My car has a problem with the transmission slipping causing at times violent jolts for all 3 gears. I also have a seal that was not put in correctly causing water to fill up under the passenger side floor and causing electrical problem's as well as taking out the sound of my radio.
Every time it rains my entire vehicle floor is flooded. My radio has stopped working and my dashboard lights flicker. I have been researching and there are several models with this problem from 2002 to 2005. This happens often and can eventually lead to electrical problems. I pay a lot if money for this vehicle and still have a ways to go before I am done paying for it. I have 3 children that depend in thus car along with myself if there are so many people with this problem this is definitely a defect and should be recalled.
I have a 2003 Chevrolet Impala, I called the customer care line and my car is not on the ignition switch recall list. I explained to the lady that all of my lights will go off whenever I go over speed bumps including speedometer and radio. When attempting to start my car I have to jiggle the key for several minutes before it will turn and I do not have any key rings with my car key. The lady clearly stated that my car is having the ignition switch issues, but not being on the recall list I would have to take my car to the dealership and pay for this out of pocket. I do not understand why my specific VIN was not on the recall list and why I would have to pay for this when I was told by a contact at gm that my car has the issue. I just want this fixed. I have had this car for a year now and it has given me nothing but issues. I can't see my speed when I drive at night which I could get a ticket for and is dangerous. Who can I contact to be added to the recall list?.
2003 Chevrolet Impala has problems with radio equipment. The cd would not eject. The consumer was told the radio was linked to other safety features on the vehicle and if a repair attempt was made by anyone other than gm it may permanently disable the features.
Radio has very bad reception. Have taken care to dealership and they have replaced new radio with reconditioned radios twice. First replacement radio, display did not work properly. Second replacement radio was not calibrated properly when installed and when taken back to the dealership and re-calibrated, had the same problem with the display as replacement radio number one. I now supposedly need a new dimmer switch. (am taking to another dealership in the hopes that they can repair the problem) the fog lights constantly have excessive condensation. Am told by the dealership and gm that this is normal however I have had several people tell me this is not normal. Have not observed this type of condensation on any other vehicle's fog lights. Gm will not repair or replace unless there is standing water. Gm refused claim. There is an extremely loud popping and cracking noise from the dash. Temp outside does not seem to matter. Am told by the dealership that they are aware of the problem but have no fix. The cracking noise is very distracting when driving. It comes suddenly and with no warning and sounds like something hard striking the windshield.
