I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction regarding a recurring issue with my vehicle’s catalytic converter pipe. At 37,000 miles, the left-hand (front bank) catalytic converter pipe near the cylinder head mounting flange weld failed and was replaced under warranty by gm. Now, at just 88,000 miles, the same pipe has cracked again—at the identical location—and is not being covered by gm, forcing us to pay for repairs out of pocket. This is not simply a case of wear and tear. The failure not only resulted in significant performance issues, but also caused the housing of the fan to melt due to excessive heat exposure, posing a serious safety hazard. This repeated failure clearly indicates a design or manufacturing defect, and I’m appalled that gm has not acknowledged this as a broader issue—despite evidence suggesting this is a known and frequent problem with this vehicle model. In my view, the failure of the same part in the same location twice, within a relatively low mileage span, reflects an unacceptable lack of quality control. It is deeply disappointing that gm has not issued a recall or offered to cover this repair, which is demonstrably caused by the same flaw as before. This situation feels less like responsible customer support and more like an attempt to profit from known issues, leaving loyal customers to shoulder the financial burden. I am requesting immediate reassessment of this case, full coverage for this second repair, and a formal acknowledgment of this defect. I also encourage gm to investigate this issue further and consider issuing a recall to prevent others from experiencing similar damage and expenses.
2017 chevy Impala 3. 6l engine exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold / turbo charger. Resulting in exhaust fumes leaking driver/passenger area could cause fire and or damage to engine. Checking on the customer review and complaints page on the internet I have a lot of other complaints even to the point one persons wife developed lung cancer possible related to inhaling the exhaust according to her doctor. Who knows but I had a hard time getting my car to pass nc inspection because of the lake, please advise. As I am hard of hearing and didn't know I had this problem until the local nc inspection station pointed it out all I knew was I could smell it or something. Ps the email is that of my local mechanic, as I don't have one or how to even turn a computer on.
Upon after starting the car a noise was coming from front of engine. I took a video and saw fire coming from the front left catalytic converter between the flange and the converter. The converter separated itself from the flange. The car, a 2017 has only 50000 miles on it always garaged and no accidents luckily caught the converter problem before it completely blew itself off the flange and caused a fire.

My 2017 chevy Impala's, equipped with a 3. 6l v-6 engine, air conditioning evaporator is damaged and is leaking refrigerant and resulting in loss of air conditioning. This loss of air conditioning occurs all the time-stationary, in motion--the air conditioning no longer works at all.
