“I have been having a right front wheel sensor problem with my 2001 chevy Impala. I have had this replaced 3 times and they have lasted less than a month each time. The Chevrolet company has had no recall to finally solve the reason that it continues to go out. The problem affects my brakes and I have had close calls where my brakes grind and don't want to come to a complete stop when I need it to. I feel that this can ultimately be a dangerous issue as this is my main vehicle and I am on the interstate quite a bit. Thank you for your time.”

NHTSA complaint #10244594, filed 2008-10, 38,000 miles“Bolt holding the hub in place just fell out last year on the front driver side tire. This occurred when I was driving home from a relatives house on a busy road. Luckily, no crash. Bolt was replaced with a brand new one. 1 month ago today, the same bolt on the front passenger side fell out. No reason, just plain fell out. Driving home from picking up my son after work, no crash occurred. This is a huge risk and I fear driving the vehicle at any time because I have had multiple problems, but cannot afford another vehicle. 2001 Chevrolet Impala 3.4l.”
