I have an 2005 chevrolet impala with 45,000 miles and night time driving is very difficult and scary as the headlights will go off without warning and you never know when it will happen. I have had it in the shop multiple times and they have replaced parts and still has not fixed the problem. Now the speedometer has quit working and is stuck on 140 miles an hour.
2005 Chevrolet Impala lights complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 51 of 51, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I own a 2005 chevy impala. The high beam headlights started going out a year and a half ago around july or aug. 2006. Around 75,000 miles was when the problem started and I now have 96,000 miles. At first I was able to fix it by switching back to low beam and then could switch back to high beam and they would work. In feb. 2007 I had the car into the dealer to replace the blower fan and told them what was happening. I explained that when the lights were about to go out I could hear a buzzing in the satellite radio, like a shorting noise. First I was told that I had to bring it in when it happened so they could check the problem. The only issue was that I drive 40 miles each way to work and it would happen in the middle of the trip. When I went back to pick up the car I was told that it was a multifunction switch and it was about a $500 part. I decided I could deal with the situation and have held off on getting it repaired. Last week I got in my car to go home from work and I didn't have any high beam lights at all. You can make them work if you hold the lever back.
Headlights go out intermittently.
I own an 05 impala we have had the headlight fail on us about 6-12 times we will be driving down the road and the headlights will go out I have tried running with the switch on and they still go out its has even happened to me on a curve I just about put the car in the ditch ive asked my dad witch is a gm certified mechanic about it and there's not a known problem that he knows of I would like this fixed before I do go in the ditch and my family is with or I get a call from the cops that my wife has smashed the car there is a problem and gm should have to fix the problem before some one is killed from it.
Electrical-headlights stopped working.
While driving my 2005 chevy impala after dark the headlights just went out. Was driving 55mph down the highway with my whole family was in the car. Pulled the headlight switch in and out a few times and they came back on. About one mile later the both went out again.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet impala. While driving 50 MPH at night the headlights dimmed without warning. Approximately fifteen seconds later the headlights illuminated again. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer. The current and failure mileages were 40,595.
There are times when I am driving at night my headlights will go out. I usually can get them back on. It is scary when this happens. It has happened in rain storms at night and there is oncoming traffic. I have also had a wheel hub that has been replaced when my car was only 1.5 years old. I was told there is no recall on this and I can't find one. I had to pay to replace the new part on a fairly new car. I have the old part in my trunk.
Dt*: the contact stated water collected in the tail lights. The vehicle was driven to the dealer who determined the tail lights needed to be replaced.
Water in backup lights gm repaired 2 times but refuses to repair again says it is a characteristic of the vehicle.
Dt: the contact does not like the headlights in the car. The dealership adjusted the headlights three different times. The contact is still not satisfied. He says he cannot see to drive at night because the headlights only shine about forty feet in front of the car.*ak updated 12/07/05.
