On these cars the blend doors open when your driving and fogs windows to were you can't see mostly in the winter or colder temperatures. They start to click because of the bad design of them and sometimes the clicking goes away and sometimes it doesnt and the safety risk is when the doors malfunction it fogs windows and you can't see. Car was taking to auto shop and they confirm that's the problem and the parts for the car are under $100 but over $1200 for labor
While wife was driving at normal speed car went into limp mode many times over last few months causing accelerator pedal sensor codes.we have since changed this pedal sensor 6 times and same issue and codes pop up. We also changed throttle body w sensor and connector pigtail.I think there is corrosion in ECM and all these items have failed. These items should have been recalled as manufacturer defects in my opinion.we are still having problems same codes and im not the only one!
I was driving on the interstate and the dash lit up service traction system and engine power reduced. I was currently using cruise control so it shocked me when my car went from 75 to 40 quick. I was in five O'clock traffic and almost rear ended. Check engine light came on as well. I'm planning on getting it looked at.
ABS or airbag failure dash light came on and read that this is a recall issue that needs factory service to avoid bodily injuries or death. Transmission issues causing erratically shifting while driving or taking off from a stop
2008 chev Impala traction control light and then engine light come on. Acceleration and fuel mileage drop significantly. Reoccurs every so often while driving which affects ability to maintain good control.
During the summer months when the outside temperatures are high my backdoor locks will not unlock. The inside levers that pull up to unlock from inside are located at the farthest place away so I can't reach them from the front doors to unlock them that way. A small child in a car seat, someone unconscious or a pet could easily become trapped inside this vehicle. This happens if the car is running or not.
Takata recall I have a 2008 Chevy Impala I'm having problems with engine reduce car is jerking and slowing down I had the patio replaced and one sensor and now I am having a throttlebody put on hopefully hopefully this stops the problem but this issue has been going on for a very long time other people I have communicated with that has the same car as me are having the same problems unfortunately I look these problems up in our cars for the 2008 Chevy and was not on the recall list which I think that it should
I have a problem with putting my vehicle in gear when I am park on an incline. Or a high surface. The gears lever feels like it be stuck or locked. And it be hard to shift into gear.
Back door locks will not open from outside of vehicle with key fob or with inside power locks, (no outside key entry locks in back doors) they remain locked at all times and my grandchild must climb over front seat to get in the back of vehicle and vice a versa to get out. If accident occurs, fire starts baby or child could not get out!! I have complained to Chevy they will not do anything about it. I have read other complaints that all four door locks may go at some point. This is a defect and should be a recall. Chevy wants hundreds of dollars (each door lock)to have them fixed. I have never had a vehicle that this has happened to in 41 years of driving. I have hurt my own back trying to reach to the back seat from the front only. It started with one lock a few years ago and then the second one started. Please help!
Leaking and can't identify if front engine cover oil is leaking, or engine oil filter adapter gasket, or head gasket oil leak. Help! I was having my oil changed.
The car was in the drive way, it was on, the car read out on the dashboard ' service air bag' and the security lock came on. Car shut off and never turns back on.
First, the key will not come out of the ignition without pressing the release key switch located under the steering wheel. Then the car won't accelerate over 20 mph in D while driving anywhere, it won't go over 40 in D3. Not sure why but this is what is happening with the Impala.
In coming down a mountain the car trembles almost uncontrollably. I have had the rotars smoothed out last year and now I have the same problem again. My nephews wife has the same problem with her Impala and also my sister in law who also has an Impala. What can be done to fix this problem?
