What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet impala. While attempting to unlock the vehicle, it failed to unlatch. The contact also stated that there was an abnormal burning odor inside the vehicle. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to NHTSA. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 105,577. The VIN was invalid.
A dead battery at the airport parking lot in a 2009 chevrolet impala may not seem like a problem, however there is no mechanical trunk release from inside the vehicle and my back seat doesn't fold down, so I couldn't crawl into the trunk to trip the emergency release, I was unable to get to my jumper cables. Then when I tried to get the key out of the ignition to lock the car to go make a call. Guess what with the battery dead I couldn't get the key out of the ignition either.
