Both headlights unexpectedly turn off while driving. Flicker on and off and then go off. Used to be able to let the car sit a few hours and they would work again. Now 2 nights ago they went off while driving at night....won't come back on at all. Parking lights stay on, turn signals, and 4 way flashers still work, pull switch lever back for bright lights and both headlights work in bright mode as long as you keep holding back on the lever. this was an intermittent problem that no one has been able to figure out. have had it looked at several times and problem still exists. Replaced hazard flashers swithc, replaced mutlifunction switch, replaced headlights switch. Problem still exists. Now lights are off and won't come back on no matter what we try.....looking on the internet this IS huge problem for impala's covering alot of years, this IS a very dangerous issue when you loose your headlights totally at night while driving.......once they go out/off it doesn't matter if you stop, park, move, bang on them, wiggle wires and connectors, they may or may not come back on. So far, this time, ours are not coming back on......can't keep throwing money away to a dealer when they can't fix the problem either. They just want to start throwing parts at it and hopefully they finally fix it....that hasn't worked so far either.....

While driving the car the engine simply shuts off whether on the highway at 70 mph, on city streets at 40 mph or backing out of my driveway. Usually after waiting a few minutes it will restart. The problem began in february 2019 and has been ongoing. My mechanic has had the car multiple times and I have had the car towed to my mechanic 3 times making sure not to start the car. It has no codes stored to help my mechanic find the problem. They have tried several different things but as usually even when they kept it 2 weeks the car failed to stall on them when they test drove it. I have seen articles and even complaints on your website of this issue. This IS serious and dangerous and I cannot believe a recall has not been issued.

My sons chevy impala was in our driveway untouched for two days. When he got in it and turned the key to start the vehicle the intake manifold exploded and caused an engine fire. While online I found this has been a problem for years!!! Why hasn't this been addressed? He could have died. And if I wasn't in the yard to react and put the fire out my house could have gone up with it.

A total of 646,038 subject vehicles were sold during my 2001-2003, and the complaint and warranty data tabulated above apply to the total vehicle population.complaint reports alleging headlight outage represent slightly more that one-half of the total number of complaints and the balance are allegations of flickering and dimming.investigation disclosed the root cause of the malfunction to be wear of a contact plunger in the multifunction switch that may result in a temporary open circuit, with the plunger in a neutral position between high- and low-beam contact points.consumers consistently reported that manipulation of the switch handle on the steering column restores either high or low beam headlight function.no other potential safety related issues, e.g., fires or windshield wiper failure, were found to be related to this issue.the manufacturer recognized the subject headlight issues from failure and warranty reports, and issued a redesigned plunger in 2003. The manufacturer did not identify a defect requiring recall and remedy.odi has determined that the rates of occurrence, the failure mode and the real-world consequence of the alleged defect as compared to other similar investigations fail to identify a safety-related defect trend.this preliminary evaluation has been closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding that a safety-related defect does not exist.the agency may take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
