2008 Chevrolet Impala complaints

COMING DOWN OFF OF A MOUNTAIN IN WEST VIRGINIA ON TRIP TO OHIO. APPLIED BRAKES. FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE. ONLY WAY TO STOP SHAKING WAS TO TAKE FOOT OFF OF BRAKE. TOOK TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL. I DON'T SEE HOW IT COULD BE NORMAL. HAVE NOT MADE THE TRIP SINCE SO HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED. *TR

AFTER STOPPING AT A LIGHT, BRAKES (NOT SURE IF ALL 4) WILL NOT RELEASE. AFTER DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL BRAKES WILL RELEASE AND CAR LUNGES FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 3 DAYS. *TR

WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP, TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT'S SLIPPING, THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE. AFTER APPLYING ENOUGH GAS, THE CAR WILL "BRAKE LOOSE" AND LUNGE FORWARD. THIS CAN DEFINITELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THE KEY BECAME LODGED IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER CABLE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN VEHICLE LOST POWER AND CAR SHUT OFF. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED THE MOTOR AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A FEW OCCASIONS. MORE RECENTLY, AT TIMES CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER OR CRANK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR CRANKS AND AFTER SOME TIME HAS PASSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHUTS OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE IGNITION 1 SWITCH CIRCUIT 2 (CODE P1682). *TR

WHILE DRIVING 65MPH VEHICLE JUST DIED. WAS NOT ABLE TO START FOR ABOUT 15 MINS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NEARLY CAUSING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY HAS REDUCED ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND JERKS FROM A COMPLETE STOP SOMETIMES. NOW THE OIL ENGINE PRESSURE/TURN OFF ENGINE LIGHT AND ALARM GO OFF ALL THE TIME. REPLACE THE SENSOR, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE LOUD KNOCKING SOUND FROM THE DASH IS UTTERLY ANNOYING. I THINK THE FACT THAT ONLY THE POLICE CARS GOT RECALLED IS INSANE, NO MATTER WHAT THE RECALL WAS. I'M SURE ONCE THEY TOOK THOSE VEHICLES IN; ALL THE OTHER ISSUES I HAVE MENTIONED WERE ALSO FIXED. ALSO THE REAR DRIVER SIDE POWER LOCK IS FAULTY AND UNSAFE WHEN TRAVELING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. I HONESTLY BELIEVE WITH SO MANY CONSUMERS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS, GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SEVERAL TRAGEDIES OCCUR AND WE THEN JUST BECOME STATISTICS. PLEASE HELP. THERE ARE SO MANY OF US OUT HERE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES ON THESE IMPALAS WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF SOMETHING THAT APPARENTLY SHOULD BE RECALLED BY GM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR UPDATED 2/18/2015 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V355000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING FROM THE DRIVER DOOR CONTROL OR THE FOB. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOORS IS TO PHYSICALLY PULL UP ON THE LOCK. IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, I WILL BE UNABLE TO UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS WITHOUT PHYSICALLY PULLING THE DOOR LOCK. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR MAY SUDDENLY STOP WORKING. I'M AFRAID I WILL BE KILLED WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR! THE CAR DOES NOT STAY IN ALIGNMENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN REALLIGNED AT LEAST THREE TIMES AND THIS FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 37637 MILES, THIS IS AN INJUSTICE. *TR

