2012 Chevrolet Impala complaints

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE TO A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION, WHILE THERE THEY DISCOVERED OIL LEAKING FROM OIL PAN GASKET, THEY FOUND PROBLEMS WITH THE EMISSION. I TOOK IT HOME AND WHEN I STARTED IT IT WAS ACCELERATED, I TOOK IT BACK AND DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS NOT PART OF THE WORK THEY DID. THEY CHARGED ME 428.00 TO REPAIR. THE NEXT DAY I DROVE THE CAR THE IDLE WAS AT 3 WHEN I STARTED IT, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY CLAIM THEY RESET THE IDLE, BUT THE IDLE REMAINS AT 1.5 WHEN IM DRIVING, AND FEELS ACCELERATED. THIS ALL BEGAN WHEN THEY REPAIRED A PROBLEM UNDER GUARANTEE. CAR HAS 103,000.00 MILES.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2012. I REPORTED THE ISSUE IN JANUARY 2015. WHEN I START MY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY FROM A COLD START, I PROCEED TO REVERSE OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND AS I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATES. AS I STOP THE VEHICLE, I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TOWARD THE LEFT AS I PROCEED TO MOVE. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON A SECOND TIME BUT THE ABS LOCKS THE LEFT WHEEL (NO ABS LIGHT). I HEAR A METAL GRINDING FOR LESS THAN 3 SECONDS AND THEN IT RELEASES. IT HAPPENS IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS BUT THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY CLUELESS ON HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE CHEVY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WON'T ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE IT AFFECTS MILLIONS OF IMPALAS AND EVEN OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL. (COST = MONEY/ LOSS OF PROFIT) I DID RESEARCH AND NOTICED THERE IS A BULLETIN RELEASED ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING IF CHEVY IS WAITING ON SOMEONE TO GET KILLED IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.

ACCELERATOR RESPONSE TIME TAKES TOO LONG TO RE-ACCELERATE . AFTER LETTING OFF GAS THEN RE-APPLYING PEDAL WHILE DRIVING, RESPONSE TIME SHOULD BE 800 MILI SECONDS FOR AN ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR BUT , IT IS WAY LONGER AND MAKES CAR BACKFIRE AT TIMES IF I HOLD PEDAL AFTER THE LAG IN RESPONSE . THIS CAUSES CAR TO LUNGE AND COULD CAUSE ME TO GET REAR ENDED OR DAMAGE ENGINE. SECOND, RUBBING GRINDING NOISE (NOT LOUD) FROM RIGHT FRONT AND MORE NOTICEABLE WHILE TRAVELING AT 35-40 MPH AROUND A LEFT BEND IN ROAD OR BY MOVING STEERING WHEEL TO LEFT ABOUT AN INCH WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN ROAD. DEALER CLAIMED NO PROBLEM FOUND ON EITHER ISSUE , ALTHOUGH THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE REPLACED A STRUT BEARING ON RIGHT FRONT. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A PREVIOUS ISSUE JUDGING BY THE WORN TIRE BEFORE I PURCHASED CAR. I FIGURED IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM THAT MAY HAVE BEEN FIXED BECAUSE CAR DIDN'T PULL TO ONE SIDE AND DROVE STRAIGHT , BUT APPARENTLY THERE IS STILL AN ISSUE AND NOISE IS SLOWLY GETTING MORE NOTICEABLE UNLESS I'M JUST TUNED INTO IT. *TR
