2005 Chevrolet Impala

SEEMS A LOT OF 2000-2005 IMPALAS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS I AM WITH THE DASH INSTRUMENT PANEL AND POSSIBLE ISSUES WITH THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT 10-15 MINUTES TO CRANK MY CAR WHEN IT WONT START OR DO THE LOCK AND UNLOCK TRICK TO RESET THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. IRONICALLY ENOUGH HAVEN'T HAD ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH NOW HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL. INSTRUMENT PANEL SPEEDOMETER STUCK ON 120 MPH WHILE IN STOP POSITION. ..ALMOST GOT A TICKET OVER MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND BECAUSE I WAS SPEEDING. ..SHOWED THE OFFICER MY SPEEDOMETER THAT WAS SITTING ON 90 MPH AT THE TIME AND HE GAVE ME A WARNING AND TOLD ME TO GET THAT FIXED. *TR

FIRST HAPPEN AROUND 8-12-2013,DRIVING FROM BALTIMORE MD., TO SYRACUSE N.Y,STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT TO GET ON HIGHWAY TO SYRACUSE CAR TURN OFF AND WOULD NOT START, I CALLED AAA AUTO, AFTER ALONG WHILE WAITING FOR AAA AUTO, I TURN THE CAR KEY AND THE CAR STARTED, I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN STARTING MY CAR, ALL YEAR, FROM JAN. THROUGH NOW (JUNE 2014). *TR

PROBLEM STARTED FIRST WITH CAR NOT STARTING AND THEN IT WOULD START FEW MINUTES LATER, NOW CAR WILL SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS/COASTING EVEN. CEL BLINKED SEVERAL TIMES ONCE STILL GIVING 0300 CODE. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND NOTHING CHANGED. I HAVE TO SHIFT CAR IN NEUTRAL WHEN THIS OCCURS AND RESTART ENGINE BUT HAVE TO PUSH ON ACCELERATOR TO GET TO START AND SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD KILL SOMEONE IF THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO. *JS

FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011 WITH 160,000 MILES ON IT AND FOUR MONTHS LATER MY ENTIRE STEERING GOES OUT SO I HAD NO POWER STEERING THE PEOPLE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM DIDN'T BOTHER TO TELL ME ABOUT IT AND THE CAR WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY SO WHEN WE TOLD THEM ABOUT IT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO FIX IT. THEN EXACTLY A YEAR LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS I DON'T HAVE ANY POWER STEERING SO WE GOT THE POWER STEERING FIXED TWICE NOW SO IM THINKING OK SOMETHING IS GOING ON HERE THEN THIS YEAR ABOUT THE EXACT SAME TIME AS THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME SO WE GOT THAT FIXED AGAIN AND I DON'T WANNA SINK ANYMORE MONEY INTO MY CAR. AS FOR MY TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS SYSTEM I HAVE NOTHING EVEN THOUGH WE TOOK IT TO A GARAGE TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT NOW THREE DAYS LATER THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ARE ON AGAIN SAYING I DON'T HAVE EITHER AND AS OF NOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH MY CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT SO MANY TIMES AND SINCE I DON'T HAVE ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL ANYMORE. *TR
