problem #6

Dec 222009

Impala

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,549 miles

Dealer I bought the car from says the part (multifunction switch) is $760 to replace. That seems like a rather crazy price for a switch! Why does it break so easily? Why is it tied to everything else (probably reason for crazy price)!?

Why wouldn't GM consider this a safety issue? If your lights go off on a dark road wouldn't it be an accident waiting to happen, don't we consider that a safety issue. I guess that is what it will take for them to do something. This happens all the time, to many times to add a report for each time.

problem #2

Jan 132009

Impala 3100

  • Automatic transmission
  • 81,500 miles

the dealer said he has replaced many of these in Impalas. Why won't GM do something about this. Do a recall. It is a matter of safety on the road.

problem #1

Impala ES

  • Automatic transmission
  • 93,000 miles

So another problem with my 2004 Impala to go along with my no speedometer, tachometer and temperature gauge...I'm driving along on a very dark, winding road and decide I need my high beams to see. Then all of a sudden...BAM, I have NO headlights at all! I flick the high beams off and to my surprise, my lights come back on! It's amazing how many electrical problems this car has, with no recalls. Guess it will take someone to die before any thing is ever done. I need to be BAILED OUT from my GM. What a joke!
