When you start it the speed and rpm' s start jumping the coolant gadget waves at you then when you put it in reverse or drive it bumps when you driving you don't know how fast you going because of the gadget bouncing up and down to top it off its jumping the whole time you driving it.
Vehicle begin to jerk when accelerating. Took the vehicle to the dealership and was advised there was internal damage to the transmission. The dealership advised they are unaware of what caused the internal damage. This was repaired 9 months later while driving on the highway and the vehicle begin to flash a warning to turn off vehicle. Engine light came on as well. I took the vehicle to the dealership and was advised there is internal damage to the engine. Dealership advised they are unsure what caused this.
These Impalas are downshifting on gears 2/3 and when trying to accelerate it is not shifting as they should this is from multiple auto shops and Chevrolet dealerships in dearborn and detour michigan are aware and both are staying they are getting alor if complaints about this issue I am. Not one of those individuals who have 4000 just sitting around I am also not working due to covid I have only had this car 15 months when this issues started gm and Chevrolet need to do a recall to check and replace and provide loaner vehicles at their expense.
While driving my vehicle, the rpm goes to 4 or 5 while only attempting to do speed liming, it stalls and jerks as if someone is pulling on the vehicle as I try to accelerate. On the expressway, my vehicle struggles to hit 40mph - 60mph without it feeling forced and rpm at 5. It stalls to reverse sometimes and stalls to take off.
My vehicle only having 58,000 miles without notice or any warnings began to stall and would not go past 30 mph. Later I attempted to put vehicle in reverse and it had no reverse what so ever. All fluids and maintenance were up to date. After consulting with several mechanics it had been determined that the transmission was not good.
Was driving on the way to work in these lights came on don't know why but I just brought this car from the dealership not even more then 30 days in this comes on wtf.
On Friday, November 18, 2016 at approximately 5:20 a. M. I was parking my car in a center city parking garage. I was approximately 2 car lengths from the parking spot. I was backing my car into the spot. The car was stopped and I removed my safety belt and lowered the window. I put the car in reverse and depressed the accelerator to proceed into the lined parking spot. The car proceeded at a high rate of speed into a concrete wall. There were no obstructions and the accelerator was not fully depressed when this occurred. I immediately took my foot off of the accelerator and hit the brake but the brake did not respond since this all occurred in roughly in seconds and approximately 20 feet in length. Upon impact a smoke filled the cabin area. I hit my head against the headrest and slightly into the steering wheel. Another parking patron saw this all play out and came to my aid. It was a horrific incident. I am thankful and lucky to be alive. It was as if the car acted on it's own. After putting the car in park all of the lights in the car and the flasher were on. Onstar notified me to ask if I was ok. I explained to her what had happened. After two hours no one came to my aid despite being told someone was dispatched. The battery went dead and it was at that time I contacted aaa to have the car towed out of the garage. It is currently in "brendan's collision, ltd, 210 w. Hillcrest avenue, havertown, PA. I contacted gm immediately after the accident and they took a report. The car was purchased in July 2016 and had 3021 miles on it. It was surreal and I was fully aware of what was happening during this whole ordeal.
I was stopped at the top of the hill on a private road. When I took my foot off the brake and pressed the accelerator, nothing happened. The car began to roll backwards and I pressed down on the brake. The brake was very weak and it took 50-60 feet and all of my pressure on the brake pedal to bring the car to a stop. After I stopped, I realized that the engine had turned off and the ignition was int he off position. I rotated the key in the ignition back to the start position to start the engine. I continued back up the hill normally after the engine was started. Luckily, there were no cars behind me on the hill or they would've been hit.
