It was a recall issued in 2014 for stabilitrak for bad grounds on my chevy impala and I went to chevy about it and paid for the diagnostics to check and they told me it was the transmission that I needed. Also, the paper doesn't tell me I needed a transmission fixed, so I took it to 3 different transmission shops and they said it was the ground that was bad. But I was not paying for it and it was a recall issued in 2014 that is happening and is happening to several others as well. I called the gm and asked if its anything they can do about it since it was unde recall they are saying no. And the I have to go pay for diagnostics again so they can see what it is because it may not be same and I did before and chevy said it was the transmission and the other shops said the transmission is in great shape it was the grounds thats bad and that if the issue was under a recall it should be done again. I take this as safety issue and it puts me and my family in danger and it is my only transportation . So I have my son picking me for work.
Car lost power and engine went out. Stability track in on.
I was driving to my sister's house on sept. 27 2020. When my car started making a loud noise from the engine and I noticed the engine light came on. I pulled over called my husband, when he got there he opened the hood and noticed the catalytic converter broke completely off my engine. We managed to get to a friends down the road for the night until we able to get it towed to the dealer's the next day. When I called the and told them what happened they told it was my fault that I must of hit something to make fall off. I do not have any other underneath my car, I tried to tell them this was a safety issue and that I could have possibly burned to death in my own car if I hadn't of pulled over upon hearing...thankfully I was in an area where I could pull over. I did call gm also they to said it was my fault and or weather conditions. I told them it was not my fault I did not hit anything and weather have nothing to do with it, bottom line is that part should have never fallen off to begin with. Because it did fall off I felt it should have been covered under warranty on your website I noticed you already have a primarily investigation going on this matter complaint # pip5419b
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that when his brother pulled into the driveway, the vehicle shutoff without warning. The vehicle was shifted into park and restarted. Jerry's cadillac (3118 fort worth hwy, hudson oaks, tx 76087 (817) 382-9412) was called and a pending appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 113,000.
Vehicle is idling hard on start ups and shutting off when brake. Restarts but will shut off again when I brake.
Took my vehicle in for its regular oil change. A few days later, the car started driving funny. I notice that when I went to accelerate that the vehicle started shaking. After it happened a few more times within that same week, my check engine light came on. I decided to take it back to the chevy dealership where I had the oil change, not before calling the service dept. Several time in the week to voice my concerns. I was told to bring the vehicle in and have them check my oil level to make sure all was well. I told them what I was experiencing and that the check engine light was on and asked could they re-check my oil level. The service advisor checked and said that the oil was fine. She then suggested that I pay $112.48 dollars for a diagnostic test, because that would be the only way to determine why the check engine light was on. I did! Only for them to tell me that it was p2645 intake rocker arm control circuit solenoid. Then she game me a quote of $407.35 to fix the problem. I was then informed that I had to pay for the part upfront before anything could be done and on top of that, this part was on back-order and that it would take weeks to fill the order. I need to use my vehicle to get around and this was not safe to drive! This was over 2 months ago. I then turned to the internet to do my research only to find out that is a faulty part from the gm manufacture. And gm was not willing to replace the part even after they place this part in my vehicle knowingly that this was a defected part and that down the road it would be faulty, not only in my 2014 but the 2015 chevy impala's and the chevy malibu. This is not right and gm need to correct the problem. I am paying for a car for the last 2 months that I cant even drive! Shameful gm!
My car was taken to be inspected by courtesy chevrolet. They clearly documented that I did have a problem with the catalytic converter. There has been past safety recalls on the catalytic converter cracking. According the document that I was given it clearly states that it was a welding failure. The part that is currently on the car is the original part that was put on the part when it was being made. I have been trying to get the issue fixed however everyone says that its a factory problem and should let them fix this. My car is starting to wear out the longer I wait and need for the problem to be corrected by gm.
Engine variable timing solenoid failure. Currently no parts available due to extremely high failure rate and not currently creating new parts. Leaving the car lacking acceleration and at risk for possible internal damage. Failure at speed over 4000 RPM.
I was driving my car and it loss power. The check engine light came on. I took it to nelson hall chevrolet in meridian, ms. They told me that I needed an exhaust solenoid part number 12633613. It was sitting there at the chevy dealer for a month and a half. They told me to come get it because they didn't have the part to fix it and they didn't know when the part was going to be available. I have been in contact with gmc since december of 2019. Gmc doesn't know when the part will be available. I can't drive my car!! When I spoke with gmc last, they told me they would be giving me a call back in 24-48 hours. It has been 3 months and gmc will not return my calls. My car is still broken as of today march 18, 2020. This is unacceptable!
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the engine misfired and the vehicle stalled with an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to david chevrolet buick located at (10225 niagara falls blvd, niagara falls, ny 14304), to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the rocker arm and control valve solenoid needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts being on back order. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 91,000.
Around 100,000 miles (about 5 years old) I started receiving a side detection system warning and ignored it for a couple of months because I didn't feel like I was dependent on the blind spot warnings. One morning I started my vehicle and I got an error message for about every sensor on the car. The car started it but the engine was running rough. Luckily, I was able to make it to a mechanic. They found out that the electrical system was shorting out due to the bad side detection system sensor. I had to pay almost $750 to replace the bad sensor. The worst part is now about 18,000 miles later, I'm getting the same side detection system error. It must be a serious design flaw if the replacement part is lasting less than 20,000 miles and less than year. Now, I have to balance wasting another $750 versus my electrical system shorting out due to the failing sensor - hopefully, this shorting out doesn't occur during heavy traffic and cause an issue. A few simple internet searches shows that many car owners are having this issue, I can't believe the government doesn't force chevy to issue a recall.
