"Rebuilt no further her problems"

Anonymous, GA (2014 Chevrolet Impala LTZ 3.6-L V6)

"We were having various issues with the traction control and anti-skid systems, and were not sure what the problems were. There were OBDII codes being produced, but they were for non-specific errors. After further diagnosis with both the transmission and timing issues, it was determined that the transmission had also been affected by the timing issue and needed to be replaced. All of the issues occurred over the period of about 12 months. Various sensors and other repairs were made, and would work for a short period of time, but those repairs were essentially only correcting the symptoms, not the underlying problem."

Sometimes the cause is obvious (like a small pothole or speed bump) sometimes there is no discernable cause. I don't drive this car much any more, but the problem does still occur according to the other driver."

Engine Major

Engine rebuild or replacement, cylinder head, head gasket, turbocharger or supercharger, timing chain or belt.

What Owners Say

Timing belt or chain

"Our car was having intermittent issues with the traction control, ABS, anti-skid, and other related systems, and was presenting various codes via the OBDII system. Several repairs were attempted and would work for a short period of time. After about 9-10 months the problems became almost constant, and the car would hesitate trying to move from a standing stop, there was vibration in the steering/suspension/braking systems, and we felt the car might be becoming unsafe to drive. We took it to our local mechanic who diagnosed the problem with the help of several technical bulletins from Chevrolet, and via a combination of multiple OBDII codes as multiple issues with the timing chain, timing gear, and related components within the timing system. The only corrective action available was to replace all of the timing system components - gears, chain, guides, etc. The car is currently in the shop having this work done."
