I have an 08 impala. when I too give it gas there is a little shake and the car revs and then catches like someone hit you in the back end. This started at 70000 miles when it was under warranty. Took it too the dealer ship and they said that there is no code showing. well, it kept happening and I kept telling my service rep who said the same things. no code we don't know. So i took it in for brakes and told the rep it is worse. he said before anyone drove it that i should keep driving it because sooner or later a code will show up. what crap! Now it has 11200 miles on it and they say they will only pay 50% to fix it. Even though I had been telling them about it since 70000 miles. I like the car BUT GM DOES NOT GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. No code, no problems. I will never buy a GM again because they do not back their waranties I have been buying from the same dealer for 27 years and his answer was that they would pay 50% of my half. They don;t care that I reported it at 70000 and now its out of warenty so its my fauly. I will now buy a ford or a foreign car and take my chances, For all the blogs I have read about this problem happening to others, it seems that GM knows about it but says nothing. It really is call General Mess. Glad the gov ownes it because it will be out of business again. All obama did was give the unions a ballout! They are still a crummy car company!!!

I have read problems about my car that I have been experiencing but tonight I had to register and post about it
 
I have a 2008 Impala SS.
I bought it used from the chevy dealer with 70k miles in April 2010. It wasn't untill a week later i learned that it was a rental car. why a rental company would want a SuperSport is beyond me...
It now has 91k miles.
 
Anyway, I experience the same slipping transmission problem. I have taken it to the dealer for other problems and they never experienced this one. Tonight I was driving it and it decided to not drive altogether....I stopped at a stop sign and when traffic was clear I tried to make a left turn. The engine revved but the car did not move. I tried again in drive and again in reverse. Only after turning the car off was I able to drive for about 50yards and it quit again. Turned the car off again, made a u-turn and went back to the side street of the original stop sign and the car quit again. Just had it towed, good thing for AAA...
 
the other problems experienced were the "service stabilitrack" and "engine power loss" dash warnings. Just got it back from the dealer on Monday(10-15-12) for a PO443 code, replaced the Purge solinoid a month ago and got the code again so they recommended rewiring from the purge to the computer. If the engine light comes back on they said it could be the computer.
 
Who else loves when the company who built the car says: "It might be....that is wrong with it"
 
I will never take my car back to Valencia Chevrolet
FIX MY CAR

#392 of 444 Chevy Quality Terrible by sickofchevy

Oct 18, 2012 (12:11 pm)

Sorry Chevy, we could not come to a fair conclusion concerning my vehicle. I will have the repair done at my cost and will turnaround and sell the car and buy a Ford. I am fully tired of POOR Chevy Quality, it is terrible, and customers are going to be sick of it. How a company with service issues that have caused re-designs to occur, then asked the customer to pay for fixing these defects, is in business is amazing. But one-by-one, your customers will rebel, and this is my first email of thousands I plan to send out, outlining these issues for all to see. As soon as I have some time, I will make certain that I get on the many social websites dedicated to car buying and make sure everyone knows my story. I am fed up with the "OLD GM" and now the "NEW GM". Please contact me by email and I will lay the issues out in detail.

#394 of 444 2005 impala transmission by falcon4420

Oct 20, 2012 (6:34 pm)

I have 2005 impala since new with about 70K miles. The problem is similar to the ones described here, mine shifts "violently" specially after drives of 10 miles or more, the problem can occasionally be fixed by shutting the car down for a couple of minutes and restarting...any one else run into this?
 
The folks on these posts are correct about GM standing up to the plate like Toyota just did and fix these lemon transmissions.
 
My other car is a 1989 Ford bronco II and it runs like a champ!, it's embarrassing to drive this impala "lurcher" with company...Shame on you GM!

These transmission problems are caused by a faulty module that costs around $300 to replace. My mother's 2006 Impala had this problem and a local mechanic diagnosed it right away.

I am so with you on this one. My car has been to the dealer in the past and they could not find the electrical issues. Now that I contacted GM, they want me to take it to the dealer and pay for the diagnostics testing again to see if it is something as a recall. Really, as much money that has been put into it already, they want me to pay for this. Why don't they offer me a voucher to have this looked into. If it is not a recall, then I will take it to get fixed. Sick over this!!!
