| 2007 | STEERING | INTERMEDIATE SHAFT IN STEERING SHAFT FAILED. IT CAUSED A CLUNKING OR KNOCKING FEEL AND SOUND. CHEVY DEALER SAID IT WAS A "CHRONIC PROBLEM" WITH THE IMPALA. FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE COST ABOUT $300.00. ALSO ROTORS IN FRONT WARPED PREMATURELY. ANOTHER "KNOWN PROBLEM". POWER STEERING UNIT OR SERPENTINE BELT SQUEALS. CHEVY DEALER SAID IT'S" NORMAL" ? *TR |
| 2012 | STEERING | I RECENTLY READ THAT GENERAL MOTORS ISSUED A RECALL AUGUST 3, 2012 FOR 2008 - 2012 CHEVROLET IMPALAS CONCERNING THE SUSPENSION. RECALL # 12V377000 CONCERNS THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS WHICH, ACCORDING TO THE RECALL MAY FRACTURE. A FRACTURED LOWER CONTROL ARM CAN RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS RECALL, ACCORDING TO GM, ONLY APPLIES TO POLICE VEHICLES. I AM WRITING THIS MESSAGE TO YOU TO ASK WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE POLICE VEHICLES FROM THE NON POLICE VEHICLES WHICH WOULD EXCLUDE THE NON POLICE VEHICLES FROM THE RECALL. IS THIS THE SAME TYPE OF SITUATION AS THE GM RECALL REGARDING 2007 - 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA CONCERNING DEFECTIVE SPINDLES IN WHEELS WHICH GM IS TRYING TO LIMIT TO POLICE VEHICLES ONLY BUT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO APPLY TO ALL CHEVROLET IMPALAS? THANKS, *TR |
