2004 Chevrolet Impala transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 47 of 47, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The transmission has suffered a failure of the solenoid and valve body. Apparently through speaking with some other owners of the same car, it is a known issue by gm as they have issued service bulletins in relation. This has occurred in cars as early as 30,000 miles. It causes the vehicle to shift hard and the transmission to fail as an end result.
Vehicle can be shifted out of park without depressing brake pedal while ignition is in acc. Position. When the car is running you have to depress to release the shifter as per shifter interlock.
2004 chevy impala transmission failed while driving on a major highway interstate 80. The failure has cost $100's of dollars in tow truck fees, rental fees etc. Complaints were made to grey chevrolet in stroudsburg pennsylvania over the past 6 months regarding a noise come from either the transmission or the engine and up to the point of the failure the service departement at the dealer could never find a problem with the vehicle. The vehicle was never property assessed. Gmc customer assistance was also contacted regarding our unsatisfactory service my this dealer over the past few months as I write this complain 7/7/05 my car is still sitting in the lot of the service department awaiting word from gmc on what to do.
Car parked on hill with emergency brake engaged. When brake was released, car rolled backwardsas if in neutralal, even though it was in park.
Bought a 2004 from russ darrow group in madison wi. This car was a rental car we paid 19k for it and it has 30k miles on it. It shakes when driving over 50mph and the brakes are unreliable. The salesman cooericed us into this car, and we tried to rectify the matter within 48 hours, but they won't cooperate. There are 2004 cars with 0 miles for less money, that have not been in any accidents. The front end is out of allignment and it is unsafe to drive. It is a 2004 chevy impala. We want a different, safe car, we do not want this fixed. The payments are almost 500 per month for six years. There are three different mileage amounts on the papers and on the contract the odometer says 0 striken out. Please help. Thank you.
I have rented several gm vehicles over the last year and found that in most every one of them it is possible to shift the car from park without applying the brake while the key is in the acc position.
