My car started to over heat in the middle of winter in minnesota. There was plenty of coolant in the reservoirs. While the vehicle was idling there was a noise and once I started to move again the car began to jerk then the check engine light came on while attempting to accelerate. Then a few weeks later the gas gauge began showing the incorrect about of gas levels in my vehicle.
I w also as driving into a shopping plaza and my steering wheel locked and my car steered across the entrance after a couple of minutes it started back up. I am so nervous because the steering wheel locked,also every now and then it just wont start up and then all of a sudden it will. The gas gauge doesn't work either so you cant judge the gas never received any recall notices I have a 2000 chevy Impala.
The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that she traveled for five minutes in the vehicle and upon returning to her residence, she observed smoke coming from under the hood. Within a few minutes, the vehicle was engulfed in flames. A fire report was filed. The contact confirmed that there were no prior warnings that indicated a potential fire. The contact was able to locate three recalls for her year, make and model that could potentially cause a fire (NHTSA campaign id numbers 04v090000, 01v136000 and 04v090000). The manufacturer took possession of the vehicle April 2009 and has yet to communicate the outcome to the contact. The manufacturer would not confirm if any of the recalls applied specifically to VIN. The failure mileage was 124,000 and the current mileage was 124,000.
For almost a year now, my fuel indicator fluctuates. Only time it reads accurately is when it is full, or almost empty. A coworker who also owns an Impala has said that he just started experiencing the same problem.
Car won't start, takes quite a few tries. Doesn't always happen, also will just stall. Fuel pressure regulator was replace, but has happened since, also have replaced throttle out of warranty.
Vehicle had a slight intermittent problem with cutting off when it was cold outside. Dealer said it could be there wasn't enough oxygen getting into the fuel. Also, something seemed to be wrong with suspension that it rocked back & forth when you applying brakes & starting to go up a hill. Dealer & GMC are both saying that the something is wrong with the suspension torsion bar.
