In the fall 2010 I purchased the 2006 impala with nearly 19,000 miles on it. . From the start I was having problems losing air with one of the tires, and each time I took it in, was told it was fixed. At the beginning of 2013 I started pumping air into that one tire every 3,4, days, and the grinding noise I heard since april of 2013, ( at which time it passed inspection) progressed into not being able to steer at all. On april 4, 2014,(car inspection time) I managed to bring the car to the dealership I purchased from. After spending $921. For the yearly ny state inspection, four new tired, the problem with the deflating tire, the power steering , I thought everything is "ok". Not so. As I drove the car home, I heard this loud humming noise. I thought I purchased some bad tires??? So I drove the car a little longer, hoping the noise will subside. Not so!!. So, on may 20, this year 2014 I again took the impala to the dealership. After replacing a front wheel bearing and another bill for $526. I needed to talk with one of the owners. At which time I also discussed the steering wheel problem. He gave me all kinds of explanation..... And reduced the bill to $356.. After incurring a total sum of 1,278. I do not know who to blame. The car manufacturer???, the dealer???? Or my lack of car knowledge. I am a single 75 year old woman, on a very limited ss income who thought this car should last my lifetime. I drove other cars before, and never experienced such heartache as I do now. As of today 5/20/2014 the mileage on the vehicle is 43,882. I kept this car in the garage, as you can see by the mileage, this should have not happen.

2006 chevrolet impala. Consumer writes in regards to transmission problems. *smd the consumer stated the transmission was slipping. She explained to the dealer, there was a recurring problem with the transmission. Each time, the consumer went to the dealer, she was informed they could not recreate the problem, and therefore no problem existed. Besides the transmission problem, there was a horrible ratcheting machine-gun type noise coming from behind the dash, when she changed the vent position. The loud noise lasted for about a minute and was almost ear-piercing. Also, the engine mount broke, the water pump, steering and tie rods failed, the engine burned excessive amount of oil, and the engine low oil light illuminated. The windows made a screeching sound, the sunroof would drag, the plastic headlight covered were fogged and faded. The tire pressure monitoring light was constantly on. On april 24, 2013.

Bought 2006 impala lt used in june 2009 with 41,000 miles replaced the factory tires didn't like the way they rode. Started hearing a grinding noise that got louder with acceleration mechanic said all four tires were bad wearing on the inside. The tires only have 21,000 miles on them and most of my tires last me 40,000 minimum. Did some online research found numerous complaints about premature wear for tires on chevy impalas. Looking at another $500 + for brand new tires if the place I bought them doesn't uphold the warranty which is for 50,000 miles/5 years.

I have had to replace the tires on my 2006 impala 4 times since I bought it. I am currently on the 5th set of tires after only 105,000 miles. I buy the tires with 50-70 thousand mile usage, yet I have to replace them for uneven wear every 20-25 thousand miles, even with routine rotations and alignment when I saw the lawsuit about 2007 and 2008 impalas, I was shocked that 2006 wasn't included because it is the exact same problem I've been having.

I have a 2006 chevy impala lt 3.9 with 55,000 miles just had to put water pump 2by pass hose and bottom hose bill came to around $470. This car has been babied ever since new and with top notch service performed regularly. Besides this problem the tire air sensors are also a joke replaced two of them at around $70.00 each. Still don't work properly. While I'm on roll I should mention the remote start, unlock, system is also a joke, took it to a dealer told them it would not work anything, they came back to me two hours later and said the module in drivers door was bad, two remotes ,module, calibration and $917.00 and they would have me on my way. Ha ha. Told them to put it back together and I was paying my 80.00 for the time spent and leaving. As I was going to my car the service rep. Said when they put it back together it began working, everything but tire pressure info. I have read other people have remote problems just wondered how common this problem is. Also I cannot believe my water pump went bad @55,000 miles.
