2010 Chevrolet Impala

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WITHOUT WARNING. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TWICE THIS WEEK WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 55 MPH MY TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILIZATION LIGHT CAME ON ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AND A MESSAGE THAT SPEED IS REDUCED. THE CAR DID SLOW DOWN AND FELT LIKE MY TRANSMISSION WAS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE ENGINE THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE CAR RAN OK IT TOOK TILL THE NEXT MORNING FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OUT.I TOOK IT IN FOR A CHECK UP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A GAS PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. I HAD THIS REPLACED AT A TOTAL COST OF $210.00. *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. SHOULD BE LOOKED AT FOR ROOT CAUSE AND ADDRESSED AT FACTORY BEFORE RELEASE. PLEASE, VERY ANNOYING, EXPENSIVE, AND WILL CAUSE ME TO NOT PURCHASE AGAIN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CARS ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 1ST THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. WHEN THEY CAME ON IT REDUCED POWER TO MY ENGINE AND QUIT ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD LOOKED UP POSSIBLE CAUSES WHEN I HAD A TEST RAN IT WAS SHOWING THROTTLE BODY I REPLACED IT AND IT NEVER FIXED IT UPON RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO OWNS IMPALAS FROM THE YEARS 2009 AND UP HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND FEEL IT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. WHAT I HAVE FOUND IDK YET I AM WAITING ON THE PIECE TO SEE IF THIS IS THE ISSUE OR NOT IS THE PEDAL SENSOR COULD BE THE CAUSE. BUT I FEEL IT CAN BE UNSAFE BECAUSE MY CAR HAD QUIT ON A BUSY INTERSTATE WITH CARS TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF 65MPH AND HIGHER. JUST WHEN I WAS LOOKING IT UP I HAD SAW SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR IMPALAS. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT THANK YOU .\ *TR

AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE WITHIN 30 DAYS THE AIR BAG SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO FUTURE NISSAN OF FOLSOM AND THEY STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CALL THE WARRANTY PEOPLE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. A WEEK LATER I NOTICED WHEN I SLOW DOWN USING THE BREAKS IT MAKES A SHAKING SOUND, MAKING THE WHOLE CAR SHAKE. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS NO COVERAGE WHEN PUMPING GAS I NOTICED THE SILVER CAP INSIDE THAT'S SUPPOSE TO REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL YOU PUT THE GAS PUMP IN THERE IN ALWAYS OPEN, WHICH ALLOWS AIR TO GET INSIDE. MY POWERTRAIN IS NOT ACCELERATIONS PROPERLY, IT TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE FOR IT TO CATCH ITS GEAR. *TR
