I am complaining about the just purchased whic was vavoline when placed in vehicle engine thermal viscosity breakdown happened and engine block seized. Restarted after oil change same oil engine block seized. With what I'm reading and watching the third or fourth vehicle towed from the neighborhood maybe it's the motor oil. I understand that high heat breaks down rapidly with soy based lubricants. I understand you might not be able to admit this or are unaware but could you please keep on file.
When I am driving my vehicle the gear shift the stick on it's own.I hear a pop sound when it happens.this happens when I am in motion and driving the car..I have already taken my car in for a recall last year to replace a ignition switch.it has been happening for a few weeks and I thought it was normal, until I was in traffic and it moved on it's own. Also last year I had to have the fuel injector replaced on my car.it had been leaking gas for a while.the dealership told me I would have to pay to have it fixed.there weren't any recalls during the time.
175555 miles fuel smell and fuel loss when car is running. Rough start, some missing. Fuel filter failed at filter inlet spraying gas onto underbody of car so didn't see the fuel spill. Replaced filter and O rings.squealing belt sound at start up. Serpentine belt tensioner broke, replaced tensioner and belt. No check engine warnings, no electronic gauges I have the basic Impala model. Watched the fuel gauge drop by lines while driving and smelled gas when shut off car. Fire hazard, and engine failure if the belt broke completely..another 300$ spent
I purchased this vehicle for Suburban Kia in troy. On the third day of driving it, I noticed gasoline smells coming into the car. I took the vehicle back on 1/18/16 and they were not able to find out the cause of the gas smell coming into the car. I will be taking it back on 1/21/16 when they can keep it all day. The smells come when the care is in motion. Enough fumes to take my breath away. I have to drive with the windows open.

Had to recently replace fuel ejection and other part for fuel leaking and fumes overcoming in car. Now the speedometer, fuel and tack gauge stopped working. GM has not recalled this on the Impala and they are aware this is a problem but will not take responsibility. These issues have been a serious safety hazard for my daughter and cannot drive the car. Every Chevy dealership and parts stores think there is a recall until they look it up. Thats how much they are aware of the issues. Once again ill have to pay approx. $300 just for the part. Dorman oe solutions instrument cluster. How can we stop GM from getting away with this! we need help!
Intermittent no crank, no start. Problem is known problem with ignition switch, tumbler, and defective "passlock system". dealers charge excessive proces for repairs that may or may not actually fix the problem. It seems to be a bad design issue, and is related to the defective ignition recalls. There is a fairly extensive complaint list, and the mfr certainly has data reflecting that the problem covers multi model and years of GM cars and trucks.
Gas fumes inside and out. Can't drive car it's that bad. Had Chevy dealer told me it was fuel filter replaced it guess what still had fumes after driving half a milehad car since 2006.80000 miles on car 68 year old, car in excellent condition, can't drive or would end up in hospital. GM dealer told me there is no recall. Somebody has rocks in there head. There has been a lot of complaints about this, somebody needs to quiet lining their pockets and take care of their products.
