What kind of problems have owners of the Impala SS experienced with their cars?
Unfortunately, the Impala/Caprice carline fell, and continues to fall victim to many quality control problems during it’s production. On a positive note, many of these issues can be easily resolved with a small appointment at the dealership. Armed with the following information, however, new owners will be able to inspect the car for the problems and have them fixed prior to delivery! So you’re lucky you’re here! You’re welcome! Some of the common service issues: * Misaligned body panels. Many new Impalas came with the body panels misaligned as much as 1/4 inch! A quick look at the tolerances on the tops of the doors where they meet the roof, the fenders where they meet the doors, and the closing and opening of all the doors should be all that’s needed to see if your Impala is crooked. The rear doors were the most common misaligned panel. Next came the passenger’s side fender. The best way to check the fender alignment is to look down the length of the car from the front then the rear.
