MY ABS AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYS ON. WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL, THERE'S A FUNNY NOISE AND A FEELING LIKE MY BRAKES ARE SCRUBBING. *TR

BLINKERS WERE INTERMITTENTLY WORKING AND NOW NOT WORKING AT ALL. BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAZARDS WORKING. FUSES REPLACED. SEE ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE REPORT THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2002 CHEVY IMPALA 3.8L V-6 HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGING WHEN BRAKING IN TURNS TO THE LEFT. THIS CAUSES THE BRAKES TO SLIP AND GRIND. A HUMMING SOUND CAN BE HEARD WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND SOMETIMES THE "CHECK ABS " LIGHT BECOMES ILLUMINATED AT THE SAME TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIR. BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED. I REQUESTED A CHECK OF WIRING HARNESSES TO SEE IF THERE WAS DETERIORATION. NONE WAS APPARENTLY FOUND BY THE SHOP. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR OR ALLOW OTHERS IN MY FAMILY TO DRIVE IT INCASE THE BRAKES CAN'T ENGAGE PROPERLY. FROM READING ONLINE ACCOUNTS OF OTHER DRIVERS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH A CHEVROLET OF THIS MODEL. AFTER HAVING THE RIGHT FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY REPLACED, I THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. THEN AFTER HAVING THE LEFT FRONT REPLACED AS WELL TO THE TUNE OF AROUND $500.00 A PIECE, I THOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. NOT SO. WHERE DOES THIS END. I URGE YOU TO LOOK INTO A RECALL OF THIS MODEL AND HAVE GM ULTIMATELY FIX THIS PROBLEM AND AVOID ALLOWING FOR A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR DEATH. *TR

2002 CHEVY IMPALA LS V6 ENGINE, REQUIRED TO HAVE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED. THE GASKET HAD DISSOLVED AND WAS ALLOWING OIL AND COOLANT TO LEAK ONTO THE ENGINE BLOCK, AND MIX WITHIN THE ENGINE. MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE DEX COOLANT THAT GM USES, AND DETERIORATES THE GASKET. *TR

LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LIGHT CAME ON 2002 CHEVY IMPALA, BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. REPAIR SHOP 1 MILE AWAY. BRAKE LINE RUSTED AND SPLIT. REPLACED ALL BRAKE LINES, BECAUSE OTHER SIDE WAS RUSTING AND SHOP AFRAID OF FAILURE ON OTHER LINE AFTER FLUSH AND FILL. SO REPLACED ALL LINES. *TR

SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS CHEVY IMPALA AT GENE PANKEY MOTOR IN TACOMA WASHINGTON WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHTS COMING ON WHEN WE WOULD RETURN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT WORKED ON THEY WOULD CLEAR THE COMPUTER WHICH WOULD CLEARS THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS BUT IT ALWAYS COMES BACK. WE HAVE HAD OUR IMPALA IN ALOT OF TIMES AT LEAST 15X WE NEVER THOUGHT TO KEEP TRACK HOW MANY TIMES WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS WORKED ON ITS BEEN TO 4 DIFFERENT SHOPS FOR THE SAME THING. WE LOVE THIS CAR IT IS A GREAT CAR LOTS OF ROOM AND HAS GIDDY UP AND WELL ITS HOT AND ITS PAID FOR. WE REALLY WANT OUR CAR FIXED WE ARE TIRED OF TAKING IT IN TO BE FIXED AND NOTHING GETS DONE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AT THE CHEVY DEALER SAYING THAT WAS BAD AND REPLACED THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL SENSOR TWICE AT AMCO TRANSMISSION SHOP IN FIRCREST ITS BEEN TO BITTERLINGS IN TACOMA AS WELL AS THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM GENE PANKEY. AND WE STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THE ABS LIGHT NOW COMES ON, IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. I FEEL IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKES OR THE TRANSMISSION! THE BRAKES GO SPONGY WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON WE LOSE OUR BRAKES!!!! I AM STILL UNDER WARRANTY TIL 100,000 MILES AND IM ONLY AT 80,000 BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME TO KEEP TAKING THIS THING TO THE DEALER. I WANT MY RIDE FIXED AND I WANT IT FIXED NOW. CANT WE START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!!!!!

