My car is having issues driving over 60miles per hr, I have to keep pressing the gas to get the car to move, the car battery is dead and won-??t turn on, I got the car repaired twice and the second time I got it repaired, it just was even worse then before. The car smells like gas, the salesman only told me that I needed a value cover gasket and he had someone repair it, but when I went to auto zone, it was still cracked, I have a oil leak and my car eats up gas.

I purchased the car used and been driving one week. I was driving at approx 55-60 and attempted to accelerate going over hill. The car rpm went up to about 3000 and was reving high until I let of gas. I attempted again to push pedal which repeated same acceleration of rpm. I stopped and checked Trans fluid and oil both were fine. Pulled into drive and turned off ignition to check fluids again. Which were ok. Got back in car to move and had no reverse. Car would slowly go forward but Nothing else. In searching onstar ran codes and I found info about 3/5-r wave plate -€œservice bulletin-€. Had car towed to dealer who confirmed and said metal flakes in tranny and was due to -€œcommon issue of wave plate-€ Contacted gm several times and gm will not cover cost of tranny replacement because my car is inoperable. This is a -€œcommon problem-€ with 09 Malibu. Why isn-€™t it recalled tranny. Very sad I feel I-€™ll never buy a Chevy/gm product again

I was driving down the road ( a country backroad and not a highway luckily), and suddenly my car lost all power to the powertrain. I was going about 45 when it happened, and I lost power steering, all power to the motor, and my brakes were incredibly hard to push. After this happened, the car has a no start no crank condition. If I were in the middle lane of a highway, or a the right lane of a busy highway or freeway, or even just going around a sharp curve, I have no doubt that I would have wrecked.

I have had problems with this vehicle from day one. I filed a report previously and I am filing another one in reference to my power transmission. I have a 2009 Chevy Malibu, 4 speed, automatic. I was driving and the vehicle downshifted itself without my doing anything, almost causing an accident because it would not shift into high gear. Something popped in the vehicle and the gear shifted for a little bit and worked and then it happened again. I think the shifting cable may have fractured or separated. This was very nerve wracking, because it was in the late evening hours and traffic was extremely heavy. Now it is sitting in the driveway.

The service ESC light came on, then the power steering light came on. I was in motion at the time about to make a turn. After a few days of the problem being intermittent, my car wouldn't start at all. I tried to start it and nothing. Replaced battery and a engine power reduced light came on. Car still won't start.
