Consumer Description

ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. I HAD A DIAGNOSTICS TEST DONE THEY SAID IT IS THE ROCKER ARM SOLENOID. THEY SAID THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND 1 OF OUR LOCAL DEALERS HAD 6 CARS WAITING FOR THIS PART AT THE TIME AND HAD ALREADY BEEN WAITING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT GM SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL FOR.
