Rear steering knuckle and control arm knuckle.my car moves side to side. I have replaced everything in the rear end. I just recently bought this car.

I just bought this car 2 weeks ago. Had to replace the windshield wiper pump. There are at least 10 TSBs on the vehicle I'm on disability I can't afford to fix all that. The rear hub bearing was barely making noise when I bought it. Now tire feels like it's going to fall off. I believe there's a TSB on when you put the car in park and shut it off then it's not going in to gear even though it said it's into gear so I have to get that fixed as well. Can't Chevy fix thermostats just like I have to fix my mistakes in life.

The vehicle currently has 15,593 miles and 2 of the continental tires have developed bubbles and have been replaced. Vehicle leased new in june, 2016. Both continental and gm claim they do not have a problem and have disregarded my concern. The tires were replaced by the chev dealer at my expense with goodyear tires. I still have 2 continental tires on the vehicle and have 22 months remaining on my lease and I am very concerned. Gm and continental have a big problem they are ignoring. I have written to gm's ceo mary barra, who passed my concern to the customer service people, but not the safety folks at gm.
