2011 Chevrolet Impala Tires & Wheels Problems

WHEN I GOT THE CAR I NEW IT NEEDED NEW TIRES SO I WENT TO THE TIRE SHOP FRO.M THE DEALERSHIP BUT I ASK THE DEALER IF THE CAR HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD FEEL IT SHIMMY HE WAS TRYING TO SALE ME AND 2009 BUT I COULD HERE ITS POWER STEERING PUMP WAS OUT THEY WERE BOTH THE SAME PRICE IT ONLY MADE SINCE TO GET THE NEWER CAR. AFTER PUTTING NEW TIRES ON I SEEN IT NEEDED OIL CHANGE THEN AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED SERVICED. WHILE I WAS DOING THAT I CALLED TO ASK THE GUY IF HE WAS GOING TO HELP ME OUT. LOL YEA BRING IT IN ALL CHARGE YOU TWICE AS MUCH AS THE PLACE YOU ARE AT RIGHT NOW SO I LET HIM KNOW I WOULD LET ALL MY FRIENDS KNOW. IT WAS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. ITS BEEN ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER THEN THE FLAPPER FOR THE VENT STARTED FLAPPING AND MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE ALL THE TIME THERE NO WORKING AIR CONDITIONING SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT NEEDS BRAKES AND ROTTERS AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON SO I WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE 29.9 INTERESTED THE LOAN OFFICE CONTRACT ME BECAUSE IM PAYING IT OFF TO FAST AND SAYS I SIGNED TO WRONG LOAN AGREEMENT AND WANTS MORE MONEY THERE IN CAHOOTS TOGETHER IT WOULDNT LET ME MARK EVERYTHING THATS WRONG

WHEN COMING TO A STOP MY ABS SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE BRAKE LIGHTS ALL COME ON THEN MY 2011 HESITATION TO STOP WHEN BRAKING. EVEN IF I GO SLOW OR JUST STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. IT PUSHES MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. A CRANKING NOISE SOUND. I HAVE GOTTEN BRAKE, TIRE RODS, ROADERS AND NEW TIRES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THIS HAPPENS SPECIFICALLY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN HAVING TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I ALMOST CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. MIND YOU MY CAR ONLY HAS 65000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS JUST TOO SOON.

'SERVICE STABILITRAK' 'SERVICE TRACTION' 'SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM' WARNINGS ALERTING ONLY WHEN TURNING VEHICLE TO THE LEFT. ONLY LUMINATES DURING TURN, THEN TURNS OFF. ALERTS SHOW ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS AND AT ALL SPEEDS. NO CODES PULLED FROM COMPUTER.

I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY FRONT LEFT HUB AFTER REPLACING. I HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS AS WELL. WONDERED IF THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT MAKES A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE DESCRIBED TO ME AS THE HUB ADJUSTING THE SPEED OF ONE TIRE TO MATCH THE OTHER. IT ALSO FLASHES BRAKE ASSIST AND STABILITRACK ISSUES AS WELL AS ANTI LOCK ALERT. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY TURNING LEFT BUT MOST RECENTLY EVEN WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD.

MY CAR HAS WARN OUT TWO SETS OF TIRES ON THE REAR . THE STILL IS SHOWING . I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN THE FRONT TIRES TO WARE OUT TWICE AS FAST AS THE REAR. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT HAPPENING WITH THIS IMPALA. FOR SOME REASON THE STEEL IN THE TIRES ARE ALWAYS SHOWING CLOSE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE TIRE. I DON'T DRIVE MUCH SO THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR ME. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME WITH THE TIRES THAT CAME ON THE CAR, I BOUGHT A NEW SET AND HAD THE CAR ALIGNED. IT HAS DONE IT AGAIN SO I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR.

PURCHASED SET OF 4 YOKOHAMA ASCEND 225/55TR17 ON AUGUST 27,2013 TO REPLACE OEM TIRES. A FRONT END ALIGNMENTS WAS COMPLETED @ 3,385 MILES BEFORE THE PURCHASE. ANOTHER FRONT END ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED @ 26,327 MILES ON JULY 2, 2015. TIRES WERE MAINTAINED AT 35PSI WITH ROTATIONS OCCURRING AT 6344, 26327, 33445 & 41614. WITH STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION OCCURRING, IT WAS DETERMINED TIRE SEPARATION OCCURRED ON THE RIGHT FRONT AT 49,179 MILES. TIRE WAS REPLACED AT A PRORATED RATE ON MAY 16, 2016. ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2016 A SIMILAR STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION WAS NOTICED APPROXIMATE 600 MILES FROM HOME. UPON NEARING HOME, EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE OSCILLATIONS WHERE OBSERVED AT SPEEDS >45MPH. ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2016 IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A SECOND TIRE HAD SEPARATED, THIS TIME IT WAS THE LEFT FRONT AT 49,625 MILES. TIRE WAS REPLACED AT A PRORATED BASIS. ALL MILEAGES ARE STATED IN TREAD WEAR WITH THIS COMPLAINT BEING BASED ON FMVSS & CFR EXPERIENCE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEELS HAD SEIZED IN THE FRONT AND THE REAR WHEN, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE CONTACT HAD REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR ALIGNMENT NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE PART. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED WHICH WAS UNREASONABLE FOR THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 TIRES. VIBRATION AT 60 MPH CHEV DEALER CHECKED VEHICLE RECENTLY AND SAID THAT IN 3 OF THE 4 TIRES, THE STEEL BANDS HAD SHIFTED AND THAT THE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

