2010 Chevrolet Impala Complaint Log

MY IMPALA HEATING AND AIR CONDITION UNIT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND MAKES CLICKING NOISE WHEN I DO THE FOLLOWING: GET IN THE CAR, START THE CAR, TOUCH THE HEATING AND AC KNOBS. I WAS ADVISED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT IT WOULD COST BUT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE IMPALA. SAID THAT THE CLICKING IS BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO CATCH BACK TO WHAT EVER IS DISPLACED AND KEEPS TRYING. I'VE TIME THIS CLICKING AND IT GOES ON FOR A WHOLE MINUTE. I HAVE A DUAL SYSTEM AND IT APPEARS THE PASSENGER SAID HEATS WHEN IT WANTS TO,..THIS HAD BEEN GOING ON IN MY CAR FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE COMPANY HAVE NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE COMPANY TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL AND HELP THE OWNERS OF THE AWFUL SOUND AND EMBARRASSING WHEN OTHERS GET IN YOUR CAR AND HEAR THE MADNESS THAT YOU HAVE TO TRY AND EXPLAIN. I DON'T THINK THIS HELP PEOPLE WANTING TO BUY THE CAR. THANKS

ENGINE POWER REDUCED...CAR SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

MY CAR STARTED GIVING ME AN ERROR CODE OF SERVICE STABILITRAC, SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST, AND MY TRACTION AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON LIKE A YEAR AGO. I HAVE HAD CONTROL ARMS REPLACED, CV AXLES, HUBS, ETC.

IT'S CAUSING MY CAR TO SLIP WHEN I TURN CORNERS OR TRY TO ACCELERATE. IT'S CAUSING PULLING AND LOSS OF SPEED IN THE ENGINE . THIS PROBLEM IS COSTING ME ALOT OF MONEY AS WELL AS FRUSTRATION. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER URGENTLY THANK YOU

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LEVER IS STUCK IN PARK AND THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH DUE TO A VERY POOR ELECTRICAL DESIGN. THE ELECTRICAL WIRES ATTACHED TO THE CONNECTOR THAT OPERATES THE SOLENOID THAT UNLOCKS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER BUTTON IN THE PARK POSITION AND THAT ALSO CONNECTS TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND OPERATES VARIOUS FUNCTIONS SUCH AS RELEASING THE IGNITION KEY AND ALLOWS THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ,BREAKS OFF DUE TO ELECTRICAL WIRES BEING TOO SHORT AND THE BACK AND FORTH MOVEMENT OF THE SHIFTER . CHECKING THE ONLINE BLOGS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON SEVERAL GM VEHICLES FOR SOME TIME WITHOUT ANY RECALLS DESPITE CONSTANT CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS DUE TO THE VERY POOR DESIGN. SOME DEALERS HAVE SUGGESTED LEAVING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND UNLOCKING AND LOCKING THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS INVITES VEHICLE THEFT AND BY NOT HAVING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, THE BATTERY RUNS DOWN AS THE ACCESSORIES AND IGNITION IS STILL TURNED ON AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REMAINS LIGHTED. SOME CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD REPEAT REOCCURRENCES AFTER HAVING THE ISSUE REPAIRED AT A COST OF BETWEEN $500 AND $600. AFTER INSPECTING THE OPERATION OF THE SHIFTER AND THE AFFECT IT HAS ON THE ELECTRICAL WIRING IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE WIRING WILL FAIL AND IN THE BLOGS AS EARLY AS WHILST UNDER WARRANTEE. I AM CONCERNED IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT MAY OCCUR ESPECIALLY SAFETY ONES AS THERE IS 5 WIRES I DO NOT KNOW THE FUNCTION OF EACH WIRE . CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAUSED BY STICKY THROTTLE ACCIDENTS BEFORE RECEIVING ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION PEDAL SENSOR AND THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR RECALL NOTICES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, WHEN THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF LIKE A MISSILE. IT TRAVELED ACROSS THE STREET, JUMPED A CURB AND HIT A PARKED VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. THE DEALER CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ACCELERATOR. HOWEVER, THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A STICKY THROTTLE. WHEN THE SECOND ACCIDENT OCCURRED, THE CONSUMER WAS ATTEMPTING TO BACK THE VEHICLE UP, BUT INSTEAD IT ACCELERATED BACKWARDS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED MAKING A HIGH PITCH WHINING NOISE. THE CONSUMER QUICKLY APPLIED THE BRAKE. HOWEVER, IT NOT REDUCE THE SPEED. THE CONSUMER HIT AN OAK TREE, AND IN DOING SO, CAUSED THE TREE TO FALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND ACCIDENT, THE THROTTLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS REPLACED. *JB

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, TRACTION CONTROL WARNING CAME ON, THEN A WARNING THAT ENGINE POWER REDUCED, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN FROM 65 TO 0 IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID GETTING HIT, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AND GET GOING AGAIN FINALLY, BUT WAS VERY NERVOUS TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD MY GRANDCHILD IN THE CAR WITH ME AND CARS WERE BEHIND ME. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TO THE CAR COULD HAVE ENDED UP TRAGICALLY.

