2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

2004 CHEVY IMPALA - ABS LIGHT AND TRAC OFF LIGHT HAVE INTERMITTENTLY GOING ON AND OFF, THEN THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO BECOME INOPERATIVE, NOW THE TACHOMETER GOES HAYWIRE AND IS STUCK OVER THE MAX. I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE, GIVES ME FALSE READINGS, GM SAID I HAD T OPAY $600 TO FIX IT, CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES, MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, WE ALL CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS ISSUE, WHICH IS FAULTY FROM THE FACTORY, GM SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE TO FIX. *TR

THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPPED WORKING. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT SHOW THE CORRECT SPEED. THE NEEDLE WOULD POINT DIRECTLY DOWN (NOT AT 0) AND THEN MOVE COUNTER CLOCKWISE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE VEHICLE HAS A 2003 COSCO CHILD SAFETY SEAT, MODEL NUMBER 22-100 FSM (NA). THE SEAT WAS MANUFACTURED ON MARCH 24, 2005. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING, HER DAUGHTER WAS SEATED FORWARD FACING IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT AND BEGAN CRYING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE SEAT. SHE NOTICED THAT THE LATCH CONNECTOR SOMEHOW BECAME UNLATCHED, WENT THROUGH THE SEAT, AND PUNCTURED A HOLE SO DEEP INTO THE CHILD'S RIGHT THIGH THAT SHE HAD TO GET 15 STITCHES. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND IS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. THE CONTACT HAS PICTURES AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. SHE STILL HAS POSSESSION OF THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT.

2004 CHEVY IMPALA WITH SEVERE VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE MECHANIC INFORMED HIM THAT THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS WERE SEVERELY WARPED. HE BELIEVES THAT THE ROTORS ARE POOR QUALITY AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED CONSTANTLY. *KB

THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE IS NOT READING CORRECTLY. FIRST, IT WAS SHOWING YOUR SPEED AS 120MPH, WHEN YOU WERE STOPPED. IT WAS NEVER ACCURATE. THEN ONE DAY, IT JUST STAYED AT 0MPH, EVEN WHEN YOU WERE MOVING. I HAD IT FIXED THROUGH A GM DEALERSHIP, AND THEY FIXED THE CLUSTER. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR, AND SAME PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO REALIZE THE DANGER WITH THIS DEFECT. IT IS NOT A CHEAP FIX EITHER. I AM SAVING MY RECEIPT IN HOPES THAT GM WILL REALIZE THE HAZARDS WITH DRIVING A CAR THIS WAY. *TR

FOR TWO YEARS THE PASSIVE SECURITY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND THE VEHICLE WONT START. WE HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR 20 MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF. CHEVROLET DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WANTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM HAPPENED ONLY ONCE A MONTH. NOW IT IS HAPPENING WEEKLY. PLEASE HELP.. *TR

SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE HAYWIRE. IT IS NOT REGISTERING THE CORRECT SPEED. IT IS GONE HAYWIRE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE'S. *TR
