#5 of 11 2009 Impala seats with "Lumbar" by bigrig Jul 10, 2009 (5:52 am)
I bought my wife a new '09 Impala (1LT) which is a wonderful car except the lumbar in the split bench seat hits her "intrusively"---she almost can't stand to sit in it. She's short, and our daughter, also short, came home yesterday and immediately noticed the same thing. I hate to get rid of it already, but wondering if anyone else has same problem. Other than that, it's fantastic. Great mileage and nice features. Wonderful price also.   Haven't posted in years---good to be back! Still have my '01 LT 4WD Suburban, and you couldn't pry it away from me with a crowbar!   Bigrig

Replying to: cnw (May 18, 2009 5:06 pm) I have a 2009 LTZ with about 9500 miles and still only get 26 mpg on hwy doing 60-65 with cruise on most of time. With my style of driving, I also have a 2000 3.4 Impala with 192000 miles and I still get 30-31 mpg on the hwy and 20-22 in all city driving. I was hoping the 3.9 would perform much better than this. Maybe 29-30.
#7 of 11 Wind draft noise in 2009 impala by firstnewchevy1 Aug 19, 2009 (1:07 pm)
A month ago I purchased a new 2009 Impala LT1 a month ago. Since I brought it home I have endured what I describe as wind noise whenever I go 35-45 mph. If it's the least bit windy it's worse. There is a service bulletin with this issue. I had it in the body shop today. The body shop manager performed all the adjustments even pulled off the mirrors. The noise still exists. I would describe is more of a wind drafting issue coming across the car. Has anyone else had this problem?? What did you do to fix it. This is my first new car at 52. I really want to be totally satisfied with the car. It's wonderful to drive just noisy, Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, Rhonda Replies to this message: cnw (Aug 25, 2009 4:05 pm) priggly (Aug 26, 2009 8:54 pm) firstnewchevy1 (Aug 28, 2009 8:22 am)

Replying to: firstnewchevy1 (Aug 19, 2009 1:07 pm) I have had a 2006 and now have a 2009, neither of which have had any appreciable wind noise. They seem very quiet to me. A suggestion: ask the dealership if they will let you drive another 2009 Impala for comparison purposes. It will help establish a baseline for discussion with the service manager. I hope you get it resolved to your satisfaction. Obviously, I have been very satisfied with my Impalas. Clark

Replying to: firstnewchevy1 (Aug 19, 2009 1:07 pm) I own a 2006 Impala SS and it is one of the quietest cars I have ever owned. There is no road noise at 70 mph. It is one of the reasons I bought the car. You must have gotten a lemon.   Do you drive with your windows open or the sunroof open? Replies to this message: firstnewchevy1 (Aug 28, 2009 8:22 am)

Replying to: priggly (Aug 26, 2009 8:54 pm) Thanks for your help. I would describe it as a wind rushing noise. Of course my husband says to turn up the radio or air conditioner. I'm pretty sure that the windows are sealed. It does not have a sunroof and I do not drive with the windows down for the most part.
#11 of 11 2009 Impala - Active Fuel Management or not by hotchkiss1 Oct 26, 2009 (11:29 am)
I just purchased a used 2009 Impala, the cover on the engine says it has Active Fuel Management but there is no 6/3 cyl display. Is there an easy way to find out if it really has it?
