The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while having the brakes inspected, she was notified that both front bushing on the A-frame were fractured. The vehicle was not taken to the repaired and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 38,000.
I have a 2006 Chevrolet Impala which required the front brakes to have the rotors machined and replaced 3 times in the first 33,000 miles. I was told that this was caused by the use of inferior metal for the rotors which could not withstand the heat generated by braking, especially when exiting from a highway. Additionally, the front outer tie rods required replacement in the first 65,000 miles of driving because they had become worn out which caused the front tires to be loose or "wobbly."
I have only had my car for 9 months and have had trouble from the beginning, the heater will not heat up and when it does it goes cold unless you are pressing the gas and will not defrost and it keeps losing fluid so they replace the radiator cap.it has a bad shimmy and a popping in the steering wheel it has less then 45,000 I really think they need to check in on all the problems people are having with the 2006 Impala.
First the wheel had a shimmy in it. The rotors were replaced and new brakes. That wasn't it. It was the front ball joint. 2. car wouldn't heat up. Radiator cap replaced at dealer for 45 dollars. Rear defogger quit working. 4. power steering out now and it feels like the rack and pinion going to fail. Car no longer under warranty now with 64K. I am tired of this lemon.
