Summary

Warning message appeared after incident happened It read "Engine power is reduced". I was driving on the highway at 70 mph and the power in my car was reduced to almost nothing. I could not accelerate. The cars around me barely missed hitting me. I could have gotten hit and hurt or possibly killed along with the cars around me. It was extremely scary. I pulled over and took out my owner's manual and looked up the error message . It said you may drive the car however speed and acceleration would be reduced. I got off the highway and since I was close to home I drove the car at the reduced speed (as far to the edge of the road as I could get) to my home (2/5/22) I called my dealership to tell them what happened and they told me not to drive it and that if my insurance or roadside assistance would not cover the tow they would come and pick it up for me. My car was towed to my dealership and when I spoke to them and told them what happened, they didn't sound like it was a big deal. I asked if there was a recall on what happened to my car and they said no. They advised they would diagnose it first thing Monday morning (2/7) and would probably repair it the same day. I never received a call back that day and I tried to reach out three times and was not able to speak to anyone about it. In the meantime I had to pay for an Uber to get me to a location to pick up a rental car which I also had to pay for on my own. I feel that this was a very dangerous thing that happened to me while driving my car and just thinking of what could have happened is very upsetting. What happened is a big deal to me. My car is in the shop now and honestly I am upset and I'm not sure if I will feel safe when or if it is repaired. I also am concerned about the cost. On top of what I have already spent, I was advised that I would have to pay for the diagnosis and the repair since my car is out of warranty. I am not a mechanic by any means but it sounds like a manufacturer's defect to me.

Summary

I was Leaving Dayton, OH headed back home to Columbus and while driving down then Highway doing 75 mph…A message popped up on my dash saying “Engine Power Reduced”….car speed immediately dropped down to 30 and I had to hurry up and pull over before I was rear ended by the SUV behind me…I turned the car off and back on but the same message popped back up on the screen so I had to have the car towed back to Dayton. I drove the car to the Autozone around the corner (car drove like [XXX]!) they put it on a diagnostic and the code P2138 popped up…code has Something to do with the Throttle Pedal Position Sensor!!??…I'm currently waiting for my appointment at the Chevy Dealership to see about getting it fixed…Apparently this is a common issue amongst a plethora of GM vehicles and the fact that Chevy hasn’t done a recall on this issue is a [XXX] Joke!!! You all are going to get someone KILLED!! hell I could’ve lost my life had I not been such a reactive driver and in the speeding lane which allowed me to immediately pull over!!

Summary

2016 Malibu with 188K miles has shift to park error message when vehicle is in park. This car had the exact same issue at 90K miles and the entire gear shift had to be replaced. The car was under the extended warranty at the time and repairs were made. You have to restart the car and shift from park and back to park MULTIPLE TIMES until you don't get the error. You can't shut the engine totally off with this error. It happens 90% of the time and it typically takes 10-15 minutes to get the car in park so you can shut the car off. This failure shouldn't happen this often. This isn't the only issue that I'm having with the car at this time, I have submitted a complaint for that as well.

Summary

I was driving down the Freeway at 65 mph. The roads were wet and slick from snow and in heavy traffic. I got a check engine light and immediately a Engine Power Reduced light. I suddenly lost power and another vehicle behind me almost hit me. I was able to get to the side of the road and shut it off. After a few minutes, I started it back up and the light was still on. I needed to get off the freeway and find a way to work so I put on the emergency flashers and drove to the next exit. The light remained on but I had full power. I am trying to get an appointment to have it looked at.

This has not just happened to me but different people I’ve asked with Chevy Malibus. This problem needs to be fixed by General Motors at NO COST to the consumers. I can’t believe there’s no recall on this issue. Shame on them.

Summary

I was driving on a highway, when a message appeared on my control panel stating the engine power was reduced, my engine light turned on, and my car slowed significantly (top speed achievable at about 20 mph). With my hazard lights on, I managed to safely exit the highway and find a parking lot to park in while checking my driver’s manual. The manual mentioned that if the warning light persisted, the car should be checked by a mechanic. As this made it seem that there were instances where the warning message did go away, and thus the problem may also resolve, I turned off my car and turned it back on. The engine light on my control panel persisted but the engine power message was no longer present. Before reentering the highway, I attempted to reach speeds above 20 mph and was successful in doing so. As such, I cautiously finished my journey to work. As I felt it was unsafe to use my car before it was checked by a mechanic, I had my car towed to a mechanic’s shop where I was informed: “Found DTC P2138 accelerator pedal plausibility. Inspected the IP to body harness connector for water intrusion or corrosion and found none at this time. Suggest replacing the accelerator pedal assembly and recheck for proper operation.”

Summary

The morning I started my trip. My back up camera stayed on. I stopped turned the car off and back on. It was still on. Turned it off again. This time the camera went off. I was going up the cajon pass. No warning light or anything. Was coming up to my exit. Tried to slow down to exit. Couldn't press my brakes. They were rock hard to press. Took my foot off gas. Slowed down enough to get to the shoulder of the road. Once I was able to stop. My brakes were hard to press they made a clunk noise. I noticed the check engine light was on. I could of been killed had someone been in front of me and stopped. Or I could of killed someone. This is not the first time these brakes have done this. They did it earlier this year I wasn't able to press my brakes as and when I was it made the same noise. I had it towed to dealer to be fixed. They said they fixed it. This could of killed me or someone else as I was traveling on the freeway at faster speeds than the streets

Summary

Second issue with brakes on 2016 Chevy Malibu. First issue fixed in September 2020 by replacing vacuum pump and sensor. The pump failed and pieces of the pump break off and fall into the engine. The exact same issue happened again June 2021. The brakes are very hard and a loud thumping noise was coming from under the hood when you pressed the brakes. It was very hard to stop the car. I knew it was the same issue from September 2020. The vacuum pump was removed and returned to the dealership where the I purchased it from in September 2020 when the original part failed. The part I returned in June 2021 was still under warranty. When I returned it and told them it failed the exact same way in 2020, the man in parts said "They PROBABLY won't warranty the part again since it failed twice. So there's probably something else wrong with your car" REALLY!!! I did notice that the part had been redesigned and the part that breaks off in the engine is no longer there. This proves Chevrolet knows this is an issue, but refuses to recall these vehicles. Thankfully I was on a country road, not driving fast when it failed this time. We live at the bottom of 2 hills, so I had to drive partially in the ditch to help the car slow down enough to safely pull into my driveway with no brakes.

Summary

Drove home from work and grocery shopping, killed the engine and noticed the fan was still running. Got back in the car and pressed to start the engine again. The engine stumbled to start but did start. I killed the engine again and everything went off (including the fan) as it should have. I decided to start the car again to see if it would repeat what happened. The car started, but no lights came on on the dashboard or radio. I had to press the start button again before any lights would come on. But the engine would die about 3 seconds after the lights came on. The light on the start button was green the entire time until I pressed it a third time. (I have video of this). After this the car wouldn't start at all. I left the car alone for the evening. The next morning I attempted to start the car and it wouldn't start at all, it was as if the battery was dead. I drove my daughter's car to work. The battery was purchased in early 2019 and was still under warranty, but the dealership wouldn't check the battery back unless it was in the car, which wouldn't start. I purchased a battery tester and the battery was dead. I recharged the battery and the car still stumbled to start but would eventually start after several tries. The car appears to drive ok, but won't start without charging the battery or getting a jump start. And once it starts, it's very hard to get it to start again immediately. This has been going on for 2 months now. I haven't been driving the car because I have an hour one way commute to work and can't chance the car giving me any issues. I periodically jump start the car and drive it for 5-10 miles. Yesterday, I jump started the car and when I killed the engine, the fan didn't go off again. It took about 6 tries to start the car again, once it started and I killed the engine the fan finally stopped. The check engine light has been on and off during these past 2 months with these current issues.

Summary

While I was pulling into a parking spot, my 2016 Chevrolet Malibu suddenly accelerated without any prior warning. The sudden unintended acceleration caused the vehicle to somehow jump the curb, hit a sign, and go airborne landing on two park cars which, resulted in damage to the front end and passenger side fender, front grill, left tire and other parts. The car was leaning to one side and I had to pry open the driver side door to get out. One of the other cars was totaled and the other had hood damage. It took two tow trucks to remove the car off of the other cars, it was towed to a repair shop and repaired by my insurance company but I no longer have possession of it. I was too terrified of it to keep it. It is still unknown what caused the vehicle to malfunction.

Summary

Car suddenly lost power slowing to 20mph on highway slowing to the point I was an obstacle in the lane so had to abruptly drive on to shoulder and out of traffic to prevent a collision from behind me as I had a close call. Car showed reduced engine power message. I wait until late at night when there was no traffic to drive the car home safely. The next day I had code read and it was a P2138. From what I have now learned online this is a wide spread problem that GM is very aware of.

Summary

I have a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu and while driving on the highway, my engine light came on and my speed decelerated from 65 mph to 40. I took my car for a diagnostic test and the results were Trouble Codes: P2138, U0401-71 and C0242-00. I have done my research and from what I have found so far, is that several people have made Youtube videos about these codes, complaints and complaints on this website as well, and it has come to my understanding, that if enough people complain that this can be a safety issue, then maybe the "POWERS THAT BE", will help with this issue and possibly resolve it. This is and can be dangerous for an individual to drive at the average speed on most U.S. highways, 65, and they decelerate without warning down to 40 mph. I'm not sure why anyone does not se the dangers in this situation, especially with other motorists on the road driving at speeds of up to 70 mph, sometimes 75 mph. If I have vehicles behind me driving 65 or more and my vehicle decides to decelerate because of a sensor failure, the vehicle behind me is not going to know that there is a problem and may not have enough time to react before causing an accident. I am adding my concern not only to many individuals who have reported the same or similar experience , but in hopes that this issue would gain more attention.

Summary

The first incident happen on 2/27/2019. I was existing the highway on highway 75 in Kennesaw, Georgia going north bound and coming off on Barrett Parkway. As I exited the highway my brakes was stuck and my brakes wouldn't press. I panicked because I was going at least 60 mph trying to slow down to get on the exit with semi trucks in the front and in the back, because I was a little skilled with cars I down shifted my car and stepped on my emergency brakes and ran the car off the road into the grass. I towed the car to my mechanic in Hiram, GA. (Donnie's Automotive) to have him work on the issue as I wasn't sure what was going on. I got my car back on 3/1/2019. Now the next incident happen on 8/16/21 my engine decreased and my car wouldn't accelerate more than 40 mph. Took it to my mechanic again and it was the throttle sensor. Now the most recent incident happen 6/12/21 where my brakes failed to pressed again and bc I was aware of this incident happening in 2019 I did the same thing and ran my car off the road. My kids were scared. Now all these issues have been a issue with Chevy and they even had a class action lawsuit against them for the throttle sensor issue. My car wasn't part of the recall but my car has suffered the same issues they've know about for years. I called Thornton Road chevy and they told me it's nothing they can do. I've also emailed the CEO and all others for CHEVY. I want chevy to repair my car before this car KILLS ME OR MY KIDS.

