ON JANUARY 15TH. AT 08:26AM WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ON JANUARY 19TH. THE CAR WAS DROPPED FOR SERVICE AT WESTGATE CHEVROLET IN EDMONTON, AB. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF TESTING AND MULTIPLE PART CHANGES THE DEALER ESTABLISHED THAT MY CAR HAS A FAULTY "INTAKE OIL CONTROL VALVE". THIS IS A WELL KNOWN FAILURE OF THE GM ECOTEC 2.5 LKW ENGINE. GM HAS BEEN TRYING TO REDESIGN THE PART SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2019. AS OF TODAY MAY 20TH, 2020 THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS STILL NOT BEEN MADE AVAILABLE AND MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR 4 MONTHS NOW. MULTIPLE OWNERS OF 2014 AND 15 MALIBU'S AND IMPALA'S ARE SUFFERING THE SAME FAITH. LATELY GM CORPORATE HAS NOT EVEN RETURNED E-MAILS FROM MY DEALER AS TO WHEN THE NEW PART WILL ME MADE AVAILABLE. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR ON PART OF GM. *TR

I OWN A 2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU LTZ AND I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE 'SERVICE STABILITRACK' LIGHT WILL COME ON, THEN IT WILL SAY 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER'. I WILL HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN CAR OFF, AND LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE OR TWO, THEN CRANK BACK UP AND THOSE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF, BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY 5-10 MILES, DEPENDING ON THE DISTANCE OF MY DESTINATION, WHICH POSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME, ESPECIALLY IF I'M TRAVELING AT NIGHT. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

RUNS RUFF AND DIES AT STOPS (RED LIGHTS) IT'S HAPPENED 6 TIMES. *TR

MAIN CONTROL MODULE FOR ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND BEING REPLACED. VEHICLE ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 38,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I WENT THRU A DRIVE THRU CARWASH , NOW MY BACK UP CAMERA ONLY SHOWS GUIDELINES , NO IMAGE , THE BACK UP CAMERA IS NOT WORKIMG PROPERLY. *TR

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. I TOOK IT TODAY MAY 7, 2020 TO THE PINE BELT CHEVROLET IN LAKEWOOD, NJ. I EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT MY CAR WOULD SHAKE AND STALL WHILE DRIVING. I EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WITH MY FOUR-YEAR-OLD SON IN THE BACKSEAT. I WANTED TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THAT WAS THE REASON WHY I BROUGHT IT THERE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS CAUSED DUE TO A ROCKER CONTROL ARM VALVE.THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART, WHICH THEY DID, BUT THAT IT WOULD TAKE A VERY LONG TIME TO GET IT IN. THEY DID NOT OFFER ME A LOANER CAR AS THEY DID NOT KEEP MY CAR TO WORK ON. THEY SENT ME BACK ON THE ROAD WITH A SHAKING CAR THAT STALLS WHILE DRIVING. I DID MY RESEARCH AND HAVE SEEN THAT THERE WAS A PETITION OF OVER 1500 SIGNATURES WITH OWNERS OF 2014 CHEVY IMPALA'S AND 2015 CHEVY MALIBU'S WHO ALL COMPLAINS OF THE SAME THING AND INCLUDED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING 4 OR MORE MONTHS FOR THIS PART. I AM COMPLAINING FOR THE FACT THAT THIS IS UNSAFE, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND WE ARE ALL PAYING FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE ATTACHED THE LINK TO THE PETITION THAT SHOWS THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS FAULTY PART. ALSO, I AM ATTACHING MY INVOICE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TOWARDS THE BEGINNING OF DEC 2019. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHO STATED IT WAS DUE TO THE ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL VALVE AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART. I WAITED UNTIL FEB 2020 WITH NO UPDATE ON WHEN THE PART WOULD ARRIVE SO I TOOK MY MALIBU TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO STATED IT NEED THE SAME PART AND THAT IT SHOULD BE THERE WITHIN A WEEK. AS OF MAY 2020 MY CAR IS STILL AT THAT DEALERSHIP WITHOUT AN ESTIMATED DATE IN WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. I CALLED GM AND THE ONLY THING THEY CAN DO IS OFFER $2500 TOWARDS A NEW CAR.

