2008 Chevrolet Impala complaints

BOTH REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS STOP WORKING PRIOR TO 60,000 MILES. THEY WOULD WORK RANDOMLY AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ON WEBSITES AND IT APPEARS TO BE THAT THEY USED A LUBRICANT THAT BECOMES TOO SOLIDIFIED. IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO UNLOCK THE REAR DOORS USING THE KEY FOB OR THE POWER UNLOCK. IT HAS TO BE DONE MANUALLY AND THEY ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO REACH FROM THE FRONT SEATS.

HEATER FAILS TO DELIVER ANY AIR TO DRIVER SIDE AND ONLY MINIMAL AMOUNT OF AIR TO RIDER SIDE WHEN CAB HEATER IS IN FLOOR DISTRIBUTION MODE OR DUAL MODE. DEALER ADVISES THIS IS BY DESIGN AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS EXPLANATION AND IS A PROBLEM. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A CITY STREET. SHE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND AS SHE WAS PREPARING TO ACCELERATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A WARNING MESSAGE FLASHED STATING (ENGINE POWER REDUCED). MY DAUGHTER STATED THAT THE CAR WOULD ONLY GET UP TO 40 MPH AND RPM GAUGE WOULD NOT GO PASS 2, EVEN WHEN SHE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR. SHE HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR 10 MILES IN FEAR THAT THE CAR WAS GOING TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY STREET WHILE IN TRANSIT. SHE FINALLY MADE IT HOME. HOWEVER, THE CAR SPEED REMAINED AT 40 MPH; DESPITE HER ATTEMPTS TO INCREASE THE SPEED. AFTER 2 HOURS HAD PASSED, I STARTED THE CAR-THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND WHEN I DROVE I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FASTER THAN 40 MPH. AFTER DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK, THE CHECK ENGINE CAME BACK ON. I CONTACTED ONSTAR FOR AN ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC- THE RESULT WAS THAT THE POWERTRAIN SYSTEM HAS FAILED- A MALFUNCTION OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. AFTER I RECEIVED THAT MESSAGE, I CHECKED ON LINE FOR A RECALL- I DISCOVERED SEVERAL SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALAS- ONLY THE GOVERNMENT ISSUED VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WERE RECALLED. WHY??? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE/CONCERN/PROBLEM. WILL IT TAKE MULTIPLE TRAGIC CAR ACCIDENTS BEFORE A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM? MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000 MILES- AND IN THE COMPLAINTS, I NOTICED A COMPLAINT THAT HAD THE SAME MILEAGE DOCUMENTED. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR ANY DISTANT AND I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PRICE

REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE. THIS MESSAGE CAME UP AFTER HAVE CAR AT MECHANICS FOR A REPAIR ON ACTUATOR. WE TOOK BACK TO MECHANIC AND HE CLEARED MESSAGE HOWEVER MESSAGE HAS APPEARED AFTER A WEEK OF DRIVING CAR LESS THAN 10 MILES PER DAY. MECHANIC SAID POSSIBLE FIX RESULTING IN ANOTHER $300 REPAIR. THE MESSAGE CAME UP WHILE DOING LOCAL DRIVING AROUND TOWN LESS THAN 5 MILES BEFORE IT WILL APPEAR

REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE, FAULTY BACK DOOR LOCKS, HEATING ACTUATOR REPAIRS. THIS IS A REVISED COMPLAINT TO ONE I ALSO MADE FOR JUST THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON HERE I HAVE FOUND THAT MY CAR HAS SEVERAL OF THE ISSUES NOT JUST REDUCED ENGINE POWER. I AM MOST CONCERNED WITH THE CAR CUTTING OUT WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER HOWEVER WE ALSO HAVE LOCKS THAT DON'T OPEN/LOCK WITH REMOTE WHICH HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS AND SINCE LAST WINTER HEATER ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR UNTIL YOU ACCELERATE THE CAR. THIS MONTH WE HAD CAR REPAIRED FOR A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER GLOVE BOX WHILE CAR WAS RUNNING OR SHUT OFF. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED AS A NEW ACTUATOR AND DID REPAIR. THIS HOWEVER DID NOT REPAIR THE BLOWING OF COLD AIR AND ALSO THIS IS WHEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING STARTED. I AM A FORMER GMAC EMPLOYEE AND HAVE HAD GM VEHICLES FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL AND THAT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THESE.

STOPPED DURING OUT-OF-STATE TRIP AND THEN ESC SENSOR LITE CAME ON AND CAR WOULD ONLY GO 20 MPH. GM DEALER IN NASHVILLE NOT MUCH HELP. REPEATED PUSHING OF TC/ESC BUTTON FINALLY CLEARED FAULT. NOW HESITANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR. LAST GM CAR THAT I WILL EVER OWN.

I PURCHASED A 2008 CHEVY IMPALA LTZ FROM A REPUTABLE CERTIFIED USED CAR DEALERSHIP (MERROLIS CHEVROLET 9 MILE AND GRATIOT). I ALSO HAD A WARRANTY. IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS I HAD A SERVICE INVOICE FOR OVER 1300.00 THE CAR NEEDED A AIRBAG COIL REPLACEMENT (477.00) STEERING DIFFICULTIES. ALSO. THE CONVERTER NEEDED REPLACEMENT (877.00). THIS MAKES THE CAR SOUND LIKE IT NEEDS A NEW MUFFLER. I COMPLAINED TO THE MANAGER IN SERVICE AND I'M AWAITING A RESPONSE 11-13-15. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BACK ON FRIDAY 11-13-15 BUT DID NOT.

