2008 chevy Impala ltz -- I am having trouble with the rear inner tires wearing down to the chords just like all the other complaints on here. I know it's not the tire brand, etc. As I've had a reputable mechanic put on two sets of tires. I found articles on a lawsuit and the fact that gm will fix the police cars with this issue, but not the general public's. I bought this car as a commuter car for my sons that will be college students and I need it to last. I want a copy of the TSB #08032a that addresses this issue. I just want my car fixed so that I don't keep blowing through sets of tires it is getting ridiculously expensive. My last set was supposed to wear out at 60,000 and only lasted 20,000. I am actually on my second set, so basically $1600 into tires alone, not to mention what it's going to cost me for the spindle/cambor/rear tie rods that is associated with the TSB mentioned above. Gm should be paying for this and it should be a massive recall. These cars are prolific in society. Lol. . . . We bailed them out in 2008, and they were cranking out lemons the same year. . . . Ironic!! gm refuses to take responsibility.
The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated the sidewalls on the tires were wearing prematurely. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the dealer stated that the rear tie rod was defective. As a result, the brakes, rotors and tires were wearing prematurely. The dealer replaced the tie rod and all of the components which were wearing prematurely, but the failure continued. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 75,000.
