Cost Problem/Repair Description
Oct 2011 30 Blower motor resistor replaced for the first time. Lost settings 1-4 on the blower. Front seal of transmission blew on the highway. Clouds of smoke and long trail of tranny fluid. Needed new transmission 2 hours away from home. Fuel pressure regulator replaced. Was leaking fuel, could smell it in cabin. Had to replace fuel level sensor in tank. Accessible through trunk, didn't have to drop tank. Repaired power window switch. Driver side window goes down, doesn't go up. Repair was free but tedious. http://mattgadient.com/2011/06/10/chevy-impala-driver-side-power-window-not-going-up-the-fix/ Replaced plugs and wires. I mention it because it was a *(&#@$ nightmare to do without lifting the engine out. 4 hours. Tranny was slipping. Had to have it rebuilt.

Jun 2011 61000   First odometer entry
Jul 2011 62000 0 Coolant Sensor broken. This was repaired under warranty by a Chevy dealer once before but, broke again soon after. This other Chevy dealer decided to replace it and charge me for another repair and parts. Wheel bearing seals were out on two wheels. The dealership decided to replace the bearings. The dealership discovered the brakes and rotors were worn considerably. Both items were replaced. 
Nov 2011 64000 50 The steel cable that connects to the power window regulator frayed and snapped. This caused the driver side window to fall into the door. The motor assembly and cable come as one piece and had to be replaced. 
Sep 2012 68000 147 The car was making a grinding sound when rolling out of park. The brake fluid turned out to be very worn. The brake lines were flushed and refilled which seems to have fixed the problem. 
Nov 2012 69000 1000 The valve body in the transmission is starting to stick, causing the transmission to shift erratically or not at all. Chose not to repair and will probably be getting rid of this vehicle. 
Dec 2012 69000 0 Sticking valve body in the transmission.
