On complaint websites,there are pages and pages of people complaining about the blend doors for heat and air,you have no control over the defrost or air oor heat,that is dangerous for anybody to drive and you can go up to car and badly touch car and it starts clicking and clicking and don't stop,Chevrolet refuses to fix problem that's their fault for using inferior parts ,that to me and a lot,a lot of people say Chevrolet and gm,don't give a damn about the safety of their vehicles or customers,so if this problem isn't addressed,I know you don't care but I'll never buy a Chevrolet again,and I've bought quite a few Chevrolet�s,but never been treated this way for their mistakes,the reason I know it's dangerous is because you can't control any functions of the heat air or defrost,my wife is disabled and for her to have to get out and wipe windshield off just to drive,and god help us if it rains,we have to pull over to clean windshield,if that's not dangerous then anybody that owns one of these cars.

May 2013 I purchased a 2012 Impala fully certified by the chevy dealer. On 9/25/2013 I was stopped on I-80 due to traffic. A woman traveling 53 mph slammed into me causing me to take out the next 3 cars. I filed an investigation with gm to review the vehicle information (which is how I know how fast she was traveling). The airbag light was on, but no airbags deployed, and the seat belt had restrained me only after I violently bounced off of the steering wheel. When this was reported to gm it was stated that there are three lines of defense in a vehicular accident #1 the body of your vehicle #2 your seat belt #3 airbag deployment. 2/3 lines of defense had failed me. Gm had no conclusion after the accident and I received the reports from the engineers. I was traveling fast enough into the car ahead of me for the airbags to have deployed, and the seat belt should have restrained me. Nearly a year later, I am greatful that one line of defense had prevented further injuries, but this is something that I will forever feel the negative impacts of. With recent news investigations into gm's faulty airbag deployment, clearly they can look beyond just the older models of Impalas.

Windows would not go back up soaking the inside of the doors. This is my wife's car and now she is afraid to drive it.
