Chevrolet Impala Electrical System Safety Report | Oct 23, 2013
Reported on Oct 23, 2013
| BATTERY LEAKED DOWN THE FRAME AND WAS EATING THE 2 TRANY COOLER ALUMINUM LINES. AUTONATION CHEVROLET SUPERSTITION SPRINGS IN MESA, AZ PUT A NEW BATTERY AND 2 NEW TRANY COOLER LINES ON, BUT AFTER THE 4TH ATTEMPT CAN NOT GET ALL OF THE ACID CLEANED UP. ENGINE CRADLE STILL HAS NO PAINT IN SPOTS AND ACID STILL SHOWING ON SPOTS. AFTER A DAY OF RAIN. WENT OUT TO THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AND WHEN I OPENED UP THE DRIVERS DOOR THERE WAS A VERY BAD ODOR. ALMOST WANTED TO THROW UP. AFTER LOOKING ALL OVER THE CAR FOUND 2 OF WATER WERE THE SPARE TIRE IS AND ALL OF THE CARPET WET IN THE TRUNK. TOOK IT TO AUTONATION CHEVROLET SUPERSTITION SPRINGS IN MESA, AZ. THEY HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEY DETERMINED I DID NOT HAVE THE TRUNK CLOSED ALL THE WAY. THIS TRUNK WILL NOT STAY DOWN. WHAT I MEAN IS THE SPRING IS SO GOOD IT'S ETHER CLOSED ALL THE WAY OR OPEN ALL THE WAY. AFTER THAT AND SOME RESEARCH I FOUND GM HAS PUT OUT A #PI1133 TRUNK WATER LEAK. THE SEAL AROUND THE REAR TAIL LIGHT LEAKS WATER INTO THE TRUNK. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAD TO TELL THEM IT WAS NOT ME LEAVING THE TRUNK OPENED. | |
