THE REAR DEFOGGER DOES NOT WORK. NOTHING HAPPENED, IT JUST QUIT WORKING. WHEN YOU PUSH THE REAR DEFOGGER BUTTON ON THE FRONT PANEL, THE LIGHT LIGHTS UP SHOWING IT IS WORKING, BUT IT ISN'T WORKING ON THE REAR WINDOW. IT IS HAZARDOUS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW WITH FROST AND EVEN SNOW BUILT UP ON IT WHILE DRIVING. I FIND THIS A BIG BIG PROBLEM WHEN I CANT GO FAR SNOW BUILDS UP TO FAST. ONE OTHER TIME THE WIPERS STOPPED FOR NO REASON IN THE MIDDLE OF MY VIEW. WHEN I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION I SHUT IT ALL DOWN WENT GOT A POP CAME BACK OUT AND STARTED THE CAR AND THEN THEY STARTED TO WORK AGAIN NOT A GOOD SITUATION. *TR

I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT MY 2007 CHEVY IMPALA IS VERY DANGEROUS IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. TONIGHT I ALMOST DIED! WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR SWERVED OUT OF CONTROL CONSISTENTLY FOR AT LEAST 10 MILES. SEMIS WERE SURROUNDING ME AS MY CAR WAS GOING OUT OF CONTROL. AFTER READING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I'VE REALIZED THAT THIS MAY BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND NOT THE TIRES THAT I RECENTLY PUT ON. I WAS LITERALLY SCARED TO DEATH. HOW CAN THE US GOVERNMENT ALLOW THIS ISSUE TO GO UNCHECKED. HEY WHY DON'T WE JUST BAIL OUT SOME MORE US AUTO COMPANIES LIKE GM SO THEY CAN KEEP MAKING POS CARS. *TR
