Impala 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,000 miles
I purchased a 2004 chervolet Impala from C & O motors in St. Albans West Virginia on March 23,2004. The vehicle only had two miles on the odometer. Ever since I have had the vehicle, I have had continued brake problems, front end suspension problems, noises coming from the dash of the vehicle, and a popping and cracking sound coming from the front end of the vehicle. Since I have had this vehicle I have had all 4 tires replaced, all hub caps replaced, all lug nut covers replaced, 2 rack of pinions replaced, 2 steerind shafts replaced, both sides of upper mount and barings replaced, front end suspension bolts replaced and tightened sevreal times, and no have an eletrical problem when rolling up the windows the lights dim, and front head light lens always has mositure in them whenit rains.

Impala 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4 miles
Car bought new, vibration from front end, dealer aligned front and rear which was out of spec.(have alignment print-out for before and after) after alignment uneasy feeling steering with constant correction. Will wander L&R. when stopping steering wheel will occasionally jerk to the left, pulls right upon accelleration. Scarey driving in rain - hydroplanes easily. My concerns are for handling / braking in winter conditions of ice and snow.
