The contact owns 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. While parked, the contact attempted to start vehicle but the vehicle would not start. The contact attempted to charge the battery however, the vehicle would not fully charge. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure. The contact was informed that the battery charging system needed to be replaced. The contact then drove the vehicle to tropical Chevrolet (8880 biscayne blvd, miami shores, fl 33138) who stated the failure was an engine failure and not a failure to the battery charging system. The battery was replaced however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of failure. The failure mileage was 103,000.

Each time I stop at a light or stop sign my vehicle statr vibrating, my RPM starts moving and my car dies. I restart it, but my service engine light never comes on. The dealership can't find the problem without a code.

I came to a complete stop at a stop sign and my car shut off. I turned it back on and it drove. I was at a red light and my car started to stall and shut off. This has happened a few times. I was on a local street. I searched this up on GM website and quite a few people have had the same problems with no resolution

I was traveling on 294 South using cruise control at 70 mph when the car started losing power but all internal app lights like the radio remained on and the steering wheel was still functional. Once the vehicle was put in parked it shut off. Only issue lights that appeared 1 week prior was the ABS sensor had malfunctioned on the front left tire. I attempted to jump the battery but it did not respond. Car had been parked and a friend who works on cars believes the engine is dead even though there shows 23% of oil left and no other symptoms of a blown engine. I have been goodland 2013 Chevy Malibu eco issues and other than potentially the starter it could be the computer that has died. I changed out the battery and it turns everything on, but struggles to crank and remain on. I came across several links regarding a recall due to computer, but honestly don't know if its even that. Mechanic friend believes it could also be the ECM.

Check engine light keeps needing to be reset by dealer

- Mansfield, TX, USA

For the past two years my car has been consistently burning oil between oil changes to the point where there is less than a quart in the engine. As of April 2020 I have had to add approximately two quarts of oil each week in between the oil changes in order to maintain a proper level of oil in the engine. My mechanic replaced a solenoid because there was a code saying it needed replaced in April. The engine light does not come one, however the engine will click or knock loudly after driving it approximately 60 miles after adding oil to it. My mechanic stated this is an ongoing issue with the 2013 Chevy Malibu eco. I am aware of several people who had this same issue and eventually had to replace their engine at their cost. All owners of 2012-2014 Chevy eco Malibu.I have been told by the Chevy dealer in my town that this is a known issue to GM and yet they will not issue a recall nor cover the cost of engine replacement. (this issue also happened with hyandui sonata's and Hyundai did replace the engines for those with this issue of burning oil at an accelerated rate.

While driving the car will shut down unexpectedly, causing a panic situation!

- Toms River, NJ, USA

While driving the whole car turned off. Steering wheel locked up, engine cut off, and light went out. This has been happening for a couple of months now. While I'm driving the car will shut off. It has done this while I have been on the highway and also in the city. This is very dangerous. Can not figure out the issue.

Is been a few times when I'm in a light and when I'm about to take off the car like holds up and it doesn't wants to move forward unless I hit the gas harder or just park it and shut it off and is been smoking trough the a.C. in less then 6 months I had to repair sertain stuff 3 times. First I took it to replace the fan assembly hybrid battery and a new hybrid battery the oil filter and the oil gasket cause it was leaking oil and update the software. I took it out in 3 weeks it was back in the shop cause I had to replace the timing chains and high pressure fuel pump and preform a system scan wich found that there is a mechanical issue with the engine and also the high fuel pressure was making slot of noise. And put a new high pressure fuel pump a high pressure fuel pipe. I spencer a few dollars on that. I took it out it was ok till it started growing smoke trough the a.C again it keeped holding back on me in the lights and it shuted off on me twice in were I had to hit parking and shut off and back on so it can work. And finally woke I'm driving on South 95 in 60mph the car started smoking trough the a.C then it made this loud noise in the motor so when I pulled over on the highway I see that all my motor oil had spilled in the floor and the motor started to smoke like crazy and the car indicated me to shut off motor. I had to tow my car home and park it to get it fix again. But is crazy cause in less then 6 months all this happened and is still parked to B fixed.

Car stalls when stopping at stop signs.. when turning lose power lights, radio, and steering. Has happened 4 times this year..

- Gulf Shores, AL, USA

My Chevy Malibu stalled out on 3 occasions now. This occurs after being at a stop and applying pressure on the gas to place the car back in motion. I was nearly struck by an oncoming vehicle on 2 occasions when the car stalled out. Would have had ample time at a green light had the vehicle not stalled. Power steering is lost when this occurs. I have to power off and repower the vehicle to get started again, resulting in smoke coming out from under the hood and a smell of burnt rubber.

- Austin, TX, USA

The air bag light and the engine light came on right after I left the dealership. At that moment I really didn't know a lot about cars and the sales person told me they fixed my issue and that I should be fine with the vehicle. I can get my engine light taken care of since it was my fault, but I see so many recalls out on the same type of vehicle for the airbag and there is none for mine. I really need assistance with the airbag and I believe it is a recall.

My car continues to lose power and with it comes so many electrical issues. Brake assist wont disengage, no power beyond engine idling, and the service battery charging system continues to pop up even though it and the battery in the trunk were replaced by the dealer. I've had this car for a month and it's given me nothing but problems.
