When I first got the car I noticed that while driving it would sound like it wanted to cut off and eventually it did every time I came to a complete stop. Eventually it would not start at all. Had to get the fuel regulator pump changed twice. Then my car was claiming to be overheating so I changed the thermostat, temperature sensor and fan relays. But my temperature gauge is reading out of whack saying my car is overheating when its not. A couple months later my speedometer just started acting up as well . It keep moving up all around and sometimes may stay on zero. Yesterday it made a complete 360 and is stuck it at the bottom. A coworker was jus telling me about her chevy truck speedometer problems last week and literally within a weeks time the exact thing happens to me with no warning. There must need to be a recall if I don't even have to finish typing chevy impala and speedometer problems automatically pops up!!!!
2005 Chevrolet Impala acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
From stop I would step on the gas, and the car would slam into gear. I have had to have the electrical cluster replaced $300, and the fuel control replaced (car always smelt like gas) now they think this slam is the tcc valve in the transmission which is anywhere from $600-$900. Also the steering knuckle makes a loud noise on sharp turns. Whats next? Are any of these issues recalls?
2005 chevrolet impala. Consumer writes in regards to lack of recall on vehicle with bad sensor clusters. *smd the consumer stated the speedometer was inoperative, due to a bad sensor cluster.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet impala. While traveling 30 MPH, the contact applied the brakes and noticed that the vehicle had began to accelerate abnormally. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired for the failure. The current and the failure mileages were 131,000.
The speedometer just stopped working, the transmission shift hard but when you shut off the engine and start it back up it stops shifting hard, and the car stalls.
Steering knuckle makes a popping noise speedodometer does not work temp gauge does not work cruise control engages when ever it wants to if the switch is in the on position a herd that a lot of chevrolets had recalls for these conditions! Are there any recalls for these conditions on my car?
I was driving home one night and my car said I was doing 120 MPH. When I was at a complete it still read 75 MPH. We replaced the speed sensor twice thinking this may be the problem, but it was not. I can get it back to 0 by turning the car on and off until it hits 0. This kept doing this so I took it to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they stated it was a cluster in the dash going out. I have two children who are in this car with me alot and do alot of night time driving and when this goes out is not the best feeling of safety. I have a 2005 chevy impala.
Speedometer gauge not showing proper speed shows doing 100 when parked, took car to dealer and was told nothing was wrong with it. Speedometer completely quit working and now the fuel gauge is not working. Speedometer quit working 2 years ago. Cruise control has went out several times and no longer works transmission started slipping around 80,000 miles. Traction control and ABS light is constantly on and stating that it needs to be service when traction control was never engaged.
My wife and two children were riding in our 2005 chevrolet impala and it suddenly started accelerating uncontrollably. My wife called 911 and told them that she couldn't get the car to stop and the brakes seemed to be locked. The car went uncontrollably for about 3/4 mile, and reached speeds over 90 MPH. She ended up putting the car in neutral to get it to slow down even though the engine was still accelerating. We had it towed to a chevy dealer, but they didn't find anything wrong with it. If my wife wouldn't have thought to put the car in neutral, my entire family very possibly could have died. Very scary incident!!
Our complaint is about gm's unwillingness to recall 2005 chevy impala's for the speedometer instrument cluster (stepper motor) issue. Apparently, they've recalled the trucks but not the cars. That's totally unacceptable. I have to pay $500 to get this fixed and they are aware of the issue but, now my vehicle has over 70,000 miles which is also a problem-I don't understand why this would matter - broken is broken. Anything you can do to help to get this recalled with no mileage restrictions would be greatly appreciated.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet impala. While driving less than 70 MPH, the vehicle would not decelerate when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact continued to pump the brakes until the vehicle eventually slowed down. Periodically, while traveling in residential areas or areas where the speed limit is less than 55 MPH, the vehicle will accelerate on its own. The contact would remove his foot from the accelerator pedal and the vehicle acted as if it were stuck in cruise control. The dealer believed that the cruise control may be the cause of the failure. The failure and current mileages were less than 92,500. Updated 11/12/08 *bf updated 11/13/08.
The speedometer on my daughter's 2005 chevrolet stopped working at 50'000 mi. We called chevrolet, but were told since the car was out of warranty we would have to pay for the repair.(350 dollars). I would like to know if there have been other complaints about this problem.
2005 chevrolet impala jumped out of park and rolled backwards. *mr the impact caused the garage door to pop open and crash back down and trapping the consumer inside of the garage. The consumer suggested that gm should take responsibility for the defective vehicle. The vehicle also stalled when shifting to reverse from park, the vehicle hesitated to start therefore the consumer had to hold the key from several seconds while the starter attempted to turn over and the vehicle continued to grind.
While driving at approximately 35 MPH driver was coming to a stop and applied the brakes and vehicle lunged forward, and rear ended another vehicle. Driver pulled to the right of the vehicle, and the vehicle was continuing to go, and the engine revved. Vehicle finally stopped after hitting a tree. Also, the air bags deployed. *ak *bf
