    Not the car I should have purchased

    The car has good performance until it hit 61,000 miles and all hell broke loose. I had to replace the transmission. Then at 71,000 miles the evaporators coil has a leak and the dealer wants to charge me $2460 to replace. So with the replacement transmission at 6500 and the evaporator coil the additional service cost is almost $9,000. This is ridiculous for a vehicle that only have been serviced by the dealer. I have owned 4 impalas since I started driving and left to drive Toyota’s and own a 2006 Jeep and all of these vehicles had over 200,000 miles with no major problems like this. I came back to Chevy and wish I have never did!!!!!!