I URGE YOU TO LOOK INTO A RECALL OF THIS MODEL AND HAVE GM ULTIMATELY FIX THIS PROBLEM AND AVOID ALLOWING FOR A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR DEATH. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND AGAIN SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

WENT TO WORK AND WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE CAR WOULDN'T START- THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND GOT A JUMP, WOULDN'T START. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO AUTO PLACE, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THEN AFTER THAT THE CAR HAS LEFT ME STRANDED AND UNABLE TO GET TO WORK ITS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING- THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS ON, AFTER THE MANY COMPLAINTS TO CHEVY- THEY WONT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR OF THE PASS LOCK SECURITY SYSTEM FOR THE SIMPLE REASON ITS OUT OF WARRANTY. ITS NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE ITS A MECHANICAL ISSUE. ITS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF AS IF SOMEONE IS STEALING IT. HOW DANGEROUS- ON ROUTE 80 HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD FOR THAT MATTER, YOUR CAR SHUTS OFF AND YOUR SMASHED FROM BEHIND WITH CARS PILED UP- SOMEONE WILL BE DEAD ANDMANY WILL BE SERIOUS HURT. OR BEING STRANDED ON A DARK COUNTRY ROAD WITH NO CELL RECEPTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AFTER ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM- GM"S RESPONSE' SORRY WE CANT HELP YOU- TODAY TOYOTA RECALLED 412K CARS, BECAUSE OF STEERING ISSUE AND WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN, TOYOTA, AND HONDA DIDN'T NEED BAILOUTS WHY BECAUSE THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS UNLIKE GM- THIS IS A BIG ISSUE WITH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND GM AS USUAL DOES NOTHING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A GM PRODUCT AS ITS A COMPLETE PIECE OF GARBAGE AND THE ONES WORKING FOR GM AREN'T ANY BETTER. LET GM SINK AND GO UNDER, THAT WAY AMERICANS WILL HAVE MORE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND COMPANIES THAT ACTUALLY STAND BEHIND SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS. IT AMAZES ME HOW GM CAN TAKE BAILOUTS- TO KEEPTHEM AFLOAT BUT WONT DO ANYTHING TO BACK THEIR VEHICLES, SOONER OR LATER THEY WILL SINK AND THEY WILL ALL BE SITTING THERE DUMBFOUNDED SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS WONDERING OH GEE WHAT HAPPENED, YOU DIDN'T STAND BEHIND YOUR CARS MORON THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED, AND PEOPLE WENT TO MORE RELIABLE COMPANIES. 13K FOR A 2002 IMPALA LS, GUESS ITS TIME TO TAKE IT TO THE JUNK YARD VERY UNSAFE AND NO PEACE OF MIND TO DRIVE THE GARBAGE. *TR

HAVE 2002 CHEVY IMPALA AND THE SECURITY PASSLOCK WON'T LET CAR START, I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN MANY PLACES. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT 2 PLACES AND IT ALL COMES BACK TO COMPUTER, OR KEYS, WE TRIED TO HAVE KEYS RECODED BUT IT STILL HAPPENS OFTEN. BY RESEARCHING ON COMPUTER I SEE I'M NOT ALONE OUT THERE. WHAT DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DO TO GET GM RECALL THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN IT EITHER 5 BELOW OR 90 OUTSIDE AND HAVE SIT IN CAR AND HOPE YOU DON'T GET MUGGED OR ROBBED WAITING FOR CAR TO START OR DID OF HEAT STROKE OR FREEZE TO DEATH. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO . HELP PLEASE MY CAR DOES THIS 4-5 TIMES A DAY AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. GM NEED TO STEP IN AND FIX THIS DEFECT. *TR

