| When pulling out my parking spot, the traction control/abs light comes on and stays on for the duration of my drive which is usually just around 9 miles (i drive to and from work). this has been going on for months and happens every time i pull out from a parking spot. on some occations when trying to stop the brakes make a grinding noise and it takes a bit more effort than usual to stop. what could be causing the traction/abs light to come on everytime i drive my car. | |||

| New 2004 chevy impala ls first use 3/23/05. three times since purchase i've had to replace a wheel bearing & hub assembly. march of 2006 the right rear, january of 2008 the left rear, october of 2009 the right front. each time the abs and service traction system lights were on. i paid $636.31 this last time. this appears to be a poor design and a safety issue which could lead to the car being undriveable. i was told that the tires would begin to wobble and the steering would be affected if not repaired within a certain amount of time. i've seen on line i'm not the only one who has had a problem with this defect. i'm concerned that the 4th one will fail, or the other 3 that have been replaced will fail again. i am #1 concerned with my safety & the safety of others on the road. i am also concerned about the money i've had to pay because of this design defect. *tr | |||

| 2004 chevy impala: in aug 2007 had passenger side wheel hubs replaced. that wa at 54,000 miles. now it is march 2008 and 25,000 miles later they needed replaced again. i have heard that if they fail all the way the wheel locks. is this not a safety issue?? there are others out there who have had the same problem and the gm dealers ignore it. *tr | |||

| The tires keep loosing air it takes about 2 days for them to loose about 10lbs. they are leaking because of corrosion of the wheel where the tire bead has to seal. the car has the indy special edition chrome plated aluminum wheels. the problem is caused by the chrome peeling off of the aluminum in the bead area the corrosion causes deep pits that will not let the tire seal. the dealership recommended to put inner tubes in the tires which are unsafe because of sudden deflation in case of a puncture. the wheels would cost i think over $2000 to replace the set. i think this is very bad quality on chevy part. 4 wheels bad on a car is not a normal maintenance issue. it is a safety issue because of the constant air loss. 2004 chevy impala ss indy edition. *tr | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated the plastic housing cap that covers the hub nuts broke off which made the tire difficult to remove. although this occurred twice on the right rear hub cap housing, the other plastic housings were not affected. the vehicle was seen by a dealer and the plastic housings were replaced at the consumer's expense. updated 2/27/2006 - *nm | |||
