Replying to: cnw (Dec 24, 2007 4:28 pm) Funny you should mention the right-rear because that's where my sound is coming from. Here's another tip for anyone else who suspects a problem: fold down your rear seats and test your car. Any noise from the rear suspension is MUCH louder with the seats down. I discovered this by accident since I have my seats down to aid in hauling around a lot of "stuff" during the holidays. My symptom is more like a crunchy-squeak sound as the springs are flexed. So far, the best way to repeat this is to go over speed bumps slowly. I still have the proper 1 1/2 bounce but that first "1" is very noisy in the right rear. Thanks for the input, Clark! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Ron |

Hi all,i have a 06 Impala LT with the 3.5 V6. Love the car for the most part but i have this annoying little rattle/clunk from the steering column. You can't hear it as much as feel it in the steering wheel. When turning wheel and accelerating from a stop or just stopped and release the brake and apply it again quickly,you can feel slight movement in the column. It's not like a loose steering wheel and doesn't seem to affect anything,just an annoying little feeling. The car has 21,000 miles on it and i purchased it used at 19,000. I love the car really and this about all i can nit pick at. Thanks all in advance.

Replying to: partyuv5 (Jan 21, 2008 1:01 pm) The remote range issue can also be addressed by the dealer. I believe that Chevrolet has issued a Technical Service Bulletin for the issue. Last time I was in for routine maintenance, a gentleman in the waiting room was having his Impala fixed due to range issues with his remote keyless entry.

Replying to: partyuv5 (Jan 22, 2008 8:19 am) See my post (#84) regarding the ISS. I had mine replaced under warranty and that hasn't been the usual. Mine started clunking at around 25,000 miles and got progressively worse. Both of your issues, ISS and remote range, should be fixed under warranty. There is a TSB for the remote range that involves replacing the receiver and issuing new FOBs so you DEFINITELY want to get that done before your warranty expires. Good luck and keep us posted on your experience! Ron

My '06 SS has been getting progressively noiser in the rear suspension. Originally, I thought it was only the right side but now it seems to be both sides. It seems to be worse when the car is cold. I don't hear it much in the mornings since my car stays in the garage but when I leave from work, after the car has fully chilled during the day, it is much worse. Anyone else having similar issues?

I bought my 06 Impala with 53,000 miles on it about a week ago. I have loved it, up until yesterday, when while just driving along one of the mall roads, it started to make a strange squealy whiny sound that came from the steering column area. When that sound started, it was nearly impossible to turn the car. It ran fine and shifted, etc without a problem, but when I had to turn on a road that was just about impossible. I barely made it back into my driveway -had to use two hands to get it to turn enough to get in the driveway. Needless to say, I'm a bit "peeved" about this. I have to get a rental car today to be able to make it to work Monday on time. I'll have to call the dealer promptly at 730am Monday morning to have them come TOW it back to the shop where they will have to repair it. This really ticks me off, because my car I traded in for this one, a 1997 chevy lumina with 145,000 miles on it NEVER failed me. It had misc. little issues, but I was always able to get to work and back and drive around without any problems.