ONCE MY VEHICLE GOT NEAR 80K MILES, IT BEGAN TO RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN ON ME AS I DRIVE. THE MESSAGE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE THROTTLE" COMES ON AND I BARELY HAVE TIME TO PULL OUT OF HARM'S WAY BEFORE THE CAR WON'T MOVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR--MOST RECENTLY, THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND TURNPIKE ON SATURDAY JUNE 28. DRIVING AT 70MPH AND HAVING MY CAR SUDDENLY LOSE POWER IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS. WHEN MY MECHANIC PULLS THE ERROR CODE, IT'S JUST A GENERAL COMPUTER ERROR EVERY TIME. NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT THE THROTTLE HAS EVER SHOWN. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL WHEN YOU SEARCH "IMPALA ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND SEE THERE ARE A TON OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS ISSUE GETS FIXED? *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON 29 MAY 2014 I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE. THE POTHOLE IS 10" ACROSS, 3-4" DEEP, AND I HIT IT HEAD ON. THIS CAUSED MY CAR TO SHUT OFF, WHICH I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I THEN REALIZED I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BREAKS AND HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RESTART THE CAR. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME, SO OTHER THAN HAVING TO PULL OFF THE ROAD ON A CURVE I WAS LUCKY. I CALLED BOTH MY LOCAL GM DEALER (RESSLER OF BOZEMAN, MT) AND GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE CAR, NO RECALLS, AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO "AVOID HITTING POTHOLES". GIVEN THE STATE OF THE ROADS THAT MAY BE HARD TO DO. THE GM SUPPORT TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THE MOMENT BUT THERE MIGHT BE ONE DOWN THE ROAD AND TO WATCH THE NEWS. *TR

3 OF THE 4 DOOR LOCKS WON'T OPERATE WITH A KEY FOB OR THE DOOR PANEL AND THERE'S NO KEY ACCESS ANYWHERE OUTSIDE EXCEPT THE DRIVERS SIDE WHICH IS THE ONLY LOCK THAT CURRENTLY WORKS...WITH CHILDREN OR ADULTS IN THE BACK SEAT OR THE PASSENGER SIDE THIS CREATES A SERIOUS HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR THE NEED TO ENTER THE CAR URGENTLY IF BEING PURSUED BY AN ABDUCTOR. SMALL CHILDREN WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK DOORS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY AND THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO CLIMB OVER THE BACK SEAT TO ACCESS THE LOCK MANUALLY OR LOSE PRECIOUS TIME ROLLING WINDOWS DOWN AND GETTING OUT OF THE CAR TO OPEN THE DOOR LOCKS FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR....THIS VEHICLE IS LOW MILEAGE AND THESE LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE. MANY HAVE BEEN BLOGGING ABOUT THESE DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCKS AND GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE AND REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS STAT AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER! *TR

SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHTS CAME ON DASH. CAR LOST ALL POWER AND WHEN STOMPING THE GAS PEDAL SPEED WOULD RESUME, VERY HESITANT FROM A DEAD STOP. CAR WAS JERKING, SHUT OFF TRACTION CONTROL AND CAR JERKED THEN TOO. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE THERE ARE DEATHS. ALSO I HAVE NO UNLOCKING DOORS. THEY HAVE TO ALL BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED. BATTERY WAS REPLACED IN CAR AND ON KEY FAB. GAS PEDAL SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY SENSOR ARE THE TRIGGERED CODES, GM NEEDS TO FIND THE REAL SOLUTION AS THESE DON'T SEEM TO FIX PROBLEM. *TR

THE FOLLOWING HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 65-70MPH WHEN THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHTS CAME ON DASH. MY CAR THEN LOST ALL POWER ON THE FREEWAY AND MY SPEED WAS REDUCED TO UNDER 35MPH. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING IT OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. *TR

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN I WENT TO PULL ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND HESITATED! I TOOK IT TO GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM WITH IT! IT WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO BAD BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! NOW I HAVE 68000 MILES ON IT, AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENS DAILY! TWO DAYS AGO, WHEN PULLING ON TO THE HIGHWAY, IT HESITATED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME THERE WAS A SEMI COMING! LUCKILY IT FINALLY TOOK HOLD AND I COULD PROCEED! I SAW ON THE INTERNET, THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE!! WHY, DOESN'T GM FIX IT?? ALSO, I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN FOR ENGINE PROBLEMS, THEY HAVE REMOVED THE ENGINE FROM THE CAR, AND "DECARBONED THE CYLINDER"! NOW ABOUT 30000 MILES LATER IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN! *TR

