Filed Apr 30, 2020 · Engine · 190,000 miles · OH

When I go to turn on my car it does not turn on. It takes a couple tries to get the car started. On top of that problem the car is now jolting when I accelerate. I've had the car for only a year and have taken excellent care of it and beforehand it was at a dealership. I am very concerned since I have young children going in my car and it's my transportation to make my income.

Internal security system fails without notice, car wont start. Security light stays on or flashes. Car still wont start. It can be hours or even days before this problem resets and car starts and works. But then will soon fail as soon as the vehicle is shut off. Has coasted me several jobs, loss work hours, and extra money I spent on starter, but came to find out it was the security feature chevy put in, I'm not the only one who has been having this problem.

I am complaining about the just purchased whic was vavoline when placed in vehicle engine thermal viscosity breakdown happened and engine block seized. Restarted after oil change same oil engine block seized. With what I'm reading and watching the third or fourth vehicle towed from the neighborhood maybe it's the motor oil. I understand that high heat breaks down rapidly with soy based lubricants. I understand you might not be able to admit this or are unaware but could you please keep on file.

I've replaced the battery along with new tires hoping that all the jerking would stop however they didn't! The car seems to have bad timing or not wanting to shift in right hears

The transmission started to develop a shudder at 140000 miles. I have taken it in multiple times to get looked at. The las resort would be to get a new transmission. This issue causes the car to not take off right away or shake pretty bad making it seem or feel that it will stop, shut down, or jam up even while driving down the road. I have read that this is a common problem with this vehicle model. It happens at stop lights, while running, and while turning. Please investigate this matter before many people waste thousands of dollars trying to investigate this issue. Thank you

175555 miles fuel smell and fuel loss when car is running. Rough start, some missing. Fuel filter failed at filter inlet spraying gas onto underbody of car so didn't see the fuel spill. Replaced filter and o rings.squealing belt sound at start up. Serpentine belt tensioner broke, replaced tensioner and belt. No check engine warnings, no electronic gauges I have the basic impala model. Watched the fuel gauge drop by lines while driving and smelled gas when shut off car. Fire hazard, and engine failure if the belt broke completely..another 300$ spent
