Vehicle would have hard start problems, and would stall out at any time with no warning. This has happened on numerous occasions took in & was told that they would reprogram computer, other problems w car, brakes would wear out every month, odometer reading incorrectly. Dealer no willing to work on vehicle unless a cash deposit was made. Finally took vehicle to another dealer and was told that problems were taken care of. Car in shop for 1 week, and after return of car the same problems began occurring, with the stalling, finally occoasionallywas when son driving on freeway car died while going 65mph. Son had to put in neutral and restart vehicle. Then finally after 1 week transmission dropped and had to be replaced. This vehicle has had various problems since date of purchase and dealers are unable to resolve problems.

Rotors warped at 16,054 miles. Dealer resurfaced rotors and sanded pads. Rotors warped again at 29502 miles. Dealer replaced both front rotors and pads. At 38735 miles I took car to dealer with complaint of a bumping sensation in the steering mostly when turning. Ser. Mgr. Reported that Impala have had intermediate steering problems, but mechanic reportedly found no such problems, however, he found that rotors were again out of round. Rotors were resurfaced and pads were scuffed. This did not help the bumping sensation in the steering. Feel that Chevrolet knows they have serious problems with rotors and steering, but no solution has been offered to me.