TIRE BLOWOUT. DUE TO DEFECTIVE REAR SUSPENSION THAT CAUSED TIRES TO BE MISALIGNED. THE DEFECTIVE SPINDLES CAUSED THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR TO RIDE ON THE VERY INSIDE CORNERS OF THE REAR TIRES. 90% OF THE TIRE WEAR WAS ON 10% OF THE TIRES. THIS CAUSED THE HIDDEN INSIDE ONE INCH OF THE TIRE TO WEAR THROUGH THE TIRE SAFETY BELTS, EXPOSE THE TIRE THREADS, AND THEN BLOWOUT. BOTH REAR TIRES DID THIS. THE PICTURES ARE STUNNING TO SEE HOW MUCH OF THE TIRE TREAD LOOKS PERFECT AND HOW DEVASTATING THE WEAR WAS TO THE INNER MOST INCH. TO MOST PEOPLE LOOKING AT THE TIRES FROM THE SIDE, THEY LOOKED FINE.NO ONE EXPECTS THE DAMAGE THEY DON'T SEE HIDDEN FROM DAILY VIEW. THE TIRE WEAR IS EXTREMELY ACCELERATED ONCE IT REACHES THE SOFT MATERIAL JUST UNDER THE TREAD. IT CAN GO FROM THIN TREAD TO A HOLE IN THE SAFETY BELT MATERIAL IN 1000 MILES OF WEAR. GM ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2008 ABOUT THIS EXACT SYMPTOM, BUT ONLY CALLED FOR REPAIR OF POLICE MODEL IMPALAS. THEY HAVE NOT CALLED FOR REPAIR OF SIMILAR GENERAL PUBLIC OWNERS MODELS. SO WE DID NOT KNOW UNTIL WE HAD A BLOWOUT. THE DEALER WOULD DO NOTHING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A POLICE CAR COVERED IN THE TSB. WE PAID FOR 4 NEW TIMES, AND ALIGNMENT. BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE NEW TIRES ARE WEARING OUT THE SAME. THERE IS LITTLE WINTER TRACTION IN THE REAR BECAUSE OF SUCH SMALL AMOUNT OF TREAD ON THE ROAD. *TR

PICKING UP GRAND CHILDREN AT CURBSIDE FROM SCHOOL THE DOORS FAIL TO UNLOCK CAUSING ME TO GO OUT IN TRAFFIC GET IN THE CAR AND START IT IN ORDER TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS SO THAT THE KIDS CAN UNLOCK THE DOORS MANUALLY THAT IS IF THEY ARE NOT DISTRACTED BY SOMETHING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT A 4, 6 AND 7 YEAR OLD WILL DO. ALSO THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK FEATURE DOESN'T WORK WHEN CAR IS PUT IN DRIVE. *TR

WHILE ENTERING A FREEWAY TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPPED AND I CHANGED LANES. AS I CHANGED LANES I WAS UNABLE TO STEER AND ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. THE CAR SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER CAR BROADSIDE. THE CAR I HIT HAD ITS AIR BAGS DEPLOY. MINE DID NOT. DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS ALL FRONT END AND DRIVERS REAR DOOR. NO INJURIES EXCEPT BUMPS AND BRUISES. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN RECALLED FOR THE IGNITION KEY ISSUE BY GM. WAS UNAWARE OF ISSUE BEFORE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT STOPLIGHT. DRIVER REACHED DOWN TO PICK UP PAPER HE DROPPED ON THE FLOOR, AND ACCIDENTALLY GOT FINGER CAUGHT IN LANYARD ATTACHED TO KEY RING THAT HAD THE IGNITION KEY IN IT. IGNITION SWITCHED TURNED TO OFF, AND ENGINE QUIT. HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL TO RESTART ENGINE. *TR

2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALLS AND FAULTY PARTS ON VEHICLE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE EXPERIENCED A REDUCTION IN ENGINE POWER CONTINUOUSLY, WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE STALLING, IN TRAFFIC. *JB

