN FOR OTHER PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME AS WELL. HOWEVER, IT HAS SCRATCHES ON THE WINDOW FROM WHERE IT WAS PUTTING PRESSURE FROM WHATEVER THAT NOISE CAME FROM, EITHER OFF TRACK OR WHATEVER, IT SCRATCHED THE WINDOW PERMANENTLY. *TR

PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW MAKES SCREECHING NOISE WHEN ROLLING DOWN. OUTER SEAL WAS REPLACED MID LAST YEAR, AND WAS QUOTED AT DEALERSHIP OF BEING IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AGAIN. WINDOW ALSO "STICKS" WHEN GOING DOWN. WINDOW ALREADY HAD LIGHT SCRATCHES PREVIOUSLY, AND THOSE SCRATCHES ARE GETTING WORSE. BELIEVE TO BE SAME FAILURE AS BEFORE. *TR