I WENT TO LEAVE MY OFFICE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON 4/29/10 AND MY SEAT BELT WOULDN'T RELEASE. I TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS TO GET IT TO RELEASE, NO LUCK. I HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT, NOR HAS MY CAR EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. MY MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO GET THE SEAT BELT TO UNLOCK. A NEW SEAT BELT WAS REQUIRED. THE PART CAN ONLY BE BOUGHT AT A DEALERSHIP. I CALLED 4 DEALERSHIPS, NONE HAD IT IN STOCK. I COULD ORDER AND THEY WOULD HAVE IT IN 1-2 DAYS. I FINALLY FOUND A DEALERSHIP THAT HAD THE PART, IT WAS 40 MILES AWAY. THE PART COST OVER 200.00 DOLLARS, SOME QUOTED ALMOST 300.00 AND THAT'S JUST FOR THE PART, NO LABOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I OWN A 2015 MALIBU LT 2.5L, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PASS THE STATE REQUIRED INSPECTION DUE TO A FAULTY OIL CONTROL SOLENOID. (GM PART #12633613 OR GM PART # 19419980) I HAVE INCURRED OVER $1000 IN DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND TAKEN THE CAR TO THREE (3) DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND TWO (2) GM CERTIFIED PARTS DEALERS TRYING TO GET THIS PART REPLACED. GM IS NO LONGER MANUFACTURING AND REFERRING CUSTOMERS TO AFTERMARKET PARTS.(AFTERMARKET PART RECOMMENDED IS THE DORMAN 916-806) IN DOING RESEARCH TRYING TO FIND THIS PART IT SEEMS THIS SAME PART HAS MALFUNCTIONED ON EVERY 2014-2015 YEAR MODEL MALIBU AND IMPALA AND GM IS STILL NOT ISSUING A RECALL. I HAVE FILED CUSTOMER SERVICE INQUIRIES/COMPLAINTS WITH MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND GM DIRECTLY. THIS IS AN EGREGIOUS EXAMPLE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THEY ARE OFFERING NO ALTERNATIVE OTHER THAN BUYING A NEW CAR. THE CAR IS SHOWING A CODE ERROR P2646 (ROCKER ARM MALFUNCTION IN BANK 1 STUCK IN OFF POSITION). I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM SINCE OCTOBER 2019, AND FILED THE OFFICIAL COMPLAINT WITH GM APRIL,2020. CASE # WITH GM 9-592-2813084

THE CAR REDUCED SPEED WHILE MY WIFE AND GRANDS WHERE IN TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT REDUCED TO 25 MPH ON HIGHWAY

SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED ON INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE DRIVING. *TR

IN AUGUST 2019, MY 2015 CHEVY MALIBU STARTED HAVING WITH THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING (VVT) SOLENOID -PART # 12633613 (ABT. 80K MILES). WHEN ACCELERATING INTO PASSING GEAR, THE ENGINE WOULD STEP OUT OF GEAR AND THE RPM'S WOULD REV VERY HIGH WHILE THE CAR SLOWED. I WOULD HAVE TO LET OFF PEDAL UNTIL RPM'S LOWERED, THEN ACCELERATE SLOWLY. MY LOCAL GARAGE DIAGNOSED THE BAD PART AND BEGAN SEARCHING FOR A REPLACEMENT. THEY DISCOVERED THAT (1)-GM IS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT MAKES THE PART, (2)-THAT GM DOESN'T HAVE ANY MORE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND (3)-GM IS NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY MORE. THEY DISCOVERED THAT MANY GM DEALERSHIPS HAVE HUNDREDS ON BACK ORDER ALSO. IN DECEMBER I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE; CASE # 9-5698216592 AND CONVERSED WITH VAHMARTA PH.#(866)-790-5600 AND FIELD REP; LOGAN EXT:5916533. THEIR FINAL ANSWER: (1) GM IS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT MAKES THE PART, (2) GM DOESN'T HAVE ANY MORE PARTS AND (3) GM ISN'T GOING TO MAKE ANY MORE PARTS. THEIR FINAL SOLUTIN: THEY OFFERED ME A $2,500 VOUCHER TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE. GM IS QUITE AWARE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM BUT IS NOT OFFERING A PART TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THOSE AROUND ME ON THE ROAD. THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE PROPERLY. WHAT IS A PROPER SOLUTION? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME AND WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE PURCHASED NEW, AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT. THE TEST SHOWED THAT THE ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL VALVE SOLENOID WAS BAD, AND GM DOES NOT MAKE A REPLACEMENT NOR IS A REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GM CONCERNING THIS, BUT WAS REFERRED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO HAS TOLD US THEIR IS NO REPLACEMENT PART BEING MADE, AND HAVE LEFT US WITH NO OPTIONS, AS THE CAR CANNOT BE USED AS A TRADE IN, DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I'VE BEEN ON THE MALIBU FORUM AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE IN THE SAME SITUATION, AND GM IS GIVEN US ALL THE BACK OF THEIR HAND, WITH NO ANSWERS. WE NOW HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD CAR THAT WE ARE PAYING ON, BUT CANNOT TRADE IN OR SELL UNTIL GM AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS ACT.

RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION ON THE DASH, ENGINE LIGHT. TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED & IT'S THE ROCKER ARM CONTROL VALVE. I'VE BEEN WAITING ON THIS PART SINCE LAST YEAR. I'M NOT ABLE TO USE MY REMOTE STARTER AS A RESULT, & I'M NOT ABLE TO GET A PLATE STICKER BCZ THE CAR WON'T PASS EMISSIONS. I FEEL THIS WILL START TO MESS UP THE ENGINE, & GM IS SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. I'M READING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, & FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!

MY AUTO STOP CAME ON WHILE AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE MY CAR SHUT OFF AND WON'T START I TRIED JUMPING CAR IT STILL WON'T WORK. THE TOW COMPANY THAT TOWED MY CAR HAS TOLD ME ABOUT A RECALL ON AUTO STOP

THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION BUT MOST RECENTLY IT SCARED ME MOST BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY ! AS THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IT WHEN INTO POWER SAVE MODE (AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF) HOWEVER ONCE TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES IT DIDN'T NOT START THE CAR WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AT THE MIDDLE OFF A BUSY HIGHWAY . I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO CRANK BUT IT WOULD NOT START AFTER 3-5 MINS IT'S FINALLY CRANKED UP . NOW I'VE NOTICED THAT IF IN COMING TO A STOP I HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM GOING INTO AUTO SHUTOFF MODE BY LETTING OFF THE BRAKE A LITTLE BEFORE IT ACTUALLY COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP .ALSO I WAS AT THE DRIVE THRU WINDOW OF A RESTAURANT WHEN IT SHUT OFF ON ME THE LAST TIME IT FINALLY GAVE A "SERVICE STABILIZER" MESSAGE LUCKILY I HAD A PORTABLE BOOSTER IN THE TRUNK AND JUST CONNECTED IT TO THE BATTERY AND THE CAR CRANKED RIGHT UP . SO FOR MY SAFETY AND MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY I KEEP THE PORTABLE BOOSTER IN THE TRUNK BECAUSE IDK WHEN IT'LL JUST CUT OFF . ALSO I HAVE USE MY WARRANTY TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED HOWEVER AFTER GETTING BEATEN OUT OF SO MUCH MONEY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND BEING TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE IDK WHAT ELSE TO DO .IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERYDAY BUT IT'S BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY NOW. ALSO WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA TO COME ON .I NOTICED BEFORE I HAD THE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH IT SHUTTING DOWN COMPLETELY A COUPLES TIMES WHEN I WOULD PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE THE RADIO /SCREEN WOULD GO CO

AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON MOVING OR SITTING AND SAYS SERVICE AIRBAG.THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SAYS OFF EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN IT

MY CAR WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE. IT HAD JUST PASSED THE ADMISSIONS TEST, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I STARTED DRIVING MY CAR IN THE CITY LIMITS, AND WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT I SMELLED SMOKE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAR BEHIND ME. AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT I REALIZED THAT IT WAS MY CAR THAT WAS SMOKING. UPON LIFTING MY HOOD I SEEN OIL EVERYWHERE AND MY ENGINE WAS SMOKING. AN ALERT CAME ACROSS MY SCREEN URGING ME TO DECREASE SPEED AND ADD OIL. AFTER INVESTIGATING IT WAS TOLD TO ME THAT IT IS MY ENGINE VARIABLE TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE, AND GM IS CURRENTLY NOT MAKING ANYMORE AND THIS PART IS SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE. I NEED THIS PART IN ORDER FOR MY CAR TO RUN!!!!!

MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SERVICE STABILI TRACK LIGHT FLASHED ON MY SCREEN AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING BUT WENT OFF AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE . THE NEXT DAY WHILE ACCELERATING THE CAR STUTTERED AND FELT ALMOST LIKE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD WITH LITTLE RIVETS . ITS STOPPED AND AGAIN ALL THE LIGHTS DISSAPEARED. THIS MORNING AS SOON AS I STARTED MY CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE IT STUTTERS AND FEELS AS IF I'M DRIVING DOWN A RIVETED ROAD .

MY VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SOLENOID WENT OUT ON MY CAR. THE PART NUMBER IS 12633613. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 10 DAYS AND CHEVY HAS FAILED TO EVEN GIVE THE SHOP AN ETA ON THIS PART. NOT ONE CHEVY DEALER IN THE COUNTRY HAS THE PART. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE PART I NEED FOR MY CAR NO LONGER AVAILABLE 'OIL CONTROL VALVE' SO THEREFORE I CAN'T EVEN GET A STICKER FOR MY TAG. MY CAR KEEP FAILING EMISSION DUE TO THIS AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS I HAVE TO STILL PAY A CAR NOTE FOR A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE.

SEPT 2019 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU. DEALER DETERMINED PART# 12633613, ROCKER ARM CONTROL VALVE, IS THE SOURCE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CAN NOT GET THE PART THRU DEALER OR AFTERMARKET. I AM IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALER ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND THERE IS NO ETA ON OBTAINING THE PART. I FILED A CASE WITH CHEVROLET ALSO AND THEY ALSO HAVE NO ETA. EVERY TWO DAYS A CHEVY REP CALLS ME TO TELL ME THERE IS NO UPDATED INFORMATION. THIS PART AFFECTS MALIBU'S & IMPALA'S AND IF YOU LOOK ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF PEOPLE THAT NEED THE SAME PART. THERE ARE EVEN ONLINE FORUMS DEDICATED TO THIS PARTICULAR PART PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE PART FOR THIS MANY PEOPLE LOOKING FOR REPLACEMENTS. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND CHEVROLET APPARENTLY IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VARIABLE TIMING OIL CONTROL SENSOR FAILED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT MANUALLY DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED THE BATTERY TO BE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (NEIL HUFFMAN CHEVROLET BUICK GMC OF FRANKFORT 1220 VERSAILLES RD #102, FRANKFORT, KY 40601) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE OIL CONTROL SENSOR. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS INDEFINITELY ON BACKORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TRUNK RELEASE STOPPED WORKING ON FOB AS WELL AS THE RELEASE BUTTON ON BACK OF CAR ON THE TRUNK. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THERE WAS AN INTERNAL SHORTENING ON THE DECK LID LATCH.

THE ROCKER ARM CONTROL VALVE HAS TO BE CHANGED ON MY CAR. GENERAL MOTORS AND CHEVEROLET CONTINUES TO SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO GET THE PART. MY CHECK LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND I NEED THIS MATTER CORRECTED. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUY THE PART AND GET IT FIXED. I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2019. THE PART NUMBER IS 12633613.

UNKNOWN - EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR SNOWS, SOMEHOW WATER GETS IN MY CAR. THE WINDOWS ARE COMPLETELY SHUT, DOORS ARE CLOSED, AND TRUNK IS TOO. HOWEVER, THE AREA FOR MY SPARE TIRE FILLS UP WITH WATER. IT IS NOW CAUSING MY BACK SEAT AND SEAT BELTS TO GET SOAKED. THE TOP THAT COVERS MY SPARE TIRE HAS FALLEN THROUGH. MOLD AND MILDEW ARE DEVELOPING AND THE SMELL TAKES OVER MY CAR.

