| 2002 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | I HAVE A 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA LS. BOUGHT USED IN 2005 HAD 72,000 MILES. IT NOW HAS 89,800 MILES. SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BCM MODULE, REBUILT TRANSMISSION, REPLACE THE PCM MODULE, REPLACE ALL FOUR ROTORS ALONG WITH BRAKE PADS ALL AROUND, AND NOW MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL HAS STOPPED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WORKS FINE. WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS WORKING THE HAZARDS WORK FINE AS WELL, BUT WHEN THE LEFT ISN'T NEITHER DOES THE HAZARD LIGHTS. ALONG WITH THE PROBLEM IT DISENGAGES THE TRACTION CONTROL, WHICH THEREFORE DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL. I READ ON A FORUM THAT REPLACING THE HAZARD SWITCH WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER NOT MY CASE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL MODULE, BUT THE PART IS 299.99 PLUS LABOR OR THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY COULD TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM, BUT AT ASTRONOMICAL LABOR CHARGES. FROM ALL THE FORUMS I'VE READ AND MY OWN PROBLEMS THE 2000-2002 IMPALAS ARE NOTHING, BUT GARBAGE! THIS WILL BE MY LAST AMERICAN MADE CAR! VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER. *TR |
| 2001 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON, LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF (ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT) CLICKING NOISE, RADIO LOCKS, BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. CLICKING NOISE HAPPENS WHETHER THE CAR IS ON OR NOT. CANNOT UNLOCK OR LOCK CAR WITH THE REPORT. I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE BLOGS ABOUT THIS. THERE IS A BULLETIN FROM GM #04-08-47-003 SO OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR |
