A sever popping noise is coming from the front end. There is a lack of control in the steering. The problem has been ongoing since the consumer purchased the vehicle on April 21, 2005. The consumer found that there is a similar problem with other vehicles . The consumer has not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be repaired.

Car bought new, vibration from front end ,dealer aligned front and rear which was out of spec. (have alignment print-out for before and after) after alignment uneasy feeling steering with constant correction. Will wander l&r. When stopping steering wheel will occasionally jerk to the left, pulls right upon accelleration. Scarey driving in rain - hydroplanes easily. My concerns are for handling / braking in winter conditions of ice and snow.

There is a "popping" noise from the front end when turning steering wheel to the left. The dealer "lubed" the part, however it did not cure the problem.

We purchased this Impala LS with 90 miles on it (as it was driven up from a dealer in new jersey). Since the first day we had the vehicle there has been a clearance problem - when going up or down a normal garage or driveway incline at the slowest speed (even below 5 mph), the car bottoms out. We have advised both paul conte and the gm chevy division of this immediately and repeatedly. Their response was, the vehicle had a design flaw. We do not feel Chevrolet's design flaw should be the consumer's issue. This could be a safety issue.

Took the car in at 7k miles regarding the thump noise in the front end. Shims were added which corrected the problem. At 28k miles I took it in again for the same problem and was told the rack and pinion needed replacement. Gm is aware of the problem since several Impala's are having this problem at 30k miles. The mnaufacturer is not in business and I was told their "technichans at gm are working on the problem". I filed a complaint with gm and was told they did not have a date when the new parts would be in to fix my car. Was told to continue driving, there is no danger in driving with a broken rack and pinion. After filing the complaint I was told by the dealer the part will be in in approx 3 weeks. Not a happy customer with gm as I feel driving the car broken is endangering my life as well as my childs. They are correcting the problem in the 2001 model but seem to not be concerned on getting repeat customers.

Since shortly after car was purchased there is a noticeable clunking/popping noise coming from the right front of the car. This is especially heard when going over a bump. Original thought was that it was either an arm or a joint. Dealer said it was not a problem and subsequent complaints have resulted in my being told it was either "in my steering column" (which I find odd since that is on the left), or a "noise that doesn't mean anything", or "something typical to aluminum rockers", or even that it was something they heard many complaints about but it wasn't hurting anything. I have had the car since it was new in November 2000 so apparently the noise is not a safety hazard, or at least not to me, and not yet. I remain concerned and complain about it almost each time I take it in to the mechanic for any other work. Today the local Chevrolet rep offered to pay 50% of the repair cost to do something to the steering which they think is the cause, but why should I pay for something their car does that it should not? besides, I don't think a right front tire area noise is much related to the steering. Incident date is since shortly after I purchased the car.

Clicking/snapping noise in the front end, when the steering wheel is turned at a stop. Dealer installed a shim kit in the engine craddle, problem still exist. Now states the craddle will require replacement.

Vehicle "pulls" to right during operation at any given speed, dealership has examined vehicle several times, and cannot find a cause for this problem. Consumer stated vehicle has been into dealership 3 times and was chargd for front and rear alignement, the last time vehicle was taken into dealer, consumer was ifnormed that is just the way the vehicle is made.

A vibration in car at highway speeds,a slight noise or roar sound. The car drifts right to left from center while at highway speeds(55-75). The next thing I found is how the Impala easily hydroplanes even at reduced speeds and people passing me thinging new car wrong,well if they where driving my Impala they wound get the fear of hydroplaning vaery quickly. ( dot number: tire size: p228/60r16 ).

While driving at speeds over 55 mph and making a sharp turn, vehicle experienced strong vibration/ wobbling in the front end. Vehicle has been been to the dealer 7 times, and each time dealer has replaced a different part, but defect still occurs.
