Consumer Description
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR USED AT A DEALERSHIP. BEFORE TAKING POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE, THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO FIX ALL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. I WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON DUE TO A ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL VALVE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR A PART THAT'S ON BACKORDER AND THE PART NEEDED IS GM #12633613 ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL VALVE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH MYSELF, I DISCOVERED THIS PART FAILS COMMONLY ON MY VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS WELL AS 2014-2015 CHEVY MALIBUS PRODUCED WITH THE SAME ENGINE. GM NOR ANY AFTERMARKET COMPANIES HAVE THIS PART IN STOCK. I'VE CONTACTED GM AND WAS ONLY TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THIS PART AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, A FEW OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM THAT THIS PART IS DISCONTINUED. THERE ARE PEOPLE WAITING MONTHS FOR THIS TO BE FIXED AND GM SEEMS NOT TO WANTING TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. I WOULD GET ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THEN I WOULD HAVE TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THE LOANER CAR I'M CURRENTLY DRIVING FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS GM'S PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.
