CarComplaints.com Notes: Top complaints for the 2006 Chevy Impala include how the transmission slips, clunks and fails. Or how the power steering knocks and squeals. In other words, this car is a noisy bucket of eventual failure points.
This started after I had new tires put on the car. Whenever I would come to a stop light or stop sign, and turn to the right, the car would sort of stall, then I'd hear a grinding noise that sounded like two pieces of metal scraping against eachother. After awhile, it now not only does it with right turns, but all the time. Whenever I step on the gas after a stop, it does the same stalling and grinding noise, then the traction light flashes on the dashboard.
