Example complaints

“We where coming home and heard a loud snap on my right side by the wheel and as we reduce speed the car starts to shake violently and the traction sensors went off the car reduced speed dangerously on the frw with traffic behind us and hard to steer... And moments after the car shut off.”
NHTSA complaint #11291383, filed 2019-12, 160 miles“I was driving home from work and the car started acting like it was uneven. I got to where I could pull over and found a balloon growing out of the side of my tire. The car is not that old and the tires in my past Impala's have lasted much longer. I am not happy with this. I had to call someone to help me so that it didn't explode and cause more damage.”
NHTSA complaint #10525706, filed 2013-07, 54,000 miles“I continue to have problems with my front left hub after replacing. I have replaced the wiring harness as well. Wondered if there are service bulletins with this same issue. While driving the car it makes a horrible grinding noise described to me as the hub adjusting the speed of one tire to match the other. It also flashes brake assist and stabilitrack issues as well as anti lock alert. This happens mostly turning left but most recently even while driving straight down the road.”
NHTSA complaint #10983097, filed 2017-05, 106,000 miles“My car has warn out two sets of tires on the rear . The still is showing . I have always known the front tires to ware out twice as fast as the rear. However, it is not happening with this Impala. For some reason the steel in the tires are always showing close to the middle of the tire. I don't drive much so this is a big problem for me. When it happened the first time with the tires that came on the car, I bought a new set and had the car aligned. It has done it again so I believe there is a defect in the car.”
NHTSA complaint #10918113, filed 2016-10, 65,280 miles“I hear a horrible grind when making a left hand turn after a stop, car also felt like it did not want to go forward causing hesitation in left hand turn - very dangerous with oncoming traffic. Have had it to mechanic many times, either they couldnt find the problem or would fix this or that and then problems right back within days if not hours. Occasionally get service stabilitrac and/or ABS lights, usually lights would clear by next day when I took to mechanic and again they'd either find no problem or try a fix -still a problem. …”
