- St Petersburg, FL, USA

The cars stop start function is malfunctioning and will completely turn the car off when engaged. I have almost been rear ended twice in the last two weeks due to this. This happens anytime the function is engaged. I just purchased the car March 17,2020

The vehicle stops while in motion and in driving gear then wheel lock up. Making it unable to proceed to turn or drive. This does not matter if on highway or public street. Had to have car towed to cottmans and the mechanic stated that this issue is known and was covered by manufacturers under codes P0011 and P2646. Your assistance is needed with resolving this matter as my car is not driveable.

The car ran well but not for long, after like 21/2 years the battery had some issues. The car did not start at all. I ended buying a new one, even though the old one could be charged. Like 9 months ago same situation battery not good. As if no electricity is throughout the system, bought a second battery. In 2 occasions the car did start properly. Two weeks ago driving, the car stopped at a traffic light because it just turned off for no reason! driving again the next week it stopped in the middle of the road. I had to pay for a tow truck.the car has not started properly but it then shuts down when I get it started, driving in my parking lot. I've had to push it back to my parking spot. At the end this car has left me in the road a lot of times.

While the vehicle was in motion in January 2020, the check engine light came on. The vehicle loses power while driving and then accelerates suddenly which is a hazard. I took the vehicle to the dealership and I was told the faulty part was GM# 12633613 rocker arm control-solenoid valve. The dealership friendly Chevrolet in dallas, tx told me they could not fix the car because the damaged part was obsolete. I have been in contact with Chevrolet and they gave me a case #9-5872869989 but as I try to follow up they don't answer my calls any more. Chevrolet just gave me some websites where to find the part, but none of the sites has the part and I continue driving with the check engine light on and at risk of an accident. I have not received any solution from Chevrolet and they have just sent me to look for the part in the aftermarket or junkyards. I have wasted countless hours looking for the part with no success. Please have the manufacturer recall the vehicle or start producing the part number again so my car can be fixed. I wont be able to pass the inspection or sell the car with the check engine light on.

When I come to a full stop at a red light or stop sign, when my car tries to use the auto stop feature the majority of the time it fails to start back on which causes it to fully turn off while the key is still turned and the car is in drive as if the car was still driving. I don't know what this problem is nor do I know what's causing it. I changed my spark plugs thinking that might of been the problem but it still continues to do the same malfunction. Please help.

Got code P16cf, malfunction of rocker arm oil control valve. Came on while driving, now unable to buy part.

- Onalaska, WI, USA

I took my car to two dealerships. My check ebgine light I on. They said I needed a rocker arm valve solenoid. Part no. 1633613 but cannot seem to find rhat part.

- Charlotte, NC, USA

The check engine light came on and the code reader showed that the variable timing solenoid needs to be replaced. After searching for a replacement part, I keep getting told that this make/model consistently has this problem. The engine light comes on, the car loses power and seems to have a tugging feel when driving especially when accelerating. This happens both with in town driving and freeway driving. Happens at any speed.

- Wapato, WA, USA

Part no. 12633613 which is a valve is currently on national back order. There are currently 23,000 customers waiting for this part. This part should be recalled it's not possible that 23,000. Parts are defective and not be recalled. Nobody (dealership or GM) seems to know when to expect the part, won't say who makes the part or why it's on national back order.

This car is equipped with the auto stop/auto start feature. Meaning when you come to a complete stop the car shuts down, then when its time to go by releasing the brakes it will restart and move again. With my Malibu it will auto stop constantly and when the light turns green it won't restart for sometimes minutes at a time. Holding up traffic behind me and creating chaos. I have to put the car in park mode, pull out the key, reinsert the key and try to start it. Sometimes it restarts after one time of doing this, but most of the time it takes several tries to finally getting it started. It started doing this about 2 months ago and seems like its getting worse. I feel like this is a huge safety issue, and am concerned for my safety and those of others in my car at the time. Please investigate into this matter, thank you.*

I own a 2014 Chevy Malibu. It currently as of today (1/8/2020) is in its extended warranty. The part my vehicle needs to function again is a: intake rocker arm oil control valve, part# 12633613. This part is no longer in production by GM and according to them no one makes the part so they are unable to fix the vehicle. The only remedy they offer is to take the broken car as a trade in when I purchase a new vehicle from them. They refuse to offer any sort of refund or replacement. The car was manufactured in 2014. It's not an old car.

Rocker arm control valve- GM part # 12633613. Causes chugging, shuddering, slow acceleration, delay when going from a stopped position (I.e. stop light/ sign), poor gas mileage. Check engine light remains on and will not allow for remote start to be used. Driving at any rate of speed over 15 mph, either in town or highway/ interstate, the engine will chug or try to stall. Also going over 45 mph, will cause the vehicle to shudder when driving. Acceleration is delayed, causing issues while at intersections

The engine light came on with AP2646 code. After attempting to repair, and the code remaining I attempted to find part 12633613. Unable to locate the part I brought it in to a garage. They replaced the same part I had already replaced, and still the engine light remained. They were also unable to locate the referenced part online or through a dealership (mangino Chevrolet). I contacted several dealerships and GM, the party is discontinued and back ordered at parts stores and dealerships. Without this part, the car can not be inspected and becomes a safety issue, and S legal issue of continued to operate on the road (in NY and elsewhere I imagine). The part is faulty on many cars if the back order is an accurate indication. Although it does not prevent safe operation of the car, the car can not be inspected overall for safety until the engine light is fixed.

I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu ls. About a year ago while at a stop light the car engine shut stopped working, and all the lights came off. I had to get the assistance of a police officer to control traffic away from my car, until the tow truck arrived and towed it to the shop. I was told that the auxiliary battery was bad, and had it replaced. The car it worked well. In August of this year the car engine began shutting off, while I was driving, and sometimes after it was parked overnight. I had the batteries checked, and was told that they were bad. I live in AZ, and the weather here is very hot, both were replaced on August 27th and 28th, less than 2 months ago, with two new batteries. The car worked well up until this evening, when it shut down completely as I was driving into my yard. All the lights came off, and I cannot get the key out of the ignition. I am glad that it happened when I entered my yard and not while I was driving on the freeway. Will tow it to the shop in the morning to find out what the problem is now.
