2007 Chevrolet Impala wheels problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, A VEHICLE VEERED INTO HER LANE AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS IT SPUN AROUND INTO A CEMENT ROAD BLOCK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS RELATING THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V355000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK SORENESS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.”

“SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AS A USED AUTO ON JAN 24, 2012, I HAVE HAD 10 INCIDENTS OF TIRE PROBLEMS, AS LOW AIR, FLAT TIRE, ETC CAUSED BY WHEEL RIMS CORRODING CAUSING BEADS ON RIM AND NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE; HAVE REPLACED 30 LUG NUTS; AND GROUND RIMS APPROX 12 TIMES. AM TOLD THAT THE RAPID DETERIORATION OF THE RIMS TO CORROSION IS DUE TO ROAD SALT MIX USED ON LOCAL AND INTERSTATE ROADS. APPEARS THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR THIS AREA; FEAR IS WHEN A TIRE GOES, IT COULD BE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ALSO HAVE DISCOVERED THE ALUMINUM BODIES OF THE CARS ARE RUSTING MUCH QUICKER. MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS TODAY”

“WHEN MY CAR IS IN MOTION IN THE STREET, TURNING, BRAKING AND DRIVING SLOW MY TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON AND SAYS REDUCE ENGINE SPEED AND THE LIGHT FOR MY ENGINE COMES ON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND I DONT HAVE ANY INVOICES, ANY POLICE REPORTS NOR ANY INSURANCE CLAIMS”

“MY CAR STARTED HAVING THE TRACTION CONTROL COME ON ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WAS CRACKED-CHEVROLET SAID NOT THEIR FAULT, SO, I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THEN, IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS. IT STOPPED. THEN, STARTED UP AGAIN. TOOK TO THE CHEVROLET GARAGE WHO PUT IT ON THEIR TOTAL DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. TOLD I NEED BOTH BEARINGS ON THE FRONT. AT A $972.00 PRICE TAG FOR THIS, I BOUGHT THE BEARINGS AND HAD ANOTHER GARAGE PUT THEM ON AT A GREAT REDUCTION IN COST TO ME ON LABOR. NOW, IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. THE WHEEL SENSORS APPEAR TO BE FINE. NOW I NOTICE IT IS DOING IT A LOT MORE AND STARTING TO DO IT WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT CERTAIN TIMES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, AND, FOR ITS AGE, IT DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 60,000 MILES ON IT. (THE DATE THAT THAT I AM USING IN THE NEXT STEP HERE IT BEGAN IS THE DATE WHEN IT REALLY STARTED DOING ITS 'TRICKS' A LOT MORE).”

“TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SENSOR/LIGHT STAYS ON. WON'T RESET. HAD TO TAKE TO DEALER. THIS IS A KNOWN COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY/GM VEHICLES. TIRE PRESSURE WAS GOOD, ALL TIRES WERE GOOD (SET TO MANUFACTURER'S SPECS.)”

“I WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 85 AROUND 5;30AM AND JUST PASSING EXIT 20/NEW HOPE WHEN I HIT A HUGE POT HOLE IN THE ROAD ON THE FAR RIGHT LANE. AFTER HEARING A LOUD NOISE I PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT MY RIM WAS CRACKED OPEN ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE AND SLIGHTLY SLIT ON THE REAR RIGHT TIRE.”
