2000 Chevrolet Impala review from North America
"Poorly made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I purchased this car from the local dealership, I bought an extended warranty. Come to find out the warranty company went bankrupt. Of course this is when all my problems began happening.
I have had the intake manifold gasket replaced, drivers side window regulator broke in the middle of a snow storm, replaced that.
Drivers side window switch stopped working during a rain storm, replaced that.
AC fan would only work on the HIGH setting; replaced that.
Lower control arm bushing needs to be replaced.
Head gasket completely shot, car barely gets out of first gear, will hesitate going up a hill to the point of stalling.
Trunk does not unlock with the key.
General comments?
Good car when it works.
Honestly GM really dropped the ball on this car.
Too many problems that GM refuses to address
I will never buy another GM product after owning this junk..
