Reduced engine power message, faulty back door locks, heating actuator repairs. This is a revised complaint to one I also made for just the reduced engine power message. After reading numerous complaints on here I have found that my car has several of the issues not just reduced engine power. I am most concerned with the car cutting out while driving due to the reduced engine power however we also have locks that don't open/lock with remote which has been going on for the last 3 years and since last winter heater only blows cold air until you accelerate the car. This month we had car repaired for a knocking noise coming from under glove box while car was running or shut off. Mechanic diagnosed as a new actuator and did repair. This however did not repair the blowing of cold air and also this is when the reduced engine power warning started. I am a former gmac employee and have had gm vehicles for the last 15 years. I am so disappointed that there are so many problems with this make/model and that gm has not issued a recall on these.

Was driving when the traction control light came on and message came across saying service traction control: then check engine light started flashing rapidly at the same time. Follow by a very loud knocking noise from the engine. Then speed would not accelerate. Turned on flashers and coasted into parking lot. Vehicle had troubles restarting and would not move. Steering wheel was hard to turn. Tries to die while idling after you get it to start. Did diagnostics and code p0300 random misfire detection power train unable to establish a link to the vehicle. Fuel system 2 is ol, lift at 0%, spark plug 13. 5, fuel level low 38. 8, ecu 14. 417, low acceleration. Contacted local chevy dealership and was told it will cost $35 to tow it to their shop and about $85 just to run a diagnostic on their machine. If it is a lifter the cost will be over $700 to get fixed. I purchased this automobile in August 2013 and have just had it a year. So now I have a car payment on a car that doesn't run. I bought it at wk motors in sedalia, mo. This is the second time this car has had issues and without a warranty the dealership wont do anything!!!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while driving at any speed, the vehicle would start to shake with a knocking noise then it stalled without warning. In addition the vehicle transmission leak flued and also failed to start. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine is bad and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 149,000. Aw.

While driving 65mph vehicle just died. Was not able to start for about 15 mins. This has happened several times nearly causing several accidents. The vehicle intermittently has reduced engine power while driving and jerks from a complete stop sometimes. Now the oil engine pressure/turn off engine light and alarm go off all the time. Replace the sensor, but to no avail. The loud knocking sound from the dash is utterly annoying. I think the fact that only the police cars got recalled is insane, no matter what the recall was. I'm sure once they took those vehicles in; all the other issues I have mentioned were also fixed. Also the rear driver side power lock is faulty and unsafe when travelling with young children. I honestly believe with so many consumers having the exact same problems, gm should issue a recall on these vehicles before several tragedies occur and we then just become statistics. Please help. There are so many of us out here with the exact same issues on these Impalas who should not have to pay for the repair of something that apparently should be recalled by gm. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I too have suffered from the aching noise that comes from the blend door actuator. I was also told by the dealership the first time I took it, that this was a very common problem in the Impalas. My Impala was at the dealership for a week and I was told the reason that it took so long was that there are three actuators and they had to figure out which one it was or charge me to fix all three because they couldn't make out which one it was. I paid to get the one fix and a couple of months later it started again. I took it back to the dealership and was told that maybe they fixed the wrong one and I could pay to get the other two fixed. This is a $40 part that I paid $238. 00 to get fixed. I declined and found numerous youtube videos and blogs reporting models as early as 2006 with the same issue. I have encountered several people who have had or have the same issue with the "knocking noise from the dash board". I am very surprised and disheartened that this a common issue with these models and yet gm has not issued a recall. Hopefully, I can get others to speak out on this issue and file complaints.

Engine makes a knocking noise while accelerating. I drove another one and the noise was even worse, that one had 15000 miles on it. This seems to be a common problem with them all. I am very unhappy with this car. I don't enjoy hearing all this noise from a new car. (now has 6000 miles on it) if I can't resolve this problem it will be the last gm car I ever buy. The dealer had me drive another new 2012 Impala when I mentioned the noise, it also sounded the same. Gm definitely didn't address this problem before production.

I've been having this problem for about 6 months now I have an 2000 chevy Impala and I hear a knocking noise when ever I push the gas,reverse, turn, or hit a small bump. I have taken it to the auto shop several times and they cant figure out the problem. Have you guys ever heard any repairs for this.
