2010 Chevrolet Impala

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, A LOUD ABNORMAL, TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE NOISE ALSO OCCURRED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED AND LASTED AT LEAST ONE MINUTE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARL BLACK CHEVROLET (11500 E COLONIAL DRIVE, ORLANDO, FL 32817, 888-449-6517) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW BLENDER ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE LINE DEVELOPED A LEAK BECAUSE IT WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE SEAM ON THE SIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THE LINE IS IN GREAT SHAPE OTHERWISE. STILL HAS A BLACK COATING ON IT OTHER THAN THE AREA THAT WAS RUBBING THE PLASTIC GAS TANK SEAM. THE GAS TANK SEAM IS ALSO WORN AWAY. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN THE FALL OF 2010 AND THESE ARE THE SAME BRAKE LINES AS WERE ON IT AT TIME OF MY PURCHASE. VERY DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE FOR MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY SHE GOT IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARKED. THIS HAPPENED 3-15-2019. I TOOK PICTURES THEN GENTLY PULLED THE BRAKE LINE AWAY FROM THE GAS TANK AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THE HOLE WORN IN THE LINE AND WEAR ON THE GAS TANK

VEHICLE WILL NOT START. ALL ELECTRICAL THINGS WORK, THE LIGHTS, DASHBOARD, ETC.. BUT THERE IS NO POWER TO STARTER. THIS VEHICLE HAS 150000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD 6 NEW BATTERIES INSTALLED. THE NO START ISSUE WAS BELIEVED TO BE OCCURRING AFTER CAR WAS BROUGHT THROUGH CAR WASH DURING VERY COLD TEMPS OUTSIDE, BUT THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE NOW. NOW IT STARTS SOMETIMES AND WILL NOT START AT OTHER TIMES.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES AND RESOLVES ITSELF. COMPLETE FAILURE OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HVAC SUDDENLY WITH ENGINE RUNNING. THIS APPEARS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH GM RECALL #36110. CONTACTED GM FOR FURTHER ACTION AND WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED WITH RECALL DESPITE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED FOR RECALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAPPENS WITH ADULT FRONT PASSENGER, NOT WHILE SEAT IS EMPTY, AND WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

WHEN I CALL CHEVY IT ONLY SHOWS ONE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO FIX THE AIRBAG ISSUE BUT THERE'S A RECALL FOR SERVINGS 2009 AND 2010 CHEVY IMPALA

DRIVING UPHILL & THE SERVICE STABILTRAK & THE SERICE TRACTION CONTROL WORDS CAME ON FOLLOWED BY REDUCE OF ENGINE POWER & THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT & TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. WE COULD STILL DRIVE AT ABOUT 20 MPH UPHILL & 45-50 ON FLAT ROADS. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF 4 ABOUT 2 HRS 2 COOL DOWN. BUT THEN AS SOON AS WE HEADED UP A HILL IT STARTED ALL OVER.
