Ignition Switch problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Impala

When I am driving my vehicle the gear shift the stick on it's own. I hear a pop sound when it happens. This happens when I am in motion and driving the car. . I have already taken my car in for a recall last year to replace a ignition switch. It has been happening for a few weeks and I thought it was normal,until I was in traffic and it moved on it's own. Also last year I had to have the fuel injector replaced on my car. It had been leaking gas for a while. The dealership told me I would have to pay to have it fixed. There weren't any recalls during the time.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the ignition key failed to release from the ignition switch. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer verified that the vehicle was affected by NHTSA campaign number: 14v400000 (electrical system); however, the recall did not cover the ignition switch and cylinder. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 200,000.

When you insert the key into the ignition switch it won't turn over and start vehicle also started showing security light that won't turn off.

2005 Chevrolet Impala consumer is concerned about air bags after hitting a deer and they did not deploy and the security light came on. The dealer informed the consumer, the ignition switch and cylinder needed to be replaced. The consumer then went to a repair shop, to have the work done. A short time later, the air bag light illuminated.

A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v400000(electrical system). The failure mileage was 60,000.

I recently purchased a 2005 Impala in April of 2014. There was no check light engine on for about a week, but the light did come on and also with the airbags light. When braking both lights will disappear. At times of accelerating, the lights will appear. Also, I have a faulty ignition switch that is affecting my headlights, radio, interior lights, and my key will barely turn.

Seems a lot of 2000-2005 Impalas are experiencing the same issues as I am with the dash instrument panel and possible issues with the passlock system. Sometimes I have to wait 10-15 minutes to crank my car when it wont start or do the lock and unlock trick to reset the passlock system. Ironically enough havent had issues with the ignition switch which now has an active recall. Instrument panel speedometer stuck on 120 mph while in stop position. . . Almost got a ticket over memorial day weekend because I was speeding. . . Showed the officer my speedometer that was sitting on 90 mph at the time and he gave me a warning and told me to get that fixed.

Problems before gm recall 14350/campaign id 14v400. Problem 1 the ignition switch continued to still engage after vehicle was started and key was in the run position. Problem 2 after turning the key to stop engine would continue to run until you jiggled the key in the ignition switch. Problem 3 hitting a pot hole at 45 mph shut the car off lucky my quick reaction was put it into neutral and restarted the car. September 2014 received the safety recall followed the instructions as claimed which made me laugh cause the only thing I had on the key ring was the key and entry remote. November 2014 recall was done with a plastic insert on the key to keep the weight center mass on the key. As of this day March 2015 I still have all 3 problems I stated earlier, that recall has not fixed the under lining problem of a defective ignition switch its not the key its the switch itself because the car still does all the problems I mentioned in the beginning, I find this a cheap and scary no fix but to satisfy anyone who thinks this was a fix but in reality will cause more harm. The switch needs replaced.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated the ignition failed to start until after numerous attempts. The failure recurred seven times. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who stated that the ignition switch would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The failure mileage was unavailable. Updated 8/19/cn.

Intermittent no crank, no start. Problem is known problem with ignition switch, tumbler, and defective "passlock system". Dealers charge excessive proces for repairs that may or may not actually fix the problem. It seems to be a bad design issue, and is related to the defective ignition recalls. There is a fairly extensive complaint list, and the mfr certainly has data reflecting that the problem covers multi model and years of gm cars and trucks.

I'm not sure what this would be classified under but here's the description. The gauges go haywire, I. E. The speedometer just keeps going up even if you slow down - until it goes almost all the way around again. It normally stops at the bottom like at the 200 degree position if on a 360 degree view. This has been happening on my car since around the 30k mileage. Starting just last week [March 2012], now the temperature gauge is starting to do the same thing. It started running "hot", [but not really] so I immediately shut down my car, called my mechanic, etc. The temp gauge also went all the way around and sometimes stays there, sometimes it comes back around to normal. Upon restarting the car, the temp gauge would start coming back down in segments - turning the ignition switch on/off would make the gauges come back down to normal in notches or spaced increments. Now I'm running my car without knowing the proper speed and also not sure if my car is really overheating or not.

The passlock sensor went bad at 74000 miles. I could not start my car for up to a 1/2 hour. This happened several times. I had the pass lock sensor replaced at a cost of approximately $600. Shortly after the replacement the speedometer became stuck at 60 mph. I discovered when I turned my key in the ignition the needle on the speedometer would drop. If I turned the key several times it would reset itself. I do not want to do this because I fear it will wear out the ignition switch. Then the gas gauge stopped working. The needle gets stuck far beyond the full or empty line and will not budge unless I do ignition switch thing. I have to use my trip meter and guess how much fuel I have left. The "needs fuel" light is still working so far. Then the temperature gauge stopped working and now the fan motor sensor is also going bad on the a/c unit. These issues should be part of a recall. I cannot afford to keep fixing this vehicle. As I understand it these problems are part of the cluster gauge system and there have been many complaints about it.

Key would not turn in the ignition.
