Transmission failure, car will turn off on interstate or highway without warning, car will shut down while driving, roll backwards, won't accelerate. Had to get towed 3 times! after new transmission, sensors and fuel pump injector, the car is still doing the same thing ! this is a safety hazard and a lack of responsibility for defected products and price gauging mechanics ! problem is still existing. I see this car is under many recalls and the transmission was built in Korea!

Takata recall my 2010 Chevy Malibu was in park and turned off. Turned on the car put it in drive and drive tondrive forward and the car wouldn't move. It sounds like it's accelerating but the car won't move at all. Put car in park and it will reverse fine. Goes into park and works in neutral. Anytime I try to go forward the car won't go anywhere. It's not making any sounds everything sounds normal. I have been told I need a new transmission by a couple different car shops and that the trasmossion cooling pipe is broken by Chevy.

Takata recall my car made a hum sound while accelerating when I just got in it on my 2 minute journey home. While going straight, the car no longer continued to accelerate and stopped on the street. After restarting the car, the engine light turned on and would still not move in any gear.

- Youngstown, OH, USA

While driving the car through a intersection the car seemed to loose power. The car was able to only be moved when put into 2nd gear with the manual mode. Reverse was gone. This happened all of a sudden with no issues to the transmission before hand.

My right front headlight (regular low beam) keeps going out and having to be replaced. My mechanic replaced it in July of this year, and again in October, and it is out yet again, not even two months later. My mechanic can't find any reason for it. In addition, my service air-bag light is on, although it's never gone off, and the entire transmission had to be replaced at about 63,000 miles. Regarding the light - so far, I've been lucky that it hasn't contributed to any kind of accident, especially since deer are very active at this time of year and are very common in our area.

We only have Chevy's however our Malibu 2010 with only 73,000 miles while driving on the interstate at 65mph it suddenly stopped going. You can accelerate but it doesn't not go forward or back. It was late when it went out and a very dangerous situation. Our car was purchased and maintained from dealer and at this mileage with no warning, no noise, no fluid leak, nothing. Situation is very frustrating. I'm not sure I'm a GM fan anymore we will see how the respond to this situation.

- Conyers, GA, USA

Car just stopped without warning! very scary situation! fortunately no other car crashed into me but that would've been a likely scenario. Not only a costly repair but an extreme safety issue. $3400 to repair! apparently and unfortunately I'm not alone. Chevy should step up and help us all out. Like many others, never a Chevy again!

Have a 2010 Malibu with approximately 112,000 miles on it. Car is well maintained and has had regular maintenance / vehicle inspections (including a week prior to incident). I was out running errands and had stopped at a stop light. A few minutes later as I was turning on to the highway, the car jolted forward and then refused to accelerate. Fortunately, I was able to maneuver it over to the side of the highway without any problems. Car could not be driven and had to be towed to my mechanic and it was determined that my transmission was shot and would need to be replaced. Very costly repair that needed to be done as it is my only vehicle. Seems to be an issue with 2010 Malibu that needs to be addressed!!!

I was driving at a speed of 40 mph when all of a sudden I heard a high revving sound as if another vehicle was right beside me passing and soon realized that it was my car revving with the RPM gauge going above 3 and my car slowing down. Moments later my passengers and I felt a sudden "jerk" and the car jetted forward only to start revving again and this time I was merely moving at about 20 mph as I was still in shock from the first revving and non-accelerating moment. After trying helplessly to get the car to move at a speed of at least 15-20 mph, I decided to stop/restart the car and try using the manual shift. It gave another sudden "jerking" movement and moved in M5 but not even 10 seconds the car started with the loud revving sound as if I were mashing gas which I wasn't and we barely made it home at about 10mph using hazard lights. We basically had to push it over 2 very small speed bumps on the way in the gate. I decided to take it to the autonation shevy dealership where I bought it but unfortunately the car would not move and instead had to be towed there. Autonation Chevy did a "diagnosis" of sorts and within moments called to say that there is metal in the transmission and I need to pay a whopping $4,300 to have it fixed. Of course I could go on about how frustrating and humiliating this whole ordeal has been from beginning to $$$$ end bud I'd appreciate it if Chevy can reach out to me because I have a friend who said she had the same issue with her Malibu. I'm sure there are others out there but I'm now wondering if Chevy wants to wait until god forbid a dire situation occurs before they fix this problem.

My 2010 Malibu 2lt 6 cylinder engine has a wave plate failure. This causes revving of the engine non-movement low speeds and it comes and goes as it wants. General Motors has not included this even though this car was built in 2009. In which an extended warranty was issued for this ecact problem see GM bulletin # 14404 this dangerous and also a very expensive repar.

- Houston, TX, USA

Malibu decreases speed and downshifts and engine power reduced comes up in message center, no bumps, hard braking, no carwashes, simply driving down the road at 45mph and car illuminates engine light. Several parts have been replaced already for example throttle body, knock sensor, maf sensor, battery, fuse box, accelerator pedal all of these parts and my issue still persists. Several complaints have been made for this year make and model therefore I do not feel like this is an isolated issue.

- El Mirage, AZ, USA

Defective door latches. Both driver side front and back door problems since I purchased my 2010 Chevrolet Malibu back in 2012. Driver door would not open or not shut. Contacted GM twice and no assistance from GM. I purchased a aftermarket door latch and replaced the driver door latch in Jan 2018 and have no more problem since. Driver back door I have not been able to open since 2015 and because the back door wont open, there is no way to replace the latch. If a fire or accident happens there is no exit from drivers side back door. Without warning on a 7 year old vehicle, the transmission failed in Aug 2017 136000 miles. Expensive replacement.

I was driving on the I89 North in concord, nh when the car suddenly stopped accelerating and the rpms went really high. I heard a spinning noise - like something was spinning at a high rate of speed. Pressing the gas peddle didn't increase the cars speed. Then I shifted to the manual mode and tried to use the gear shifting paddles to shift. I was able to get it to a gear to get me to the next exit even though it kept shifting in and out of gear while I proceeded slowly off the highway. The check engine light came on steady. At highway speeds this was a very dangerous situation that put myself and everyone around me at risk of a major accident. Once I was off the highway and safe, I plugged in my diagnostics tool I carry in my car (I took a auto repair class a few years back). The diagnosis codes the cars computer provided are P0776 and P0700 - indicating a major malfunction of the transmission and a solenoid problem. I took a photo of the codes. I found out today that there is an extended warranty for the same issue on the 2009 Chevy Malibu's. the extended the warranty from 5/100K to 10/120K. Clearly GM should do the same for the 2010 models as well. It's the same 6 speed transmission.