Summary

Okay so I’ve been getting this “engine power reduced” sign on my dash off and on for the past half year. I take it to the shops to get fix. They do some temporary fix and it’s good for a month or two then the problem persists. I’ve dodged very close attempts at death due to this. Driving on the highway or interstate (at respected speed) and then suddenly the car just slows down abruptly. Scared me half to death due to the fact that I’m on busy roadways. I’ve managed to get over on the shoulder or nearest exit without collision. One time is happened on a turnpike and I came like inches away from hitting the wall. For all of those times I was able to cut the engine off for a bit and then worked good enough to get home or to a shop. For this last time though was the worst. I was in the turning lane of busy intersection and the car like pulled as I was making the turn and then it just cut off. Causing cars to have to swerve around me which could’ve caused other incidents. I turned the car on and off many times but I still could not regain normal speed. It wouldn’t pass 18 then 27 and finally 36. I had to ride with the hazards on and what was supposed to be a 20 minute drive ended up being a 60 minute drive (after sitting in a parking lot for hours). I have lost one job due to the fact that I had to call off so many days. I have lost privileges at other jobs that effects how I’m able to provide for my family. So this is really hitting me hard. Most mechanics seem to know what the problem is but no one has actually fixed it directly. I hope GM does something about this please. This is my first and only car and I’m proud of it, but far as the performance. It’s a death trap. That’s why I don’t allow anyone to ride with me or drive it, because I just never know. I would rather be in the car when something bad happens than someone else. It’s feels like a stick shift/like a sticky clutch or something of that nature when I drive.I don’t know much about cars but that’s not right

Summary

When I go to shut the engine off it sometime still runs and after pressing the off button I have to go thru this off cycle many times before everything shuts down. The screen behind the steering wheel says to put it in "park" but it is already in "park". This could be a real safety problem because someone could drive the car into the garage, shut the door and not even know the engine is running!

Summary

When I go into park and turn off my car I get a “Shift to park” message. This happens numerous times a day. Sometimes the light turns off after a few minutes by itself. Most of the time I have to wiggle the shifter or turn the car back on and go from another gear such as drive to park. I have read that this is a common issue amongst this make and model.

Summary

My vehicle, a 2016 Chevy Malibu, has started receiving the *known* GM "Shift to Park" error message. This error message occurs when the vehicle is in park, but the driver information center (in the dashboard) alerts to "Shift to Park" before you can shut off the vehicle. If you try to exit the vehicle with the error message, all electronic systems (screen, lights, dash, etc) will stay on, draining down the car battery, putting me at risk of being stranded due to a known issue in my car and/or me having to leave my car running, putting my car at risk of being broken into, stolen, or worse. I have wasted countless hours already, in the very short time the error has occurred, having to shift out of park, reverse, drive, back into park, and keep trying over and over and over and over and over and over and over, until it finally might register. One evening, it took over two hours for this to work. This is a HUGE risk to me, especially in the city I live in, as a single woman. Furthermore, the fact that GM and NHTSA have a service bulletin on this, and it is a *known* issue in my year, make, and model, on top of the thousands and thousands of online forums reporting this same issue, tells me that this is much, much larger than anyone (especially GM) would like to admit, and that my car needs to be included in the recall for this.

Summary

Every month my car will randomly say engine power reduced and will go no higher than 30mph. Which has happened on the highway and is super dangerous! I have seen many reports of the same problem but nothing being done about it. I took it to the dealership I got it from and I paid $100 dollars for diagnostics and the mechanic said the car computer needed updated...alright, the next day the message came back up and car couldn’t go higher than 30. I haven’t had this car for a year, and the shocks have popping noises, and whenever I put the car in park a message will appear saying shift car to park. And I have to literally roughly giggle the lever for it to read it’s in park or my car won’t turn off. I truly love this car but it has to many issues that shouldn’t be happening.

WHILE STATIONARY, AND READY TO SHUT OFF CAR, GET A MESSAGE TO SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK BUT IT ALREADY IS IN PARK. CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF. HAVE TO KEEP MESSING WITH SHIFTER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE CAN FINALLY TURN CAR OFF. THIS HAPPENED CONSTANTLY. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CONTROL PROBLEM AND I HAD TO PAY $445.08 TO FIX. SUPPOSEDLY CHEVROLET RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM IN JULY 2019 BEFORE THIS STARTED HAPPENING TO ME AND ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (I THINK NO. 18-NA-297) BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL DONE. MY POINT IS, IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBILITY OF FIRE, IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IF THE CAR CANNOT BE TURNED OFF QUICKLY. SO WHY DIDN'T THIS PROBLEM DESERVE TO MERIT A RECALL AND FREE REPAIRS?

I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY HOOKED IT UP. IT READ A P2138 CODE. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS COULD'VE CAUSED A DEVISTATING CRASH. I FOUND WHERE GM EXTENDED THE WARRANTY AND THIS FIX SHOULD NOT COST ME ANYTHING - I WILL SEE WHEN I TAKE IT IN TOMORROW.

Summary

VEHICLE IS PLACED INTO THE PARK POSITION WHILE FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. ONCE DASH SHOWS THAT IT IS IN PARK, FOOT IS RELEASED FROM THE BRAKE AND ENGINE IS SHUTOFF. AT THIS TIME A MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE DASH CONSOLE "ACTION REQUIRED: SHIFT TO PARK". THIS OCCURS THE MOST OFTEN ON AN INCLINE UPON WHICH THE MESSAGE "SWITCH TO PARK" LEADS TO CONCERN OF THE ROLLING BACK OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED YOU ARE UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE BATTERY BEING DRAINED. THE ONLY RESOLUTION THAT I AM AWARE OF OTHER THAN GOING TO THE DEALER IS TO START THE CAR BACK UP (ENGINE WEAR, ADDITIONAL C02 EMISSIONS) AND ATTEMPT TO PLACE IT IN PARK AGAIN WITH THE HOPE THE MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY. IN PERFORMING RESEARCH THIS ISSUE IS DUE TO A POORLY MANUFACTURED MICROSWITCH WITHIN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY, THE PERMANENT FIX IS TO HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFT ASSEMBLY.

Summary

"SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" ALWAYS COMES BACK NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I'VE TAKEN IT TO A CHEVY DEALER! NO KNOWN FIX - STRAIGHT FROM GM THERE ISN'T ANY KNOWN FIX. THEY THOUGHT IT'S WHEN YOU USE REMOTE START ... WELL I DIDN'T USE THE REMOTE START AFTER CHEVY "REPROGRAMMED" THE CAR AND THE MESSAGE CAME BACK AND I CANNOT USE THE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM PLUS WHY HAVE A FEATURE THAT CANNOT BE USED. CAR IS BELOW 50,000 MILES AND VERY LIGHTLY DRIVEN - THE AVERAGE SPEED ACCORDING TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER IS 38 MPH. ALSO SERVICE TRANSMISSION COMES UP WITH SOME SOLENOID TROUBLE CODE AND DISPLAYS "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AT FIRST INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOW EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. IT BANGS INTO WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1 TO 2 WHEN DRIVEN. THE BODY PANEL ON THE DOOR BETWEEN THE DOORS IS FLAKING. I'VE GOTTEN A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY IN PARK WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY.

Summary

WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED IN PARK, GET "PLACE IN PARK" MESSAGE ON DASH. IF NOT CLEARED, DASH LIGHTS STAY ON AND DRAIN BATTERY LEAVING DRIVER STRANDED. THIS COULD LEAD TO A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION, DEPENDING ON WHERE THIS OCCURS. DOING A SEARCH OF THE FIRST 70 CLAIMS ON YOUR SITE; 30% OF THEM ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY THIS UNSAFE CONDITION? CLAIM #'S LOOKED AT: 11385598, 113384695, 11377868, 11377077,11373245, 11372867, 11367012, 11365172, 11363789. 11363275, 11361450, 11360384, 11360062, 11355051, 11353844, 11352179, 11351612, 11351422, 11350951, 11349692, 11348857. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN # 19-NA-206 BY GM (SEE ATTACHMENT) ON THIS ISSUE, BUT IT DOES NOT COVER THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT EFFECTS SEVERAL YEARS AND MAKES. THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OR QC PROBLEM, NOT SOMETHING INDUCED BY THE OPERATOR. THOUGH NO DEATHS OR INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY THIS PROBLEM, ONE COULD SPECULATE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME OR COULD BE. USUALLY THE QUESTION OF YOUR BATTERY BEING DEAD IS NOT ASKED AT THE DEATH OR INJURY SITE. THIS ISSUE CAN NOT ALWAYS BE DUPLICATED AT THE DEALERSHIP, SO IS OFTEN TURNED AWAY. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WILL DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES AND THAN STOP FOR AWHILE, THAN ACT UP AGAIN. EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN TAKEN IN TO BE LOOKED AT, THERE ARE NO CODES, AND THE SYMPTOM CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED. DRIVE IT HOME AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, OR NOT. LAST TIME IT TOOK TWENTY MINUTES OF TURNING CAR ON AND OFF, SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF PARK, ETC TO GET CAR TO SENSE IT WAS INDEED IN PARK. I AM SUBMITTING THIS REPORT FOR A FRIEND BUT WOULD LIKE ALL FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION TO PASS ONTO HIM.

MOST TIMES, WHEN I'M DONE DRIVING AND SHIFT MY CAR TO PARK A WARNING COMES UP MY DASH SAYING 'SHIFT TO PARK' EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. I THEN HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR, CHANGE THE GEARS AND HOPE IT DOESN'T GIVE ME THAT MESSAGE AGAIN. I OFTEN HAVE TO REPEAT THIS PROCESS 2-3 TIMES AFTER I'M DONE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO PARK AND SHUT OFF MY CAR. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THAT I SHIFT MY CAR TO PARK AND TRY AND SHUT MY CAR OFF, BUT IT HAPPENS A LOT OF THE TIME. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING AND TIME CONSUMING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW. MY SISTER ALSO HAS A 2016 MALIBU AND HERS IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING.

Summary

BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2020, EVERY TIME I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR BRAKE (WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC) THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. I WOULD GET A WARNING THAT THE CAR WAS IN BATTERY SAVE MODE AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE MORNING OF JAN. 12, 2021, IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 322. I BLOCKED RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPING NOTHING ON THE CAR WORKED. IT BLOW OUT COOL AIR AND THE RADIO AND WINDOWS DIDN'T WORK. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. NOT JUST FOR ME AND MY FAMILY BUT OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I DID TAKE THE CAR TO BE SERVICED UNFORTUNATELY, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. INSTEAD OF RESTING ON THE BREAK IN TRAFFIC, WE PUT THE CAR IN PARK. YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT CAN BE PROBLEMATIC. IN ADDITION TO THAT, NOW IT SOUND LIKE SOME SORT OF LIQUID IS PASSING THROUGH WHEN I COME TO A STOP/PARK. FAST FORWARD TO WHAT HAS LEAD ME TO FILING A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT, THIS EVENING MY SON WAS DRIVING ON US 22 WHEN HE CALLED ME IN A PANIC BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING A WARNING DISPLAYED ON THE DASH ENGIN POWER REDUCED, TRACTION LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE SPEED REDUCED TO ABOUT 20 AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TOLD HIM TO PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULL OVER02 AS SOON AS IT WAS SAFE. HE DID AS I SAID AS I WAITED ON THE PHONE WITH HIM. HE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT REST FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THE CAR STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE TRACTION LIGHT WENT OFF BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. HE MADE IT HOME WITHOUT ANY MORE INCIDENTS. AS I STATED ABOVE YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I AM LEARNING THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A CHEVY MALIBU (2016 64,763 MILES) WITH SAFETY ISSUES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HOPE THAT NO ONE HAS TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE ACTION IS TAKING. THEY NEED TO RECALL AND GIVE A REFUND.

Summary

I NOTICED AN OIL LEAK IN MY GARAGE AND DRIVE WAY FROM MY VEHICLE WHICH IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE MANUFACTURER'S DEALERSHIP AND AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THEIR CONCLUSION FOR THE CAUSE OF THE OIL LEAK IS FROM A HEAD GASKET AND UPPER OIL PAN GASKET LEAK. THIS VEHICLE IS 4.5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 78,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD HAVE NOT PRESENTED AN ISSUE LIKE THIS EARLY IN ITS LIFE EXPECTANCY. THE LEAKING HEAD AND UPPER OIL PAN GASKETS CAUSES ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS OF OIL NOT BEING DISPOSED OF PROPERLY THAT COULD AFFECT OUR WILDLIFE AND FOOD SUPPLY. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THERE ARE NO OTHER SIGNS OF THIS FAILURE THUS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AND COMMUTERS ALONG SIDE THE VEHICLE.

