THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LEVER IS STUCK IN PARK AND THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH DUE TO A VERY POOR ELECTRICAL DESIGN. THE ELECTRICAL WIRES ATTACHED TO THE CONNECTOR THAT OPERATES THE SOLENOID THAT UNLOCKS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER BUTTON IN THE PARK POSITION AND THAT ALSO CONNECTS TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND OPERATES VARIOUS FUNCTIONS SUCH AS RELEASING THE IGNITION KEY AND ALLOWS THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ,BREAKS OFF DUE TO ELECTRICAL WIRES BEING TOO SHORT AND THE BACK AND FORTH MOVEMENT OF THE SHIFTER . CHECKING THE ONLINE BLOGS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON SEVERAL GM VEHICLES FOR SOME TIME WITHOUT ANY RECALLS DESPITE CONSTANT CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS DUE TO THE VERY POOR DESIGN. SOME DEALERS HAVE SUGGESTED LEAVING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND UNLOCKING AND LOCKING THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS INVITES VEHICLE THEFT AND BY NOT HAVING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, THE BATTERY RUNS DOWN AS THE ACCESSORIES AND IGNITION IS STILL TURNED ON AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REMAINS LIGHTED. SOME CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD REPEAT REOCCURRENCES AFTER HAVING THE ISSUE REPAIRED AT A COST OF BETWEEN $500 AND $600. AFTER INSPECTING THE OPERATION OF THE SHIFTER AND THE AFFECT IT HAS ON THE ELECTRICAL WIRING IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE WIRING WILL FAIL AND IN THE BLOGS AS EARLY AS WHILST UNDER WARRANTEE. I AM CONCERNED IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT MAY OCCUR ESPECIALLY SAFETY ONES AS THERE IS 5 WI

ON OR ABOUT MAY 17, 2015, I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE CHEVROLET DIVISION OF GENERAL MOTORS THAT MY VEHICLE "MAY HAVE A BROKEN SOLDER CONNECTION WITHIN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR. THIS CONDITION MAY RESULT IN REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL ASSIST." ACCORDING TO THEM, I WILL KNOW WHEN MY INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYS THE WARNING AND THEN THEY WILL BE WILLING TO CORRECT THEIR POOR WORKMANSHIP, BUT NOT UNTIL THAT TIME. GM GOES ON TO INFORM ME THAT I MAY BE WITHOUT MY CAR FOR AN EXTENDED LENGTH OF TIME WHILE THEY ORDER PARTS AND DO REPAIRS. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO WILL BE INCONVENIENCED FOR THEIR LACK OF PROPER WORKMANSHIP. FURTHERMORE, I FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE ALSO. GM NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSES NEEDLESS HARM TO SOMEONE.

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT IS STICKING AND WILL NOT LATCH. IF YOU DO GET IT TO LATCH IT WILL UNLATCH WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO GET THE LATCH UNSTUCK. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY MECHANISM AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THEY DO NOT JUST REPLACE THE LATCH, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE LATCH AND THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WITH THE TENSIONER. HOWEVER THEY DID NOT HAVE THIS ITEM IN STOCK AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR THE REPAIRS. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM DRIVING WITH A FAULTY SEAT BELT THAT IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT A LEGAL ISSUE. I MUST WEAR MY SEATBELT - IT IS THE LAW. BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WILL NOT LATCH. *TR

STARTING IN DEC 2014 WHILE DRIVING AT RANDOM SPEEDS, THE 2010 CHEVY IMPALA WILL JERK HARD AND THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON. UPON THIS HAPPENING, THE REDUCE ENGINE SPEED APPEARS IN THE DISPLAY AS WELL AS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE STABILITY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH VARIOUS SPEEDS AND VARIOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS. IF YOU PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP AND ENGINE REDUCED WILL NO LONGER BE ON THE DISPLAY. *TR

LOUD TICKING SOUND COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE VENT. I HAVE CHECKED WITH OTHER OWNERS OF CHEVYS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS GOING BACK ABOUT 6 YRS+- WITH IMPALAS AND MALIBU'S. THERE ARE 3 MOTORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT GO BAD, WHEN ONE IS FIXED THEN AND OTHER TWO GO BAD SHORTLY AFTER. THE COST RANGE IS ABOUT $600.00. I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH GM AND THE DEALER WITH NO SATISFACTION. I AM TOLD THE I HAVE TO PAY THEIR HOURLY RATE TO HAVE THIS INSPECTED, THEN THE REPLACEMENT COST. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. WHERE CAN I GET HELP. I AM 74YRS OLD AND ON A FIXED INCOME. PLEASE ADVISE!!!! *TR

