Same as everyone else. Temperature gauge don't work. Fans stay on after turning car off for a minute or two. Even just turning switch on and back off sets it off. Was looking at a new Chevy truck. Since first of the year had a 2002 Buick Regal get hot and start knocking. Bad intake manifold. No warning, idiot light, or temp gauge. 2001 Impala is now doing this. Has had intake replaced 2 times, caught fire once and had tranny rebuilt. Now have recalls sent to me on both of these cars. Both belong in scrap yard and sad thing is they are still both nice looking cars. What was I thinking looking at another Chevy! TOYOTA time for me!

Impala SE 3.2L V6

My cars check engine light came on shortly after purchasing it used. I was looking for a dependable car and that is not what I got. The check engine light came on and the temp gage drop to nothing and didnt move then my cooling fans came on and didnt turn off til well after I shut my car off. I have had the temp sensor changed and it worked for 5 min and went right back and then I had the thermostat changed and it worked for 5 min and then went right back to the same crap. I noticed my car is also idling a little high too. I will let you know how it goes when i get it back from the shop. It almost seems like and electrical problem. No anitfreeze is leaking and my engine doesnt appear to be overheating. I have been driving it like this for 4months. Chevy stinks. My wife has a chevy and it just got out of the shop to with 1500.00 worth of damage. We are no longer a chevy family.

Temperature gauge inside car doesn't work. Radiator fans start running as soon as car is started, and run for several minutes after turning the engine off.
