ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST, 2014 ON MY CAR. IT IS NOW OCT, AND WHEN I CALL ANYONE, I ONLY GET TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS THAT IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE THE NOTICE, AND GM HAS KNOW FOR OVER A YEAR ABOUT THIS DEFECT. IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT THEY ARE VERY INTERESTED IN GETTING THIS DEFECT CORRECTED. THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THIS ARE NOT DIFFICULT TO MAKE OR INSTALL NOR ARE THEY EXPENSIVE. WHAT IS THE HOLD-UP? DO ADDITIONAL PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE WHILE THEY DAWDLE? DOESN'T THE HIGHWAY SAFETY COMMISSION HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THESE REPAIRS DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER, OR ARE THEY AS INEFFECTIVE AS OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES? *TR

THIS CAR HAS HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM AND WHEN THE CAR HEATS UP MY BRAKES DON'T WORK RITE IT IS VERY SCARY AT TIMES WHEN I DON'T KNOW IF MY BRAKES ARE GOING TO STOP ME FROM GOING INTO TRAFFIC OR NOT. I HAVE REPLACED MANY PARTS AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. MY CAR IS ON THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT I'M NOT SURE IS THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE AROUND ANYMORE. AND MY QUESTION TO U GUYS IS Y DO THESE MANUFACTURING COMPANY KEEP ON GETTING TO MAKE UNSAFE CARS AND CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE MONEY OFF THE CONSUMER. TO ME THAT IS NOT FAIR. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED WITH NO OUT COME ITS STILL A P.O.S. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING 2011 CHEVY IMPALA IN CITY TRAFFIC. SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING MESSAGES RECEIVED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT INTERMITTENT INTERVALS IN THE TWO YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. IN SOME INSTANCES, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING IS LOST MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESEARCH, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF I PULL OVER WHEN THE WARNING MESSAGES DISPLAY, SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAIT APPROX 10 MIN, THE CAR WILL START AGAIN, THE MESSAGES WILL BE GONE, AND THE CAR WILL DRIVE NORMALLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND THEN GOES OFF WITHIN A DAY OR TWO. *TR