CAR WAS INITIALLY BROUGHT TO INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER IN SAVANNAH, GA. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE. SPECIFICALLY, THE BRAKES FAIL WHEN THE CAR IS PLACED IN REVERSE. IT MAY BE TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE AS IT IS EXPERIENCED WHEN THE CAR IS STARTING UP - TYPICALLY IN THE MORNING. THEY SOUGHT HELP FROM VADEN CHEVROLET IN SAVANNAH, GA. THE CAR WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION FOR 1+ WEEKS AND THEY DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE BREAKING SYSTEM. THE CAR WAS THEN RETURNED TO THE INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER WHERE THEY CONTINUE TO STUDY THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER AND VADEN FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SAFETY ISSUE, I CONTACT GENERAL MOTORS (1-866-636-2273) TO REPORT THIS SAFETY ISSUE DIRECTLY. THE INDIVIDUAL MY CASE WAS ASSIGNED TO, "[XXX]", DID NOT FOLLOW UP ON ACTION ITEMS AND WHEN I TRIED TO RETURN HER CALLS, HER VOICEMAIL BOX WAS FULL. I ASKED FOR THIS CASE TO BE ESCALATED TODAY (2/5/2020), BUT SHE INDICATED SHE WAS AT THE TOP - NO ONE TO ESCALATE ISSUE TO. WHEN I ASKED IF SHE REPORTED DIRECTLY TO GM'S CEO, [XXX] , SHE STATED SHE DID NOT KNOW WHO THAT WAS. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW (MONTHS) AND WOULD LIKE THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY GM AS IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY MY INDEPENDENT REPAIR CENTER. I AM TRYING TO PREVENT A SERIOUS PROBLEM (BRAKES FAILING WHILE CAR IS IN USE), BUT GM IS NOT LISTENING. I WILL NOT DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL IT IS ADDRESSED, BUT

IN SEPT OF 2019, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR MY 2015 CHEVY MALIBU. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT RAN THE CODE P2646, AND THE THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED THE GM PART 12633613. THEY ATTEMPTED TO ORDER IT, BUT SAID IT WAS ON BACKORDER AND HAD BEEN FOR A WHILE AND THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT FOR ME. HERE IT IS, FEB OF 2020 AND STILL NO PART. GM THAT THE PART HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND THERE IS NO ETA FOR A NEW PART. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE, BUT IT HAS A ROUGH IDLE, POWER SURGES, IT CAN BARELY ACCELERATE AND IT HAS STALLED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES. THEY KEEP TELLING ME OH IT'S A "PART DELAY". NO, IT'S NOT ! YOU DON'T MAKE THE PART ANYMORE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE 2014-2015 MALIBU'S & IMPALA'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THESE CARS. MY CAR IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD & THERE IS NO REASON THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE A VERY SIMPLE, $60 PART FOR IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE HIT A DEER. THE DEER WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THERE WERE NO DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS ALSO DAMAGE TO THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE HEAD OF THE DEER ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FIRST TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THEN TO THE DEALER. THE INSURANCE COMPANY ADJUSTER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND HAD NOT YET DETERMINED IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO (PAT O'BRIEN CHEVROLET VERMILION 2315 OH-60, VERMILION, OH 44089 (888) 392-1095) BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 9/4/19 AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT I NEED THE ROCKER ARM SELANOID VALVE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME IT'S BEEN ON BACK ORDER SOME JUNE 2019. IT IS NOW 1/28/2020 AND CHEVY HAS YET TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ON WHEN PART WILL BE MANUFACTURED AND AVAILABLE. NO DEALERSHIP IN THE COUNTRY HAS THIS PART. VEHICLES MOSTLY AFFECT ARE 2014-2015 BUT MY DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN RECEIVING CALLS UP TO YEAR 2017. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE AFTER MARKET VERSION OF THE PART IS BEING PULLED FROM THE MARKET. CHEVY HAD YET TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ISSUE A RECALL OR EVEN MANUFACTURER A NECESSARY PART FOR THE ENGINE!

