After parking my car, i just happened to noticed smoke coming out from the front of car and i was fortunate enough to have a dry chemical fire extinguisher available to put out the flames. it appears that there was a valve cover oil leak that had dripped onto the exhaust manifold that caused the oil to ignite into flames. resulting damage that i'm visually able to see was to all spark plug wires, engine coils, plastic engine cover, oil dipstick, right engine strut, wiring harness pigtail going to coil pack assembly and under hood insulation. i will not know full extent of damage until i attempt to perform the repairs myself. i have photos if someone would like to view them. also, the mileage i listed of 99,400 is approximate, it is not exact as i am not near my car at the moment. *tr
Intake manifold gasket. why are the defected? there are so many complaints about faulty ones and still you have not changed to better gaskets. first the heat goes and then the car overheats for no apparent reason. changed the water pump and thermostat. now the gasket. for the price you pay for this car it should not have to cost me another 800 to 1200 more for a part you can fix with changing your product you use. i have own gmc products for over 20 years and this is my first complaint about them. just because i am having problems with my impala will not keep me from telling people that gmc has good cars. just wish this problem will fixed for future owners. would hate to be called a liar. one of our gmc's is a 78 sierra classic which was bought brand new in 77. *tr

After listening to a radio report on npr describing the problem with gm ignition switch recalls i decided to test my own car for related problems. as i pulled into my driveway i tapped on the key while it was in the ignition and the key switched from on to acc mode. this resulted in my car engine shutting off, power steering loss, assisted brake malfunction, battery warning light, and the airbag light came on. all of these problems happened exactly as the radio report said they would with a faulty ignition switch. over the last 3 years my brother in-law and i have been having various problems with our ignitions and now i believe all these problems may be caused by the defect which gm has recently reported. i have contacted the gm recall hotline and reported my car model and vin. they informed me that there is nothing they can do since they have not received enough reports linked to the impala. i would appreciate the recall list being expanded to include the impala if possible. at least the years of 2003 and 2004. *tr
Unsure if my 04 impala is affected in the takata recall because i haven't received notice.have recently had extensive repairs completed by a certified mechanic. and the abs, trac, check and brake lights won't go off. the security light continues to come on and disables the car not allowing it to start. causing me the be stranded unannounced and at any random time. steering wheel tightens and loosens at random times. after researching past recalls before my ownership i am unsure if my car has had the recall issues addressed. my car has some type of manufacturer computer glitch but gmc doesn't want to own up to it. and i've kept all receipts on repairs i've covered. these issues have been on going since the estimated date entered below.
My vehicle recently started having issues with overheating. as soon as it would warm up the gauge would go the whole way past the hottest possible temp on the dash. my hot coolant temp light would come on and then i would have to pull over and turn the car off to let it cool. i took it to a mechanic who said that i would have to replace the head gaskets and intake gaskets. he researched it and said that he found that impalas from 20003-2007 had problems with the engines because of an additive that was put in the engine. i paid him over 1000 dollars to fix the issue because before i took it to him i took it to a different mechanic who said it was the radiator so i got that fixed which cost me close to 500 dollars. so even after i got both of these problems fixed my car still overheats. *tr
My mechanic has been doing a lot of work on this car for the past month trying to figure out why my car completely powers off if i am driving on the road. after taking the diagnostic test again for the 3rd time it says we need two 02 sensors replaced and a new mass airflow sensor. once we turned the key into the ignition the car began to smoke and burst into flames we pulled the keys out of the ignition and the fire department arrived and tried to put the fire out but gas leaked out and made a huge fire. the car tried to start up and we did not have the keys in the car the fire department had to cut my car battery out because it would not go out. fortunately my fiance' and i made it out of the car alive. with all of the money i have been putting into this car to have it fixed and it catches on fire this makes me not want to ever purchase another chevy car in my life and i am only 22 years old. *tr
I was driving my 2004 impala when i hit a pot hole. i tried to turn and hit the brakes and nothing worked. i slammed on my emergency brake and after a while i realized the car had shut off completely. a month later my boyfriend had the same experience driving it. *tr
