MY VEHICLE, A 2005 CHEVY IMPALA, HAS HAD AN ISSUE CONCERNING MY FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST HAD DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WAS DAMAGED. I DID FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE THEY DISCOVERED I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME EXACT PART ON MARCH 12 OF 2007. WHEN I RETURNED TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE, THEY ALSO MENTIONED ANOTHER ISSUE ABOUT MY VEHICLES STEERING. THIS ALSO SHOWED UP ON THE LIST OF RECALLS FOR MY MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED REGARDING THE ISSUE OF WHY MY CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL, THEY STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE LIST OF CARS THEY FELT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I WAS CONCERNED AND WONDERING WHY WOULD MY VEHICLE NOT BE RECALLED ALSO WHEN THE SAME EXACT ISSUED OCCURRED ON MY VEHICLE AS WELL. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY IMPALA SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET, AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD WITH UNDER 75K MILES. SPEEDOMETER STEPPER MOTOR IS DEFECTIVE. NEEDS DEALERSHIP RECALL TO REPLACE SINCE SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

I OWNED A 2005 CHEVY IMPALA. THE ODOMETER ON THIS CAR GOES CRAZY. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. I SEARCH THE INTERNET AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME TROUBLE WITH CHEVY IMPALAS AND ODOMETER. THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS CAR AND HAVE THEM FIX. *TR

2005 IMPALA BOUGHT IN 96 W/25K MILES. AFTER 1 YEAR CAR HAD 37K MILES AND STARTED EXHIBITING CRAZY PERFORMANCE ON THE DISPLAY GAUGES. SOMETIMES THE GAS INDICATOR WOULD REFLECT AN EMPTY GAS TANK THOUGH IT WAS NEARLY FULL. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD REFLECT 35 MILES WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND OTHER SPEEDS WHEN IN MOTION. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD TACK WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT INDICATING EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES. I TRIED TO GET THIS FIXED BUT THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AND COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED WHEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS KNOWN FOR THESE ISSUES. NOW THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR A FEW MORE YEARS THE CRAZY MARKINGS ARE MORE FREQUENT. THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE BECAUSE I CAN NOT TELL WHEN I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER AND AFTER A NUMBER OF CALLS TO THE CORP OFFICE BY THE DEALER, GM WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS OTHER THAN CHARGE ME ALMOST $800. WHAT IRKS ME IS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON GM TRUCKS BUT NOT ON CARS. SHOULDN'T THAT BE A CLUE? I'LL GO BACK TO NISSAN AS SOON AS I CAN. *TR

MY 2005 IMPALA THAT HAS 47,000 MILES ON IS NOLONGER HAS WORKING SPEEDOMETER,GAS GAUGE OR TEMP GAUGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO I NOLONGER HAVE CORRECT INFORMATION ON THE SPEED THAT I'M DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I CAN ONLY USE MY EDUCATED GUESS ON HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE AND WILL NOT KNOW THAT MY CAR IS OVERHEATING. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND WE WOULDN'T KNOW UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH GM REGUARDING THE INSTURMENT CLUSTER PROBLEM THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAS ONLY BEEN RECALLED ON TRUCKS . THIS ISSUE THUR A MECHCANIC WILL COST ME $500.00 + TO HAVE FIXED HOWEVER READING COMPLAINTS ONLINE ITS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, JUST ABOUT ALL GM'S SEEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUE ( FAULTY STEPPER MOTOR'S ) FIND IT HARD TO BELIVE THAT GM WILL NOT RECALL THIS ISSUE WHEN THE PARTS WILL ONLY BE $15.00 TO REPAIR FOR THE SAFETY OF THERE CUSTOMERS NOR WILL THEY SELL YOU THE STEPPER MOTORS TO FIX THE ISSUE YOURSELF. I FEEL UNSAFE IN MY CAR THAT HAS LOW MILEAGE THAT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. PLEASE RECOMMEND A RECALL FOR THE CLUSTER SO THAT GM WILL HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMERS SAFETY. I USED TO THINK THAT BUY AN AMERICAN CAR WOULD DO GOOD THINGS FOR OUR COUNTRY HOWEVER NOW THINK THAT AMERICAN COMPANYS COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ITS FELLOW AMERICAN'S THERE SAFETY AND STANDING BEHIND THE PRODUCT THEY SOLD ... *TR
