1 Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 09/01/2019

This is the second 2018 chevy Impala I've had and the same problem existed. The front wheel bearings grind ridiculously, and I'm only at 48k miles now. Initially I reported this issue while my vehicle was under the bumper to bumper 36k mfg warranty and naturally the dealer found no issues and just lubbed the wheel area and sent me on my way. I am paying a pretty penny for this 2018 chevy Impala and want to file this complaint. I noticed this seemed to be a reported problem and that chevy has ignored this problem and continues to place these wheel bearings that are sub-par into the vehicles. . . . Why??? I haven't had this car 1 year yet and I have had more lub jobs that I care to mention( like every month). When driving this car and you're getting ready to brake/stop, the second you put your foot on the brake pedal, a horrible grinding sound emerges from the front end of my car, I shouldn't be fixing a problem that chevy has created. . . A recall should be considered or better yet instituted to remedy these sick vehicles, you want us to buy american, well you need to build them like americans. . Strong.

4 Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 05/03/2019

When driving, loss of power steering, abs, stabilitrack. This is a huge safety problem. This issue does not matter on road conditions. It happens whenever. The ring on the back of the wheel bearing gets weather elements behind it (mostly talking about water in the winter then freezes). This cause the ring to break. Once this ring is broke. I am assuming the abs cant keep track of the vehicle's motion. It then throws the codes. To tell do a visible inspection looking for the ring to be compromised. Don't worry your wheel bearing might not be bad. You just have to go to chevy and spend 190$ on a new wheel bearing.

7 Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 04/01/2015

I hear a horrible grind when making a left hand turn after a stop, car also felt like it did not want to go forward causing hesitation in left hand turn - very dangerous with oncoming traffic. Have had it to mechanic many times, either they couldnt find the problem or would fix this or that and then problems right back within days if not hours. Occasionally get service stabilitrac and/or abs lights, usually lights would clear by next day when I took to mechanic and again they'd either find no problem or try a fix -still a problem. I believe they're going to try to replace wheel bearing next but from all forums I've read this doesn't seem to help people either, problem comes right back, recently rack and pinion had to be replaced costing $700 to fix, within 2 days I heard the grind, had hesitation on a left hand turn, noticed fluid under my vehicle upon return home, hoped it was a/c condensation, within days the power steering is going out again - turns out new rack and pinion is leaking and car is completely out if power steering fluid again after 2 weeks. I can't help but wonder if the sound and grind isn't what's causing my rack and pinion issues as well? have owned 2 years now with this problem continuously throughout ownership of the vehicle. Approx. 68k miles on it when purchased now almost 90k have to be very cautious making left hand turns that there is no oncoming traffic as hesitation may cause you to get hit if vehicle can't turn in time. Have to completely let off gas and try again sometimes still grinds if so repeat is all you can do. Becoming very scary and costly with no fix found so far!!! please investigate! multiple posts regarding same issue some on newer models, very much a safety issue I can't even teach my child to drive in the car as I am afraid for their safety in it, as well as my own safety ever time I try to make a left hand turn.

14 Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 10/22/2010

I had purchased a 2010 Chevrolet Impala in July, 2010. The first attempt at repair of the front end vibration was on 10/22/2010. The dealership did not recognize the vibration. The vehicle tires were rotated on 01/26/11 in an attempt to stop the vibration in the front end. The vehicle was taken in on 03/18/11 for front end noise (thump) while turning the wheels. The vehicle was taken in on 07/07/11 for the thumping noise in the front end while turning the wheels. The vehicle was taken in on 07/28/11 for a front end thumping noise when turning the wheels. The vehicle was taken in on 08/16/11 for a front end thumping noise and the dealership notices the tires were wearing slightly cupped on the inside edge. The vehicle was taken in on 09/08/11 for a whining noise from tne engine bay and power steering fluid was flushed. The vehicle was taken in on 04/09/12 for front end thumping noise, wheel bearing, transmission surge, and whine noise from radio. The vehicle was taken in on 06/27/12 for rough idle, tire replacement, transmission. The vehicle was taken in on 07/27/12 for rough idle, transmission surge, thump noise in front end and whine noise in radio. The vehicle was taken in on 10/05/12 for transmission surge, rough idle, thump noise in front end, and whine noise in radio. The outcome at this point is the dealership tried to reprogram the vehicle, gm approved replacement of all four tires, a replacement of the power steering pump, wheel bearing on driver front side. The dealerships have done two throttle body cleanings. The dealership has stated they will replace the rotors but gm would not approve replacement only turning on the rotors. This case has been opend with the better business bureau whom advised me to contact NHTSA. Gm refuses to replace parts because their computer system cannot tell them what is wrong with the vehicle. Gm has recalled the police vehicles for front end suspension and has a lawsuit pending in michigan for personal vehicl.
