WHEN I COME TO A FULL STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, WHEN MY CAR TRIES TO USE THE AUTO STOP FEATURE THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT FAILS TO START BACK ON WHICH CAUSES IT TO FULLY TURN OFF WHILE THE KEY IS STILL TURNED AND THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AS IF THE CAR WAS STILL DRIVING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOR DO I KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT. I CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS THINKING THAT MIGHT OF BEEN THE PROBLEM BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME MALFUNCTION. PLEASE HELP.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THE INTAKE ROCKER ARM CONTROL VALVE SINCE DECEMBER 2019. APPARENTLY GM HAS DISCONTINUED THIS PART FOR MALIBUS AND IMPALAS. THEY ARE SAYING IT IS ON BACK ORDER. I AM STILL PAYING ON MY VEHICLE AND THIS SHOULD BE APART OF A RECALL. THERE IS THOUSANDS OF US THAT IS WAITING ON THIS PART AND THIS IS SO UNFAIR. I AM TERRIFIED THAT SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY ENGINE IF THIS IS NOT FIXED SOON.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE READER SHOWED THAT THE VARIABLE TIMING SOLENOID NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER SEARCHING FOR A REPLACEMENT PART, I KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT THIS MAKE/MODEL CONSISTENTLY HAS THIS PROBLEM. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SEEMS TO HAVE A TUGGING FEEL WHEN DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WITH IN TOWN DRIVING AND FREEWAY DRIVING. HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED.

THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO WHITE-ALLEN CHEVROLET PARTS (442 N MAIN ST, DAYTON, OH 45405 (937) 222-3701) WHERE IT WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROCKER ARM CONTROL OIL VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER.

MY VEHICLE SHOWS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE DEALER MADE A CHECK AND FOUND PROBLEMS WITH THE ROCKET ARM VALVE PART NUMBER 12633613 (ENGINE VARIABLE TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE). THAT WAS IN DECEMBER 2019, THEY REQUEST THE PART TO GM, AND SO FAR THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE. I TRIED TO BUY IT THROUGH INTERNET AND FRIENDS IN OTHER STATES, AND NO AUTO PARTS HAVE THIS PART. THIS PART IS NECESSARY BECAUSE CONTROL THE TIMING OF THE ENGINE. MY CAR CAN GET RUIN IF I DO NOT CHANGE THAT PART. GM IS BEING IRRESPONSABLE TO HAVE THIS IMPORTANT PART OF THE CAR AVAILABLE.

ENGINE CODE P16D0 CAUSING A VALVE THAT CONTROLS AIR TO OIL INTAKE FOR THE MOTOR IS STUCK OPEN CAUSING IN ACCURATE OIL PRESSURE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION. TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE WOULD MOST LIKELY CAUSE EXTREME ENGINE FAILURE AND IMPROPER GAS MILEAGE. AFTER CHECKING THE CODE AND REPLACING THE "AFFECTED" PARTS, THE LIGHT IS STILL NOT CLEARED AS IT CREATES MORE ISSUES WITHIN THE MOTOR. THE DEALER IS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AND IS CHARGING AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF MONEY JUST TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH OUT ANY GUARANTEES. THERE ARE ALSO AN ABUNDANCE OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS AND IT ALL OCCURS ONCE THESE VEHICLES GET TO 100,000 MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD CORRECT SUCH AN ISSUE AS MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXPERIANCING THE ISSUE.
