NHTSA Complaint #10396569 — 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA

I AM EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE INSIDE TIRE WEAR ON MY REAR TIRES AND APPARENTLY IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2008 IMPALAS. I SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE OBVIOUSLY NOT IN THIS COUNTRY, AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO INSPECT MY CAR. I THEN SPOKE TO A SERVICE MANAGER WHO DENIED ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS. HE THEN LET IT SLIP THAT A MODIFICATION OF THE STRUTS WAS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE REAR AND THAT GM WOULD NOT COVER IT. THEY WILL HOWEVER REPAIR POLICE IMPALAS AT NO CHARGE. I DECLINED TO PAY ONLY TO BE TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR ANYWAY, KIND OF LIKE ADDING INSULT TO INJURY. WHEN WILL ACTION BE TAKEN TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS DUE TO BLOW OUTS; WHICH APPARENTLY HAVE OCCURRED? NOT EVERYONE LOOKS UNDER THEIR CAR TO INSPECT THE TIRES AND THIS WEAR IS NOT VISIBLE OTHERWISE. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS NOT FAZED IN THE LEAST THAT I MIGHT BUY ELSEWARE, HER COMMENT THAT IS YOUR CHOICE ,SO MUCH FOR SERVICE. *TR
