1 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2013

2006 Chevrolet Impala. Consumer writes in regards to transmission problems. The consumer stated the transmission was slipping. She explained to the dealer, there was a recurring problem with the transmission. Each time, the consumer went to the dealer, she was informed they could not recreate the problem, and therefore no problem existed. Besides the transmission problem, there was a horrible ratcheting machine-gun type noise coming from behind the dash, when she changed the vent position. The loud noise lasted for about a minute and was almost ear-piercing. Also, the engine mount broke, the water pump, steering and tie rods failed, the engine burned excessive amount of oil, and the engine low oil light illuminated. The windows made a screeching sound, the sunroof would drag, the plastic headlight covered were fogged and faded. The tire pressure monitoring light was constantly on. On April 24, 2013. The consumer took the vehicle to an independent transmission shop to have them assess the same transmission slipping problem, she had been experiencing for seven years. They dropped the transmission pan, and they found fine metal, pieces of aluminum and clutch material in the pan.

3 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2007

My car is in the shop today because of the tire monitor system. This is the fifth time that it has been in the shop for this problem. Around late January I had it in the shop for a rust spot close to the sun roof. Also someone who was looking at my car told me it had swirl marks on it because it apparently had been buffed before I purchased my 2006 Impala ss, in June of 2006.

4 Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2007

In January 2007 I purchased a 2006 chevy Impala and approximately 6 months later I had my first problem with the car. First problem: "service tire monitor system" (7/07) I took the car to the dealership and the sensors were replaced for free in two of the tires. I have since experienced this same problem over and over again. I did not have this fixed at all in 2008 because the dealership wants to charge me for the replacement of the sensors. I just let the monitor continue to blink on and off. I had it replaced in 4/09 due to other standard replacements. Second problem: heating (found problem 10/07) to get heat in the car your foot must be on the peddle and the car must be moving. The moment you take your foot off the peddle to press the brake, the heater goes out and the air turns cold. This problem was fixed in 4/09, when the other replacement parts were fixed. Third problem: on and off jerking (9/07) if you are at a stop light and it turns green. You press on the gas tank but the car does not go anywhere for a moment. Then it jerks and takes off. It seems like there is a delay in the thinking process like the car is not aware it should go when you press the gas. In 4/09 I addressed this problem with the dealership but nothing could be found wrong with the car and of course it did not happen when they took it for a test drive.
