Filed Sep 5, 2017 · Electrical · TX

Trying to put car in gear its stuck in park all because of wiring near the bottom of the gear shut the wiring is weak and breaks real easy whitch is a safety hazzard because then you can be stuck somewhere. This has happend on multiple occasions to me and others I think it needs to be recalled and thicker wires.

My car won't shift from the park position, I had to lift up console cover and push release button in order to avoid paying for a tow. Found out it was the wired connector or module or possibly wires that move when you shift gears.

My key is stuck in the ignition of my 2006 impala. The first few times I was able to shift the car out of gear and back to park, while turning the key back and forth and the key would release. Now the key is stuck and will not come out of the ignition. Shifter is stuck in park. It starts just fine and goes into gear but I just can't shut it off.

At about 91000 miles my transmission started acting up (not shifting right, not going into any gear etc.) it finally would not shift at all unless I turned the car off multiple times and would then drive for about 2-5 minutes then all the gears would go out again. I had it towed to a transmission shop thinking it was just a censor and was told that my transmission would have to be replaced/repaired. It cost me almost $3000 to get it fixed. I have read on here and online that the 2006 chevy impala has had many issues with this. This is a very costly repair and wish there was a way to get at least a little refund on the cost. Also I have tried about everything to get the passenger side body side molding to stay on and people I have talked to state that they have had issues with that one staying on. It catches my door if I don't remember to push it in before opening the door. It is going to cost me $50.79 plus shipping to get a new one of these as well. The third thing I have wrong is I have had to replace both wheel bearings in the front end because of my ABS traction control sensor being messed up!
