My window regulator keeps snapping. This is the second one that I purchase in one year at the cost of $300.00 each time to repair. The repairman said that he believe that the window is to heavy for it. Each time I get it repaired, they said that they get a lot of them to fix.
2002 Chevrolet Impala visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 34 of 34, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving, the passenger window fell down into the door frame causing such a loud noise and startling me while driving I nearly crashed my car, leaving my child exposed to the weather and other things.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that she was unable to start the vehicle and the trunk and door locks failed to work. The dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of failure. The contact believed that the failure was caused by the anti-theft system. She has reprogrammed the anti-theft system. The failure has occurred approximately six times. The windshield on a clear day caused blurred vision. The dealer replaced the windshield, the failure did not continue. While driving 70 MPH the headlights began to blink. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The current mileage was 60,000 and failure mileage was 40,000.
While I love my 2002 chevrolet impala it has two major problems which affect its safety. First, I hd replaced the windshield wiper blade assembly twice in 1.5 years and the linkage had been reset two separate times. The windshield wipers stayed in an upright position, blocking the view from the windshield. The second problem was the rear brakes, which deteriorated and crusted , requiring full replacement of the brake pads, rotors, etc. This could cause brake failure if no action was taken by the owner and a responsible mechanic. The most recent failure date of the windshield wiperswas listed below. The brakes were fully replaced in march 2007.
Windshield wiper defect. Stays in up position when turned off. I have several other impalas siince this has started on my vehicle.
The windshield wipers work, but when you cut them off they stand straight up instead of laying down.
2002 impala wipers will not return to park position when turned off. Normal operation is ok. When wipers are turned off they stay in the full upper most position, causing an obstructed view through the windshield.
Windshield wiper blades keep failing in the winter months. Dealer keeps saying need to clean better, but that has not worked, and they have failed while in use on the highway. It is a safety issue in my mind. Keep putting new parts into the wiper train. At my expence and it still is a problem every winter.
Dt: contact states the rear defroster terminal fell off. This has been the 5th time this occurred. The rear window has been replaced once, waiting to be replaced again.
Windshield wipers when turned on off are in an upright postion on windshield.
I noticed that my transmission shifts very hard when it warms up. I took to chevrolet dealer, they changed my transmission mounts, and dog bones. I paid quite a few dollars and my vehicle still has this same problem. The vehicle has 85,000 miles, but I,ve maintained the vehicle very well. I,ve also had problems with my steering play.the dealer changed some parts in the assembly which is better. I'm a mechanic and I don't beleive that there was anything wrong with my drivetrain mounts, but it's in the transmission. I paid alot of money and still have the same problem. Since owning the car I had problems with the drivers window. The motor was changed once under warranty now it's doing the same thing again. The problem is it will go down but won't go up sometimes.
The windshield wipers stayed in the upright position when they were shut off. Took the car to the bill wink dealer and paid $ 78.00 to reposition them but only 3 days later, the wipers won't even move. I hear the motor trying to move them but its like they just don't catch the wiper to move them. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The windshield wipers were inoperative during inclement weather. The consumer had to run the engine for half an hour to defrost arms and bracket. The dealer has attempted to repair the wipers three times. The floor manager indicated there was leaking water underneath the hood.
My windshield wipers on my 2002 chevy impala started staying in the upright position, they still move when turned on but if I turn them off, they go right up to upright position. They have progressively gotten worse as now when I turn them on, they go so far back that they are scratching my paint. I read in the newspaper that there are several chevy(gm) cars with windshield wiper problems so I am wondering if this is the case then who do I need to contact or what do I need to do? Thank you very much.
I wanted him to check my driver side back door because it wouldn't open very easily at times, and the window to that same door would not open at times. Also, my trunk wouldn't open when one would use the trunk release button at times. I also had him check my dimming headlights, my steering which had a jerk in it when I went around curves, clicking sound in engine and an over all check since my warranty is about to run out in 1,000 miles. Turn out-after leaving the dealer my air conditioner was humming like a helicopter, my brakes were horrible and grinding and the car feels like it has no get up and go power. I took my car to brake check after leaving because when the dealer did the overall check of my car they said I needed a front brake job. And they wanted to charge me over 200.00 dollars. The dealer told me it was not covered under my warranty. Well brake check took off all four tires and found that my problem was due to left and right caliper problems on the inboard side and left rear hard wear problems and wear on the outboard side. The caliper is engaging but not disengaging and caused my pads to wear out and my rotors are ate up. The pads are not worn evenly which is definitely a sign of caliper problems. Also, the dealer upon the overall inspection of my car said that my intake gaskets were ruined and leaking coolant. They said they replaced them, however I am afraid that there is further damage to my vehicle that they are not telling me, just like my brakes. Due to the fact that steve at lone star told me that it was caused due to lack of oils changes and gil said it was a problem with the gaskets being improperly seated from the factory or just a defect in the gasket. Well is this why my car has no get up anymore? My car also made a grinding sound when hitting bumps under the right front fender area that nothing was done about and my headlight problem they said was due to a faulty battery cable.

Glare on windshield affects driver's visibility.
Color sandriff 49u of car. Consumer states while driving there is a glare on windshield.
While driving down the road the right passenger side mirror exploded - sounded like a gunshot. I was told something hit the mirror causing it to explode. This was based on the mirror casing having scratches on the top. I have never heard of a mirror exploding - for any reason - and neither has anyone else I have spoken to, including the dealership that is fixing my vehicle. Problem was reported to chevrolet but they did not seem concerned about the safety issue. My niece was sitting in the front seat at the time and, fortunately, did not have the window down - otherwise she would have been seriously injured.
