Several types of gm vehicles (approx 2000-2008) have severe leaking and decay problems like my chevy Impala shows currently. I noticed early February 2012 when my factory speakers stopped working all together. The radio sound didn't get through, door chimes didn't work, safety and warning chimes didn't make noise, etc. A warning chime didn't signal for me to turn off my lights on a rainy day at a grocery store so that when I came back, I was stranded! this however isn't the big problem. This leak under the cowl seems to be prominent in many other vehicles and allowed gallons to enter in under my rugs, floor mats etc. , and travel all over the passenger cabin so that wires were submerged, corroded, mold grew, and airbag sensor hubs became islands. Yes my airbag sensors and wiring are submerged with water! please have gm recall this common problem to fix this! my car smells terrible inside from this (especially in the summer) and more importantly, I am worried that my airbags will malfunction. Thank you.

I drove to work at 8 am, sat in my car at lunch around noon, and when I left work at 5 pm, saw an 8-12 inch crack on the bottom driver side of my windshield. Once returning home and getting a better look at the crack, there is no sign of impact or chip from any rock. The crack is smooth and seems to stem from the edge of my windshield and there is another mark within the glass that looks like another crack may be coming. When I spoke with the dealership, one of the people tried to pass it off as a chip from a rock that spread, but there is no mark from a rock in the area and it's also very low down on the windshield-hard to believe a rock could hit at the base of my windshield and not leave a mark. I am currently in talks with chevy and the dealership to have this matter taken care of. This is not something that I caused, but rather something with my windshield I believe as do others who have looked at the window. I have heard that there was a bulletin on the 2008 Impala's windshield indicating that stress cracks may occur.

My 2007 Impala tires wore out prematurely. I noticed the tires starting to wear out on the inside at about 6,000 miles and had the tires aligned and rotated. The tires continued to wear out on the inside. I brought this to the attention of luck Chevrolet at about 32,000 miles and they said gm would not cover this repair under the warranty. However they did say there was a problem and a kit could be installed to correct. I replaced the tires and had goodyear install the camber kit to correct the problem. I spent $800 for new tires wheel alignment and the camber kit.
Car is terrible on ice,very unsafe under any adverse conditions.
Whenever it rains, the floorboards, in my 2003 Impala, on the passenger side of my car flood. It doesn't matter how little or how much it rains, the floorboards always flood. There was one instance where the water was past my ankles. The water is dripping from under the glove compartment box area and it runs along the door seal to the back passenger seat. I have been told from my local chevy dealership that it is possible a bad cabin seal. After finally getting fed up with the situation I looked for a possible solution online and while I didn't find a solution I found many others that have the same problem as me. This has been an ongoing problem that has lasted since I bought the car 2 years ago.

When raining water fills passenger side floorboards and goes in behind dash. Has caused the radio to quit working.
Excess whistling noise on the drivers side window. Dealer not aware of any other problems like this with other Impalas. Taken into dealership 7 times and each time they adjust the window but do not replace any weather stripping or window mechanisms because gm will only cover the replacement parts if they are found to be defective.
Air whistling in drivers side window or door. Dealer and gm state this is normal that there is nothing to be done.
I discovered accidentally that my 2003 Chevrolet Impala has a design defect that may cause some health problems and possible lead to death. In the right rear quarter panel of the car is a device that is called a body pressure valve that vents cabin pressure. The problem is it lets snow and rain in the stagnant water sits in your fender and is a breeding grown for germs. The dealer was shocked when I brought it in and asked me what made me think to remove the carpet and look in the fender. All they could do was take the water out. Standing water in a fender will cause a rust problem. I asked them what could be done and they told me to put a new valve in. That will not correct the problem because the flap is not air tight and is vented water and fumes such as carbon monoxide can enter the car through it . The exhaust is only 12 inches or less from it. The owners manual states do not run the car when sitting still lets me know that gm knows about this problem . We all have been told not to run cars in enclosed buildings but this is too much. If idling in traffic one must be astute enough to keep their vehicle fan on and outside air coming into the vehicle at all times so not to allow the car to fill up with fumes from the tail pipe that sits beneath the pressure valve. What a dumb design. Car was serviced on 03/04/08 I was always spraying deodorizer in the trunk and it smelled like a cesspool as far as the rest of this report goes the number of failures is total failure it has never worked and could be construed to be criminal neglect.
Whenever it rains, the floorboards, in my 2003 Impala, on the passenger side of my car flood. Found a solution for gm's poor design. The cowling gasket above the cabin filter should be replaced and glued in position with rtv. This should solve problem. Also make sure drainholes around cabin filter are clear of all debris.
Vibration felt at speeds of 60 plus miles per hour. Wind noise from both driver and passenger side windows at highway speeds.

I was driving down the street and my engine fell out of my 2000 chevy Impala. My engine cradle mounts were not in good enough due to gm negligence. They wont back it up even though their pamphlets say different. Safety issue and they don't care. A lot of other complaints about the same thing. This vehicle should have been recalled along time ago.