I OWN A 2015 MALIBU THAT HAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT IS ON. IT NEEDS A PART (#12633613) THAT HAS NOT BEEN PRODUCED BY GM SINCE AT LEAST LAST AUGUST WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON. CONSEQUENTLY MY CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION SO I CANNOT GET LEGAL LICENSE PLATES. GM IS AWARE OF MY SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER [XXX]. MY CASE HAS BEEN 'ESCALATED'. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY CASE MANAGER, [XXX], FOR A MONTH NOW AND THIS WEEK WAS TOLD I HAVE NEW CASE MANAGER, [XXX], WHO IS HIGHER UP THAN [XXX]. WELL TODAY [XXX] FROM GM CALLED. SHE HAD NO ANSWERS FOR ME ON THE CAR. THE ONLY POSITIVE POINT IS THAT SHE CALLED ME FROM DETROIT. SO IT LOOKS LIKE I FINALLY GOT TO SOMEONE AT HEADQUARTERS. 'SHE UNDERSTANDS WHY I AM UPSET', AND WISHES THERE WAS SOMETHING MORE SHE COULD DO FOR ME BUT UNFORTUNATELY ALL SHE COULD TELL ME WAS 'THAT MY CASE HAS BEEN ESCALATED.' ADDITIONALLY, SHE COULD NOT TELL ME MY PART WAS BEING PRODUCED. SHE COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY SIGN THAT GM PLANNED TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP RESOLVE MY PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAMERA CAME ON I HAVE ON THE SCREEN A MESSAGE.... SERVICE AIRBAG. THIS JUST HAPPEND YESTERDAY, I WENT TO WALMART AND WHEN I CAME BACK TO GO HOME I HAD THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN CHEVROLET DEALERS IN THE TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO AREAS, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT USED A CODE READER AND DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO WARNING. I JUST STARTED MY CAR AND THE DISPLAY SAID TO SERVICE AIRBAG. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THEY ALL TURNED THEIR VEHICLES IN TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND ALMOST ALL HAD A FAULTY AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE. I HOPE THAT SAFETY INVESTIGATES DEEPLY ON THIS SO NO ONE WILL HAVE A DEADLY WRECK. THE WEBSITE IS POSTED BELOW. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/CHEVROLET/MALIBU/2015/AIR-BAG-LIGHT-ON-PROBLEMS.PHP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE SUN ROOF WAS OPEN, THE CONTACT CLOSED THE DRIVER'S WINDOW AND THE SUN ROOF CLOSED WITHOUT WARNING. ROGER DEAN CHEVROLET (101 SW PINE ISLAND RD, CAPE CORAL, FL 33991, (239) 574-3326) WAS CONTACTED AND REQUESTED THAT THE CONTACT BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.

THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING THE VVT SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONED AND ALL THE OIL SPILLED OUT OF THE CAR RENDERING THE NON OPERABLE. THIS PART CAN NOT BE FOUND ANYWHERE. I WAS TOLD BE THE SEVERAL DEALSHIPS THAT THIS PART HAS BEEN SO BACK ORDER SINCE JUNE 2019 LEAVING ME WITHOUT A CAR AND WITH A CAR NOTE. GM SHOULD OFFER A CREDIT BACK TO THEIR CUSTOMERS!!

I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO NUMEROUS SHOPS TO GET THE MATTER FIXED BUT NO CODE SHOWS UP WHEN BEING TESTED FOR AND BLOWN FUSES. THE COMPLETE RIGHT TURN SING ALL AND HEAD LAMPS GOUTS OUT WHEN I USE IT TO TURN RIGHT. EVERYTHING GOES COMPLETELY BLACK AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR. REALLY AM AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR AT NIGHT. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT COULD BE WRONG?

IT LIKE SHUDDERS OR SHAKES GOING CERTAIN SPEEDS LIKE GAS ISN'T GETTING THROUGH OR SOMETHING ....BEEN HAPPENING BUT GETTING WORSE NOW

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION (AUTO OFF ENGAGED). WHEN I STARTED TO MOVE, THE CAR WOULD BARELY GO (AUTO OFF WAS DISENGAGED). IT WAS JERKING AS I WAS GIVING IT GAS. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE CAME ON AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I MANAGED TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT , PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN I TRIED TO REV THE ENGINE AND IT JUST DIDN'T WANT TO. I SHUT IT OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARED. I DROVE BACK TO WORK AND IT SEEMED FINE, BUT FOR MONTHS NOW, IT SEEMS WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF, IT HESITATES A BIT BEFORE GOING.

I WENT TO WORK FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2019. WHERE MY CAR SAT FOR TWO HOURS. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT I HAD A SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. MY CAR IS A 2105, I'M THE SECOND OWNER. IT'S NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I HAD BOUGHT IT FROM A YEAR AGO. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY AIR BAG MODULE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T TAKE AN ACCIDENT FOR FAULTING IN SEVERE INJURY, BEFORE I HAD KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING ON. I CALLED GM HOPING TO GET SOME ANSWERS. ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME. FROM READING ONLINE I'VE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE. I JUST PRAY SOMETHING CAN BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WE DON'T PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A CAR, TO HAVE THINGS GO SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THEM. I UNDERSTAND THINGS GET WORE OUT AND NEED REPLACED, BUT COMING FROM A COMPANY WHO STATES SAFETY IS A PRIORITY, I DON'T FEEL AN AIR BAG MODULE SHOULD BE GOING OUT AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS.
