2008 Chevrolet Impala complaints

I HAVE DAD MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND THE SOLENOIDS KEEP GOING OUT THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME I WILL BE GETTING THEM REPLACED, I HAVE NOT HAD AN OPERATING VEHICLE FOR A WEEK NOW AND I JUST HAVE WAIT TO SAVE UP TO HAVE THEM REPLACED.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY @ 60 MPH WHEN ENGINE DIES WITH NO WARNING. DASH SHOWS FOLLOWING MESSAGES: "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" "SERIVCE TRACTION CONTROL" "SERVICE STABILITRAX" POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES STOP WORKING. WHEN CAR KEY IS TURNED OFF AND CHECK ENGINE CODES ARE CLEARED, THE CAR STARTS UP FINE AND CONTINUES TO RUN SMOOTHLY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE CAR (ALBEIT ON THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY), TURN IT OFF, CLEAR THE CODES, AND START IT BACK UP TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED IN JANUARY 2018. AFTER THIS I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER. THEY SAID CAR WAS COVERED UNDER "WARRANTY" FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. ONE MONTH LATER SAME PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. CAR RUNS FINE BUT THESE MESSAGES APPEAR ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. TYPICALLY THE ENGINE STAYS ON AND IS ONLY LIMITED IN POWER. HOWEVER, OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WILL DIE COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING, EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD CAR BROUGHT TO CHEVY DEALER. THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS IT IS CURRENTLY OCCURRING WITH THE CAR. THEY RECOMMENDED I TAKE THE CAR AND BRING IT BACK TO THEM WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN. HOWEVER, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR KNOWING THE ENGINE COULD JUST SHUT DOWN AT ANY MOMENT AND THE CHEVY SPECIALIST THEMSELVES DO NOT SEEM TO EVEN HAVE A CLUE ABOUT WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS.

HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION

ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND WAS ACTING AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. SO I PARKED MY CAR CALLED MY MECHANIC HE CAME OVER AND LOOKED AT THE CAR I SAID IT COULD BE A POSSIBLE ROCKER ARM THAT HAS GONE IN THE CAR OR I COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON GIVING ME A CODE FOR A CAM POSITIONING SENSOR / SOLENOID. ALSO WHEN I PURCHASE THE CAR NOT TOO LONG AFTER ME DRIVING I NOTICED THERE WAS SOME NOISE COMING FROM MY BACK TIRES. I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT FOR A WHILE UNTIL ONE DAY I LOOKED AT MY TIRES AND NOTICED THAT ON THE INSIDE THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF SCRAPING GOING ON WEARING AWAY MY TREAD. IT WOULD ALWAYS SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES ON THE CAR SO I THOUGHT MAYBE THE TIRES WERE TOO BIG FOR THE CAR BUT I ORDERED WHAT THE MANUFACTOR SUGGESTED THE TIRE SIZE SHOULD BE FOR THE CAR. SO I HAD A TIRE SPECIALIST LOOK AT IT AND AN ALIGNMENT SPECIALIST LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SUSPENSION SPRINGS MAY BE CAUSING MY ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE SIZE OF MY TIRE FOR THEM TO FIT BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS ARE CORRECT AND THE TIRES WERE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR THE CAR.

WHEN DRIVING IT STATED NOT TO PICK UP SPEED THEN INBOXES I COULDN'T GO ANYMORE I TURN IT OFF THEN BK ON AND I PUT IT ON DRIVE. AND IT WENT INTO REVERSE SO I TURNED IT OFF WAITED A LITTLE AND THEN TIERED IT BACK ON AND IT PICKED UP A LITTLE SPEED (5MPH) AND I KEPT HAVING TO TURN IT OFF N ON TILL I MADE IT HOME. AFTER I HAVEN'T DROVE IT. THE ONLY GOOD THING WAS THAT IT HAPPENED ON MY BACK RODE TO MY APT. (LESS CARS)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND JERKED FORWARD. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GREGG YOUNG CHEVROLET (17750 BURT ST, OMAHA, NE 68118, (402) 509-3028) TWICE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT TURNED IN FRONT OF THE CONTACT. THE CRASH WAS A T-BONE COLLISION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT AND OTHER DRIVER WERE INJURED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HUBER CADILLAC (11102 W DODGE RD, OMAHA, NE 68154, (402) 496-5400), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, SPARK PLUGS, COIL, AND FUEL INJECTOR (TWICE); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP THE CAR HESITATES AND JERKS HARD AND SOMETIMES 10 TO 15MPH WILL QUIT ACCELERATING AND THEN JERK THEN TAKES OFF. STATE HIGHWAY.

