| Sep 201392000 miUS $475 | Ignition, but car would not start. Mass air flow sensor had failed and was replaced. | ||

| Mar 201496000 miUS $450 | Difficulty starting and power loss while driving. Ignition switch was faulty and replaced. | ||
| Nov 2014102000 mi | Update: steering leak never reappeared. | ||
| Chevrolet Impala in Ontario, Canada Aug 2008 - Sep 2010 | |||
| May 200864195 miC $244 | Horn was going off when starting the car. The BCM was found to be at fault, but replacement was expensive. A less costly fix was made to disable the wire from the BCM to the horn relay, making the horn inoperative except from the steering wheel. | ||
| Nov 200870937 miC $619 | ABS sensor in left front hub assembly was shorting out causing the ABS warning light to stay on and the traction control to engage at times for no reason. Replaced the hub assembly. | ||
| Dec 200871873 mi | Fuel filter changed and fuel injectors cleaned. Catalytic convertor replaced under warranty. It was likely fouled due to other contributing problems and set the check engine light on. | ||
| Sep 201085560 miC $460 | Replacement of several small light bulbs inside dash components, including radio, HVAC controls and steering wheel cruise control. | ||
| Chevrolet Impala in North Carolina, United States Jun 2014 - Jan 2015 | |||

| Mar 201671300 miC $325 | Section of stainless steel exhaust system replaced. First repair to this system. | ||
| Oct 201775120 mi | The ABS light started coming on with traction control off. Research indicates that the ABS system failed and that the cause is often difficult to pinpoint resulting in costly repairs. I loved the ABS brake system but at the moment have decided to pump them myself when roads are icy. The struts are also pretty loose and we are living with that for the moment as well. | ||
| Jun 201876260 miC $525 | Technically, the automobile was not at fault. The car refused to start because 9 wires had been chewed by an unidentified rodent. Included in this amount was time spent diagnosing the ABS/ traction control malfunction( sensor failure on left rear wheel) and the occasional malfunction of drivers side airbag( sensor). The air bag issue will definitely be repaired in the near future. The cruise control occasionally refuses to work and the car occasionally stalls immediately after starting and both of those issue will be addressed if and when they worsen. Diagnosis of ABS/ traction control failure, previously mentioned. A sensor located in the rear left wheel, included with or on bearing is faulty and will cost $370 to repair. May or may not be repaired. Intermittent driver side air bag malfunction diagnosed as a faulty sensor($320). | ||
