SUSPENSION
WE ARE GETTING READY TO HAVE TO REPLACE OUR THIRD SET OF TIRES. WE BOUGHT OUR IMPALA NEW AND REPLACED OUR FIRST SET OF TIRES AT FEB. 2010 (38,000 MILES). REPLACED AGAIN AT 54,000 MILES DEC. 2011. REPLACED AGAIN AT 65,000 NOV. OF 2012 AND IT IS IN NEED OT NEW REAR TIRES AGAIN AT 72,000. CAR SHAKES AND BACK END SLIDES IN BAD WEATHER. SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATES THAT IT NEEDS A CAMBOR KIT. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT CHEVROLET PRODUCED A FAULTY SUSPENSION ROD AND RECALLED "POLICE OWNED" VEHICLES BUT NOT CONSUMER VEHICLES. DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN VEHICLE OR ALLOWING MY 16 YEAR OLD TO DRIVE IT. MY CAR IS ALIGNED AND TIRES ROTATED AND SERVICED FREQUENTLY! TIRES WEAR DOWN TO METAL STICKING OUT OF TIRES AND INNER WEAR IS INCREDIBLE. LEFT TIRE BEHIND THE DRIVER IS THE QUICKEST TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND BEGIN TO CAUSE CAR TO SHAKE. SECONDLY, REAR DOOR AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS QUITE WORKING AFTER 2 YEARS OF OWNING CAR. HOW DO I BECOME PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. *TR

SEATS
DURING A LONG TRIP I HAD MY HEATED SEATS ON HIGH. I HAD HURT MY BACK AND THE HEAT HELPED KEEP THE BACK MUSCLE LOOSE. I HAD REMOVED MY COAT, BUT STILL HAD A LONG SLEEVE SHIRT ON. NO BARE SKIN WAS TOUCHING THE SEAT. AFTER ABOUT 8 HOURS ON THE ROAD, I STARTED FEELING DISCOMFORT ON MY LOWER BACK LIKE A SUN BURN. I SHOWED MY WIFE AND SHE SAID I HAD 2 LARGE (SIZE OF HALF DOLLAR) BLISTERS ON MY LOWER BACK. I HAD NO IDEA THIS COLD HAPPEN FROM A HEATED SEAT. THERE IS N WARNING I COULD FIND THAT STATES THIS COULD HAPPEN . MY HEATED SEATS DO NOT TURN OFF, THEY STAY ON UNTIL YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAVE PICTURES TAKEN 9 DAYS AFTER INCIDENT. THE AREAS STILL HAVE SKIN MISSING. *TR
