What owners wrote
First at buying my chevy impala it had 115,000mi on it already but desperately needed a car being a single mother. After having the car a little over a month the fuel injectors blew where my car would no longer start. Got it fixed. Next I had to keep putting power steering fluid in (once every week) went to a mechanic, he said my power steering is going to eventually go.. Next 2 months after that my car caught on fire through the lighter. Electrical. Called the fire dept.
Was turning left from stop when traction light came on also ABS light and traction off switch light, now it happens in reverse and sometimes when I start the car. It makes a growling sound,if I shut off the car and restart it all the lights go out.
