2007 Chevrolet Impala complaints

CURRENTLY CAR HAS 140,000 MILES. 1. CAR HESITATES AND STALLS INTO GEAR. IT ACCELERATES SLOWLY AND JERK AND JERKS AND JOLTS INTO TRAFFIC CONSTANTLY. STARTED AROUND AT 130,000 MILES. 2. EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE HEAT FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER AND VICE VERSA, IT MAKES A LOUD CLICKING AND CLACKING SOUND THAT LASTS FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND IT IS LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD OUTSIDE THE CAR. STARTED AROUND 10,000 MILES. 3. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE DASH STARTS CHIMING AND DISPLAYING THE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW AND TO STOP THE ENGINE. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT LOOKED FINE. THIS IS ONGOING AND IS FRUSTRATING. STARTED AROUND 125,000 MILES. 4. I AM BEGINNING TO NOTICE THAT ALL OF THE ABOVE DEFECTS OCCUR ONCE MY CAR REACHES A CERTAIN MILE.

IN DECEMBER MY CAR WHILE DRIVING, I EXPERIENCED REDUCED ENGINE POWER THE SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CAR CUT OFF. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC PRAYING THAT WE WOULD NOT BE HIT WHEN EVERYONE IS DOING 70 MPH. WHEN THE REDUCED POWER LIGHT COMES ON THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ONLY BE TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT I CAN START BY REPLACING THE PCM MODULE AND THAT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A CHEVY DEALERSHIP NOT KNOWING WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEY CARS. ESPECIALLY A CAR THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH SO MANY OF ITS CAR ACROSS THE NATION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCE SINCE DECEMBER AS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AFTER HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NOT FEELING CONFIDENT IN $1,000 REPAIR THAT THE DEALERSHIP THEMSELVES ARE NOT SURE IS GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IN HOPES OF GETTING A SOLUTION AND SOLID PLAN. I THINK THAT GM NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A GOOD SOLID SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND NOT GUESSING FIXES TO MAKE MONEY. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE LIVES ARE BEING PUT IN DANGER. LIKE I FELT MINE WAS WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE LINE ON A HIGHWAY, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH AND YOUR CAR REDUCE POWER AND THEN SHUT DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO THE PARK POSITION AND THE IGNITION KEY WAS REMOVED, THE VEHICLE STARTED INDEPENDENTLY AND ROLLED AWAY WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

COMPLAINT: REAR WHEELS LINKAGE WAS DESIGNED SO THAT THE "CAMBER" CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. THE REAR TIRES WEAR AGRESSFULLY ON THE INBOARD EDGES TO A POINT THAT THEY ARE BALD WHILE THE OUTSIDE, WHICH IS VISIBLE, APPEARS TO BE GOOD. THE REAR TIRES BECOME UNSAFE, WITH A WEAR RATE THAT ONLY LAST ABOUT 15,000 MILES. I AM ON MY 5TH SET OF TIRES WITH THE CAR MILEAGE AT 66,000. GM WAS AWARE OF THIS CONDITION IN 2008, BUT THEY ISSUED A TSB (08032A) TO CORRECT ONLY "POLICE CARS" AND DID NOT REPAIR OR LET OTHER PRIVATE CUSTOMERS KNOW ABOUT THIS. MY CAR SERIAL NUMBER IS LISTED UNDER THE ONES ON THE TSB. THIS CONDITION ALSO CREATES A PROBLEM WHEN OPERATING THE CAR IN WET AND SLIPPERY ROADS, SINCE THE REAR TRACKING IS NOT THE SAME AS THE FRONT TIRES. THE CAR TENDS TO WHIP FROM SIDE TO SIDE, AN OPERATORS CAN LOOSE CONTROL. THE PARTS USED BY GM ARE THE SAME AS ON POLICE VEHICLES AS PERSONAL CARS. THEY CLAIMED A PROBLEM, BUT FOR SOME REASON DENY ANY ISSUES ON A PERSONAL CAR! GM DEALERS REFUSE TO EVEN SPLIT THE COST, AND GM WILL NOT CORRECT MY ISSUE.

MY WIFE'S 2007 CHEVY IMPALA LEFT HER STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY IN A SNOWSTORM. SHE WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, HER OVERHEAT WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING, AND WHAT SHE DESCRIBED AS "A HUGE CLOUD OF FOG OR SMOKE" WAS TRAILING BEHIND HER.

