In sept of 2019, my check engine light came on for my 2015 chevy malibu. i took it to the dealership and it ran the code p2646, and the they told me that i needed the gm part 12633613. they attempted to order it, but said it was on backorder and had been for a while and they would look into it for me. here it is, feb of 2020 and still no part. gm that the part has been discontinued and there is no eta for a new part. they told me it was okay to drive, but it has a rough idle, power surges, it can barely accelerate and it has stalled on me several times. they keep telling me oh it's a "part delay". no, it's not ! you don't make the part anymore. there are thousands of people who have the 2014-2015 malibu's & impala's with the same issue. they need to issue a recall and fix these cars. my car is less than 5 years old & there is no reason that they shouldn't have a very simple, $60 part for it.
Sept 2019 the check engine light came on in my 2015 chevrolet malibu. dealer determined part# 12633613, rocker arm control valve, is the source of the check engine light and needs to be replaced. i can not get the part thru dealer or aftermarket. i am in contact with the dealer on a weekly basis and there is no eta on obtaining the part. i filed a case with chevrolet also and they also have no eta. every two days a chevy rep calls me to tell me there is no updated information. this part affects malibu's & impala's and if you look online there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people that need the same part. there are even online forums dedicated to this particular part problem. obviously there is a problem with the design of the part for this many people looking for replacements. this is a defective part and chevrolet apparently is not doing anything to fix it.
Takata recall the transmission in the 2015 chevy malibu jerks at low speeds and at high speeds it holds the gear when slowing down
Started car and reduced power engine warning came on for the second time. i had it fixed once already and it just came on. i am very disappointed with chevy. i was driving it the first time my light came on. the second time i just started my car. i was on a city street first time and city street second time. both times my car wouldn't accelerate passed 12 miles per hour so i was a roll hazard.
