IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC MY 2011 IMPALA STOP ACCELERATING. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND RPM WAS REACTING BUT NO ACCELERATION. I COULDN'T EVEN PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE OF NO ACCELERATION. I'VE SEEN ONLINE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH THEIR IMPALA. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAD DRIVEN APPROX. 8 MILES ON AN EXPRESSWAY....WHEN I EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 10 MPH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR IN REVERSE FROM THEN ON. WHEN I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IT WAS DARK AND HAD SEDAMENTS IN IT. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 86000 MILES. I ALWAYS HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. EVIDENTLY, THEY DIDN'T CHECK ALL THE FLUIDS LIKE THEY PROMISED.

TRANSMISSION REPLACED DUE TO TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. 77000 MILES ON MY 2011 IMPALA. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN HARD. DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH- THE VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. VERY SCARY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT. I WAS FEARFUL BECAUSE THE STREET I WAS ON WAS ONLY ONE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION, AND NOT MUCH OF A SHOULDER. I FELT VERY LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY. THIS I BELIEVE COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AT A VERY SLOW SPEED TO A DEALERSHIP THAT WAS LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. SAD PART I WAS OVER 300 MILES FROM HOME. TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE CAUSED HEAVY METAL DEBRIS IN THE TRANSMISSION LEAVING ME WITH A BILL TOTALING $3368.52. (PLUS OTHER EXPENSES DUE TO MY DISTANCE FROM HOME.)

PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR THE TRANSMISSION DIED, CAUSING THE CAR TO COME TO A DEAD STOP: THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED NOW, HUSBAND HIT HIS HEAD OFF STEERING WHEEL, IF WE WERE ON A HIGHWAY DOING 60MILES PER HOUR WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE CAR IS NOW AT TOM HESSER DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY WILL PAY HALF OF THE 4K TO FIX IT, THE CAR HAS 60400 SOME MILES ON IT, JUST TURNED 5 YRS OLD. I DO NOT THINK THIS CAR IS SAFE IF THE TRANSMISSION WILL JUST DIE AT ANY MOMENT WITHOUT WARNING.. IT DOES NOT HAVE OVER 100K MILES ON IT NOR DOES IT HAVE 61K MILES. THIS CAR MAKE AND MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR EVERYTHING BUT THE TRANY AND ENGINE SO FAR, THE CAR IS NOT SAFE PERIOD..THE DEALERSHIP WHO IS DOING REPAIRS IS NOT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED FROM, , BUT IT IS A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. AND THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY HALF FOR REPAIRS, I THINK GMC SHOULD PAY THE ENTIRE COST FOR THE REPAIRS.

MY CAR JUST REACHED 79,000 MILES AND I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC! THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME DRIVE. IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED BACK UP BUT THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A STABILITRAK ERROR MESSAGE. THEN A MESSAGE SAYING ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. NOW THE CAR'S ENGINE IS MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE AND IS HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING WITHOUT MAKING A LOUD SOUND LIKE AIR TRYING TO BLOW THROUGH A PINHOLE. THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT I TOOK IT TO WANTS ALMOST $700 JUST TO TAKE IT APART TO SEE WHAT IT WRONG WITH IT, WHICH DOESN'T INCLUDE THE POSSIBLE AMOUNT FOR REPAIR. AND THEY DID NOT LOOK AT ANY OF THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS LIKE REQUESTED! NOW THEY ARE SAYING MY CAR IS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AT ALL. I WENT ONLINE AND STARTED TO RESEARCH THESE ISSUES AND FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE EXACT ISSUES MOST EVEN THE SAME YEAR. THERE IS NO REASON THAT A CAR WITH 79000 MILES SHOULD HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS. I OWNED A 2003 IMPALA PRIOR TO THIS ONE AND HAD ALMOST 125000 MILES BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS 2011. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS GOING ON WITH THIS CAR FOR IT NOT TO BE RECALLED.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SHOOK AND JERKED THEN THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRACK, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SHOWED UP ON MY DASHBOARD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SO DID THE TRACTION LIGHT AND THEY STAYED ON. THE RPM METER IS AVERAGING BETWEEN 3 AND 4 WHEN IT USUALLY AVERAGES BETWEEN 1 AND 2. ALSO, THE SPEED HAS BEEN REDUCED.