TOOK CAR TO PORTER CHEVROLET IN NEWARK, DE ON 1/20/21 FOR CALIPER REPLACEMENT AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER DUE TO MANY CARS BEING AFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE. I HAD PART ORDERED AND PICKED UP MY CAR UNTIL THE CALIPER COMES IN. WILL BRING CAR BACK TO PORTER WHEN PART COMES IN FOR REPLACEMENT AND HOPEFULLY RECALL CREDIT IN NEAR FUTURE. DO NOT LET DEALERSHIPS/ REPAIR SHOPS TELL YOU THAT IT IS THE REAR SHOCK! IT IS THE BRAKE CALIPER THAT IS MAKING THE POPPING NOISE.

Summary

DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN MY CAR GOT A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAYING 'REDUCED ENGINE SPEED' . I WENT FROM 60MPH TO 10MPS WITHIN SECONDS, THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING. ONCE IT SLOWS COMPLETELY DOWN IT STOPS AND I HAVE TO TURN OFF MY CAR AND RESTART IT JUST FOR IT KEEP HAPPENING. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME 'EVERYONE WITH A MALIBU IS HAVING THESE PROBLEM LAST AND THEY CAN NO FIX IT CAUSE THE CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME WITH ALL THE MALIBU'S HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I WENT TO A ANOTHER CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE EXACT SAME THING. CHEVY WANT US TO ENJOY THE CAR BUT WILL NOT GO THE EXTRA MILE TO DO RECALLS ON THEM WHEN THEY KNOW IT'S A BIG PROBLEM. MY CAR ALSO BE STUCK IN 'SHIFT TO PARK' WHEN IT'S ALREADY IN PARK, I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY RESTART MY CAR AND TURN IT OFF FOR THE MESSAGE TO GO ALWAYS AND MY CAR IS OFF, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE IF YOU LEAVE YOUR CAR IN SHIFT TO PARK THAT WILL COMPLETELY KILL YOUR BATTERY. ALSO, WHEN I START MY CAR IT SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF WATER JUST MOVING AROUND BUT IT'S NOTHING LEAKING BUT YOU CAN HEAR THE WATER ONCE YOU START THE CAR. THE BRAKES ON THE CAR DO NOT LAST LONG ENOUGH! I WENT TO GET SOME BRAND NEW BRAKES IN OCTOBER AND WAS TOLD FROM TWO DIFFERENT CAR SHOPS THAT I NEED NEW BRAKES . THESE PROBLEMS IS RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS AND COULD BE FIXED BY RECALLING THE CARS AND FIXING THE PROBLEMS .

SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK MY CAR WILL SUDDENLY GO INTO "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" MODE AND GO INTO LOW SPEED. IF I GET OUT OF THE CAR, LOCK IT, AND UNLOCK IT 30 SECONDS LATER IT WILL RESET AND THEN BE OKAY FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS POWER REDUCTION IS EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS WHEN MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SUDDENLY NEEDING TO PULL OVER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON BUT THEN DISAPPEAR SOMETIMES THE SAME DAY AFTER HAVING PARKED FOR A WHILE. TYPICALLY THE CAR GOES INTO THIS "REDUCED POWER MODE" AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODES: P1101 (INTAKE AIR FLOW SYSTEM PERFORMANCE), P2122 (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR D CIRCUIT LOW INPUT), AND P2138 (THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH D/E VOLTAGE CORRELATION).

I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HAVE SEEN 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS WARNING REDUCES THE CAR SPEED CONSIDERABLY AND THEREFORE SLOW THE CAR NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ONE OF MY INTAKE VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE. I HAD IT REPLACED AND PAID FOR THE SERVICE. I LEFT AND THE SAME DAY THE WARNING CAME BACK AGAIN AND SLOWED THE CAR. THE SPEED CAN GO FROM 60MPH TO LESS THAN 10MPH IN FEW SECONDS. STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AGAIN DOESN'T HELP THE CAR INCREASE SPEED. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND MANY OTHER DRIVERS HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSED IT AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVE NOT DETECTED THE CAUSE OF THE WARNING 'ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED'. THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND ARE ASKING ME TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. I THINK THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

I WAS WORRIED THAT I WOULD BREAKDOWN AND COULDN'T GET HOME. I DID MAKE IT HOME AND WAS SHAKEN BY THE EXPERIENCE. I HAVE A 2016 CHEVY MALIBU AND THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED $350 TO FIX IT. IT IS STILL THERE AS DIDN'T HAVE FUNDS TO FIX IT. DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS AN ISSUE WITH GAS PEDAL NOT READING IN SYSTEM CORRECTLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH, AND IT DROPPED SPEED TO 35 MPH! THIS IS SO DANGEROUS! ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AT NIGHT IN A SECLUDED AREA. THIS IS SUPER SCARY FOR A WOMAN DRIVER THINKING I WAS GOING TO BREAKDOWN AT ANY MOMENT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING UBER SINCE COVID AND NO WORK AVAILABLE IN MY REGULAR JOB. SINCE I DON'T HAVE MY CAR, I CAN'T DRIVE TO MAKE ANY MONEY TO FIX IT. I WAS UNABLE TO WORK ON UBER'S BIGGEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR ON NEW YEAR'S EVE, LOSING OUT OF A $500 NIGHT.

Summary

OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY ON TWO OCCASIONS. EACH TIME THE ENTIRE CHARGING SYSTEM WAS CHECKED WITH NO FAULTS IDENTIFIED. RECENTLY, LAST 3 MONTHS, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM ACCELERATING FROM A STOP TO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN VEHICLE STALLS ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED; ESPECIALLY HAZARDOUS WHEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ON OTHER OCCASIONS ALL ACCESSORIES AC, RADIO, WIPER BLADES, ETC WILL ALL TURN OFF AND NOT RESTART UNTIL THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ANOTHER FREQUENTLY REOCCURRING ISSUE IS THE SOUND YOU NORMALLY HEAR WHEN A TURN SIGNAL IS ENGAGED WILL STOP - THIS USUALLY PRECEDES THE ENGINE STALLING. ON MOST OF THESE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE WILL RESTART - TWICE IT REQUIRED A JUMP START. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WE RECEIVE VARIOUS FAULT LIGHTS/MESSAGES THAT TOO WERE UNFOUNDED. MOST FREQUENT REFERENCING THE STABILITY TRACKING. RESTART THE ENGINE AND FAULT IS CLEARED ONLY TO RETURN AT LATER TIME. ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND PLACES MY FAMILY AND I IN DANGER EACH TIME WE OPERATE THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS WRITE UPS DETAILING THIS SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE YEARS OF THE CHEVY MALIBU GMC AND CHEVY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEMS AND CONTINUE TO LEVY CHARGES AND COLLECT MONIES FROM OWNERS FOR WHAT PROBABLY SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL IN ORDER TO AFFECT REQUISITE REPAIRS.

WHEN PLACING MY VEHICLE INTO THE PARK POSITION AND TRYING TO TURN MY ENGINE OFF A MESSAGE STATES TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO THE PARK POSITION BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. THE CAR STAYS ON UNTIL IT GOES OFF BY DEFAULT WHICH CAUSES A DRAW ON THE BATTERY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I AM TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.

Summary

I GET ROUTINE SERVICE TO MY CAR & MY ENGINE IS CLICKING, LOUDLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY GOES ON & OFF & I WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY COULD NOT EVEN RUN A DIAGNOSTICS TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. SOMETIMES 'SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM' WILL ILLUMINATE BUT IT TOO PICKS AND CHOOSES WHEN TO ILLUMINATE. SOMETIMES IT SHOWS 'BATTERY SAVER ACTIVATED' AND THIS IS THE THIRD BATTERY I'VE PURCHASED! THE ENTIRE CAR WILL STALL/SHUT OFF BUT THE GREEN LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED TO SHOW THE CAR IS ON BUT WHEN I ACCELERATE IT WON'T BUDGE! DANGEROUS CONSIDERING MY CAR COULD STALL AT ANYTIME AND CAUSE A COLLISION. I'VE NEARLY GOTTEN T-BONED TWICE COMING OUT A GAS STATION ENTERING A ROAD BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE TRAFFIC WAS COMING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS! A SERVICE MAN AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP ASKED ME WAS I EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY AUTO START/STOP WHEN I TOLD HIM WHAT WAS HAPPENING. YES! MY CAR PICKS AND CHOOSES WHEN IT WANTS TO DO IT. AND WHEN IT DOES 'RESTART' THE ENTIRE CAR REBOOTS, THE LOCKS RE-CLICK, LIGHTS FLICKER, IT'LL BE IN DRIVE AND ROLL BACKWARDS UNTIL THE IGNITION TURNS OVER! CHEVY OR AT LEAST THE SERVICE TECHS ARE FULLY AWARE OF AN ISSUE AND WON'T FIX IT. SOMETIMES THE CAR JUST WON'T START, ALL THE POWER WILL GO OUT. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I'M OUT & THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ENGINE WON'T START AFTER AT LEAST STARTING 20 MINUTES PRIOR! I'VE ALREADY GOT NEW PISTONS, A NEW ALTERNATOR, 3 NEW BATTERIES & GET THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE A MYCHEVY ACCOUNT & EVERY MONTH MY DIAGNOSTICS REPORT, SHOWS AN ISSUE! IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT & MY CHILD OR I ARE INJURED, WHO IS LIABLE BECAUSE MY CAR DECIDES TO MALFUNCTION IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY? CHEVROLET FOR NEGLECTING TO SERVICE MY CAR BECAUSE THE FREAKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISN'T ON!

I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM ON MY 2016 MALIBU LS WHEN GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH. I'M NOT SURE WHEN EXACTLY THE ISSUE HAPPENED, BUT ACCORDING TO THE BODY SHOP IT APPEARS TO BE FAULTY DESIGNING. THE WATER AND CHEMICALS WERE LEAKING AT THE REAR WINDOW. HEAVY RAINS WOULD ALSO RESULT IN THE CAR LEAKING NON-STOP. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THE FOUND THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOT SECURED FULLY AND WATER WAS SPILLING THROUGH THERE. APPARENTLY IT WAS LOSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT DIDN'T TAKE MUCH TO TAKE THE LIGHT OUT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR OTHER YEARS BUT MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IF THE PROBLEM EXISTED WITH MY CAR I'M SURE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WATER WAS ALSO GETTING INTO THE TRUNK AND NOW I HAVE A HUGE MOLD/MILDEW PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY, THEY FIRST THOUGHT THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE SIDE PANEL WINDOWS AS THE ADHESIVE TO PUT THOSE WINDOWS IN WAS FAULTY.

NOW IT IS HAPPENING EVERY TIME I TURN THE CAR OFF.

MY MALIBU ONLY HAS 34K MILES ON IT AND IS METICULOUSLY CARED FOR. ON AUGUST 10TH, I WENT TO START IT. IT WOULD NOT START OR TURN ON THE LIGHTS. SO I TRICKLE CHARGED IT AND 4 HOURS LATER WHEN IT FINALLY TURNED ON I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED. THE BATTERY IS FINE. HOWEVER, THE STABILITRAC IS NOT COMING BACK ON ALONG WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL AND LANE ASSIST. THE BACK UP CAMERA, BACK UP CAMERA LINES, CRASH AVERSION SENSORS, AND SCREEN WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE 10TH OF AUGUST AFTER THE CAR CAME BACK ON. THE SREEN HAS HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST AS WELL WITH NOT TURNING ON ALONG WITH SHOWING THE PROPER TIME, TEMPERATURE, AND MORE.