(REDUCED ENGINE POWER) MY 2008 CHEVY IMPALA RANDOMLY SHOWS DOWN AFTER THE DASH READS REDUCED ENGINE POWER. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE I WAS DOING ABOUT 60 ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE CAR SPEED JUST DROPPED TO 20MPH I HAD TO SWERVE BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND COULD NOT SLOW DOWN IN TIME. MY TWO YEAR OLD WAS IN THE CAR AND I HEAR THAT GM CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALL THE TIME. THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY DANGEROUS SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THE GM DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEAL HOW TO FIX THIS.

HELLO, ONLY HAD MY CAR 2 YEARS AND NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS..MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THIS LIGHT THAT'S KEEPS COMING ON AND SAYS "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND KICKS MY CARS DOWN BETWEEN 20 AND 40 MILES PER HOUR..HUGE SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAYS WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR REDUCED TO 20 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY!!! I WAS SCARED AS WELL AS MY CHILDREN AND HAD TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. NOW I HAVE DONE SOME INVESTIGATION ABOUT THIS AND SEE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES HOW HORRIBLE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THIS? MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN'S LIVES ARE A FACTOR AND IT'S TERRIFYING THAT NOTHING IS GETTING DONE ABOUT THIS BUT IS KNOWN BY THE MAKERS OF THIS VEHICLE..PLEASE I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS AND SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. I AM A NURSE OUT HERE SAVING LIVES EVERYDAY AND I CAN'T JUST AFFORD TO KEEP TRYING TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH A CAR THAT NOBODY HAS A REAL ANSWER ON WHY IT'S DOING THIS. I HAVE NO OPTION TO STILL DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS MANY OTHER HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO HAVE SPENT THEIR HARD WORKING MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES AND COMPANY.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2009 AND IT HAD GIVEN ME PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE GAS SENSORS WENT BAD, THE DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF AND THE LOCKS WOULDN'T WORK. THAT WAS A $1000 BILL. THE TIRE SENSORS WENT BAD AND NOW THE LOCKS ARE GOING BAD AGAIN. EVER SINCE THEN, THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR, WHICH REGULATES THE HEAT OR RECIRCULATING AIR HAS CONSISTENTLY GONE BAD. I HAVE REPLACED IT THREE TIMES SO FAR AND TWO OF THE ACTUATORS HAVE GONE BAD AGAIN. IT MAKES A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND UNDER THE DASH WHETHER THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE CALLED CHEVY SO MANY TIMES, I REMEMBERED THE SCRIPT THEY READ TO YOU. THEY NEVER HELPED. IT IS A $200 REPAIR BILL EVERY TIME IT IS REPAIRED. I TRIED TO LET IT BURN ITSELF OUT AND IT LASTED OVER A YEAR. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT IS A PROBLEM ON 2004-2008 IMPALAS BUT THEY NEVER RECALLED IT. IT ALSO CAUSES THE AIR TO BLOW COLD IN THE WINTER. WHY WASN'T A RECALL DONE ON THESE VEHICLES.

THE VEHICLE JERKS AFTER TAKE OFF FROM A STOP AND LOSES SPEED IN TRAFFIC.

FOWLER CHEVROLET, PART OF HTTP://WWW.FOWLERAUTO.COM/ WITH FOWLER TOYOTA, REPAIRED OUR 2008 IMPALA AFTER AN ACCIDENT. FIRST ROUND REPAIRS WERE $9,800 ON A $12,000 VEHICLE AND THEN CARFAX SHOWED FRAME DAMAGE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE ACCIDENT NOTATION AFTER THE REPAIRS! ON THE SAME DAY OF THE ACCIDENT, I EMAILED THE BODY SHOP "PLEASE DON'T PROCEED WITH SIGNIFICANT REPAIRS UNTIL THE FRAME STRUCTURE IS DETERMINED TO BE FINE ", BUT THEY STARTED WITHOUT CONTACTING ME. OUR INSURANCE COVERED LIKE TIRES AND THE DEALERSHIP EVEN WANTED ME TO GO GET THE REPLACEMENT GOODYEAR TIRE AND BRING TO THE DEALERSHIP! IT WAS IN THE SHOP OVER 7 WEEKS AND INSURANCE ONLY COVERED FOR 30 DAYS OF A RENTAL VEHICLE, BUT SINCE WE WERE RENTING FROM THEIR FLEET, THEY HAD NO INCENTIVE TO GET IT DONE. WE ENDED UP TAKING IT TO SOUTHPOINTE CHEVROLET TO MINIMIZE THE NOISES COMING OUT OF THE REPAIR AREA AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REIMBURSED. I REQUESTED QUALITY ASSURANCE IN WRITING REGARDING THE REPAIR AREA AFTER THE CARFAX CONCERNS. I ALSO REQUESTED MORE INFORMATION REGARDING IF THE WELDER WAS CERTIFIED ETC..., BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL IN WRITING. THE BODY SHOP MANAGER, CHRIS HELM, WAS TERMINATED SOON AFTER OUR REPAIRS. THE BODY SHOP MANAGER STATED THAT GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVROLET SENT IN A REPRESENTATIVE TO REVIEW THE REPAIRS AND BACKED THE DEALERSHIP 100%. I REQUESTED SOMETHING IN WRITING FROM GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVROLET AFTER SENDING THE PICTURE OF THE REPAIRS AND THEY WON'T PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING. FOWLER CHEV
