As with your recall of braking system to Camaro, Corvette and Cadillac the same exact thing happened to my 2017 Impala. My power steering system failed due to the modular. All said and done was charged $1000 +. My warranty had just ran out. Not the mileage I only had 29,000 miles on the car but it was approximately 4 months after the 3 year warranty. That is totally unacceptable. I could have been killed. How many other complaints have you gotten for faulty power steering systems. Due to this all my warnings on the entire car lit up and a number of check engine and other warning lights came on the dash. Nothing worked and could hardly turn the steering wheel. I would like to be reimbursed the money and aggravation I was put through. I do not have the paperwork to download to you but it can be obtained at Wallace Chevrolet in Port St Lucie, Florida

I had an issue with the check engine light, car stalling, and changing gears slow. The chevy dealership stated that the purge valve was bad and replaced it on 7/3/20. My mom had the same issue with her chevy trax and a different dealership in a different city said that her purge valve was stuck open and replaced it. Also my airbag light is on now. I saw that [xxx] has recalls on certain vehicles but my chevy isn't listed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I purchased a 2017 chevrolet impala vehicle in march of 2019 and a few month's after purchasing the vehicle I immediately started noticing that the vehicle wold stall and or hesitate to start every time I would put gas in it. Immediately after that the check engine light came on and remained on until this day. I currently work at carmax and after speaking with some mechanic's, as well as as reading some of the other complaint's I believe I am experiencing the same problem as 2 other buyer's that have previously filed a complaint regarding this vehicle.the spark plug tubes are leaking and the leaks are caused by porous spots in the head created during manufacturing. The spark plug tubes are permanently sealed into the head and are not replaceable. This is a manufacturing problem that needs to be taken care of immediately. We just purchased this vehicle and I am being told that this repair is going to cost $3,000-$4,000 to fix, which I am not responsible for. I should be able to have this fixed by the manufacturer, I should'nt have to pay for this repair considering the vehicle was literally purchased a year ago as of 3 weeks ago. And the problem happened 3 months into me having the vehicle

Recently purchased this vehicle 3 months ago took it in for a routine oil change after driving it for several miles and filling the gas tank loud exhaust sound with an onstar diagnostic p0151 code appeared. Thinking there was water in the line I purchased heat to remove the moisture with no results. I proceeded to open the hood of the car for inspection and found the oxygen sensors lying in the cooling fans and the catalytic converter disconnected from the engine block. The plate was still connected with new nuts and bolts but the part looked rusted which seem odd for a car this new as a result of the heat escaping the engine block via the opening the cooling fans melted. I check for recalls on this model and there were none showing via several sources including the manufacturer's web site. The issue could have caused severe damage to the engine and electrical systems well due to the high temperatures from the engine block under the hood of the vehicle. The vehicle will operate and drive in this condition showing a check engine light on the instrument panel. What seemed odd was the bolts were shiny and the plate was discolored as seen in attached photos. The welds were also a concern as well.

We purchased our car in september of 2018, and almost immediately we started noticing the car would hesitate to start every time after we would put gas, then the check engine light suddenly turned on.. So then in december we took it to the chevy dealership and they fixed the purge valve, and also checked why the check engine light was on. They ran some tests and said that cylinder 3 was misfiring, so they ran more tests to see what exactly the problem was. The problem is that the spark plug tubes are leaking and the leaks are caused by porous spots in the head created during manufacturing. The spark plug tubes are permanently sealed into the head and are not replacable. This is a manufacturing problem that needs to be taken care of immediately, we just purchased our car and their telling us that this problem is going to cost $3,000 to 4,000 to fix which we are not responsible for. Please if someone could get back with me as soon as possible, something needs to be done we should be able to take it back to the dealership and get a different car since ours had a manufacturing problem which we are not liable for. Thank you .
