I own a 2000 chevy Impala which caught on fire approximately March or April of 08. I called 911 and a fire crew was sent to my prior residence. I recently heard of the recall on the news, however, they stated no fires were reported thus far. I need to find out if my car was impacted. The car is currently in the shop, so an immediate response as to my next steps would be appreciated. Thank you.

The consumer stated that the trunk latch on 2003 Chevrolet Impala was designed incorrectly. When he put a suit case in the trunk or anything heavy, the latch stuck very high, bent, and eventually the trunk would not shut. The dealer changed the latch once. The foreman and the mechanic at the dealership told him that there was a problem with this model. The warranty was soon to run out. (11/18/05) per invoice, the driveability seemed to idle high.

While driving 42 mph the vehicle (police package) crashed into a utility pole. As a result the vehicle's engine caught fire. The consumer sustained multiple fractures to both legs.

Engine dies suddenly with no warning. At speeds of 40 - 60. Very dangerous situation. Second 2000 Impala I have had with this problem. Problem started with first Impala at 4000 miles, now 50000 on this one. Lots of other 2000 Impalas with same problem but gm has no fix.

While driving with three passengers in my 2003 Chevrolet Impala LS at 35 mph the engine shut-off without warning with complete loss of power steering and brakes, requiring emergency maneuver to bring car to a stop before hitting oncoming traffic. A replacement vehicle was not made available. While driving to a medical emergency, later that evening, this recurred at 50 mph (engine shut-off without warning, loss of steering and braking power requiring emergency stop in center median 4 lane highway merge site). This happened previously with this vehicle on 7/4/03 at 50 mph with my wife driving on the van wyck expressway. At that time, after 3 days gm regional service manager stated that there was a defective crank-shaft sensor which was replaced. I advised gm that there were other reports to NHTSA about this problem with Chevrolet Impalas. I requested that an investigation and possible recall should be initiated and asked for a refund or replacement of my vehicle. This was denied "as there were too few episodes to warrant this action" and my car" was repaired per warranty obligation of general motors corporation". Unfortunately this happened to my vehicle again without warning placing myself and my passengers in danger. This is a potentially life threatening defect requiring immediate action to prevent injury or loss of life. The car is presently again at the dealership. I have contacted gm corporate headquarters about this issue. I have been told that they will fulfill their warranty obligations and attempt to repair my vehicle again.

The vehicle caught on fire under the hood, while parked.

Vehicle starts one time daily as owners manual states on starting vehicle. There after it requires two to four efforts to start the car with multiple cranks of the engine. Sometimes the vehicle will start the first time, after the car has first been started, but more often it will not. Vehicle taken to dealer who could not find any engine codes but advised me that the negative battery cable was loose and therefore not communicating to the computer properly. Vehicle driven from dealership, stopped, and thirty minutes later in trying to start, it took two cranks of the ignition. Went back to dealer who then advised that this problem was happening in other Chevrolet models. Advised that they would contact gm to see of a fix and advise me. After several days on no response from the dealer, went back and was told this time that gm would have to figure out a fix or something. But keep checking with them. I can hardly wait to get my questionaire about customer satisfaction of repairs.

Consumer called complaining about having problems with cradle bolt that holds the motor is cracked and looks like it is about to brake. Dealer was contacted and stated that they had replace the cradle. But it is braking again and the only thing they will do is glue it back together.

Cover gasket does not have proper holes to lubricate the outer rear axle.
