2017 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON NOW ROUGHLY TWO MONTHS AND SOMETIMES I'M ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOPING THAT IT WON'T DEPLOY WHILE I'M DRIVING BUT IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK.I HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES I HAVE GOTTEN SOMEONE TO PUT A TESTER LIGHT ON IT TO MAKE SURE THE WIRES ARE NOT BROKENAND THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE FUSES ALL THE WIRES SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT FIRST CAME ON

EVAPORATOR CORE NEEDS REPLACING,BROKE WHILE DRIVING BREATHING IN DANGEROUS FUMES

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).

GM SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT [XXX] COVERS THE EVAPORATOR CORE ICING, LEAK. MY VEHICLE IS IN THE COVERED MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, RPO, ENDING TYPE, MILEAGE AND AGE TO QUALIFY FOR THIS COVERAGE. GM REFUSES COVERAGE SAYING THAT THE COVERAGE IS VIN SPECIFIC. THE SENIOR AGENT [XXX] AT [XXX], EXTENSION [XXX] SAYS THERE IS NO APPEAL PROCESS OR ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I NOTICED THE CAR'S (2017 CHEVROLET IMPALA) A/C WAS BLOWING HOT AIR WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I TOOK IT IN FOR AN A/C CHECK. PER THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE ADVISOR, THERE IS AN EVAPORATOR CORE LEAK INTO DASHBOARD. GM HAS RELEASED TWO SPECIAL OVERAGE BULLETINS (N182186880 & N182186881) IDENTIFYING THE ISSUE AND THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL (2016-2018 IMPALAS 3.6). ALSO, PER THIS BULLETIN, IT STATED IT IDENTIFIED THE VINS THIS IMPACTED, BUT I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CAR. IT DOES NOT STATE WHY SOME IMPALAS WERE NOT SELECTED. BUT DIFFERENT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, SHOW THERE ARE MORE IMPALAS AND THEIR OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. SEE HTTPS://WWW.IMPALAFORUMS.COM/THREADS/EVAPORATOR-REPLACEMENT.1841471/ . DUE TO VOLUME OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.

I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHEN I WENT AND CHECKED IT IT WAS A P236 CODE IN A P069E I ALSO WENT TO CHECK IT BECAUSE I NOTICED MY CAR WAS STARTING UP FUNNY

EVAPORATOR CORE FOR AIR CONDITIONING LEAKING. IT WAS CONFIRMED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP QUOTED AN ESTIMATED REPAIR PRICE. I DECIDED TO GO WITH ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP. THE THIRD PARTY REPAIR SHOP MADE ME AWARE OF A SPECIAL BULLETIN ON MY VEHICLE(N182186881). THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP STATES THEY DO NOT KNOW OF ANY SPECIAL BULLETIN OR RECALL. THERE THEY WILL NOT MAKE THE REPAIR AT CHEVY'S COST. *TR

THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY ON ME THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT, ONCE AN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND TWICE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. I HAD TO WAIT 5-10 MINUTES EACH TIME BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART.

INCREASING TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE. STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND NOISE GETTING LOUDER. PER BALE CHEVROLET, IT IS COMING FROM PURGE VALVE AND VALVE IS OPERATING AS NORMAL. I DON'T FEEL THIS IS NORMAL, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WASN'T DOING IT WHEN WE PURCHASED IT.

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
