2008 Chevrolet Impala Complaint Log

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP THE CAR HESITATES AND JERKS HARD AND SOMETIMES 10 TO 15MPH WILL QUIT ACCELERATING AND THEN JERK THEN TAKES OFF. STATE HIGHWAY.

ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND WAS ACTING AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. SO I PARKED MY CAR CALLED MY MECHANIC HE CAME OVER AND LOOKED AT THE CAR I SAID IT COULD BE A POSSIBLE ROCKER ARM THAT HAS GONE IN THE CAR OR I COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON GIVING ME A CODE FOR A CAM POSITIONING SENSOR / SOLENOID. ALSO WHEN I PURCHASE THE CAR NOT TOO LONG AFTER ME DRIVING I NOTICED THERE WAS SOME NOISE COMING FROM MY BACK TIRES. I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT FOR A WHILE UNTIL ONE DAY I LOOKED AT MY TIRES AND NOTICED THAT ON THE INSIDE THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF SCRAPING GOING ON WEARING AWAY MY TREAD. IT WOULD ALWAYS SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES ON THE CAR SO I THOUGHT MAYBE THE TIRES WERE TOO BIG FOR THE CAR BUT I ORDERED WHAT THE MANUFACTOR SUGGESTED THE TIRE SIZE SHOULD BE FOR THE CAR. SO I HAD A TIRE SPECIALIST LOOK AT IT AND AN ALIGNMENT SPECIALIST LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SUSPENSION SPRINGS MAY BE CAUSING MY ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE SIZE OF MY TIRE FOR THEM TO FIT BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS ARE CORRECT AND THE TIRES WERE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR THE CAR.

VERY BAD KNOCKING NOISE ALSO ELECTRICAL FIRE COULD'VE CAUGHT ON FIRE

I HAVE DAD MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND THE SOLENOIDS KEEP GOING OUT THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME I WILL BE GETTING THEM REPLACED, I HAVE NOT HAD AN OPERATING VEHICLE FOR A WEEK NOW AND I JUST HAVE WAIT TO SAVE UP TO HAVE THEM REPLACED.

LIGHTS CAME ON DASH SERVICE THROTTLE, REDUCED ENGINE POWER. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON 8/16/2018 GOING 55 WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO CHATTER AND I STRUGGLED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT WAS SO SUDDEN. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A BIT THEN IT STARTED AND I WENT ON. TODAY IT DID IT AND IT STILL WONT START AFTER HOURS.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR GAVE A NOTICE OF REDUCED ENGINE POWER, THEN A FEW MILES LATER, ANOTHER NOTICE CAME ON SERVICE THROTTLE DISABLING SERVICE. AND THE CAR SHUT OFF! WITH NO WARNING, AND NO WAY TO GET TO SAFETY. IF I WASN'T IN AN AREA THAT HAD A SHOULDER I COULD GET TO QUICKLY OR IF THERE WAS ANY TRAFFIC NEAR ME, I WOULD BE DEAD! THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AND IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED, IF IT HASNT ALREADY! THAT HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF FLAW IN THE PROGRAMING. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH IS WHERE I NORMALLY AM AT THAT TIME OF DAY, I WOULD HAVE HAD NO TIME TO REACT AND GET TO A SAFE AREA BEFORE THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME. IT ALSO LOCKED UP THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKING SYSTEM SO I HAD NEXT TO NO POWER. IT WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY. I AM JUST GLAD THAT I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, INSTEAD OF MY ELDERLY MOTHER. SHE VERY WELL MAY HAVE HAD A HEART ATTACK FROM THE FEAR. IN NO WAY SHOULD A CAR JUST SHUT DOWN MID-DRIVE LIKE THAT! I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN THE AMOUNT OF WAYS HOW BADLY THAT COULD GO WRONG, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHEVY VEHICLES AND THE THROTTLE BODY. EVEN IF THE THROTTLE BODY IS GOING BAD, IN NO WAY SHOULD YOUR CAR BE PROGRAMED TO JUST SHUT OFF MID-DRIVE, EVER. I REALLY HOPE THAT IS A PROGRAMING FLAW AND NOT INTENTIONAL, BECAUSE IF THAT IS INTENTIONAL, YOU ARE TRULY TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CHEVY/GM TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED? HOW MANY PEOPLE GETTING KILLED IN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENTS IS IT GOING TO TAKE? I PRAY THAT MYSELF OR MY FAMILY ISN'T ONE OF THEM! PLEASE CHEVY/GM, GET THIS ISSUE FIXED ALREADY.

MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS TRACTION CONTROL IVE REPLACED THE WHEEL HUBS TWICE AND THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND THEN IT RETURNS. IM TIRED OF IT BECAUSE ITS COSTLY AND I DO NOT HAVE MONEY I WORK A PART TIME JOB. ALSO THE CAR LOSES POWER IT STARTS STATING REDUCED ENGINE POWER ON MY DASH ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE ITS DONE THIS TO ME A FEW TIMES ON THE FREEWAY.

THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS FOR MY 2008 CHEVY IMPALA LT WERE NEVER REPLACED IN THR RECALL. THE RECALL STATES THAT IF THEY BRAKE WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE DAMAGE ,INJURY OR DEATH, 2ND OWNER NEVER GOT RECALL NOTICE.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED A LOUD SCREECH HAPPEN EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS STARTED, ONCE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, STREET, CITY.AND IN MOTION THE VEHICLE STARTS ALARMING AND LETTIMG ME KNOW IN THE INFORMATION WIDOW CHECK TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM WITH TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CONSISTENTLY ON THEN VEHICLE ALARMING SOUNDS AGAIN TO CHECK STABILITY TRAK AND THEN IT ALARM S AGAIN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT THE VEHICLES ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED AND VEHICLE IS NO LONGER ABLE TO PICK UP SPEED RIGHT AWAY THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SENSE I PURCHASED IT. ALSO WHEN IM MAKING TURNS THE VEHICLE WILL ALARM ABOUT HAVING STABILITY TRAK SERVICED

MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES AN 'ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED' MESSAGE IN ADDITION TO LOSING CAPABILITY OF DRIVING FASTER THAN 40 MPH LIKELY AS A RESULT OF A COMMON FAULT BY THE MANUFACTURER.

