Impala SS 5.3L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,821 miles

I just blew the transmission on my Impala SS (61K miles) At first it felt like it was slipping. Within a few hundred miles it would no longer engage any gears. Had to drop it off at an unknown dealer when it quit working on the PA turnpike where I was 150miles from home.

Impala LT 3.5L ??

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles

Bought the 2006 Chevy Impala LT in Sept 2007 with about 32,000 miles on it. The transmission went completely out 2 weeks ago with little warning. It was NOT under ANY warranty, which was at 36,000 miles. I was very angry and upset to say the least. I found out while it was in the shop that it was a HERTZ rental car before I got it, and I did not know when I purchased it, only that it was a trade in. The Chevy place told me that he called the manufacture about it and they would not help at all. Of course not, they want the GOVERNMENT to BAIL them out, so why would they help anyone? I had to get a loan to pay for the repairs, then I traded it in the same day I got it out of the shop. I have NEVER had that happen to me at that kind a mileage or at all for that fact. I understand it had no warranty, BUT for a car that new and low miles, that should NEVER HAPPEN. OK. that's off my chest now. Even though I have a bank note that fixed the problem, I could not afford to WONDER when the next shoe was to drop. OH by the way, THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED IT...I would have had to pay MORE MONEY to find out!!! How sorry is that? SO the new transmission may go out too being that there may be an underlying issue??? I don't know anything about cars, but I do know that that was way wrong!!!! They get these cars at auctions that were driven by hundreds of people renting them or whatever..
It's a piece of CHEvy!!
Hope if you have had a problem like this, to please reply....Should be a recall or something??

Impala LS 3.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35,496 miles

About two weeks ago my car started hesitating between third and fourth gear. It's been getting worse over the couple of weeks so Friday I called around and found a dealer to take a look as I had just barely over 500 miles left on my warranty. Sure enough they called me back to say my clutch was failing and there were metal grounds in my transmission pan so they are going to have to replace it. I'm super glad I took it in when I did, I can't imagine if I had gone another week and been out of warranty.
