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 purchased this vehicle for suburban kia in troy. On the third day of driving it, I noticed gasoline smells coming into the car. I took the vehicle back on 1/18/16 and they were not able to find out the cause of the gas smell coming into the car. I will be taking it back on 1/21/16 when they can keep it all day. The smells come when the care is in motion. Enough fumes to take my breath away. I have to drive with the windows open.

Had to recently replace fuel ejection and other part for fuel leaking and fumes overcoming in car. Now the speedometer, fuel and tack gauge stopped working. Gm has not recalled this on the impala and they are aware this is a problem but will not take responsibility. These issues have been a serious safety hazard for my daughter and cannot drive the car. Every chevy dealership and parts stores think there is a recall until they look it up. Thats how much they are aware of the issues. Once again ill have to pay approx. 300.00 just for the part. Dorman oe solutions instrument cluster. How can we stop gm from getting away with this! We need help!

Intermittent no crank, no start. Problem is known problem with ignition switch, tumbler, and defective "passlock system". Dealers charge excessive proces for repairs that may or may not actually fix the problem. It seems to be a bad design issue, and is related to the defective ignition recalls. There is a fairly extensive complaint list, and the mfr certainly has data reflecting that the problem covers multi model and years of gm cars and trucks.
