general problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Impala

Speed gage is not working correctly. It will work and stop working in rotation. When car in not in movement, it sometimes shows vehicle is going a speed of 60 to 120 miles per hour. When in motion the gage moves from random speed to speed. Sometimes at estimated speed of 60 miles per hour the gage is showing 5 miles per hour or maybe 105 miles per hour.

Had to recently replace fuel ejection and other part for fuel leaking and fumes overcoming in car. Now the speedometer, fuel and tack gauge stopped working. Gm has not recalled this on the Impala and they are aware this is a problem but will not take responsibility. These issues have been a serious safety hazard for my daughter and cannot drive the car. Every chevy dealership and parts stores think there is a recall until they look it up. Thats how much they are aware of the issues. Once again ill have to pay approx. 300. 00 just for the part. Dorman oe solutions instrument cluster. How can we stop gm from getting away with this! we need help!.

Car idles out of control will not kick down unless u shut car off an then u half to start it two or three times be for it will drop idle too normal. Has scared us because there's no control when this happens.

When taking off from a stop, the car jerked instead of taking off smoothly. This seemed to happen at low speeds when car is shifting from one gear to another even though it has an automatic transmission. The safety risk here is that acceleration is not effected and a car could potentially hit you from behind especially at a stop sign/light.

While driving my children to school, my steering wheel locked up, my gas pedal would not accelerate, and my brake pedal locked up, brought to my local dealership they replaced the ignition and the problem is still occurring.

When I first got the car I noticed that while driving it would sound like it wanted to cut off and eventually it did every time I came to a complete stop. Eventually it would not start at all. Had to get the fuel regulator pump changed twice. Then my car was claiming to be overheating so I changed the thermostat, temperature sensor and fan relays. But my temperature gauge is reading out of whack saying my car is overheating when its not. A couple months later my speedometer just started acting up as well . It keep moving up all around and sometimes may stay on zero. Yesterday it made a complete 360 and is stuck it at the bottom. A coworker was jus telling me about her chevy truck speedometer problems last week and literally within a weeks time the exact thing happens to me with no warning. There must need to be a recall if I don't even have to finish typing chevy Impala and speedometer problems automatically pops up!!!!.

2005 Chevrolet Impala. Consumer writes in regards to lack of recall on vehicle with bad sensor clusters. The consumer stated the speedometer was inoperative, due to a bad sensor cluster.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle and driving at night he noticed that the instrument panel failed to illuminate. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 180,000 and current mileage was 200,000. Ml.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Impala. While traveling 30 mph, the contact applied the brakes and noticed that the vehicle had began to accelerate abnormally. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired for the failure. The current and the failure mileages were 131,000.

Driving at approximately 60 mph on the freeway, the speedometer advanced to the bottom of the gauge, then stuck there. The only way I can reset it is to turn the ignition off and on, and sometimes that does not work.

From stop I would step on the gas, and the car would slam into gear. I have had to have the electrical cluster replaced $300, and the fuel control replaced (car always smelt like gas) now they think this slam is the tcc valve in the transmission which is anywhere from $600-$900. Also the steering knuckle makes a loud noise on sharp turns. Whats next? are any of these issues recalls?.

The gas gage works off and on and does read correctly from over full to not at all and every place inbetween. The speed odometer reads every where from correctly to 130 mph when you are driving at 50 mph and sometimes goes all the way around to it hits the stop. Other times the speed odometer says you are moving at 40 mph when you are stopped.

Instrument cluster failure, speedometer stopped at 55mph even when I stopped the car and shut it off. When I started the car and begin driving the speedometer was going up to 105 mph. I have no idea how fast the vechicle is going.

The speedometer just stopped working, the transmission shift hard but when you shut off the engine and start it back up it stops shifting hard, and the car stalls.

While driving horn sound weak and stopped working I had to take out fuse for the horn because it was just sounding off. Another important issue while driving at night low beam headlights will turn off while driving in the dark. This can cause a serious wreck especially if you are on the highway and could kill someone. Very dangerous situation. Same thing with the horn, someone can pull out in front of you and you cannot blow your horn.

Steering knuckle makes a popping noise sped odometer does not work temp gauge does not work cruse control ingages when ever it wants to if the switch is in the on position a herd that a lot of Chevrolets had recalls for these conditions ! are there any recalls for thes conditions on my car ?.

Our complaint is about gm's unwillingness to recall 2005 chevy Impala's for the speedometer instrument cluster (stepper motor) issue. Apparently, they've recalled the trucks but not the cars. That's totally unacceptable. I have to pay $500 to get this fixed and they are aware of the issue but, now my vehicle has over 70,000 miles which is also a problem-I don't understand why this would matter - broken is broken. Anything you can do to help to get this recalled with no mileage restrictions would be greatly appreciated.

My wife and two children were riding in our 2005 Chevrolet Impala and it suddenly started accelerating uncontrollably. My wife called 911 and told them that she couldn't get the car to stop and the brakes seemed to be locked. The car went uncontrollably for about 3/4 mile, and reached speeds over 90 mph. She ended up putting the car in neutral to get it to slow down even though the engine was still accelerating. We had it towed to a chevy dealer, but they didn't find anything wrong with it. If my wife wouldn't have thought to put the car in neutral, my entire family very possibly could have died. Very scary incident!!.

The speedometer on my daughter's 2005 Chevrolet stopped working at 50'000 mi. We called Chevrolet, but were told since the car was out of warranty we would have to pay for the repair. (350 dollars). I would like to know if there have been other complaints about this problem.

While driving at approximately 35 mph driver was coming to a stop and applied the brakes and vehicle lunged forward, and rear ended another vehicle. Driver pulled to the right of the vehicle, and the vehicle was continuing to go, and the engine revved. Vehicle finally stopped after hitting a tree. Also, the air bags deployed.
