NHTSA Complaint #754130 — 2000 CHEVROLET IMPALA

ON MAY 15, 01 TOOK VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER IN REFERENCE TO THE HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM MY WHEELS. THEY FOUND RIGHT FRONT STRUT WAS BOTTOMING OUT AND COLLAPSING WITH HITTING BUMP AND LEFT FRONT HUB BEARING WAS ROARING. BOTH OF THESE WHERE REPLACED AT NO COST AS VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARANTY. I ASKED ABOUT THE REAR WHEELS AND WAS TOLD THEY WHERE FINE. ON THIS DATE NOVEMBER 05,01 ONLY 6 MONTHS LATER I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER IN MY AREA FOR THE SAME THING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS TIME THEY FOUND RIGHT REAR BEARING AND HUB WAS BAD. THIS WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF 544.60. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE I ONLY HAD TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE PAID ANYTHING HAD THIS BEEN FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE. I ALSO HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE AS THIS PROBLEM CAUSED MY TIRE TO BE CUPPED IN THE INSIDE AND THEREFORE I STILL HAVE THE HUMMING NOISE EVEN THOUGH PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. I HAVE TWO MORE WHEELS TO GO, ANY SUGGESTIONS?
