70,000 miles, stabiltrak warning on startup and engine power loss. Error message was about a sensor, replaced the hub and the wiring harness to fix. So far no more problems but I've seen this issue countless times and I'm surprised there wasn't a recall yet.

Abs light comes on stabiltrac light comes on brakes pulse and grind on occasion don't want to stop at times like your on ice
The vehicle would not stop after applying brakes made awful noise and I rear ended a car. It was clear, dry and sunny at the time and should have been able to stop. I believe the stabilitrak system is faulty. The tire pressure sensor has now started coming on since the car accident. The dealer that the body shop took the car to after it fixed the front bumper said it's not the tire sensor that's bad.

The tires continually loose air. The dealer way back when said tires were my expense. Took it to discount tire and they said the rims are not smooth enough for a tight seal. I need to add air every 2 weeks without fail. Now I'm past the 36 month warranty.

The first time was in dec. 2013. Everytime I backed up I heard a clunk. I took it to the dealership and was told it was a bad right rear wheel hub. I was in luck because it was covered by my extended warranty minus the 100.00 deductible. The car only had 40,000 miles on it. The second time was today,3/14/2014. I went in for a state inspection and was told that the right front hub was bad. The warranty covered it again. The car only has 42,190 on it. Only 2000 miles between occurrences. Something is seriously wrong here. Also I was just told of a recall on the power steering hose. Does this include my 2012 impala?
I was rotating the tires at home. When replacing the wheels I started and snagged the lug nuts by hand. I went to torque the lug nuts to specifications (100 foot pounds) using a torque wrench. One of the right front lug nuts would not stop turning way before reaching the specified torque. As I continued to turn the wrench, the stud snapped off. One of the lugs/studs next to it also felt suspicious. I took it to the dealer and had all studs and lugs replaced on that wheel as I am afraid there may be a bad batch of studs. The parts have been saved if needed for testing. I was a mechanic in the 1960's and have been doing this work on my own and family vehicles since then. I can not recall ever snapping a stud before.