Summary

I HAVE NOTICED A POPPING NOISE ON THE BACK END OF MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I WENT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR. I WENT ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES BY THE TIME THEY COULD HEAR WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IN JUNE 2020 THEY INSTALLED WASHERS TO PREVENT CONTACT FROM THE STRUT. THAT DID NOT WORK. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS STILL MAKING THAT SOUND. IT SEEMS TO BE LOUDER WHEN DRIVING SLOW OR WHEN IT HEATS UP OUTSIDE LATER ON IN THE DAY. IT ALSO MAKES THAT POPPING NOISE WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF BRAKE AT A STOP LIGHT BEFORE I ACCELERATE. IT MAKES THE POPPING NOISE SOMETIMES WHEN I SIT DOWN IN THE CAR. ONE DAY I WAS BOUNCING IN THE DRIVER SEAT TO SEE IF I COULD DUPLICATE THE SOUND AND IT WAS POPPING LOUDLY.

WITHIN APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS OF PURCHASING THE CAR I EXPERIENCED SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BUT IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING IT SO THEY SENT THE CAR HOME. AROUND A YEAR OR SO LATER I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM OF A RECALL FOR ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. IT SAID ONLY TO TAKE THE CAR IF I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS, WHICH I WAS NOT AT THE TIME. RECENTLY I EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AGAIN AND TOOK THE CAR IN. THEY SENT ME HOME AGAIN SAYING TO BRING IT BACK IF THE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING LACK OF POWER. I CANNOT FIND THE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED BUT WANT MY CAR FIXED. ALTHOUGH THIS ONLY HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY, IF IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY OR ON A HILLY ROAD THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN APRIL OF 2019. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THE SAME REASONS. THE FIRST ISSUE IS THAT WHENEVER THE CAR ACCELERATES FROM A STOPPED POSITION, AND WHENEVER SOMEONE IS IN THE BACKSEAT, THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE REAR OF THE CAR. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE NOISE THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, AND ALL THREE TIMES I WAS TOLD THEY DROVE THE VEHICLE (WITH PEOPLE IN THE BACK) AND COULDN'T "REPRODUCE" THE NOISE. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD THE GEARSHIFT CHANGED OUT TWICE WITHIN 8 MONTHS, BECAUSE THE CAR KEPT SAYING THAT THE VEHICLE WASN'T IN PARK AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF, EVEN THOSE IT WAS IN PARK. THE NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK IS DEFINITELY THERE, AND BASED UPON WHAT I HAVE READ, IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER MALIBU OWNERS AS WELL

IT'S AMAZING ME READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND GM HASN'T ISSUES A RECALL. HOWEVER, I PURCHASED A 2016 CHEVY MALIBU USED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WITHIN THE YEAR, I'VE HAD MY ACCELERATION PEDAL BE FAULTY, MY CAR SPEED WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE FROM 60-70MPH TO 20-25MPH WHICH AS I'M SURE EVERYONE KNOWS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THEN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT THIS TIME IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. NOW NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS LATER, MY STOP/START IS MALFUNCTIONING. IF I BRAKE AND THE CAR TURNS OFF, MY 'START' FUNCTION DOES NOT START! I HAVE TO SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK, TURN THE CAR ON, THEN SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE. ALL OF WHICH IS DANGEROUS! OBVIOUSLY, THESE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT BEING READ OR ARE NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUS BECAUSE I JUST READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS. ON TOP OF IT ALL, BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR I PAID FOR! AND NONE OF THESE ISSUES ARE NOT MY DOING YET I'M THE ONE IN THE DEALERSHIP PAYING FOR IT. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE A 2016 CHEVY MALIBU. WE BOUGHT IT BACK IN 2016 BRAND NEW. SINCE THEN, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US MULTIPLE TIMES. WE'LL BE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST PACED TRAFFIC THE CAR SUDDENLY WON'T GO ABOVE 30MPH. IT'S VERY SCARY. THE THIRD TIME IT WAS WINTER AND I HAD ALL MY YOUNGER SIBLINGS IN THE CAR, AND I WAS PREGNANT (ALL UNDER THE AGE OF 13) AND WE WERE ON I-94 AND IT SUDDENLY WOULDN'T GO OVER 30MPH AGAIN LEAVING US TEMPORARILY STRANDED UNTIL A FAMILY MEMBER HAD TO COME PICK US ALL UP. WE BROUGHT IT IN AND PAID ABOUT $500 OUT OF POCKET DUE TO THROTTLE SENSORY ISSUES. NOW I AM CURRENTLY STUCK AT HOME TODAY (5/6/2020) ONCE AGAIN BECAUSE IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN EVEN THOUGH WE GOT THE ISSUE FIXED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. YESTERDAY I WAS ON A COUNTY ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY WITH MY INFANT/BABY IN THE CAR AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND IT SAID 'ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED' AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 30MPH. IT TOOK ME AN HOUR TO GET TO AN 'AUTOZONE' SHOP AT THIS CRAWLING SPEED WITH MY FLASHERS ON (AND A RESTLESS SCREAMING BABY) TO HAVE THEM READ THE ENGINE CODE.. SURE ENOUGH THEY TOLD ME IT IS A THROTTLE SENSOR ISSUE. THIS IS EXHAUSTING AND DANGEROUS! *TR

I ALREADY REPLACED THE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR ONCE AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS IT DID IT AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT GAVE A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD THAT READ 'ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED'. IT SLOWED ME TO 44 MPH & WAS STUCK AT 3000 RPM. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF THE FREEWAY BUT I AM SERIOUSLY WORRIED ABOUT MY OWN SAFETY & THE SAFETY OF OTHER VEHICLES IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. LIKE I MENTIONED, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED/REPLACED ONCE & NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN.

Summary

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2017 AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY PEDAL SENSOR NOW WHAT WILL BE 3 TIMES. EVERY TIME I HAD THE PEDAL SENSOR REPLACED IT WAS DUE TO A MESSAGE 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' THAT WOULD COME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER VERY QUICKLY WHETHER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR MAIN STREETS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. SOMETIMES THE MESSAGE WOULD CLEAR OUT, BUT NOT TOO MUCH LONGER WHILE DRIVING, THE MESSAGE WOULD POP BACK UP AND I WOULD LOSE POWER AGAIN. EACH TIME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART, IT WAS NEVER COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THIS DEFECT IS BEYOND DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE HARM NOT JUST TO THE DRIVER, BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. THE CAR'S ENGINE POWER REDUCES TO 20-25MPH FROM 60-70MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ME CAUSE TO BE REAR ENDED.

Summary

THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM REAR OF 2016-2018 CHEVY MALIBU OF ALL TRIM TYPES, PARTICULARLY AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN ONE SIDE OF REAR OF VEHICLE GOES OVER SMALL BUMPS. GM PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN RECOMMENDING THAT DEALERSHIPS AND SERVICE TECHNICIANS ADD A WASHER TO TOP OF BOTH REAR SHOCKS AND POSSIBLY REPLACE REAR SUSPENSION KNUCKLES. MANY DEALERSHIPS GIVE CUSTOMERS 'THE RUNAROUND', REQUIRING THEM TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND REPAIRS, PERFORMING OTHER REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS THAT DO NO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND TELLING CUSTOMERS TO JUST DEAL WITH IT. THIS REAR KNUCKLE PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER, CAUSING DELAYS OF APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS FOR THE SAFE AND TIMELY REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE. WITHOUT THESE WASHERS ON THE REAR SHOCKS, THE TOP OF THE SHOCK MAKES PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE STRUT MOUNT, CAUSING THE SUSPENSION KNUCKLE TO FAIL, WHICH THEN CAUSES BUSHINGS TO FAIL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT CHEVROLET IS LARGELY IGNORING.

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE WAITING IN THE PICK UP LINE AT MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOL WHICH IS IN A PARKING LOT FULL OF KIDS. THE CAR JUST SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE. IT ACTUALLY DIED. NO INSTRUMENT PANEL ON, NO RADIO ON, NO HEAT. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN PUSH THE PEDAL ALONG WITH THE PUSH TO START BUTTON TO RESTART THE CAR. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES LATER WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ONCE AGAIN THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT THIS TIME I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DURING THE TIME WHEN KID'S ARE RELEASED FROM SCHOOL AND PEOPLE IN GENERAL ARE MOVING AROUND THE CITY. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED DURING A HEAVY SNOW HERE IN MY STATE. FOR A PERSON DRIVING UP BEHIND ME I'M SITTING THERE WITH NO LIGHTS ON AT A NOW GREEN TRAFFIC LIGHT IN UNSAFE WEATHER CONDITIONS. VEHICLES WERE BLOWING AND GOING AROUND US TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO ACT FAST FOR OUR SAFETY ALONG WITH THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF WERE SCARED OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW 2/7/2020 AT A GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM.

Summary

WHEN STOPPING THE VEHICLE THE SHIFTER CONTROL MODULE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE PARK POSITION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE DISPLAY'S A MESSAGE AND A WARNING BELL SOUNDS WHEN YOU OPEN THE CAR DOOR. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, DASH AND RADIO OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL THE VEHICLE BELIEVES IT'S PROPERLY PUT INTO PARK. NO ERROR CODE IS STORED IN THE CARS MEMORY. GM HAS A FIX FOR THIS BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS RECURRING. MY VEHICLE'S SHIFTER MODULE WAS REPLACE UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THAT FIX FAILED 2 YEARS LATER. THE MOST RECENT FIX WAS TO REPLACE A HARNESS IN THE SHIFTER MODULE. THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX THIS UNDER THE EXISTING CPO WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A RECURRING ISSUE AND THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE SERVICE BULLETINS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND ORIGINALLY REPAIRED UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THIS MOST RECENT FIX HAS FAILED AGAIN AFTER 6 WEEKS OF BEING REPLACED. IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHAT GEAR IT IS IN I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. AS IT IS WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE VEHICLE (SHIFTER MODULE) IS IN THE PARK POSITION THE VEHICLE STAYS ACTIVE AND DRAINS THE BATTERY UNTIL THE ERROR IS CORRECTED. YOU ALSO CANNOT LOCK THE VEHICLE. THE CAR HAS TO BE RESTARTED AND MOVED AND IF YOU ARE LUCKY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT DOWN IT WILL FINALLY RECOGNIZE THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. AS THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY IF THE VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE IF THEY DO NOT SEE THE ERROR MESSAGE ON THE VEHICLES DRIVER INFORMATION SCREEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE.

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AT 1:18PM, DRIVING AT SPEED ON THE MOST DANGEROUS PORTION OF I-95 IN THE SPRINGFIELD, VA AREA, MERGING FROM A LEFT HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP INTO THE FAR LEFT LANE OF THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 20MPH AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GAIN SPEED, PUTTING MY SON'S AND NUMEROUS OTHER DRIVERS' LIVES IN JEOPARDY. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A DEALER WHO INFORMED US THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND WILL 'PROBABLY' NOT COST ANYTHING TO REPAIR. THEY TOLD US IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE IN 3 DAYS, BUT TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THE ADVICE FROM THE DEALER TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT THIS WAY IS RIDICULOUS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IN PLACE FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. WE WILL NEVER KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DIED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET AND THE NHTSA FAILING TO DO ITS JOB OF REQUIRING A RECALL.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER ALERT POPPED UP ON THE DASH ALONG WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT REDUCING MY SPEED TO 30MPH. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. SO WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AS SOON AS THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER ALERT CAME ONE. WHEN I LEFT THE SHOP MY CAR WAS FINE. NO ENGINE LIGHT EITHER. FAST FORWARD A WEEK LATER I'M HEADED TO WORK AGAIN AND THE ALERT POPS UP. I WAS ALREADY CLOSE TO MY JOB SO I KEPT GOING. WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK THE ALERT AND ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. FAST FORWARD ANOTHER WEEK, YESTERDAY, I'M LEAVING WORK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT POPS UP AND MY ENGINE REDUCED THE SPEED AGAIN. I'VE MADE AN APPOINTMENT THE NEAREST GM DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO LOOK AT MY CAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ESPECIALLY IN CHICAGO WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD. I SEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON GOOGLE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT TO MANY CHEVY MALIBU CAR OWNERS ARE HAVING. SEEMS LIKE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO DO A RECALL.

