MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AND CAUSED HER TO HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE CAR WOULD RESTART. SINCE THE FIRST TIME SHE HAD THIS HAPPEN AT LEAST 3 TIMES A YEAR SINCE. I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES AFTER SHE HAS TOLD ME IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND HAD OUR MECHANIC LOOK AT IT ALSO. ALSO HAVE HAD THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES NOT WORKING PROPERLY FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY, WE THINK THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PIN POINT IT. THE CHROME PLATE ALUMINUM ALLOY RIMS THE CHROME HAS BEEN FLAKING OFF SINCE THE CAR WAS 2 YEARS OLD AND WE NOW HAVE TO KEEP REFILLING THE TIRES WITH AIR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT GET A RUN AROUND THAT ITS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I HAVE TALKED TO A GENTLEMAN WHO ALSO HAS THE ONLY OTHER 2004 IMPALA SS IN OUR TOWN AND HE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS WE HAVE HAD AND GOTTEN SAME RESPONSE FROM OUR LOCAL DEALER WHERE WE BOTH BOUGHT OUR CARS FROM. MY IMPALA SS AT THIS TIME HAS JUST OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT AND IN ADDITION TO PROBLEMS MENTIONED ABOVE WE HAD TO HAVE POWER STEERING PUMP, RACK IN PINION AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED AND LOOKING LIKE THE RACK IN PINION IS GOING OUT AGAIN AS I WRITE THIS. I'VE BECOME VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHEVROLET OVER THIS CAR. *TR
