I HAVE A 09 CHEVY IMAPALA AND MY CAR MAKES THIS AGGRAVATING TICKING NOISE WHEN I ENTER MY CAR WHEN I CRANK UP THE CAR WHEN IM OUTSIDE AND TOUCH HE CAR IT TICKS FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO. IT ALSO TICKS WHEN I HAVE TO TURN THE AIR ON FOR THE DRIVER SIDE I HAVE TO LEAVE THE TEMP OR HOT AND WHEN THE TICKING STOPS COMPLETLY ( THERE IS TWO REPS OF IT) THEN I CAN MOVE IT TO THE COLD SIDE.

SINCE ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I OWNED THIS CAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING TIRE WEAR PROBLEMS AND NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK IT WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD IT WAS THE BRAKES STICKING AND THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THESE BRAKES ON THIS MODEL. SO I LET IT GO ONLY TO GET WORSE SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAYS BOTH CONTROL ARMS ARE LOOSE A THE BUSHINGS ARE BAD AND HAVE TO BE REPALCED. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL OF POLICE CARS I THINK YOU MAY NEED TO LOOK AT EXPANDING THIS. I ALSO ONLY HAVE 38300 MILES ON THIS CAR AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE SUSPENSION PARTS ON A CAR THIS EARLY.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES ON THIS CAR FOR THE THIRD TIME,THIS CAR HAS 30,000 MILES AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO HAVE TIRES 3 TIMES.THERE SEEMS TO BE QUITE A LOT OF 2009 IMPALAS WITH THIS PROBLEM.THE FRONT TIMES WEAR ON THE OUT SIDE AND INSIDE.THE BACK TIRES ARE LIKE NEW.THE FIRST SET OF TIRES HAD 10,000 MILES ON THEM, THE SECOND SET HAD 12,000 MILES ON THEM.THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES THE FIRST TIME AFTER A LOT OF ARGUMENT .I HAVE FOUND 37 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. GM HAS REPAIRED THE PROBLEM ON THE 2009 IMPALA POLICE CARS,SO THAT IS AN ADMISSION OF A PROBLEM.THEY HAVE NOT EXTENDED THIS FIX TO THE OTHER BUYERS OF THE 2009 IMPALAS.MY CAR ALSO HAD SEVERAL RECALLS FOR OTHER PROBLEMS. I AM NOW WAITING FOR THE IGNITION REPAIR TO BE FIXED. I HAVE BEEN A GM BUYER FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING. *TR
