I drove my car to work and it cranked fine. I got in it to go home and it wouldn't start. I replaced the battery and it still is happening. Some time it cranks and sometimes it doesn't. I just wish someone would help me figure this out.
The heat on the driver side of my car will not come on but the passenger side blows like a champ. I took it to the chevy dealership and they said the door that flows cold and hot air is stuck on cool air and since its a dual air vehicle one side is blowing hot the other cold. I am very surprised this is not a recall since there are over 1,000 complaints on this one part please do something about this; I've been a long time chevy owner and I understand that things happen after driving but this is crealy not a driver induced problem. Thank you from a vauled customer.
The speedometer has gone haywire. You cannot tell how fast you are going. The rpm gauge is going haywire as well. It jumps all over the place. Took the car to the dealership but wouldnt you know it the warranty expired with no written notice from warranty company. The clusters are the root of all the problems and Chevrolet needs to recall to repair the issues described. Another alarming problem with the 2005 chevy Impala I own is what is called the passlock protection. It also does not work at times and I had to find out ways to bypass the passlock on youtube. This could turn into a dangerous situation if you need to start you car in an emergency and you cant because the passlock will not let you turn on the car. Sometimes you have to wait ten minutes with the key in a certain position. That is totally not acceptable.
2005 Chevrolet Impala. Unit #1 was westbound on the ohio turnpike. The left front tire blew out causing the unit to loose control. Unit #1 veered off the side of the roadway and struck the median wall.
Instrument cluster panel fails off and on for awhile and then completely quits, causing you not to know your speed or the health of your vehicle. I have seen online way too many complaints of this particular problem for there not to be a recall. The instrument cluster panel needs replaced.
My speedometer gauge doesn't work it will get stuck on 20 mph constantly it never reads the correct speed but my other gauges work fine. My transmission shifts/slips harder than it should from 1st into 2ed and 2ed into 3rd. My headlights flicker when I push on my window controls to roll my windows up or down. The heat only blows on the passenger side of my car including on the defrost for the front windows and the rear window.
My speedometer went out on my 2005 chevy Impala. It happened about 3 months ago. I just had the inspection done and had to have a new cluster put in. My total cost was $500. After searching the internet for complaints, I noticed that there were alot of them regarding the cluster to stop working in the 2005 Impala. For being only 6 years old, this should not be happening.
2005 chevy Impala: rough shifting, lost some hp, speedometer isnt wokring, engine leaking oil.
The speedometer quit working in my 2005 chev Impala on or about oct. 10, 2010. This is a big concern since we can not afford to have this repaired & we don't know how fast we are going.
The only event leading to the failure was a loud sound coming from the rear left side of the vehicle. The failure involved a pull to the left and excessive heat being generated from the back left tire. The component that failed ended up being the wheel bearing. I had a mechanic replace it and also kept the old part. The old bearing was scorched (the mechanic showed me) and warped. The bearing could have locked up had it not been replaced, resulting in an accident.
Transmission shifts change hard, makes shudder noise, will speed up and slow down on its own. Speedometer goes up and down.
