| Tl*- the contact stated that while driving the 2004 chevrolet impala with failure mileage 28,000 he noticed that whenever turning the steering wheel he heard a knocking noise. he took the vehicle to the dealer initially because he thought it was a steering problem. however, the technician told him that it had to do with the structure frame and members of the wheels. the contact stated that the technician replaced a rod on the tire, but it did not correct the failure. the technician told him that the vehicle was out of warranty, and that he would be responsible for the cost of all repairs. the contact already paid $150.00 in repair costs, and the failure had not been resolved. the current mileage was 30,000 miles. *ak | |||