2002 CHEVY IMPALA: TURN SIGNAL RANDOMLY STOPS FUNCTIONING: SOMETIMES WHEN LEVER IS PULLED SIGNAL WILL FUNCTION THEN JUST STOP, OTHER TIMES SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK AT ALL WHEN LEVER IS PULLED. PRESSING HAZARD BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES RETURNS TURN SIGNAL FUNCTIONALITY TEMPORARILY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! AN INTERNET SEARCH OF "2002 IMPALA TURN SIGNAL" ON GOOGLE SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

HAVE HAD "TRACTION CONTROL" PROBLEMS FOR 2 YEARS. WAS TOLD MANY THINGS COULD CAUSE THIS. NOW DRIVING WITH NO TRACTION CONTROL AND NO ABS, JUST REGULAR BRAKES. HAVE REPLACED HUBS AND BRAKES. HAVE TO FILE FOR WAIVER FOR INSPECTION. WILL TRY REPLACING ABS PUMP NEXT IF CAN EVER AFFORD SUCH A BIG REPAIR. DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

THE STARTER WILL NOT GET A SIGNAL FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE CHANGED RELAYS, IGNITION SWITCH, STARTER, KEY CORE AND PASSLOCK, ALL TO NO GAIN. GAVE VEHICLE TO THEY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHO CHANGED TO BCM AND REPROGRAMMED THE SECURITY FEATURE AND WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP, IT WOULDN'T START. THE STARTER GETS NO SIGNAL ABOUT 90% OF THE TIMES I TURN THE KEY. FOR THE 10% IT DOES WORK, THERE SEEMS TO HAVE HAD NO ISSUE WHAT SO EVER. IT TURNS ON SMOOTH AND RUNS LIKE A DREAM. YET IT CAN BE THE FIRST ATTEMPT OR THE 50TH BEFORE THE STARTER CATCHES A JOLT AND STARTS THE CAR, THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PATTERN. THE SECURITY SYSTEM WORKS FINE B/C WE INSTALLED A SIMPLE PUSH BUTTON SWITCH TO THE STARTER AND IT WORKED EVERY TIME WITH NO TROUBLE FOR A FEW MOMENTS TILL THE GAS WAS TAKEN AWAY AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. BYPASSING THE SECURITY FEATURE AND ALLOWING A SECONDARY IGNITION METHOS WOULD SEEM TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE POTENTIAL OF BEING STUCK OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION IF THE CARS HAPPENS TO STALL. OR IF AN INFANT WAS LOADED INTO THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START FOR 15 TO 30 MINUTES, LEAVING THE CHILD WITH THE RISK OF HEAT ISSUES. THE PROBLEM ITSELF CAME SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY IMPALA. THE CAR BEHAVES AS THOUGH THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY OWN RESEARCH SEEMED TO INDICATE A FAULTY BCM MODULE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER AND EXPLAINED MY SUSPICION AND THE ODD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS, AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO FIND A WIRING PROBLEM. AFTER 2 WEEKS THEY SAID THEY FOUND THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND CHARGED ME $700. NOW, A FEW WEEKS LATER ALL SYMPTOMS ARE BACK. WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ON, THE LIGHTS FLASH, TRUCK LATCH OPENS AND CLOSES, AND SECURITY LIGHT FLASHES. THIS IS JUST 1 SET OF SYMPTOMS. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS. I FOUND THIS SITE WHILE LOOKING FOR HELP HERE: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GR-O5R1UPFY&FEATURE=RELATED . PLEASE HELP! *TR

HEAD GASKET FAILURE. HEAD GASKETS ARE DEFECTIVE ON THE 3400 SERIES ENGINES. THE COOLANT USED IN THESE VEHICLES CAUSES PREMATURE EROSION IN THE HEAD GASKET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE SECURITY LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO WAIT TEN MINUTES BEFORE RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE, BUT THE VEHICLE COULD ONLY BE DIAGNOSED WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE COMPUTER CHIP POTENTIALLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT COULD NOT CONFIRM IF IT WOULD CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 62,576. UPDATED 10/04/10. *LJ THE DEALER REPLACED THE IGNITION CYLINDER. UPDATED 10/05/10

