I purchased my 2006 Impala ss brand new in 2006. I've been a loyal gm customer my whole life. At 99,000 started experiencing transmission issues, slipping,and hard shifting. . . At 101,000 miles I was driving down the highway and my transmission stopped working. I refinanced my car to rebuild the transmission for $2,200 . After the rebuild transmission was working ok. Then at 122,000 miles it stopped working again. . . It was snowing and I was stranded in the turn lane of a road with a speed limit of 55mph. . . I turned off my car let the engine cool down and back on at least 20 times. . . My car moved about 200 feet each time. . . An hour later I got back to my house that was 5miles from the failure. I cant afford to fix it now and I am still paying for the car. Its been sitting in my yard for 10 months. This issue is very dangerous and needs to be resolved. I also received a recall for my power steering hose, got it fixed and the brackets came loose from my frame causing my steering to get very hard. I pulled over and checked my power steering fluid at walmart and it was empty. I filled it and everything was working. The next morning I had no power steering again. . . My hose had rubbed on my frame making a hole. I went to the store and bought more power steering fluid but after I put it in my steering was making a loud sound and didn't turn well. I think it was damaged due to the leak. I too have a loud clicking sound coming from my dashboard when I turn on my car. I was told by the dealership it was the vent flap motor . . . $750 dollars to repair. . . Part is only $65 the rest is labor. . . Also when I first bought my car I had to get all 4door windows replaced (under warranty) due to improper window guide adjustment. And my automatic trunk release works off and on, my keyless entry only works 5 feet from my car with new batteries,and all tire pressure sens. Went bad$100 each help.
