The stabiltrac light comes on,sometimes I lose power. Sometimes the back up camera doesn’t work. Sometimes the parking brake light comes on the dash. Then ieverything will suddenly go away and everything is fine,only to have the same problems. This has been happening for months. I took it to the dealer multiple times and they are unable to fix it.

My left hand (front bank) catalytic converter near the cylinder head fell off yesterday at the mounting flange. It landed in/on my fan. I went online to find a replacement part and found gm service bulletin pip5419a & b first issued in 2016. . That bulletin explains a known "defect" with the weld. The catalytic converter pipe cracks at the mounting weld. The TSB was issued for all Impalas from 2014-2016, all vins all transmissions, all 3. 6l rpo lfx engines. It says that gm is working on a solution for this concern. Why isn't there a recall on this defect? the file I've attached is not from my car but from the TSB. It's very similar to what my cars catalytic converter looks like.

There is a slight vibration around 20 to 30 mph as gears are shifting and it goes away. . . Does it repeatedly at same position and everything goes back to normal. . . No codes or lights on dash happens mostly in motion on inclines and even ground at same speed grouping.

Issue with the transmission malfunctioning. The dealership service the transmission several times. And know the transmission needs replacement after the warranty has expired.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Impala. While driving 20 mph smoke was detected from underneath the hood. Upon exiting vehicle, the contact noticed oil emerging from engine. The low oil pressure warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated the rocker arm control needed to be replaced. The contact called herrin-gear Chevrolet (1685 high st, jackson, ms 39202 601) 354-3882) whom informed her that the parts were on back order. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 104,928.

Owners of 2014-2015 Impalas are not able to get this part call the rocker arm control valve. They no longer make this part to fix the cars. So people who own those model cars are forced to trade in cars that their still paying car notes on. GMC has not spoke about this matter and left their customers stuck out without warning. We are forced to go back into long term car notes when half of the people almost finished paying off their note. And others have paid off their car that's 5 years old that they can no longer buy. It's very said .

Rocker arm oil control value was replaced once and has went out again and the piece was said to be faulty but GMC cannot tell anyone a date on when they will have this part available. Ive had this part replaced oncve already and now im being told it is no longer available and my car that I haven't had even a year cant be fixed.

P16d0 code.
