Consumer Description

MY CHEVY IMPALA BEGAN SHAKING WHEN I ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN ON THE FREEWAY FROM SPEEDS OF 55-65 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES, BRAKES, AND BALANCED, ALIGNED, ROTATED AND THE SHAKING HAS NOT STOPPED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU NEED TO COME TO A QUICK STOP BECAUSE WHEN YOUR CAR SHAKES LIKE IT'S FALLING APART YOUR FIRST INSTINCT IS TO LET GO OF THE BRAKE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE COME TO DISCOVER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET IMPALA'S. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP DUMPING MONEY INTO A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. *TR
