NHTSA Complaint #10208532 — 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA

THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHENEVER I MADE A HARD TURN IN MY CAR - BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT, AS WELL AS A FEELING THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS LOOSE. ALSO, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WOULD MOVE BY TOUCH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE NEW TIE RODS BECAUSE THEY WERE LOOSE. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE IMPALA. WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BE INSTITUTED IF THE DEALER IS REPAIRING MORE THAN ONE INSTANCE OF THIS PROBLEM PER WEEK? *TR
