Engine Belts And Pulleys Problems of Chevrolet Impala

I crashed heading down a hill . I crashed into a telephone pole after my car suddenly revved up,gained speed as I headed towards a telephone pole ,with loss of power steering ,brakes because my car quit after gaining speed due to the rpms amping up on their own and going down a hill. When I hit the pole,the telephone lines snapped and I was trapped in the car because they landed on my driver window and were shooting out sparks as if they were roman candles and a fire started on the right side of my car in some pine straw. When the firemen was able to get me out of the car he came to the passenger side and by then I had taken my seat belt off and the fireman advised me to get out of the passenger side if I was able and I told him that I was scared to let off the brake because I thought for some reason being out of my head that the car was going to roll if I let off the brake and he took his hand and slammed the car up in to park because I didn't even realize I had not put it in park. He said you can let your foot off the brake because it will not roll and I said I'm too scared . I asked. . Can I put the emergency brake on and he said yes and when I did it went straight to the floor. Then I continued to come out the passenger side and hop to the sidewalk with my feet together just in case anything was hot and to keep from getting electrocutied just in case something was still hot around us. When I was struck by the airbag the and the seat belt did its job I suppose but for some reason my neck was yanked so hard that it hurts so badd everyday when I didn't go to the hospital. I was unaware of any recalls when I purchased from a dealership on Jan 18 2020. The day before I crashed we were traveling uphill &I had a friend with me that helped grab the wheel until it stopped after it revved up & quit. I attempted to crank it 3xs with success. I was stunned as to why it did it .

"takata recall" I purchased a 2013 Chevrolet Impala 02/2015. One month later my car stopped in me. I got the car towed to serra Chevrolet. They said I was out of gas which I didn't believe cause I was at qtr of tank. They said with the kind of engine I had qtr of a tank meant empty in my car. I didn't believe this. In 02/2016, on my way to work, my car stop on the interstate. I got the car towed to serra Chevrolet again. They said my fuel pump sensor and something else was gone. They used my extended warranty that I purchased w/ serra Toyota when I bought the vehicle. I lost my job due to this problem with this car. In 02/2017, the car stopped on me again. I got the car towed again to serra on 02/03/17. They said it was my fuel pump sensor. I had to pay $420. 21 out of pocket on 02/09 to get my car. They said my extended warranty had expired.

On 05/24/2017, my car messed up again, and I had to pay $133. 00. Serra gave me a $32. 95 discount cause I've had to spend so much money. At this time, I have 90668 miles on my car.

As a rental vehical to use while warrenty repairs where being performed on my traverse; I had been rented a 2014 Impala. To my surprise the following morning I came to a stop and the engine quite, there was a clear lane within site that I figured I could push the dead vehical to. I opened the door, while keeping my foot on the brake and positioned myself in the door frame to push. Then I removed my foot off the brake to reach in and place it into neuteral and start pushing. To my supprise the vehical started by its self and accellerated away from me, the door frame almost knocking me down, yet luckelly I was able to catch the car and get back to the brake before the car crashed. I came to find out that this was an economic feature on that vehical. I feel great concern that this car started when my seat belt had been removed and door opened, would they have at least considered some sort of precaution from this occuring. Please take this serious, I know that I was not advised of this feature, and had I not caught the car or gotten knocked down and run over, the outcome would have been much more serious.

I was driving to work, nearly at the end of a 50 mile trip, the car was functioning normally with no abnormal noises or indications of problems. I drove the car into the parking lot and was making a slight right turn, traveling at about 15 mph, when suddenly the car screeched to an immediate halt and stalled the engine. The sudden stop was violent and threw me against my seatbelt. I moved the gear selector lever from drive to park and restarted the engine without any trouble. The engine ran smooth and without any unusual noise. I put the car into drive, but it would not move and it made loud grinding and clunking sounds. I put the car in reverse, but still it would not move and again made loud noises. I put the car in neutral and a friend came over to help me push the car to a more safe area, but still the car would not move. Apparently the drivetrain was locked up and would not move, no matter what gear position the transmission was in. The car was later dragged on to a flatbed truck and taken to my local auto service center, where they determined the transmission was bad. The vehicle was then towed to my local Chevrolet dealer to be fixed under the gm 100,000mi/5 year powertrain warranty. I am very shaken up by this incident and fear what would have happen if the vehicles front wheels would have violently locked up like this at highway speeds. I fear the result would have been a total loss of control of the vehicle and possibly severe injury or even death to myself and others. I hope gm and the NHTSA investigate this incident and find the cause of the transmission failure with the goal of preventing this from happening again before someone gets hurt or killed.

