Consumer Description

WHEN I START DRIVING ON LOCAL STREET EACH MORNING, I MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE CAR MAKES A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST, & ABS LIGHT ALL COME ON. THEY ALSO GO ON & OFF WHEN I GO OVER SPEED BUMPS MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOL WILL COME ON AND I WILL BE STUCK TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND A FEW TIMES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN A TIMELY FASHION. I HAVE GONE ON CHEVY IMPALA FORUMS LOOKING FOR OTHER DRIVERS WHO MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ARE THERE ARE A GOOD NUMBER OF THEM. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. IT STILL HAPPENS.
