2007 Chevrolet Impala complaints

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN LATE MARCH 2010. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MY CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. I HAD AT LEAST 3 INCIDENCES THAT I CAN REMEMBER, 1 OF WHICH WAS GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. FRIGHTENED, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY HOME. THE OTHER INCIDENTS WERE ON MAIN ROADS IN TOWN. THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. AFTER THE INTERSTATE ORDEAL, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO BEATY CHEVROLET IN KNOXVILLE, TN. THEY STATED THAT THE IGNITION WENT OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER GM OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. A RECALL DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE ISSUED SO NO MORE PEOPLE ARE PUT IN HARM'S WAY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ACCORDING TO AN OPERATOR NAMED [XXX] AT GM WHEN I CALLED A FEW MINUTES AGO TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE CURRENT RECALL REGARDING THE KEY/FOB TURNING ISSUE. SHE STATED THAT THE RECALL HAD NOT YET BEEN ISSUED REGARDING MY ISSUE AND THAT I NEEDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOUR DEPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS KNOWN ISSUE IS BEING SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY THE BIG CORPORATION AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY. I DESERVE A FULL REFUND FOR "FAULTY" MANUFACTURED PARTS. LUCKILY, MY FAMILY NOR I WERE INJURED DURING THE LISTED INCIDENTS LISTED ABOVE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2007 CHEVY IMPALA WILL HAVE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THE WARNING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" WILL COME ON, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

TOOK IT INTO A CHEVY DEALER AND IT DOESN'T ACT UP FOR THEM. AND FOR WHATEVER REASON THEIR COMPUTER DOESN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES.

BOUGHT 2007 IMPALA NEW. HAVE REPLACED REAR TIRES 6 TIMES DUE TO CAMBER ISSUE. IMPALA IS DESIGNED WITH NO ADJUSTMENT FOR CAMBER ON THE REAR SUSPENSION. TIRES WEAR ON THE INSIDE AT A FAST RATE. NOTHING IN THE TRUNK TO CAUSE WEIGHT ISSUES, STANDARD HIGHWAY DRIVING ON A DAILY BASIS. TIRE SOUND IS HORRIBLE AND INCREASES WITH SPEED. FIRST SET OF TIRES REPLACED AT 9,000 MILES. GM RECALLED POLICE MODELS OF THE IMPALA TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT NOT IMPALAS THAT WEREN'T POLICE MODELS. SO GM KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION CAUSING EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR BUT WON'T PERFORM A RECALL. MY WIFE WOULDN'T EVEN DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID TIRES WOULD BLOW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. 6 SETS OF TIRES ON A VEHICLE WITH 90,000 MILES IS ABSURD. I FINALLY HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER SHOP INSTALL AFTERMARKET CAMBER ADJUSTING BOLTS AND GET AN ALIGNMENT TO FIX THE ISSUE. SHOP I DEALT WITH SAYS THEY'VE BEEN PERFORMING THIS REPAIR ON IMPALA'S SINCE MID 2007. $20 FOR THE BOLT KIT AND $80 FOR THE ALIGNMENT. $100 TO FIX AN ISSUE (NOT INCLUDING TIRE REPLACEMENT COSTS) AND GM WON'T OWN UP TO IT. THIS IS A BASIC DESIGN FLAW THAT GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF, WITH NO ACTION BEING TAKEN ON THERE PART. *TR