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ THE FUEL LEVELS PROPERLY. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DRIFT INDICATE THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL AND THEN IT WOULD DISPLAY HALF FULL AND EMPTY WITHIN MINUTES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENDER AND WIRING HAD FAILED. THE VIN WAS REJECTED FROM THE SYSTEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000. UPDATED 06/13/11 *BF UPDATED 1/19/2012 *LN *TR

MY CAR, A 2002 CHEVY IMPALA, HAS AN INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT AT 2006. FOR EVERY 2-3 WEEKS, IT SIMPLY DOES NOT CRANK BY TURNING THE KEY. BUT AFTER 10 MINS, IT STARTS AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO TRY TO FIX THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS UNSUCCESSFUL. AFTER SEARCHING ON WEBSITE, I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR GM CARS AND MAY BE RELATED TO SOME ELECTRIC SECURITY ISSUE. THEREFORE, HERE I AM FILING THE COMPLAINT. *TR

MY 2002 IMPALA WILL RANDOMLY NOT START. THE MESSAGE CENTER FLASHES SECURITY, BATTERY AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON. I HAVE TO UNHOOK AND RECONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET THE CAR TO START. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT ALONE, AS I LIVE IN A BIG CITY AND DO NOT WANT TO BE DRIVING AND THE CAR MALFUNCTION. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO PEOPLE WITH 2002 IMPALAS. I HAVE ASTHMA AND ONE DAY I STARTED TO HAVE AN ATTACK. HUSBAND WAS GOING TO DRIVE ME TO HOSPITAL AND MY CAR DECIDES NOT TO START. I COULD HAVE DIED WAITING FOR HIM TO RECONNECT THE BATTERY. I PAID GM FOR A RELIABLE CAR BUT GOT A CAR THAT WILL START ONLY WHEN IT WANTS TO. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IT'S MESSED UP THAT I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR OF IT NOT STARTING AND BEING MUGGED OR RAPED WHILE TRYING TO UNHOOK/REHOOK THE BATTERY. GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. THEY DON'T WANT TO THOUGH BECAUSE THEY MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY FIXING SOMETHING THAT THEY SCREWED UP. I WILL NEVER BUY A GM AGAIN. TOYOTA AND HONDA FROM HERE ON OUT!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA LS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHILE THEY KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A RED SECURITY FAILURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE MIGHT BE CAUSED BY THE SECURITY PASS LOCK SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 184,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 191,000.

BROUGHT CAR AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NOT TIMED CORRECTLY AND I NEEDED A PART CALLED PLAW - THE COMPANY SAID THEY WERE FIXED BUT, NOT 3 MONTHS LATER WHEN HEAVY RAIN CAME MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ON MY WINDSHIELD STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY VISIBLE AREA. IM 5'3 AND I HAVE A SEVEN YEAR OLD CHILD AND I WOULD HATE TO BE ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN IT STARTS RAINING AND NOT ABLE TO SEE BECAUSE NO ONE TOOK IT SERIOUSLY.. I DO NOT LOOK FORWARD TO RAINY DAYS ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE A NEWER CAR BUT I HAVE TO GET A RIDE OR ON THE BUS WITH MY CHILD......... HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

PASS KEY SENSOR, I HAD TO PAY 500 DOLLARS TO FIX AN IGNITION SWITCH THAT WAS PERFECTLY FINE BUT A BAD SENSOR WAS THE PROBLEM, MANY COMPLAINTS BUT STILL NO RECALL. *TR

AS I BRAKE MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES ON MY 2002 CHEVY IMPALA. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAD IT SERVICED AT AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP IN PLAINVILLE CT. ON OR ABOUT JUNE 20 2009. *TR

ABS LIGHT ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LAMP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL MECHANISM WAS SLIGHTLY JOLTED THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE UNIVERSAL LIGHT SWITCH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. UPDATED 04/15/11*LJ UPDATED 11/21/11

