The 3-wire pigtail that plugs into the passenger lock sensor was bad causing the ignition to lockout for at least 10 minutes, sometimes up to 4 hours. One dealer replaced the passenger lock sensor twice. They could not duplicate the problem in the shop. I finally went to another dealer and they had seen the problem before. Cost me over $1350 total and over 2 years of frustration.
The Intermediate steering shaft felt like it had a slight wobble when turning. It was regreased and then replaced. Finally the technicians said it was not really a problem and to just ignore it.
The intake gasket leaked and had to be replaced.
The radiator cooling fans had to be replaced.
I like the comfortable interior and the exterior body style.
The handling and engine performance is good.
Car feels solid, well built.
Transmission shifts smoothly.
Very good gas mileage. I get about 31mpg on the highway.
Even with all the problems, I still like the way it drives. I plan on keeping it a little longer since the ignition problem is fixed now.
I had an 01 Impala that I never had a problem out of.
I drove that car to 247,000 miles and never had a problem out of it. I did replace all the bulbs though the second I bout the car at 98,000 miles just to make sure I wouldn't get pulled over.
I also had to replace the factory CD player when it started to skip at about 130,000 miles.
You have a great car don't let her go.
I now drive a 1991 BMW 525i and hope this cars as good.
