I have another complaint about this vehicle and the list could go on. I purchased my vehicle and paid cash for it. About a few months ago my dash meters started going out. I have almost ran out of gas on may occasions with my children. The speedometer goes out and I have to keep up with traffic. Also my power steering pump decided that it wanted to lock up in the middle of a parking lot. It's leaking and messing up other parts of my car I believe. My car has been maintenance and cared for. These problem came out of no where without warning. They should be repaired by the makers and not the consumers. This is a safety hazard that warrants a recall.
-the contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Impala. The contact started the ignition and the steering wheel began to make a loud noise in a shaking motion. The noise became louder when making turns. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The failure was contributed to the power steering pump. The dealer estimated cost to replace the power steering pump was $419. 00. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 103,000. The current mileage was 104,000.
Driving to work approx 06:30 am. Power steering went out, managed to turn the car towards ditch to avoid oncoming vehicles. Approx 45 mph, two lane frontage road. The car has always been rather weavy on the highway. The dealer couldn't find anything wrong until the recall for steering linkage was pointed out. Even after that, the car handled poorly and was reported to dealer. (steered poorly) reported to dealer, nothing done until after accident. Power steering pump replaced, but dealer refused admission of fault. Billed us for accident damage and replacement of powersteering pump.
While driving the car the steering wheel made loud noises. I took the car to the dealer, and was told that the steering pump failed, and the line had a small leak. I had to pay $800 to get the car fixed. I was told by one of the technicians that this was a common problem for the Impala.