VERY BAD KNOCKING NOISE ALSO ELECTRICAL FIRE COULD'VE CAUGHT ON FIRE

LIGHTS CAME ON DASH SERVICE THROTTLE, REDUCED ENGINE POWER. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON 8/16/2018 GOING 55 WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO CHATTER AND I STRUGGLED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT WAS SO SUDDEN. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A BIT THEN IT STARTED AND I WENT ON. TODAY IT DID IT AND IT STILL WONT START AFTER HOURS.

VEHICLE HESITATES THROTTLE BODY CAUSES CAR TO JERK CUT OFF NOT PICK UP SPEED ALWAYS IDLED UP SPEED SENSOR READS 107 MPH WHEN ONLY GOING 30MPH STALLS. ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED BECAUSE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING.I HAVE MY CAR REGULARLY SERVICED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING. MY BLENDOOR ACULATER CAUSE MY HEAT NOT TO SOMETIMES COME ON AND IT MAKES THIS LOUD CLICKING NOISE. MOST IF NO ALL IMPALA HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND GM KNOWS ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I TOLD YOU ABOUT YET THEY DONT WANNA RECALL THE VEHICLE

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR GAVE A NOTICE OF REDUCED ENGINE POWER, THEN A FEW MILES LATER, ANOTHER NOTICE CAME ON SERVICE THROTTLE DISABLING SERVICE. AND THE CAR SHUT OFF! WITH NO WARNING, AND NO WAY TO GET TO SAFETY. IF I WASN'T IN AN AREA THAT HAD A SHOULDER I COULD GET TO QUICKLY OR IF THERE WAS ANY TRAFFIC NEAR ME, I WOULD BE DEAD! THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AND IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED, IF IT HASNT ALREADY! THAT HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF FLAW IN THE PROGRAMING. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH IS WHERE I NORMALLY AM AT THAT TIME OF DAY, I WOULD HAVE HAD NO TIME TO REACT AND GET TO A SAFE AREA BEFORE THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME. IT ALSO LOCKED UP THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKING SYSTEM SO I HAD NEXT TO NO POWER. IT WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY. I AM JUST GLAD THAT I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, INSTEAD OF MY ELDERLY MOTHER. SHE VERY WELL MAY HAVE HAD A HEART ATTACK FROM THE FEAR. IN NO WAY SHOULD A CAR JUST SHUT DOWN MID-DRIVE LIKE THAT! I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN THE AMOUNT OF WAYS HOW BADLY THAT COULD GO WRONG, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHEVY VEHICLES AND THE THROTTLE BODY. EVEN IF THE THROTTLE BODY IS GOING BAD, IN NO WAY SHOULD YOUR CAR BE PROGRAMED TO JUST SHUT OFF MID-DRIVE, EVER. I REALLY HOPE THAT IS A PROGRAMING FLAW AND NOT INTENTIONAL, BECAUSE IF THAT IS INTENTIONAL, YOU ARE TRULY TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CHEVY/GM TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED? HOW MANY PEOPLE GETTING KILLED IN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENTS IS IT GOING TO TAKE? I PRAY THAT M

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER OF A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE REDUCED POWER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND FAULT CODE: P-2135 WAS RETRIEVED. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE ECM, THROTTLE BODY, ACCELERATOR PEDAL MECHANISM, AND THE WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN THE ECM AND THROTTLE BODY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS TRACTION CONTROL IVE REPLACED THE WHEEL HUBS TWICE AND THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND THEN IT RETURNS. IM TIRED OF IT BECAUSE ITS COSTLY AND I DO NOT HAVE MONEY I WORK A PART TIME JOB. ALSO THE CAR LOSES POWER IT STARTS STATING REDUCED ENGINE POWER ON MY DASH ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE ITS DONE THIS TO ME A FEW TIMES ON THE FREEWAY.

THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS FOR MY 2008 CHEVY IMPALA LT WERE NEVER REPLACED IN THR RECALL. THE RECALL STATES THAT IF THEY BRAKE WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE DAMAGE ,INJURY OR DEATH, 2ND OWNER NEVER GOT RECALL NOTICE.

2008 CHEVY IMPALA LTZ -- I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE REAR INNER TIRES WEARING DOWN TO THE CHORDS JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE. I KNOW IT'S NOT THE TIRE BRAND, ETC. AS I'VE HAD A REPUTABLE MECHANIC PUT ON TWO SETS OF TIRES. I FOUND ARTICLES ON A LAWSUIT AND THE FACT THAT GM WILL FIX THE POLICE CARS WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT THE GENERAL PUBLIC'S. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A COMMUTER CAR FOR MY SONS THAT WILL BE COLLEGE STUDENTS AND I NEED IT TO LAST. I WANT A COPY OF THE TSB #08032A THAT ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED SO THAT I DON'T KEEP BLOWING THROUGH SETS OF TIRES IT IS GETTING RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. MY LAST SET WAS SUPPOSED TO WEAR OUT AT 60,000 AND ONLY LASTED 20,000. I AM ACTUALLY ON MY SECOND SET, SO BASICALLY $1600 INTO TIRES ALONE, NOT TO MENTION WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST ME FOR THE SPINDLE/CAMBOR/REAR TIE RODS THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TSB MENTIONED ABOVE. GM SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS AND IT SHOULD BE A MASSIVE RECALL. THESE CARS ARE PROLIFIC IN SOCIETY. LOL....WE BAILED THEM OUT IN 2008, AND THEY WERE CRANKING OUT LEMONS THE SAME YEAR....IRONIC!! GM REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES AN 'ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED' MESSAGE IN ADDITION TO LOSING CAPABILITY OF DRIVING FASTER THAN 40 MPH LIKELY AS A RESULT OF A COMMON FAULT BY THE MANUFACTURER.

WHENEVER THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS WET CONDITIONS SUCH AS RAIN OR GOING THRU A PUDDLE, THE POWER STEERING WILL LOCK UP AND. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED OR WHEEL POSITION. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BUT NO INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED YET.

TRANS HAS A PROBLEM SHIFTING INTO GEAR THE RIGHT WAY, HAD IT SERVICE 4 TIMES AN NOW THE CAR SITS IN DRIVE WAY, PROBLEM STARTED LAST YEAR 2017 GM NEEDS TO HELP OUT WITH THIS PROBLEM PERIOD.

STARTED FORWARD FROM FULL STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL HEARD LOUD BANG CAR REVERSED DIRECTION AND IMPACTED CAR BEHIND IT

TRACTION CONTROL AND THE STABILITY TRAC REDUCES THE ENGINE SPEED UNDER NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS DRASTICALLY WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. BEEN ACTING UP FOR SOME TIME. DEALERS DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND DOESN'T GIVE A CODE. VERY DANGEROUS AND FRUSTRATING.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN GEAR WHEN I AM PARK ON AN INCLINE . OR A HIGH SURFACE . THE GEARS LEVER FEELS LIKE IT BE STUCK OR LOCKED . AND IT BE HARD TO SHIFT INTO GEAR .

INSTRUMENT PANEL ENGINE HOT AIR CONDITIONAR OFF. TEMP GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND CAR STARTED IN 30 TEMP AND STILL SHOWED ENGINE HOT AC OFF. CAR WAS STOPPED, STARTED, ON HIGHWAY, IN TOWN DIDNT

WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES INITIALLY MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY AND THEN SUDDENLY LAUNCH FORWARD ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS AFTER APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR. IT IS ALSO GIVING A TRACTION LOST INDICATOR WHEN I MAKE SHARP TURNS FROM A STOP AND IT SOUNDS AS IF THERE IS SLIPPING FROM THE FRONT END. REMEDY FOR THIS IS TO BACK OFF THE SHARP TURN SLIGHTLY AND ONCE THE CAR IS ROLLING TURN THE WHEEL MORE SHARPLY.