2008 CHEVY IMPALA LTZ -- I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE REAR INNER TIRES WEARING DOWN TO THE CHORDS JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE. I KNOW IT'S NOT THE TIRE BRAND, ETC. AS I'VE HAD A REPUTABLE MECHANIC PUT ON TWO SETS OF TIRES. I FOUND ARTICLES ON A LAWSUIT AND THE FACT THAT GM WILL FIX THE POLICE CARS WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT THE GENERAL PUBLIC'S. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A COMMUTER CAR FOR MY SONS THAT WILL BE COLLEGE STUDENTS AND I NEED IT TO LAST. I WANT A COPY OF THE TSB #08032A THAT ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED SO THAT I DON'T KEEP BLOWING THROUGH SETS OF TIRES IT IS GETTING RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. MY LAST SET WAS SUPPOSED TO WEAR OUT AT 60,000 AND ONLY LASTED 20,000. I AM ACTUALLY ON MY SECOND SET, SO BASICALLY $1600 INTO TIRES ALONE, NOT TO MENTION WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST ME FOR THE SPINDLE/CAMBOR/REAR TIE RODS THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TSB MENTIONED ABOVE. GM SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS AND IT SHOULD BE A MASSIVE RECALL. THESE CARS ARE PROLIFIC IN SOCIETY. LOL....WE BAILED THEM OUT IN 2008, AND THEY WERE CRANKING OUT LEMONS THE SAME YEAR....IRONIC!! GM REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

WHENEVER THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS WET CONDITIONS SUCH AS RAIN OR GOING THRU A PUDDLE, THE POWER STEERING WILL LOCK UP AND. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED OR WHEEL POSITION. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BUT NO INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED YET.

IT IS ALSO GIVING A TRACTION LOST INDICATOR WHEN I MAKE SHARP TURNS FROM A STOP AND IT SOUNDS AS IF THERE IS SLIPPING FROM THE FRONT END. REMEDY FOR THIS IS TO BACK OFF THE SHARP TURN SLIGHTLY AND ONCE THE CAR IS ROLLING TURN THE WHEEL MORE SHARPLY.

THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES FOUR YEARS AGO AND IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE IT HAPPENING AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE ROADWAY IS WET. AFTER READING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER CHEVROLET CARS ALSO.

WHEN DRIVING OVER WATER OR A VERY WET ROAD MY POWER STEERING QUITS, I OFTEN GET "ALTERNATOR FAILURE" WARNING UNTIL SUCH TIME AS I PASS OVER THE POOLED WATER SPOT IN THE ROAD. I HAD THE ENGINE BELT CHANGED AND IT STILL DOES THIS WHEN DRIVING OVER A POOLED OR LOW SPOT IN A ROADWAY OR PARKING LOT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW OR HIGHER SPEEDS ON A HIGHWAY, STREET OR PARKING LOT AND/OR GRAVEL AREA WITH POOLED WATER BUT NOT IN A "FLOOD" SITUATION. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER THREE MONTHS.

I HAVE REPLACED BUSHINGS 3 TIMES, STRUTS FRONT AND BACK, SHOCKS AND SWAY BAR PINS 2 TIMES. I DRIVE CITY ROADS TO WORK ONLY 5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. I ONLY HAVE 77,586 MILES ON MY CAR AND A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR THAT TYPE OF USE. WE HAVE A 1998 CHEVY TAHOE THAT WE LOVE. YOU SHOULD STAND BEHIND YOUR BAD PRODUCTS THAT YOU PUT OUT.

ENGIME POWER REDUCED SEEVICE TRACTUON CONTROL. WHILE DRIVING POWER IS CUT TO NEAR NOTHING. ABOUT 20 MPH. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND STARTING A FEW HOURS LATER IT'S FINE. A COUPLE DAYS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN. FAULTY EQUIPMENT FROM GM.

WHEN MY IMPALA IS IN MOTION WITHIN THE MINUTES IT STATES ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND IT SLOWS DOWN THE CAR. IF I DRIVE 60 MPH OR MORE WHEN ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED THEN IT SAYS SERVICE SHUTTLING DOWN AND THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IT'S A BIG SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY.

FIRST, THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE KEY SWITCH LOCATED UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL. THEN THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH IN D WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE, IT WON'T GO OVER 40 IN D3. NOT SURE WHY BUT THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE IMPALA.

DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE HIGH MY BACKDOOR LOCKS WILL NOT UNLOCK. THE INSIDE LEVERS THAT PULL UP TO UNLOCK FROM INSIDE ARE LOCATED AT THE FARTHEST PLACE AWAY SO I CAN'T REACH THEM FROM THE FRONT DOORS TO UNLOCK THEM THAT WAY. A SMALL CHILD IN A CAR SEAT, SOMEONE UNCONSCIOUS OR A PET COULD EASILY BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS IF THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT.

THE FRONT WHEELS OF MY VEHICLE STARTED DRIFTING LEFT AND RIGHT. STARTED HEARING A CLANGING NOISE WHEN L WOULD TURN. LOWER CONTROL ARMS BROKE, MY POWER STEERING IS GOING BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS TERRIBLE. I SAW THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME JUST NOT MY VIN#. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION JUST STARTED TO PULL TO ONE SIDE. MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY .
