Consumer Description

THE STEERING ON MY 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA LS HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2002 WITH 5,000 MILES ON IT. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE IN THE FRONT END AND THE STEERING IS TERRIBLE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR FOR THE PROBLEM AND IT HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT WHATEVER IS LOOSE OR DEFECTIVE IN THE FRONT END IS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY AT SOME POINT. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES AND IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. *LA