NHTSA ODI 10871113

SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON THIS MORNING. THEN A MESSAGE SAYING MY ENGINE POWER IS REDUCING. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 WEEKS AGO. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THIS BECAUSE IT WAS OVER THE 120000 MILE WARRANTY (BUT I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 WEEKS AGO!!!)

WHEN YOUR AT A COMPLETE STOP VEHICLE GIVES A HARD JERK LIKE SOMEONE HAS REAR ENDED YOU. ALL OF THE IMPALA'S HAVE A FAILED TRANSMISSION PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID WHICH CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS WHEN IT JERKS VERY HARD CAUSING SOMEONE TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING WILL COME ON LETTING YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM. YEARS 2000 TO 2015 ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS INJURED.

WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, AS I ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR TO DRIVE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR WILL STALL FOR A SECOND, MAKE NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A WHINE, AND THEN JUMP FORWARD LIKE IT'S HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS EVERY SO OFTEN, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO CAR X, MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, AND ANOTHER LOCAL GOODYEAR TIRES DEALER, BUT NOBODY HAS ANY IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER AND TECHNICIANS HAVE LOOKED AT IT, BUT JUST SCRATCH THEIR HEADS. THERE IS EVEN A FORUM ONLINE REGARDING THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER CHEVY IMPALA OWNERS [XXX] AND OWNERS SEEM TO PUT LOTS OF MONEY INTO THE ISSUE BUT WITH NO RESOLVE. ** THE ISSUE SEEMS TO REMEDY ITSELF WHEN I TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL. ** THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS WHERE I'LL BE PULLING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE CAR WILL STALL AND I'LL FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO BE HIT BECAUSE THE CAR "DIES" FOR A SECOND. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I PURCHASED THE IMPALA ON JUNE 16, 2014, THERE WAS SOME POPPING NOISE FROM THE DASH BOARD ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE SALE'S MANAGER HAD ME BRING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR THE NEXT DAY. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED WITHIN 2-3 DAYS. I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE ACTUATOR SENSOR. IN JANUARY 2015 THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY IT WAS UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. NOW 8 MONTHS LATER TO THE DATE (MARCH 12, 2015), THE STABILIZER TRACK-ENGINE REDUCE POWER LIGHT AND MESSAGE CAME. I CAME TO A STOP. CUT THE CAR OFF FOR 15-20 MINUTES ONLY FOR THE LIGHT TO REAPPEAR AFTER MOMENTS OF DRIVING. I GOT TO WORK. THE CAR SAT FOR 9 HOURS AND STILL THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING THE CAR. I FOUND OUT IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO COVER IT. I AM AT MY WITS END AND NOW THE FINANCE COMPANY WANTS ME TO CONTINUE TO PAY MY MONTHLY CAR NOTE FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT TOTALLY DRIVABLE...WHY??? GM SHOULD PAY!!! *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK GOING 65 DOWN A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE, STABILITY CONTROL OFF, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CAR BEGIN TO LOOSE SPEED. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WITHOUT ANYONE HITTING HER. WHEN SHE GOT TO THE SHOULDER THE CAR WAS RUNNING REALLY ROUGH. SHE TURNED IT OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED IT. IT THEN RAN FINE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. SHE MADE IT HOME AND WAS SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO WORK LAST NIGHT AND MADE IT ABOUT HALFWAY TO WORK AND IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING EXCEPT I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO MAINTAIN 45MPH. WHEN I CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING SO ROUGH THE CAR WAS VERY HARD TO STOP. I MADE IT TO WORK. WHEN I CAME OUT TO GO HOME THE FIRST STOP LIGHT I CAME TO IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. FROM THE LIGHT I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT TO GO 25MPH. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED. EVERYTHING WAS FINE AGAIN. I MADE IT ABOUT 5 MILES AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN 45MPH IN THE 55MPH ZONE I WAS IN. I TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A THROTTLE BODY. THEY ALSO SAID GM HAS HAD ALLOT OF ISSUES WITH THESE. I CALLED MY GM DEALER TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER 5 YEAR 100K MILE WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THAT IT ISN'T. IF THERE HASN'T BEEN AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY ONE OF THESE THROTTLE BODY ISSUES YET I WOULD BE SURPRISED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN'T GO. *TR

