Used 2007 Chevrolet Impala Consumer Reviews
pressure control solenoid bracket
07 chevy impala transmission pressure control solenoid bracket The transmission pressure control solenoid may fail causing erratic shifting. Our technicians tell us that partial dis-assembly of the transmission is necessary to replace a failed pressure control solenoid Just to let you know what I found . I lowered the tranny down and pulled the side cover off that faces the left front wheel and I replaced the pressure control solenoid. And while I was in there I replaced the torque convertor band with solenoid just because these go bad often also but the problem was the pc solenoid, it now works great and I have no problems

Very Disappointing
This car is a beautiful car inside and out. It did, however, have many issues that were so expensive to fix, I sold the vehicle and bought a Hyundai Elantra. The issues included, steering rack failure, headlights blinked on and off making me fear that I would end up with no lights as I was driving down the road, transmission slipped, oil pressure light came on, brakes and tires were very expensive to replace. It would not keep an alignment and would wear off the inside portions of the rear tires. It only had 52,000+ miles on it and should not have had so many major issues. The interior was gorgeous with a creamy white leather and dark wood trim. The air conditioning/heating systems and stereo system worked well. I was truly disappointed with the performance of this car because it was such a beautiful car and I would have kept it a long time had it not been so horrible mechanically. Never had a problem starting. It also had the remote start feature which was wonderful as were the heated front seats. Sigh......

So many problems
I bought this car brand new in 07 it now has 96,000 miles. I have had my key get stuck in the ignition, the car has been stuck in park, my traction controll kept coming on while driving (very dangerous), i have vent acturators that makes i clicking noise for about 3min when you start the car or turn it off or change the setting on the AC. The heater only warms up while moving, my tires ware down about every 20 to 30k miles no mater what type you buy. I currently have a oil leak and transmition leak and now it is real hard to break. I have taken in to break check and they said the pads & fuel are fine. My battery has died 3 times so far. I have had it serviced at 50k & just now.
This Car Rocks
Only problem has been air pressure with the tires. This car is the best of both worlds. FWD for the snow living in the northeast but a real sports car feel. One word, awesome.
Buy American
This American sedan is great for anything I need a car to do. It has great room, good MPG, safe, nice style and design. The best thing about my American made Chevrolet is that it did not put an American out of work when I bought it! I had a 2003 BMW 540i until the car market went south. That is when I bought American and will again. If you live in Michigan you should think about buying a great American made Chevrolet Impala LTZ or SS.