I TOO AM VERY UPSET WITH THE ISSUE WITH THE DOOR LOCK ISSUE. THE BACK PASSENGER DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOES NOT UNLOCK WITH THE FOB OR THE DOOR UNLOCK CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO PHYSICALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR IS TO RECLINE THE DRIVERS SEAT AND REACH BACK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY THIS IS B.S. I HAVE DONE MUCH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ON THIS SUBJECT AND WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS SO DISTURBING! I WISH CHEVROLET WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE IT RIGHT TO ITS CUSTOMERS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2008 CHEVY IMPALA IN 2009 ABOUT A YR AFTER MY PURCHASE I NOTICED MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH EITHER THE KEYLESS REMOTE OR THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR SINCE THEN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK HAS DID THE SAME THING. BUT THE FINAL STRAW WAS NOW THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR HAS WENT OUT. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND MY FAMILY I HAVE TWO SMALL GRANDBABIES ONE OF THEM WITH CANCER, THAT ARE BOTH IN CARSEATS. IF ANY OF THE DOORS LOCK THEY CANNOT I REPEAT CANNOT BE UNLOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE NOR CAN THEY BE UNLOCKED FROM THE KEYLESS REMOTE OR THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR ONCE THE DOORS ARE LOCKED THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN BE UNLOCKED IS BY TILTING THE SEAT BACK AND MANUALLY UNLOCKING THEM. THIS IS PUTTING MY GRANDCHILDREN IN GRAVE DANGER IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT AND I CANNOT GET TO THEM NO ONE ELSE CAN EITHER UNLESS THEY KNOCK THE WINDOW OUT, WHICH ENDANGERS THE CHILDREN. I DEMAND TO KNOW WHY WHEN IT COMES TO THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN'S LIVES BEING PUT IN DANGER BY A DEFECT OF YOUR PRODUCT THAT YOUR COMPANY IS DRAGGING YOUR FEET ON RECALLING THESE CARS. YOUR RECALLING MILLIONS OF CARS FOR THIS DEFECT AND THAT DEFECT BUT YOUR # 1 PRIORITY SHOULD BE TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN THAT CANT PROTECT THEMSELVES. AND ALL US PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS ARE AT OUR WITS END. WE BOUGHT YOUR PRODUCT IN GOOD FAITH NOW ITS TIME FOR YOUR COMPANY TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT RECALL ALL THESE -2008- AND OTHER CHEVY IMPALAS FOR FAULTY DOOR ACTUATORS BEFORE CHILDREN GET HURT OR GOD FORBID KILLED . VE

WAS DRIVING ON BUSY ONE LANE ROAD, REDUCED SPEED, CHECK TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 45 AND WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER, WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF ROAD AND SHUT CAR OFF STARTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER NO INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. WENT TO INTERNET TO CHECK PROBLEM SEEMS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN 100,000 S OF THESE PROBLEMS MANY RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. IT DOES NOT SHOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A FREEWAY WITH TRUCKS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHAT HAS THE VEHICLE SAFETY BOARD DONE TO PROTECT OWNERS OF FAULTY VEHICLES? *TR

OUR 2008 IMPALA LS, WITH 100,000 MILES, IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM SEEING AT THIS WEB SITE AND ALL ACROSS THE INTERNET. LAST MONTH, MAY, 2014, AND THIS MONTH, JUNE, 2014, THERE WAS A SUDDEN REDUCED POWER ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO NO MORE THAN 35 MPH. BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO ADVANCE TO HAVE THEM CHECK TO SEE IF ANY CODES HAD BEEN DROPPED BY THE COMPUTER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THERE WAS NO REDUCED POWER MESSAGE EITHER, AND THE SPEED RETURNED TO NORMAL. I WAS TOLD TO TRY FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER, WHICH I DID. ALL WENT WELL FOR ALMOST A MONTH, WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MONTH. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO ADVANCE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. THE COMPUTER HAD DROPPED 2 CODES, BOTH RELATED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. ADVANCE DID NOT HAVE THE PART, NOR DID AUTOZONE. FORTUNATELY, NAPA DID, FOR $90, INCLUDING TAX. OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WANTED $50 MORE. SINCE IT IS A VERY EASY PART TO REPLACE EVEN FOR AN AMATEUR LIKE ME, I REPLACED IT. THERE ARE ONLY 2 10 MM BOLTS TO REMOVE AND AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO UNPLUG. SO IT WAS PRETTY SIMPLE, AND SO FAR, THIS HAS DONE THE TRICK, BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN 24 HOURS. THIS APPARENTLY IS A JOB THAT THE DEALERSHIPS WANT TO CHARGE $300 TO $400 TO DO. AS I SAID, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM FOR GM, AND THEY HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT, SO FAR, DO A RECALL. THEY SHOULD. I'M ONLY OUT $90 SO FAR, BUT OTHER PEOPLE ARE OUT MUCH MORE. IF I HAV

