Purchased a second Chevrolet Impala with same defect with tail light compartment. Holds water indefinitely, not just condensation. I now have a 2003 and used to have a 2002 with same problem. Causes light bulbs to go out frequently and also alarm will go off when opening trunk which I suspect maybe a short in wiring due to water. I have contacted a local Chevrolet dealer's service dept as well as gm corporate and they are familiar with problem but no with no recalls yet to provide resolution of what I believe is a safey hazard when light bulbs continue to go out. Of course they want me to pay to replace defective taillight assembly that may still have some condensation problems.

Rolling backwards at a stop. Shaking/shimmying of steering wheel--had to replace rotors/brakes at my own expense because warranty expires at 36,000. I also had to replace the module because it was malfunctioning,the pistons/rings and the abs system was also malfunctioning--still at my own expense. Now,I'm having problems with my steering and front end making clunking noises. I bought the car with 17,500 or so on it,and now 24,000 miles or so later I'm spending a fortune on the upkeep of an apparent lemon. Sure wish chevy would do somethin about it instead of giving us the run-around. Nlm.
