Automatic Transmission problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Impala

Transmission replaced for the 3rd time with 140009 miles on 2006 Impala ss.

Car started running sluggish more and more until the transmission died and needs a rebuild. Taken to a shop to get it rebuilt.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated the vehicle seemed to hesitate randomly when accelerating from a stop light. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the problem generated from the transmission and referred to it as a "phantom shift". The dealer stated they would have to pull the transmission apart to make the repair. The failure mileage was 75,000 and the current mileage 90,000.

My 2006 chevy Impala ss was recalled for a power steering oil line leak. When it was on the lift, it was discovered that the oil line on the transmission also leaked. The line leaked where the rubber line was crimped onto a metal line. The dealer stated that they had replaced several of these. It was not covered by warranty. Since there was no oil dripping onto my concrete driveway, I assume that it leaks under pressure. This is a defective part.

I have a 2006 chevy Impala and there seems to be a problem with the transmission. I have taken the car to the dealer several time and have aven had the transmission flushed but am still having the car jerk off at a stop light. The dealer can never find a problem and it seems to be getting worse. I am part of an Chevrolet family and we have a total of 8 Impala and we all seem to be experiencing the same problem. Also the power steering belts and pulley always make a hissing sond when the eteering wheel is turned and have had this looked at and have had the hose replace several times only to have the problem to reappear. Is there a recall on these issues. Having to pay out of pocket for these things now as my car is out of warranty now.

The transmission reverse gear was defective, the transmission also had a delayed engagement. The windshield was cracked, the left front door was out of alignment. One of the tire was loosing air.

I am a police officer and have had several occasions while on traffic stops, that my assigned 2006 Impala has rolled backwards after I had gotten out of the car to approach a traffic violator; I had to jump back in and put it back in park. . On 10/ 04/07 this car almost cost me my life. I blocked an entrance ramp and when I got out of the car I stood by the open driver door. The car jumped into gear and backed over me. I was drug backwards and could not free myselfas I was being helplessly dragged under my car. When the car went into the median it dug my body into the dirt. I was able to roll from underneath the car. I then jumped back in and stopped the car from crossing the expressway. I have been on the streets as a beat officer for over 21 years and have never had anything like this happen. I spoke with another officer and he also has had the same problem while on traffic stops. I was advised by fleet management that there has been one other incident reported. My patrol car was towed on oct 8 and later I was advised by fleet management that gm reps looked at the car and found nothing wrong. Fleet management personnel refuse to give me any information as for a contact person with gm. Note -as of 10/19/07 they still have the car under lock and key. I sustained road rash, bruising, cervical strain, and a possible fracture in my back. I have contacted my local fraternal order of police president and he has been gathering information as to several other officers that have had their assigned 2006 Impala go out of gear and strike objects. In addition they had been charged with the accidents and points assessed. Per my fop president an investigation is being done to remove those officers points and diciplinary action per my unfortunate incident. My concern now is for the safety of the citizens on a national level, while these chevy Impalas are being used for public safety.

The ls4 v8 engine is rated by gm at 323 lb-ft of torque. Allegedly, the documents from gm for the transaxle mated to this motor is only rated for 280 lb-ft of engine torque; 43 lb-ft of torque lower than the output of the engine. This could possibly leave a vehicle equipped with this motor and transaxle combination with a high failure rate and a possible safety hazard while in traffic. . Read more...
