Electrical system, ignitionJul 5, 2016
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Buick Verano and 2016 Chevrolet Malibu as the electronic park lock lever may allow the ignition key to be removed without the transmission being in PARK. Also, certain 2013 Buick Encore, 2011 Buick Regal, 2013-2014 Buick Verano, 2011-2016 Chevrolet Cruze, 2010-2013 Chevrolet Equinox 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2011-2013 GMC Terrain vehicles may have been serviced with similar defective replacement electronic park lock levers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
If the key is removed without the transmission in PARK, the vehicle may rollaway as occupants are exiting, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the key cylinder lock housing, free of charge. The recall began on October 14, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Buick 1-800-521-7300, and GMC 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 50490 and 50491.

Visibility, sun/moon roof assemblyMar 23, 2015
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles October 24, 2011, to March 5, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the Slide or Tilt switch for the roof panel may not be adequately recessed to prevent the switch from inadvertently being pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 118, "Power-Operated Window, Partition, and Roof Panel Systems."
The Slide or Tilt roof panel switch may inadvertently be pressed and the roof panel may auto-close unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a pinch injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the Body Control Module (BCM) software to remove auto-close feature for certain switch positions, free of charge. The recall began April 21, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 15176.

Service brakes, hydraulic, power assist, vacuumMay 14, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured June 12, 2013, through May 2, 2014, and equipped with a 2.5L engine with the auto stop/start option. The affected vehicles may experience a complete loss of brake vacuum assist, disabling the hydraulic boost assist. As such, these vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
If the hydraulic boost assist is disabled, slowing or stopping the vehicle will require additional brake pedal effort and a lengthened stopping distance. Both of these effects increase the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the electronic brake control module software, free of charge. The recall began on July 3, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020. General Motors number for this recall is 14201.

Service brakes, hydraulic, foundation components, discMay 8, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Lacrosse vehicles manufactured January 29, 2014, through March 31, 2014 and 2014 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured February 7, 2014, through March 31, 2014, and equipped with 17 inch front brake rotors. The affected vehicles may have had brake rotors intended for the rear of the car accidentally installed on the front. The rear rotors, while the same diameter, are thinner and may result in a front brake pad detaching from the caliper.
If a brake pad detaches from caliper, there may be a sudden reduction in braking, lengthening the distance required to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front brake rotors, and install the correct rotors with new brake pads, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on June 20, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick) or 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14128.

Power train, automatic transmissionFeb 21, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Verano, and Enclave, and Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Cruze, and Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjuster may disengage from the transmission shift lever. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect." They also fail to conform to FMVSS number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any affected transmission shift cable adjusters, free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Buick owners at 1-800-521-7300, and GMC owners at 1-800-462-8782. General Motors' number associated with this recall is 14048.

Visibility, defroster/defogger/hvac systemNov 13, 2013
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured June 12, 2013, through November 5, 2013. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control in these vehicles may intermittently become inoperable when the vehicle is started, preventing the windshield defroster from working. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 103, "Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems."
The inability to turn on the windshield defroster may decrease the driver's visibility thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the electronic climate control module software, free of charge. The recall began during December 2013. Owners may contact GM at 1-800-521-7300. GM's recall campaign number is 13380.

THE VEHICLE STOPS WHILE IN MOTION AND IN DRIVING GEAR THEN WHEEL LOCK UP. MAKING IT UNABLE TO PROCEED TO TURN OR DRIVE. THIS DOES NOT MATTER IF ON HIGHWAY OR PUBLIC STREET.

