Does anyone here own a 2007 Impala.

[funboy6942]

Part 1, may not be safe for work because at the end I call the car a piece of sh1t.
Also in the video we call it a Monte Carlo, its a Impala.

Video of with the windows going closed. SFW, no bad words.

If you own this car please let me know if you get the same results.
At 65-70 mph if you just roll the back 2 windows down there is a huge pulsating surge or wind pressure as though you have a 2000 watt subwoffer going off in the car. At least in the car I was in, it was massive, so bad in fact it almost blew out my ear drums, and the headliner was boucing up and down I thought it was going to come right off. But when you roll the windows up it goes away. Just the back windows only, leaving the front ones closed.

I am just wondering if any other owners of this car have the same problem or is it just the one car I was in. If you own the car and havent tried this, all you have to do is hit 65-70 mps and roll both back windows down and get ready for some mind blowing head pounding, if indeed all these cars have a design flaw or its just the one car I happen to been in.

Curious to know, please advise if you would
TIA

I have experienced that in tons of cars, usually occurring when only the rear windows go down.

 

[bctbct]

LeSabre does the same thing.

You're screwing with the aerodynamics when you open the windows. Some cars get it worse than others.

I have never in my life ever come in to this kind of a situation, I have had some air pressure differance but I mean this was violent, and in no way pleasent at all. It was the worst and I was not exaggerating in the least how I worte it up top there, it litterally had the whole cabin in a uproar, even if you yelled you were only hear some of the words because it was a loud, boom-boom-boom-boom with the headliner boucing up and down and your ears poping with the booming, truly as if you had a massive 15" 2000 watt subwoffer right there in the back seat volume set to max, it was horrible.

I have bought and sold cars all my life, I have owned almost eery car you can think of made in between 1960-1990, and never in my life, have any of them had working factory air, or have I heard such a rucus from having just the back windows open from any car I have ever owned. If it was my car and I just bought it, NO FVCKING WAY would I put up with that, and would of demanded my money back, right away or brought it in 3 times and had it go through the lemon law to be rid of it.

I know that it also happens in my 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP and 1999 Buick Regal GS. I can't remember what all other cars I've been in when that's happened, but I've always thought it to be really common.

<edit> Well, I've never seen the headliner move as a result, but I've definitely heard the deafening booms, felt the bursts, etc. Would probably be a fast way to go permanently deaf.

I tell you what, if what I heard is common to you all with new cars, your all lettling them shove it deep up your ass with a solid stick of SH!T and asking them to stick it in further. God forbid the ac ever went out and you had to roll the windows down in what you call is common. The whole interior vibrating, the headliner shaking and bouncing up and down with, I sh1t you not, a loud BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM going 70 mph with my ear drum wanting to just pop out of my ears. If you ever have to scream at the person next to you with the windows down at the top of you lungs, and they still cannot hear you over that noise, something is really wrong, and for people to buy these cars and pass it off as no big deal its normal, fvck that. They are getting away with big time murder, and no one is saying anything about it, so they keep building crappy cars that sound good with the windows up, really when that ac dies, your all fvcked, either windows down and do 50 or you get a headache, or windows up and die of heat exhaustion. I wouldnt put up with that if it was my car and just paid $20K+ for it.

Cracking either front window even a half inch will stop the buffetting.

 

[compuwiz1]

I used to have a Mercedes S class, which did a similar thing, when the back windows were lowered. I don't think this is an isolated problem, unique to Chevrolet.

Solution -- open the front windows, even just slightly. Noise and vibration goes away entirely. I did 75 down a highway today, with my front windows about 25% open, and my back windows completely open, and I would have been able to casually talk to a passenger in a "normal" voice. No abnormally loud wind or vibration. When I closed the front windows, however, before closing the rear windows, massive noise and vibration immediately resulted.

 

[chusteczka]

Yes, that buffeting is painful.
I get the extreme wind buffeting from the back window in my 2006 Chevy Cobalt, 4-door coupe.
This buffeting would upset me if I had purchased a higher model car like the Impala.

you are mentally retarded. first of all, no car is designed to go 70 mph with the windows down as it is a huge aerodynamic drag. also, no car, no matter how cheap or expensive it is, is not going to break the laws of physics. every car will do what you described (sans the headliner bit maybe). you are overreacting and know not of what you speak. do not pass go, do not collect $200.
edit: for good measure and stuff.

You are the retarded one telling yourself its normal and to live with it. I own a 88 Lincoln Town Car, and a 98 Jeep Cherokee, for the time being, I can roll both back windows down in them, go down the highway and get no noise, vibration, ear popping, nothing but wind noise all the way to 90 MPH. I can think of many times in all the cars I have owned where the ac didnt work, because I buy cheap used cars, where it would be raining, and so not to get a shower, you are only to roll the back windows down. In this car if rolled down just slightly it would make the noise. Thats bull Sh1t.

Sorry but your the retard if you want to tell yourself its normal and all cars do that. NONE of the 300+ cars I have ever owned rolling the back windows down did anything near as bad as what this car does, it is unacceptable, IMO, for any car, to make that kind of ruckus and for you to say its normal and deal with it is sooo wrong.

I think you need to go drive this car to understand the severity of what I am describing before you going being a asshat calling a person a retard. I can understand some wind and pressure noise, but this is crazy, and rolling the front windows down a crack should be a fix, you should be able to roll the back windows down without touching the fronts if need be and not have happen what happens with this car. I wish I can find the video file I took with my camera so someone would post it, Im going to look harder for it later when I get back from the doctors.

 

[slag]

Happens in my infiniti I30.

This is not a GM thing.. Its an aerodynamic thing.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Yeah, same thing happens in my '05 CRV. Just crack a front window a tiny bit.

Dill hole I wasn't always in a wheelchair :disgust:
I became disabled in 2002, prior to that I was buying and selling cars on my own since the age of 14 and on my fathers used car lot till he died of cancer in 1993, and just kept buying and selling cars and still do today just not nearly as often as I used to due to not being able to work on them like I used to.

 

[iamwiz82]

Monte Carlos are coupes. They have back windows that go down?

 

[b0mbrman]

The worst I've ever experienced was in my Nissan Maxima.

It sounded like death was coming for me any time I opened the back windows

Your right, my biological father said it was a Monty Carlo, but it was a Impala. I was getting confused, definitely a Impala then for sure even though he says and I repete Monte Carlo on the video.

 

[funboy6942]

You all need to see the video, and see if what I have described is anything even remotly close to what all you all have going on

please someone host them for me.
