Transmission Not Go Into Gear problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Impala

Transmission failure lost 4th gear overdrive while cruising on the highway. Vehicles rpms rev like car is in neutral. Causing me to stop on the shoulder of the interstate with passing traffic at 75 mph.

I was driving my 2006 Impala car as a daily driving car. Drove great, no shifting issues or transmission slipping. Then all of a sudden I started the car up one morning and car did not move. It feels like the transmission is engaging, but doesn't move. Iit acts like car is not in any drive gear even after putting car into a gear, like reverse or drive.

I was stopped at a stoplight and tried to accelerate only to find out I was not moving much. I determined there was another issue with the transmission not shifting into gear. The light turned green and I was almost rear ended in a multiple vehicle accident until I slowly down shifted out of drive to 1st gear. I was finally able to up shift through 1st, 2nd, 3rd gears up to road speed and then shift into drive. This has been a regular occurrence since this time. I have issues with hard shifting when I back out of my driveway, from a full stop and even when the transmission tries to shift up when I am driving in town or highway speeds. This creates a very dangerous situation for me and other drivers. Please research this issue and bring this to the attention of general motors. I think for as many impacted cars as are on the road there should be a safety recall issued. I don't think there needs to be deaths with people driving these cars before the manufacturer should make design changes. When I purchased this car I thought it would be safe and have just normal wear and tear issues. This has not been the case with my 2006 Chevrolet Impala. I have had numerous issues crop up that I see other car owners have endured as well from the online posts about said such issues. I am happy for youtube and others that had gone through the same issue. At least I was able to figure out how to resolve some issues when the local gm dealership garage and mechanics could not isolate and trouble shoot my issues. As I report yet another issue today I received a recall notice about the ignition today.

Traffic light turned green, attempted to accelerate, no forward movement. The rpms would go up, but the car would not move in any gear including reverse. Called onstar and they informed me that the transmission had failed. This is a '06 Chevrolet Impala ss with 72,000 miles driven. I had to pay for a 3k transmission to replaced the failed one. I was informed after the failure that this is an extremely common problem with the chevy ls4 engine and this transmission. Gm is well aware of these transmission failures, but refuses to recall them.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the key failed to remain in the ignition. Once the vehicle was started, the transmission failed to switch gears. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the ignition failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v355000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
