This has happened a few times to me now. I was heading home on the highway with the cruise control set on about 67 mph and all of the sudden the engine lost power and the car starts coasting. "engine power reduced" came across the computer display. Like I said, this has happened before. I could pull over to a stop, shut off the car and it would reset, and the car would be fine for me to make it home. But this last time, the car would not restart at all. I got the car towed home, checked the battery, the cables, and even replaced the starter, and it still does the same thing.... starter will not engage to turn the motor over to start.

I was driving and then came to a stop to pull on a major highway. When I turned on the high way my Malibu wouldn't accelerate and acted as if it was in neutral, as a semi pulled up behind me I had to put it almost in a ditch so I wouldn't get hit. My mechanic says its the 3,5, R wave plate and that he looked at all the Malibu forums online and found out that many people have had this happen. I contacted GM and they told me there was nothing they could do. Never buying a Chevy again.

One of my new tires continually deflate.

In 2yrs, I've paid $1200 F/warranty plus $150 deductible@authorized service ctr-pinkerton chev in lynchburg, va-and it took 3 weeks that I had to bum a ride to work or pay a cab. Now, I'm riding on a "donut" and my gas mileage is <8mpg........w/a $389 car note and $200 car insurance note.

While the vehicle is at idle (stop light), the engine surges and sputters and the service traction control / ecs lights appear on the dashboard and the check engine light illuminates. The car will then accelerate very slowly only up to about 20 mph. I had the car fixed at a GM dealer about a year ago for a vehicle recall on the main body wiring connector to BCM. Note: The GM fix is to "clean" the connector and add dielectric grease to prevent corrosion. The car was fine after that until now. I've seen many of the same complaints on the internet regarding this issue and I believe the "fix" is only temporary.
