2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

THE ELECTRICAL IN THE CAR IS MESSED UP. I TURN TO THE RIGHT AND MY RADIO SHUTS OFF, ALSO IF ITS DARK OUT AND MY LIGHTS ARE ON AND I PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN THE LIGHTS DOWN AS I'M PRESSING THE BUTTON TO PUT THEM DOWN. *JS

IS OR WAS OR HAS THIS CAR HAD ANY RECALLS. FOR A 2006 VEH WITH ONLY 54,104 MILES ON IT AND HAVE TO PUT OUT THE MONEY TO PAY FOR WORK ON A CAR WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, SO FAR (INTERCONTROL MODULE) IS NOT RIGHT. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED THE WHOLE CAR TO NOT RESPOND AT ALL (IN LUCK WE WERE AT HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED)BUT, IF WE WERE GONE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IT SHUTS THE WHOLE CAR DOWN, THIS IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP *KB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN RAIN. 2ND FAILURE IN 19 MONTHS. WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY REPLACED BOTH TIMES. *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, HARD SHIFTS, BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. TRANSMISSION ACTS LIKE IT'S NOT IN GEAR, DOESN'T ENGAGE UNTIL ABOUT 2,000 RPM THEN SLAMS INTO GEAR. ALSO SLIPS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND AGAIN WHEN IN 4TH GEAR. *TR TRANSMISSION FAILURE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO FULLY ENGAGE IN TO ANY GEAR WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO, IT WILL SLIP AND CATCH FROM A STOP, THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILS TO LOCK UP AND ALL GEARS SLIP UNDER MODERATE TO HEAVY ACCELERATION.

THE REPLACEMENT SENSOR WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO CORRECT MY PROBLEM, THE MESSAGE SERVICE AIRBAG COMES UP ON THE DASH BENEATH THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATES THE AIR BAG IS OFF EVEN WITH THE PASSENGER SITTING IN THE SEAT, WILL COST ME $992.50 TO FIX, JUST FOR A CENSOR THIS SEEMS MORE LIKE A COMPUTER, NOT AN ITTY BITTY SENSOR. SOUNDS LIKE AN ENGINEERING DESIGN OVER-KILL, $992.50 REALLY, THIS IS UNREAL FOR A SENSOR!!!! SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE. IT ONLY TAKES 8/10THS OF AN HOUR TO FIX IT. THAT IS WHY I CALL IT AN ENGINEERING DESIGN OVER-KILL!!! I CAN SEE A COMPUTER COSTING $992.50 TO FIX, BUT NOT A CENSOR WHICH ONLY TAKES 8/10THS OF AN HOUR TO FIX. *TR

THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD. WE HAD IT SERVICED BY CHEVROLET TWO TIMES AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS THE BRAKE STOPPED HOLDING AGAIN. *TR

AT THE TIME MY CHEVY HAD 105,000 MILES ON IT THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, SO I GOT IT REBUILT IT HASN'T QUITE BEEN A YEAR A NOW THE NEW TRANSMISSION IS STALLING AND NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY AT TIMES. ALSO WHEN USING MY TURN SIGNAL TO TURN JUST AS THE WHEEL STRAIGHTENS UP AND THE TURN SIGNAL TURNS OFF IT TRIGGERS THE HIGH BEAMS TO COME ON, THIS ONLY HAPPENS IF IT'S COLD OUT OR RAINING. *TR

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. TRIED UNLOCKING AND LOCKING SEVERAL TIMES. SON WAS STUCK IN CAR SEAT UNTIL I COULD GET HIM OUT FROM THE OTHER SIDE. NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THERE WAS A CRASH AND I COULD NOT GET HIM OUT. HAVE SEEN LOTS OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET. SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOUDL BE ADDRESSED OR SOMEONE WILL END UP GETTING KILLED BECASUE THEY COULD NOT GET OUT. *TR
