Chevrolet Impala owners have reported 4 problems related to transmission gear indicator (under the power train category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Chevrolet Impala based on all problems reported for the Impala.
When taking off the vehicle would jerk into gear after a slight sputter. You have to let the transmission get fully hot (running for 10-15 minutes even on a hot day) for it not to jerk when pulling off or let it slightly coast before giving gas to keep from jerking. Once it's good and hot I have not seen any other problems.

In the past several weeks I had noticed that the doors of my 2003 chevy Impala were not automatically unlocking. This is supposed to occur when gearshift is moved into park position. At the time I did not view this as important. In the last several days I have noticed that my car would not start at various times of the day. On inspection, I noticed that even though the gearshift was in the physical position for park, the dash indicator did not indicate "p" on the display. I moved the gearshift into the neutral position and the vehicle started. Today, while parking the vehicle on an incline I moved the gearshift to the physical park position but again the dash indicator did not show the "p" for gearshift position. After removing my foot from the brake, the vehicle began to roll down the incline. I reapplied the brake and fidgeted with the gearshift lever and eventually the dash indicator eventually showed "p" indicating the vehicle was in park. On removing my foot from the brake, the vehicle remained stationary. There appears to me to be some malfunction with the switch sending the gearshift position indication to the transmission.
