My car was running in the drive when it died and would not restart. Everything went dead. I had to jump start it and after that the airbag light came on. The airbags will not deploy in the event of an accident with this light on. I took my car to a Chevy dealer where I was charged $80 to be told that the SDM airbag module needs replaced and estimated cost for this is $1100. My car only has 108232 miles on it and to know that it could cost me either my families life or $1100 everytime the battery dies is not a choice anyone should have to make. Airbags are supposed to be the most dependable part of a vehicle as it saves so many lives. How do I know if they are even working with the light off if it is this sensitive" I am afraid to drive the vehicle even if I get it fixed and since I just purchased the car recently I owe to much to try to buy anything else. How can part of the safety equipment fail so easily and not be on recall? what would have happened if it had died while I was driving down the road instead of in the driveway putting the car into gear" after leaving the dealership it now has a new code but I am afraid to drive it to find out what else is wrong.

I got a recall notice stating risk: Rear toe link can cause loss of vehicle control and worse case of a risk.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

I was driving the vehicle when I heard strange noises. I then heard a loud noise and the car barely would move. When I got out of the vehicle, I saw the wheel was slanted. It was towed to a aaa repair facility where they discovered it was a broken toe link that had rotted. When it broke, it also bent a bar in the rear. The inspector said the same was happening on the opposite side and needed to be repaired.

When I first got the car it was less than 4 months of owing it 38,000 mile, and I had issues. When I would come to a stop and the auto stop/start would kick in my car would die. And at one time it smelt like a burning rubber. The initial time the car died and would not start. Called dealership mathews Buick in marion Indiana, had it towed but they could find what was wrong with it. Well it happened again not a few months later this time by the time I got to my home the serpentine belt busted from where the "auto stop/start feature" locked up and broke it in half. So few hundred dollars later "they said they fixed it" but I have had problems with it since then. Now my engine leaks dont know why, and my car wont even start. I could not even tell you what they fixed, but it cost me. I tried the lemon law but everything has to be in a certain time, and it has to be fixed so many times. I feel the dealership sold me a bad vehicle and knew it!! this car had nothing but caused me headaches all because of the auto stop/start feature. I hope you can help me because now my car does not run no power and I have been told it could be the altenator but apparently you can only buy parts from the dealership and just for that it is $900!! this covid-19 has caused me a hardship and now that I have a good job I have to rent a car for $800/month to get to work. I still owe on this car so I am making car payments on top of the rental. Please help these issues happen when I was driving. I am currently at sons house and all my paperwork is in storrage. I am unclear of the date it happened

The dash screen goes black and cuts power, disconnecting calls and blue tooth connection, and power steering. When this happens I am unable to turn the wheel. The wheel jerks back in place. This happens while the car is in motion. This has happened to me while on the freeway. It only cuts power for a few seconds and it comes back on but I am unable to control the car when this happens. I am also unable to move the steering wheel at all when this happens. This happened a few months back a few times and I contacted the dealership and they didnt know what to do with it because it wasnt happening at the time. It most recently happened yesterday on 12/10/2020.

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

- Auburn, ME, USA

Having problems with the eassist system. The auto stop function cause the car to stall and stop and shake sometimes while driving and stop at the light or stop sign I have to drive in manuel mode to drive the car. If the car not in part of it's neutral the car has rolled backwards off the parking pad. That happened just one time to me. After reading about other people reporting this, I keep the safety break on. Also I read about the recall on the E assist. I'm currently having the same issues but my VIN number is not included. I got the car used and only had it for a little over a year.

Code P2097 (post catalyst fuel trim system too rich bank 1) kept popping up I went to a aaa certified shop and they ran tons of tests on the car and they found that this code is common on Chevy Malibu's, Chevy came out with a guide to try and fix the code but doesn't guarantee it fixes the problem I got car fully inspected (fuel pressure, fuel ratio, mass air ratio etc) and got both oxygen sensors replaced and crankcase breather hose replaced about 5 miles after I leave the shop check engine light came back on and it's the same code. Chevy needs to address this common problem so many people are having

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

I am the 2nd owner of my 2013 Chevy Malibu ltz we bought at 19,000 miles, it has been in the shop more than any car I have had!! when I first got it the wheel bearings went out and not just one they went out one by one at end expenses of $900 at one time at xmas!! it's been running good now, it now has 130,000 miles on it. But from day one the rims have been peeling off they had some coating over it and it's slowly peeling off making my car look really bad!! I called Chevy and they refused to give me any replacement rims! now we are in the process of sand blasting them and painting them. But why Chevy wouldn't replace these ans make their own cars look cheap and crappy is beyond me!! I'm just hoping my car isn't going to have all these stalling issues that people are having! I plan to drive this car until it's a rust bucket!! lol ;-)

Radio quit working and won't come back on. I got in my car one day to go to work and the screen was blank and hasn't come back on since. It was working fine the day before no issues or anything odd happened before it went out. I've seen plenty of complaints about the radios going out.

