Description of the problem | 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. |
