When I am driving my vehicle the gear shift the stick on it's own.I hear a pop sound when it happens.this happens when I am in motion and driving the car..I have already taken my car in for a recall last year to replace a ignition switch.it has been happening for a few weeks and I thought it was normal,until I was in traffic and it moved on it's own. Also last year I had to have the fuel injector replaced on my car.it had been leaking gas for a while.the dealership told me I would have to pay to have it fixed.there weren't any recalls during the time.
2005 impala bought from elderly mother 50,000 mies fuel leak before fuel injector pipe onto motor.
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!
Experienced fuel smell in the vehicle when operating the blower. Noted fuel regulator valve leaks fuel. Stop engine allow to evaporate and when the engine is warm stopped leaking. Vehicle now has 161000 miles and stopped leaking. Leaks when the temperature gets cool or cold outdoors. Dealer cannot find the cause of the leak. This is a fire hazard.
2005 chevy impala which leaks gas every mourning when the car has set overnight. The recall is the universal pressure regulators (upr) were produced without an o'ring and retainer, so this cause the gas to leak.
Dt*: the contact stated the fuel pressure regulator was leaking gas under normal road conditions. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was not contacted.