IT GENERALLY WOULD HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY. I WOULD PULL OVER AND HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND SIT AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THE ABOVE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR IS JUST TO NAME A FEW. BY THE WAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT 27,000 MILES SO THERE IS NO REASON WHY THESE ISSUES SHOULD CONTINUOUSLY BE HAPPENING. I HAVE CALLED CHEVY NUMEROUS OF TIMES COMPLAING THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE JUST ABOUT REPLACED EVERY PART EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKES, ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND I A SURE THOSE ARE GOING TO BE NEXT. I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER, IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG. I JUST TOOK IT IN FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN AND NOISE FROM REAR END SOUNDING LIKE A STRUT. AND THEY FOUND ISSUE WITH KEY THOB CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, LEAKING STRUT, AND BAD WHEEL BEARINGS. NOW THAT JUST ADDS MORE TO THE LIST. NOT TO MENTION I GET HOME AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AGAIN AND THE NOISE IS SLIGHTLY STILL THERE. I HAVE PLENTY OF RECORDS I JUST HAVE TO MUCH TO UPLOAD HERE, BUT IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE LOOK INTO MY SITUATION. THIS HAS TRULY BEEN A NIGHTMARE.

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2016 I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE VCM 4 TIMES. NOTHING SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE STOP/START NEVER WORKED RIGHT. THREE TIMES OVER THE LAST MONTH, AFTER VARIOUS REPAIRS AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE DOORS UNLOCKED AND LOCKED, VEHICLE JUMPED 3 TIMES, ALL KINDS OF WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES ON THE DASH....THEN NOTHING BUT A DEAD CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON A SUNNY DRY DAY. I COULD'VE BEEN THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS WHILE STOPPED IN THE ROADWAY AND MANY PEOPLE COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE CAR WAS FIXED THE FOURTH TIME YESTERDAY AND THE MECHANIC TOOK IT OUT TO TEST BEFORE RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO ME. IT DIED ON HIM AGAIN AND HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND THE CERTIFIED GM TECHS CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. P3055 AND P3056 ARE THE ERROR CODES THAT COME UP EVERY TIME. NEW BATTERY, NEW VCM, NEW WIRING HARNESS....EACH TIME THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE UNTIL IT COMPLETELY STOPPED RUNNING. NO RECALL AND THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO CHEVY IS NOT WILLING TO HELP AT ALL.

Summary

UPON STOPPING AND SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY GIVES A "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING AND WHEN THE "STOP / START" BUTTON IS PUSHED TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE STOPS, BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REMAINS ENERGIZED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND IT OFTEN TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY BY RE-STARTING THE ENGINE, SHIFTING INTO GEAR, SHIFTING BACK TO PARK, THEN HITTING THE "STOP / START" BUTTON AGAIN BEFORE IT WORKS CORRECTLY. BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM THIS AND OTHER SITES, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND MY LOCAL DEALER HAS QUOTED ME APPROXIMATELY $500 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL ASSEMBLY. GM HAS ALSO ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, NO. 18-NA-297, WHICH RECOGNIZES THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT AND IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM A 100 YEAR OLD CAR COMPANY THAT THE GOVERNMENT BAILED OUT JUST 10 YEARS AGO.

IN DECEMBER OF 2018 ON A ROAD TRIP, MY BRAKES FAILED; I LITERALLY HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED ON THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE, WITH MYSELF, MY MOTHER AND MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE FEAR I FELT AT THAT TIME. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO MERGE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN HARRISBURG, PA AND IT TOOK THEM A WEEK TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP. JULY 2019 I NOTICE THAT MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THERE IS A MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD THAT STATES 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER.' I IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. MY CAR HAS BEEN THERE SINCE TUESDAY, JULY 23, 2019 AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE 'ANTI-LOCK BRAKE' SYSTEM HAS FAILED AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO PINPOINT WHY THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED THAT WE TAKE THE CAR HOME AND BRING IT ON ANOTHER DAY, BUT AGAIN, LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND WE COULD NOT APPLY PRESSURE TO IT! THEY HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP AGAIN.

Summary

VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS RAINED ON FOR 2 CONSTITUTIVE DAYS. THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY JUST ABOVE THE REAR LEAKED INTO THE ROOF OF THE CARE AND THE TRUNK. THE LEAK WAS EXTREMELY FAST AND CAUSED A POOL ABOUT 1/2 AN INCH DEEP TO BUILD UP IN THE SPARE TIRE STORAGE COMPARTMENT OF THE TRUNK. THE LEAK CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ROOF PANEL ON THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR WITH SIGNIFICANT WATER MARKS, AND COMPLETELY SOAKED THE TRUNK AS MENTIONED BEFORE WITH THE POOL OF WATER. THE CAR WAS PURCHASE NEW AND HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT OR COLLISION OF ANY TYPE. THE TECHNICIAN THAT REPAIRED THE LEAK SHOWED THE LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A LOOSE NUT ON THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY JUST ABOVE THE REAR WINDOW. I HAVE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FROM THE REPAIR SHOP THAT FIXED THE LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO SERVICE OR INVESTIGATE THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. THE CARE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED UNDER A RAINSTORM WHEN THE DAMAGES WERE NOTICED. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL DAMAGE HOWEVER THE PROXIMITY TO THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WARRANTS THE REPORT OF ELECTRICAL DAMAGE. BODY DAMAGE IS DUE TO WATER DAMAGE TO THE FLOOR MATS OF THE TRUNK, HEADREST IN THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR, AND WATER DAMAGE TO THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THE DAMAGE WAS FOUND ON SATURDAY JULY 6TH, 2019. THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON TUESDAY JULY 9TH, 2019.

Summary

MY 2016 MALIBU HAS INTERMITTENTLY NOT TURNED OFF WHEN HITTING THE STOP BUTTON AND THE ERROR MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK" WAS COMING UP. THE CAR WAS IN PARK. I AM ABLE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WITH NO MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS INCREASED TO WHERE I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVENTUALLY IT ALLOWS THE CAR TO TURN OFF. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SHIFTER WAS BAD. HE STATED THAT HE KNEW THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS THE 8TH ONE THEY HAD REPLACED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I DO NOT LIVE IN A LARGE METRO AREA SO 8 IS A PRETTY HIGH NUMBER FOR THE POPULATION. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2016-2017 MALIBU AND VOLTS OVER THE SAME ISSUE.

WHEN PLACING THE CAR IN PARK TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, A MESSAGE APPEARS STATING "ACTION REQUIRED" "SHIFT TO PARK." THE CAR IS IN PARK. SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF PARK DOES NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OCCURRED OVER ABOUT 3 MONTHS. HAVE TO TURN OFF LIGHTS MANUALLY OR THEY WON'T GO OFF. DASH LIGHT REMAIN ON LONGER THAN USUAL. CAR BATTERY FINALLY DIED. REPLACED THE BATTERY/ PROBLEM PERSISTS. WHEN GETTING OUT OF CAR AND CLOSING DOORS, HORN HONKS 3 TIMES. REMOTE NOT DETECTED WHEN GETTING IN CAR AGAIN TO GO SOMEWHERE. PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. TOOK TO DEALER, COURTESY CHEVROLET. WAS TOLD WHILE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT "COMMON" IT WAS A "KNOWN" ISSUE. NEVER SUGGESTED THIS WAS SOMETHING TO LOOK AT ANY OTHER TIME THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE. HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFT GEAR. COST $450 INITIALLY, BUT AFTER COMPLAINING, THEY TOOK OFF ABOUT $100. WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH NHTSA DEFINES POWER TRAIN AS INCLUDING "SHIFT LEVER/GEAR CONTROL AND INDICATOR DEVICES." THERE IS A TSB OUT ON THIS PROBLEM AND MANY NHTSA COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS CHEVROLET MESSAGE BOARDS. CAR HAS ONLY 16,000 MILES ON IT.

IT HAD GOTTEN WORSE SINCE I WAS HAVING TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD REGISTER IT WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK. THE DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY HAS MY CAR AND HAS TOLD ME THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED. I HAD SENT THEM A SCREEN SHOT OF THE SERVICE REPORT FROM GM WHICH YOU CAN FIND HERE HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2018/MC-10154985-999.PDF WHICH STATES THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING. MY CAR HAS 21K MILES ON IT AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR TWO YEARS.

Summary

I HAVE A 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU WITH ROUGHLY 50,000 MILES ON IT. FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW, IT IS NO LONGER RECOGNIZING WHEN THE CAR IS PLACED IN PARK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER (WHERE WE HAVE ALL OIL CHANGES/WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE) AND THEY STATED THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACING. I AM QUITE UPSET OVER THIS AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO INDIVIDUALS AND GM IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE A SHIFTER ASSEMBLY IN THIS NEW OF A CAR AND ESPECIALLY A CAR THAT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $1,000 TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE DOING ALL THE NECESSARY WORK/OIL CHANGES AND ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND YOU GO TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, AN ALARM DINGS AND DISPLAYS A MESSAGE SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK." THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, YOU CAN REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND IT DOES NOT ROLL. YOU CAN NOT WALK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BATTERY WILL THEN DRAIN. NORMALLY, VEHICLE HAS TO BE RESTARTED AND PLACED IN DRIVE THEN SHIFT BACK TO PARK IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO OFF. THIS IS HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY NOW. THIS COULD BECOME EVEN A GREATER ISSUE THAN GM IS REALIZING AS IF YOU DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE MESSAGE, YOUR CAR CAN REMAIN ON AND INDIVIDUALS COULD DIE FROM CARBON MONOXIDE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT GM & CHEVY NEEDS TO ADDRESS SOONER THAN LATER.

"TAKATA RECALL" IHAVE A 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU IT HAS 23000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER RECOGNIZING WHEN I PLACED IT IN PARK. MY 36,000MILE WARRANTY ENDED 2 MONTHS AGO TO THE DAY I HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY, I AM QUITE UPSET BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY 23,000 MILES ON THIS AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY OR AS A RECALL. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL REPORTS RECENTLY REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE IN THE 2016 CHEVY MALIBU'S THAT ARE THE SAME STYLE AS MINE. BOTTOM LINE 23,000 MILES ON A CHEVY MALIBU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE A SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AND COST 1300 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET TO DO SO. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE DOING ALL OF THE NECESSARY WORK OR OIL CHANGES AND RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE I HAVE PLACED IT IN PARK AND AN ALARM GOES OFF SAYING PLACE YOUR VEHICLE IN PARK, IT'S IN PARK BUT YOU CANNOT WALK AWAY FROM THE CAR BECAUSE THE BATTERY WILL THEN DRAIN OR I WILL HAVE BIGGER ISSUES. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR, SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND SLOWLY PLACE MY CAR IN PARK TO GET THE MESSAGE TO CLEAR AND IT RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS AT WORK, IN A PARKING LOT, IN MY GARAGE, AT THE STORE, AND SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW AFTER RESTARTING AGAIN AND AGAIN.

