#105 of 170 Re: 2007 LS Keyless Entry [hartwj98] by beach15 May 09, 2008 (5:36 pm)
Replying to: hartwj98 (May 08, 2008 5:43 pm) Yes, it was standard. You need to get original GM remotes and have them programmed.   Ebay is a GREAT source for them. The general link:   http://motors.search.ebay.com/impala_Keyless-Entry-Remote-Fob_W0QQcatrefZC6QQcoa- ctionZcompareQQcoentrypageZsearchQQcopagenumZ1QQdfspZ2QQfposZ19087QQfromZR2QQfso- oZ2QQfsopZ2QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQmppfqyZimpalaQQsabfmtsZ1QQsacatZ33723QQsadisZ200QQs- aobfmtsZinsifQQsargnZQ2d1QQsaslcZ2QQsbrftogZ1QQsofocusZbs   And one of the specific ones (that particular remote was for a variety of cars). One has the remote start button, but as an LS, I presume yours doesn't have that:   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KELYLESS-REMOTE-06-07-CHEVY-IMPALA-MONTE-CARLO-15- 912859_W0QQitemZ260238626158QQihZ016QQcategoryZ33723QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmd- ZViewItem Replies to this message: hartwj98 (May 10, 2008 8:50 am)

#107 of 170 Factory Sunroof Question by kenwrench Jul 11, 2008 (4:17 pm)
'07 LT3. We bought the car used, this is our first summer with it. All during cool weather this spring, the power factory sunroof worked very smoothly. But we've noticed when the car sits in the sun on hot days, the sunroof shudders and vibrates the whole roof when it opens. When it cools off at night, or in the morning, it operates smoothly again. I'm assuming something is expanding in the heat, and getting the roof out of adjustment. Anyone else notice this, or is our car screwed up? Replies to this message: cnw (Jul 12, 2008 4:25 am)

Replying to: kenwrench (Jul 11, 2008 4:17 pm) I've got a 2007 Grand Prix with sun roof--essentially the same mechanism--and I have not experienced whaqt you have described. I live in Texas and the car sits in the sun during the day so it gets to 100 degrees or greater. Sounds to me that you have something that needs adjustment or lubrication. Good luck. Clark

#110 of 170 new owner, 07 3LT, 3.9, black, ebony, 26k by john_gilius Sep 23, 2008 (3:56 pm)
hello all. just purchased a certified 07 impala with 24,771 on it about a month ago. it is a beautiful car so far, no big complaints yet. has all options except bose (thank god, my 84 vette's bose sucked!) and it replaced a still thriving 160k 92 mercury sable LS. just wanted to post that the car has already been back to the dealer for a brand new alternator. it exhibited a pulsing in the interior lighting/blower/headlights when driven in the dark. changed variables inside the car over a week (fan on and off, a/c, fog lights, radio. rear defog, etc) to be sure it wasn't just one item drawing the electric system down. my guess of alternator or voltage regulator was confirmed yesterday, installed today, and the car is safely back home. let's hope that's the last major issue for the next 140k, LOL peace..... john in grand haven, mi Replies to this message: priggly (Sep 25, 2008 7:37 pm) tschutz (Sep 25, 2008 9:48 pm)

Replying to: john_gilius (Sep 23, 2008 3:56 pm) The Bose in the new Impala is hardly the same one as in your '84 Corvette. You can't compare the two. The Impala Bose is actually excellent. I have it in my '06 SS and it is one of the best features of the car!

Replying to: john_gilius (Sep 23, 2008 3:56 pm) I have a 2007 Impala with the 3.9 candy apple red. I have had it back 3 times for the hesitation in the acceleration. Twice they put a new map sensor in it, that did not help. The last time I had it in they gave me a bulletin from Chevy that they are a wear of the problem, at this time there is no fix to it. I do not like it, but per Chevy I have to live with it. I am not happy.   I have also had it back as I was having some dash problems. They had to put another ground in it some place, that fixed that problem.   Back to the problem with the hesitation, now you got me fired up again, its time to fire off another e-mail to Chevy
#113 of 170 dangitall... same problem......grrrrr by john_gilius Sep 26, 2008 (7:57 pm)
hello, looks like the impala goes back in the beginning of the week. wife has driven the car the last few mornings, and the same flickering in the electric system is being noted. no car i have ever owned has done this...wait, i have never owned a new car...... hmmmmm... it's funny an electrical gremlin like this made it into the second year of the new model. so much for my late father's advice to buy the second year of a new model. i will keep you all abreast. peace...... john on the fresh water west coast!

Replying to: john_gilius (Sep 26, 2008 7:57 pm) Is the flickering/pulsating constant or only when one of the elctrical accessories is used? For example, the headlights on my '06 Impala will dim slightly when I use the power windows. But once I release the power window switch the headlights go back to normal.   If this is what you are experiencing, I would say it is normal (I have owned several cars that also exhibited this type of behavior). However, if your lighting is pulsating/dimming/flickering constantly while driving then that is a problem that the dealer should easily be able to resolve...especially if it is doing it when the radio, A/C system, rear defroster, turn signals, overhead lights, etc. are ALL OFF. That leans toward one of the underhood components putting an abnormal load on the electrical system...or shorting out.   Do the lights flicker if you turn the headlights on manually using the headlight switch as opposed to the auto setting? If they do not flicker on the manual setting, it could be something as simple as a faulty auto-headlight switch or sensor.
