I just purchased a 2005 Impala from the dealership where I work. It was a one-owner vehicle that my dealership sold new. 3400 V6 engine with 24k miles.
The previous owner was picky. He had brought it in for service because the dash lights went out and the speed odometer had quit working, intermittenly. Our sercice department could not duplicate, therefore they could not diagnose. I think that's why the gentleman traded the vehicle
Coming home tonight, I had the battery light come on in the Message Center just briefly and the air bag light came on.
The battery appears to be about two years old. Could the battery be bad, the belt slipping due to age (despite the low mileage), or the alternator be weak?
Any suggestions as to where I should start?
