2007 Chevrolet Impala

CHEVY BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR HAS FAILED TWICE. CURRENTLY ON MY THIRD ACTUATOR. CAUSES A CLICKING NOISE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AREA. OCCURS WHEN EVER THE AC MODE IS CHANGED, THE INCAR/OUTSIDE CAR AIR IS CHANGED OR WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE CLICKING LASTS FOR A FEW MOMENTS. SEEMS TO BE A POSSIBILITY OF FIRE OR FLYING PARTS FROM BROKEN GEARS. *TR

THE HEAT ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR DURING ACCELERATION. ONCE IDLE, THE WARM AIR TURNS ICE COLD. MY CAR WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TO BE REPAIRED AND EVERY TIME, IT WOULD WORK PROPERLY FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GO BACK TO NOT WORKING. AFTER THE 3RD "FIX" (THE "FIX" WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY TIME), THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I JUST MUST KNOW NOT HOW TO WORK MY HEAT BECAUSE I "KEEP BREAKING IT". THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE AND EVEN THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO CORRECTLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM!! *TR

MODERN VEHICLE DESIGN HAS INCREASED OCCUPANT SAFETY IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS COIN IS A DECREASED ABILITY TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. BLIND SPOTS CAUSED BY HUGE WINDSHIELD POSTS AND REAR VIEW MIRRORS (INSIDE AND OUT), HEADRESTS POKING UP AND A SEAT BELTS THAT HOLD YOU IN POSITION TO LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD....ALL THESE CONTRIBUTED TO OUR CAR HITTING A GUY-WIRE FOR A POWER POLE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE "SCENE" AND THE GUY-WIRE AND WINDSHIELD POST ARE EXACTLY THE SAME ANGLE, THE GUY-WIRE NOT BEING IN THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION. THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED RIGHT NOW (TO THE TUNE OF $1250.00, JUST FOR A HEADLIGHT AND TUPPERWARE BUMPER COVER). IT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF WE'D HAD THE SERVICES OF A NASCAR SPOTTER UP ON THE ROOF OF THE VFW! THERE.....I VENTED. *TR

I HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE (ALMOST THROUGH MY THIRD SET OF TIRES, OXYGEN SENSOR GOING AT 46,000 MILES, RUST BEGINNING AT 38,000 MILES {CAR WAS TWO YEARS OLD}, AND THE BATTERY GOING PREMATURELY). LAST WEEK, I ATTEMPTED TO PUT ON MY REAR DEFOGGER. THE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT MY REAR WINDSHIELD WAS STILL FOGGED UP. THE DEFROSTER ALSO DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR IF THE CAR IS IN PARK. *TR

THE REAR DEFOGGER DOES NOT WORK. NOTHING HAPPENED, IT JUST QUIT WORKING. WHEN YOU PUSH THE REAR DEFOGGER BUTTON ON THE FRONT PANEL, THE LIGHT LIGHTS UP SHOWING IT IS WORKING, BUT IT ISN'T WORKING ON THE REAR WINDOW. IT IS HAZARDOUS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW WITH FROST AND EVEN SNOW BUILT UP ON IT WHILE DRIVING. I FIND THIS A BIG BIG PROBLEM WHEN I CANT GO FAR SNOW BUILDS UP TO FAST. ONE OTHER TIME THE WIPERS STOPPED FOR NO REASON IN THE MIDDLE OF MY VIEW. WHEN I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION I SHUT IT ALL DOWN WENT GOT A POP CAME BACK OUT AND STARTED THE CAR AND THEN THEY STARTED TO WORK AGAIN NOT A GOOD SITUATION. *TR

OWN 2007 CHEVY IMPALA. BESIDES OTHER PROBLEMS, OUR FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW STARTED MAKING A BAD SCREECHING NOISE ABOUT MIDWAY DOWN. WE TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY LOOKED AT IT, SAID IT WAS JUST DIRTY! CONTINUED ON, ANOTHER YEAR PASSES, STILL MAKING NOISE FINALLY I MAKE MY HUSBAND TAKE IT TO THEM AND TO FIX IT. THEY DID NOT TELL US WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT MUST OF DONE SOMETHING CAUSE IT HASN'T MADE THE NOISE SINCE. WE TOOK IT IN FOR OTHER PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME AS WELL. HOWEVER, IT HAS SCRATCHES ON THE WINDOW FROM WHERE IT WAS PUTTING PRESSURE FROM WHATEVER THAT NOISE CAME FROM, EITHER OFF TRACK OR WHATEVER, IT SCRATCHED THE WINDOW PERMANENTLY. *TR
