problem #8

Impala LS 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,000 miles

Couldn't shift out of park! Thank God I have a mechanic in my family, who was able to remove the center console and plug the wire back into the gear shift, but had to order a special piece to keep it in place. Cost was $0. I couldn't imagine what it would've been if I didn't have my brother in law.

Impala SS 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission

Luckily I am able to keep two cars or else I would not be able to get to work since the car runs fine but I cannot get the car out of Park to drive it. I start the car up but cannot shift into gear. Really frustrating since never got any warning. Just woke up one morning to go to work and I could not go anywhere.

very pissed the part is 250.00 to 300.00 to have fixed and I heard this has happened to a few of these cars there should be a recall on it so the dealer can fix it.

problem #1

Impala V6

This is the second time the car would not shift out of park. The dealer claimed I must have spilled a drink into the shifter (I did not). Now it has happened a second time in lees than a year. I did not spill any thing.