- Washington Courthouse, OH, USA

I got a error message power steering issue, & then the key stuck in the steering wheel & won't come out. The vehicle was parked in my garage. I was getting ready to drive it. Now my car won't start & I still get the error message.

Bought the vehicle from merchants auto in Oct 2019 and within a week the car stalled to start. I called around Nov 2019 to set up an appt to have it fixed. They couldn't duplicate it so it couldn't be fixed. I went back on 2/15/20 and 5/29/20 and recently on 6/29/20. They still could not duplicate our call stalling and then shutting off when coming to a stop. We would have to give it gas mostly to start it up.last time I took it there they were able to come up with $700 worth of charges that were out of warranty so I had to pass because we don't have $700 and plus this was starting when we bought the vehicle.I wondered why they couldnt have come up with the same conlusion the first time that I brought it in or the 2nd time and the lady said she didnt know. I called quirk Chevrolet to ask about recall 13142 and the person I spoke to, informed me that since my VIN # doesn't fall under that recall that it cant be replaced. The recall describes what is happening to our vehicle and I don't understand why I cant have it replaced with the recall that is listed for my car. This is a known issues for 2013 Chevy Malibu and my car is not eco so it shouldn't be doing that at all. Our vehicle stalls at stop signs and stop lights..we have to put it in park..restart the car and then drive. Or we have to put it in neutral to not let the engine fail. It happens only when we come to a stop or when it idles. It is a safety issue and I am getting the run around. No one is willing to help or can figure out what is going on. Driving back from Maine yesterday and after a 5 hour drive we come to an exit and have to slow down if no stop and the car shuts off. This last happened on 7/5 around 5pm

I took it to the dealership and they can't figure out why it does that just shut down while you sit there in drive

- North Little Rock, AR, USA

My service engine light came on and my car has been jerking and has issues with accelerating. It acts like it wants to cut off but doesn't it just jerks repeatedly. I'm nervous to drive my car because I'm worried that it will cut off in traffic and cause an accident.

- Kalamazoo, MI, USA

While in the middle of traffic at a stop light the car shut completely off where my steering went out, the key was locked in the ignition and I had to get someone to help push the car into a parking lot for safety. The car has been jerking, will not pick up speed and if sitting at a stoplight too long, the car will shut off. When I put the car in reverse, the car either jerks or shuts off but then starts back up.

- Louisville, KY, USA

While driving my vehicle and I come to a stop the engine dies out. There is no check engine light or warning before this happens and it has almost caused an accident 3 times now. Even in stop and go rush hour traffic, as soon as I need to slow down the car stutters and then stalls. All the lights and radio stay on but the engine just shuts off. I have to quickly throw it into, park turn the key to off and restart the car everytime. This has been going on for a couple of years and I just dont know what to do anymore. I am not able to trade it in yet and I am afraid to sell it and this happen to someone else.

The car shuts completely off when driving. The steering wheel starts to lock in different places as you turn. All electronics shut off and sometimes cannot be restarted for days. You can be sitting in park and turn the steering wheel and it will still lock up. Not at the stopping point of the steering. Even if you try. A little. I also have a video of it happening it will not let you turn it at all. Unlock losing power steering makes it harder to turn but still possible. With this it stops completely like the car is shut off. When you switch your turn signal on and then turn all electronics and car shuts off until you turn the signal off or let go out the steering wheel. I have almost wrecked 4 times with kids in the car. I have personally read other people. Not just a few but at least 200 other people with this same problem. Currently looking into legal action against this before someone dies in a wreck because nobody wants to issue a recall.

When I was parked I was rolling the windows with the car running and all the lights and car was cutting off. While I'm driving I lose power all my dash lights go out and while making a turn the steering wheel locks up to where I can not correct myself from turning so I have to stop in the middle of the street until the power comes back on.
