Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A '16 IMPALA LS2 WITH 37K MILES, AFTER OWNING IT FOR A WEEK, I CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE ON THE SPARE TIRE TO FIND THE TRUNK WITH ABOUT 4" OF WATER IN TRUNK, THE DEAL REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT GASKETS AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE SINCE. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND JUST OVER 10K MILES, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE SMALL TOWN I LIVE IN AND MY POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING AND "POWER STEERING FAILURE" NOTE POPPED UP. THANKFULLY GOT PULLED OVER SAFELY, TURNED CAR OFF, WAITED 30 SEC., RESTARTED THE CAR AND STILL NO POWER STEERING. WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER SHIP WHERE I BOUGHT CAR, I WAS FORTUNITE THAT I WAS ONLY 200 YARDS FROM DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP CALLED AFTER HAVING CAR FOR ABOUT 4-5 HOURS AND THEY CANT FIND ANY PROBLEM!!! I SURE HOPE THAT THEY DO FIND SOMETHING AND THEY FIX IT. MY "CERTIFIED" WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE IN ABOUT 2500 MILES AND I DON'T WANT THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET WHEN THIS IS CLEARLY AND ISSUE ON THESE ELECTRONIC STEERING MODULES.
