2007 Chevrolet Impala

ON 9/08/09 I WENT TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER TO REPAIR 2 SLOW LEAKS IN MY TIRES. I WAS ADVISED THE TIRES BADLY NEEDED ALIGNED. ON 9/09/09 I GOT MY ALIGNMENT. THE REPAIRMAN ADVISED ME THE TIRES WERE ALL WORN BADLY, AND I NEEDED NEW ONES BEFORE WINTER.AT THAT TIME MY MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 16,900 MILES. ON 11/02/09 I BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES FOR A COSDT OF $425.79 OUT OF NECESSITY FOR UPCOMING WINTER DRIVING. I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY ODD THAT I NEEDED NEW TIRES ON THE IMPALA THAT I HAD PURCHASED TWO YEARS AGO, BUT I TRUST MY TIRE MAN, SO I DID NOT QUESTION WHAT HE TOLD ME I NEEDED TO DO. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS AGAIN, SO NOW I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHTHER I NEED NEW TIRES AGAIN ALREADY DUE TO THIS GM PROBLEM OF DEFECTIVE SPINDLE RODS, WHICH CONNECT THE SUSPENSION TO THE REAR WHEELS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE!!! *TT

THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT MY 2007 CHEVY IMPALA. ON 3/31/10 I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY COMING BACK FROM FLORIDA WHEN MY REAR TIRE STARTED LOOSING AIR. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND FOUND A TIRE REPAIR SHOP IN BARNESVILLE GA. THEY LOOKED AT MY BACK TIRES AND BOTH WERE WORN ON THE INSIDE AS THOUGH MY REAR END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. I HAD TO GET 2 NEW TIRES FOR THE BACK. THE ORIGINAL TIRES HAD 37,000 MILES ON THEM. COST OF THE NEW TIRES WERE $296.23. THEN WHEN I GOT BACK HOME I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER WHERE THEY SAID I NEEDED A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AT A COST OF $89.95. I RECENTLY READ IN THE PAPER THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE SPINDLE ROD THAT THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT. *TR

MY 2007 IMPALA TIRES WORE OUT PREMATURELY. I NOTICED THE TIRES STARTING TO WEAR OUT ON THE INSIDE AT ABOUT 6,000 MILES AND HAD THE TIRES ALIGNED AND ROTATED. THE TIRES CONTINUED TO WEAR OUT ON THE INSIDE. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF LUCK CHEVROLET AT ABOUT 32,000 MILES AND THEY SAID GM WOULD NOT COVER THIS REPAIR UNDER THE WARRANTY. HOWEVER THEY DID SAY THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND A KIT COULD BE INSTALLED TO CORRECT. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND HAD GOODYEAR INSTALL THE CAMBER KIT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I SPENT $800 FOR NEW TIRES WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND THE CAMBER KIT. *TR

I HAD A COMPANY CAR, 2007 IMPALA THAT WAS WEARING THE TIRES UNEVENLY. I WENT THROUGH SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM. I THOUGHT THAT THE TIRE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT DOING A GOOD JOB HOWEVER JUST NOTICED THAT THERE IS LAWSUIT STATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SPINDLES. MY FATHER, NOW OWNS THE VEHICLE. AND WANT TO BRING THIS TO THE NHTSA ATTENTION AS WELL AS TO BE NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AS MY FATHER IS NOW DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
