| First at buying my chevy impala it had 115,000mi on it already but desperatly needed a car being a single mother. after having the car a little over a month the fuel injectors blew where my car would no longer start. got it fixed. next i had to keep putting power steering fluid in (once every week) went to a mechanic, he said my power steering is going to eventually go.. next 2 months after that my car caught on fire through the lighter. electrical. called the fire dept. they had to cut the wires and pull the fuze. 2 months after that, my transmission blew. just like that. i was driving on the high way and approached an accident. after coming to a complete stop tried to pick speed back up and it wouldnt go anymore than 15 mph. i pulled off to a rest area, sat there for 30mins. reversed out of the parking lot, put it in drive, it wouldnt budge... not to mention a month after buying the car. the turn signals,, brake lights, cruise control, flashers all worked when they wanted too and not when i needed it too. came close to a few people running in the back of me due to back lights not working.. and my temp, gage, speedometer and gas gage do not work. id be in park with a full tank of gas, it says im going 80mph and gas is empty.. hate this car with a passion.. very dangerous car...would never recommend this car to anyone.... | |||

| 1) tried to slow car down. car would not turn nor halt. ended up hitting the vehicle in front of me. restored it 100%. 2) a year later, had 3 brand new rack and pinion's replaced in one month. had the vehicle checked out. the a-frame is in excellent shape and so is the area surrounding the rack and pinon. have pictures and mechanics as proof. 3) called the chevy company & was told that the car was manufactured in wisconsin. they claim they saw no reason to help with the rack & pinion as those cars were recall-free. 4) car leans towards oncoming traffic at times (this started after each rack and pinion was replaced). there is also a 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock dead zone in the steering column. steering used to feel a bit normal. it was not like this until i had a new rack and pinion put on. twice (in between) the boot would excessively leak (as did the original from chevy). 5) when i turn the wheel out of the driveway, the car makes kick drumming grinding sounds. was told this was normal. it is irritating though. 6) the car didn't even hit it's 5th year (being new) before it started to rust paint off the top of its roof. i live where there is no snow or coast, and extremely little ice. 7) the check engine light never goes off. had it checked. was told it was fine. 8) was driving right next to a cop going down a steep hill when the speedometer stuck at 10 mph. i crossed my fingers that i wasn't speeding since i kept my speed next to the officer. replaced. 9) combo turning signal & cruise broke off the steering for no reason during a turn. replaced. 10) locks me out off & on for no reason. 11) this car is my baby as it was one of the last thing i got that was my mother's before she died. it is also my first car that has seen me through (and still) my college years. it is very sentimental to me for those reasons. my dream is to keep this car even when it's a classic. | |||

| 2004 chevrolet impala power steering locks making driver unable to turn car during rain or driving through puddles. started out happening only a second or two, but got progressively worse. several times, engine cut off, or i had to cut it off to be able to restore power steering. had it fixed by dealer who replaced cluster. it did it again the very next rain. no accident but a near miss because i could not get out of the way of a construction site dump truck. i was told i was driving through puddles too fast. i live in florida, and there is a lot of rain and poor drainage. other cars going speed limit were not having this problem. it is very dangerous, as i drive a carpool of four children to school. i am sure a manufacture problem, since i saw other similar complaints on twitter *cn *tr | |||

| Began noticing clicking in steering during turns. my 2004 had approximately 21,000 miles on it at that time. took it to dealer who test drove it and commented that chevrolet has had an on-going problem with the steering shaft. a fix would cost over $300. i wrote several letters to gm asking why i was asked to pay for repairs on an item they sold knowing it was defective. they eventually offered to pay half the cost of the repairs. i had it repaired by the dealer at a cost of around $140. after describing it to friends who also owned chevy's (trucks) they commented that theirs was doing the same thing. made us wonder why a recall wasn't ordered.. *tr | |||

| The speedometer started getting stuck about six months ago. for about eight months i have noticed that when i turn the steering wheel i hear a noise in the front of the car, like a knock or something. also within the last couple of months i have also smelled gas when i first start the car , my husband could not see any leakage or anything until last week. it was leaking from the fuel regulator valve. now the transmission is starting to shift hard sometimes. i haven't had the money to get it all checked out by the manufacturer but i was wondering if there have been any complaints on any of these things. also i can hear a whistling sound when i press the accelerator. and my husband just informed me that he bought a regulator valve for it and some o rings because something is leaking antifreeze slightly. can you help please!!!!!!!! *tr | |||

| We purchased our 2004 impala new in may of 2004. there are currently 56,000 miles on it. the speedometer acts crazily and we also have the noise and vibration the steering column. the dealership says the steering shaft will cost at least $100 and a new instrument cluster $300. that doesn't include the cost of labor and state sales tax! these defects need to be addressed . i am almost fearful to let my wife drive this car. after reading all these complaints, i can't believe the government is failing the american consumer trying to buy american products. no wonder the foreign car companies are eating detroit's lunch! *tr | |||