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

THE CAR RAN WELL BUT NOT FOR LONG, AFTER LIKE 21/2 YEARS THE BATTERY HAD SOME ISSUES. THE CAR DID NOT START AT ALL. I ENDED BUYING A NEW ONE, EVEN THOUGH THE OLD ONE COULD BE CHARGED. LIKE 9 MONTHS AGO SAME SITUATION BATTERY NOT GOOD. AS IF NO ELECTRICITY IS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM, BOUGHT A SECOND BATTERY. IN 2 OCCASIONS THE CAR DID START PROPERLY. TWO WEEKS AGO DRIVING, THE CAR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BECAUSE IT JUST TURNED OFF FOR NO REASON! DRIVING AGAIN THE NEXT WEEK IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO PAY FOR A TOW TRUCK.THE CAR HAS NOT STARTED PROPERLY BUT IT THEN SHUTS DOWN WHEN I GET IT STARTED, DRIVING IN MY PARKING LOT. I'VE HAD TO PUSH IT BACK TO MY PARKING SPOT.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN JANUARY 2020, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THEN ACCELERATES SUDDENLY WHICH IS A HAZARD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE FAULTY PART WAS GM# 12633613 ROCKER ARM CONTROL-SOLENOID VALVE. THE DEALERSHIP FRIENDLY CHEVROLET IN DALLAS, TX TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX THE CAR BECAUSE THE DAMAGED PART WAS OBSOLETE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHEVROLET AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE #9-5872869989 BUT AS I TRY TO FOLLOW UP THEY DON'T ANSWER MY CALLS ANY MORE. CHEVROLET JUST GAVE ME SOME WEBSITES WHERE TO FIND THE PART, BUT NONE OF THE SITES HAS THE PART AND I CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SOLUTION FROM CHEVROLET AND THEY HAVE JUST SENT ME TO LOOK FOR THE PART IN THE AFTERMARKET OR JUNKYARDS. I HAVE WASTED COUNTLESS HOURS LOOKING FOR THE PART WITH NO SUCCESS. PLEASE HAVE THE MANUFACTURER RECALL THE VEHICLE OR START PRODUCING THE PART NUMBER AGAIN SO MY CAR CAN BE FIXED. I WONT BE ABLE TO PASS THE INSPECTION OR SELL THE CAR WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. *TR

THE ENGINE VARIABLE TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE IS MALFUNCTIONING AS I HAVE SEEN WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ON THE INTERNET. GM IS NO LONGER MAKING THE PART. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY, BUT WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY, THE CAR SEEMINGLY STOPPED ACCELERATING EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS. THE CAR WAS STUCK WITH NO PROPULSION FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE I COULD ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE CAR NOW ONLY SLOWLY ACCELERATES, OR DIES IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. MY FUEL ECONOMY HAS BEEN WORSE AND ACCORDING TO REPORTS THE EMISSIONS OF THE CAR ARE WORSE. NO ACTION IS BEING TAKEN BY GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

REQUEST #282669 COMPLAINT15 APRIL, 2020 TRACKING # 11321107 THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINT REFERENCES MY 2014 CHEVY MALIBU, ECOTEC 2.5L DOHC ENGINE, VIN #[XXX]. PURCHASED 9/15/2014 FROM GEORGE HAHAS CHEVROLET IN WILDWOOD, FL. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH ~23,300 MILES ON IT. IN OCTOBER 2019, THE VEHICLE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH AT 20-25 MILES PER HOUR (ODOMETER: ~21,000) AND THE VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE ENGINE GAS MILEAGE ALSO DECREASED. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROCKER ARM VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (UNDER WARRANTY). IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE CLEANED DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING PART. THIS CLEAN-UP WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE WARRANTED PART. I WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH. AT THAT POINT I WAS TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AS IT WOULD NO LONGER BE DRIVABLE. THIS REPAIR WAS ATTEMPTED DURING THE GM WORKER STRIKE AND THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER THE STRIKE, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FROM GM OR ANY AFTERMARKET MANUFACTURER. AFTER WAITING UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR, I AGAIN CONTACTED NAHAS CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE, AND GM HAD NO PLANS TO PRODUCE IT. FURTHER, A WARRANTED PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FROM ANY MANUFACTURER. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT OVER 20 VEHICLES AT THIS SINGLE DEALERSHIP NEEDED THIS SAME PART. ON MARCH 2, 2020 I CONTACTED GM CONSUMER SERVICES (CASE # 9-5847264087). THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE INFORMED THAT GM HAD NO PLANS TO MAKE THIS PART AND KNEW OF NO AFTERMARKET MANUFACTURER WHO COULD SUPPLY A WARRANTED PART. THEY TOLD ME OF THREE UNWARRANTED MANUFACTURERS, BUT IF THE PART EVER CAUSED FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, THE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
