What owners wrote
On friday, november 18, 2016 at approximately 5:20 a.m. I was parking my car in a center city parking garage. I was approximately 2 car lengths from the parking spot. I was backing my car into the spot. The car was stopped and I removed my safety belt and lowered the window. I put the car in reverse and depressed the accelerator to proceed into the lined parking spot. The car proceeded at a high rate of speed into a concrete wall.
Concerning the 2016 chevrolet impala trunk, there were several occasions of the trunk being found opened on it's own when not in use. Recently, the trunk will not close or will not open. I've purchased fuses to no avail as they continue to blow. Contacted chevrolet customer care, they lied and said no complaints had been received on any models since 2000. There are at least 2 other complaints about the trunk on the nthsa site. Chevrolet (rob) informed me my complaint is now in their records.
