| Reduced engine power service code p2138. on 05/01/2012 while driving through an intersection my engine power was reduced to 3, maybe 5 mph. i was trying to get through that intersection without the acceleration that was so desperately needed. this is definitely a safety issue. in addition to being concerned about getting into an accident, i'm fearful i will be the one causing a fatal pile up. i have been to the chevrolet dealer 4 times and they were unable to fix this problem. | |||

| The driver side sun visor will no longer stay up and falls down obstructing forward vision. i've gone on the internet and this is a somewhat common occurrence on the impala. gm has no repair for it other than replacement. a new visor costs 125.00 plus installation. i think it should be a recall based on safety. | |||

| Bought the car new in may 2006 & have had the car in the shop 25x plus. the vehicle is e-85 however unless i want to have trouble with the vehicle i have not run that kind of fuel in the car. the trailing arm busted in half 4/09. i have contacted the better business bureau who said that because the problems prior to the trailing arm busting were not considered life threatening they could not consider the car a lemon. i have contacted gmc & bob brown chevy in urbandale, ia regard the above issues. however all they want to do is patchup the problems instead of completely correcting the problem. i have documentation & parts to follow up with all of the above stated problems. *tr | |||

| I'm a faithful customer of s&j since childhood and my mother purchased her vehicles there. up to this point i thought i could trust your service department to do honest work on my 2006 chevy impala. indeed this did not happen! my vehicle has returned about 8 times for same or similar problem. fernado is a great customer attendant, but he does not work on my car, so what i feel is not directed towards him. here is a list of chain of events that i have inquired since ownership of my new-used chevy in feb. 2007. i have a new chevy impala. within a year of ownership, the car has been to the dealer 8 times for major repairs (none due to my own fault)! *tr | |||
