What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that smoke started to emit from the rear of the vehicle and shortly after a fire started. The fire department was contacted and the fire extinguished on its own. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer. The technician stated that the brakes, brake pads and brake lines needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was awaiting further inspection of the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000.
While traveling at highway speed in light blowing snow, vehicle began to vibrate. Vibration was extreme and constant. After contacting two chevrolet dealerships we were advised it was a common problem with snow building up on rims. We were advised to power wash the inside of the rims. This was done and the problem was fixed. During the approximate 800 mile trip in and out of snow this had to be done twice. Chevrolet was contacted and we were advised there was nothing they could do.
