Replying to: john_gilius (Jun 21, 2009 7:35 pm) hi john, thank you so much for your response. yes, you are right about the name i left the car at the dealership over the weekend and plan to talk to the head boss man tomorrow. i will definitely let you know how it goes. you are right about the techs being idiots. the guy i talked to yesterday, said it could probably be jumped but he wasn't sure it would keep running! i don't know if he was trying to scare me, but the car *will* keep running after it's been jumped unless the issue is *not* the battery. comments like those are what frighten me the most! i can't tell if they are dumb or are counting on me to be dumb will keep you posted!!

Replying to: john_gilius (Jun 21, 2009 7:35 pm) Went to dealership this a.m. and talked to the service manager. He had a tech test the battery right in front of me and established that the battery had a bad cell. He offered to replace the battery for a discounted price of $59.99 - much better than the original quote of $200!! Also, didn't charge anything for installation/labor. Hopefully all the problems are solved now
#159 of 167 shiny black door trim degrades.... hmmmm by john_gilius Sep 23, 2009 (8:11 am)
hi all. just taking an informal poll. seems the glossy piano black vertical trim piece between the front and back doors has started to peel it's clearcoat off, or something akin to that. anyone else having this unsightly issue?? i only have one of the 4 trim pieces going south on me, but it is enough that i think it looks terrible. anyone go around with the dealer on this? i am ready to, but figured i'd post here first to see if i got a bum trim piece or not. i fear that is not the case, our 98 cavalier did the same thing, albeight after 6 years, not 3. thanks... john in grand haven, mi. black 07 3LT Replies to this message: cnw (Sep 23, 2009 5:57 pm) kenwrench (Sep 24, 2009 5:48 am) john_gilius (Sep 24, 2009 6:04 am) twarno (Sep 29, 2009 11:46 am)
#160 of 167 Tire Pressure Warning by kenwrench Sep 23, 2009 (9:29 am)
'07 3LT 61,000 miles. My tire pressure monitoring system is still working, but I had the tires rotated, and they didn't update the tire positions. The right rear is tire goes soft over time, but the monitor says it's the right front.   The DIC says to push the button with the check mark to update tire positions. I do this, the horn toots, and I get a message to the effect that it's updating. But it doesn't work. Am I supposed to do something else, or should it update automatically once you push the button? The manual sheds little light on this. Thanks.

Replying to: john_gilius (Sep 23, 2009 8:11 am) I had that same issue on a 2006 Impala last year. It was still under warranty and not a question asked by the servicing dealer. All four doors were affected; they ordered parts and replaced without ANY hesitation. Clark

Replying to: john_gilius (Sep 23, 2009 8:11 am) '07 LT3 61,000 miles. Our door trim is holding up okay. Two other things though: the chrome on the lower front grille went bad, and the dealer replaced it under warranty with no questions. We also have rust starting underneath the chrome trim on the trunklid. It's leaving a muddy-colored streak as it dribbles down. I've seen other Impalas with the same problem. We're in the rust belt. Anyone else have this? Replies to this message: john_gilius (Sep 24, 2009 6:04 am)

Replying to: kenwrench (Sep 24, 2009 5:48 am) hi ken. i'm in grand haven, michigan, so that makes me rust belt too. thankfully no rusticles on mine yet, but thanks for a head's up on a place to watch. i think i'll be visiting my stealership this week, even though my 3/36 is a few thousand past. my chrome on the grille looks like crap too. good ol' plastic plating. ida been happier with a black or silver painted surface there instead of plated plastic.

Replying to: zedo6 (Mar 10, 2008 5:24 am) Ken, I have a 2007 SS with 28,000 miles and now Four Bad tires and a car out of alignment. Does the warranty cover any part of this problem thanks.   PAT Replies to this message: john_gilius (Sep 29, 2009 9:51 am)
