2004 Chevrolet Impala LS review from North America
"LEMON"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I bought the car new, I have added at least 1 1/2 quarts of oil every 1500 miles. Dealer performed engine oil consumption tests which proved out of GM specs. The vehicle is now in the shop for the third time having major engine repairs done.
First- replaced PCV valve.
Second- replaced piston rings and push rods.
Third- re-machine head and change valves and seats and springs.
General comments?
Numerous trips to dealership for service.
Decreased value of the car.
Car has been in the shop for 1/5th of it's life.
LEMON.
