Replying to: rvoth (Jan 29, 2009 9:19 am) Sorry for not replying sooner. I could not log in?? Thanks for the tip. Placing cardboard in front of the radiator is not something I've done for 30 years, but it is worth a try. Also, we will be going to northern Vermont this month. Maybe I should try a dealer up there if the problem recurs- it's more likely that a Vt dealer might have encountered the problem.
#6 of 7 2008 Impala automatic transmission locked up by reewve Mar 29, 2009 (1:57 pm)
My shift lever locked up in Park and won't release. Shift lever release button will not depress. It sounds like it may be torque locke, but this thing is stuck solid, won't budge. Tried everything recommended in the owner's manual, pushed it, etc. I'm stuck and there's no-one at Chevy to help me. Car has 25k miles and is otherwise fine. I have no clue...any suggestions? Thanks.
#7 of 7 Steering Assembly - 2008 Impala SS by ajt1124 Apr 11, 2009 (6:23 pm)
I heard knocking noise when applying brakes and when pulling into parking spots and such. I took it to the dealer and they said the steering assembly had to be replaced. Well less than 8 months later, the sound is back. Is this an on going issue with the 2008 Impala SS?