| When turning the steering wheel there is a clucking sound coming from the front end> it sounds like something is loose. took it to the chevy del. and was told that they know about the problem that all impalas make this noise after so many miles. they said they would have to replace the steering shaft. this car has 50,000 miles and they tell me they steering shaft need to be replaced. this tells me they have a problem with their parts and they know there is a problem and they do not want to fix it. now steering shafts seem to me to be a very important part of the car and that if it fails someone is going to ge hurt. so does this make it a safety problem? *nm | |||

| Odometer 1120 miles - chevrolet impala ls - purchased new in june, 2004. situation: as i was exiting the lie via the woodhaven blvd off ramp going westbound, i was going the recommended speed limit (20 miles per hour). as i was following the curve of the road, the steering wheel suddenly jerked to the left, directing the car towards the roadside curb. in turning the steering wheel to the right to correct, there was a lot of resistance and it was hard to turn. the front left wheel hit the curb. the car moved off the curb in the direction to the right. the car felt like it was grinding metal and slowed down considerably. damage: my inspection of the car revealed that the front drivers side wheel was pushed back in its frame towards the rear of the car. the rim of the wheel was scratched and small chunks of the tire were ripped off. the back drivers side tire appeared to be scraped as well. i am unsure of body or frame damage. repair: bumper cover, lt fender, lt apron panel, engine cradle - pull & align steering gear & linkage, lt rocker molding. replaced: lt front liner, lt front & rear alloy wheels, lt front tire, lt front lower control arm bushing, lt axle assembly 3.8 liter, lt strut soft ride, lt outer tie rod, lt inner tie rod pillars - rocker & floor, corrosion protection. old part availability - no. jb | |||

| When turning left or right there is a clicking sound coming from the turn in the steering. during the turn it feels as though there is a break in the steering line. it seems as if it were a chain i would say its missing about 4 links. i took it in for this problem about 6 months ago and it was resolved for a while. i was told the steering column needed tightening. here it is doing the same thing for the last 2 months. now i notice the braking is not stopping in the manner it should. i have nearly rearended a few people in the last 2 months or continued just past the stop line at an intersection. *jb | |||

| We bought an impala chevrolet 2004 new in 2004. there were a few problems with it. instrument panel cluster -and speedometer gauge did not work and noises came from the instrument panel. steering gear popped/clanking noise heard and sensed from front end. also, seemed like something was wrong with the transmission because it did not change gears correctly, and it kind of bumped when accelerating, appeared as if engine did not want to accelerate. there was a delayed start, may be necessary to hold key in start several seconds until starting or turning back and trying again. sometimes key locked in and won't turn. took to dealer, but it did not do it for them. *ak on the steering gear the steering intermediate shaft was replaced on 11/19/05. again the noise was back and on 07/17/07 the steering intermediate shaft was lubricated. on other issues repairs are to costly. do not feel secure on vehicle these problems have been going on for the past two years. | |||

| 1) tried to slow car down. car would not turn nor halt. ended up hitting the vehicle in front of me. restored it 100%. 2) a year later, had 3 brand new rack and pinion's replaced in one month. had the vehicle checked out. the a-frame is in excellent shape and so is the area surrounding the rack and pinon. have pictures and mechanics as proof. 3) called the chevy company & was told that the car was manufactured in wisconsin. they claim they saw no reason to help with the rack & pinion as those cars were recall-free. 4) car leans towards oncoming traffic at times (this started after each rack and pinion was replaced). there is also a 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock dead zone in the steering column. steering used to feel a bit normal. it was not like this until i had a new rack and pinion put on. twice (in between) the boot would excessively leak (as did the original from chevy). 5) when i turn the wheel out of the driveway, the car makes kick drumming grinding sounds. was told this was normal. it is irritating though. 6) the car didn't even hit it's 5th year (being new) before it started to rust paint off the top of its roof. i live where there is no snow or coast, and extremely little ice. 7) the check engine light never goes off. had it checked. was told it was fine. 8) was driving right next to a cop going down a steep hill when the speedometer stuck at 10 mph. i crossed my fingers that i wasn't speeding since i kept my speed next to the officer. replaced. 9) combo turning signal & cruise broke off the steering for no reason during a turn. replaced. 10) locks me out off & on for no reason. 11) this car is my baby as it was one of the last thing i got that was my mother's before she died. it is also my first car that has seen me through (and still) my college years. it is very sentimental to me for those reasons. my dream is to keep this car even when it's a classic. | |||
