I took my 2003 chevy Impala, v6 2. 4 l, to a jiffylube for a standard oil change. There they informed me that I had a coolant leak, and they topped-off my antifreeze for only $4. 00. Since repairs aren't affordable at the moment, I continued to drive my Impala to school and work only. I was on my way to class early one afternoon, about a week after my oil change and my engine was over heating and engine coolant was completely gone. Luckily I was only 2 miles from my home and had a friend run some antifreeze and water to my break-down location. I put enough antifreeze and water into the radiator to get me home, where my car will sit until repaired. It is to my understanding that all 2003 v6 2. 4 l Impalas have this problem. If that is the case, why hasn't gm recalled this vehicle for proper repairs? an investigation into this matter would be greatly appreciated from a struggling american that lives in a region of the country where public transportation is obsolete and a motorized vehicle is a necessity.

Leaking head gasket causing engine cooling system problems.

I own Chevrolet Impala which is less than 3 years old. The coolant is supposed to last 100,000 miles or more. But the system has problems and it leaks. The car gets overheated and presents a fire hazard.

I own a 2003 Impala I was very pleased with my vehicle,even though I have had to have my rotors and brakes fixed twice still pleased overall. However, about a month ago I took my car in for a normal oil change after returning home, I noticed I didn't have any anti-freeze in my car. I called a spoke to a service tech he informed me that I probably had a leak somewhere. I brought it in he informed me there was a hair line crack in my gasket and I needed a new water pump. The cost to repair it would be over one thousand dollars. What I cannot understand why did my low coolant indicator light come on. Why did I have to discover this problem on my own? after reviewing other complaints I find I am not alone with having a coolant concern. I feel that this should be looked into more carefully. It is certainly a problem with the coolant system in the 2003 Impala and this failure should not be at the expense of the consumer.
