1 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 12/07/2020

Brought my car in for routine oil change. Informed dealership of loud exhaust sound. Asked if they could check fo an exhaust leak. Upon picking up my vehicle I was informed the loud exhaust was due to a crack in the catalytic converter. I asked what would cause this to happen. They were unsure of cause it is not a normal issue for the mileage and age of vehicle. They did provide me with a quote to repair. I took my car to a different repair shop and they were concerned that this part was faulty from the manufacturer. They informed me that a recall could be possible and advised me to contact gm.

2 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 03/04/2019

Starting in March 2019 the 2017 chevy Impala engine would stop and wouldn't start back up for at least 30 minutes. It would happen when I stop at a stop sign or light or whenever I stop the vehicle. Then in July of 2019 the vehicle stopped in the middle of the street. It wouldn't reverse or go forward. It was identified as a transmission leak. All the transmission oil had leaked out. Took the vehicle to several repair shops which they couldn't identify the problem. My transmission is damaged by now. A 2017 chevy Impala should not have transmission problems unless there is some type of defect.
