AFTER REVERSING, THEN WHEN ACCELERATING OUT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, MY CAR MAKES A GRINDING NOISE, I CAN FEEL IT IN MY ACCELERATOR AND I LOSE POWER, MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON, SOMETIMES MY BRAKE ASSIST, ABS, AND STABILTRAK LIGHTS COME ON TOO... IF I BACK OFF AND TRY AGAIN I CAN THEN ACCELERATE OUT AND PROCEED AS NORMAL, HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, HARD TO DUPLICATE, MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE IF I NEED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF A TURN THEN I WILL NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SO. I WANT TO TAKE IT IN TO SEE IF IT NEEDS A REPAIR, BUT BY READING FORUMS, MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY IMPALA AND HAVE PAID HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO GET DIFFERENT THINGS FIXED, AND IT DOESN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE. STARTED 3 WEEKS AGO, AND HAS HAPPENED MANY TIME IN THAT 3 WEEKS. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 85,000 MILES ON IT. I USE TO LOVE MY IMPALA, NOW JUST WANT TO GET RID OF IT.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND PROCEED TO DRIVE . THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND I HEAR A RUBBING NOISE. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THEY DON'T BELIEVE THE WHEEL HUB OR BEARINGS IS BAD. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER IMPALA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS 78,000 MILES AND MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHEVROLET BY A RECALL. ASAP I AM NEEDING TO DRIVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY OF ROUND TRIP MILES OF 4,000. VERY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR , AFRAID THAT IT IS THE BEARING AND WILL LOCK UP ON ME ON THE FREEWAY. PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE ASSIST AND STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. A GRINDING NOISE CAN BE HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT-LEFT WHEEL. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP OR MAKING LEFT TURNS FROM A DEAD STOP. I HAVE GOTTEN BOTH HUBS REPLACED AND IT STILL IS HAPPENING. *TR
