2008 Chevrolet Impala

I BOUGHT A 2008 CHEVY IMPALA, AND HAD TO BUY NEW TIRES 3 TIMES I CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN TO MY CHEVY DEALER THEY TOLD ME THEIR WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS . I FINALLY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TRADE MY CAR ONLY AFTER IT WAS THREE YEARS OLD BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE TO BUY MY FORTH SET OF TIRES. I STILL HAVE MY RECEIPTS FROM ALL THE TIRES I BOUGHT I AM FURIOS I WANT TO BE PART OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM. *KB

I HAVE A 2008 CHEVY IMPALA, AT 23,000 MILES THE TIRES ARE BALD. I ROTATED THEM EVERY 5000 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN LATE 2007. FROM READING THE OTHER FORUMS ON LINE, IT'S NOT THE TIRES. IT'S THE REAR END ALIGNMENT FROM THE FACTORY. THIS TIRES ARE GOING TO COST $1,400.00 TO REPLACE AND I'M BEING TOLD THE NEW ONE'S WILL WEAR OUT JUST AS FAST AS THE OLD ONE'S. I SEE THERE'S A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM FOR 2007 & 2008 IMPALA'S. THEY FIXED ALL THE IMPALA COP CARS BUT NOT THE GENERAL PUBLIC! *KB

I HAVE EXPERIENCE RAPID TREAD WEAR ON THE INSIDE OF MY REAR TIRES. LAST SET OF REAR TIRES WERE WORN DOWN TO THE STEEL AFTER APPROX. 18.000 MILES. CURRENT SET OF REAR TIRES HAVE APPROX. 12,000 MILES ON THEM AND ARE SHOWING SIGNIFICANT WEAR ON THE INSIDE. A DAY AGO I WAS DRIVING ON A RAIN COVERED INTERSTATE EARLY IN THE MORNING. THE REAR END OF THE CAR SWUNG OUT TO THE LEFT AND I LOST CONTROL AND SPUN AROUND 2 TIMES ENDING UP IN THE GRASSY MEDIAN. LUCKILY, NO ONE ELSE WAS NEAR ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY, I AM TRYING TO GET GM TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE 2007-2008 POLICE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR. *TT

I OWN A 2008 CHEVY IMPALA SS, I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2008. SINCE BUYING THE CAR, I HAVE HAD TO BUY 3 SETS OF BACK TIRES DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEARING ON THE TIRES. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES RE-ALIGNED EVERYTIME I HAVE HAD TO PUT NEW TIRES ON THE BACK, YET THEY CONTINUE TO WEAR OUT EXTREMELY FAST. THE FIRST SET OF TIRES I HAD TO PUT ON THE CAR WAS IN MARCH 2009, THEN AGAIN IN MAY 2010 (OF WHICH I NEEDED NEW BACK TIRES PRIOR TO THEN BUT COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY THEM UNTIL THAT TIME), THEN I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN DECEMBER 2010. I AM NOW ON MY 3RD SET OF BACK TIRES, AND AM NEEDING TO REPLACE THEM YET AGAIN. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THERE IS A LAW SUIT CURRENTLY FILED AGAINST GM, STATING THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE REAR ALIGNMENT SPENDLE CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEARING ON THE REAR TIRES. PER THE NEWS REPORST ON THE LAW SUIT, IT IS REQUESTED TO BECOME A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AS GM ISSUED A LETTER FOR THE POLICE IMPALA'S TO BE REPAIRED AND FOR THE OWNERS TO BE REIMBURSED FOR ANY TIRES BOUGHT, HOWEVER THEY NEGLECTED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC WHO OWN 2007 & 2008 IMPALA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TT

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED JUNE 2010, NOTED AFTER BUYING REAR TIRES WERE 2 DIFFERENT TIRES, & DIFFERENT FROM FRONT TIRES. PURCHASED 2 MATCHING TIRES TO PRESENT FRONT TIRES, GOODYEAR EAGLE P225/55 R17. PUT FRONT TIRES ON REAR, NEW ON FRONT. NOTED SIGNIFICANT INSIDE WEAR BOTH REAR TIRES, MAY 2011. HAVE PUT ON APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES IN THIS TIME. I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 53 MILES EVERY WORKDAY. READ ARTICLE IN PAPER, JULY 6TH 2011 BY DEE-ANN DURBIN ASSOCIATED PRESS, DESCRIBING LAWSUIT OVER THIS ISSUE, DEFECTIVE SPINDLE RODS, REPLACED ON 23,800 POLICE VEHICLES BY GM, NOT ON REST OF 2007-2008 IMPALA'S. BELIEVE RECALL SHOULD BE ENFORCED FOR ALL CITIZEN'S FAIRLY, BY GM, OBVIOUSLY THEIR IS A PROBLEM, OR GM WOULD NOT HAVE REPLACED PART FOR POLICE CRUISER'S. *TR
