NHTSA Complaint #11327388 — 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR ITS REGULAR OIL CHANGE. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE CAR STARTED DRIVING FUNNY. I NOTICE THAT WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING. AFTER IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES WITHIN THAT SAME WEEK, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD THE OIL CHANGE, NOT BEFORE CALLING THE SERVICE DEPT. SEVERAL TIME IN THE WEEK TO VOICE MY CONCERNS. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND HAVE THEM CHECK MY OIL LEVEL TO MAKE SURE ALL WAS WELL. I TOLD THEM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING AND THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND ASKED COULD THEY RE-CHECK MY OIL LEVEL. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CHECKED AND SAID THAT THE OIL WAS FINE. SHE THEN SUGGESTED THAT I PAY $112.48 DOLLARS FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY TO DETERMINE WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I DID! ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS P2645 INTAKE ROCKER ARM CONTROL CIRCUIT SOLENOID. THEN SHE GAME ME A QUOTE OF $407.35 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE PART UPFRONT BEFORE ANYTHING COULD BE DONE AND ON TOP OF THAT, THIS PART WAS ON BACK-ORDER AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE WEEKS TO FILL THE ORDER. I NEED TO USE MY VEHICLE TO GET AROUND AND THIS WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! THIS WAS OVER 2 MONTHS AGO. I THEN TURNED TO THE INTERNET TO DO MY RESEARCH ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IS A FAULTY PART FROM THE GM MANUFACTURE. AND GM WAS NOT WILLING TO REPLACE THE PART EVEN AFTER THEY PLACE THIS PART IN MY VEHICLE KNOWINGLY THAT THIS WAS A DEFECTED PART AND THAT DOWN THE ROAD IT WOULD BE FAULTY, NOT ONLY IN MY 2014 BUT THE 2015 CHEVY IMPALA'S AND THE CHEVY MALIBU. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND GM NEED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM PAYING FOR A CAR FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS THAT I CANT EVEN DRIVE! SHAMEFUL GM! *TR
