2007 Chevrolet Impala

WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTED TO JERK AND HESITATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A MESSAGE OF REDUCED ENGINE POWER. COULD NOT DRIVE THE DRIVE OVER 5 MPH. WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO PUSH THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT AS THE ENGINE WILL NO LONGER START BUT CRANKS OVER FINE. HAD TO BUY A SCANNER TO READ THE CODE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE TO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP OR AUTO PARTS STORE TO READ THE CODES. THE PO641 CODE WAS SET. CHECKED AND TESTED THE SENSOR WIRES FOR THE 5VOLTS EVERY ONE THAT I TESTED SHOWED OK. REPLACED THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLE BECAUSE OF THE CODE THAT COULD BE A SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM NO DIFFERENCE. CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT NO CHANGE CAR WILL NOT START.CHECKED AND GAVE ALL THE WIRES A GOOD PULL AND OR TUG TO WIGGLE THE CONNECTORS AND TOOK APART ALL SENSOR CONNECTIONS NO CORROSION WAS FOUND.ALL GROUNDS APPEAR TO BE GOOD. NO BROKEN WIRES ARE FOUND NO BLOWN FUSES WERE FOUND.AFTER 2 DAYS WAS ABLE TO START ENGINE WITH THE MESSAGE REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND CAR DIED AGAIN AND WOULD RESTART BUT NOT IDLE. WAS ABLE TO REV ENGINE AND KEEP IT RUNNING BUT ONCE IT IDLED IT WOULD DIE AND SOMETIMES NOT RESTART AGAIN.AT THIS TIME CAR IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE ON ANY ROADWAY BECAUSE IT MIGHT DIE AND RANDOM TIMES. *JS

ONCE AGAIN THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHTS ARE ON. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO DON BROWN CHEVY DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO FIX IN SIGHT. BEEN TOLD IT'S A CLIP THAT CAME LOOSE AND WAS FIXED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO FIND SOME PLACE THAT CAN ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM OR FOR GM TO COME UP WITH A FIX. THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM AND SHOULD BE ON THE LIST DUE TO THE MULTIPLE INCIDENTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY ON THE CAR SINCE 2009. *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

WHILE DRIVING MY 07' CHEVY IMPALA THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ARM OFTEN WILL DROP TO 'C' AS IF THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS COLD, THEN THE DRIVERS INFORMATION DISPLAY PANEL WILL DISPLAY A MESSAGE "ENGINE HOT TURN OFF A/C". I'VE HAD THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED, RADIATOR COOLANT DRAINED AND REPLACED, HOPING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT I'M STILL DEALING WITH IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I'M FINDING THAT THERE HAS BEEN OTHER CHEVY VEHICLE OWNERS DEALING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, WHICH IS MOST LIKELY A BAD 'ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ECT). *TR

THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A BROKEN WIRE IN THE BTSI SOLENOID TERMINAL WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY RE WIRING THE GROUND WIRE TO THE SHIFTER WHERE THE PIN HAD BROKEN. ON MAY 3RD THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULD NOT COME OUT. LET THE CAR SIT FOR 24 HOURS THE BATTERY DIED AND THE KEY RELEASED OUT OF THE IGNITION. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 5, 2014 AND THE SHIFTER WIRES WERE RE CONSTRUCTED. CAR STILL ACTS AS IF THE SHIFTER IS NOT GOING TO SHIFT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,400.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A 6 LANE HIGHWAY WITH A MEDIAN IN THE MIDDLE. I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE/FAST LANE DRIVING ATLEAST 35-40MPH. I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND MY IGNITION SWITCHED FROM RUN TO OFF CAUSING ME TO LOSE ALL POWER IN THE VEHICLE.. SINCE I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE LUCKILY A TURN AROUND WAS NEAR AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE VEHICLE OVER BEFORE MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. *TR

MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN AND I NOTICED I HAD PUDDLES OF SOMETHING UNDER MY CAR WHERE EVER I PARKED. I WAS PUTTING FLUID IN TWICE A DAY JUST SO I WOULD BE ABLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I FINALLY HAD THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT I HAD A WHOLE IN MY POWER STEERING LINE OR COOLER. PROBABLY BOTH BUT HE SAID IT WAS SPRAYING EVERY WHERE. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR YET AND I BOUGHT IT FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS USED THEY LOOKED IT OVER VERY WELL FOR ME BECAUSE MY MOM KNOWS THE OWNER. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED NOR CAN I AFFORD TO KEEP PUTTING POWER STEERING FLUID IN DAILY. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND I KNOW IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF SOON IT WILL TURN INTO BIGGER PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND A MESSAGE POPPED-UP "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MY SPEED WAS QUICKLY REDUCED FROM 45 MPH TO 20 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER LUCKILY I WAS NOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON IN THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE SENSOR NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT GM NEED TO ADDRESS. NUMEROUS OF IMPALA OWNERS HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS, BUT HAVE BEEN IGNORED. I FEEL AS THOUGH GM SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLES AND FIX THE DEFECTS... THIS IS PUTTING ME, MY CHILDREN, AND MANY OTHERS AT RISK. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
