My car has worked fine scince I bought it with no check engine codes. I pulled into parking space and put car in park,all of a sudden it stalled out and will not crank anymore but has power. Key will not come out of ignition and battery will not shut off. The ignition switch is a very common problem with Impalas and is very dangerous. It locks people out of there cars,gets stuck in gears,wont let key release,wont start,sets off anti theft signal which cuts power to door locks,trunk,starter,fuelpump,and more. I have read hundreds of forums of this problem with chevy Impala that has been going on for years without the problem being fixed. Elderly women breaking down on highway or car just shutting off and not restarting. It is soooooo common with chevy that they can diagnose the problem just over the phone. This is very unacceptable and has to be dealt with. Please recall this problem.
Vehicle will not start. All electrical things work, the lights, dashboard, etc. . But there is no power to starter. This vehicle has 150000 miles on it and has had 6 new batteries installed. The no start issue was believed to be occurring after car was brought through car wash during very cold temps outside, but this is not the issue now. Now it starts sometimes and will not start at other times.