STARTING WITH THE 2000 CHEVY IMPALA THEY HAVE A WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEM, WHERE IF HEAVY SNOWS SLIDES OFF THE ROOF ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, OR IF THE WIPERS ARE FROZEN TO THE WINDSHIELD WHEN YOU OPERATE THE WIPERS, IT BENDS A TAB UNDER THE WIPER MECHANISM AND CAUSES THE WIPERS TO PARK IN THE OUTWIPE CONDITION WHEN TURNED OFF INSTEAD OF OUT OF THE WAY OF THE DRIVERS VISION JUST UNDER THE FRONT HOOD. THEY PARK STRAIGHT UP CAUSING A DANGEROUS OBSTRUCTION IN THE DRIVERS VIEW. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET WHERE IMPALA OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY IN THE STATES THAT EXPERIENCE FREEZING WEATHER AND SNOW. SOME HAVE STATED AFTER PAYING FROM $75 TO $300 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. PERHAPS A VERY POOR DESIGN ON GMS PART BUT TO THIS DATE GM HAS NOT INSTITUTED A RECALL. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND DESIGNED REPLACEMENT KIT FOR THE BENT TAB AT GREAT EXPENSE FOR THE OWNER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WE HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS DEALING WITH THE IGNITION/STARTER, PASS/LOCK, POWER LOCK, AND SECURITY SYSTEM. WE RECENTLY HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE CAR STARTING OR NOT STARTING FOR THAT MATTER. AT FIRST, IT WAS ONCE IN AWHILE AND NOW IT DOESN'T START 7-8X PER WEEK. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TO CONSTANTLY THROW MONEY AT THIS PROBLEM. ONCE AGAIN IT IS GOING INTO THE SHOP FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND MORE PARTS. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT OF SOME SORT AND NEEDS TO BE HANDLE ACCORDINGLY. *TR

UNKNOWN REASON AS TO WHY THE DIRECTIONALS ON MY 02 IMPALA WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS FIRST OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AGO WITH AVERAGE OCCURRENCE OF ONCE A WEEK. NOW IT OCCURS APPROXIMATELY ONCE A DAY. MECHANIC CANNOT FIND A SOLID REASON AS TO WHY THIS IS OCCURRING AND CANNOT REPLICATE IT AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM ANOTHER DEALER IN 2003. I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM IN NOVEMBER 2005, IT WOULD NOT START SOMETIMES LIGHT WOULD FLASH AND AFTER 20 MINUTES IT STARTS. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL LAST NOVEMBER, AND THEN IT WOULD DO IT ABOUT 2-3X A WEEK. IN FEBRUARY 2009 I HAD TO REPLACE MY LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, WATER PUMP AND BATTERY. THE SUMMER 09 I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR DUE TO A HAIRLINE CRACK IN IT. THE SECURITY SYSTEM STARTS TO INTERMITTENTLY NOT START THE VEHICLE AGAIN IN LATE SEP. 09 ABOUT 2-3X PER WEEK. IN JAN.2010 THE VEHICLE DOESN'T START FOR ME ONE DAY AFTER COMING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE FOR 25 MINUTES. SINCE THEN IT DOES IT EVERY MORNING WHEN I GO TO TAKE MY CHILD TO SCHOOL AND I HAVE TO WAIT 10-20 MINUTES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WEREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I NEEDED $950 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE BCM. I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC AND THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. IT'S FRUSTRATING FOR ME AND MY CHILD. IT'S SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I'M SO AFRAID THAT ONE DAY OR NIGHT IT MAY NOT START AND I'M STRANDED IN THE STREETS AND MAY BE SUBJECTED TO A CRIME OR DEATH. I DON'T DRIVE IT AT NIGHT UNLESS IT'S AN EXTREME EMERGENCY NOW AND THIS IS SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE TO PAY FOR RIDES AT TIMES TO GET MY CHILD TO AND FROM SCHOOL WHEN THIS CAR DECIDES NOT TO START SO MY CHILD WON'T BE LATE FOR SCHOOL OR GETTING PICKED UP FROM SCHOOL. I'VE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR. *TR

