I have a 2002 Impala and have had issues with the pass-lock system for a long time. When I first bought it, the doors would unlock or lock as we were driving down the road, on their own. Also, because of this issue, the battery would not last long, normally a couple of day. We had it in the dealership for a couple months on and off and they eventually said that the key fobs were bad and/or the batteries were going dead. They replaced the batteries and fobs and the problems went away for quite some time. Now I've got a new problem where the car just plain won't start. For some reason the OEM security function is setting off the starter kill. I bought new batteries for the fobs, still happened. I removed the batteries from the fobs all together, still happens. I am currently trying to figure out what is causing this new issue with the starter kill.
Yes I believe that Chevy Impalas are grandma cars!

depends, most do
They do not.
All SS Chevy Impalas' had the LT1.
Air in the system. Bleed the system. Defective thermostat, clogged radiator, defective cooling fan or fan clutch.

All the Impalas were totaled or not worth saving.
If it stays on there is a problem with the charging system. Most likely a defective alternator.
depending on the year some impalas have 6 inch glasspacks
