Consumer Description

CAR MAKES A POPPING NOISE FROM STEERING. THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD OCCASIONALLY BUT THEN GOES AWAY. THE STEERING WILL GET TIGHT THEN REALLY LOOSE. CAR FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ESPECIALLY OVER A BUMPY ROAD FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE LOOSE WHEELS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 78,800 MILES ON IT. THIS IS INSANE AND I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY A CHEVROLET! I HAVE KIDS AND FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THEM IN IT! I WRECKED THIS VEHICLE WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES AND THE WHEELS SQUEALED BUT DID NOT LOCK UP NOR DID IT STOP! BRAKES ARE FINE AND IN GOOD CONDITION NOT SURE WHY IT WONT STOP. HAS HAPPENED 5-8 TIMES AND CAR SLIDES! THANK GOD WE DIDN'T GET SEVERELY INJURED! IMPALA'S SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET IF U ASK ME. *TR
