#96 of 167 Re: Handling Problem Resolved...We Hope [kenwrench] by zedo6 Mar 10, 2008 (5:24 am)
Replying to: kenwrench (Mar 08, 2008 4:08 am) > I had the same problem with my 2007 SS which I purchased new. Same diagnosis.    I had to eat the whole cost of 4 tires and the alignment. I live in Cleveland and you    have to know how to drive in snow and around chuck holes. Never had this happen    to me before. service manager said that he never seen anything like that.

#97 of 167 Handling Problem Resolved by kenwrench Mar 22, 2008 (4:08 am)
I posted not ago describing my '07 LT3's inability to track straight on slippery roads, and the problem's supposed fix.   We got hit with the snowstorm that went through the Midwest yesterday, and had ample opportunity to test the car. I'm happy to say it now tracks as straight as can be on nasty roads. Apparently, the bad front and rear alignment and resulting trashed tires were the problem. My wife will drive the car again.

Replying to: tschutz (Apr 18, 2008 2:21 am) I don't really notice my 07 going from 6 to 3, but I really notice it going from 3 to 6. Between the trans going in and out of overdrive, and I assume, the torque converter locking and unlocking, plus the engine turning half of itself on and off, this car has a very busy powertrain, and not always smooth. I found it disconcerting at first, but I've gotten used to it...

Replying to: tschutz (Apr 18, 2008 2:21 am) I have had my 2007, with the 3.9 engine, for about 14 months, and have never had a problem with the engine going from 6 cyl to 3 cyl or back to 6 cyl. I drive about 75% on the highway, over 55MPH. Replies to this message: kenwrench (Apr 19, 2008 4:47 am) tschutz (Apr 20, 2008 8:11 pm)

Replying to: rguthrie (Apr 18, 2008 12:32 pm) My driving is about the opposite, at least 75% in the city. On the highway, I agree, the transitions are imperceptible.

Replying to: tschutz (Apr 18, 2008 2:21 am) I have a 2006 Impala SS with the small-block V-8 with Displacement-on-Demand and cannot tell whatsoever when it changes from 6 cylinders to 3 or vice versa.

Replying to: rguthrie (Apr 18, 2008 12:32 pm) Thanks, I got a hold of Chevy again and they want to take a look at it. I have figured out it is when it goes from 3 cyl back to 6 Thanks
#104 of 167 2007 LS Keyless Entry by hartwj98 May 08, 2008 (5:43 pm)
I just purchased a 2007 Impala LS, and it didnt come with any keyless entry remotes. I thought this was a standard option, am I correct on that? If it is, do I need to buy a specific remote to program it, or are there 'universal' remotes that can be programmed? The dealer told me I would have to get an aftermarket one installed, but I wanted to see if there was a different option.

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)
