I have had two Chevrolet Impalas and the trunks are extremely heavy. The trunk has dented my daughter's skull, hit my other daughter in the head and hit me in the head twice. Compensation for this would be nice. Also, the latch to hold both trunks open was broken because it was so heavy. And the vehicle is very hot because the a/c censor needs to be replaced but don't know what it looks like.
I waited for recall parts (ignition and oil leak) and had them completed 4/13/16. On 4/22/16 my car started smoking coming off the freeway, I pulled over and the engine stalled, people yelled to get out it was on fire. The fire started in front of engine and proceeded thru engine compartment burning all plastics and wiring. Dealership says I'm responsible for the damage since I didn't have full insurance coverage. How can that be, my car was fine until they worked on it. Dealership was also very rude and condescending. I hope all Chevrolet dealers aren't the same. I gave dealership 7 days to resolve the problem, however they basically told me no one can help me. I almost burned up in this vehicle.
While driving through winding road, front left tire went into pothole causing ignition switch to turn engine off and lost power steering, causing loss of control and crash.
