THE STIFF/TIGHT STEERING ON MY IMPALA IS CAUSING MY HANDS, WRIST, ELBOW, SHOULDERS AND BACK TO BECOME VERY PAINFUL FINGERS. MY FINGERS ARE BENT AND TWISTED TO FIT TO THE CONTOUR OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WITH THIS TIGHT STEERING THE TEXTURE ON THE WHEEL WEARS OFF AND THE OPERATOR HAS TO GRASP THE WHEEL HARDER TO TURN THE WHEEL. HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS AND GRIP WHEEL HARD TO TURN IT. GO TO WEB SITE HTTP://PHOTOS.YAHOO.COM/MIKETOMICH FOR VIEWS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH BENT FINGERS FROM SAME PROBLEM. POLICE OFFICERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME BENDING AND TWISTING. THIS BENDING AND TWISTING RESULTS IN ARTHRITIS. THE POLICE ALSO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WHEEL BEING TOO SMOOTH TO HOLD THE WHEEL (SAGINAW COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT). ALSO BAY COUNTY SHERIFF DEPTARTMENT DEPUTIES ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT BACK PAIN. REASON THEY HAVE THE BACK PAIN IS BECAUSE THE TORQUE THEY HAVE TO EXPERT ON THIS STIFF STEERING (WHICH IS MUCH MORE THEN IN THE PAST) TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL GOES DIRECTLY TO THE SMALL OF THEIR BACK IN THEIR HIPS, BECAUSE THE HIPS ARE SECURED TO THE SEAT BY THE SEAT BELT. THE SEATS ARE VINYL, AND THE EXCESSIVE TORQUE TRANSMIT TO THE SECURED PART OF THE BODY (THUS BEING THE BACK/HIP AREA). THE STEERING WHEEL TORQUE REQUIRED TO TURN THE WHEEL GOES FROM A STATE OF THE MUSCLES BEING RELAXED TO AND IMMEDIATE TAUNTNESS WHICH RESULTS IN A SHOCK LOAD TO THE JOINTS IN THE BONES. WHEN MAKING A TURN, THE TORQUES REQUIREMENT DOESN'T EASE UP, IT BECOMES HARDER TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL IN A TURN THUS MORE TORQUE IS REQUIRED. TO MAKE A TURN REQUIRES ONLY 90% TURN OF THE WHEEL. THIS LIMITED USE PROVIDES A BREAK DOWN OF THE FLUIDS IN THE SOCKET. ANY MINOR STEERING ADJUSTMENTS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD REQUIRE THE MUSCLES TO SNAP TO ATTENTION TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT...THUS THE SHOCK LOADING OF THE JOINTS AND MUSCLES. WHILE DRIVING MY IMPALA, I MADE 68 STEERING ADJUSTMENTS IN A ONE MILE OF LEVEL ROAD, WHICH MEANT I FLEXED ALL THE REQUIRED MUSCLES TO ATTENTION 68. DT

Consequence: Engine oil that drips onto the hot surface of the exhaust manifold may result in a fire.
Remedy: The remedy applied under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 did not adequately remove the safety risk. Under the improved remedy, dealers will replace the engines front valve cover and gasket. Vehicles that are covered by recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, or 15V-201 that have not yet received the original remedy will instead receive the improved remedy under the original recall number.

14V400000 · Electrical System:ignition
Jul 3, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.

04V090000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:delivery
Feb 24, 2004
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3800 V6 (L36) ENGINES AND CERTAIN DELPHI FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS, THE REGULATORS HAVE A MUCH HIGHER THAN USUAL RATE OF FUEL LEAKS. A LEAK CAN ALLOW FUEL TO ENTER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THROUGH A VACUUM LINE. IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START WHEN CRANKED, THE FUEL FROM THE LEAKING REGULATOR AND A MISTIMED SPARK CAN CAUSE A BACKFIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE BACKFIRE CAN RUPTURE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE RUPTURE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CAN DISPLACE A FUEL LINE, PULLING AN INJECTOR OUT OF PLACE, AND CAUSING A FUEL LEAK AND POSSIBLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS WITH IMPROVED DIAPHRAGMS. THE RECALL WILL BE CONDUCTED IN PHASED MAILINGS. PHASE 1 BEGAN ON JUNE 30, 2004, AND PHASE 2 BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