LIGHTS WENT OUT AFTER DARK. IN A PANIC, I MOVED THE DIMMER SWITCH BACK AND FORTH UNTIL THEY CAME BACK ON. IT LASTED JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS, BUT I WAS GOING 60 MPH AND IT WAS PITCH BLACK. THIS IS A 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA, 4 DOOR SEDAN WITH 68, 000 MILES. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS ON REPAIRS FOR THIS VEHICLE. SEAL LEAKS (OIL LEAKING ON MANIFOLD) HEATER WENT OUT DURING ZERO WEATHER, REPLACED BODY CONTROL MODULE, PASS LOCK SYSTEM, TRACTION SYSTEM PARTS ( TWO SEPARATE TIMES). THESE ARE A FEW. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND PUT ONLY 68 THOUSAND MILES ON IT IN THE LAST 9 YEARS. I BELIEVE THE LIGHTS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT COST $695.00 TO REPAIR. *TR

02 IMPALA 3.8 ENGINE WOULD NOT START. IT HAS DONE THIS COUNTLESS TIMES AND I WILL HAVE TO WAIT 20 OR 30 MINUTES FOR IT TO START. MY BATTERY IS LIKE NEW, AND NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE STARTER, I'VE HAD IT ALL TESTED. I'VE READ IT COULD BE THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM OR SOMETHING CALLED THE TUMBLER. MY SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY EVEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE READ THAT MANY IMPALA OWNERS CARS HAVE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I'M HOPING MINE DOESN'T DO THE SAME. MY CAR WAS A FORMER POLICE CAR. IT NOW HAS ABOUT 112,000 MILES ON IT. I HOPE I NEVER HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE IN AN EMERGENCY OR GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE AT NIGHT. I'VE READ SEVERAL FORUMS EXPLAINING HOW CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THE DEFECT BUT WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS YOU PAY ABOUT 600 TO ALMOST 1,000 DOLLARS. BUT THEN WHEN THEY CLAIM IT'S FIXED, THE PROBLEM HAPPENS ALL OVER AGAIN. I READ FROM A MECHANIC THAT WORKED FOR CHEVY IN THE PAST, THAT THEY POLITELY IGNORE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PASSLOCK AND SECURITY PROBLEM. I GUESS NO ONE WILL TAKE IT SERIOUSLY UNTIL PEOPLE START TO GET INJURED OR EVEN KILLED LIKE TOYOTA DRIVERS. MUST WE WAIT FOR THE DEATH TOLL TO RISE BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT STEPS IN TO ACT??? POLICEMEN DRIVE THESE CARS ALTHOUGH THERE SLOWLY BEING PHASED OUT WITH THE NEWER MODELS. A POLICEMAN THAT CANNOT GET TO THE SCENE OF A CRIME ON TIME BECAUSE HIS CAR WOULDN'T START. I GUESS THAT'S THE HEADLINE WERE WAITING FOR BEFORE CHEVY OR THE GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PASSLOCK PROBLEM THAT COUNTLESS AMERICANS ARE HAVING AND GM DOESN'T WANT TO FIX. THIS IS WHY I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER AMERICAN CAR BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE CHEAP AND GM COULD CARE LESS. THE TIME TO ACT IS BEFORE MAJOR INCIDENTS HAPPEN, BEFORE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES, BEFORE 5 CAR PILE UPS ON THE HIGHWAY, BEFORE AN EMERGENCY THAT GM DRIVERS CANNOT GET TO BECAUSE THERE CAR WILL NOT START. NOT AFTER!!! THAT'S TOYOTA'S PROBLEM NOW. ADVICE FOR GM AND THE U.S. GOVERNMENT - GET IT TOGETHER!!! *TR

SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON, DOORS LOCK AND WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. CAR WILL NOT START. SERVICE ENGINE SOON, BRAKES, DOOR AJAR, LIGHTS ALSO COME ON. RED LIGHT ON STEREO FLASHES, HEADLAMPS FLASH. AFTER WAITING 20-30 MINUTES CAR WILL RESTART. HAPPENS OFTEN AND INTERMITTENTLY. REPLACED BATTERY. *TR

