NHTSA Complaint #10782216 — 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2009 AND IT HAD GIVEN ME PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE GAS SENSORS WENT BAD, THE DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF AND THE LOCKS WOULDN'T WORK. THAT WAS A $1000 BILL. THE TIRE SENSORS WENT BAD AND NOW THE LOCKS ARE GOING BAD AGAIN. EVER SINCE THEN, THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR, WHICH REGULATES THE HEAT OR RECIRCULATING AIR HAS CONSISTENTLY GONE BAD. I HAVE REPLACED IT THREE TIMES SO FAR AND TWO OF THE ACTUATORS HAVE GONE BAD AGAIN. IT MAKES A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND UNDER THE DASH WHETHER THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE CALLED CHEVY SO MANY TIMES, I REMEMBERED THE SCRIPT THEY READ TO YOU. THEY NEVER HELPED. IT IS A $200 REPAIR BILL EVERY TIME IT IS REPAIRED. I TRIED TO LET IT BURN ITSELF OUT AND IT LASTED OVER A YEAR. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT IS A PROBLEM ON 2004-2008 IMPALAS BUT THEY NEVER RECALLED IT. IT ALSO CAUSES THE AIR TO BLOW COLD IN THE WINTER. WHY WASN'T A RECALL DONE ON THESE VEHICLES.
