general problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Impala

None.

Just keeps showing warning signals a traction control. The front left strut cover is corroded which was told to me eventually the strep will come through there. Showing no signs of the fan working to cool the car down which then reads engine too hot turn off ac.

Traction control light on , car lose power and has trouble stopping when brakes are deployed.

I have a 09 chevy imapala and my car makes this aggravating ticking noise when I enter my car when I crank up the car when im outside and touch he car it ticks for about a minute or two. It also ticks when I have to turn the air on for the driver side I have to leave the temp or hot and when the ticking stops completly ( there is two reps of it) then I can move it to the cold side.

2009 Chevrolet Impala. Consumer writes in regards to unrepaired recalls which resulted in a fatal accident. The consumer stated the vehicle was traveling at high speeds. The dips in the road, the high speed, the loading/unloading and of the suspension contributed to the loss of control of the vehicle.

I have had to replace the tires on this car for the third time,this car has 30,000 miles and should not have had to have tires 3 times. There seems to be quite a lot of 2009 Impalas with this problem. The front times wear on the out side and inside. The back tires are like new. The first set of tires had 10,000 miles on them, the second set had 12,000 miles on them. The dealer replaced the front tires the first time after a lot of argument . I have found 37 complaints about this problem. Gm has repaired the problem on the 2009 Impala police cars,so that is an admission of a problem. They have not extended this fix to the other buyers of the 2009 Impalas. My car also had several recalls for other problems. I am now waiting for the ignition repair to be fixed. I have been a gm buyer for over 40 years and this is so frustrating.

Horrible shimmy/shake when coming to a stop, even after replacing brakes and rotors. Uneven wear pattern on tires (especially the front). Inner tread and outer tread bald, even after front end alignment. Also feels like there's some steering issues to work out as well. We've done everything possible to make it not shake/wear tires, but nothing has helped. General motors has been of absolutely no help either!.

I was driving and when I brake I notice a violent shaking in the steering wheel and the car also shakes.

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while inspecting the tires, he noticed that all four tires were wearing unevenly. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was confirmed that the wheel chambers had failed causing the tires to cup. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 23,000 and the current mileage was 31,000.

My 09 Impala ltz has already had a blowout on the driver's side front due to a gouging around the entire diameter of the inside of the tire. I checked the passenger side and there were wires showing on that tire, as well as the same gouging. The rest of the tread was fine on the front tires. The tires were replaced and the car was aligned. This past weekend, just before my wife left in the car to head on a 350 mile trip, I happened to notice that, again, wires were showing on these tires, also. Upon further inspection, I noticed that these tires also had the same gouging to them. I checked the rear tires and they have the same gouging, although not as bad as the front. The strut plate, attached to the strut just above the tire, is about a half of an inch above the tires. It is easy to see where the tires have rubbed these plates at all four corners of the vehicle. I have read online of other Impalas with the same problem, where people had cut or bent the strut plates, but this is something I would rather not do.

Vehicle had bad shimmy and extreme tire wear on inner edges and outer edges. Took to the dealer who advised needed a tire rotation and an alignment kit - both of which would be a customer pay item. I complained to the service manager that this was a factory defect in the vehicle causing the tire wear and alignment issue. He confirmed my statement but said even his wife's car has the same issue and he can't get it covered by gm and had to pay out of pocket to correct the situation. I have rotated the tires per the manufacturers recommendations, I paid to have the vehicle aligned, and I am still wearing through tires at an alarming rate - close to every 16k-19k miles. The tires are bald on the inner and outer edges, but have tread in the middle. We have been die-hard Chevrolet purchasers, but this is our last purchase from gm unless they step up to the plate and take care of their manufacturing defects and customers. This is a safety related issue as I have no traction in snow or in rainy/slippery conditions. You can feel it in the way the car performs that it is not safe.

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the vehicle experienced a tire blow out. The contact also stated that he felt the vehicle was causing the treading on both tires to wear excessively. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was not notified about the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 33,000 and the current mileage was 35,500.

I have a 2009 Impala with barely 15000 miles. Took in for oil change and tire rotation at a firestone business. Mechanic states that front tires would not pass inspection, and recommended 2 front tires and lifetime front end alignment for a cost of almost 750. 00. Did not take him up on his "generous" offer. This was just before the car hit 15k miles. Car has been serviced every 5k, and up until just over 10k, tire condition was stated as "good-9/32 tread is still on tires. So, between 10k & 15 k, they are now no longer any good? have seen quite a few complaints online about 2009 Impala tires wearing out prematurely, as did the 2008's(which my wife has) front end has never shaken, shimmied or anything else-still drives down the road at 50 with no problem at all. Am wondering if gm is going to give me a hassle about this-not a good advertisement for this model at all!.
