MY VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I THINK THIS MIGHT RELATE TO RECALL 15757. THE CAR WAS TOTALLED.

I FIRST STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM IN OCTOBER 2015. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2015. I TRUSTED THIS COMPANY BECAUSE I SEEN THEY HAD GREAT REVIEWS. I ACTUALLY TRADER MY PREVIOUS CAR IN BECAUSE IT WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING AND ALSO SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. NOW MY CURRENT CAR IS HAVING PROBELMS STARTING. I HAD MY BATTERY, ALTERNATOR & STARTER CHECKED, AND IT WAS GOOD. THE COMPANY I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM PROVIDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET SERVICED IN THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER FOR AN ENGINE MOUNT REPLACEMENT. THEY REPLACED MY ENGINE MOUNTS AND FUEL PUMP. 2 DAYS AFTER THAT SERVICE I STARTED HAVING ISSUES STARTING THE CAR. WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN YOU USUALLY HEAR BEEPING NOISE AND I DIDN'T. THAN MY BATTERY LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, TRAC OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AND IN THE MESSAGE CENTER TRACKING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME UP. THIS WAS VERY INCONVENIENT DUE TO THE WEATHER AND HAVING TO GET 2 TODDLERS READY FOR SCHOOL IN THE AM. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. I DIDN'T TAKE IT BACK TO THE SAME PLACE BECAUSE EVERYTIME YOU TAKE IT FOR SERVICE MY DEDUCTIBLE IS $100. AFTER 2 WEEKS AFTER REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. SO I CALLED MY WARRANTY SERVICE CENTER THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK BUT IF IT NEEDS FIXING I HAVE TO PAY AGAIN. (ALSO I AM PAYING A CAR NOTE OF $115 A WEEK). I REFUSE TO KEEP PAYING MONEY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IN SO MANY WAYS. IT'S VERY FUSTRATING BECAUSE I TRADER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE INCREASED SPEED VIOLENTLY ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000. UPDATED 1/12/16 *CN

SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I GOT MY CAR, IT HAS STOPPED RUNNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR REPLACED, THE FUEL PUMP, THE BCM ALSO BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE I'M ON THE ROAD. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON THE LAST TIME IT DID IT AND I'VE DONE SEVERAL REPAIRS TO ATTEMPT TO FIX IT. IVE SPENT NEARLY 1000 IN THESE REPAIRS AND STILL NOTHING WORKS. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT I HAVE TO WORK. I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A GM ISSUE OR WHAT, BUT I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS SOUNDING SIMILAR TO MINE AND I WANT SOMETHING DONE. I WAS ON A VERY BUSY ROAD ON THESE DAYS AND IN COMPLETE MOTION (35 MPH AND ABOVE)

FOUND A GASOLINE LEAK AT THE QUICK CONNECT FITTING WHERE THE FUEL LINE MEETS THE FUEL RAIL ON TOP REAR OF ENGINE. I BELIEVE ITS THE FUEL RETURN LINE. THE QUICK CONNECT FITTING IS LEAKING FUEL DOWN ONTO ENGINE AND COULD DRIP ONTO HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSING A FIRE. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED THE LEAK. I SMELLED GAS FIRST THEN TRACED THE SMELL TO THE LEAKING QUICK CONNECT FITTING. THIS MAY BE RELATED TO THE RECENT GM RECALL OF VALVE COVERS LEAKING OIL CAUSING THE FIRES.

ISSUES WITH SYSTEM SECURITY SYSTEM AND INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES AS NOTED IN THE HUNDREDS OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTS. IS THIS JUST A WASTE OF TIME, PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION TO NHTSA? OR IS SOMEONE GOING TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND HAVE GM FIX THIS PROBLEM?

MY PASSLOCK SYSTEM HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR YEARS NOW (2007-2015) AND AT RANDOM INTERVALS, MY CAR WILL NOT START AND I HAVE TO WAIT 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL START. SOMETIMES THE "SECURITY" LIGHT WILL TURN ON WHILE I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND AFTER I HAVE PARKED IT, THE SECURITY LIGHT WILL FLASH AND I CAN'T START THE ENGINE UNTIL AFTER THE 15 MINUTE CYCLE HAS CONCLUDED. NOT ONLY HAS THIS ISSUE BEEN AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT I HAVE HAD OCCASIONS WHERE IT HAS PUT ME IN DANGER. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM FAILURE, NOR DO I HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPAIR OR REMOVE IT. I BELIEVE THAT PASSLOCK WAS A FAULTY SYSTEM FROM THE BEGINNING AND THE FACT THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED SHOCKS ME. I AM VERY AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WILL OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THAT I WILL LOSE POWER STEERING, BRAKING, AND OTHER VITAL OPERATIONAL FUNCTIONS. NOTICEABLY, THE PASSLOCK MALFUNCTION HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT, SO I NEEDED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I HAVE TALKED TO SERVICE EXPERTS AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THAT THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD, INCLUDING MANY GM VEHICLES, AND THAT EVENTUALLY MY CAR JUST WON'T START ANYMORE. THE QUOTED PRICES TO FIX THIS ISSUE (EITHER REPAIRING IT OR REMOVING IT ENTIRELY) HAVE BEEN RIDICULOUSLY HIGH AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I SHOULD BE FORCED INTO PAYING FOR A WELL-KNOWN GM/CHEVROLET PROBLEM.

MY VEHICLE WILL LOCK ME OUT FROM STARTING IT, AND WILL DISPLAY SECURITY. I BELIEVE THIS SAME ISSUE IS AFFECTING MY TRACTION CONTROL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE DEALT WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NONSENSE THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED.
