2011 impala, shuddering into 2&3 gear. When at a stop I put the car in neutral then move back to drive as suggested for a temporary fix, but should I really be worried?

There is a button along side the gear shifter inside the shifter housing console, push it n it will release the shifter.
But check the wiring in there cuz mine was broken n that's why I couldn't get it to shift out of park

There’s a little button up under the key section to unlock the steering column, you have to take the plastics off in orde to get a good view, once the little button is pressed the key will unlock

Problems with ABS and control panel

Chevrolet Impala 2001  111732 miles
Hello, I have a 2001 Impala and sometimes, when I turn or when I go over a bumpy road, it makes a "runnn" noise and in the service center it turns on the traction control light and some other times the ABS light. TRAC OFF light stays on in the message center and a sort of radiator indicating the coolant level, and it doesn't go away. If someone has any idea to solve this problem or can recommend a place to take the car to, I'll appreciate it.

The problem with the TRAC OFF is caused by the locking hubs of the wheels, and sometimes it causes the ABS issue.
sandi from United States 11 years ago
Thanks for the support, I'll check!
sandi from United States 11 years ago
Hello everyone, I have just checked the front wheels of my Impala and I can tell that the wires going to the abs sensor are cut. I have the ABS and TRACTION OFF lights turned on all the time, but I don't think that is new, because part of the wire is missing and those lights were not turned on before. Could it be that maybe they can be disconnected? Thanks for your comments

Bumps when changing gears

Chevrolet Impala 2001  100000 miles
Both when I change gears and when I speed up, the car bumps. Have been told that the problem is in the engine's support.

Buddy you must have an electrical problem in the gearbox. It tends to bump when electrical failures present in this kind of transmission. You should scan your car to check whether some code error is provided.
ginger15 from United States 11 years ago
This happened to me and by changing the oil's pressure sensor of the gearbox everything was solved.

Most likely the torque converter or filter in the transmission. These transmissions are know for having a bad shudder affect. Have a complete transmission flush done... cheapest fix.

Similar problem in my 2012 Impala LT. On one side my drl and side marker light don’t turn on but this is only when I remote start my car. When I turn the key in the ignition, all lights turn on and illuminate correctly.

Mine is the driver side. Can’t figure out.

As weird as this sounds try replacing with a new battery and see if it changes your situation. I found this solution on accident when working at a car lot. It's worked for me on a Chrysler PT cruiser, Saturn Vue, and a Saturn sedan so far.

Air conditioning not blowing cold air

Chevrolet Impala 2012 Impala LTZ 212000 miles
My mom's AC in her 2012 Chevy Impala LTZ isn't blowing any cold air. I flushed the old coolant out and put some new coolant yesterday, and I checked it today and it was empty so I added some more. I don't know if she has a slow leak or what.

Coolant has nothing to do with ac. The ac uses r134a Freon to cool the air inside the car and if her coolant is empty I would suggest that you do a pressure test on the cooling system to figure out where it is leaking

Jerking motion

Chevrolet Impala 2014 impala eco model 135000 miles
mainly when im decelerating car drops gears fast depending on how much pressure is applied to the break and will jerk 5 times in place if im slowing down (not stopping) and then applying the gas to accelerate (like it can't decide if it wants to auto stop or turn on)... will also auto apply breaks and turn itself off if im going 1mph and break calipers will open up if it turns back on from an auto stop

Dashboard lights, gears and doors problems

Chevrolet Impala 2000  157645 miles
Many of the interior lights are not working, windows go down at any moment and even the doors and gears lights do not turn on. The only lights that actually do work are the ones that indicate mileage in the dashboard, and the rearview and the headliner ones only when they want.
