Problems with 2008 Chevrolet Impala STEERING

The car is not driving smooth. the car is having multiple problems

While i was driving, the car gave a notice of reduced engine power, then a few miles later, another notice came on service throttle disabling service. and the car shut off! with no warning, and no way to get to safety. if i wasn't in an area that had a shoulder i could get to quickly or if there was any traffic near me, i would be dead! this is incredibly unsafe and is going to get someone killed, if it hasnt already! that has to be some sort of flaw in the programing. if i would have been on the highway, which is where i normally am at that time of day, i would have had no time to react and get to a safe area before the car shut down on me. it also locked up the steering wheel and braking system so i had next to no power. it was incredibly scary. i am just glad that i was driving the car, instead of my elderly mother. she very well may have had a heart attack from the fear. in no way should a car just shut down mid-drive like that! i cant even begin to explain ...

The lower control arms for my 2008 chevy impala lt were never replaced in thr recall. the recall states that if they brake while driving can cause damage ,injury or death, 2nd owner never got recall notice.

2008 chevy impala ltz -- i am having trouble with the rear inner tires wearing down to the chords just like all the other complaints on here. i know it's not the tire brand, etc. as i've had a reputable mechanic put on two sets of tires. i found articles on a lawsuit and the fact that gm will fix the police cars with this issue, but not the general public's. i bought this car as a commuter car for my sons that will be college students and i need it to last. i want a copy of the tsb #08032a that addresses this issue. i just want my car fixed so that i don't keep blowing through sets of tires it is getting ridiculously expensive. my last set was supposed to wear out at 60,000 and only lasted 20,000. i am actually on my second set, so basically $1600 into tires alone, not to mention what it's going to cost me for the spindle/cambor/rear tie rods that is associated with the tsb mentioned above. gm should be paying for this and it should be a massive recall. ...

Whenever the vehicle encounters wet conditions such as rain or going thru a puddle, the power steering will lock up and. this can happen at any speed or wheel position. this has caused many dangerous situations but no injuries have occurred yet.

When driving over water or a very wet road my power steering quits, i often get "alternator failure" warning until such time as i pass over the pooled water spot in the road. i had the engine belt changed and it still does this when driving over a pooled or low spot in a roadway or parking lot. this happens when driving at low or higher speeds on a highway, street or parking lot and/or gravel area with pooled water but not in a "flood" situation. this has been ongoing for over three months.

The front wheels of my vehicle started drifting left and right. started hearing a clanging noise when l would turn. lower control arms broke, my power steering is going because of it. this is terrible. i saw there is a recall on some just not my vin#. vehicle was in motion just started to pull to one side. merging onto the highway .

When it rains my steering locks for 10 to 20 secondswhile driving. i could be going straight or turning it doesn't matter seems like when i go over a puddle of water.

I was driving in traffic around 5:30pm cst on us 59 n and rankin rd tuesday 11/15/16 when my vehicle lost engine power. i was unable to accelerate or steer and the only light that came on in the car was the service tire monitor system. i managed, somehow, to steer the vehicle to the left shoulder of the freeway and put it in park. i turned off the vehicle and when i went start it again, after releasing the key, it made a stuttering to start sound over and over again even though i was no longer touching the key. when i tried to start it again it turn on and then back off and continued to do this at least 3 more times. i eventually had it towed to my home and after reading online today at forums.edmonds.com many people have been having this issue with impala's and suburban's from gm for at least 4 years now, first post is back in 2012. gm needs to put a recall on these vehicles and fix the issue before it more fatalities, as proven in their earlier 2014-2015 recall. they just did a recall about a year ago for impala's ...

My vehicle was in motion. i was trying to park, and the wheel did not want to move. there was also a loud screeching noise when i turned the wheel. i was told i probably did not have power steering fluid. i put some in, that lasted for a day, and my car started doing the same thing all over again. also when i turn, it makes the same noise. two other people that live in my building have 2007, 2008 impalas, and they had to replace their power steering box. seems to me there needs to be a recall on this. this makes me very scared. i was not going at a high rate of speed then. what about the next time. ##

This has happen 2 times since i bought it in feb. when i was steering to the left it wouldn't turn like the steering column was locked for about 15 second and then it's fine. thank god both times i was turning and not at a high speed.

Vehicle has 65,937 miles and failed nc inspection due to excessive play in both front hub and bearing assemblies. no steering problems noted prior to this inspection. dealer stated they have replaced some assemblies but had not been made aware by chevrolet this was a problem nor has any recall been initiated. with so few miles and a defect so potentially dangerous some form of notification to vehicle owners of models using this type of assembly should be notified.

I purchased a 2008 chevy impala ltz from a reputable certified used car dealership (merrolis chevrolet 9 mile and gratiot). i also had a warranty. in less than two months i had a service invoice for over 1300.00 the car needed a airbag coil replacement (477.00) steering difficulties. also. the converter needed replacement (877.00). this makes the car sound like it needs a new muffler. i complained to the manager in service and i'm awaiting a response 11-13-15. he was supposed to call me back on friday 11-13-15 but did not.
