Impala

  • 143,000 miles
On Saturday, November 15, 2014, I took my 2007 Chevrolet Impala ls to hailey's Chevrolet for the "electrical ignition / key recall." After my keys were fixed and the two 6mm rings were attached to them, I was driving 25 mph down the highway, slowed down for another vehicle that was turning; then the service airbag and service tire pressure monitoring system lights illuminated, flickered three times, and have remained on since then. I didn't have any problems with my vehicle; until the recall repairs listed above were performed. I am scared to drive my car even short distances now because of all the news headlines about, "airbags exploding" and fear of, what might happen with my tires. These matters should really be investigated.

The power window keeps breaking. We take it to get fixed and a month or two later it breaks. The last time it went out my window shattered. I have been driving without a driver side window and a passenger window being held up with pencils. I can't afford to keep paying for these windows to be fixed every month.
