| I have got the third steering column, third set of tires and a new cradle. the problem started at 4437 miles and has continued yet @ 37204 miles. have been to many dealers, contacted gm and now have a better business bureau complaint filed. the dealers told me it was the tires and the tire dealers told me it was the car. in 4000 miles my tires went from 9/32 to 3/32 wear. the klunk in the front end is still there. the vehicle likes to wander down the road with vibrations felt in the steering wheel. the service manager took it on many test drives and contacted the regional manager=who said not another dime in this car. i was escorted to the sales department and introduced to a salesman for purposes of trading the vehicle in. the offer was less than nada trade value. i have contacted gm's assistance line many times and just got the run around with operators documenting conversation and no one would let me talk to a real supervisor. all i wanted to do was ask for a fair solution to the problems that the dealers and gm know that they have. my vehicle is now out of warranty with the same problems since i bought it. why = if gm states in their literature = they are committed to customer satisfaction = not responsive in a fair manner and i had to take this issue to all of these extremes????????????? also at issue = is the fact that gm penalizes dealers (with bad customer surveys) due to the manufacturers engineering problems. what happened to telling the truth and customer satisfaction in business?????????

| I have a 2000 impala vin# 2g1wf52e7y9204139. i have been hearing a noise from the steering column and everytime i push the gas the steering wheel turns to the left. it is not my alignment because i had gotten it realigned and i can feel it when i brake as well. it is hard to turn the steering wheel because of this problem. also my low tire pressure light will not go off even when it is programmed to go off manually it still stays on. i was told i need a new ebcsm. i just bought this car and am still paying on it. i heard others with the same model and yr have the same troubles with the steering. *jb | |||
