This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Impala. While driving 30-35 mph, the engine separated from the engine compartment's subframe. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.
Traction control system activates when it should not. Brake pedal has buzzing noise and pressure while braking from around 35 mph. Causes the vehicle to jerk to the right. Also, when the tcs activates when it should not, it does not allow for acceleration and has left me pulling out of a side street to almost getting struck by cross traffic. Both are very dangerous situations!
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated the speedometer failed which made it impossible for him to see the speed he was driving. The vehicle also had water penetrate the front passenger floor. The vehicle will be taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The VIN was not available. The failure and the current mileage was 80,000.
Originally radio failed to work. Went to the dealer and was told that I would need to replace the radio. After further investigation, found out that there is a wiring harness that was corroded in the passenger rear seating area. This harness also controls the warning bells for the entire car. There is definitely a water entry issue with this model. Now the air bag light is coming on and you can hear water 'sloshing" around in the dashboard area. Water is coming in to the passenger floor area.
