We bought this 2002 chevrolet impala in april of 2002. Fortunately, we purchased the extended warranty. We have had continuous problems with the traction control system. Initially, the warranty covered the malfunctions: wheel sensors, modules, brake pump, wiring, etc. Were replaced. Shortly after each repair, the system failed again. When the warranty expired we continued to experience system malfunctions, replacing part after part.
