problem #3

2007Jan 15

Impala 3400 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 7,000 miles

I had 3 switches go bad at the same time on my 2001 Impala. They said the combo switch, the turning signal switch, and the heater blower switch was bad. I took it to Midas where I had done a lot of business, they always treated me fair before. But this time I am afraid they took me really bad. I should have gotten a second estimate but I didn't and I paid for it 1900.00.My temperature gauge didn't work, My turning signals didn't work, and my heater blower wouldn't stop running even when I turned my ignition off. I bought the car new it has 70,000 miles and I have replaced the brakes 3 times.I went out and started it just now and the security light and check engine light are staying on. They told me at Midas that I also had a intake manifold gasket leaking. I have always been a Chevrolet person but not any more.

problem #1

Impala 3.4L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 86,000 miles

I bought my Impala from a dealer in March of 2005. It ran quite well for many months, until about the beginning of 2006 it developed a problem with the temperature gauge. The gauge suddenly stopped working at random intervals and would not move from its resting position at the left side of the cluster, while at the same time the air conditioner stopped working. I figured out how a temporary fix to the problem by disconnecting/reconnecting the battery, which would reset the gauge and it would work fine for about a month until it did it again. This went on somewhat peacefully until about October of 2007 when the gauge stopped more and more frequently and finally disconnecting the battery would not remedy it. So now I do not ever know if my engine is overheating or not, and am about to have the thing replaced, unless some miracle of spontaneous car repair prevails (haha).
