Here are some of the most common Impala problems per model year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transmission Failure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Transmission problems have been reported in some units of the 2011 Chevy Impala. Owners report hearing a loud noise from the transmission before it failed. They also noticed stuttering and jerking as their vehicles slowed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2011-Chevrolet-Impala-LTZ-Chevrolet-Pressroom-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"2011 Chevrolet Impala LTZ Chevrolet Pressroom\" class=\"wp-image-46363\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2011-Chevrolet-Impala-LTZ-Chevrolet-Pressroom-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2011-Chevrolet-Impala-LTZ-Chevrolet-Pressroom-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2011-Chevrolet-Impala-LTZ-Chevrolet-Pressroom-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2011-Chevrolet-Impala-LTZ-Chevrolet-Pressroom-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2011-Chevrolet-Impala-LTZ-Chevrolet-Pressroom-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2011-Chevrolet-Impala-LTZ-Chevrolet-Pressroom-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2011-Chevrolet-Impala-LTZ-Chevrolet-Pressroom-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption> Transmission problems have been reported in some units of the 2011 Chevy Impala.

Steer clear of units that have slipping transmissions and have difficulty shifting gears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Impala with a serious transmission problem may need to have its entire transmission replaced or rebuilt. Repair work for this type of problem may cost as much as $2,970.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power Lock Malfunction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Power lock problems have been reported in some units of the 2008 Chevy Impala. Their locks may work intermittently or fail to operate completely. Replacing faulty components like the lock assembly, actuator, or sensor appeared to solve the issue in most affected vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heater Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some 2007 Chevrolet Impalas have had problems with the operation of their heater. One owner said his heater suddenly stopped working because of clogged lines. Mechanics speculate that low-quality antifreeze may have caused the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2006-2007-Chevrolet-Impala-Wikimedia-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"2006 2007 Chevrolet Impala Wikimedia\" class=\"wp-image-46362\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2006-2007-Chevrolet-Impala-Wikimedia-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2006-2007-Chevrolet-Impala-Wikimedia-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2006-2007-Chevrolet-Impala-Wikimedia-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2006-2007-Chevrolet-Impala-Wikimedia-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2006-2007-Chevrolet-Impala-Wikimedia-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2006-2007-Chevrolet-Impala-Wikimedia-150x85.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption> Some 2007 Chevrolet Impalas have had problems with the operation of their heater.

There are many possible causes for heater malfunction.

One owner attempted to solve the issue by having his Impala detailed, but it didn&rsquo;t solve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excessive Oil Consumption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some 2006 Impala owners have also had problems with their engine&rsquo;s excessive oil consumption. Drivers report not noticing any visible oil leaks, which suggests that the engine was burning it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/oil-pan\/chevrolet\/impala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"oil pan\">oil pan<\/a> is a common fix for this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passlock Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Passlock problems have been reported in some units of the 2002 Impala.
