What 1998 Chevrolet Impala owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The steering was hard when making a left turn, as if the van didn't have any power steering. Making right turns didn't require any effort at all, it turned too easy. City chevrolet fixed the problem. I have the same problem as the other ventures that were listed in the recall. For the safety of my family I had to get the problem fixed and couldn't wait for a manufacture recall on my van's VIN# because at that time there wasn't a recall
