The TRUTH about my 2004 Impala with 53,000 miles. It has been in the shop four times in the last nine months for defective parts. My extended warranty that I PURCHASED covered it. GM wouldn't have touched it and issued no recalls for the defective parts. And now I have brake rotors that are terribly warped and the car shudders when I hit the brakes and neither the extended warranty nor GM will cover it. The DEALER said this is a common problem and GM knows since 2000 about it and has done nothing.

I really like the car - if I can keep it out of the shop.

I always buy American and often Chevy. But this car has left a bad taste in my mouth and GM doesn't care. I'm not saying this is the case with all GM owners. But I read and I hear that I am not alone with these issues.
