NHTSA Complaint #10414805 — 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA

PREVIOUSLY FILED COMPLAINT IN 10/2009 GM OFFERED $1000 VOUCHER FOR THE PROBLEM. TURNED VEHICLE INTO DEALER IN SEPT 2009. TOLD GM THAT I WOULD MAKE PAYMENTS UNTIL JAN 2010 AND TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO MAKING OUR 2008 IMPALA SAFE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY. THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR SAT AT DEALERS UNTIL MAY 2010 WHEN A COLLECTION COMPANY CALLED MY HOME AND I TOLD THEM THE STORY. THEY ASKED WHERE THE CAR WAS AND I TOLD THEM. THEY PUT ME ON HOLD AND CALLED THE DEALER TO CONFIRM. THAT DAY THEY WENT AND PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND STARTED SENDING COLLECTION NOTICES. I TOLD THEM CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SOLD AT AUCTION AND SENT ME TO A COLLECTION AGENCY FOR THE BALANCE OF $9700. THE CAR RESOLD TO AN UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMER IN NH. GM IS STILL TRYING TO COLLECT THE BALANCE AND HAS OFFERED A COMPROMISE $4800. THESE VEHICLES HAVE KILLED UNSUSPECTING CONSUMERS BUT DOCUMENTATION DOES NOT EXIST?? I AM SURE IF A STUDY WAS DONE ON ALL HIGHWAY /ACCIDENTS/DEATHS CONNECTED TO 2007 & 2008 IMPALAS, REAR TIRE WEAR WOULD BE WELL REPRESENTED. GM SHOULD SMELL THE COFFEE AND RECALL THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES. IT APPEARS TO BE A SPECIFIC FRAME RUN AND NOT EVERY CHEVY AND BUICK FRAME MANUFACTURERS IN THOSE YEARS. ALL POLICE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND RETROFITTED TO CORRECT THE REAR ALIGNMENT ISSUE PLEASE HELP PROTECT AMERICAN CONSUMERS AND FORCE GM TO MAKE THIS PROBLEM RIGHT! *TR