MY 2016 CHEVY MALIBU HAS 93,000 MILES ON IT. NO ISSUES UNTIL THIS DAY. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING IT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT 40 MILES FROM MY HOME. WHEN I GOT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES. THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED AT TOP OF THE PEDAL. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. SCARED THE [XXX] OUT OF ME! DROPPED THE PEOPLE OFF. DROVE 3 BLOCKS TO A 7 11, SCARED TO DRIVE ANY FURTHER. PARKED AND THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT START. WAITING 3 HOURS FOR THE TOW TRUCK, FINALLY GOT THE CHEVY MALIBU AND MYSELF HOME A 5AM. HAD A MOBILE MECHANIC RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT. MULTIPLE ISSUES CAME UP. EVERYTHING FROM MULTIPLE BRAKE ISSUES AND EVEN MORE ENGINE ISSUES. HAD TO TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP NEAR BY. BRAKE TECH RAN A DIAGNOSTIC, SAID NOT BRAKES IT'S AN ENGINE ISSUE. ENGINE TECH SAYS IT 'MAYBE' TIMING OR CAM SHAFT. $2500 ON A MAYBE, BEST THEY CAN TELL FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC. FROM ALL THE REVIEWS I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND THE GUESSING GAME AT OWNERS EXPENSE. NONE OF THESE HAVE FIXED THE ISSUES. WHILE READING THE REVIEWS, I READ 3 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. IN ADDITION GM HAS REMOVE ANY AND ALL WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE ABOVE THE 36,000 MILES. GM WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHEVY MALIBU DEATH TRAP WHICH THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF. NO RECALL, NO REPAIR SUPPORT FOR THE DEALERSHIP THAT NOW IS INVOLVED WITH THIS WORTHLESS PRODUCT. MY QUESTION FOR GM IS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? I SAY TO THE CEO OF GM. I WANT ONE OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS TO HAVE MY CAR AS THERE DAILY DRIVE. BUT WAIT THE ENGINE WILL NOT EVEN TURN OVER. NOTHING BUT A PAPERWEIGHT NOW. TO ALL HEAD HONCHOS AT GM I HAVE LARGE CAR PARTS THE NEED TO BE PLACED WERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PRODUCT!!!

BRAKES OR ESC COMPLAINT I AM A GRANDMOTHER WHO DRIVES HER GRANDDAUGHTERS TO AND FROM SCHOOL. AS I AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER EXITED THE FREEWAY ONTO THE SERVICE ROAD, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SLOWED DOWN. AFTER GOING ANOTHER 50 FEET I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO STOP AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD..QUICKLY I PRESSED THE PEDAL AGAIN AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE THIRD TIME I PRESSED THE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD INTO THE FLOORBOARD. THERE WAS A VIBRATING SOUND. NEXT, I PRESSED THE PEDAL FOR THE FOURTH TIME AND FELT THE NORMAL AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE AND IT PERFORMED PROPERLY AND STOPPED THE CAR. I DROVE A FEW MORE BLOCKS TO MY DESTINATION GOING 10 MILES AN HOUR WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I CALLED MY ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE SERVICE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT DAY I EXPLAINED THE EXPERIENCE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY DROVE IT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE EXPERIENCE. THEY DROVE THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEN SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO THEY WERE READY TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME. I SAID I'M NOT READY TO TAKE IT BACK AND THAT THEY SHOULD BE GLAD THEY DIDN'T DUPLICATE MY EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE, THEY MIGHT HAVE HURT SOMEONE.. I CALLED GM AND THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED ME AND SAID HE DROVE IT AND IT PERFORMED NORMALLY. I ASKED HIM TO CONSULT WITH THE FACTORY OR TRY TO GET A BRAKE SPECIALIST TO LOOK AT IT. AND I TOLD HIM I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR ANOTHER INCH UNTIL THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND FIX IT. THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A LONER CAR SO I HAVE RENTED A CAR AT $50 A DAY. I HOPE TO GET THIS RESOLVED.

AFTER I CUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT SEEMS FINE AND EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN.

Summary

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL OR SENSOR APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE ON THESE VEHICLES. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MINE TWICE WITHIN THE PAST 16 MONTHS. ALSO, AFTER RESEARCHING SEVERAL AUTO FORUMS, THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE. THIS DEFECT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO REDUCE POWER, WHICH THEN DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE OVER 25MPH. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHEN IT OCCURS, LIKE I WAS THE FIRST TIME THE PEDAL WENT OUT. THE 1ST EPISODE OCCURRED 1/18, WITH THE MOST RECENT EVENT OCCURRING TODAY.

Summary

HI, I LEASED A 2016 CHEVY MALIBU. WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, MY ENGINE POWER SUDDENLY LOWERED AND A NOTIFICATION POPPED UP SAYING THE SAME. THE RPM INCREASED TO 5+ SINCE I WAS TRYING TO TAKE EXIT AND THE CAR WAS LOSING CONTROL. I EVENTUALLY GOT TO GM SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE THROTTLE SENSOR GOT BAD WHICH WOULD COST $150+ TO REPLACE. HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE THEN AND ONCE A MONTH THE SAME NOTIFICATION POPS UP AND LOWERS MY ENGINE POWER UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. EACH TIME I DO THIS, I HAVE TO SUDDENLY STOP MY CAR ON THE SHOULDER. THE SENSOR IS NOT BAD, THE CAR JUST SENSES THAT THE SENSOR IS BAD AND REDUCES POWER. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SCAM WHERE GM WANTS TO MAKE MORE MONEY. MOREOVER, I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS WHERE PEOPLE DESCRIBE HOW THEY ALMOST LOST CONTROL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD FIX THIS AS A RECALL. I WANT GM TO ACCEPT THAT THEY INSTALLED A DEFECTIVE PART AND WILL FIX IT. THANKS.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE WENT INTO START/STOP, THE RADIO CUT OFF, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT CRAZY WITH WARNINGS. THE CAR WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON, I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN USE ME HAZARDS. I HAD NO ELECTRICAL IN THE CAR WHATSOEVER. I HAD TO LITERALLY KEEP PULLING THE DOOR HANDLE TO EVEN GET OUT OF IT. FINALLY HAD SOMEONE COME HELP ME PUSH IT OFF TO THE SIDE, JUMPED IT AND IT WAS FINE. EVER SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 20 MORE TIMES THAT THE RADIO CUTS OFF AND ON THEN THE CAR DIES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT THIS POINT. EACH TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, BUT BY THE TIME I GET IT STARTED AGAIN IT IS OFF. THEN RANDOMLY THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON AND OFF AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET THE CODE READ, BUT NOTHING. THIS IS UNSAFE AND VERY SCARY.

WHEN STARTING TO PROGRESS FROM A STOP, THE MALIBU WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, AND THEN WHEN IT DOES GO IT, SURGES FORWARD. IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT INCREASES OVER TIME. THIS ALL OCCURS WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WERE THEY HAVE KEPT IT FOR A COMBINED TOTAL OF WELL OVER A MONTH, BUT CLAIM THAT WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN PREDOMINATELY DURING THE SPRING/SUMMER MONTHS, AND IS LESS FREQUENT DURING THE MUCH COLDER FALL/WINTER MONTHS. WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER. MY WIFE IS REFUSING TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT HER OR OUR CHILDREN WILL BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE CAR WILL NOT PROCEED ONCE IN A BUSY INTERSECTION.

WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE AND PLACING THE SHIFTER TO PARK THE CAR GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK" AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF AND I IMAGINE OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS STILL RUN DURING THIS ERROR. SINCE THE MESSAGE NEVER WENT AWAY WHILE I WAS AT A NON-GM AUTO REPAIR SHOP IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND BRAKE CHECK, THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT SO THAT THE CAR COULD TURN OFF COMPLETELY. THEY ALSO FOUND A TSB (ATTACHED) ON THIS ISSUE THAT INFORMED THEM ON HOW TO FIX THE "SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR. SINCE THE REPAIR WAS NOT AT A GM DEALER THE COST WAS OUT OF POCKET. HAVE CONTACTED GM AND SO FAR THEY ARE SAYING SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO IN TERMS OF REIMBURSEMENT.

THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL INSTEAD OF ME HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I AM DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I THOUGHT CHEVROLET WAS A LITTLE MORE RELIABLE THAN THIS.

I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND MESSAGE SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THE CAR RAPIDLY SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT SPEED UP EVEN THOUGH I PRESSED DOWN HARD ON THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OVER AND PARKED, SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT WORKED FINE. AS I DROVE TO GO BACK HOME, THE CAR COULD BARELY GO THE SPEED LIMIT. I PARKED THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 24 HRS. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OUT SO I DROVE OFF. WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR'S SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN TO A VERY SLOW PACE. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 40 MPH. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 10-20 MPH. SPEED CONTROL WAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT FAR SO I DROVE IT THERE. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE ATTENDANT TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BEFORE HE CHECKED THE VEHICLE. IRONICALLY, THERE WAS ANOTHER CUSTOMER THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE BOTH HAD THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE AND MODEL WITH APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AMOUNT OF MILEAGE. THE SERVICE ATTENDANT ADDRESSED BOTH OF US TOGETHER SINCE WE BOTH HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WE NEEDED A APP PEDAL SENSOR. THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART. IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. THIS TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED, I OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX IT QUICKLY. WHILE CHECKING THE WEB FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I NOTICED THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER CONSUMERS.

Summary

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE BEING IN PARK. WHEN THE SHIFTER IS MOVED INTO THE PARK POSITION, IT LATCHES INTO POSITION PROPERLY, BUT SOMETHING ELECTRONICALLY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK, SO WHEN YOU PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR, IT WILL SHUT OFF THE ENGINE BUT DISPLAY A WARNING 'PLEASE PUT VEHICLE IN PARK". SINCE IT DOESN'T KNOW IT IS IN PARK, IT WILL NOT FULLY TURN OFF. IT WILL STAY IN ACCESSORY MODE, THUS KEEPING ON THE LIGHTS, THE RADIO, ETC, AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LOCK THE DOORS. JIGGLING THE SIFTER, ROCKING THE CAR, RESTARTING AND TURNING OFF AGAIN, TAKING IN AND OUT OF PARK, ALL DID NOTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK FOR THEFT AS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SECURED SINCE THE LIGHTS AND RADIO ARE STILL ON. YOU ALSO CAN'T KEEP ANY VALUABLES IN THE CAR SINCE IT CAN'T BE LOCKED. WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST HAPPENS IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT, SO THEY DEALER CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. ONCE IT HAPPENS REGULARLY THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT IT SEEMS GM DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE, SO THEY FORCE YOU TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY FOR $700. IT TURNS OUT THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON IN NEWER MALIBUS. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST-DISCUSSED FORUM POSTS ON THE MALIBU FORUMS WEBSITE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND BE COVERED AT NO CHARGE FROM GM SINCE NO ONE EXPECTS TO BUY A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT BE LOCKED AND DOESN'T TURN OFF FROM ACCESSORY MODE.

Summary

AT CRUISING SPEED ON THE FREEWAY, APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CAR JERKED AND LOST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE WARNING "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" DISPLAYED ON THE INFORMATION PANEL. THE CAR CONTINUED TO LOSE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF POWER UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF A SEPARATED TOLL LANE AND TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, IT WAS ABLE TO AGAIN GAIN POWER. OVER SEVERAL DAYS, THE CAR WOULD GO IN AND OUT OF THIS MODE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND ON MULTIPLE TIMES, IT AGAIN LOST POWER ON THE FREEWAY, LOST SIGNIFICANT POWER WHILE DRIVING UP HILLS (DROPPING FROM A SPEED OF 55 MPH TO BELOW 20 MPH WITHIN A MINUTE). CARS BEHIND MY CAR HAD TO MOVE OUT FROM BEHIND ME AND I HAD TO PULL IN TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO LET OTHER CARS PASS ME AS I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A LEGAL SPEED. THIS PROBLEM WAS ASSESSED BY QUIRK CHEVROLET AND DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IN THE GAS PEDAL AND THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. QUIRK IDENTIFIED THAT THESE COMPONENTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NECESSARY COMPONENTS IN THE POWERTRAIN) AND THAT THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THESE WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $520 PLUS THE COST OF A RENTAL CAR. THEY ALSO WERE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE AN AVAILABLE GAS PEDAL/THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ASSEMBLY BY THE END OF THE BUSINESS DAY AND WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A TIMEFRAME FOR THE LENGTH OF TIME THIS WOULD TAKE TO COMPLETE BECAUSE OF THIS MISSING PART. THEY ALSO IDENTIFIED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RESET THE ECM UNTIL THIS SENSOR ASSEMBLY WAS COMPLETED.

