2007 Chevrolet Impala

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR ROUTINE MECHANIC WHEN THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE WORN FROM THE INSIDE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRED WERE RECENTLY REPLACED AND ONLY TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 7,000 MILES ON THE TIRES. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FAILURE AS CAUSED BY FAULTY SUSPENSION RODS. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER REGARDING THE REAR SUSPENSION AND THEY ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

VEHICLE PERFORMED POORLY OVER 35 MPH ON HIGHWAY WITH THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWAYING EXCESSIVELY DURING SNOWY OR WET CONDITIONS. THE TIRES ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE WORE PREMATURELY ON THE INSIDE . I PURCHASED FOUR SETS OF NEW BACK TIRES IN A SPAN OF 4 MONTHS AND HAD TO HAVE TWO ALIGNMENTS DONE AT SEPARATE TIMES BECAUSE THE FIRST DIDN'T INITIALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. IT CAME TO A POINT THAT I WAS FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE DURING SNOWY OR WET CONDITIONS IN FEAR OF CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE SPENT ROUGHLY $700 ON THIS ISSUE AND BELIEVE IT COULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED IF GM WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE PROBLEM INITIALLY. *TR

I HAD A DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE SUSPENSION. I HAD TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT AND NEW TIRES PUT ON THE VEHICLE. I COMPLAINED TO GENERAL MOTORS BUT THEY WERE ONLY REIMBURSING POLICE VEHICLES FOR PREMATURE REAR TIRE WEAR. *KB

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY IMPALA WITH BRAKE AND TIRE ISSUES. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS 2YRS OLD WITH ABOUT 32,000 MILES ON IT. IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING IT I HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES ROTORS DUE TO WARPING FOUR TIMES AND TIRES DUE TO POUNDING THREE TIMES. AFTER FILING A COMPLAINT WITH CHEVY ON THEIR WEB SITE AND GETTING NO RESPONSE AND SEEING OTHER WEB BASED COMPLAINT SITE WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, I AM SENDING THIS TO YOU. CHEVY TELLS ME THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY HARD BRAKING WHICH ISN'T THE CASE, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE SAME WAY FOR OVER 25YRS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO TRY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM I GAVE UP AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE WAY THAT IS FOR AWHILE NOW. RECENTLY BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE POUNDING SO MUCH AND THE BRAKES SHAKING SO MUCH AT HIGHWAY SPEED, IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AGAIN WHICH STARTED PULSATING AGAIN WITHIN A THOUSAND MILES OR SO. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER IMPALA OWNER AND HAVE HEARD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND CHEVY DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE. THIS CAN BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND REPLACING TIRES AND BRAKE IS ONLY A TEMPORARY CURE. CHEVY SAYS THAT I SHOULD DO A "ROAD FORCE BALANCE", AT $70 PER, EVERY 3,000 MILE TO CORRECT THE TIRE POUNDING ISSUE. THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE OTHER THAN TO NOT USE THE BRAKES I GUESS. *TR
