We could still drive at about 20 MPH uphill & 45-50 on flat roads. We shut the car off 4 about 2 hrs 2 cool down. But then as soon as we headed up a hill it started all over.
No problem w transmission until it broke down halloween my car has just under 68k miles this is ridiculous nothing was wrong drove no issues, went to leave when I ttook off notice loud metal on metal grinding noise, like no engine power
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
When I first purchase my car from a used car dealer which is smart auto dealer, 2 weeks later my vehicle will start to have issues while my vehicle is in motion on the service streets. Whenever I am making a left turn my alert alarm will light up on dash stating service brake assist , service stabilitrak , service traction control and ABS light, this will go on & off, but now it stays on constantly. While turning left, there will be a grinding noise, car tends to reduce its power, like its hard for me to take off and my vehicle will kick so hard, like something is locking. Also another issue is while parked on a slanted carport, my vehicle will not go into reverse gear. I feel like my vehicle is going to break because, I have to force it to get into reverse gear, that the vehicle will make the loudest noise, like my axle is going to break on me. According to the dealers service department its not showing up on there diagnostic as any issues. Can someone please tell me if there is a recall on my vehicle? There was a known recall, but my VIN# is not showing up. Dealers are trying to cheat me
Having trouble with my impala 2010 with shifting of the transmission from first to second gear. It seems to be slipping sometimes not all the time.
At 108492 mile the transmission stopped working there was no warning what so ever we were sitting at a red light and it would not go in any gear. Was towed to multistate transmission in waterford, michigan and cost $2,259.76 to be repaired I would like to be reimbursed some if not all this money
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. While the vehicle was stationary, the vehicle would not operate in the reverse position. While driving various speeds, the transmission "slipped" several times and caused the contact to apply significant pressure to the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.
Service stabilitrak indicator showed up and the vehicle does not run properly (engine seemed to want to stall, loss of power, rough idleing, transmission 'kicking'. This problem should be repaired by the dealership and not the consumer since the costs of repair are (can be) extremely high. Manufacturer should ensure the parts they use for stability and safety will last for the life of the vehicle.
My car died along side the highway due to the transmission suddenly failing. We were unable to move in any forward or reverse gears. I have never driven the car hard, and always maintain per manufacturers specifications and guidelines. 2010 impala with 130,000 miles. Fortunately a police officer was able to park behind us in the road with his lights flashing to keep cars from running into us until we were able to get towed away. I had just made a left hand turn onto the highway, and the transmission instantly failed after the turn (I had driven about a mile from my garage till the failure).

While driving on a secondary roadway heard a loud noise then lost steering control as the front wheels locked and was forced off the road veering to the right. The front wheels will not rotate in any gear now vehicle was towed to the dealer. Feldman chevrolet of novi, mi states there is metal in the transmission fluid. Low miles and no prior accidents, no transmission issues prior, dealer maintained. Loss of steering control is a safety issue.

Pecking sound starts when door is open and get faster when car is started but quits shortly after. Will start pecking sometimes when its just setting not in use.
I was going home from work in the middle of 4-lane rush hour traffic going across an intersection. With no warning, no lights coming on or anything my car began to lose acceleration and stopped then it just would not move at all! The tow truck had a hard time getting the car onto his truck as the wheels locked up..............no warning lights, never slipped never had any transmission issues.
My transmission went. I drove it one day and the next I get in it start it up put the car in drive and press the accelerator and the car won't move. I then put it in reverse and I could use the accelerator to go backwards. Never had any warning and no lights ever lit up on my dashboard.

The transmission shifter lever is stuck in park and the key is stuck in the ignition switch due to a very poor electrical design. The electrical wires attached to the connector that operates the solenoid that unlocks the transmission shifter button in the park position and that also connects to the ignition switch and operates various functions such as releasing the ignition key and allows the vehicle electrical system to be completely turned off ,breaks off due to electrical wires being too short and the back and forth movement of the shifter . Checking the online blogs this is a known issue that has been happening on several gm vehicles for some time without any recalls despite constant customer complaints due to the very poor design. Some dealers have suggested leaving the key in the ignition switch and unlocking and locking the vehicle with the key fob. This invites vehicle theft and by not having the electrical system completely turned off, the battery runs down as the accessories and ignition is still turned on and the transmission lights on the instrument panel remains lighted. Some customers have had repeat reoccurrences after having the issue repaired at a cost of between $500 and $600. After inspecting the operation of the shifter and the affect it has on the electrical wiring it is obvious that the wiring will fail and in the blogs as early as whilst under warrantee. I am concerned if there are any other issues that may occur especially safety ones as there is 5 wires I do not know the function of each wire . Can you please investigate this issue.

I was driving and my cars engine light came on 1st then the traction control light. When they came on it reduced power to my engine and quit on the interstate. I had looked up possible causes when I had a test ran it was showing throttle body I replaced it and it never fixed it upon research I have seen multiple people who owns impalas from the years 2009 and up having the same issues and feel it is something that needs to be looked into. What I have found idk yet I am waiting on the piece to see if this is the issue or not is the pedal sensor could be the cause. But I feel it can be unsafe because my car had quit on a busy interstate with cars traveling at the speed of 65mph and higher. Just when I was looking it up I had saw so many other people having the same issues with their impalas. Please look into it thank you .\
After purchasing this vehicle within 30 days the air bag system light came on I took the vehicle back to future nissan of folsom and they stated that I would have to call the warranty people there was nothing they could do about it. A week later I noticed when I slow down using the breaks it makes a shaking sound, making the whole car shake. This vehicle also has no coverage when pumping gas I noticed the silver cap inside that's suppose to remain closed until you put the gas pump in there in always open, which allows air to get inside. My powertrain is not accelerations properly, it takes about a minute for it to catch its gear.

To whom it may concern: I am writing this letter on behalf of my parents for the great abuse that has been done to them. About 3 years ago they were really excited because for the first time in there life after living here for close to 40 years they would have bought a car from a dealership! A fairly new car, first car from a local agency in madera. The name of the dealer: madera chrysler jeep dodge. They sold my parents a defective from the beginning. They knew about the recalls since 10/13/2010 and 05/25/2010 this was before they even purchased the car 11/26/2011. They are doing unlawful sales to vulnerable poor customers and are not in compliance. According to general motors it is and was completely the car dealerships responsibility to fix these recalls (please see attached list of recalls). Their solution is to well purchase a new car from them. They still have our car and have made no intent to fix it. Please help us put a stop to this bad and corrupt sales manager who takes advantage of hispanic latinos who don?t read or speak spanish. There are many families at risk who might buy a car that is defective and there can be a horrible catastrophe or death. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
For the last few months off and on my chevy impala has starting jerking after taking off even if I barely press the gas pedal. It's like it's stuck in gear when driving not shifting but then it drives normally. I almost got rear ended because after a stop at a light I started to take off but it hesitated and jerked. Have been talking to other chevy impala owners even some of the previous generations and the same issue has occured with them also. This needs to be looked into you pay good money for a vehicle you expect it to perform as it's suppose to.
