2000 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

2000 CHEVY IMPALA 3.8L PASSLOCK SECURITY LIGHT ISSUE. MY CAR WILL NOT START B/C IT THINKS IT'S BEING STOLEN AND IT DISABLES THE CAR FROM STARTING. *TR

THE TURNING SIGNALS ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET IMPALA FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE NOW HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS AS A RESULT. A SIMPLE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THIS IS NOT A UNUSUAL PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. JUST PASSING THIS ALONG IN CASE ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2000 CHEVY IMPALA. MY CAR FAILS TO START BECAUSE OF THE PASSLOCK FEATURE. IT HAS HAPPEN 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. THE MOST RECENT TIME OCCURRED WHILE I WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. LUCKILY I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOME AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. *TR

TURN SIGNAL WILL GO OUT AT RANDOM TIMES AND WORK AGAIN ONCE I HIT THE HAZARD SWITCH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SECURITY LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. SHE BELIEVES THAT THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL AT TIMES OR NOT CRANK AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND FAIL TO RESTART. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE STILL WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ALMOST EVERY OTHER DAY AND ONLY THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATING CONSTANTLY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,908 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,103.

WHILE DRIVING, FOR NO REASON AT ALL, MY 2000 CHEVY IMPALA JUST DIES ON ME. IT LOCKS UP AND WON'T RESTART FOR 30 MINUTES. THIS HAPPENS 3 OR 4 TIMES PER WEEK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND ROAD CONDITIONS. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE LAST 30 DAYS. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND A BLOG WHERE AT LEAST 30 OTHER OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY IMPALA AND THE TURN SIGNALS FLASHER STOPS WORKING EVERY NOW AND THEN AND I FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TO PUSH THE HAZARD SWITCH A FEW TIMES TO GET THE SIGNALS TO START WORKING AGAIN. IT IS VERY HARD TO TELL WHEN THE SIGNALS STOP FLASHING BECAUSE THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON AND TURNING WITHOUT A SIGNAL IS NOT ONLY GOING TO GET ME A TICKET BUT IT'S DANGEROUS. I ALSO READ THAT CHEVY HAD TO DO A RECALL ON THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM ON THE MALIBU BUT HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THE IMPALA. *TR

2000 CHEVROLET IMPALA CAUGHT A FIRE AND TOTALED. CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE AFTER THE FIRE. *NJ
