MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10 APRIL,2003, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER/ EXHAUST SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED, MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 47,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS JUST BARELY 2 YEARS OLD???? THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER, THE PARTS WERE REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED, BUT.... THE VEHICLE STILL DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER THAT IT SHOULD HAVE AND THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING LIKE IT SHOULD, NOW I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT THAT IT SENT PIECES THOUGH THE LINES IN THE CAR, I DID ASK THE DEALER IF THIS WOULD BE CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RESPONSE WAS (IT SHOULDN'T) NOW THIS DOES SOUND LIKE A PROBLEM TO ME.... I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND GIVE ME A REAL ANSWER ON THIS PROBLEM...THE PROBLEM THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD IS KIND OF UNHEARD OF IN THE EARLY STAGE OF MILEAGE AND AGE.. THE DEALERSHIP WAS EVEN CONFUSED ON THE PROBLEM, ALL COMPUTERS THAT THE CAR WAS PLACED ON BY DIFFERENT SHOPS SHOULD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR, UNTIL IT WAS PUT ON A FLAT BED AND TAKEN TO THE DEALER.... I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME IN THIS MATTER.... *NLM

THE VEHICLE HEAD LIGHTS FLICKER INTERMITTENTLY WHICH CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY. *NLM *MR

STEERING SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE...TOO HARD TO TURN. THIS HAS CAUSED THE FINGERS AND THUMBS TO BECOME DEFORMED (TWISTED AND BENT) FROM TURNING THE STIFF WHEEL. I ALSO HAVE A NECK PAIN WHICH LEADS TO A PAIN SHOOTING UP THE BACK SIDE OF MY NECK AND CAUSING A HEADACHE. THESE PROBLEMS STARTED AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2001 IMPALA. *NLM