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE DASH LIGHTS DO NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND. ADJUSTMENT TO THE LIGHT/DIMMER CONTROL DO NOT MAKE THE LIGHT COME ON. THIS WILL GO ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN THE DASH LIGHTS WILL SUDDENLY COME ON. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AFTER DARK, YOU CANNOT SEE WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN, YOUR SPEED IS NOT VISIBLE, NOR ANY OF THE OTHER DASH LIGHTS. IT IS RANDOM AND NOT REPRODUCIBLE FOR SHOP TO SEE. THIS ALSO OCCURRED WITH OUR 2007 CHEVY IMPALA, PROGRESSING TO FINALLY NO DASH LIGHTS AND RESULTED IN $700 REPAIR FOR FAULTY WIRING IN STEERING COLUMN.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I AM WRITING THIS LETTER ON BEHALF OF MY PARENTS FOR THE GREAT ABUSE THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THEM. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO THEY WERE REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THERE LIFE AFTER LIVING HERE FOR CLOSE TO 40 YEARS THEY WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP! A FAIRLY NEW CAR, FIRST CAR FROM A LOCAL AGENCY IN MADERA. THE NAME OF THE DEALER: MADERA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE. THEY SOLD MY PARENTS A DEFECTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING. THEY KNEW ABOUT THE RECALLS SINCE 10/13/2010 AND 05/25/2010 THIS WAS BEFORE THEY EVEN PURCHASED THE CAR 11/26/2011. THEY ARE DOING UNLAWFUL SALES TO VULNERABLE POOR CUSTOMERS AND ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE. ACCORDING TO GENERAL MOTORS IT IS AND WAS COMPLETELY THE CAR DEALERSHIPS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THESE RECALLS (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED LIST OF RECALLS). THEIR SOLUTION IS TO WELL PURCHASE A NEW CAR FROM THEM. THEY STILL HAVE OUR CAR AND HAVE MADE NO INTENT TO FIX IT.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ITS TRACTION CONTROL,THE ENGINE WENT TO HAVE POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT HAPPENS VERY FAST, AND NOW MY CAR WONT GO OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR. I RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM SO I WANTED TO REPORT IT.

RECENTLY I TOOK MY 2010 CHEVY IMPALA TO BE SERVICED FOR A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASH BOARD BY THE AIR CONDITIONER VENTS, BY RESEARCHING A LITTLE BEFORE I TOOK IT IN TO BE SERVICED IT WAS SAID TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN THESE CARS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I EXPLAINED THAT TO HIM AND HE SAID BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IT IS NOT CONSIDERED FOR RECALL. I DISAGREE THE TICKING COMES OUT OF KNOW WHERE IT IS LOUD AND DOES NOT STOP IT COULD DRIVE SOMEONE INSANE NOT TO MENTION CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO GET IT TO STOP . SOMETIMES IT DOES BUT THEN STARTS RIGHT UP AGAIN VERY STRESSFUL TO SAY THE LEAST ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS KNOWN ACTUATOR PROBLEM RECALLED AND FIXED SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN THEY KNEW AND STILL KNOW THAT IT IS A PROBLEM.IN MY OPPINION IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THE LOUD TICKING COMES OUT OF KNOW WHERE SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IT SCARES AND STARTLES YOU.IT POTENTIALLY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS I THINK CHEVEROLET SHOULD BE HELD REPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND NOT MAKE THE CONSUMER PAY FOR THEIR PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR THAT HAS BEEN SINCE ATLEAST 2008 AND IS STILL NOT FIXED .

FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS OFF AND ON MY CHEVY IMPALA HAS STARTING JERKING AFTER TAKING OFF EVEN IF I BARELY PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. IT'S LIKE IT'S STUCK IN GEAR WHEN DRIVING NOT SHIFTING BUT THEN IT DRIVES NORMALLY. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE AFTER A STOP AT A LIGHT I STARTED TO TAKE OFF BUT IT HESITATED AND JERKED. HAVE BEEN TALKING TO OTHER CHEVY IMPALA OWNERS EVEN SOME OF THE PREVIOUS GENERATIONS AND THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURED WITH THEM ALSO. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO YOU PAY GOOD MONEY FOR A VEHICLE YOU EXPECT IT TO PERFORM AS IT'S SUPPOSE TO. *JS
