Failure Date: 04/27/2007

Air conditioner only worked on first setting. Mechanic told me that the door that controls where the air went was not working and would cost $500 to $600 for repairs. Seemed to work fine with heat, but not with air. Mechanic stated the door was a small plastic piece, but he would have to remove the entire dashboard to get to it. No discernible reason for this malfunction.

10 Air Conditioner problem of the 2000 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 02/01/2002

There are two: one: a/c "overflow catch trap" collects water and does not drain, causing moldy smell and requires cleaning out of "trap" two: front end brakes "wobble" - took in 3 times under warranty to have fixed and once had to pay at 12k miles to have to have rotors replaced. Otherwise replied to as "normal". Still wobbles (I would not describe as the expected "pulsing") - never completely satisfied at any time reported. Now of warranty (of course) but who has time to keep taking the car back in?.
