2014 Chevrolet Malibu

VEHICLE HAS HAD FAILED OIL ARM ROCKER VALVE (PART# 12633613) SINCE OCTOBER 2019. GM HAS ADVISED THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS PART WILL BE AVAILABLE, AND HAS NO OTHER RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE EXCEPT TO WAIT AND THAT THEY ARE SORRY FOR INCONVENIENCE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED MEANS IT WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS TESTING IN CT (OR STATE INSPECTIONS IN A LOT OF OTHER STATES).

THIS CAR HAS THE AUTO STOP FEATURE WHICH CANNOT BE DISABLED. WHEN I'M STOPPED AND THE AUTO STOP ENGAGES, THE CAR WILL NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY RESTART. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK, WAIT UP TO A MINUTE OR TWO, SOMETIMES MORE AND THEN IT WILL START. HAVE TALKED TO CHEVY DEALER SERVICE, GOT NO HELP. WENT TO 3 INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS, RAN CODES BUT NOTHING SHOWED UP. ONE TIME I DID GET A CHECK BATTERY CHARGE SYSTEM WARNING. BATTERY IS FAIRLY NEW AND CHECKS OUT FINE. A CODE CAME UP TO REPLACE THE VALVE TIMING SOLENOID WHICH WE DID BUT STILL THIS AUTOSTOP PROBLEM PERSISTS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I COULD GET REAR ENDED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I GET TEMPORARILY STRANDED AT INTERSECTIONS AND PEOPLE BEHIND ME ARE NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTANDING. . CALLED GM HEADQUARTERS TODAY- WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I CALLED A CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT COULD BE WRONG. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING IT IN TO SHOPS AND GET NO ANSWERS. ONE SHOP SAID THEY'VE SEEN SEVERAL CARS WITH THIS ISSUE, THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT STALLS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