WHEN MY IMPALA IS IN MOTION WITHIN THE MINUTES IT STATES ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND IT SLOWS DOWN THE CAR. IF I DRIVE 60 MPH OR MORE WHEN ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED THEN IT SAYS SERVICE SHUTTLING DOWN AND THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IT'S A BIG SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY.

BACK DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE WITH KEY FOB OR WITH INSIDE POWER LOCKS, (NO OUTSIDE KEY ENTRY LOCKS IN BACK DOORS) THEY REMAIN LOCKED AT ALL TIMES AND MY GRANDCHILD MUST CLIMB OVER FRONT SEAT TO GET IN THE BACK OF VEHICLE AND VICE A VERSA TO GET OUT. IF ACCIDENT OCCURS, FIRE STARTS BABY OR CHILD COULD NOT GET OUT!! I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHEVY THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS MAY GO AT SOME POINT. THIS IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. CHEVY WANTS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS (EACH DOOR LOCK)TO HAVE THEM FIXED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO IN 41 YEARS OF DRIVING. I HAVE HURT MY OWN BACK TRYING TO REACH TO THE BACK SEAT FROM THE FRONT ONLY. IT STARTED WITH ONE LOCK A FEW YEARS AGO AND THEN THE SECOND ONE STARTED. PLEASE HELP!

I WAS DRIVING ON ICY AND SNOWY ROADS AND MY ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE SEVERAL MILES TO MY DESTINATION. MY CAR SAT FOR 6 HOURS. I GOT IN TO LEAVE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT NOT THE WARNING. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT TEN MILES MY ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES FOUR YEARS AGO AND IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE IT HAPPENING AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE ROADWAY IS WET. AFTER READING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER CHEVROLET CARS ALSO.

LEAKING AND CAN'T IDENTIFY IF FRONT ENGINE COVER OIL IS LEAKING, OR ENGINE OIL FILTER ADAPTER GASKET, OR HEAD GASKET OIL LEAK. HELP! I WAS HAVING MY OIL CHANGED.

KNOW ISSUE OF HEATER GOING OUT AND TICKING SOUND. HEAT NOT ON ONE SIDE OF THE CAR.

THROTTLE PEDAL GONE BAD /SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING ?

WHEN DRIVING OVER WATER OR A VERY WET ROAD MY POWER STEERING QUITS, I OFTEN GET "ALTERNATOR FAILURE" WARNING UNTIL SUCH TIME AS I PASS OVER THE POOLED WATER SPOT IN THE ROAD. I HAD THE ENGINE BELT CHANGED AND IT STILL DOES THIS WHEN DRIVING OVER A POOLED OR LOW SPOT IN A ROADWAY OR PARKING LOT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW OR HIGHER SPEEDS ON A HIGHWAY, STREET OR PARKING LOT AND/OR GRAVEL AREA WITH POOLED WATER BUT NOT IN A "FLOOD" SITUATION. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER THREE MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A TURN IN ANY DIRECTION, A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILURE IN THE LOWER DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM, WHICH NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I AM INFORMING YOU OF SOME VERY SERIOUS CONCERNS IN REGARDS TO PARTS OF THE 07 AND 08 CHEVY IMPALA THAT HAVE FAILED CAUSING ACCIDENTS AS WELL AS INJURY AND GRAVE POTENTIAL FOR FATALITIES.AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING, SEAT BELTS NOT LOCKING ON IMPACT FIRST AND FOREMOST I HAVE REQUESTED COPIES OF THE PAPERWORK THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE COURTS IN SOMERSET WI. THIS SHOWED EXACTLY WHAT TOOK PLACE CAUSEING AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS CONSIDERED NEGLIGENT DUE TO MEDICATIONS I WAS ON AND MY DISABILITY. THE MECHANIC GAVE ME THIS REPORT ALONG WITH INFO STATING THAT THIS WAS A HUGE PROBLEM IN FLEET POLICE VEHICALS. THE INFO STATED THAT THE POLICE VEHICALS WERE FIXED AND CHECKED HOWEVER THIS PART HAS NO RECALL OR REVISION TO CORRECT THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT WE CAN FIND. MY VEHICAL DOES HAVE HIGH MILLAGE HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF THANKS TO ERICKSON OIL AND MECHANIC FRIENDS. THIS PART SNAPPING AFTER CRACKING ESILY RESULTED IN COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL AS WELL AS THE CAR LOCKING UP AND BECOMING IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND STOP. IT IS DISTURBING THAT THESE PARTS WERE NOT CORRECTED FROM A MANUFACTERING ASPECT (THIS WAS LOOKED AT BY A MACHINEST, AS WELL AS AN ENGINEER AND BY THE QAULITY/DIMESIONS/STRUCTURE THIS PART EASILY LOOKED DEFECTIVE) THE VISUAL AS WELL AS SKILLED APROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING DROVE US TO LOOK UP RECALLS PRIOR TO BUYING A NEW PART. WE COULD NOT FIND ANY. JUST INFO THAT THIS EXACT MAKE AND MODEL WERE PURCHASED AS FLEET VEHICALS IN 07 AND 08. PROBLEMS WITH MANY OF THESE CARS RES

