NHTSA Complaint #10824798 — 2002 CHEVROLET IMPALA

VALVE COVER LEAKS OIL ONTO MANIFOLD . WHEN ENGINE IS HOT YOU CAN SMELL THE OIL BURNING ON THE MANIFOLD. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE #15757 NOTIFYING US OF THIS PROBLEM IN DECEMBER 2015. THE DEALER TELLS US GM DOESN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE DEFECT BUT THEY DEALER WOULD REPAIR DEFECT AND BILL US AND GM WOULD REIMBURSE US FOR REPAIR. IF THE DEALER HAS THE PARTS TO REPAIR DEFECT WHY NOT JUST DO IT? RECALL NOTICE WARNS US NOT TO PARK VEHICLE IN GARAGE BECAUSE OF FIRE DANGER.
