Impala

  • 5,500 miles
I purchased the vehicle with 704 miles on it in February 2008. In may of 2008, the traction light came on and the traction control and ABS were "disabled". I took the vehicle in to the dealer where I purchased it, and they told me I had water in the fuel. As I was leaving the dealership, the transmission stopped shifting, and the car went into "limp" mode. I left the car to have the transmission control module replaced. I received the car back 5 days later and the light came on again, and the ABS and traction control where disabled. I took the car to another dealership in the hopes that they could find the trouble. After 14 days in service, they determined that rust has clogged the fuel system of the vehicle. The vehicle currently has 9,800 miles on it. The car is now "undriveable". they have yet to address the root cause of the safety issue that was the catalyst for the service visit.
