Since my cars are getting up there in age, I saw 4 new Malibus sitting on a dealers lot and decided to check them out. While I think the new Impala looks like a decent car, I don't know why all the fuss in trying to make a smaller version of it and call it the Malibu? Impala sales are....meh...

I am ticked off right now, so forgive my emotions at the moment I write this. I just took my '00 Impala in for the ignition recall that I signed up for in March of this year. After 3 reminders from GM that I still haven't taken it in even though I was on the list, they fast forwarded me in the...

My dad and I attended a hot rod truck/tractor pull over the weekend and I saw almost 15 different 4x4 trucks pull the sled. 13 out of 15 were Dodge, there was 1 GMC and 1 Ford. The announcer hyped up the GM crowd when he hooked up, and basically he went half way and petered out. The crowd's...

I'm having some ongoing issues with what I think is a failing ignition switch on the dash. It used to be occasionally, but now almost regularly the car's dash lights (air bag, ABS, traction control) come on when you slow down or put on a turn signal out of the blue. It used to not start unless...

I know this is an old, ongoing complaint, but I am truly getting tired of this cold winter. Last week I had to take a day off work because the water line coming from under the road froze deep because of the clear roads allowing the frost to go deeper than normal. It has never happened in my 24...

It is old and has 300,000 miles on it, but I like it for a work car and taking the dog for rides. Besides the clunking old front suspension, the car still feels good and gets about 34mpg HGWY. I have no boat or camper, so this is like a pseudo-fun project that has me in for about $300 in the...

I have a new credit card from my credit union and would like to cancel the account of my old card that has went through 3 different bank owners. The old bank card was an interm card issued because I have no other accounts with them except for the card. They always wanted to upsell me new...

Hey guys, 2000 Impala LS 230,000 miles, 3800 and the SVS light is on the dash screen in the corner. Also, my headlights are on all the time even in full sun. I used to be able to pull the light switch out to parking only to turn off the headlights while I warmed it up when it was fully dark. Now...

This got me thinking after seeing a car museum with my dad on Father's day. We saw old Lincolns, old big Buicks, large Plymouths, and a red 1963 Chevy Impala, long, loaded, just enough real metal chrome and gorgeous sitting on display. I drive a very nice '00 Impala LS everyday and he said at...

After a recent shift kit install that helped me out on our Impala, has anyone installed a Corvette servo on a Silverado 1500 4L60e to firm up 2-3 shifts? I've read the Corvette servo can chirp the tires if you get on it, but that would be too much for me in normal driving. Truck in question is a...

I previously posted about our Impala 3800 with the p1811 (long shift time) and told of the engine stalling randomly, jerkiness when taking off and intermittent rpm drop during highway cruising. No CEL at all, but a couple of sensors later and still nothing changed, except I lost some money...

My stepson has a slight cooling leak near the rear head by the timing chain cover on a '02 Taurus 3.0 Vulcan. He said about 8 oz a month he has to add to recovery tank. The car only sees city driving with very rare country driving with 68,000 miles on it. It looks to be a fairly involved task of...

This site is very good, as I seem to be having more car issues pop up over the past month than have in the past several years. My '00 Impala 3800, 228,000 miles, literally just started having a shuddering feeling starting off from a stop and also intermittent stumble on the highway like someone...

I recently posted my wife totaled her '05 Chrysler 300 in an accident that left her okay afterwards. She picked out a '09 Sentra with the CVT transmission as her next car. I know nothing about Nissans, but mostly about Chevys and Toyotas. Nissan is really the only car manufacturer that I hear do...

I have a 2000 Impala LS that has the 3800 engine that is beginning to buck on acceleration and stall ocassionally. I just put a new fuel pump in it (sending unit quit working) along with new fuel/air filters, cleaned MAF sensor, new PCV valve and still it acts up. No check engine light on and...

My wife had a 2005 Chrysler 300 limited that hit a young girl's Nissan Sentra going through an intersection last week. My wife is fine and doing well BTW. She had the green light but the girl cut in front of her coming the other way. She was doing about 40mph when the air bag went off in the...

I briefly looked through the forum questions, but I am very tired so forgive me if this was covered recently. My '00 Silverado 1500 had the code pop up when I was leaving for work doing about 35mph after a cold start and 2 min warmup. I replaced the intake manifold gasket last year and she fired...

My daughter's 1998 Grand Am SE 4 cylinder with 180,000 miles did it's job for the 7 years she had it since 11th. grade through 6 years of college. She was interested in a used 2010 Corolla S and I test rode it with her driving for about 10 minutes. She ended up buying the car with 33,268 miles...

My dad has a 2012 Malibu LT and wanted to put steel rims and snow tires on his car for winter in place of his aluminum rims and all season tires. My brother found some on Craig's list, all 4 rims/tires for $220 with the tires less than half worn down but still okay. His light went on indicating...

Hey guys, my wife is interested in a Fiat 500 car. She can't drive stick shift so the auto is the only choice. Does anyone here have one or ever rent/ride in one? I hear they are pretty good cars except for being slow getting going. Personally I have ZERO interest them. The Fiat brand is totally...
