2 Water Pump problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 02/20/2015

Intake manifold gasket. Why are the defected? there are so many complaints about faulty ones and still you have not changed to better gaskets. First the heat goes and then the car overheats for no apparent reason. Changed the water pump and thermostat. Now the gasket. For the price you pay for this car it should not have to cost me another 800 to 1200 more for a part you can fix with changing your product you use. I have own GMC products for over 20 years and this is my first complaint about them. Just because I am having problems with my Impala will not keep me from telling people that GMC has good cars. Just wish this problem will fixed for future owners. Would hate to be called a liar. One of our GMC's is a 78 sierra classic which was bought brand new in 77.

Failure Date: 05/01/2013

2006 Chevrolet Impala. Consumer writes in regards to transmission problems. The consumer stated the transmission was slipping. She explained to the dealer, there was a recurring problem with the transmission. Each time, the consumer went to the dealer, she was informed they could not recreate the problem, and therefore no problem existed. Besides the transmission problem, there was a horrible ratcheting machine-gun type noise coming from behind the dash, when she changed the vent position. The loud noise lasted for about a minute and was almost ear-piercing. Also, the engine mount broke, the water pump, steering and tie rods failed, the engine burned excessive amount of oil, and the engine low oil light illuminated. The windows made a screeching sound, the sunroof would drag, the plastic headlight covered were fogged and faded. The tire pressure monitoring light was constantly on. On April 24, 2013. The consumer took the vehicle to an independent transmission shop to have them assess the same transmission slipping problem, she had been experiencing for seven years. They dropped the transmission pan, and they found fine metal, pieces of aluminum and clutch material in the pan.
