Wiring problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Impala

Fuel system; code p0230. Cam/crankshaft; solenoid circuit in bank 1 code p0010. Radio wiring; radio is smoking all the time bad ground wire or short in wires. My vehical stopped while I was in drive motion going approximately 45 mph. No injuries, and no fatalities but my Impala stopped running and have not been able to start it since. In addition no one had got hurt, I was in open road. I have not had my the vehical serviced or diagnosed by a service center. Due to a no crank/no start condition. It will not move. Prior to the failure, we had the mil on the dash say power engine reduced. That's when at high speed on freeways or extensive driving patterns.

Trying to put car in gear its stuck in park all because of wiring near the bottom of the gear shut the wiring is weak and breaks real easy whitch is a safety hazzard because then you can be stuck somewhere. This has happend on multiple occasions to me and others I think it needs to be recalled and thicker wires.

Rear defroster wiring under front passenger door had smoked and small fire. Car was in motion on a city street. Was just pulling into my driveway so I pulled of fuse box cover to discover it. Wires melted. Had no fuse in there. Burned out quickly.

Original owner of vehicle. Noticed sometime in August of 2013 that the rear window defogger wasn't working. Checked fuse, relay, grid connections and found incomplete circuit. Traced open circuit to a wiring harness connector behind passenger side kick panel under glove box. Found that rear window defogger wire (purple) was burned and insulation was melted. Separated the wiring harness connector to find that specific connector for this wire inside connector was also burned and melted on both sides of the connector. Concerned about fire hazard.

My fiance was driving my car on his way to pick my children up from their grandmothers and smelled something burning. As he was trying to find a place to pull over smoke came into the vehicle near his feet and all of a sudden the car was on fire. He pulled over into a restaurant parking lot but by then the electric was out in the car so the doors were locked and he wasn't able to open the door. Good thing he had the windows down prior to the fire because that was his only escape. One of the employees brought out a fire extinguisher and tried to put it out with no luck. The fire department arrived and finally was able to put the fire out. It was determined that the fire was in the area of the fuse panel and wiring harness. My car is a total loss after just paying it off just two weeks ago! heartbreaking. I've been doing my research and was surprised to find that I'm not the only person that this had happened to. This is a safety concern and it needs to be addressed! I'm just thankful that my children were not in the car when this happened because the worst could have happened all because no one wants to do a recall! thank god there were no fatalities but who's to say the next person this happens to will be so lucky? ## VIN passed ## Chevrolet Impala 2006 ##.
