Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Chevrolet Impala - part 1

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.

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.

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.

I waited for recall parts (ignition and oil leak) and had them completed 4/13/16. On 4/22/16 my car started smoking coming off the freeway, I pulled over and the engine stalled, people yelled to get out it was on fire. The fire started in front of engine and proceeded thru engine compartment burning all plastics and wiring. Dealership says I'm responsible for the damage since I didn't have full insurance coverage. How can that be, my car was fine until they worked on it. Dealership was also very rude and condescending. I hope all Chevrolet dealers aren't the same. I gave dealership 7 days to resolve the problem, however they basically told me no one can help me. I almost burned up in this vehicle.

Oil leak.

Shortly after purchasing the vehicle I noticed that when opening the driver's side or any other doors dic (driver's info center) stays lit and radio stays on for 15 minutes. Was told it may be the bcm (body control module). Also checked vehicle's oil and all was fine then 2 weeks later check engine light comes on and dipstick shows no oil. No leaks anywhere on driveway nor under carriage. Steering wheel squeals when turning yet all fluids are topped off. Is this vehicle a lemon?.

I was on highway one evening and my cruise control was engaged. My power went out completely on the car. I immediately noticed that the car shut down and I was able to coast to the side of the highway. After gathering my bearings, I was able to turn the car back on and drive off the freeway. It was determined that my oil was low (no warning light). Prior to this incident, I was going down hill on a local street when my warning system came on and indicated that I had reduced engine power and traction stability control issues. After going to the dealer, it was determined that my oil was extremely low, however no leaks or cause was ever found. Prior to this, I had to get my accelerator sensor replaced because the reduced engine power warning came on. It was not covered under warranty and I had to pay several hundred dollars to 'fix' the issue. As recently as yesterday, June 16, 2014, I turned my car on and the reduced engine power and traction control warning came on. I immediately turned the car off and checked the oil. It was low but no warning light to indicate this issue came on (same as in the past). I faithfully get my oil changed every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever is first. My oil life was at 54% yesterday and I did take it in for an oil change this morning. It is obvious based on others experiences, that this is a known issue amongst 2009 Impala owners. The fact that I did not receive a warning when I was on a major highway and my car shut off while still in motion, is extremely scary and it traumatized my son tremendously. I am hoping that some type of investigation will be initiated because it could result in serious injuries or even death.

I have a 2007 chevy Impala lt I bought it used with 30,000 miles on it. In between oil changes the oil warning comes on telling me to add more oil. I've taken it to the dealership and to other mechanics and cannot figure out what is wrong. They have checked for leaks and there are none. They said maybe the engine is burning it off but they don't smell it. Nobody can tell me what is wrong, so in between oil changes I have to put 1-2 quarts of oil in it. I change my oil every 6,000 miles.