WITH NO DASHBOARD WARNING AT ALL, MY TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY 4-YEAR OLD IMPALA. THE ONLY CLUE I HAD THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG, WAS A "SURGING" OF THE ENGINE ABOUT 10 DAYS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, WHICH I HAD ATTRIBUTED TO BE FUEL INJECTION PROBLEMS. *TR

NHTSA ODI 10681636

TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO COAST TO A SAFE PLACE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WOULD NOT RE-ENGAGE FROM PARK, NEUTRAL, OR ANY OTHER GEAR. HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT. TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. NO WARNING - NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS CAME ON 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. TURNED CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, AND LIGHTS WENT OFF AND WERE ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THAT MONDAY, TOOK CAR TO DEALER, AND WERE TOLD IT WAS A PART THAT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL. OUT OF WARRANT, BUT THEY COVERED IT ANYWAY CONSIDERING I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SAME LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN ROUGHLY ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, NOTICEABLY WHEN IT'S WET OUT. LIGHTS WOULD EVENTUALLY GO OFF AFTER CAR SITS SO AFTER READING THREADS, I ASSUMED THIS WAS NORMAL WHEN IT WAS WET OUT. LATE 2013 LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, HAD WHEEL BEARING REPLACED AND LIGHTS WENT OFF FOR A WHILE. EARLY 2014 LIGHTS ARE ON AGAIN, AND I START NOTICING HARD SHIFTING IN TRANSMISSION, BUT IGNORED BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S NO WAY MY TRANS COULD BE BAD CONSIDERING THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. THANKSGIVING 2014, I WAS PLANNING A SHOPPING TRIP TO INDIANAPOLIS, AND NO LIGHTS, BUT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHATSOEVER, AND I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED. TOOK CAR TO SEVERAL DEALERS AND SOME SAID IT WAS THE TRANS AND SOME SAID IT WAS NOT. EITHER WAY, IT WAS GOING TO COST ME A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY I DID NOT HAVE CONSIDERING THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT 3000 MILES AFTER WARRANTY ENDED. HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED, AND WALLLAH LIGHTS ARE BACK ON. ONE DEALER SAID I HAD ANOTHER BAD WHEEL BARING, BUT DID NOT PRODUCE ANY PAPER WORK WITH THE CODE. TOOK IT ELSEWHERE FOR A SECOND OPINION, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE DEALER FORGOT TO CONNECT THE LINE THAT'S CONNECTED TO THE WHEEL BARING. LIGHTS ARE NOW OFF AND I'M HAPPY. TODAY, THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS, NOW THAT I'M FLAT BROKE AND HAVE $30 TO MY NAME, LIGHTS ARE BACK ON AND I'M MENTALLY EXHAUSTED. CANNOT REPORT AS A LEMON BECAUSE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LONGER THAN 1 YEAR, AND MY WARRANTY IS EXHAUSTED. *TR

UPON CRANKING THE CAR USING THE KEY, THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A TICKING NOISE ON THE RIGHT SIDE APPEARING TO COME FROM THE ENGINE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE KNOB IS SET TO HEAT; HOWEVER, WHEN THE NOISE STOPS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS MOVED TO COLD AIR. THE CAR WAS SERVICE WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN JUNE 2014 BY WILLETT HONDA SOUTH. NOW, DECEMBER 2014, THE NOISE HAS STARTED AGAIN, AS WELL AS, THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE IN THIS CAR!!! *TR
