2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

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

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN- SIDE DETECTION MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH. LEFT SIDE DETECTION INDICATOR STAYS ON. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. SERVICE TECHNICIAN INFORMS ME THE DETECTION MODULE IS CORRODED, LIKELY FROM MOISTURE. THE STATEMENT READS TWO "MISCELLANEOUS BODY ELECTRICAL- REPAIR" RECOMMENDATIONS TOTALLING $1104.91. I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS. I ASK IF WE CAN DISABLE OR TURN OFF THE SENSOR AND I AM TOLD NO. I ASK IF NEGLECTING TO REPLACE THE CORRODED MODULE CAN CAUSE FURTHER DISRUPTIONS WITH THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING SAFETY SYSTEMS, AND I AM TOLD YES, IT CAN. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THE MODULE SHOULD NEVER BE MADE IN A WAY WHERE IT IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN ITS PLACEMENT IN THE REAR BUMPER. THIS IS NEGLIGENT DESIGN AND COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR SAFETY, THE USER, OR THE PRODUCT. I HOPE I HAVENT LEFT ANYTHING IMPORTANT OUT. I AM TRYING TO BE FACTUAL AND KEEP MY FRUSTRATION ASIDE.

SIDE DETECTION LIGHTS DON'T WORK AND FOLLOWED ALL THE IDEAS TO MAKE THEM WORK OTHER THAN REPLACING THEM.WAS GOING DOWN THE ROUND AND WAS GOING TO MAKE A TURN AND THE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING. THE NEXT TIME THEY WORK ,NOW THERE OUT COMPLETELY.

STABILITRAK SERVICE NOTIFICATION ON DASH APPEARED ALONG WITH LOST POWER STEERING, ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON.

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.

I HAVE A TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON, ALSO THE ABS LIGHT IS ON, AND I GET A STABILITRACK WARNING.

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).

THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON A INTERSTATE RAMP, I PULLED TO THE SIDE AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WORKED AGAIN. IT FAILED TWO MORE TIMES ON THE DRIVE HOME AND TWICE WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR HAD 11035 MILES AND WAS 40 MONTHS OLD. I HAD TO PAY $3051 TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING RACK REPLACED.