WHILE IN MOTION, CAR WAS INVOLVED IN CRASH, HIT A CONCRETE BARRIER AND A FENCE AND AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, DRIVER SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION. HE WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE LOCAL DEALER (EDD ROGERS CHEVROLET BUICK, 674-W. BOCKMAN WAY, SPARTA, TN 38583) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE SOME OTHER WORK DONE WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER CONTROL ARMS WERE FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER; HOWEVER, THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM CONTINUED TO DISCONNECT HER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V377000 (SUSPENSION) DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS NOT A POLICE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

ALL DOOR LOCKS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE OR WITH THE INSIDE LOCK BUTTONS ON THE INTERIOR DOOR. EACH DOOR HAS TO BE MANUALLY LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN GEAR, THE DOORS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. THE DOORS EACH HAVE TO BE MANUALLY LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. THE ONLY KEYHOLE ON THE CAR IS ON THE DRIVERS DOOR TO UNLOCK THE CAR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET FOR THE YEAR MODELS 2008 AND 2009. THE PARTS ALONE ARE $450 TO $1,000. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE: 1. THE DOORS NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS PLACED IN GEAR. AUTOMATIC LOCKS WERE MOST LIKELY LISTED ON THE WINDOW STICKER. 2. IF A CHILD IS LOCKED IN THE CAR, THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH REMOTE AND CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. 3. NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR WITH THE KEY IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. MY CAR ONLY HAS 45,100 MILES ON IT AND THE LOCKS HAVE NOT WORKED IN OVER TWO YEARS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER DECLINED TO OFFER ASSISTANCE DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. *JS

SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. CAR WAS PARKED IN A CITY PARKING LOT

FIRST, THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE KEY SWITCH LOCATED UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL. THEN THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH IN D WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE, IT WON'T GO OVER 40 IN D3. NOT SURE WHY BUT THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE IMPALA.

ENGIME POWER REDUCED SEEVICE TRACTUON CONTROL. WHILE DRIVING POWER IS CUT TO NEAR NOTHING. ABOUT 20 MPH. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND STARTING A FEW HOURS LATER IT'S FINE. A COUPLE DAYS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN. FAULTY EQUIPMENT FROM GM.

ALL 4 DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK INTERMITTENTLY WHEN PRESSING ON FOB OR BUTTON ON DOOR. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW YEARS. NOTICED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON 2008 & 2009 IMPALA MODELS, VERY EXPENSIVE FIX

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE PROGRESSING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, A WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED SEVERAL TIMES INDICATING TRACTION OFF. MOST RECENTLY, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A TURN, PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE TO DETERMINE A SOLUTION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTION WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 80 DEGREES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU MUST USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK OR LOCK THE DRIVER DOOR AND MANUALLY OPEN THE OTHER DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. THE REMOTE KEY SYSTEM IS NOT EFFECTIVE WHEN LOCKING OR UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE. I ASKED REED LALLIER DEALERSHIP IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LOCKS BUT IT ONLY APPLIES TO THE "SS" MODEL AND NOT THE LT, EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME. THE ISSUE STARTED LAST SUMMER AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE THIS YEAR, WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS AROUND 75 AND BELOW THE LOCKS FUNCTION FINE. THE MALFUNCTION ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT BECAME STUCK IN THE NEUTRAL GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 214,000.
