Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Left (drivers side) rear door will not close after opening. When shut, the door bounces back open. After several attempts to close the door, it will close. When you get in and put the car into drive, the door will open and warning lights will come on telling you the left rear door is open. This has happened for about the past month. To the point now where I won't even open the door because there is no guarantee it will close again. This is a major safety issue, I have an infant that rides in the back of the car and a faulty door is not something I want to be worrying about.”
NHTSA complaint #10378296, filed 2011-01, 73,000 miles“The door handle to my 2007 chevorlet Impala was pulled loose while opening an unlocked door. The door handle became detached at the end where the key goes into the driver side door. It is now in a state where if someone wants to pull it out to break into the car, it is very easy to do.”
NHTSA complaint #10370335, filed 2010-12, 90,300 miles“2007 Impala drivers door handle broke under normal usage and was repaired under extended warranty but car has only 70000 miles. Also the rear tires are wearing out fast and unusual wear on the inside edges. This weekend had to replace tires again since steel belts were showing and local shop is stating they see this all the time on impalas. I have researched on line and see many complaints but no recall from GM.”
