Bought my 2007 impala at local dealership. Was a rental with 12,000 miles on it. Always had a bumpy ride and it pulled a bit to the left. At a recent oil change, I asked for the tires to be rotated as it now had about 24,000 miles. Guy at oil place said I shouldn't rotate them since the better of the 4 tires were in the front already and with winter coming, was best to leave them as they were. Said they are wearing on the insides of the rear tires, down to the steel belts. I took it to the chevy dealer where I purchased it. They indicated they had one other complaint like this. Offered a 4-tire alignment that they would cover. This was not covered by gm warranty (would have been covered up to 7,000 miles). They then quoted me for 2 new tires to replace the rear tires. After some discussion, they were able to get their gm representative to cover part of the cost of the 2 new tires and the dealership covered the rest. I was given a loaner car for a night also. Dealership is fantastic. This is the 4th car I had purchased from them and they have great customer service. Gm on the other hand has a problem with these vehicles and should issue a recall to get alignments done on all of them before tires get in such bad shape! Kudos to my chevy dealership and shame on gm!

I had my 2007 chevy impala lt serviced at dyer chevy (vero beach,fl.) and since then the TPMS warning light has been coming on and off daily. Went in a few weeks later to have sensor reset and it stopped for a couple of days. Went in on 9/11/08 and had a detailed check while TPMS light was still on and got news that the sensor was bad and had to be replaced, as well as the 2 remote transmitters, since they would not work with the new receiver at a cost of $600 plus dollars.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that the brakes would squeak very loudly when the brake pedal was depressed. The dealer stated that the brakes were lubricated and should be fine. Two months later, the tire pressure sensor illuminated on the instrument panel. The dealer placed air into the tire and the sensor warning light illuminated again. The dealer stated that the sensor malfunctioned; therefore, it was replaced and recalibrated. The contact then began to hear a rattling noise coming from the rear passenger side. The dealer stated that the bracket for the exhaust manifold malfunctioned and was repaired. The latch mechanism on the driver's side door malfunctioned and caused the door to shake rapidly while in motion. The dealer replaced the door latch. While driving 40 MPH, he suddenly depressed the brake pedal to avoid a crash on the interstate. The driver's seat bracket snapped and threw the contact backwards into the rear seat.

We have two chevy impalas and both have less then 25,000 miles. They both had alignments, both went through two sets of tires, both went through two sets of brakes and rotors and one already needed a battery.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet impala. The vehicle has goodyear integrity, size 175/70r13 tires. While driving 30 MPH in the snow, the vehicle began to slide. The failure also occurred in wet and icy conditions. The dealer stated that the tires were defective and needed to be replaced; however, they did not specify the reason. The dot number, VIN, engine size, and number of cylinders were unknown. The current and failure mileages were 25,000.
Rear alignment not within specs from factory, caused rear tires to wear out prematurely. Front disk brake rotors and brakes unrepairable at 11,000 miles. Chevrolet would not cover repairs under warranty.
Goodyear integrity 225/60r16 tire got flat tire from small plastic debris. When tire was repaired it was pointed out the tire is over half worn at just barely 9,000 miles. Tire if kept on vehicle will require replacement before 17,000 miles. Also tire handles poorly in all conditions. Very loose handling and excessive tire noise on corners even at slow speeds.
Within 6 months of leasing a 07 impala, there has been three separate occasions my tire has lost all air pressure while parked within hours. 1st instance: between 10 a.m. And 1 p.m. The tire lost air to where the rim was touching the ground. 2nd instance: lost 1/2 of air overnight - again the rim touched the ground. I had pep boys and the dealership where I am leasing the vehicle examine the tire and both said nothing was wrong with the tire and it was probably someone letting the air out of the tire. Third instance: I left my vehicle in the garage overnight and woke up to the rim touching the ground. This ruled out someone letting the air out of the tire. I again took it to the chevy dealership who I am leasing through, and once again, I was told nothing was wrong with the tire.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that at 5,000 miles his goodyear integrity (175/70r13) tires failed. He noticed a bulge in the sidewall of the front passenger side tire. The front two tires were replaced and the front drivers side tire was used as a spare. Two weeks later, the spare had a bulge in the sidewall. The dot number and engine size were unknown. The current mileage is 5,807 and failure mileage was 5,000.
I have a 2007 chevy impala with 7800 miles on it. In january, my service TPMS warning light came on in my dash. It would go off after a few minutes. I also noticed at the same time that my remote keyless entry and remote start did not work more than 10 feet away from the vehicle. I took the car to a local dealership (graff chevrolet) and they informed me of an antenna that needed to be replaced. I was told that the part was unavailable for an undetermined amount of time. The dealership would not check to see if the tmps sensor in the left rear tire was defective like I asked them to. They said the new unreleased part should solve the problem, but they don't know for sure. The left rear sensor would always trigger the warning light, but the tire is properly inflated. Not being able to fix the problem is making me think that I have a flat tire on my car every time the light goes on.
Tl* - the contact has a 2007 chevrolet impala with an odometer reading of 3800 miles and has had computer failures. The contact stated that the tire pressure monitor dose not work, and the air bag light continually stays on. The contact took the car to the dealer (graff chevrolet ) they told him that the tire pressure monitor on over half of their new impalas don't work properly; and that they did not know why the air bag system lost its coding, but they did reinstall a new code.
Dt*: the contact stated the tire pressure monitor did not work properly. The vehicle was taken to the service dealer, who determined that the coax antenna needed to be replaced. Updated 12/28/2006 - the consumer was told that the part would not be available until 1/07. The remote start and remote door locks fail intermittently. The radio would turn off periodically. The high beams flickered.
