NHTSA complaint #10644194, filed 2014-10, 31,000 miles“The rear tires are wearing terribly on the inside. Significantly more so than any other part of the tires. I had a rear end alignment done on the car, and it was no help at all. I then replaced the tires at 40,000 miles and the same thing is happening. After researching, I found that many police Impala's have this issue, but mine is having the exact same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10280055, filed 2009-08, 27,000 miles“Vehicle performed poorly over 35 MPH on highway with the rear of the vehicle swaying excessively. The tires on the back of the vehicle wore prematurely. I had a dealership look at the vehicle and there was no damage to vehicle suspension. I had to have an alignment and new tires put on the vehicle. I complained to general motors but they were only reimbursing police vehicles for premature rear tire wear.”
