Love driving in the summer with only hot air blowing out of my vents. Worst car I've ever owned.

There was a multitude of problems fixed by replacing the body control module. It all started with the the headlights constantly flickering on and off if using the automatic lights. The lights would work correctly if manually turned on but the relay clicking could still be heard. Then the security light came on, but the vehicle would still start. Then the temperature gauge quit working. It was one thing after another but all were fixed by replacing the body control module at a cost of approx. $400.

Impala LS

  • 78,000 miles

Intermittent electrical problem prevents blower, rear defogger, and AC from turning on at start-up. Components return to normal after several minutes of driving. Dealer cannot find problem, cleaned batter cable. In bad weather windows fog with no way to clear.
