Impala

  • 178,000 miles
I have had two Chevrolet Impala and the trunks are extremely heavy. The trunk has dented my daughter's skull, hit my other daughter in the head and hit me in the head twice. Compensation for this would be nice. Also, the latch to hold both trunks open was broken because it was so heavy. And the vehicle is very hot because the A/C censor needs to be replaced but don't know what it looks like.

I am the second owner of this car and an avid Chevrolet owner we only own Chevrolet vehicles. My car is white and the paint is coming off starting on the trunk. I have not seen an Impala like mine that the paint is not coming off. I used to brag about Chevrolet but now I cannot. I can't wash the car often because the paint rips away every time. I would not be making this complaint if mine was the only one I have seen with this issue. Chevrolet may not be my next choice when making an investment in another vehicle.
