2007 Chevrolet Impala

AT A STOP LIGHT. FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN GEAR,ENGINE REVS 2500/3000RPM, THEN TRANS GOES IN GEAR. TOLD BY DEALER IF USING LEFT FOOT ON BRAKE AT A STOP, THIS WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THEY OFFERED NO HELP. WAS TOLD WITHOUT CODES THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION! WHEN I GOT CAR IT WAS LEAKING TRANS FLUID.TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER,TO HAVE LEAK FIXED. AT ANOTHER SHOP I USE, WHILE CAR WAS ON LIFT YOU COULD SEE TRANS PAN ON VALVE BODY HAD BEEN OFF. TRANS HAS FOR SURE BEEN WORKED ON! AS YOU MIGHT GUESS IT WILL NOT DO THIS AT THE DEALER.I LET THE CAR WITH THEM FOR 1 WEEK,FOR THEM TO DRIVE.WHEN I GOT CAR BACK THEY PUT ALL OF 3MILES ON IT. *TR

CHEVROLET IMPALA DISPLAYS EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES. I AM ASSUMING IT IS THE REAR TIRES AS ONLINE SEARCHES DESCRIBE THE SAME CONDITION AFFECT THE REAR TIRES. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED EVERY TIME THE OIL WAS CHANGED, SO THE FRONT TIRES SHOW SOME WEAR BUT NOT NEARLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. IT IS MY GUESS THIS WEARING STARTED BEFORE THE MOST RECENT TIRE ROTATION. THE TIRES ARE WORN TO THE POINT THE CORDS ARE SHOWING ALONG THE INSIDE OF THE REAR TIRES. THE TIRE IS VERY ROUNDED ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF EACH TIRE WHILE THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF EACH TIRE LOOKS LIKE THEY DID WHEN NEW. THE TIRES ARE MICHELIN HYDROEDGE TIRES WITH APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES, THEY ARE RATED FOR 90,000 MILES. ONLINE INFORMATION SAYS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SPINDLE RODS. THERE IS A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST "NEW GM" TO HONOR DESIGN PROBLEMS OF "OLD GM." GM ORDER A RECALL ON ALL POLICE IMPALAS FROM 2007-2008 WITHIN A VIN RANGE TO REPLACE THE SPINDLE RODS. BULLETIN NO. 08032A. ALSO SEARCH DOCUMENT PIC5406A FOR MORE INFORMATION. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH COULD LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE TYPE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SUDDENLY REDUCED ENGINE POWER CAME UP ON THE DASH BOARD. FOLLOWED BY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP AND THE CAR SHUTTING OFF. AFTER 20 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AGAIN, BUT NOW I DRIVE WITHA CONSTANT FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN, AND WHAT IF MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR NEXT TIME! I HAVE A CONSTANT ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING LINE LEAKING, ALTHOUGH I HAVE REPLACED THE PUMP, AND THE FUEL LINE. I FEEL LIKE I AM THROWING MY MONEY INTO A BOTTOM LESS PIT. WHAT DO I DO FROM HERE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, A LOUD WHINING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN MAINTAINING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE ROAD SHOULDER, POWERED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE LINE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 175,284.

REPORTED THAT CAR WOULD JERK (KICK INTO GEAR LATE) WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP TO START. AT 74,000 WE MADE OUR FIRST CLAIM WITH LOCAL DEALER. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE CONCERN. BROUGHT CAR IN TWO MORE TIME BECAUSE IT GOT WORSE. FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS HITTING ME FROM THE BACK. MY CAR OFTEN KICKS OUT OF GEAR ON A LEFT TURN. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I WAS ALMOST T-BONED. THEY NEVER FOUND THE ISSUE UNTIL 121,000. THAT WAS WHEN THEY DECLARED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. GM DOESN'T WANT TO COVER THE REPAIR NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OFWARRANTY. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND WAY TOO MANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THESE MODEL VEHICLES. GM REALLY SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS CONCERN. I ADVISE ANYONE TO PESTER GM ABOUT THIS CONCERN. AFTERALL, WE ARE THE CONSUMERS. UNFORTUNATELY IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME, I DON'T TRUST THEIR PRODUCTS ANYMORE. *TR

SLIP IN TORQUE CONVERSION AROUND 30 TO 45. ALSO, YOU'LL BE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP AND WHEN YOU START TO PRESS THE GAS IT DELAYS, THEN SLAMS INTO MOTION ALMOST LIKE BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. * DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE. HAD IT TO THE DEALER 3X, THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT IS SPORATIC AND DOES NOT HAPPEN DAILY. *TR