MY CAR LEAVES ME STRANDED FOR HOURS BEFORE IT STARTS. PASSLOCK/PASSKEY II IS THE WORST THING CHEVY EVER CREATED. WHILE DRIVING THE GAUGES GO OFF AND ON; AND THE CAR SHUTS THE FUEL OFF. BEING SAID MY SISTER USED MY CAR ONE DAY AND THE FUEL SHUT OFF, THE CAR DIED, AND SHE WAS REAR ENDED. THANKFULLY IT WAS A BUMP AND SHE WASN'T SERIOUSLY INJURED. I'M ALWAYS LATE FOR WORK AND I HAVE REPLACED THE BCM, IGNITION SWITCH, AND TUMBLER. NOTHING IS RESOLVED. I'VE BEEN HOME STRANDED FOR A WEEK, WHICH HAS CAUSED ME TO MISS SCHOOL. DUE TO THE LACK OF MONEY I AM FORCED TO WITHDRAW FROM COLLEGE AND THIS IS MY SENIOR YEAR WHICH THROWS MY OUT OF MY INTERNSHIP. CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS "PASSLOCK" FEATURE AND REIMBURSE ALL OF THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE SWINDLED. THIS IS THERE FAULT AND WE, THE CONSUMERS, SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THIS FEATURE ALLOWS OWNERS TO NOT BE ABLE TO USE THEIR VEHICLES, AND A PROFESSIONAL THIEF CAN STEAL THE CAR. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, AND FRANKLY, I DO NOT THINK ANYTHING EVER WILL BE. I FOR ONE WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHEVY AGAIN. *TR

2002 CHEVY IMPALA. THE TURN SIGNALS OFTEN FAIL TO ACTIVATE, CREATING A ROAD HAZARD. APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM ON THAT TIME PERIOD IMPALAS. SUSPECTED A FAULTY MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH. *TR

YOU PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT DOESNT TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL IS FREE THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WRONG. YOU HAVE TO SIT THERE FOREVER MOVING THE KEY IN EVERY WHICH WAY. TO HOPEFULLY FIND THE RIGHT COMBINATION TO GET THE CAR TO START.

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY IMPALA AND QUITE OFTEN THE CAR WILL NOT START AND DISPLAYS THE SECURITY LIGHT BUT AFTER LEAVING THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION AND PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE VEHICLE THE CAR WILL START 10 MINUTES LATER. I HAD TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO THE ER BECAUSE OF A BAD CUT ON HER FINGER WHICH WAS BLEEDING PROFUSELY AND WE GOT IN THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON AND LEAVING THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION FOR 15 MINUTES IT FINALLY STARTED. IT DOES THIS ALL THE TIME AT LEAST 10 TIMES PER WEEK. THANK GOD MY KIDS WEREN'T DYING OR SOMETHING OR THANK HEAVENS IT WASN'T AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START. BUT I HAVE LOOKED AT NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND IT SEEMS THAT THE 2002 CHEVY IMPALAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED THE OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS!! *TR

BOTH THE HAZARD AND TURNING SIGNAL LIGHT STARTED ACTING FUNNY AND THEN STOP WORKING AT THE SAME TIME CHANGED THE HAZARD SWITCH IT STARING WORKING AGAIN AND CHANGED THE TURNING SIGNAL LEVER THE TURNING SIGNAL STILL DOES NOT WORK.*CW

THE PROBLEM IS WITH A 2002 CHEVY IMPALA. THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS THE PASSIVE LOCK 2 SYSTEM.. THIS SYSTEM LOCKS THE CAR OUT AND KEEPS IT FROM STARTING FOR ANY WHERE TO 15-30 MINS AT A TIME. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE THING FOR ME I AM A SECURITY OFFICER AND FIND MYSELF IN AREAS THAT I NEED TO GET OUT OF AND CAN'T BECAUSE OF THE CAR NOT START DO TO THE FAILING OF THIS SYSTEM THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF GM MADE CARS FROM THE YEARS 1999-2004 I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH WITH REPAIR SHOPS IN MY AREA AND OUT OF THE AREA. EVERYONE OF THIS PLACE I HAVE CALLED OR BEEN TO HAS TOLD ME THE SAME THING AND THAT IS THEY GET AT LEST ONE GM MADE CAR WITH IN THESE YEARS ONCE A MONTH. THE PROBLEM IS A FAULT IN THE PASS2 SYSTEM THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS TO TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER OR A AUTO ELECTION TO FIX THIS AND THE COST OF THIS IS OVER $500.00 . CHEVY REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON THEIR PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. AND OTHER CARS. *TR

