My problem started back in November of 2006. I had to leave work to go pick up a sick child. When I got in my car it would not crank. I tried jumping it off but it still wouldn't start. I borrowed a car from a coworker and when I came back later it started without a problem. I took it to the dealership and they told me it was a fuel issue. But after reading all the complaints I realized it was indeed a passlock problem. It will happen about every 7 to 10 days, in fact today with the day. When out to my car at lunch and nothing happened. I do not want to spent $500 to get the problem fixed if it's not going to fix the problem. From everything I've read they are willing to take you money but not fix the problem.

Car went out of control after driver put the car into gear to move it from a parked, idling position, after noticing a burning like odor. It was noted by the driver at that time that the temperature gauge was in the red zone. When the driver attempted to move the car to a safer parking area only a few feet in distance, she heard a sharp snapping sound and also felt a vibration in the steering wheel/column area. The car suddenly lurched forward, the head lights and dash lighting went completely out as the car began accelerating out of control. In addition, there was no steering or brake control. No work has been done yet to correct these problems because an insurance company is involved.

I have a 2000 Impala ls with 97000 miles. The car will stall at highway speed. This has happened to both my wife and myself several times this summer. The car has been in the dealership for 3 of the last 4 weeks and I am tolled they can't find the problem. I have done a internet check and have founded several other owners with the same issue. This needs to be addressed before someone is killed.

: the contact stated without warning the vehicle stalled intermittently at various speeds. The consumer attempted to restart the vehicle. At time it would start right up. Other times the vehicle had to cool down before it would restart. The dealership reprogrammed the computer but the problem persisted. Updated 9/22/2006 - the vehicle stalled a couple times a week.

For the last year my security light will randomly come on. Soon after..sometimes hours, sometimes days...the car will not start. I contacted my dealer and they said it is a passlock security code problem. The car thinks it is getting stolen and you have to wait 15-20 minutes and try again. The code is easy to fix but it is also $395. The only place that can fix it is the dealership. I have done some investigating and many Impala have this problem. My dealer suggested I write a complaint because they see it a lot and hopefully a recall could occur. I don't know when it is going to happen again and being a young female it is scary when I walk out to my car late at night or alone. I have found car website forums and many have listed this same problem. I appreciate your time and hope that something can be done. This can be a safety issue for many people.

Contact states both back door locks on his vehicle are malfunctioning. When the right door lock malfunctioned the contact thought the door unlocked, while lifting the door handle to open the door, the door handle broke off. The consumer contacted the manufacturer they stated it could be an electrical problem within the door. They did give him an option to purchase a vehicle without the power door locks. Dealership where the vehicle was purchased is no longer in business, so there is no address available*.

Dashboard lighting failed to light up when car is started. Specially dangerous at night time, because this is also accompanied by failure of the tail lights to turn on. Head lights are not affected. There is no override to manually turn on the tail lights nor dashboard lights. Apparently there is a sensor that turns these lights on when car is started. This is a recurring problem. Again, specially dangerrous situation when driving at night because of no tail lights, and no way for driver to tell what is the dirving speed. Accident waiting to happen.
