there is a known issue with the shift lock release. the cable will fail in many 2006-2013 impala's. the vehicle will not get out of park. another well known issue is the blend door actuator. it is a noise that comes from the dash/heating/cooling due to chevy using cheap plastic parts.

I live in memphis tn. I leased a vehicle from ifinance in nesbit, ms. After getting vehicle towed by them I called to inform them of leak and clunking noises coming from under vehicle.so, as im driving in my apartment complex with my kids I loose power of steering wheel and almost crash with a parked car. After stopping I inspect the vehicle I notice the motor and frame is partially loosened from car, also noticed a screw broke under frame which holds bottom carriage to car frame,it was laying under vehicle, after I stopped thus disabled steering ,it turns freely no wheel play, and I almost wrecked in apartment complex because motor came partially loosened. I cant drive the vehicle and now it has to be towed home and towed again to their lot to be repaired

Air bag sensor has been tripped for the past 7 months, I have researched this recall, and it looks like the wiring harness might be the only thing that needs to be replaced. However, whenever, I put in my VIN number, there aren't any recalls for this. Also, I have received a letter about the gas sensor possibly being bad, however, when I took it into a chevy dealer to have it fixed, they refused to. They told me that the check engine light wasn't on, and that I had to wait until it failed before they would fix it! Failure of this sensor means, it could fail in an intersection, or while I am passing someone, or whatever, this is a safety concern!!! I am very unhappy that they wouldn't fix it. Now, my check engine light is on, however, it is because another sensor is bad! The evc sensor now has to be fixed. The airbag sensor was tripped while I was driving on the hwy at 70 MPH on a warm day of 80 f or so. The evc sensor tripped overnight when I started the car in the morning. The gas pedal sensor has been a problem for 3 years because chevy dealers refuse to fix it. These concerns are in addition to the other mechanical fixes that I have had to do on a car that has less than 87,000 miles on it! I am feeling like I have a lemon of a car and that this impala is the worst car on the market. I have had several chevy products, and have never experienced problems like this. What happened to the great products that chevy once produced???
