problem #3

Impala 6-cyl

  • miles
Traveling at highway speed on 2 lane road, check engine and traction control lights illuminated then vehicle shut down. Lights and radio worked but vehicle would not turn over. After approximately 15 minutes vehicle cranked and started and was drivable. Took to Chevrolet dealer who made repairs by replacing 24 terminals. Verbally told me that there was corrosion on wires on this 2 year old vehicle with barely 60,000 miles. Had this happened on a multilane interstate highway shutting down like this could have been very dangerous.

Impala 6-cyl

Car was purchased in may of 2009; front tires became severely worn as I added miles to it, as well as the vehicle shaking my entire body while driving it. (my passengers also reported to me that their whole seat area was shaking.) had tires rotated and balanced and shaking continued. Now, I am afraid to drive it at high speeds. Checked with my dealership and they said they have had no notices or recalls on this problem. I need help, and soon.
