2008 Chevrolet Impala

I WAS TOLD FROM A MECHANIC THE CAR HAS EITHER PCM OR ECM PROBLEMS. THE CAR STARTS TO DIE OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING IT THEN I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF THEN RESTART IT. IT JERKS REALLY HARD WHEN DRIVING IT. THE OIL PRESSURE LOW STOP ENGINE MESSAGE COMES ON. IT JUST HAS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE OTHER IMPALAS LIKE MINE ARE HAVING EITHER ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS OR SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, AFTER PROCEEDING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, BOTH SHOULDERS, LEFT FOREARM, BRUISING AND SWELLING TO THE UPPER CHEST CAVITY AND LOWER ABDOMEN. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 111,000.

MY CAR STOPPED ON 630. IT SAID DISABLED FULL THROTTLE. I HAD TO SIT FOR 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD START. I THEN HEAR A CLICKING NOISE THAT STARTED AT 830AM AND STOPPED AT 832AM. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. DO NOT BUY ANY IMPALA, UNLESS YOU HAVE A LIFETIME OF FIXABLE RECALLS. IT'S HOT IN ARKANSAS AND TO STALL FOR 15 MINUTES WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHEN YOU CALL CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY CAN NOT HELP YOU WITH ANYTHING. THEY JUST TAKE YOUR VIN NUMBER AND STATE OH I DON'T SEE A RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH YOU READ 5598 PROBLEMS/SAME ISSUE YOU ARE HAVING WITH YOUR CAR. ERRATIC TRANSMISSION IS THE WHOLE PROBLEM. SO TO CHEVROLET AND COMPANY PLEASE THINK ABOUT FAMILIES AND CHILDREN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SALE A NEW CAR WITH USED PRODUCTS. IT'S NOT COOL AND THE SAD PART IS YOU WILL NOT FIX IT. WARRANT MY BEHIND CHEVY NEED A LIFETIME OF RECALLS FOR EVERYONE ON ALL CARS. MAY JESUS BE WITH YOUR COMPANY. SINCERELY A MOTHER OF 3 BOYS. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN ROYALTON, VT TRAVELING FROM BURLINGTON, VT WHERE I WAS VISITING FAMILY TO MY HOME IN MAINE. I WENT OFF THE ROAD INTO THE DITCH IN THE MEDIAN, I'M NOT SURE WHY BUT THEY THINK I MAY HAVE HIT SOME BLACK ICE. I ENDED UP IN THE DARTMOUTH HOSPITAL REQUIRING MAJOR SURGERY TO MY BACK AS WELL AS SOME OTHER PROBLEMS. I SPENT 6 WEEKS IN REHAB LEARNING HOW TO WALK AGAIN. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE. I WAS WORRIED MORE ABOUT MY RECOVERY AT THE TIME AND NOT ABOUT WHY MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T INFLATE BUT I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL RECALLS LATELY THAT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I TRADED IN THE CAR A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER SO I DID NOT GET ANY NOTICES ABOUT THE PROBLEM.. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN A LAWSUIT FILED BUT I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT IT - PROBABLY BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAVE THE CAR. I WOULD LIKE SOME RESOLUTION TO THIS SITUATION

TWO DIFFERENT OUTCOMES BUT STEM FROM THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE TRYING TO START MY VEHICLE I GET A CLICK AND CARE WON'T START AT ALL. SOMETIMES AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT DOES FIRE UP. ALSO WHEN IT DOES START IT WILL SOMETIMES STALL. MOST RECENTLY WHILE TRAVELING DIDN'T THE INTERSTATE IT STALLED GOING 75MPH LEAVING ME TO COAST AND DISRUPT 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC.
