POWER TRAIN, STEERING
TAKATA RECALL. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND REALIZED I HAD FORGOTTEN MY PURSE AND WHEN I TRIED TO BACK UP TO GET MY PURSE, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND ALMOST GOT STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. A FEW MEN CAME TO HELP PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE ROAD. AFTER CHECKING A FEW RHINGS, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD GONE OUT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY IMPALA, 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL, A REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, BEING AS WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY TO SUDDENLY ONLY BEING ABLE TO GO 20MPH WAS VERY FRIGHTENING!! I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. AFTER SEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE I FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS SAME CAR. I FIND IT STRANGE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS DUE TO IT BEING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER CALLING A CHEVY DEALER, THEY TOLD ME ALL THEY COULD DO IS HOOK IT UP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS BUT IT WOULD COST 175.00 JUST TO DO THAT. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL PARKED AND WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT AND STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT AGAIN FOR FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AND US MAYBE NOT BEING AS LUCKY NEXT TIME!!!! SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. SIMPLY TYPE IN 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE!!!!

WHEELS
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
