2006 Chevrolet Impala LT review from North America
"The 2006 Impala is beautiful but it's a mechanical nightmare!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first month I got the car something went wrong with the charging system. The dealership changed a sensor and replaced the battery.
About 5 months later only 7,000 miles on it... the transmission was slipping. The dealership kept it for a month the had to rebuild the transmission.
A Year Later 15,000 miles again having problems with the charging system and the battery was replaced.
When the dealership had the car I had them check 3 of they 4 windows because the were making weird noises when rolling them up.
All 3 Window motors were Replaced.
I've now had the car for 3 years. It's Beautiful but it's a lemon...
The transmission is slipping again the dealership will not help me because the warranty has expired.
My Impala will not drive in reverse and again charging system is out. Car won't even start. Starter is bad.
General comments?
My car is beautiful and luxurious but it's a lemon... I have had nothing but problems with it for the last 3 years.
