Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I had numerous problems with this vehicle (almost through my third set of tires, oxygen sensor going at 46,000 miles, rust beginning at 38,000 miles {car was two years old}, and the battery going prematurely). Last week, I attempted to put on my rear defogger. The light came on, but my rear windshield was still fogged up. The defroster also does not blow cold air if the car is in park.”
NHTSA complaint #10424655, filed 2011-09, 74,769 miles“I owe a chevy Impala 2007 and I was having trouble with the car muffler, it was making a noise. On taking it to the service shop, I was told that it needed to be changed and the probable reason is the salt has caused the damage. The car has run 69 k miles. I ended up changing the muffler.”
NHTSA complaint #10419608, filed 2011-08, 69,036 miles“My vehicle has the 3.9 l ltz package. It uses 2 to 3 quarts of oil per oil change. I am currently working with the dealership to monitor my oil consumption every 1,000 miles. So far we have used 1/2 quart in 2,000 miles. The dealership does not seemed concerned but frankly my car should not be using any oil. Gm should do something. We have a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty. I hope GM doesn't try to squeak out of fixing this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10429972, filed 2011-10, 60,000 miles“While driving my 07' chevy Impala the temperature gauge arm often will drop to 'c' as if the engine temperature is cold, then the drivers information display panel will display a message engine hot turn off A/C . I've had the thermostat replaced, radiator coolant drained and replaced, hoping to fix this problem, but I'm still dealing with it. After doing some research I'm finding that there has been other chevy vehicle owners dealing with this same issue, which is most likely a bad 'engine coolant temperature sensor (ect).”
NHTSA complaint #10592916, filed 2014-05, 87,000 miles“5weeks ago I took my car in for a heating problem the dealers service dept.
