2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

I HAD JUST STARTED DRIVING TO WORK AROUND 8:00 AM. GOT ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND HAD GOT STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I WENT TO ACCELERATE I FELT A HARD JERK FROM THE VEHICLE AS THE RPM'S WENT UP AND THE VEHICLE WENT NOWHERE. AFTER READING REVIEWS AND ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES IT LOOKS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO GO. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT GM KNOWS OF THE ISSUE TSB# 07-07-30-012C. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A INTERSECTION AND MY CAR STALLED AND A PERSON COMING FROM OPPOSITE DIRECTION RAN THE LIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE BECAUSE MY CALL STALLED AND THEN A FEW SECTION IT PULLED OFF.THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I KNOW YOU GUYS SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU GUYS ARE IGNORING THIS ISSUE ARE JUST WAITING FOR A PRETTY BAD ACCIDENT TO OCCUR I HOPE NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS THROUGH OUT THIS WORLD NO MONEY, CHILDREN AND ELDERLY GETTING MURDERED, AND THE FACT THE WE TRY TO DO BETTER TO GET BETTER ITS BEEN COMING HARDER BUT, I KNOW GOD HAS A PLAN TO HEAL THIS WORLD. SO, I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSE CAUSE I FAILED THE EMISSION TEST AND WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATE FOR THAT AS WELL ALSO TO GET THAT REMOVED OFF MY EMISSION FILE THAT I FAILED OUT OF ALL THE CARS NEVER FAILED A TEST BEFORE AND I DON'T WANT THAT ON MY RECORD. THANK *TR

WELL FOR A MONTH I BEEN GETING POWER REDUCE INGINE ON THE DASH BOURD I GOT MY HUSBAND TO CHECK IT OUT AND HE CANT BELIVE WHAT HE SAW DID SOME RESEACH ON LINE AND LOOK LIKE THIS IS A COMMAND PROBLEM SO HE BOUGHT THE THROTTLE BODY AND NO LUCK SO THEN BOUGHT THE PEDAL POSSION SENSOR HOPE GM CAN REIMBURSE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.I SPENT ALREADY CLOSE TO $500.00 AND AM STILL WORKING ON THE CAR PLEASE HELP...IT NOT COOL THAT GM IS IGNORING THE SITUATION IT LOOK LOOK THERE AWARE OF IT.... *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY. SINCE THEN IT COMES ON MORE FREQUENT. CAUSING CAR TO ACCELERATE VERY SLOW, AND IN SOME CASES STALLING. NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS BUT ONLY 1 RECALL. I WILL NEVER BUY A GM PRODUCT AGAIN. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL GM VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS HARD FROM A STOP IT TAKES TIME FOR SOMETHING TO CATCH THEN IT JERKS AND GOES, WHEN SPEEDING UP WHEN DRIVING, IT JERKS REAL HARD WHEN IT SHIFTS. BAD TRANSMISSION. LEAKS OIL, HEADLIGHTS COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, DRAINS THE BATTERY. THIS CAR IS A P.O.S. *TR

THE REAR DOORS WILL NOT FROM EITHER THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE REGARDLESS OF ALL ACTIONS TO OPEN THEM. REAR PASSENGERS HAVE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE BY CLIMBING OVER THE FRONT SEATS TO EXIT FROM THE FRONT DOORS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE COMPUTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

DURING NORMAL USE THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BUCKLE WILL NOT ENTER INTO THE LATCH SO THE SEAT BELT CANNOT BE FASTENED. THIS IS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATES THIS IS NOT A NO CHARGE REPAIR OF THIS CRITICAL SAFETY ITEM (DEALER ESTIMATED $180 TO $200 TO REPLACE). IS THIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH NHTSA RULES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR SEAT BELTS? *TR

SEEMS LIKE A CHEMICAL SMELL LIKE EXHAUST IS COMING INTO THE CAR. MAKES YOU COUGH. YOU CANT SEE ANY SMOKE . WONDERING IF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS TOO MUCH BACK PRESSURE CAUSING EXTRA EXHAUST TO COME IN THE FRESH AIR INTAKE. THE SAME EFFECT ON A RENTAL 2012 IMPALA WHICH HAS THE SAME DESIGN, THAT CAR HAD ONLY 16,000 MILES. SEEMS WORSE WHEN THE OUTSIDE AIR IS ON, NOT SO MUCH WHEN THE RECIRCULATION IS ON. *TR

I DID NOT HAVE A ACCIDENT HAD THE RECALL FIXED BY GWANTNEY CHEV., IN JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS IN JUNE 2011 AND DECEMBER 2012 THE VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM POWER STEERING COOLING LINE. MESSED UP. *TR
