2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

BATTERY DIED WHILE THE CAR SAT IN THE GARAGE. VERY LOW MILEAGE. AFTER CHARGING CAR WAS ALRIGHT FOR A WEEK OR TWO. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY UNDER WARRANTY. SOLVED THE PROBLEM. *TR

DURING MARCH 2008 THE POWER STEERING PUMP KEPT BREAKING ON THE 2006 IMPALA, WE HAD TO TAKE IT IN 5 TIMES DURING MARCH THROUGH APRIL TO REPAIR IT, AND NOW DECEMBER 5TH 2008, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN, IT COULD OF BEEN DANGEROUS IF THE POWER STEERING FAULTED DURING DRIVING, AND A CRASH COULD OF BEEN CAUSED BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING. *TR

BATTERY DIED. MY CAR IS AN 2006. I WORK APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES FROM WORK GOING AND COMING. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN FEBRUARY 2007. IN AUGUST 2008 BY BATTERY DIED. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE FOR 89.00. I BELIEVE SOMETHING IN THE CAR IS CAUSING THE BATTERIES TO DIE IN THE CAR AS I HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF AT LEAST 4 OTHER PEOPLE WITH IMPALA THAT HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR TIME PERIOD. *TR

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES ON LONG INCLINE CAR'S FRONT-END AND INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE VERY BADLY. GM DEALERSHIP HAS MADE 6 ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR WITHOUT SUCCESS. GM FELT THEY COULD DO NOTHING ELSE TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. CASH SETTLEMENT WAS MADE. WE STILL HAVE WHAT FEELS LIKE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO AND WOULD APPRECIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS. THE PROBLEM BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL AT 20 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE FRONT ROTORS OVERHEATED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS IN JULY OF 2007. IN MAY OF 2008, THE FRONT ROTORS FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WILL NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER GIVING HIM A DISCOUNT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.