ON OR ABOUT MAY 17, 2015, I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE CHEVROLET DIVISION OF GENERAL MOTORS THAT MY VEHICLE "MAY HAVE A BROKEN SOLDER CONNECTION WITHIN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR. THIS CONDITION MAY RESULT IN REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL ASSIST." ACCORDING TO THEM, I WILL KNOW WHEN MY INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYS THE WARNING AND THEN THEY WILL BE WILLING TO CORRECT THEIR POOR WORKMANSHIP, BUT NOT UNTIL THAT TIME. GM GOES ON TO INFORM ME THAT I MAY BE WITHOUT MY CAR FOR AN EXTENDED LENGTH OF TIME WHILE THEY ORDER PARTS AND DO REPAIRS. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO WILL BE INCONVENIENCED FOR THEIR LACK OF PROPER WORKMANSHIP. FURTHERMORE, I FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE ALSO. GM NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSES NEEDLESS HARM TO SOMEONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK LOCKED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE OPENED. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE TURN SIGNALS ALSO FAILED.

LATELY AS I AM DRIVING A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE DASH. IT SAYS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK AND SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST. ALSO THE ABS LIGHT IS ON AND THE NO TRACTION LIGHT IS ON. THE REASON I AM REPORTING THIS IS BECAUSE I AM HEARING PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME MODEL BUT DIFFERENT YEAR SAY THEY ARE THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT IS STICKING AND WILL NOT LATCH. IF YOU DO GET IT TO LATCH IT WILL UNLATCH WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO GET THE LATCH UNSTUCK. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY MECHANISM AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THEY DO NOT JUST REPLACE THE LATCH, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE LATCH AND THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WITH THE TENSIONER. HOWEVER THEY DID NOT HAVE THIS ITEM IN STOCK AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR THE REPAIRS. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM DRIVING WITH A FAULTY SEAT BELT THAT IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT A LEGAL ISSUE. I MUST WEAR MY SEATBELT - IT IS THE LAW. BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WILL NOT LATCH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 70MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES ON GOES OFF THEN POPS BACK ON. MESSAGE COMES ON SAYING REDUCING ENGINE POWER THEN TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE LIGHTS COMES ON AND STAYS ON ALL WHILE I'M LOSING POWER TRYING TO GET OVER TO SAFETY I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT NO POWER AT ALL PUT MY FLASHERS ON LUCKY CHP SEEN ME AND HELPED ME TO THE SHOULDER.CALL AAA WHILE WAITING I START THE CAR UP PRESS ON THE PEDAL I HAVE POWER.

LOUD TICKING SOUND COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE VENT. I HAVE CHECKED WITH OTHER OWNERS OF CHEVYS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS GOING BACK ABOUT 6 YRS+- WITH IMPALAS AND MALIBU'S. THERE ARE 3 MOTORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT GO BAD, WHEN ONE IS FIXED THEN AND OTHER TWO GO BAD SHORTLY AFTER. THE COST RANGE IS ABOUT $600.00. I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH GM AND THE DEALER WITH NO SATISFACTION. I AM TOLD THE I HAVE TO PAY THEIR HOURLY RATE TO HAVE THIS INSPECTED, THEN THE REPLACEMENT COST. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. WHERE CAN I GET HELP. I AM 74YRS OLD AND ON A FIXED INCOME. PLEASE ADVISE!!!! *TR

TWICE THIS WEEK WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 55 MPH MY TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILIZATION LIGHT CAME ON ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AND A MESSAGE THAT SPEED IS REDUCED. THE CAR DID SLOW DOWN AND FELT LIKE MY TRANSMISSION WAS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE ENGINE THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE CAR RAN OK IT TOOK TILL THE NEXT MORNING FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OUT.I TOOK IT IN FOR A CHECK UP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A GAS PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. I HAD THIS REPLACED AT A TOTAL COST OF $210.00. *TR