THE INSIDE OF THE FACTORY INSTALLED GOODYEAR TIRE SPLIT. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER ANOTHER TIRE FAILED. ON 4/13/14 THE THIRD TIRE FAILED. ALL SPLIT ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. *JS

ALL 4 TIRES SHOWED TREAD SEPARATION WITH MILEAGE BETWEEN 34000 AND 49000 MILES. THE TREAD BUBBLED UP ON THE INSIDE TREAD EDGE OF ALL TIRES. I HAD 3 FLAT TIRES DUE TO THIS DEFECT. GOODYEAR ONLY OFFERED WHAT THEY CALLED "GOOD WILL" REPLACEMENT AT ABOUT HALF PRICE. I PAID TO HAVE THE FIRST 2 REPLACE ON 02/16/2013 AND 11/04/2013. BOTH OF THESE TIRES WENT DOWN AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING. ON 11/19/2013 I ROTATED THE TIRES AND NOTICED THE REMAINING 2 ORIGINAL TIRES WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF SEPARATION ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE TREAD. CONTACTED GOODYEAR AND THEY WOULD ONLY DISCOUNT THEM BY HALF AFTER HAVING 4 OUT OF 4 TIRES GO BAD. I LEFT THE GOODYEAR STORE AND AM HAVING 4 MICHELIN TIRES PUT ON. I THINK GOODYEAR SHOULD REFUND ME WHAT THE FIRST 2 TIRES COST ME AND THEY CAN HAVE THEM BACK. I DON'T THINK THESE TIRES SHOULD BE ON THE ROAD THEY ARE NOT SAFE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE CAR STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS UNEVEN. I GOT TO WHERE I COULD PULL OVER AND FOUND A BALLOON GROWING OUT OF THE SIDE OF MY TIRE. THE CAR IS NOT THAT OLD AND THE TIRES IN MY PAST IMPALA'S HAVE LASTED MUCH LONGER. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS. I HAD TO CALL SOMEONE TO HELP ME SO THAT IT DIDN'T EXPLODE AND CAUSE MORE DAMAGE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2011 CHEVY IMPALA AT THE END OF DECEMBER 2012. SINCE THEN, I HAVE PUT ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2 TIRES. UNFORTUNATELY, STARTING ON JUNE 13, 2013 I HAVE HAD A SERIES OF SIDEWALL BLOWOUTS. THE FIRST BLOWOUT WAS JUNE 13. THE SECOND WAS JULY 29. THE THIRD WAS AUGUST 27. THE FIRST TWO BLOWOUTS HAPPENED WHILE AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, THE THIRD ONE HAPPENED WHILE IN TOWN AND DRIVING LESS THAN 25 MPH. I HEARD A SOUND VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I HEARD PRIOR TO THE OTHER TWO BLOWOUTS, SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED MY TIRES. I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE BUBBLE THAT FORMED ON THE INSIDE SIDEWALL. NOT THREE MINUTES LATER, THAT BUBBLE BLEW OUT AND THE TIRE QUICKLY DEFLATED. THIS IS NOW THREE TIRES, ALL GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2, THAT HAVE BLOWN OUT IN LESS THAN THREE MONTHS. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LEFT AT NHTSA, I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH MY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SHOP OWNER AT THE TIRE STORE TOLD ME "THAT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, A FAULTY AND BUSTED BELT" UPON SEEING THE PHOTO OF THE BUBBLE. *TT

I'M A 68 YEAR OLD MALE DRIVER,WHO WHEN BUYING A PRODUCT EXPECT A QUALITY MADE AMERICAN PRODUCT. I HAVE HAD TWO SIDEWALL FAILURES ON THE OEM EQUIPMENT TIRES THAT CAME ON MY CAR. THE PROBLEMS WERE POTENTIALLY OF A FATAL NATURE IF NOT DISCOVERED DURING A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CHECK. I OWN TWO VEHICLES WITH THE EAGLE LS-2 TIRES, I HAVE BEEN TOLD GOODYEAR DOES NOT WARRANT SIDEWALL FAILURES. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2 TIRES, SIZE: P225/55R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE HAD BLOWN FROM THE INSIDE WALL BUT THE OUTER WALL WAS STILL HOLING AIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OFFERED TO PAY FOR A PORTION OF THE TIRES. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE ON THE TIRES AND THE VEHICLE WAS 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
