I BOUGHT CAR 2 YRS AGO AND DROVE IT FOR 3 MONTHS NO PROBLEMS THEN SAT FOR 6 MONTHS, I START DRIVING IT AND THIS IS ALL THE STUFF THAT WENT OUT AND STUFF STILL GOING ON. RADIATOR TEMP SENSOR, WATER PUMP, HEATER, WATER PUMP BEARING, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, LOW COOLANT SENSOR, RADIATOR, VSS, KEY STUCK IN IGNITION, LOCK CYLINDER, 8 WIRES UNDER HOOD SHREDDED IN HALF DUE TO RUBBING ON BELT, POWER LOCK WONT WORK ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR, CHIMES GO OFF WHEN KEY NOT IN IGNITION. MY PROBLEM NOW IS KEY LOCKED UP AGAIN FINALLY GOT IT TO TURN THEN ANTI THEFT SYSTEM COMES ON AND THE CAR WONT REPROGRAM CODES. MY CODE READER SAYS IT CANT READ FROM CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED WHEN THEY SUDDENLY FAILED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS HOWEVER, THEY ALSO FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 214,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HAVE HAD A INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER I HAVE DEALT WITH FOR ALONG TIME WHY? THE CAR WILL NOT START AT TIMES DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING SECURITY SYSTEM, WAIT TEN MINUTES AND HOPE IT STARTS, COME ON AMERICAN MADE G.M. STAND UP TO YOUR OWNINGS. NOW FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR IS LEAKING, HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS AFTER MARKET RECALLS NOT G.M. RELATED PARTS ONCE AGAIN OWN UP TO YOUR PRODUCT,ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CONCERNS LIFE AND DEATH OF PEOPLE ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, FOR WHAT MONEY? PROFIT? SOMEBODY WITH SOME POWER OVER THESE ISSUES DO SOMETHING PLEASE. *TR

AS I AM DRIVING MY CAR TODAY IN A 25 MPH ZONE, I REALIZE THAT MY SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS THE SPEED OF 105. AFTER READING THROUGH SEVERAL FORUMS TODAY I AM SHOCKED AT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON A 2004 IMPALA. MY CAR HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NOW I HAVE TO PAY AROUND $600 TO HAVE SOMETHING FIXED THAT CLEARLY SHOULD BE A RECALL. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HOW MANY COMPLAINTS/PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME PARTS JUSTIFIES A RECALL? COME ON GM, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!! *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IS OUT OF CONTROL. IT WILL TELL ME I'M EITHER GOING WAY FASTER THAN I AM OR IT WILL TELL ME I'M GOING WAY SLOWER THAN I AM. IT WILL RESET ITSELF IF THE CAR IS OFF FOR TWENTY MINUTES OR SO BUT IT WILL JUST HAPPEN AGAIN IN A FEW DAYS OR HOURS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN A CAR WHERE I DON'T KNOW WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN THEIR OWN 04 CHEVY IMPALAS. IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

(1) HEATING SYSTEM FAILED. NO HEAT, COOLANT WAS OK. FAN WAS RUNNING. DEALER EXAMINED. THREE ACTUATORS IN THE ELECTRONICS ARE FAILED AND HAVE TO REPLACE AT A COST OF OVER $550.00 (2) TEMPERATURE GAUGE STOPPED MOVING. DEALER EXAMINED. ESTIMATED COST OF $~400.00 TO REPLACE IPC UNIT. THERE IS ONE OF THE RECALLED IPC UNITS FOR GM AUTOS MADE BETWEEN 2003-2007; BUT IMPALA WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL LIST. I DON'T KNOW WHY? SAME ELECTRONICS FAILED IN ONE UNIT MUST BE RECALLED FROM ALL THE UNITS.. THESE DEFECTS COULD INCREASE HEAT IN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND COULD INCREASE FUEL CONSUMPTION, FAILURE OF THE ENGINE AND POSSIBLY CAUSE FIRE, CONTACTED GM BUT THEY WERE NOT COOPERATIVE AND DENIED ANY CLAIMS. *TR

CAR MAKES A POPPING NOISE FROM STEERING. THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD OCCASIONALLY BUT THEN GOES AWAY. THE STEERING WILL GET TIGHT THEN REALLY LOOSE. CAR FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ESPECIALLY OVER A BUMPY ROAD FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE LOOSE WHEELS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 78,800 MILES ON IT. THIS IS INSANE AND I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY A CHEVROLET! I HAVE KIDS AND FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THEM IN IT! I WRECKED THIS VEHICLE WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES AND THE WHEELS SQUEALED BUT DID NOT LOCK UP NOR DID IT STOP! BRAKES ARE FINE AND IN GOOD CONDITION NOT SURE WHY IT WONT STOP. HAS HAPPENED 5-8 TIMES AND CAR SLIDES! THANK GOD WE DIDN'T GET SEVERELY INJURED! IMPALA'S SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET IF U ASK ME. *TR

THE HEATER COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING BUT WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE PASSENGER SIDE TO WORK (IT HAS DUAL TEMP. CONTROLS). THE TURN SIGNALS WORK JUST WHEN THEY WANT TO AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO THE SAME. THEY JUST STOP WORKING WITH NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLACES TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT NOBODY CAN DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, UPON THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE SINCE THESE PROBLEMS BEGAN I'VE FOUND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THESE SAME ISSUES YET THERE HAS BEEN NO KIND OF RECALLS TO FIX IT. *TR