MY SEAT BELTS WON'T LOCK PROPERLY. THE PASSENGER BELT HAS THE MOST ISSUES AND YOU HAVE TO PUSH IT IN AND THEN CLICK IT. IN AND THEN YOU CAN'T GUARANTEE IT WILL STAY LOCKED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AFTER FIVE MINUTES, THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,550.

THE BOLT/CLIP TO THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT CLIP TO THE B-PILLAR FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE APPLIED. THE SAME HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO. AFTER BOTH TIMES, I HAD TO SCREW AND TIGHTEN THE BOLT/SCREW TO REATTACH THE SEAT BELT CLIP TO THE B-PILLAR. SEAT BELTS ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY COMPONENTS OF A VEHICLE. FAILURE OF THE B-PILLAR CLIP/SUPPORT OF A SEAT BELT IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN A CATASTROPHIC INJURIES, WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN PREVENTABLE SHOULD THE SEAT BELT HAVE FUNCTIONED PROPERTY AS INTENDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

STARTED THE CAR, DROVE ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF TO MY DESTINATION. PARKED, TURNED KEY TO TURN CAR OFF. ENGINE TURNED OFF BUT KEY NO LONGER SWITCHES COMPLETELY OFF IN ORDER FOR ME TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. *TR

FREQUENTLY, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, CAR IS SLUGGISH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAUSES VEHICLE TO DECELERATE QUICKLY. TYPICALLY THE CAR WILL START NORMALLY AFTER SITTING FOR 15-30 MINUTES BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON FOR SOME TIME. ALSO, THE MESSAGE ENGINE HOT/AC OFF FIRES RANDOMLY. TEMPERATURE GAUGE RESTS AT ZERO. IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN EITHER THROUGH MANUAL RESET BY REMOVING BATTERY CABLES AND RECONNECTING OR RANDOMLY START WORKING AGAIN ON ITS OWN. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF BOTH ISSUES ON THE INTERNET WHICH INDICATE REPLACEMENT OF SENSORS/THROTTLE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND DO NOT FIX THE ISSUES. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT WE HAVE HAD WITH OUR 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS ON WEDNESDAY MAY 21ST, AROUND 730 PM. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MILES PER HOUR, SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING ABOUT 48 WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE MESSAGING SYSTEM INDICATED "REDUCED ENGINE POWER." WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE SLOWS RATHER RAPIDLY, AND THEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE BEYOND ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR OR SO. DUE TO THE RAPID DECLINE IN SPEED AND THE FACT THAT THIS OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING, I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATELY ACTED UPON PROBLEM. I CONTACTED GM ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO GET IT LOOKED AT BY ONE OF THEIR LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, AND PAY FOR THAT DIAGNOSTIC. IN MY ONLINE RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY, PROBABLY IN THE HUNDREDS, WHO'VE EXPERIENCED THIS IDENTICAL ISSUE. SOME OF WHICH HAVE TAKE THEIR CAR TO GM WHO HAS CONCLUDED ACCORDING TO POST OF EXPERIENCES ON EDMUNDS THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM OR REPAIR IT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT REQUIRE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW DIFFERENTLY THIS COULD HAVE GONE SHOULD MY WIFE HAVE BEEN GOING 75 MPH ON INTERSTATE 80. WE LIVE ALONG I-80 AND TRAVEL IT FREQUENTLY. HOWEVER AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM WE ARE ESSENTIALLY UNABLE TO TRUST OUR VEHICLE BEYOND ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE DOORS FAILED TO LOCK AND COULD ONLY BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000. UPDATED 8/11/14*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER PAID HALF THE COST. UPDATED 8/21/2014 *JS

