I have a 2004 Impala and I'm noticing that the transmission is going out in it I have been told that the transmission mess up a whole lot in these type of cars why is that and why did y'all not fix the problem.

Takata recall key falls out while I am driving speedometer gas gauge and comtrol panel not working car jumps in reverse.

My car will no longer move when placed in drive or in any of the lower gears. It moves fine in reverse. The repair facility told me it was the I out drum. The only way to replace it is with a new drum that has updated specifications. There has been problems with the current input drum that has resulted in the need for an I put drum with updated specs. If there is problems with the original drum should not a recall be issued?.

2004 Chevrolet Impala. Customer received repairs due to recall and is requesting repairs. The consumer stated the transmission had to be replaced, because the vehicle would to hesitate and then jerk. Pieces of metal were discovered in the transmission pan indicating an internal fault. Also, the ignition and cylinder were replaced.

When coming to a almost stop and u start to take off its like the car isn't in gear the after the rpms go up up it jumps in gear spinning the tires. Then it will pause in between gears and make a thump when it goes in gear from 0-55. Gm needs to fix all these problems with these transmissions. We already paid for the transmissons when we all bought the cars from the dealers and some are not even getting half the miles I got before they have problems. I had cars I've never touch the trnsmission other than maintance and it out lasted the car! gm needs to fix these now. I just got this car and had it only a year and two months. I'm disabled I can't afford this repair! note: the car is in my mothers name yvonne harrington, 4630 winton rd,montour falls n. Y 14865.

Was turning left from stop when traction light came on also abs light and traction off switch light, now it happens in reverse and sometimes when I start the car. It makes a growling sound,if I shut off the car and restart it all the lights go out.

First at buying my chevy Impala it had 115,000mi on it already but desperately needed a car being a single mother. After having the car a little over a month the fuel injectors blew where my car would no longer start. Got it fixed. Next I had to keep putting power steering fluid in (once every week) went to a mechanic, he said my power steering is going to eventually go. . Next 2 months after that my car caught on fire through the lighter. Electrical. Called the fire dept. They had to cut the wires and pull the fuse. 2 months after that, my transmission blew. Just like that. I was driving on the high way and approached an accident. After coming to a complete stop tried to pick speed back up and it wouldn't go anymore than 15 mph. I pulled off to a rest area, sat there for 30mins. Reversed out of the parking lot, put it in drive, it wouldn't budge. . . Not to mention a month after buying the car. The turn signals,, brake lights, cruise control, flashers all worked when they wanted too and not when I needed it too. Came close to a few people running in the back of me due to back lights not working. . And my temp, gauge, speedometer and gas gauge do not work. Id be in park with a full tank of gas, it says im going 80mph and gas is empty. . Hate this car with a passion. . Very dangerous car. . . Would never recommend this car to anyone. . . .

Traction control tries to kick when braking. Brakes act as though they are pushing back against my foot pressure at this time. Traction control makes a grinding noise. Vehicle has trouble stopping. Traction control shuts off, warning light to service traction control comes on, abs shuts off and light comes on, and red "brakes" light turns on. Vehicle drives and brakes just fine after that for the remainder of the drive. On occasion these events happen when going over a railroad tracks or other similar bumps and brakes are not involved.

There is a little vibration. When I accelerate and begin to pick up speed it hesitates. When going from 1st into 2nd gear the car shifts hard and even into third gear. I took the car to get a transmission service thinking it would help, but it didn't. Its still doing the same thing. I have been asking around to see what the problem could be and everyone is saying that its hard to diagnose the problem because it could be s numerous amount of things wrong. Most of the mechanics I spoke to they told me that it would be somewhere around $1800 to get another transmission and that might not even fix the problem. I have noticed that I'm not the only person with this car that's having this issue. I would hate to be somewhere and the car just quit on me in the middle of nowhere. This car has been very reliable to me up until this year. I would love to keep the car but I don't want to continue wasting money getting parts fixed on it and its not going to solve the problem.

At random times it will not start ,it has done this ever since we bought it. Its a 2004 Chevrolet Impala . At random times the signal lights will not work the security light comes on it and stays maybe a day maybe 2. At times the transmission jumps so bad we have to pull it over and turn it off wait a few minutes then turn the car back on the we can proceed to drive it. It may crank then we stop and turn the car off and go back to it and it will not crank . We have had to wait anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour randomly moving the trying to get it to start. We have had it back and forth to the Chevrolet dealer off and on ever since we've had the car they say they cannot do anything about it if they cannot get it to do it . I have almost gotten ran over several times because of it acting up. Its got 100,000 miles on it now. So we have to deal with it and hope for the best.
