2000 Chevrolet Impala LS review from North America

At 12,000 miles the fog lights became miniature ponds, with rain filling them up and burning the bulbs out. Dealer replaced both assembly's under warranty.

At 21000 miles we were involved in a 50 car pile up on 81 in Pennsylvania, we were rear-ended 3 times, and sideswiped on both sides twice, the car suffered extensive exterior damage, but the passenger cabin remained fully intact thankfully, as the vehicle was still fairly new insurance footed the bill for the repairs. Warranty was void on just the trunk.

At 37,000 miles the power steering pump went out, out of warranty $450!

At 38,000 miles the transmission started slipping, and the check engine light came on at random intervals, but never when we went to the dealership. Also the airbag light would flash randomly while driving. Decided Chevrolet must have built in a timer to tell the car to breakdown outside of the warranty. Sold vehicle avoiding the costly repair bills.

This car is great during its warranty period, and just goes to pieces afterwords. Excellent performing engine, can see why cops use them.

One big plus was the passenger cabin safety during our accident.
