This problem is so annoying, can't even take a 4 hour drive without wearing out the back tires. Come on GM, fix this problem.

Took this car on trip to Philadelphia, barely made it home, spindle rods separated from the rear of the car. My mechanic said he never saw anything like it. Cost was $1200.00. I know there is another woman in my area who had this, Blakely, PA who tried to sue for this exact problem and it never went anywhere. I am assuming the two cars were bought from the same dealership in the area. So in my opinion GM should have taken care of this issue, also 2 weeks later I had to take the vehicle back because now it needed shocks and struts which was another costly bill in itself! I am uncertain of the exact mileage I am estimating on it, I am thinking it was possibly less.

The problems with this should have been taken care of by GM or there should have been a recall on them. It was a hazard! Stacey Granza

Rear tires are leaning in at the top, definitely not in alignment. This condition will wear out the tires way before they are supposed to and at $125.00-175.00 per tire, this can get very expensive. and, even after an alignment the tires start leaning again after as few weeks have passed.--

GM saw fit to retro fit Police fleets with the Impala with new spindles but those of us civilians who own this model are SOL! Sure, after we bail you out you call yourselves the "new GM". Well, those of us loyal GM owners who stood by you expect better from what was once a great American Company-- Do the right thing GM and fix these cars the right way!
