2003 Chevrolet Impala Steering Problems

ON 3/21/2021 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR ABOUT 25 MILES, WHEN MY 2003 CHEVY IMPALA STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE AND IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE WITH EACH TURN. MY HUSBAND SOON REALIZED IT HAD TO BE THE POWER STEERING FLUID. SO HE PUT A BOTTLE OF POWER STEERING FLUID IN AND AFTER STARTING AND DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES THE CAR WAS BACK TO NORMAL! SO I PROCEEDED TO GET BACK ON THE FREEWAY TO HEAD HOME. AS SOON AS WE GOT TO OUR EXIT ABOUT 23 MILES FROM WHERE WE HAD JUST PUT THE FLUID IN. IT STARTED MAKING THE SAME WHINING NOISE. SO BACK TO THE STORE FOR MORE POWER STEERING FLUID. HE FILLS IT UP. THE NEXT MORNING SAME PROBLEMS. WE KNOW NOW THERE IS A LEAK IN OUR POWER STEERING BUT NOT SURE WHERE EXACTLY. MY CAR NOW SITS AS WE CAN'T AFFORD TO BE ADDING BOTTLE AFTER BOTTLE OF POWER STEERING FLUID TO MY CAR EVERYTIME WE NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE. MY HUSBAND BELIEVES WE HAVE RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUES THAT HAVE RECENTLY BEEN REPORTED BY NHTSA ID# 11316116 BEING POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE RUBS AGAINST SOME PART OF THE MOTOR AND RUBBER HOLE IN POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE.

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. IT SEEMS TO BE PRIMARILY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. SOMETIMES IT'S COMPLETELY LOCKED AND SOMETIMES IT IS JUST VERY HARD TO TURN. FROM RESEARCH I HAVE DONE I BELIEVE IT MAY BE THE STEERING SHAFT CAUSING THE ISSUE. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING.

MY 2003 IMPALA HAS A SECURITY PASSLOCK FEATURE WHICH EITHER DOES NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO START OR SHUT VEHICLE OFF WHEN IT THINKS IT'S BEING STOLEN. MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHEN THIS SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON, AT THIS POINT I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF VEHICLE FUNCTIONS. THIS IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OS GM VEHICLES THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT BUT GIVE NO SOLUTION OR RECALL TO. INSTEAD, CONSUMERS ARE BEING STUCK FOOTING THE BILL TO TRY AND FIND A SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO SOLVE. PLEASE HELP HOLD GM RESPONSIBLE AND REPAIR OUR VEHICLES BEFORE FATALITIES OCCUR. THERE ARE PAGES OF POSTS IN SEVERAL FORUMS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO HELP. *TR

THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON THE DASH PANEL AND MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND PULL TO ONE SIDE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE PROBLEM QUICKLY GREW INTO THE CAT CONSTANTLY PULLS TO ONE SIDE AND THE STEERING FEELS SLOPPY AND LOOSE IF THAT MAKES SENSE. THE TRACTION CONTROL DOESN'T WORK BUT WILL RANDOMLY KICK IN WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR INSTANTLY FEELS AS IF THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED AND GRINDER BUT THE WORSE PART IS HOW THE PULLING TO ONE SIDE BECOMES A QUICK GRAB AND JERK TO ONE SIDE AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AND I CANNOT RELAX AND DRIVE. I AM ALWAYS TENSE AND READY TO FIGHT TO KEEP MY CAR GOING STRAIGHT AND NOW WITH THE BAD MICHIGAN WINTER ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE ON SOME DAYS. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TRACTION CONTROL PUMP WHICH IS GOING TO COST AROUND $2500 AND UP DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY FIND BUT WILL AUTOMATICALLY START AT $2500. THAT COST IS RIDICULOUS AND I HAVE TALKED TO PROB APPROX A HUNDRED PEOPLE WHO EITHER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OR KNEW OF SOMEONE WHO DOES, OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. MY CAR IS NOW PARKED AND I HAVE TO BEG FOR RIDES TO WORK BECAUSE ITS WINTER AND I CANNOT PUT MYSELF AND OTHERS IN DANGER WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TO WORK AND TRANSPORT KIDS TO DIFFERENT EVENTS AND FEEL THAT THIS PART HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE FROM THE START IF THERE'S THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. AND ALL OF THE SAME EXACT COMPLAINTS FOUND ONLINE. PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU TO CHECK INTO THIS ISSUE TO SEE IF A RECALL IS NECESSARY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET IMPALA W/ DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON CAR FROM FACTORY. WHILE DRIVING EARLY 4:00 AM IN THE MORNING, THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS WITH NO STREETS LIGHTS. I PUT MY HIGH BEAMS ON. WITHIN A SECOND ALL EXTERIOR, AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WHEN OUT. THIS IS TOTALLY UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS. THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS NOT THE CONSUMER. NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS.

I WAS SIX BLOCKS FROM HOME, SO DROVE SLOWLY AND VERY SLOWLY FOR THE NEXT 2 LEFT TURNS IN WHICH ON THE 2ND LEFT TURN THE BUMPING SOUND HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAS FRIGHTENED ME SO THAT I AM PETRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR. PLAN TO TAKE TO A MECHANIC BUT WITH ASSISTANCE. *TR

DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE STEERING COLUMN SQUEALS AND KLUNKS. WHEN THE CONSUMER TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL IT KLUNKS. IT DID NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME,-PER THE CONSUMER. TTOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 11 TIMES BECAUSE IT KLUNKED. THE CONSUMER HAS BEEN TRYING TO HAVE THIS FIXED 2 YEARS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HEARD THE NOISE. WHEN THE CONSUMER TAKES THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND IT IS NOT MAKING THE NOISE, THE DEALER WON'T FIX IT. THEY HAVE PUT IN A NEW COLUMN TWICE. THE CONSUMER WAS A MONTH LATE ON FILING ON THE LEMON LAW. THE OWNER JUST DOES NOT WANT THE CAR. THE CAR IS A 2003 CHEVY IMPALA. *AKTHE OWNER HAS TALKED TO GM AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE TO THE CONSUMER.
