2000 Chevrolet Impala review from North America
"At least the headlights work...sometimes"
General comments?
I bought this car in 05 with 80k miles and it worked great. Now every once in a while my blinkers will stop working and I will have to hit the hazard button to get the blinkers to jump back on, now my hazards don't work. My airbag light will randomly appear and then disappear, or even stay on for a week or two then go off. My security light flashes every once in a while. Once my car would not start because the security light was over-ridding my ignition so I had to leave the key in the on position for 15 minutes for the electronic module to reset. I hear clunking in the truck sometimes (even when I take the bowling ball out!!!) I had to have the battery replaced, spark plugs and spark wires because the wires were arking. Now my engine is in the shop in 1000 pieces and the mechanic tells me that my coolant has leaked into the oil through a cracked gasket, approx $600 repair. Hopefully that will fix the random times where I turn the car on and it rev's to about 5k rpms. WHERE IS THE RECALLS ON THIS CAR???NO DIRECTIONALS???!!!COME ON
I do love this car when it comes to passing people, when IT RUNS and I want to pass someone the hamsters under the hood put there legs in super mode and crank it up on the wheel. The car now has 107 thousand miles, any one looking for a good buy???lol.
