Recently reported FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER problems on 2005 Chevrolet Impala

My vehicle, a 2005 chevy impala, has had an issue concerning my fuel pressure regulator. after taking my vehicle to the chevy dealership to find out what the issue was, the diagnostics test had discovered that the fuel pressure regulator was damaged. i did further research on the issue they discovered i have come to find out that there was a recall on the same exact part on march 12 of 2007. when i returned to pick up my vehicle, they also mentioned another issue about my vehicles steering. this also showed up on the list of recalls for my model/year vehicle. when i asked regarding the issue of why my car was not involved in the recall, they stated that my vin number is not in the list of cars they felt should be recalled. i was concerned and wondering why would my vehicle not be recalled also when the same exact issued occurred on my vehicle as well. *tr

I have a 2005 chevy impala, currently with 22,320 miles. at my oil change and tire rotation, (~20,500) i was informed by repair place that they would not perform the tire rotation as i would be needing to replace the tires soon. i asked why they were wearing so fast- i was told, they noticed it on many impalas- premature tire wear between 18,000-25,000 miles. ~ 15 months ago, with only about 13,000 miles, when i had an oil change done i was informed me the engine was leaking oil from the rear of the engine, i should take it to the dealer for repair. the dealer had to replace (under warranty) several seals/gaskets- oil pan, drain plug, oil filter, plus replace the drain plug. the car is sometimes hard to start and have to hold the key in the start position, and/or lightly press the gas pedal to start it. about two weeks ago, i grinded the starter. sometimes the car will start roughly and immediately stall, or will stall the first few seconds as i am backing out the drive way. dealer about this they told me i was using cheap gas and to use a better brand, but i always use "brand" gas, i even use fuel injector cleaner dealer later told me i needed to have the fuel injection "flushed" with their system for $199, plus tax and charges, hearing it was not good for the vehicle, i declined. i have also noticed a "clunking/bumping/banging" noise when turning, especially hard turns. my brakes need to be replaced, the front brakes are starting to make a thump when braking, and yesterday when braking hard, i heard a squeal noise, (rear?). fuel gauge sometimes rapidly fluctuates, when driving, and at times when accelerating,(though not concurrent) i hear a "swoosh/gargling" sound. i was accelerating too hard. the fuel gauge will swing as much as a 1/4 tank when driving before recovering to the correct position. gauge shows low fuel level, low fuel light comes on, i only needed 10-12 gals to fill it (~16 gals). *tr
