while waiting to make a left turn when traffic cleared I pressed the gas pedal and heard a loud grinding noise and the car would not move for 2 or 3 seconds and suddenly moved. Very dangerous. Car forums have many of the same incidents with great difficulty in resolving this problem and after several years no answers. This is life threatening issue.

WIRING HARNESS IS DEFECTIVE AND FRICTION CAUSES ELECTRICAL MISFIRES THAT AFFECT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, FROM DEACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING TO NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN OVER THE ENGINE TO START. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR OVER 4 YEARS AND GM NOR ANY SAFETY COMMISSION WILL DO ANYTHING IN TERMS OF A RECALL. THIS COMPLAINT IS THE ONLY RECOURSE THAT I HAVE IN ORDER TO NOTIFY PUBLIC OF THE ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING AS IT CAN CAUSE SAFETY HAZARD ON ROAD.

WITH NO WARNING THE ENGINE OF MY CAR HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. DUE TO DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS AND GEARS. KNOWN TO BEING PROBLEMATIC AND BREAKING AROUND 85,000 MILES. MANY ON LINE COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ENGINE, BUT GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND DO A SAFETY RECALL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN MY ENGINE FAILED THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT TO ALERT US TO A PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND IT MADE A CLANGING NOISE ALONG WITH A THICK CLOUD OF BLUE SMOKE.. WE WERE LUCKY TO GET THE CAR OFF THE SIDE OF ROAD BEFORE GETTING REAR ENDED. TIMING CHAINS ARE NOT A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM. THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO LAST THE LIFE OF MOTOR. IF THEY ARE FAILING AT 85,000 MILES OR LESS WHY ISN'T A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LISTED FOR IT. OUR CAR WAS REGULARLY MAINTAINED AT 4,000 MILES WITH SYNTHETIC OIL. I DID NOT USE A CHEVY MAINTENANCE MECHANIC I USED A MECHANIC WHO HAS CLOSE TO 50 YEARS EXPERIENCE. JI CALLED GM UP TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPEN THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND I CAN'T GO BY ON LINE FORUMS. THEY WANTED ME TO TOW THE CAR TO A CHEVY GARAGE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I ASKED THEM IF THEY CAN HAVE A MECHANIC COME TO WHERE MY CAR IS, BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD ANOTHER TOW AND IT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUS THE ENGINE FAILED. THEY REFUSED. I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO REPLACE A MOTOR AT 85,000 MILES WHEN MOST IMPALAS GO 200,000 MILES. AFTER ON LINE RESEARCH THERE WAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ENGINE WITH TIMING CHAINS AND ALSO A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH DIFFERENT MODELS, BUT SAME ENGINE. I HAVE NO MONEY TO REPLACE AN ENGINE AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.

VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 90,000 MILES AND THE ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THE DEALER HAS ALWAY DONE THE OIL CHANGES ETC, AND NEVER MENTIONED IT. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. I SEE FROM OTHERS THAT THIS IS COMMON ON THE 3.6 ENGINE NO MATTER WHAT VEHICLE IT IS IN.

IN 02/2016, ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY CAR STOP ON THE INTERSTATE. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO SERRA CHEVROLET AGAIN. THEY SAID MY FUEL PUMP SENSOR AND SOMETHING ELSE WAS GONE.

MY 2013 IMPALA LTZ WILL SUDDENLY DECELERATE TO AROUND 35 MPH AND HESITATE WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS. THREE MESSAGES POP UP, "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK". THIS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I BROUGHT IT RIGHT IN TO GLOBAL CHEVY IN NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ. THEY FIXED AND IT SEEMED FINE BUT NOW HAPPENING AGAIN BUT THIS TIME, I ALMOST GOT T-BONED IN AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE FOUND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE IN MANY DIFFERENT FORUMS. NOW I NEED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!!!!!! I ALMOST GOT SMASHED AND I WILL BE MAKING SURE THIS IS DOCUMENTED IN AS MANY FORUMS AS POSSIBLE. THIS IS A CHEVY PROBLEM. I GOT CHARGED OVER $650 TO FIX THIS LAST TIME!!!!!!!! I AM UPSET AS HELL AND NOT REALLY SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS. I NEED TO DRIVE MY KIDS AROUND IN THIS TIME BOMB NOW? I REFUSE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SUCH A DANGER TO OPERATE. SECONDARY ISSUE IS THAT SOMETIMES WHEN BACKING OUT OF A SPOT IN REVERSE, APPLYING DRIVE AND TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD, THE SOUNDS LIKE GEARS GRINDING THAT GOES AWAY IF I STRAIGHTEN THE WHEEL OUT. WTH IS THAT?? THIS HAPPENED AT THE LIGHT ON CENTENNIAL AVENUE IN PISCATAWAY NJ CROSSING OVER S WASHINGTON AVE. WAS STATIONARY, THEN IN MOTION. THE AUTO DECELERATION HAPPENED WHILE AT SPEED OF 35 MPH AND THEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. I HAVE AN INVOICE FOR THE FIRST REPAIR. I WOULD APPRECIATE EXPEDITED HELP ON THE MATTER.
