I have a 2012 chevy impala lt i was 21 when i bought it i still have it im 29 now and they car never Failed me When I hear that clicking noise that just let me know that it's alive. It still runs when i put it on the road And on cruise control. It Ride so smooth. I talk to my car and it talks to me ❤
I have a 2012 Chevy Impala high featured direct injection 3.6 305 horsepower off the floor I'm pushing about 340 horsepower just by opening up the exhaust eliminating the resonator cold air intake run an e85 change my oil every 2,000 miles every 20,000 on the tranny oil and the coolant I have no leaks no problems with the brakes no problems at all I see you have a older version get you a newer version at least a 2012 the car is a little beast I bought it with 52,000 miles on it I have 132,000 right now with no problems whatsoever much love to all 💯💯💯
I've got an 06 with the 3.5 and the 4 speed. 95k on it. Bought it for 4k and so far I've put pads and rotors, both front wheel bearings, unplugged the mode door so it's permanently in recirc mode and paid to have the oil filter adapter gasket replaced as it was leaking. I've got a small leak from the oil pan but not a large enough leak to worry about it. All in all its a solid little car. Pushrod v6 is hard to kill and it's comfortable to ride around in
I have the same car. Mine is the 06 Chevy Impala LTZ. It almost has 120,000 miles on it. I have that same Oil leak problem. It has a small leak. So I will have to check the oil every 3 weeks to a month. To see how much it needs. I only use Synthetic Oil in the Engine. Car runs smooth and engine purrs.
A big thing with these cars too are the flex pipe on your exhaust. The part leading from the manifold to the down pipe. Also plays a part because the engine mounts go bad on these cars notoriously.
I got the v6 and got no leaks, driven 90k so far too. Forgot to mention the ABS can be bad on the wire connection from the vehicle, not just the hub assembly
I had the previous generation 2005 Impala 3800.....Car became a money pit .....Had to replace transmission, went through three catalytic converters, intake manifold gaskets, power mirrors stopped working, gauges stopped working, rocker panels completely rusted away. The worst issue is that it developed a random parasitic electric draw.....The battery would randomly go dead on it. I could drive it for months with no problems and then one day I would go out and battery would be dead....I would jump start it and it would be fine for anywhere from a few days to months when it would go dead again. New alternator and batteries made no difference. I ended up carrying a booster jump pack in the trunk and had to use it on several occasions when battery would randomly go dead. I bought a 9th Gen 2017 Impala which has been a much better car so far than my 2005 was.
I got a free 2006 impala 3.5L with 201k miles on it😭. Only problems my friends dad said it had is that the oil pressure sensor is bad so it constantly says no oil pressure but the mechanic confirmed it does have pressure so thats good. The AC does not work and i do hear clicking from the climate control actuator, the one controlled by the knob that changes which vent the air comes out of, that will be a pain in the ass, but thats about it. i havent really inspected for leaks from any fluid, but i didnt see anything on the ground and he didnt mention anything about leaks. The car was free which will help with spending money to fix these little issues but i do think the engines oil has been changed regularly. Only things ill do for now, is replace the oil pressure sensor, that climate control vent actuator, the gas cap, and change all the fluids. If the transmission oil doesnt look completely black or smell to bad ill drop the pan or plug or whatever and change that too. I’ll also inspect the brakes, and everything i can. Impala is a pretty solid car, rides comfortable for its age and mileage ill give it that
I just replaced my oil pressure sensor and actuator today. No more dash beeping at me constantly. The actuator wasn’t too bad, took me bout a little more than half an hour. Most annoying thing was trying to move the wire harnesses out the way, trying to get the clips in a tight uncomfortable space lmaoo. For the AC, when i push the button it flashes 6 times and turns off. It wont let me engage the AC compressor. Most likely it just leaked all the refrigerant out somewhere, disabling the AC system so it doesn’t damage itself. so ill charge it up with some UV dye.
I've had to replace the Oil Pressure Switch multiple times during the past 3.5 years. An "oil pressure low, stop engine" warning displays and a beeping doesn't stop when the switch doesn't work.
08 impala LTZ with 154k miles on it for 2400? Haven’t checked it out in person yet but dealership said it has a rough noise while driving? Is that any of these problems? Is it worth to buy and last for around 2-3 years? Need help asap
I had a 13 for like 7 years and my god towards the end it was so bad. I wasn’t about to spend all that money or do all that work so I just got another car.
Cant lie the Chevy impala is a classic in the hood😂😂😂
Real talk😂🤣😂
Aye I’m from Miami this our car period we finna fix dem up and ride TF out
This version of the Impala or the low riders?

@@4mikeydYeah, the 3.9 liter sounds really nice when it's in good working order. You can't beat an old pushrod V6.

Nice, this will come in handy when I buy my Impala

I have a real Impala....
A 1971 Impala.
400 small block and a turbo hydramatic transmission.

Mine is an 09 3.5 v6. Has 148xxx miles and never leaked or had major issues. It's all about how you take care of your stuff
Leaks? Yes! Oil filter adapter gasket. Crankshaft pulley oil seal. Transmission fluid line fittings. Don’t forget to change the cabin air filter!
How you get Christopher Walken to narrate this video?

To fix the AC is not that hard. once i located and got the new actuator, removing and replacing only took about 10 minutes.

Got the same problem I just ignore it lmao
I got the Chevy Impala 2006 I'm 21 and been working on it for 8 months
I've got an 06 Impala and it recently started making noise when turning the wheel.
@@Discovery_and_Change probably ball joint or sway bar link, pull a front tire off and poke around
How’s it going now, after a year?
Click click click. Vent door actuator

Yep my 2007 was leaking engine oil and transmission, cause my motor mounts to go bad. Had my shi rattling at high speed
What year is your Impala here?
A lie I have one for 13 years no problems
I had a 13 for like 7 years and my god towards the end it was so bad. I wasn’t about to spend all that money or do all that work so I just got another car.
yeah these don’t do well under pressure especially if you don’t maintain them
that is mintttt
Good and bad in all cars.
Rear main ceal is the worst
and where in FRESH MEDOWS ARE YOU
Sounds like a Nightmare 😢
