Earlier in the winter of 2015, I noticed that the transmission would not shift up into fourth gear on the freeway until after ten minutes of driving. One day in ann arbor, mi, I was accelerating out of a turn when the rpm meter started revving to 6,000 and the engine lost power. After restarting the Impala, the car went a few hundred feet to red light and died at the intersection.

Gm 2006 Impala transmission failure. Upon initial operation transaxle shudders, stutters, and stalls upon acceleration demand. Failure creates an unanticipated and warning-less slow-down of my vehicle directly in front of other accelerating vehicles. A safety hazard results from possible rear-ending by following motorists that have to be unaware the car in front of them has stuttered and slowed down. It also is a problem for drivers as they cannot accelerate or pass other cars, and cannot safely or confidently evade road objects/debris/potholes. A review of this transaxle problem indicates many gm motorists share the same problems and voice the same concerns.

I have a 2006 Impala ss. The car was purchased used with approximately 12k miles, in early 2009 at 62k the transmission failed, stranding my family on the PA turnpike. In January 2011 at 101k we had to replace the transmission again. Luckily we purchased a gm power-train transmission and it came with a 3yr warranty. The failure symptoms were identical for each occurrence. 1st the transmission would occasionally shudder while shifting. Eventually it would shudder and predictably slip when maintaining a speed at or near 1800 rpm. This was especially noticeable driving up hills. Finally the car would not move while the engine rpm spiked when pressing the accelerator pedal. The entire failure period was around 1000 miles from the 1st sign that the transmission was having difficulty to shifting to the final failure. The transmission appears to reach very high temperatures and has a long cool off period. When replacing the power steering gear I noticed that the exhaust and engine were cool to the touch, but the transmission remained warm through out the repair. Thank for your attention in this matter.

Transmission failure--2001 chevy Impala with 45,000 miles--basically no advance notice--stopped at a traffic light, depressed accelerator and transmission took awhile to engage before moving forward.

Like their styling but don't know if I can continue to purchase their products.

Automatic transmission periodically fails to proceed with shifts after reaching 25-30 mph. At that point, the engine roars, as though it had been shifted into neutral, and the vehicle ceases to accelerate. Sometimes this is resolved when the car shifts with a lurch. Most often, it is necessary to reduce the spead and once again accelerate the vehicle through the problematic range. This usually leads to the car resuming a normal pattern of acceleration. However, on some accasions this process has led to multiple repititions of the same problem, causing the vehicle to fail to accelerate properly into traffic for a prolonged period with resultant danger to those in the vehicle and in other vehicles nearby. This problem has been brought to the attention of the dealership five times over the past five months, with the first request for service occurring when the vehicle's mileage was just under 10,800. The first four service visits failed to result in effective corrective action. The results of the fifth service visit are pending.
