Problems with 2007 Chevrolet Impala SUSPENSION

While driving on a road my tie rod broke causing me to lose control of the car. it completely turned around and landed in some trees.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet impala. while driving at approximately 55 mph, the vehicle veered off the road independently. the vehicle was diagnosed by both the dealer and an independent mechanic and they both confirmed that the rear axle would need to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 20,000. the vin was unavailable.

Vehicle was being driven on a straight dry road when it started to drift and go out of control causing the vehicle to crash into a tree. *tr

Excessive wear on inside edges of rear tires i'm just fortunate i caught the wear early . so i brought it to my local chevy dealer for a 4 wheel alignment. i was told that both rear spindle rods needed replacing to the tune of $700.00. the service dept. told me they could not get enough adjustment in the current spindle rods to bring the alignment into spec. and there is an updated part to replace them. gm has known about this problem since 2009 and it effects both 2007 and 2008 chevy impalas. they did a recall on 07 and 08 police versions of the impala but not on the civilian version. the nhtsb needs to take a hard look at this design problem before someone is hurt or killed due to a blow out. *tr

Chevrolet impala displays excessive wear on the inside of the rear tires. i am assuming it is the rear tires as online searches describe the same condition affect the rear tires. the tires were rotated every time the oil was changed, so the front tires show some wear but not nearly the same amount of damage. it is my guess this wearing started before the most recent tire rotation. the tires are worn to the point the cords are showing along the inside of the rear tires. the tire is very rounded on the inside edge of each tire while the outside edge of each tire looks like they did when new. the tires are michelin hydroedge tires with approximately 50,000 miles, they are rated for 90,000 miles. online information says this is a problem with the spindle rods. there is a pending class action lawsuit against "new gm" to honor design problems of "old gm." gm order a recall on all police impalas from 2007-2008 within a vin range to replace the spindle rods. bulletin no. 08032a. also search document pic5406a for more information. ...

I have not had an incidence but very concerned about the malfunction that is going on with my vehicle at this time..i noticed a scrubbing/grumbling noise when i would turn the wheel either way left or right. after vehicle being put on machine for testing it was discovered that the upper strut mounts and bearing were worn and noisy on front struts......also my abs and traction control light both came on at the same time and would not go off, the information system in vehicle recommended brakes be service.....the results from car being tested showed both front hubs have slack and both front wheel speed sensor harness are coming apart inside wire installation. the codes for abs/traction control is...c0040 00.c0040. *tr

2007 impala ss that i have owned since april 2011 and bought with 24,000 miles.the problem is with rear tires on the car wearing witihin one month after replacing, the instalation of tires is followed by a professional alignment and the tires still wear down to the wires. i have been through several sets of tires and alignments since i purchased the car and have not yet found a fix other than tires and alignment. documents have indicated that there are bad rear spindle rods on the rear of the car that gm has aknowledged are present and gm failed to repair them on all 2007-2008 impalas with the exception of police vehicles (approximately 23,000 police duty cars out of 450,000+ affected). gm will not replace these under warranty and i cannot find a repair for the issue. the car will slip out of alignment within a few days or weeks and cause very dangerous driving conditions if driven on rain, snow or any slippery surface, causing the car to sway in the rear, hydroplane and even lose control. this is an enourmous safety hazard for impala owners and also other drivers that may have an accident due to this ...

Letter from congressman carter on behalf of constituent re issue of gm's liability for defective parts on cars they manufactured *tgw as a result of a design flaw and defective parts, the tri-coiled rear springs, trailing arms and spindle rods are causing premature wear of rear tires. gm recalled vehicles used in police work; but not the general public. gm says they are not liable, because its 2009 bankruptcy and subsequent reorganization shields them from liability over the alleged design flaws. *tr updated 04/010/12
