problem #3

Nov 012004

Impala 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles
The contact stated the wheel sensors stopped working, causing ABS failure. When applying the brakes there was a grinding noise and the brakes would not stop the vehicle. The dealer replaced the wheel sensors, reset the codes, replaced the right and left rear wheel bearing assembly, and resurfaced all four rotors on the vehicle. The repair seemed to have corrected the problem. In addition, while turning the steering wheel there is a clanking noise. Technical service bulletin 04-02-35-0048 dealt with the steering problem. However, this problem has not been corrected.
