Description of the problem | 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 |
