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 2008 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while having maintenance performed on the vehicle, the technician made her aware that there was a leak coming from the cooling reservoir and gaskets. As a result, the seals on the motor mount and a new coolant reservoir would need to be installed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000.
The vehicle made a loud screeching noise. I can't remember if I touched anything, but the vehicle stalled while in motion. I put the car in park, and was able to restart with no problems. I then drove slowly and turned on the air; when I changed the flow of the air to flow from within the car, it made the screeching noise and stalled again. Restarted the car, turned on the air and it stalled again. I took it to the Chevrolet dealership and they said that the ac compressor had failed and was tearing up the engine belt, which would also have to be replaced. With parts and labor, I was quoted $1200.
