| 2009 | ENGINE | TODAY MUST OF BEEN A RECORD FOR HOW MANY TIMES MY IMPALA SHUT ITSELF OFF! I LOST COUNT AT ABOUT 20 TIMES! IM OVER A HUNDRED MILES AWAY FROM HOME AT MY PARENTS HOUSE AND ON MY ATTEMPT TO GET HOME THE IMPALA WOULDN'T LET ME DRIVE MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE NOW HAD TO CALL OFF WORK AND AM OUT OF A DAYS WAGE BECAUSE I MADE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING THIS CAR. I HAVE NO MONEY AND CANT GET THIS FIXED FOR AWHILE BUT IT SEEMS THAT I MAY HAVE TO CHOSE BETWEEN EATING THIS MONTH OR FIXING THIS SO I GUESS ILL JUST GO HUNGRY. I'VE BEEN SEARCHING THIS SITE FOR OTHER YEAR IMPALAS AND IT SEEMS THAT EVERY SINGLE YEAR IS HAVING THIS ISSUE, EVEN THE 2014 MODELS! THIS HAS MADE ME REACH THE CONCLUSION THAT THE NHTSA DOESN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT OUR SAFETY NOR DO THEY ATTEMPT TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS BASED ON HOW MANY TIMES THIS COMPLAINT GETS REPORTED AND DOES ANYTHING EVER HAPPEN!? THE ANSWER IS NO! SO IM BASICALLY WRITING THIS TO INFORM OTHERS WHO PLAN ON GETTING AN IMPALA, PLEASE FOR THE SAFETY OF YOURSELF, THOSE AROUND YOU, AND YOUR WALLET DON'T! THIS IS MY LAST GM CAR I WILL EVER PURCHASE! NOT THAT GM REALLY CARES BECAUSE THEY ALREADY GOT MY $60,000 FOR MY LAST 3 CARS SO THIS PROBLEM WILL NEVER GET RECALLED, NOR WILL THIS WEBSITE ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE ANY TYPE OF HELP SO SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE AND BUY FOREIGN. *TR |
| 2010 | AIR BAGS | I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS BUT THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHTS STARTED STAYING ON. WHEN I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL TURN OFF AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. IN ADDITION, I HAVE HAD INSTANCES WHERE MULTIPLE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE'S POWER IS REDUCED BY 50% ACCORDING TO THE INDICATOR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE LIGHTS "RESET". BUT THIS LATEST PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS HAS ME RATTLED. I REALLY DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $1500 OR MORE TO GET NEW AIRBAGS WHEN THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR. *TR |