DIFFICULTY SHIFTING INTO GEAR FROM PARK WITH VEHICLE STARTED OR OFF WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKE. SHIFT LEVER WAS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. ON 3/16/2014 IT COMPLETELY LOCKED IN PARK POSITION. I CALLED ROAD SERVICE AND THEY REMOVED PART OF CONSOLE COVER AND FOUND WIRE HAD BROKEN IN WIRE HARNESS (BLACK) WHICH CONTROLS RELEASE OF GEAR SHIFT WHILE DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. THEY SHOWED ME HOW TO DEPRESS RELEASE BUTTON FOR PARKING GEAR. I HAD TO DO THIS FOR 3 DAYS MANUALLY TILL I COULD GET A ELECTRICAL SHOP REPAIR THE BROKEN WIRE SUBSEQUENT WIRE HARNESS AS THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT FEASIBLE TO REPLACE JUST THE BLACK WIRE TO THE PARK GEAR RELEASE. IT COST ME $465.00 FOR REPAIRS. I CHECKED ON LINE AND FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A QUITE A PROBLEM WITH 2008 CHEVY IMPALA'S AND IS HAPPENED QUITE FREQUENTLY. MY QUESTION IS WHY GM HAS NOT ISSUED A BULLETIN DUE TO THIS PROBLEM TO CORRECT IT. TO BE STRANDED AND IN THE DARK IS QUITE A FRIGHTENING SITUATION. *TR

IT WAS RAINING AND LOST POWER STEERING AT SPEED. THIS HAS CONTINUED EACH TIME IT HAS RAINED OR GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT TURN. THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN 50 TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP ONLY LAUGHED AT ME WHEN I CALLED. IS CHEVY WAITING TILL MY FAMILY IS KILLED BEFORE NOTICING THIS ISSUE LIKE WITH THE OTHER RECENT RECALLS. *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE LOWER CONTROL,AND TRANS. SHIFT LINKAGE I CALL TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL GM SAID ONLY ON POLICE MODELS ANOTHER TIME I HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE TRANS. LINKAGE REPAIRED. *TR

WHENEVER IT IS RAINING OR I DRIVE THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER ON THE GROUND, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS AND THE CAR SEEMS TO LOSE POWER. FOR THIS REASON I DREAD DRIVING MY CAR WHEN IT RAINS. IS THIS BEING RECALLED???? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED, THE SENSOR ILLUMINATED FOR REDUCED POWER INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATION PEDAL HAD TO BE ENGAGED AS THE SPEED REDUCED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO RESET THE CODE AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS FURTHER DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER THAT THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