MY HEADLIGHTS CONTINUALLY FLICKER ALMOST CONSTANTLY, ALONG WITH THE DASH LIGHTS. SOMETIMES THEY ALMOST GO OUT. THEY SEEM TO BE WORSE WHEN I AM ACCELERATING. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DRIVES ME CRAZY, CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THEM FIXED.

REDUCED ENGINE POWER/ TRACTION CONTROL WARNING/ GAS LINE FUEL LEAK. THIS CAR FLASHED A REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE WHILE I WAS GOING 65 MPH STRAIGHT AWAY ON BUSY CITY (IN HOUSTON) FREEWAY AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR THEN IMMEDIATELY REDUCED SPEED AND WOULD NOT GO BEYOND 40 MPH. I WAS TOLD THAT THE GAS LINE FUEL LEAK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BUT IT SEEMS VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE SAME DAY. GM IS PUTTING OUT A LOT OF TRASHY VEHICLES RIGHT NOW AND THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL; ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE NUMEROUS VALID COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. I'LL NEVER BY GM/CHEVY AGAIN. I AM GOING BACK TO AN IMPORTED BRAND

AFTER HALF HOUR IT STARTED BUT DROVE SLOWLY SO HE WAS ABLE TO GET OF THE HIGHWAY AND WE HAD IT TOWED WHERE SOME WORK WAS DONE SUCH AS SOME SENSORS. IT WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND LAST NIGHT IT DID THE SAME THING. HE IS IN COLLEGE SO HE TOOK IT TO LOCAL SHOP AND THEY CAN'T RECREATE IT AND DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. THEY WILL TRY SOME MORE SENSORS BUT THIS IS A HIT OR MISS WHICH IS COSTING REAL MONEY. NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHEN HE WILL BE STRANDED OR IF IT WILL EVER BE FIXED. NOT VERY REASSURING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 85 AROUND 5;30AM AND JUST PASSING EXIT 20/NEW HOPE WHEN I HIT A HUGE POT HOLE IN THE ROAD ON THE FAR RIGHT LANE. AFTER HEARING A LOUD NOISE I PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT MY RIM WAS CRACKED OPEN ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE AND SLIGHTLY SLIT ON THE REAR RIGHT TIRE.

PREVIOUSLY I HAD THIS OCCUR AND I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED. THE MECHANIC AT THE REPAIR SHOP TESTED FOR CODES AND IT STATED THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAD THAT REPLACED ON TO TURN AROUND AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM TWO DAYS LATER. I RECENTLY SEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND NOTICED I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. I CALLED GM AND THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT UNFORTUNATELY THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I TRAVEL A LOT ON THE FREEWAY AND I WOULD HATE FOR THE CAR TO STOP WHILE DRIVING WITH MYSELF AND CHILDREN INSIDE. THIS VEHICLE COMPLAINT REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING, AND THE MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY SO HE CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT UNLESS IT DOES IT WHILE THE CAR IS IN HIS POSSESSION.

IN OCTOBER 2014 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING TO WORK AND THE CAR WENT FROM 65 TO 20, THEN IT STARTED SHAKING. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR WAS FINE. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I WAS ALREADY WORKING WITH GM ON THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING WAS DONE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DAVE'S MUFFLERS IN FEBRUARY 2015 AND THEY FIXED THE THROTTLE BODY. 6 MONTHS LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DAVE'S MUFFLERS SAID THEY ORDERED THE PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND I JUST GOT THE CAR FIXED IN FEBRUARY 2015. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THERE IS A SITE WITH NUMEROUS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND A RECALL REALLY NEEDS TO BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR GIVES A MESSAGE OF "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF...REGARDLESS OF WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 DAYS. VERY UNSAFE! I HAVE READ ONLINE OF HUNDREDS OF THIS SAME TYPE VEHICLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL ISSUE? I BELIEVE ANOTHER CAR MANUFACTURER HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH ONE OF THEIR ACCELERATOR PARTS AND THAT COMPANY RECALLED AND REPLACED THESE PARTS FOR NO CHARGE TO THE OWNER. I BELIEVE CHEVROLET NEEDS TO DO THE SAME THING.

I WAS DRIVING AT 20 MPH SLOWING TO TURN INTO MY PARKING LOT AT WORK AND SUDDENLY THE CAR JOLTED AND THE POWER DECREASED TO MAYBE HALF. THE CAR NEVER COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING SPOT AT WORK WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THERE WAS NO POWER LEFT AT ALL. ALL I COULD DO WAS COAST, THE CAR STILL NEVER COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCAREY, I JUST THANK GOD MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS NOT WITH ME AT THE TIME!!
