2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

2010, CHEVROLET IMPALA. ON A ROUTINE TRIP TO THE BANK, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND MY GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE INTO A DRIVE POSITION. THE VEHICLE STARTED FINE, BUT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. I TOOK THE CONSOLE AND GEAR SHIFT LEVER APART AND FOUND A SNAPPED WIRE IN THE WIRING HARNESS. AFTER AN EXHAUSTIVE SEARCH, I FOUND THAT THE IMPALA HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AT LEAST SINCE 2006. THE ISSUE IS ALLEGEDLY CAUSED BY THE CONSTANT MOVEMENT OF THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER, CAUSING ONE OR MORE OF THE WIRES IN THE HARNESS TO BREAK. AN INVESTIGATION OF THE COSTLY REPAIR AND ON-GOING ISSUE FROM CHEVROLET IS IN ORDER.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LIGHTS START FLASHING ON DASH BOARD SAYING TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE PERFORMANCE REDUCED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN ON MAJOR HIGHWAY. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING!!!! BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS HURT OR WORSE. WENT TO AUTO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT IS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR GONE BAD ALREADY AT 56,103 ? I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR, AND ONLY HAD IT FOR 1 YEAR. I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING GM MAKES OR RECOMMENDED THERE VEHICLES TO FAMILY OR FRIENDS THIS IS RIDICULOUS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CARE ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY DO NOT. PLEASE DO A RECALL AND SAVE A LIFE !!!!! *JB

TRYING TO PULL INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND HAD TO LET OFF ACCELERATOR TO GET TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT. THIS LEFT ME HALF WAY OUT INTO TRAFFIC FOR JUST A SECOND. *TT

WHEN TURNING ON THE AIR, THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE GLOVE BOX. SOUNDS LIKE THE AIR DOOR ACTUATOR. IT WAS THE SAME THING WITH MY 2003 CHEVY IMPALA. CHECK ON YOUTUBE. THERE MORE AND MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART. JUST PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE ON JULY 24, 2013 AT A DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE PINION NUT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. UPDATED 1/13/15*CN *TR

CHEVY 2010 SHOWED A CODE OF SERVICE SAFETY LINK, TRACTION CONTROL ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUNCTIONS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *TR

MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, NO WARNING. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILITRAK". I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND AFTER A FEW MOMENTS I COULD DRIVE AGAIN. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2009 IMPALA AND THIS SAME THING HAPPENED! IT WOULD HAVE COST $1900 TO FIX WHICH IS WHY I JUST DECIDED TO UPGRADE AND BY ANOTHER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS BUT THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHTS STARTED STAYING ON. WHEN I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL TURN OFF AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. IN ADDITION, I HAVE HAD INSTANCES WHERE MULTIPLE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE'S POWER IS REDUCED BY 50% ACCORDING TO THE INDICATOR. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE LIGHTS "RESET". BUT THIS LATEST PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS HAS ME RATTLED. I REALLY DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $1500 OR MORE TO GET NEW AIRBAGS WHEN THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR. *TR

IN APRIL 2011, I WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WARNING READ REDUCE ENGINE POWER, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAC AND THEN ENGINE CUT OFF AND I COASTED TO SHOULDER OF HWY. THE CAR FINALLY STARTED BACK UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I HAD TO BUY $100 ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. NOW ON JUNE 28, 2013, ONLY 2 YEARS LATER, IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN SO I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. THE WARRANTY ON IT ONLY LASTED 12 MONTHS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN OCTOBER 2010 AND THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN APRIL 2011.THIS CAR IS JUST 3 YEARS OLD AND FROM READING ON THE WEB, THERE ARE ALOT OF CHEVROLETS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I'M READING ABOUT MODEL YEARS FROM 2007 WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. GM SHOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM BY NOW. I NEED HELP WITH THIS ISSUE!!!! *TR
