In January 2007 I purchased a 2006 Chevy Impala and approximately 6 months later I had my first problem with the car. First problem: "service tire monitor system" (7/07) I took the car to the dealership and the sensors were replaced for free in two of the tires. I have since experienced this same problem over and over again. I did not have this fixed at all in 2008 because the dealership wants to charge me for the replacement of the sensors. I just let the monitor continue to blink on and off. I had it replaced in 4/09 due to other standard replacements. Second problem: Heating (found problem 10/07) to get heat in the car your foot must be on the peddle and the car must be moving. The moment you take your foot off the peddle to press the brake, the heater goes out and the air turns cold. This problem was fixed in 4/09, when the other replacement parts were fixed. Third problem: On and off jerking (9/07) if you are at a stop light and it turns green. You press on the gas tank but the car does not go anywhere for a moment. Then it jerks and takes off. It seems like there is a delay in the thinking process like the car is not aware it should go when you press the gas. In 4/09 I addressed this problem with the dealership but nothing could be found wrong with the car and of course it did not happen when they took it for a test drive.