I was driving to work on the freeway then I noticed that my car's rpm started bouncing up and down from two and a half to two and back and forth and then my check engine light turns on and says engine power is reduced and as well as the service traction light turns on. I see that I have to press on the gas pedal a lot more further down for my car to stay at 60 mph and after 2 minutes of this my car's rpm drops to 0. My car turns off with the car reading starter disabled and service throttle. I had to pull to the shoulder. This incident had made me late for work and this incident happens a lot now. This can happen from once every two or three weeks to twice a week. Just recently my car's seat belts will become undone without anyone clicking the button for it to release. Also recently my service airbags light has came on.

I purchased the 2006 Impala in 11/2006 when stopping the steering and front end shakes and vibrates. 1st the keyless remotes stop working which included my automatic start not working that happened 12/7. I am a trooper so I waited took my car to the chevy dealer 4/08 and they said there was a recall on the system so they fixed that and my tire monitoring system(which went out again on 12/1/08). My seatbelts wont lock in you have to force it hard several times and then still comes out on both the passenger and drivers side. My rear left door stop wrkg 6/08 1st the door would not close now it does not open at all. On 12/21/08 the power steering went out while driving at 55mph on the expressway. Also the heat stop working and the rear defrost 12/16/08 and it is freezing in chicago. Took car to dealership and of course the warranty was expired so I was stuck paying the $300 bill for the power steering. My husband refused to pay the 400. 00 for them to replace the thermostat and thermostat gasket. Well two days later car is back in the shop because now 1/3/09 the water pump is leaking waiting on a callback now from the authorized mechanic with the final report on what all is wrong with this car that just came from the other authorized shop on 12/21. Mind u the car was only driven like 4 miles b4 the other problems started happening. I have had it with this car. I will send in more information when I get the final verdict on the death trap from the authorized mechanic when he calls me back today 1/3/08.

I have a 2002 chevy Impala with 80,000 that I bought brand new in 2001. Approximately 3 months ago I had to have my vehicle towed to a repair shop as the antifreeze leaked out into my driveway. I was told that the manifold gaskets had failed and needed to be replaced. Also they found that the front brakes were bad and the rotors needed to be replaced. With regard to the leak I was told I was lucky because most times the failed gaskets causes the antifreeze to leak into the motor and seize it. I had the repairs done at a cost of approximately $1,500. 00. This past weekend while on the beltway my car started making a loud knocking noise and before I could pull over the motor died. I had the vehicle towed and was told the engine was blown, that they know of at least one piston was in my oil pan. Now I need to have the motor replaced. Which I have gotten prices from $4,500 - $6,500. 00. Also, they told me my brakes are bad again, only after 4 months.

I was driving through a low area in the street that had a puddle of water to drive through. I was going to turn right and the steering wheel would not turn and then all at once it did turn. I did not have any more water to run through until about a month later in a hard rain and it did it again. This was also when I wanted to make a right turn. This all happened in lakeland FL. I contacted bill heard Chevrolet in plant city FL and made an appointment. They checked it out and said they could not make it do that but they ordered parts ( a new belt) and installed a few days later. Another rain storm and it did the same thing only this time the instrument panel lights all come on for about a 1/2 minute. I reported this to the dealer and they said bring it back in a they would check out and replace the tensioner. I was driving back to michigan and I was at the georgia and tennessee state line in a rainstorm and it locked up again. I contacted cliff anschuetz in alpena mi and made an appointment with them. They checked it out, put water on the belt but said they could not make it happen. Another service rep said he would take a look at it and put on a new belt and tensioner and they did. The belt always squeals when you first start up in the morning. It still does that and I have no doubt the power steering will lock up when it rains. First incident date was sometime in March and to date. This is a very dangerous problem.

Cracked cylinder head gasket is causing engine to overheat and coolant leakage, consequently creating a potential engine fire. Prior engine coolant leakage caused damage to the water pump, power steering assembly, and possibly the current head gasket defect. Prior coolant leakage onto the power steering belt caused power steering failure that required replacement of the power steering belt and engine serpentine belt. Power steering belt and engine serpentine belt were replaced sept. 1999. Water pump was replaced Nov. 2000.
