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.
The Traction Control light and Anti Lock Brake light came on. Turns out the Traction Control and Anti Lock Brake sensor on the wheel bearing went bad. I had to replace the whole bearing and the new bearing cost $130 but will cost much more if you can't fix it yourself. The lights then came on again and it turns out it was the other bearing in the front that went bad. I put in a different brand of wheel bearing this time and it came on again a week later. Turns out you have to buy the brand "Precision" if these wheel bearings are going to work correctly.