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND THE CODE IS P2138. THIS IS AN ACCELERATOR ISSUE AND WHEN THE ISSUE COMES ABOUT, THE CAR ENGINE REDUCES AND MY CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PART AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL VERSUS ME HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS AND THE PART SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AS THIS IS DANGEROUS. IF I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENS, I MYSELF OR OTHERS COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT IF NOT KILLED. THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AND I NEED MY VEHICLE AND AM SCARED TO KEEP DRIVING IT WITHOUT IT BEING FIXED. OF COURSE, MY VEHICLE IS OVER MILEAGE WARRANTY, THEREFORE I NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THERE IS NO WARNING SIGN THAT THE CAR IS GOING TO REV DOWN TO 20 MPH. CHEVROLET SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD EVEN CONSIDER REIMBURSEMENT OF ANY KIND WOULD BE TO HAVE THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP (WHICH IS $115 TO DIAGNOSE). THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC, THEREFORE IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHERE IT IS DIAGNOSED.

I STARTED GETTING DIFFERENT MESSAGES AND LIGHTS ON MY DASH OVER TIME. THE FIRST TIME I GOT A SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHEN I WAS PARKED WITH THE CAR IDLING AND THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND CALLED THE DEALER. I TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND ASKED IF IT WAS OK TO DRIVE TO A LOT OR SHOULD I GET IT TOWED. THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE OK TO DRIVE IT. IT WAS TOO LATE IN THE EVENING TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO I WENT TO BED. I GOT UP THE NEXT MORNING AND GOT IN THE CAR AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING GREAT SO I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT MUST HAVE JUST BEEN A GLITCH OR SOMETHING AND THAT I WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE IT SINCE IT WAS RUNNING FINE NOW. CAR RAN FINE FOR MONTHS WITH NO ISSUES AFTER THAT THEN ONE DAY I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAYS ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND SERVICE STABILITRAK WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY. I PULLED INTO THE NEAREST AUTOPARTS STORE AND GOT THEM TO CHECK MY CODES WHICH CAME BACK WITH A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 1. AGAIN CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I COULD DRIVE IT IN SINCE IT WAS JUST A MISFIRE, THAT IT WOULD JUST RUN ROUGH. I STOPPED FOR FUEL ON MY WAY AND THE MESSAGE AND ENGINE LIGHT WERE GONE WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN. CALLED DEALER AGAIN THEY WERE CLUELESS AND SAID THEY COULDN'T REALLY DO MUCH IF THE ISSUE WASN'T THERE. RAN FINE FOR MONTHS AGAIN THEN GOT SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND BRAKES ACTED FUNNY AS I WAS PULLING INTO WORK. BY LUNCH TIME THE ISSUE WAS GONE AGAIN. COUPLE DAYS LATER, REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK, TURNED AROUND AND LIMPED IT HOME WHILE STOPPING AT PARTS STORE AND 11 CODES CAME BACK. I GOT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE A BROKEN PISTON IN CYLINDER 1 AND THEY COULDN'T REBUILD IT BUT THEY WOULD PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT FOR $9,000.

DRIVING DOWN MAJOR HIGHWAY, CEL CAME ON, VEHICLE WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE. SCANNED CEL AND FOUND CODE FOR APP SENSOR FAILURE. BROUGHT TO CHEVY DEALER NEAR WHERE CAR BROKE DOWN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE IT AND THEN CHARGE FOR PARTS AND LABOR. THE ONLY ISSUE BEING IS THAT THE GAS PEDAL AND SENSOR ARE ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER. WHICH MEANS THAT SINCE THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE WITH THE THOUSAND OF GM VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND THE COST OF THE RENTAL CAR THROUGH THE DEALER. THERE IS NO ETA ON WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN (IF EVER) SINCE GM HAS NOT BEEN PRODUCING THESE PARTS FOR AFTERMARKET REPAIRS. THIS ISSUE STARTED ON 12/21/18 AND THE DEALER SAID IT MAY TAKE UP TO TWO WEEKS OR LONGER TO GET THE PART, THE PART HAS STILL NOT BEEN ISSUED TO THE DEALER WHICH HAS SEVERAL CARS WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL GM VEHICLES, MY GRANDFATHER WORKED FOR GM, AND I SERVICE MANY HEAVY DUTY GM ENGINES THROUGH MY JOB, BUT THIS WILL BE THE LAST GM VEHICLE I BELIEVE I WILL BE PURCHASING. THE QUALITY OF GM IS GONE IMMENSELY DOWN AND THEY ARE NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE OF OWNING ONE ANYMORE.

I CALLED THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IT IN THE NEXT DAY. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND DIAGNOSTICS DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING. I HAVE SEEN A FEW OTHER POST ON THE INTERNET WITH THIS HAPPENING ON OTHER MALIBU CARS. THE DEALERSHIP IS ALLOWING US TO "EXCHANGE" (FOR A FEE) TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR SINCE WE JUST PURCHASED THIS ONE A MONTH AGO. HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TO SOMEBODY ELSE WITH THIS CAR.

BUT WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE IT DOESNT START BACK UP AS NORMAL. ONLY TO HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND APPLY THE BRAKE AND HOPE IT STARTS BACK UP. AFTER READING INTO THIS ON VARIOUS FORUMS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON RECURRING ISSUE. ONLY NO ANSWERS AS TO WHY OR WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM.

AROUND 50,000 MILES SENSOR ON THROTTLE PEDAL WENT OUT AND CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP ACCELERATING WITH MY KID IN THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DRIVING. NEXT AT 74,000 MY 2016 CHEVY MALIBU LT 1.5L TURBO HAS A CRACKED PISTON. I BELIEVE RECALL 17019 STOCHASTIC PRE EGNITION SHOULD BE LINKED TO MY VIN. FIRST SERVICE STABILITRAK COMES ON WITH A GLOWING ICON SHOWING A CAR WITH WAVY LINES UNDERNEATH IT. THEN CODE READING P0301 (CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE) WENT THROUGH THE CHECKLIST, SPARK PLUGS, COILS, FUEL INJECTORS ALL FINE. CHECKED THE COMPRESSION OF CYLINDER ONE AND IT'S GONE. CYLINDER ONE HAS NO COMPRESSION IT DOESN'T WORK. I SAW THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 1.5L TURBO GM TRIED PERFECTING AND STILL DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX BESIDES REPLACING THE PISTON OR MOTOR. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING MY CAR. ONCE I NOTICED THE STABILITRAK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT I WENT HOME AND LEFT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE IN HOPES THERE WASN'T DAMAGE. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT GM KNEW THIS WHOLE TIME AND NO ONE TOLD ME. THEIR TRYING TO SAY MY CAR ISN'T ON THAT RECALL BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT MY CAR IS EXACTLY THAT 17019 STOCHASTIC PRE EGNITION RECALL.

SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND CAR STILL MOVED FORWARD, STILL IN EV MODE. SHIFTED TO REVERSE AND NEUTRAL AGAIN THE CAR STILL MOVED FORWARD, STILL IN EV MODE. TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTARTED AND WORKED FINE, STILL IN EV MODE. 8/16/2018 - 85 DEGREES. CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING, RESTARTED AND WORKED. BUT LATER THAT DAY I STARTED THE CAR AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND THE CAR MOVED FORWARD, CAR IN EV MODE. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL BUT AT THE SAME MOMENT THE ENGINE STARTED AND I FELT AND HEARD A SHIFTING NOISE AND THE CAR WORKED FINE. 2ND APPOINTMENT WILL DEALER ON 8/20/16, APPEARS A COMMON FACTOR IS WARM DAYS WHEN I PARK THE CAR OUTSIDE IN THE SUN. NO MATTER WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE THERE IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY SYMPTOM OF A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND COULD BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM. THE NEXT STEP THE DEALER WILL DO IS REPLACE A WIRING HARNESS, AGAIN PER A SERVICE BULLETIN SO THE MANUFACTURER DOES KNOW OF A PROBLEM.

Summary

JUST OVER 37000 MILES, CAR STARTS RUNNING FUNNY, ALOT OF VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL. I GET OUT OF THE CAR ONE DAY, I LEAVE IT RUNNING, I GET BACK IN JUST A MINUTE AND A HALF LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING ALONG WITH THE STABILITRACK LIGHT AND THE CAR IS REALLY RUNNING ROUGH AND STEAM OR SMOKE IS COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A COUPLE HUNDERED DOLLARS FOR DIAGNOSIS. I CALL BACK THE NEXT DAY THEY TELL ME ENGINE COMPRESSION IS LOW AND CHANCES ARE IT'S A CRACKED PISTON RING. I ASKED WHAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THAT IN A 2016, NOT EVEN A TWO YEAR OLD CAR? I WAS TOLD THAT THESE PARTS WEAR, I MEAN IF I COULD TELL YOU WHY IT'S HAPPENING OR WHAT THE CAUSE WAS THERE WOULD NEVER BE ANY PROBLEMS, JUST BE GLAD IT'S COVERED UNDER YOUR POWERTAIN WARRANTY. I'VE DRIVEN CHEVYS FOR TWENTY YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS, AT THE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN THE WATER PUMP. I'VE GONE ONLINE SINCE TO SEARCH FOR INFO ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A RECALL TO ME CHEVROLET, GM.

2/2/18. WAS TRAVELING AT 47 MPH WHEN A TRUCK STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 CAR LENGTHS AWAY. I HIT THE BRAKE TO STOP, FELT THE PEDAL VIBRATE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VIBRATION WENT AWAY. PUMPED THE PEDAL AGAIN AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT BEFORE HITTING THE TRUCK. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THE AUTO STOP FEATURE DID NOT WORK. THE ONSTAR DID NOT ACTIVATE.THE ROADS WERE DRY, AND THE ROAD WAS FLAT. GM SENT SOMEONE TO RETRIEVE THE DATA FROM THE COMPUTERS, WE HAVE COPIES OF THE REPORT. THE DATA SHOWS 5 SECONDS BEFORE THE CRASH. ACCORDING TO THE BRAKING DATA, THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED AT 47 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED BUT DID NOT STOP. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THE BODY SHOP, WE HAD THE CODES PULLED AND FOUND NUMEROUS CODES IN THE DIFFERENT MODULES. THERE WAS A CODE U0415-71- INVALID DATA RECEIVED FROM ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE PRESENT AS A HISTORY CODE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVY DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED ALL THE SAME CODES. WE HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER THAT DID THE BODY WORK IN CASE IT WAS ACCIDENT RELATED. THE SECOND DEALER IS CLAIMING THAT EVEN THOUGH CODES ARE PRESENT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN FIND WRONG. I BELIEVE THE ABS FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE AND WAS THE DIRECT CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.

