TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, A TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE NO ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE.

THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER FAILED TO OPERATE AND A BURNING SMELL WAS DETECTED BY PASSENGERS. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR THAT ROUTES THE POWER TO THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER HAS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND OVERHEATS AND BURNS DUE TO IMPROPERLY SIZED CONNECTOR PINS IN WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR LOCATED NEAR THE PASSENGER KICK PANEL. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO DOCUMENTED IN A NUMBER OF SITES ON THE INTERNET INCLUDING YOUTUBE WHERE A VIDEO OF THE EXACT FAILURE WAS FOUND TO BE THE IDENTICAL FAILURE AS IN OUR IMPALA. THIS IS THE WEBSITE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=JFWBDZJQARU I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE FAILED/BURNED CONNECTOR IN MY CAR BUT I DON'T SEE WHERE I CAN SUBMIT THEM. JUDGING BY THE DESIGN PROBLEM, THIS SAME PROBLEM WOULD BE FOUND IN EVERY IMPALA USING THIS CONNECTOR SINCE THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS ARE NOT SIZED PROPERLY TO CARRY THE HIGH CURRENT TO THE DEFOGGER. THIS IS A DEFINITE FIRE HAZARD AND THE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE FAILURE - I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT/PROBLEM. *TR

ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2014, I TOOK MY 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA LS TO HAILEY'S CHEVROLET FOR THE "ELECTRICAL IGNITION / KEY RECALL."

I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE; UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIRS LISTED ABOVE WERE PERFORMED.

I WAS SENT A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. I THINK IT IS TERRIBLE THAT YOU HAVE NOT FOUND A WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2003 AND YOU KEPT ON MANUFACTURING THIS PRODUCT. PUBLIC SAFETY IS OF NO CONCERN TO YOU UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED AND YOU ARE FORCED TO RESPOND AND EVEN THEN YOU DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

GM HAS ISSUED A LETTER TO THOSE EFFECTED IN GM RECALL 14299 SAYING THAT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE. CALL YOUR DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ASAP. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED AND WOULD BE BETWEEN 30-60 DAYS AT WHICH POINT AN APPOINTMENT COULD/WOULD BE MADE. WHY IS IT TO TAKE SO LONG TO GET THE PART DELIVERED TO A DEALERSHIP IF THE PARTS ARE "AVAILABLE"? CONSIDER THAT IN THE RECENT TOYOTA AIRBAG RECALL, WE HEAR ON THE NEWS THIS PAST WEEK THAT PARTS CAN BE AVAILABLE IN 3 DAYS. WHY IS THERE SUCH A LARGE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE 2 MANUFACTURES? WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I ADVISED THEM THAT I WAS LEAVING THE AREA IN 30-45 DAYS AND IF THE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COMPLETED BY THE TIME I LEAVE, I WOULD NOT BE BACK UNTIL APRIL. THAT'S ANOTHER 6 MONTHS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS DEFECT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A 30 DAY DELAY TO GET PARTS TO THE DEALER, PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY SAID FOR THIS VEHICLE IT WAS ONLY AN IGNITION KEY ADJUSTMENT THAT WAS NEEDED, NOT A SWITCH REPLACEMENT. IS THIS TRUE (I HAVE A 2007 IMPALA)? *TR
