I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60 MPH GOING UPHILL. I DID NOT HAVE IT IN CRUISE CONTROL. IWAS PASSING A SEMI. SUDDENLY THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT, AND THE BRAKES SEEMED HARD TO PUSH. I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED. I PUT IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO CHECK AND SEE IF ONE OF THE TIRES HAD BLOWN OUT, I LEFT IT RUNNING. THE TIRES WERE FINE. I GOT BACK IN AND PUT IT IN GEAR AND EASED DOWN ON THE GAS TO SEE HOW IT WAS GOING TO GO. IT DID FINE, I DROVE IT THE REST OF THE DAY AND IT SEEMED TO BE NORMAL. I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD BE CONNECTED TO THE IGNITION RECALL BACK IN 2014 AND WORRY THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. MY HUSBAND IS ATTEMPTING TO GET IT LOOKED AT BY MECHANIC.

VEHICLE STATIONARY. FIRST OF ALL, CAR KEY BROKE OFF IN THE LOCK. THE BOTTOM HALF IS EMBEDDED IN THE LOCK SO THE SPARE KEY WILL NOT GO IN. THEREFORE, CANNOT LOCK THE CAR AT ALL. SECOND, LEFT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS NOT ON. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. I TRANSPORT FOUR SENIORS TO AND FROM CHURCH EVERY WEEK, AND THEY HAVE A VERY HARD TIME GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR FROM THE RIGHT DOOR ONLY IN HAVING TO SLIDE SO FAR OVER. ALSO, SINCE THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED, THEY CANNOT LEAVE THEIR THINGS IN IT FOR FEAR OF SOMEONE TAKING THEM. WHY OH WHY DIDN'T CHEVY PUT A LOCK ON BOTH OF THE FRONT DOORS??

THE RACK AND PINION IS OUT OF THE CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2016 AND THE STEERING HAS LOCKED UP ON ME. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR.

MY 2007 IMPALA RECENTLY SHUT OFF ON ME WOULDN'T MOVE IN DRIVE AS I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS IT HAS BEEN JERKING SINCE I HIT 135000 MILES IT HAS A STRONG ODOR WHEN I CUT MY AC ON IN AS MY CAR IS RUNNING THE ENGINE HAS A STRONG ODORNOW MY CAR WANT DRIVE AT ALL AN I SEE IT HAS 3 RECALLS ON IT PLEASE LET ME WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR BECAUSE THAT WAS SO SCARY HAVING BREAK DOWN ON ME IN TRAFFIC.

IN 2014 I BOUGHT THIS CHEVY IMPALA FROM A LOCAL DEALER. OVER TIME A STRONG ODOR SKUNK LIKE SMELL RADIATES FROM THE VEHICLES INTERIOR. AFTER TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IT STILL WOULDN'T GO AWAY. I RECENTLY DID SOME ONLINE INVESTIGATION AND FOUND OUT GM ISSUED A TSB #08-08-110-019 FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX BECAUSE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A REALLY STRONG ODOR AFRAID SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET SICK. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS TO GET IT FIXED, I THINK GM SHOULD BE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

CURRENTLY CAR HAS 140,000 MILES. 1. CAR HESITATES AND STALLS INTO GEAR. IT ACCELERATES SLOWLY AND JERK AND JERKS AND JOLTS INTO TRAFFIC CONSTANTLY. STARTED AROUND AT 130,000 MILES. 2. EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE HEAT FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER AND VICE VERSA, IT MAKES A LOUD CLICKING AND CLACKING SOUND THAT LASTS FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND IT IS LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD OUTSIDE THE CAR. STARTED AROUND 10,000 MILES. 3. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE DASH STARTS CHIMING AND DISPLAYING THE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW AND TO STOP THE ENGINE. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT LOOKED FINE. THIS IS ONGOING AND IS FRUSTRATING. STARTED AROUND 125,000 MILES. 4. I AM BEGINNING TO NOTICE THAT ALL OF THE ABOVE DEFECTS OCCUR ONCE MY CAR REACHES A CERTAIN MILE.

IN DECEMBER MY CAR WHILE DRIVING, I EXPERIENCED REDUCED ENGINE POWER THE SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CAR CUT OFF. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC PRAYING THAT WE WOULD NOT BE HIT WHEN EVERYONE IS DOING 70 MPH. WHEN THE REDUCED POWER LIGHT COMES ON THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ONLY BE TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT I CAN START BY REPLACING THE PCM MODULE AND THAT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A CHEVY DEALERSHIP NOT KNOWING WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEY CARS. ESPECIALLY A CAR THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH SO MANY OF ITS CAR ACROSS THE NATION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCE SINCE DECEMBER AS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AFTER HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NOT FEELING CONFIDENT IN $1,000 REPAIR THAT THE DEALERSHIP THEMSELVES ARE NOT SURE IS GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IN HOPES OF GETTING A SOLUTION AND SOLID PLAN. I THINK THAT GM NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A GOOD SOLID SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND NOT GUESSING FIXES TO MAKE MONEY. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE LIVES ARE BEING PUT IN DANGER. LIKE I FELT MINE WAS WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE LINE ON A HIGHWAY, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH AND YOUR CAR REDUCE POWER AND THEN SHUT DOWN.
