BACK DRIVER PASSENGER DOOR IS STUCK. WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL, LOCKS DON'T UNLOCK MOST OF THE TIME AND DON'T LOCK AT ALL. ALWAYS HAVE TO LOCK MANUALLY. NEW STARTER REPLACED BUT STILL SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO START. KNOCKING NOISE IN DASH. FRONT PASSENGER HEATED SEAT DOESN'T WORK, WHEN THE HEAT BUTTON IS PUSHED THE LIGHT BLINKS AND TURNS BACK OFF.

ON MY FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS THE BRACKET THAT ATTACHES TO THE FRAME AND THE CONTROL ARM ITSELF HAS SNAPPED COMPLETELY OFF ON MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND YOU CAN TELL THAT THE WELD THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY HOLDING IT ONTO THE FRAME ITSELF WAS A WEAK POINT IN THE WHOLE CROSS MEMBER FRONT K FRAME AND I FOUND IT VERY DANGEROUS I HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO FIX THIS AND WAS WONDERING IF YOU GUYS HAD A RECALL ON IT AND ARE WILLING TO FIX IT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND VERY DANGEROUS I KNOW THAT I CANNOT HAVE IT REWELDED ON I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND ALMOST KILLED ME AS I WAS DRIVING.

I WAS DRIVING AND A COP WAS BEHIND ME AND HE TURNED ON HIS LIGHTS WHEN I NOTICED HIS I TRIED TO MOVE INTO THE RIGHT LANE, AND WHEN I STARTED TO CHANGE LANES MY DRIVER WHEEL LOCKED AND IT SOUNDED AS IF I HIT MY BRAKES AND THE COP HIT ME MY CAR SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND I HIT A TREE.

WE WHERE COMING HOME AND HEARD A LOUD SNAP ON MY RIGHT SIDE BY THE WHEEL AND AS WE REDUCE SPEED THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE TRACTION SENSORS WENT OFF THE CAR REDUCED SPEED DANGEROUSLY ON THE FRW WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND US AND HARD TO STEER... AND MOMENTS AFTER THE CAR SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ABOUT A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A FAILURE THAT SEEMED LIKE A FLAT TIRE. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION ADJUSTABLE LATERAL LINK CAME APART WITHOUT WARNING. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE PART WITH AN AFTERMARKET PART, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

I READ MY CAR HAS A RECALL ABOUT THE FRONT TIRES SUSPENSION AND LATELY, I BEEN HEARING A CLICKING NOISE ON MY FRONT TIRES WHEN I'M DRIVING OR TURN THE CORNERS OF SIDE STREETS.

I HEAR A HORRIBLE GRIND WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AFTER A STOP, CAR ALSO FELT LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO GO FORWARD CAUSING HESITATION IN LEFT HAND TURN - VERY DANGEROUS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAVE HAD IT TO MECHANIC MANY TIMES, EITHER THEY COULDNT FIND THE PROBLEM OR WOULD FIX THIS OR THAT AND THEN PROBLEMS RIGHT BACK WITHIN DAYS IF NOT HOURS. OCCASIONALLY GET SERVICE STABILITRAC AND/OR ABS LIGHTS, USUALLY LIGHTS WOULD CLEAR BY NEXT DAY WHEN I TOOK TO MECHANIC AND AGAIN THEY'D EITHER FIND NO PROBLEM OR TRY A FIX -STILL A PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO REPLACE WHEEL BEARING NEXT BUT FROM ALL FORUMS I'VE READ THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP PEOPLE EITHER, PROBLEM COMES RIGHT BACK, RECENTLY RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED COSTING $700 TO FIX, WITHIN 2 DAYS I HEARD THE GRIND, HAD HESITATION ON A...

IN THE RIGHT REAR SECTION OF CAR THERE IS A RATTLE ALL THE TIME.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY IMPALA AND DURING AN INSPECTION FOUND OUT THAT THE CLUNK I STARTED HEARING 2 WEEKS AGO WAS DUE TO A FRONT ALUMINUM SUB-FRAME CONTROL ARM MOUNT THAT BROKE. THE CAR HAD A SAFETY RECALL ON IT (RECALL 12V377) FOR FRONT CONTROL ARMS, WHICH WERE REPLACED, BUT THE NEW CONTROL ARMS ARE DEFECTIVE ALSO, CAUSING THEM TO BECOME MISALIGNED INSIDE THE SUB-FRAME CONTROL ARM MOUNTS, WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY RUBBED AND WORE THE ALUMINUM SUB-FRAME CONTROL ARM MOUNTS TO THE POINT WHERE IT BROKE. I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THIS. THE FRONT BUSHING IS A VERTICAL BUSHING DESIGN FROM GM THAT HAS BEEN NOTED FOR A VERY HIGH AND REPEATED FAILURE RATE, NOT JUST ON THE W-BODY CARS BUT ALSO ON MANY DELTA PLATFORM CARS SUCH AS CHEVY COBALT AND HHR, PONTIAC G5, SATURN ION. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN TO IT, EVEN THO THIS...

I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE CHEVY DEALER AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN AS INSTRUCTED, WE WERE TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME. BUT THEY DID HAVE TIME TO TRY TO SELL US SOME SERVICES FROM THEM. WHAT IS THE COMPANIES RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX OUR CAR? *TR

2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO GM RECALL 14299 AND 12104. *LD THE CONSUMER LEARNED OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND LOWER CONTROL ARM RECALL. HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THEY WOULD ONLY ADDRESS THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY OTHER RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH THE SUSPENSION. THE CONSUMER STATED FROM TIME TO TIME, WHEN SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, THERE WAS A NOISE SIMILAR TO THE TIRE RUBBING THE FENDER. *JB

IN OCTOBER I TOOK MY CAR TO SANDY SANSING IN PENSACOLA FL THE REPLACE THE KEYPAD TO MY CAR, BUT NOW WHEN YOU USE THE KEYPAD IT START TO TICKING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD WE TIME IT. THE TICKING LAST ABOUT 60 SECONDS AND THEN IT STOP WHEN EVER YOU USE THE KEY PAD TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE CAR IT MAKE THAT TICKING SOUND. IT THERE ANY THING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THIS. *TR

SUSPENSION PROBLEM

WE PURCHASED THE IMPALA IN APRIL OF 2013 WITH 35,408 MILES ON THE CLOCK, WE DROVE IT AROUND TOWN THEN WE TOOK IT ON A TRIP TO CALIFORNIA FROM LAS VEGAS A FEW MONTHS LATER, WHEN WE WHERE ON THE WAY TO CALIFORNIA ON A NOT SO STEEP DOWNGRADE WE HIT THE BRAKES AT ABOUT 70MPH TO SLOW DOWN THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY SIDE TO SIDE LIKE THE FAMOUS 'DEATH WOBBLE' BUT WE ONLY SLOWED TO ABOUT 60MPH. ON THE WAY BACK IT DID IT AGAIN THIS TIME WENT FROM 70 TO 67 MPH, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MY ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED AND GAVE ME THE DEALER COLD SHOULDER.. I REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND ALL 4 NEW TIRES AS OF TODAY AND IT STILL DOING IT, WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND SAME THING, THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE OVER...
