NHTSA Complaint #11330253 — 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN NEED A GM PART FOR ALMOST EIGHT MONTHS. THE PART # IS 12633613. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH CHEVY REPRESENTATIVES OVER A DOZEN TIMES. DESPITE DISCONTINUING THE ENGINE THAT REQUIRES THIS PART AND THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND PEOPLE WHO CAN'T OPERATE THEIR VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE, CHEVY/GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO DO A RECALL. THE FAULTY PART CAUSES CARS TO JERK AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BEFORE REALIZING THE CAR WASN'T FULLY OPERABLE, I WAS ALMOST HIT DUE TO MY INABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAVE INVESTED IN CHEVY AND I HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE OF MY CAR. ONE SMALL SOLENOID ROCKER ARM SHOULD NOT KEEP ME FROM ENJOYING THE VEHICLE I HAVE PURCHASED. ASIDE FROM THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LOSS FROM THE CAR ITSELF, I SPENT HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES. I NEED SOME REMEDY IN THIS CASE AS CHEVY WILL NOT ADMIT THE PART HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED (ALTHOUGH A REPRESENTATIVE DID ADMIT TO THIS) DESPITE THEIR STATED REQUIREMENT OF PRODUCING OR MAKING AVAILABLE COMPARABLE PARTS FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. I NEED HELP AND I HOPE CHEVY IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE WILLFUL CONSUMER VIOLATIONS. *TR
