problem #5

Impala

  • Automatic transmission

Lights have water in them and GM claims this is not a defect and they have no record of this ever happening to any other Impala owners.
CALL 1-800-222-1020 to let GM know you are not happy.

Same here. The first one went while under warranty (6 months). Now the replacement is doing it, too. I plan to put the empty shell under water, face up in the tub to see where the leak is and then seal it with acetone.
I tried to contact the manufacturer but, to no avail. Not unexpected as others chose not to respond to other queries, either.

Highbeam went out when headlights filled with water. Due to corrosion.

problem #2

Impala LS

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,000 miles

What a piss poor design. (Engineer should have to pay for repairs) I had some moisture in both headlights many times but after a while I noticed one was half full of water. I am so shocked that there aren't more complaints. After draining the water my high beam went out on the drivers side. Now shortly after that my right blinker went hay wire. The back one flashes like a like a hyperactive person without ridolin and the right front doesn't work at all. My wipers also stand straight up when you turn them off. I am just now turning 42,000 miles. I checked on the price of replacing the headlights at the dealership and at a local auto parts store and they are approximately $350 each. BEWARE OF A CHEVY! NEVER AGAIN!

You would think this prob could be solved by a simple new seal, or a drain hole at bottom of fixture--but NO they make you pay $200 out of pocket for this repair. (That is for the part only) It is clearly a factory part defect!