CAR STARTS INTERMITTENTLY, AT FIRST ONCE EVERY MONTH OR SO AND THEN GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORST. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER ANY AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (9-15 MONTHS, MAYBE LONGER). USED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME (3-5 VISITS) WAS NEVER ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS REASONABLE IN HIS CHARGES. SINCE 10/23/09 STARTED USING A GM DEALER (A BIG MISTAKE). THEY HAVE CHANGED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND REPLACED THE IGNITION CYLINDER WITH PASSLOCK SENSOR. COST APPROACHING $1K AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM THOUGH WITH LESS FREQUENCY (ABOUT THREE TIMES SINCE 11/10/09). CONTACTED GM FOR ASSISTANCE AND DUE TO MILEAGE (ABOUT 130K) THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP. ONLY BUY A GM PRODUCT IF YOU DON'T PLAN TO PUT MUCH MILEAGE ON IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY IMPALA. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE TURN SIGNALS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED WORKING. I WAS TOLD THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL WAND WOULD COST $500.00 (NOT INCLUD.LABOR) AND THERE IS NO AFTER MARKET PART. MY MECHANIC COULD NOT CONFIRM THE PROBLEM THOUGH. ALL ELSE ON THE WAND WORKS. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS CONNECTED WITH MY AIR/HEAT RUNNING AND/OR LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR REAR-END INCIDENCES. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE. SHE INSTALLED A NEW FUSE, BUT THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 97,624.

2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA LS 60,000 MILES LEAVES WIFE STRANDED DUE TO SOME SECURITY DEVICE THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START , NO WARNING SIGNS OTHER THAN A SECURITY LIGHT THAT IS DISPLAYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. THE REPAIRS ARE EXPENSIVE AND DON'T SEEM TO BE A RELIABLE FIX THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. GM SHOULD FIX IT, AS IT IS A OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. *TR

MY 2002 IMPALA WONT START EVERYDAY I HAVE TO GET A BOOST IT MAKES ME LATE FOR WORK I GO TO CRANK IT JUST CLICK CLICK WITH ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHT BLINKING THAT'S NOT SAFE BEING A FATHER OF 2 AND RUNNING THE RISK OF CAR NOT STARTING AFTER SITTING FOR 2 HOURS. *TR

AS OF YET THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS AS THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING INTO GEAR UNLESS YOU RACE THE MOTOR. NEARLY REARENDING OTHER VEHICLES, PROPERTY OR PEDESTRIANS. I CAN NOT SAFELY PULL OUT AT AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION MAY SLIP. I'VE READ ON MESSAGE BOARDS WHERE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM HAS NO GOOD FIX FOR IT. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATER IF THE CAR IS WARM OR COLD THE TRANSMISSION STILL ACTS UP. 89K MILES ON THE CAR WHEN THIS BEGAN AND I HAVEN'T FELT SAFE DRIVING THE CAR SINCE. THANK YOU *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE STEERING JOINT SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SERVICED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37464 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37964.

WE WERE DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2002 CHEVY IMPALA WENT OUT AND DIDN'T COME BACK ON. WE DIDN'T REALIZE IT AT THE TIME, BECAUSE WE WERE DRIVING IN TOWN AND THERE WERE STREET LIGHTS. THIS WAS THE 3RD OCCURRENCE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. *TR

CHEVY IMPALA 2002 TURN BLINKERS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY SIMILAR TO 03V327000 RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR
