| 2007 | POWER TRAIN | AT A STOP LIGHT. FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN GEAR,ENGINE REVS 2500/3000RPM, THEN TRANS GOES IN GEAR. TOLD BY DEALER IF USING LEFT FOOT ON BRAKE AT A STOP, THIS WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THEY OFFERED NO HELP. WAS TOLD WITHOUT CODES THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION! WHEN I GOT CAR IT WAS LEAKING TRANS FLUID.TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER,TO HAVE LEAK FIXED. AT ANOTHER SHOP I USE, WHILE CAR WAS ON LIFT YOU COULD SEE TRANS PAN ON VALVE BODY HAD BEEN OFF. TRANS HAS FOR SURE BEEN WORKED ON! AS YOU MIGHT GUESS IT WILL NOT DO THIS AT THE DEALER.I LET THE CAR WITH THEM FOR 1 WEEK,FOR THEM TO DRIVE.WHEN I GOT CAR BACK THEY PUT ALL OF 3MILES ON IT. *TR |
| 2008 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2008 CHEVY IMPALA, I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR 1 1/2 AND NOT EVEN A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT, I START EXPERIENCING THE (TCS) TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR - WHICH ALTERNATIVELY REDUCE THE SPEED OF THE ENGINE; IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY,... I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED ON THE CAR, AND THEY READER SAID IT WAS DUE TO A CYLINDER 5 MISFIRE.... MY CAR IS A 6 CYLINDER, IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AS WHEN THE (TCS) DOES COME ON' THE REDUCE ENGINE SPEED IS WELL UNDER THE HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT. OTHER CONCERNS THAT ARISE IS THAT SENSE THIS SENSOR HAS BEEN OWN, IT' HAS ACCUMULATED OTHER SENSORS' (ABS) (!) AND THE THROTTLE PEDAL SENSOR. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE GM TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL ON THIS, AND WAS ADVISE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I THINK THIS IS A HUGE DANGER, AS THIS IS A COMMONLY USED CAR IN THE U.S & IF THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THUS FAR OVER THE SAME ISSUE, WHY HASN'T ANYTHING BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE? WHAT IF YOU'VE WORKED HARD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE YOU WANT;& HAVE TO PAY OUT OF COST; OTHER THAN BASIC MAINTENANCE? *TR |
