The driver side sun visor does not stay up and it falls into your view when driving. This is a common issues with these cars. This should be a safety recall as it could fall into view of the windshield unexpectedly and cause a car crash.
Just purchased on 02/02/2015 the car comes with remote start so cleaned the icy snow off the car and windows. Got into the drivers side put on my seatbelt the car had shut off after warming up.so I put the key in and started the car pushed the the spray button. The passenger side worked the drivers side did not.after going online I found out page after page of complaint's why no recall this is a safety issue they say it cost $300 to $600 each side GM made the problem they should bay to fix it.
The contact owns 2006 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the rear passenger's side power window assembly failed. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the power window regulator assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,562.
The inside of the cars windows would fog and then ice up during last years winter. Could not see out the windows except small area of drivers side front window. Took into dealerships twice and they could not figure out why or fix it.
There is a very common problem with 2006-2013 Impala rear defrosters not working. Look on youtube and you will see the problem is very evident. GM/Chevy used a small bulkhead connector for the high current defroster wires located on the passenger side kick plate of the 2006-2013 Impala's that burns out. This really should be a recall due to a fire hazard. The "how to" fix on you tube looks like it will work, but this really should be addressed and fixed by GM. Inexperienced mechanics trying to fix this may get hurt, let alone increasing the electrical/fire hazard by improperly "fixing" the problem. GM is recalling their vehicles for everything else so why not fix a known problem? sad for people in winter climates not being able to see out their rear window due to this systemic problem associated with the Impala.
