While driving this car it would just stall or die as if someone had reached over and shut the car off and would not start for a few days. I have brought this car to two mechanics and neither were able to stop the problem but told me that different parts were the culprit, so 800 dollars later I have replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, crank shaft position sensor, mass air flow sensor, replaced the battery, tested the alternator, tested the fuel injectors both hot and cold, tested the ignition module and still the car died leaving my child and I stranded on the side of the freeway in cold temperatures. I then called a GM dealership whom said another $120 just to look at it and said they couldn't find the problem. This is outrageous!

Car will not start. It appears to be the passlock system. Need to wait for system to reset and it will start. This seems to be a common problem with this car and many other GM vehicles. This should be a recall.

No warning, no event leading up to the failure. 2000 Chevy Impala ls 3.8 stalls constantly. No check engine light comes on, so there is no way to know what is causing this. Seems to be a common problem all over just look it up on the internet, don't know why this is not a recall, it is very dangerous. I was traveling 70 mph in the fast lane on a major highway and the car just stalled, also stalled at a red light, also stalled traveling at about 10 mph and at 30 mph (almost rear-ended on both occasions). Chevy does not have an answer, Chevy mechanic told me this has been a common problem with all GM cars for years. Why is this not known to the public? they replaced the thermostat and it stalled about a mile down the road. Now they will try replacing the crankshaft position sensor but will not guarantee that this will solve the problem. Next they would try the mass air sensor. This is a known common problem that could be catastrophic if it happened at the wrong time. I know, I was almost killed on that major highway that day.

2000 Impala, car has died 2 times since purchased 2 weeks ago for no reason while driving. All electrical still works but starter will not engage, after 5-30 minutes of waiting it will start. Chevy dealership says to change the ignition switch sometimes it helps. Chevy knows about this problem but wont do anything it. Also have the turn signal issue where they quit working until you turn on the flashers. Fuel guage doesnt work. All of the recalls have been done to this car. Why wont Chevy fix the dangerous one about the car stalling at freeway speed and loosing the power steering and power brakes do to a stalled engine. 119000 miles on the car.

I own a 2000 Chevrolet Impala. The dimmer switch on the steering column has failed/misfunctioned several times and is now locked in a permanent "hi beam" position. The lights have totally failed in the past. A website named "topix.com" has cited many instances of this type of light failure, resulting in several near misses as regards serious accidents. T is very apparent (and evident from the number of complaints filed with your office) that this is a very serious safety issue for which Chevrolet is denying the existence and/or responsibility of any problem. They are simply ignoring this serious issue and trying to charge anywhere from $600 to $800 to fix this problem this problem apparently extends through many model years, from 2000 (or earlier)to 2007/2008. It is only a matter of time before someone driving at night is killed because of this defect. Please advise what you have done regarding prior complaints, and what you intend to do to resolve this issue..

My 2000 Chevrolet Impala has a problem a couple of times every month where it won't start up. I'll turn the key and nothing happens. So I'll just wait 15-30 minutes and it starts up fine. I've heard many other people having the same problem on all similar GM vehicles and was wondering why there has been no recall.

- Raleigh, NC, USA

Turn signals have started not working intermittently. Not good if you have to merge into traffic on the highway. I have googled it and found that there are many complaints about this issue although not on this website. Most resources say it is the hazard switch.

Multi function head light switch I own a 2000 Chevrolet Impala I was driving home from work the other night the lights went off I had to hold the lever to engage the high beams the lights came back on as long as I held on to the lever. I went to the auto parts store to discover that this was a common problem with Chevrolet the replacement part was 330 dollars very expensive.

My daughter with her permit was driving the vehicle and the turn signals stopped working in the middle of traffic. Luckily she pulled over safely and I continued to drive home. The hazards worked fine and after some research, the hazard switch is the failure. This has been going on intermittently for a month and finally they would work only one time after car was turned on. My local dealer wanted $400 dollars for a $60 part and labor. Thank god for used parts and an easy dash remove only seven bolts instructions online. Do it yourself for cheap. My daughter at 16 did most of it as I told her with instructions. I do love Chevy will remain loyal but they need to wake up and solve some issues.

On Feb.10th or 11th.my neighbor was attempting to jump start my car because the battery had failed due to a 3 day snow storm. After turned the ignition the second time, there was a loud boom. When we checked the engine, we noted the manifold cover had cracked into several pieces. Also the wires were on fire. My neighbor quickly extinguished the flames. Later, I went to my dealer(frank Z Chevrolet in dayton, oh. About the problem. I was told by the assistant service manager that the repairs could cost from $1,800-$2,000 mainly due to the fire damage. Since I have been unemployed for 18 months, I have not had the car towed to the dealer for an estimate of actual damage.

My 2000 Chevrolet Impala is causing a great deal of financial hardships and is leaving me stranded in awkward situations. At unpredictable times it will not start. I turn the key and nothing. I took it to a GM dealer and they put a new ignition switch on the car and it was fine for 6 months. Cost $500. I often could wait 10 to 15 minutes and it would start. But it began happening more and more. I took it in to a mechanic, he ran the codes and determined it was the ignition switch. Cost $450 and within a month it began doing the same thing. I got stranded and had to have it towed to a GM dealer and they put a new battery on it and removed all the after market unlocking mechanisms and charged $550. Three days later we have the same problem. It seems to be connected to the pass lock system. There has to be a defect of some sort going on in the whole starting electrical system.
