Summary:	I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY IMPALA, CURRENTLY WITH 22,320 MILES. AT MY OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION, (~20,500) I WAS INFORMED BY REPAIR PLACE THAT THEY WOULD NOT PERFORM THE TIRE ROTATION AS I WOULD BE NEEDING TO REPLACE THE TIRES SOON. I ASKED WHY THEY WERE WEARING SO FAST- I WAS TOLD, THEY NOTICED IT ON MANY IMPALAS- PREMATURE TIRE WEAR BETWEEN 18,000-25,000 MILES. ~ 15 MONTHS AGO, WITH ONLY ABOUT 13,000 MILES, WHEN I HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE I WAS INFORMED ME THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING OIL FROM THE REAR OF THE ENGINE, I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE (UNDER WARRANTY) SEVERAL SEALS/GASKETS- OIL PAN, DRAIN PLUG, OIL FILTER, PLUS REPLACE THE DRAIN PLUG. THE CAR IS SOMETIMES HARD TO START AND HAVE TO HOLD THE KEY IN THE START POSITION, AND/OR LIGHTLY PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO START IT. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, I GRINDED THE STARTER. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL START ROUGHLY AND IMMEDIATELY STALL, OR WILL STALL THE FIRST FEW SECONDS AS I AM BACKING OUT THE DRIVE WAY. DEALER ABOUT THIS THEY TOLD ME I WAS USING CHEAP GAS AND TO USE A BETTER BRAND, BUT I ALWAYS USE "BRAND" GAS, I EVEN USE FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER DEALER LATER TOLD ME I NEEDED TO HAVE THE FUEL INJECTION "FLUSHED" WITH THEIR SYSTEM FOR $199, PLUS TAX AND CHARGES, HEARING IT WAS NOT GOOD FOR THE VEHICLE, I DECLINED. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED A "CLUNKING/BUMPING/BANGING" NOISE WHEN TURNING, ESPECIALLY HARD TURNS. MY BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED, THE FRONT BRAKES ARE STARTING TO MAKE A THUMP WHEN BRAKING, AND YESTERDAY WHEN BRAKING HARD, I HEARD A SQUEAL NOISE, (REAR?). FUEL GAUGE SOMETIMES RAPIDLY FLUCTUATES, WHEN DRIVING, AND AT TIMES WHEN ACCELERATING,(THOUGH NOT CONCURRENT) I HEAR A "SWOOSH/GARGLING" SOUND. I WAS ACCELERATING TOO HARD. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SWING AS MUCH AS A 1/4 TANK WHEN DRIVING BEFORE RECOVERING TO THE CORRECT POSITION. GAUGE SHOWS LOW FUEL LEVEL, LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON, I ONLY NEEDED 10-12 GALS TO FILL IT (~16 GALS). *TR
