I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAD A FEW NOISES FROM THE FRONT END. ONE WAS A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN I REACHED SPEEDS OF APPROX 25 MPH, THE FRONT END WAS MAKING A POPPING NOISE, WHEN I WOULD BACK UP THEN PULL FORWARD THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE, AND ALSO A FEW TIMES WHEN I WOULD MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN IT WAS LIKE MY CAR WAS STUCK FOR A FEW SECONDS WITH THE MOTOR REVVING, BUT WOULDNT MOVE. WHEN IT FINALLY WOULD, IT WOULD SHOOT FORWARD AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND THE RIGHT FRONT HUB HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY, THE FRONT ENGINE, REAR ENGINE, STRUT MOUNT, AND TRANSMISSION MOUNT WERE TORN, THE FRONT TIMING COVER AND THE STEERING GEAR RACK WERE LEAKING AND ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SO MUCH FOR SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY FOR A CAR TO RELIABLY GET ME AND MY KIDS FROM POINT A TO B SAFELY. THANKFULLY THE DEALERSHIP IS HELPING ME OUT SO I CAN AFFORDS TO GET MY CAR FIXED, AND ITS STILL COSTING ME $2000. THE CAR ONLY HAS 60,3023 MILES ON IT.

A FEW WEEKS AGO OUR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA. SHE INFORMED US THAT THE CAR JUST "TOOK OFF BY ITSELF." WE JUST ATTRIBUTED IT TO HER NOT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE CAR. A COUPLE DAYS LATER, WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND I WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT, AT ABOUT 25 MPH ON A CITY STREET, CAR SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AS IF SHE HAD SLAMMED ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. PUSHING ON THE BRAKE ENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION, ENGINE RETURNED TO IDLE, SO I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT PROBLEM IS POSSIBLY RELATED TO CRUISE CONTROL CIRCUITS AND THAT BRAKE MAY HAVE DISENGAGED CRUISE. CRUISE CONTROL CIRCUIT WAS "ON", SINCE WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CRUISING ON INTERSTATE, BUT WAS NOT ENGAGED (OR SET) WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS PROBLEM CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, OCCURRED TWICE IN A WEEK'S TIME, THEN DISAPPEARED. WE ARE WONDERING IF IT WILL OCCUR AGAIN. 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA W/ 60,000 MILES

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, THE CAR LURCHES SLIGHTLY FORWARD AND MAKES A TERRIBLE NOISE---LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. A MECHANIC CHECKED THE BALL BEARINGS IN THE WHEELS AND THEY WERE OKAY HE SAID. THIS NOISE STARTED A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT DOESN'T MAKE THIS NOISE EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A LEFT TURN, BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT DOES IT REPEATEDLY IF MAKING A LEFT TURN.
