while waiting to make a left turn when traffic cleared I pressed the gas pedal and heard a loud grinding noise and the car would not move for 2 or 3 seconds and suddenly moved. Very dangerous. Car forums have many of the same incidents with great difficulty in resolving this problem and after several years no answers. This is life threatening issue.

Days after purchasing my 2013 chevy impala ltz 2 years ago from first car in bakersfield I have had nothing but problems with it. As I would drive it , it started to automaticly brake on its own and lose traction speed. Blows white smoke all the time it is running even when parked. I have major problem when driving the car shakes slot. I have spent approximately $5000 in repairs and no improvement what so ever!

Wiring harness is defective and friction causes electrical misfires that affect the entire vehicle, from deacceleration while driving to not being able to turn over the engine to start. I've been dealing with this issue for over 4 years and gm nor any safety commission will do anything in terms of a recall. This complaint is the only recourse that I have in order to notify public of the issue. This is extremely concerning as it can cause safety hazard on road.

With no warning the engine of my car had a catastrophic failure. Due to defective timing chains and gears. Known to being problematic and breaking around 85,000 miles. Many on line complaints with this engine, but gm will not acknowledge it and do a safety recall. It is a safety issue because when my engine failed there was no warning light to alert us to a problem. The car was running fine and it made a clanging noise along with a thick cloud of blue smoke.. We were lucky to get the car off the side of road before getting rear ended. Timing chains are not a regular maintenance item. They are suppose to last the life of motor. If they are failing at 85,000 miles or less why isn't a scheduled maintenance listed for it. Our car was regularly maintained at 4,000 miles with synthetic oil. I did not use a chevy maintenance mechanic I used a mechanic who has close to 50 years experience. Ji called gm up to explain what happen they said there was no recall and I can't go by on line forums. They wanted me to tow the car to a chevy garage for a diagnostic test. I asked them if they can have a mechanic come to where my car is, because I couldn't afford another tow and it was pretty obvious the engine failed. They refused. I was not expecting to replace a motor at 85,000 miles when most impalas go 200,000 miles. After on line research there was many complaints about this engine with timing chains and also a class action suit with different models, but same engine. I have no money to replace an engine and I shouldn't have to.

My reduce engine power light, service stabilitrak light and ABS light is on also check engine light.car will not go ove 30 to 40 MPH. The car will reduce speed on the highway. And streets. I live in illinois. I've done tried everything. The car was in the shop for over a month cost me $1500 to fix every issues the mechanic thought was wrong and the car still have the same issues. I have even just recently brought a new gas cap because that light kept saying tighten. This can be really stressful. I dont think I will ever buy another chevy car again. As I research my issue just by typing in the problems without giving the make and model of car. I see all these problems are only with chevy vechiles. What do I do?
