Consumer Description

ROTORS WARPED AT 16,054 MILES. DEALER RESURFACED ROTORS AND SANDED PADS. ROTORS WARPED AGAIN AT 29502 MILES. DEALER REPLACED BOTH FRONT ROTORS AND PADS. AT 38735 MILES I TOOK CAR TO DEALER WITH COMPLAINT OF A BUMPING SENSATION IN THE STEERING MOSTLY WHEN TURNING. SER. MGR. REPORTED THAT IMPALAS HAVE HAD INTERMEDIATE STEERING PROBLEMS, BUT MECHANIC REPORTEDLY FOUND NO SUCH PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, HE FOUND THAT ROTORS WERE AGAIN OUT OF ROUND. ROTORS WERE RESURFACED AND PADS WERE SCUFFED. THIS DID NOT HELP THE BUMPING SENSATION IN THE STEERING. FEEL THAT CHEVROLET KNOWS THEY HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH ROTORS AND STEERING, BUT NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED TO ME.*AK
