ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY 2014 CHEVY IMPALA MISFIRES WHILE DRIVING AND LOSES AND REGAINS POWER WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND IT IS THE ROCKER ARM CONTROL VALVE SOLENOIDS. I DID SOME RESEARCH IT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR 2014/2015 IMPALAS AND MALIBU'S. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. ALSO, THIS PART HAS BEEN ON BACKORDER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS SO OWNERS ARE HAVING TO DRIVE WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PASSENGER SIDE BLIND ZONE INDICATOR LIGHT IN THE MIRROR IS MALFUNCTIONING. EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF THE THE LIGHT IS FLICKERING ON AND OFF. I HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS REPLACED. I EVEN ASKED IF THERE WAS A WAY TO ASSURE THAT THIS WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WOULDN'T, BEHOLD IT'S BACK BUT NOW MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOT HAPPY AND CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE MAY CAUSE A ELECTRICAL FIRE WHILE IT IS PARKED IN MY GARAGE OR HAVE A ISSUE WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY.

ENGINE
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR USED AT A DEALERSHIP. BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE, THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO FIX ALL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. I WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON DUE TO A ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL VALVE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR A PART THAT'S ON BACKORDER AND THE PART NEEDED IS GM #12633613 ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL VALVE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH MYSELF, I DISCOVERED THIS PART FAILS COMMONLY ON MY VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS WELL AS 2014-2015 CHEVY MALIBUS PRODUCED WITH THE SAME ENGINE. GM NOR ANY AFTERMARKET COMPANIES HAVE THIS PART IN STOCK. I'VE CONTACTED GM AND WAS ONLY TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THIS PART AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, A FEW OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM THAT THIS PART IS DISCONTINUED. THERE ARE PEOPLE WAITING MONTHS FOR THIS TO BE FIXED AND GM SEEMS NOT TO WANTING TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. I WOULD GET ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THEN I WOULD HAVE TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THE LOANER CAR I'M CURRENTLY DRIVING FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS GM'S PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE STEERING ASSIST DISABLED ALARM CAME ON. VEHICLE BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER !! TOOK EXTREME AMOUNT OF EFFORT TO TURN WHEEL AT ALL. WAY BEYOND WHAT A NORMAL NON ELECTRIC STEERING CAR WOULD TAKE WITH POWER STEERING OUT. VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MANAGED TO GET CAR OFF ROAD WITHOUT KILLING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. STEERING GONE. $3100 TO REPLACE. RIDICULOUS FOR A 4 YEAR OLD CAR.

HELLO, I HAVE A GENERAL QUESTION ABOUT VEHICLE SAFETY AS IT RELATES TO AUTOMOBILE RECALLS/SAFETY BULLETINS FOR CHEVROLET. I OWN A CHEVROLET VEHICLE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE 2 ISSUES WITH MY CAR, ONE OF THEM DIRECTLY RELATED TO AIRBAGS AND THEM DEPLOYING CORRECTLY. CHEVROLET HAS ONLY ISSUED A SAFETY BULLETIN, AND HAS SET RIDICULOUS LIMITS TO WHAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO COVER. I WANT TO KNOW HOW THE DOT HAS NOT REQUIRED THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE ON THEIR COST. WITH THIS BEING RELATED TO SAFETY I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS WAS A VERY IMPORTANT MATTER. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SPEAK FURTHER ON THIS. FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME BACK, AND IF SOMEONE WOULD BE WILLING TO SPEAK ON THAT AS WELL. THANKS

BLIND SPOT WARNING SYSTEM MODULE SENSOR 23424941 ISSUE I JUST HAD MY REAR BUMPER REPLACED BY THE AUTO BODY SHOP. WHEN THEY WENT TO PULL BOTH MODULES OUT AND PLACE THEM INTO THE NEW BUMPER, BOTH OF THEM WOULD NOT FIT DUE TO A CORNER OF THE MODULES EXPANDING FROM CORROSION FROM INSIDE THE MODULE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENTS FROM GM.

2016 POLICE IMPALA WITH 63,829 CAUGHT FIRE AND IS NO LONGER USABLE. THE OFFICER PARKED AND LOCKED THE CAR UP TO DO A FOOT PATROL AROUND BUILDING 33 ON DLA RICHMOND. WHEN HE RETURNED TO THE CAR, KEYFOB WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR SO HE OPENED IT MANUALLY. WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR, THE SMOKE FROM THE FIRE BILLOWED OUT, BUT THE FIRE WAS ALREADY OUT. THE DLA FIRE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT THE FIRE STARTED AT THE DRIVER SEAT ELECTRIC MOTOR. MAINTENANCE RECORDS INDICATE THE SEAT MOTOR WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED/REPLACED BY HERITAGE CMA CHEVROLET ON AUGUST 24, 2018.