I OWN A 2008 CHEVY IMPALA WHICH HAS BEEN HAVING COMPUTER PROBLEMS FOR 1 YR NOW. IT READS OUT REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND THE CAR WONT GO FASTER THAN 40 MPH. IVE HAD IT FIXED BUT THEN COMES RIGHT BACK UP, ONE MECHANIC SAYS TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE AND ANOTHER SAYS ITS SENSORS. THIS IS BECOMING QUITE A PROBLEM AND NOBODY CAN FIX IT PERMANENTLY. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I TRANSPORT GRANDCHILDREN AROUND AND THE CAR LOOSES POWER OUT OF NOWHERE,THEN JUST SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I CANT KEEP PAYING ALL THIS MONEY FOR IT TO JUST HAPPEN OVER AND OVER WITH NO RESULTS. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST? I WENT ONLINE TO FIND OUT THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME? I CANT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR THIS WHEN ITS NEVER ACTUALLY BEEN FIXED. I HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYING TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED BUT I DO WHEN I HAVE TO PAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND ITS STILL NOT FIXED. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THROUGH ST. LOUIS AROUND MIDNIGHT ON I-270 ON MAY 3, THE "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" MESSAGE CAME ON AND THE CAR SLOWED DRAMATICALLY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE INTERSTATE. QUITE SCARY INDEED, NOT TO MENTION THE LURCHING. AFTER BEING NEARLY RUN OVER ON BOTH SIDES, I PULLED OFF IN A VERY DARK PART OF TOWN AND THE POLICE CAME BY TO CHECK ON ME. INITIALLY THE CAR WOULDN'T START WITH THE MESSAGE, "STARTING IS DISABLED, SERVICE THROTTLE." AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THE THING ALLOWED ME TO START IT, BUT STILL WITH THE "POWER IS REDUCED" MESSAGE. I ACTUALLY DROVE THAT THING HOME (OVER 90 MILES) WITH SEMIS BEARING DOWN ON ME, ALTERNATING FLASHERS AND WATCHING OVER MY SHOULDER. ANYWAY, THE NEXT DAY, IT STILL WOULDN'T RUN NORMALLY, BUT I LIMPED OVER TO AN AUTOZONE AND I REPLACED THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY AND THE THROTTLE BODY (THE ENGINE CODE SAID P0651, BUT THAT WAS A WASTE OF $300). NO HELP, SAME MESSAGE. I LET THE CAR SIT. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED UP, STILL HAD THE MESSAGE. BUT ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY!!! THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON NOW, BUT THOSE CODES HAVEN'T BEEN ACCURATE SO FAR. WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING NORMALLY, I WENT OUT AND JIGGLED ALL THE WIRING BOTH UNDER THE DASH AND ABOVE THE THROTTLE, BUT COULD NOT FIND A LOOSE WIRE OR GET THE CAR TO SHIFT INTO THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" MESSAGE. I ALSO TAPPED ON AND JIGGLED THE AIR BOX (BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT'S WHERE THE ECM IS LOCATED). STILL COULDN'T GET IT TO GO BAD. CAME BACK OUT THE NEXT TIME AND THE CA

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" APPEARED ON MY DASH. SOON AFTER MY SPEED AND POWER WAS CUT FROM 70 MPH TO UNDER 40. I GOT ANOTHER MESSAGE SAYING "SERVICE THROTTLE DISABLED" AND MY CAR LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND STEER. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND WAITED UNTIL IT STARTED UP AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FLAW THAT IS HAPPENING TO MANY GM OWNERS. PLEASE RECALL FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY. *TR

I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE POWER BEING REDUCED DUE TO CODE 2135, IT'S A THROTTLE POSITION PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED MAYBE 50-100 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. I CAN CLEAN THE THROTTLE PLATE AND IT'LL BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE CAR'S POWER IS REDUCED SO QUICKLY, ESPECIALLY ON FREEWAYS. I'VE NEARLY BEEN REARENDED A FEW TIMES NOW. I'VE COMPLAINED TO CHEVROLET AND THEY ONLY SAY THERE ISN'T A RECALL AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY'D CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH IS WHAT I AM DOING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, THIS IS A VERY DEADLY PROBLEM THAT THEY NEED TO ADDRESS. IT'S NOT THE CONSUMER'S FAULT AT ALL. THANK YOU. *TR

ON FRIDAY MAY 2, 2014, I WENT AND BOUGHT $72 WORTH OF GROCERIES, ALL BUT $10 WERE FROZEN OR COLD AND IT WAS ABOUT 80 DEGREES OUTSIDE. WHEN I GOT HOME AND WENT TO TAKE THE GROCERIES OUT OF THE TRUNK THE TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO SEE IF THEY COULD GET IT OPEN THEY COULD NOT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY LOOKED THE PROBLEM UP ONLINE AND SAID IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT/RECALL AND THAT IF I TOOK IT TO AN ACTUAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP OR MANUFACTURE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP, SATURDAY MAY 3, 2014, THEY SAID THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE MY CAR ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE. I FEEL LIKE CHEVY SHOULD STILL PAY FOR IT AND REIMBURSE ME FOR MY GROCERIES THAT I LOST. IT WAS NOT MY FAULT THAT THE TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN AND IT IS ALSO NOT MY FAULT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER EITHER 1) DID NOT TURN THE RECALL IN OR 2) DIDN'T BOTHER TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT. *TR

THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WON'T COME OUT. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS OUT. FOR EXAMPLE AFTER SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CARS STALLS AND WON'T PICK UP SPEED, IT THEN JERKS HARD AND DRIVE AS USUAL. *TR