Summary

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2016 MALIBU LS (JULY 29, 2017). AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IT HAS 2,100 MILES. IT CURRENTLY HAS APRROXIMATELY 4,600 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY IT'S ORGINAL FACTORY EQUIPMENT AND HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY CRASH, COLLISION OR HAS HAD ANY BODY WORK DONE. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ALLIGNED. I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE HAS INADEQATE ILLUMINATION, ESPECIALLY FOR SUCH A RECENT MODEL YEAR. THE LOW BEAMS AND THE HIGH BEAMS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH AND DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY FAR ENOUGH. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOTICABLE ON TURNS. I DO MOST OF MY DRIVING ON RURAL ROADS IN UPSTATE NEW YORK, WHERE I HAVE A HOME. THERE IS NO SECONDARY LIGHTING (STREET LAMPS/ ROADWAY LIGHTING), JUST YOUR VEHICLES HEADLAMPS. THESE ROADS ARE ONE LANE EACH DIRECTION RURAL ROADS. I BELEIVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT SEE WILD LIFE, LIKE DEER AND BEAR ON THE SHOULDER OR THE ROADWAY EASILY IN THIS VEHICLE. THEY DO NOT LIGHT THE ROADWAY'S SHOULDER FAR ENOUGH TO SEE DEER ON THE SHOULDER OR CROSSIING THE ROADS UNTIL YOU ARE CLOSER TO THEM, THEN IN OTHER GM CARS I HAVE HAD AND THEN YOU HAVE TO STOP SHORT. MY PRIOR GM'S CARS, THE HIGH BEAMS AND LOW WERE BRIGHT ENOUGH TO REFLECT OFF THE ANIMALS EYES OR THEIR BODIES. IMPROVED ILLUMINATION WOULD MAKE A SUBSTANCIAL DIFFERENCE AND HELP TO ELIMINATE A SAFETY ISSUE AND OR A POSSIBLE CRASH OR COLLISION. CAN THESE BULBS BE CHANGED OR UPGRADED? I AM A LOYAL GM CUSTOMER AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL GM CARS, AN 1987 CENTURY, 1989 OLDS CIERA. BOTH OF WHICH SEEMED TO HAVE BETTER ILLUMINATION, EVEN BEING MORE THAN 25 YRS OLD. I ACTUALLY JUST REPLACED THE OLDSMOBILE WITH THE MALIBU. I ALSO DRIVE A 2003 SATURN ION WHICH HAS BETTER ILLUMINTION. AS WELL AS A 2016 BUICK VERANO. CAN THIS MATTER BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS THIS, THANK YOU.

Summary

ENGINE AUTO START/STOP EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE (WHEN AT STANDSTILL IN DRIVE SHIFT POSITION) ENGINEERING MODIFICATION NEEDED ENGINE AUTO START/STOP NEEDS TO HAVE A DRIVER DETECTOR (IN SEAT) ADDED TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM INADVERTANTLY DRIVING FOWARD WITHOUT DRIVER IN THE DRIVER SEAT. IT IS ESPECIALLY CRUCIAL FOR THOSE NEW DRIVERS NOT USED TO THE FUEL SAVING START/STOP ENGINE. IT HAPPENED TO ME RECENTLY AND I WAS UNAWARE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK AS ENGINE WAS IN "AUTO STOP POSITION" AND SILENT. AS I GOT OUT AND SHUT DOOR, CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE WITH NOBODY IN THE CAR. LUCKILY I WAS FAST ENOUGH TO CHASE AFTER IT, OPEN DOOR, AND SLAM ON THE BRAKES WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS HAS ALMOST HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I WOULD RECCOMEND PUTTING SOME KIND OF CHIP IN THE DRIVER SEAT WHICH WOULD DEACTIVATE THE ENGINE IF DRIVER SEAT IS EMPTY WHILE CAR IS IN DRIVE SHIFT POSITION. IF NOT CORRECTED THE CAR COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS AND BYSTANDERS. THIS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED ACCROSS ENTIRE GM LINE AS WELL AS OTHER MANUFACTURERS.

Summary

BRAND NEW 2016 MALIBU 30 MILES OFF THE LOT AND 100% OF THE TIME THE CAR BUCKS WHEN BRAKING. FROM 3RD GEAR TO FIRST GEAR THE CAR ENGINE PULLS BACK THE CAR ABRUPTLY WHILE THE RPM'S RISE ALMOST 1000 BACK DOWN WITH EACH SHIFT. I BROUGHT IT TO CHEVROLET 3 TIMES AS WELL AS CALLED THE HOT LINE #. AFTER TWICE BEING TOLD THAT NO ONE CAN FIND WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT THEY TURNED THE STORY TO WELL CHEVY ENGINES DO THAT SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. THAT ITS THE ECO ENGINE CONSERVING POWER. I HAVE REPLICATED THE SITUATION TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IN RETURN, NOTHING WAS FIXED. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THIS CAR HAD THIS ISSUE AND HAVEN'T TURNED UP ANYTHING. THE CAR IS WORST IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND APPARENTLY THEY SAY UNLESS A RECALL IN ISSUED THEIRS NOTHING TO BE DONE. CITY DRIVING IT HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. HIGHWAY, ONLY WHEN HAVING TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO HIT THE LOWER GEARS. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE IS ALSO WEARING AWAY THE BRAKES FASTER THAN USUAL. THIS CAR HAS A CHECKERED HISTORY WITH RECALLS AND MY MODEL YEAR EVEN HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND YET I'M TOLD TO DEAL WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN SURE TO MAKE A PAPER TRAIL OF BRINGING IT IN SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT AS WELL AS EVERY TIME I'VE SPOKEN OFF THE BOOKS ABOUT IT TO CHEVY EMPLOYEES.I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS. IT SEEMS AS IF THE TIMING OF THE DOWNSHIFT EVEN COULD BE THE ISSUE BUT I DON'T KNOW AND THEY WON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON OR A RECALL IS ISSUED. AND WHEN THE CAR BUCKS SOMETIMES THE BRAKES DON'T HAVE A TIGHT ENOUGH GRIP AND CAUSES THE CAR TO POUNCE AN INCH OR TWO.

Summary

WINDSHIELD HAS THOUSANDS OF TINY , WHITE SPECS ACROSS ENTIRE FIELD. THESE SPECS AT FIRST EXAM LOOK LIKE PAINT OVERSPRAY. BUT CLOSER EXAM WITH A FLASHLIGHT AT A LOW , SKIMMING ANGLE, REVELS IMBEDDED PARTICLES. IN LATE OR EARLY SUNLIGHT, THIS CAUSES A FOGGY APPEARANCE TO SHADED AREAS, LIKE TREES OR BUILDINGS. CLARITY IS ABSOLUTELY IMPEDED. RECENTLY AS I EXITED A FREEWAY, DRIVING WESTWARD INTO THE 7 PM SUN, I MADE A RIGHT TURN ONTO MY STREET AND ALMOST RAN OVER THE CURB AS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD BECAME A HAZE TOTALLY BLOTTING OUT CLEAR VISION OF THE CORNER. HAD THERE BEEN A PERSON OR ANY OBJECT IN THAT SPACE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THAT WAS A PANIC FEELING I DID NOT NEED ! THE GM DEALER EARLIER THAT DAY COULD NOT SEE IT WELL BECAUSE THE SUNLIGHT WAS STILL HIGH IN THE SKY THUS NOT CAUSING THE EFFECT . THEY TRIED TO INSPECT IT WITH A POCKET FLASHLIGHT, BUT NOT CONVINCED SI I HAVE TO RETURN TO THEM EARLY IN A MORNING OR LATE IN THE DAY TO GET THE SAME EXPERIENCE I HAVE DAILY . MY WIFE BEARS WITNESS TO THIS UNSAFE SITUATION . ITEM TWO: THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS SO SMALL IT IS RIDICULOUS. IT IS LIKE PEEPING THRU A CRACK IN A FENCE ! AND, ADJUSTING IT IS A TIGHT SQUEEZE FOR MY HAND WHERE THE HEADLINER COMES TOO CLOSE TO THE MIRROR.

Summary

I JUST BOUGHT A 2016 CAMARO WHICH HAD BAD MOTOR MOUNTS. WHICH THE DEALER DENIED. I DECIDED THAT I COULD NOT DRIVE A BRAND NEW CAR WITH BAD MOTOR MOUNTS SO I TRADED THE CAR IN FOR THE 2016 MALIBU. AFTER DRIVING THE MALIBU FOR A COUPLE WEEKS NOW, I NOTICED SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS OF MOTOR MOUNT PROBLEMS I'VE HAD IN THE PAST. CURRENTLY, I BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET'S OR GMS MOTOR MOUNT DESIGNS OR QUALITY, ARE IN LINE WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS. I'VE TRIED TO CONTACT CHEVROLET AND THEY'RE NOT PROVIDING ME WITH AN AVENUE TO START AN INVESTIGATION. I CAN CURRENTLY DEMONSTRATE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE, EXCESSIVE POWER TRAIN MOVEMENT ON MY CURRENT 2016 MALIBU WHICH I BELIEVE EXISTS ON OTHER MALIBUS AND OTHER GM MADE MODELS, LIKE CAMARO SS. I HAVE: TURNED OFF ENGINE, OPENED THE HOOD THEN PUSHED AND PULLED THE CAR BACK AND FORTH. THE POWER TRAIN MOVEMENT WAS QUIT NOTICEABLE. I MIGHT PUT A DIAL INDICATOR ON IT TO SEE EXACTLY HOW FAR. I'LL BE TAKING MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER TO GET THEIR WRITTEN WORD ON MY CURRENT COMPLAINT FOR WHICH I BELIEVE WILL RESULT IN 'THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAR' OR ITS 'WORKING AS DESIGNED'. AGAIN, I BELIEVE THE POWER TRAIN MOVEMENT TO BE OUTSIDE OF INDUSTRY STANDARDS. ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY WOULD BE ABLE TO DEEM OTHERWISE. I JUST SO HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT A POWER TRAIN MOUNT ISSUE FEELS LIKE. POWER TRAIN MOVEMENT DURING SHIFTS IS VERY EXTREME ON THIS CAR IN MY OPINION. THE AVERAGE PERSON WOULD THINK THAT IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF. HOWEVER, I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IT'S THE POWER TRAIN MOUNTS CAUSING IT TO FEEL LIKE A FIRM/JOLTING SHIFT. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF. DUE TO THE FACT I'VE HAD 2C 2016 CHEVROLET CARS WITH WHAT I BELIEVE HAD BAD POWER TRAIN MOUNTS, I BELIEVE CHEVROLET HAS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE. I'M HAPPY TO SHOW MY CAR'S ISSUE TO THE NHTSA

Summary

DURING A MODEST DECELERATION OR WHILE THE CAR IS COASTING TOWARDS A STOP WITH BRAKE DEPRESSED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL AT TIMES SEEM TO DOWNSHIFT IN AN UNSMOOTH WAY. SEEMINGLY SKIPPING GEARS DOWN. THE VEHICLE AT TIMES CAN COAST AT AROUND 1500 RPMS THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE RPMS JUMP TO ALMOST OR AROUND 3000 RPMS CAUSING A BUCKING SENSATION FOR THE DRIVER. BRAKE USE IS AFFECTED WHEN THIS OCCURS. WHEN THE VEHICLE BUCKS, THE BRAKE PRESSURE CAN CHANGE OR IS ENHANCED BY THE DOWNSHIFT. THIS CAN HAPPEN PRETTY REGULARLY DURING REGULAR DRIVING USE AND IS NOTICED MOST DURING SLOWER DRIVING SPEEDS (10 - 45 MPH) AND LIGHT BRAKE USE. HIGH SPEED BRAKING AND HEAVY BRAKE USE DO NOT HAVE THIS AFFECT AS MUCH. DEALER REVIEWED AND COULD NOT SEE ANY ISSUES. SUGGESTED REPORT TO GM - PERHAPS A SOFTWARE UPDATE CAN SMOOTH OUT SHIFTING. NOTICED FIRST TIME A DAY AFTER PURCHASE.