My 2014 chevy impala misfires while driving and loses and regains power while driving. I took it to a mechanic and it is the rocker arm control valve solenoids. I did some research it this is a known issue for 2014/2015 impalas and malibu's. This is very unsafe and can cause accidents. Also, this part has been on backorder for several months so owners are having to drive with check engine light on. This should be a recall.
2014 chevy impala needs a rocker arm oil control valve part# 12633613. Gm says there is no eta on the part but dealer says part is not being produced. Check engine light stays on, the car stutters during motion also will shake suddenly. Also, has a lack of acceleration.
I recently purchased this car used at a dealership. Before taking possession of the vehicle, the dealership tried to fix all problems associated with the check engine light being on. I was informed the vehicle will not pass inspection and the check engine light was still on due to a rocker arm oil control valve needing to be replaced. The car is still at the dealership waiting for a part that's on backorder and the part needed is gm #12633613 rocker arm oil control valve. After doing some research myself, I discovered this part fails commonly on my vehicle make, model, and year as well as 2014-2015 chevy malibus produced with the same engine. Gm nor any aftermarket companies have this part in stock. I've contacted gm and was only told they don't know when they will have this part available. However, a few others with the same issue have been told by gm that this part is discontinued. There are people waiting months for this to be fixed and gm seems not to wanting to provide a solution. I would get another vehicle but then I would have to spend hundreds of dollars for the loaner car I'm currently driving from the dealership. This is gm's problem and they should be held responsible.
Faulty rocker arm oil control valve, code p2646. Gm refuses to recall though it's known issue. Gm does not have part nor are they producing it, but there's numerous complaints online and this is a major safety issue. How am I supposed to fix it and make my car safe if they won't make the part? Either they recall it or they pay for fix at dealership. I've had two separate mechanics verify this issue and can provide documentation if asked. If I need to hire lawyer for class-action suit I can. There is already a petition on change.org, https://www.change.org/p/general-motors-make-gm-issue-a-recall-for-faulty-rocker-arm-oil-control-valve-in-2014-and-2015-chevy-impala-s-and-malibu-s, with over 500 signatures.
My wife was dropping our kids off at school and own her way back home the car started smoking. She was able to pull into a walmart. I got the car towed to a elite auto repair shop in cypress, tx. I was told that my car needed a engine variable valve timing oil control valve but they had to order the part. This happened in november 2019 and it's now february 2020 and the part still hasn't come in. While looking for the part myself I found that many people are dealing with the same issue. Because this was my only means of transportation I'm now forced to rent cars until I can get my car fixed and I have absolutely no idea when I'm going to get my car back.
Oil control solenoid valve failure causing loss of power, instability at all speeds, and surging of engine. Gm does not have any parts to repair this item and does not have a eta on when they will get them, there are no aftermarket options availible either due to the rate of failure. Gm part# 12633613
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that at 81,000 miles, the catalytic converter fractured and was replaced at patriot chevrolet buick gmc dealer, (4401 fort campbell blvd, hopkinsville, ky 42240, (270) 886-1207) however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while driving there was a loud noised coming from the motor and exhaust fumes entered into the cabin of the vehicle. The contact stated that her husband noticed the catalytic converter was fractured. The same dealer was contacted and the vehicle was taken to the same dealer. The contact was informed that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was then referred to a gmc dealer for a diagnostic test. A case was filed by the manufacturer. The vehicle was taken the an independent mechanic and the vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 121,000.
The check engine light in the vehicle came on and the vehicle began to lose power and then regain power while accelerating and also while still in motion even while not currently accelerating. The problem was diagnosed by the chevy dealership and it was determined that a rocker arm needed to be replaced. The part (#12633613) is not available and there is no estimated time per gm when it will be available again. My vehicle has not been safe to drive and sitting at the dealership since october 15th 2019, it is currently january 8th 2020. This part is an issue for all 2014 and 2015 impala and malibu vehicles with the engine type in the 2014 impala ls. The dealership has referred to the gm part as being defective yet gm has not issued a recall. Gm refuses to provide any information regarding the part and will not even confirm if it will ever be produced again. This issue is effecting thousands of vehicles and gm's failure to address this issue is leaving the owners of the affected vehicles driving unsafe vehicles. Gm needs to issue a recall or manufacture more of the part if it is simply a production issue (which they will not confirm or deny).
I was driving in highway traffic when the car's engine power shut off, couldn't restart for several attempts. Called 911 as a disabled vehicle in center of highway. Stabilitytrak and reduced engine power warning came on as well as check engine light. Brought to dealer, was told manifold bolts were loose and battery needed replacement. Paid dealer $663. The very next morning same thing happened again 3 times before I got to the dealer. After researching I see this is a common problem that gm is not addressing. This is a dangerous situation when engine shuts down on the middle of 4 lane highway! Is someone going to have to be killed before gm recalls throttle body/ accelerator problem?
