135k original miles with minimal wear and tear has been an outstanding vehicle. Low maintenace provided regular oil, coolant, transmission inervals done when required. Not driven hard only to and from work, groceries, health visits and occasional trips here and there, this vehicle still has get up and go when needed. If continually maintained the same way, I csn easily get another 135k miles out of vehicle.

I have had to replace the battery 2 times in 9 years I've had this car. I attribute this to the difficult climates of the Las Vegas summer (116 daytime highs) and the Reno Winters it has had to endure (7 degree mornings). Two water pumps, and two fuel pressure regulators (one of which was due to a defective replacement part). Other than that, it's spoiled me as it doesn't leak anything, runs smooth, and has me expecting it to start reliably. I also put a set of Michelins on it at 30000 miles. First car I bought with my wife the year our baby daughter was born (new). Hope I can keep it going like my wife's 73 Cougar.

"Found On Road Dead" was meant for Chevy, not Ford

I have a 2004 Chevrolet Impala with just over 100,000 miles. This was a 1 owner car at purchase & I am the second owner. In the beginning this car I felt like I was getting a great deal and a great car all in one. WRONG! If I could give this 0 stars all across the board, I would. I've owned this car less than a year, and am on my SECOND transmission. That's just the start. This year is notorious for a hard shift & a whole lot of jerking when shifting. I've taken the car to multiple shops only to be told there's nothing to fix that problem. Anytime I take off, the car wants to do a burn out after first hesitating to go. As I reach 1st 2nd and 3rd gear, you can expect a kick from the transmission EVERY SINGLE TIME. As I said, 2nd transmission, still does the jerk & hard shift just as the 1st one did. This is a very common issue & one that should've been recalled and taken care of. The body isn't too bad until it starts rusting all over the place all of the sudden, rust here, there, and everywhere all within a month. Went from a great body to a rust bucket quickly. If that's not enough already, each time I put gas in the car doesn't want to start (also a common issue). Don't let me forget that when I push the TRUNK button, the ALARM sounds & the DOORS LOCK. Window motors have gone out 3 times all within the 1 yeah of ownership. Chevrolet has done nothing about any of these problems not only for me but for mostly anyone that has had this model & year. To say the least, I'd buy a bicycle before I would EVER own another Chevrolet. They've lost a customer for life on this one.

Don't Buy Impala

Security Light comes on and car won't start for 10 min. Started once a month now 2 times a day. Talked to Chevy but no solution and no hope for a recall. Looked on-line for solution and found many people with same problem. They only have temp solution for $800 or more. This problem is a safety issue and needs to be recalled. Are you listening Chevy?
