general problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Impala

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Impala equipped with good year tire size p235-50-r18. The dot and serial number were not available. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph the front drivers side tire thread separated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

I own a 2006 Chevrolet Impala with goodyear eagle ls2 tires as original equipment (m-s p225/55r17 95t, dot m643 bhdr 3905). I was advised that all tires on the vehicle had a defect which caused the tread to separate from the tire in the same spot. The tires still had from 7/32 to 9/32 tread remaining. Having taken off one tire to inspect it properly, the defect was found to be so bad that the dealer would not remount the tire on to the vehicle under California law. At the direction of goodyear, the defective tires were then taken to be inspected by a goodyear dealer and the defect was again confirmed. The identified defect could cause failure of a tire at any time without advance warning. As a result all tires of this manufacturing lot should be recalled immediately.

I have had to replace the tires on my 2006 Impala 4 times since I bought it. I am currently on the 5th set of tires after only 105,000 miles. I buy the tires with 50-70 thousand mile usage, yet I have to replace them for uneven wear every 20-25 thousand miles, even with routine rotations and alignment when I saw the lawsuit about 2007 and 2008 Impalas, I was shocked that 2006 wasn't included because it is the exact same problem I've been having.

Vehicle has bouncy/shuddery ride driving over 35mph. Looked at by 2 different shops, one said it was a bad tire and replaced under tire warranty, the other said it was separation of tread (bad tire). All four tires replaced with brand new tires (out of my own pocket) and the ride did not improve, then the shop says that it is "bumps in the road" even though there is a distinct difference between a bump in the road (felt from front tires and back tires) and the shudder of the vehicle.

2006 Chevrolet Impala rear tires had a slow leak causing tires to go flat. The vehicle was a rental. The day the vehicle was rented the consumer noticed instability in the rear end but assumed it was the way the vehicle was designed. Each time the vehicle was driven the instability was noticed. A few days later the consumer noticed that the right rear tire was flat. Upon further investigation it was determined that nails in the tire caused the slow leak. The rental agency lodged a claim against the consumer for the damaged tire.
