When going to start the vehicle with foot on the brake pedal and push start button it makes a click sound and shows a check engine light as well as stability control message appears in the dash. It's not an issue of a dead battery or faulty starter. It happens once or twice a day. When I come back about a hr later I again apply the brake pedal and push the start button and after a few tries of it reading the same check engine stability control message it starts up. Along with this happening when I'm driving and come to a stop at a stop sign or traffic light, the auto stop engages as it should only the vehicle completely dies. But when I let off the brake it doesnt start back up as normal. Only to have to put it in park and apply the brake and hope it starts back up. After reading into this on various forums this seems to be a common recurring issue. Only no answers as to why or what causes this problem.

I took the car to the mechanic because of check engine light car wasn't acting weird or anything. They recommended replacing multifunction power supply converter, it has internal issues I approved they told me everything is fine everything cleared. The next day the vehicle started to go crazy I stated that engine light is on again car lounges forward and that the doors lock and unlock all while driving and car then just stops I had to restart it. They recommended replacing battery I approved.the same day I picked up my car check engine light showed but the next day car started to be it self again so I kept it didn't take it in.a week later the same symptoms car jolts forward, it locks and unlocks when driving and car turns off completely this time they recommended replacing negative battery cable I approved. 30 minutes after leaving the mechanics, car has the same exact previous symptoms but now car went beyond crazy, car was on drive but won't accelerate, break, and steering wheel locked, dash said (service stabilitrak) (ice possible) it hot outside. It happens when I get off freeways, when I'm driving on regular streets: Doors locks and unlocks dash always say check rear door locks the, car lunges forward and then car just stops and won't go I have to turn it off then on again. Just imagine if car completely stop in a freeway, I'm lucky that it gives me a warning when I hear the locks go crazy I pull over I then able to drive it slowly home and all the way home car jolts towards locks are going crazy and car stops frequently in the middle of the streets. Then I'm able to take it to the mechanics like nothing ever happens to it. Goes back to normal with no check engine light like nothing ever happened.

Around 50,000 miles sensor on throttle pedal went out and caused my car to stop accelerating with my kid in the car in the middle of the road driving. Next at 74,000 my 2016 Chevy Malibu lt 1.5L turbo has a cracked piston. I believe recall 17019 stochastic pre egnition should be linked to my VIN. First service stabilitrak comes on with a glowing icon showing a car with wavy lines underneath it. Then code reading P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire) went through the checklist, spark plugs, coils, fuel injectors all fine. Checked the compression of cylinder one and it's gone. Cylinder one has no compression it doesn't work. I saw this is happening to many people with the 1.5L turbo GM tried perfecting and still doesn't know how to fix besides replacing the piston or motor. Both times I was driving my car. Once I noticed the stabilitrak and check engine light I went home and left the car in the garage in hopes there wasn't damage. I researched and found out GM knew this whole time and no one told me. Their trying to say my car isn't on that recall but I strongly believe that my car is exactly that 17019 stochastic pre egnition recall.

The car stalls in traffic, losing all power. It doesn't start sometimes. Everytime I take it into the dealer the issue doesn't occur and they claim the computer is coming back clean. However, it dodent fo this all the time it can go weeks and drive just fine but at any given time will lose all power and shut off in the middle of traffic and done days take a very long time to start. It's very scary when your in traffic in the car shuts off then all the warning lights come on from stabilizer bar warning, to engine light. It's dangerous and scary with my child in the car at times on san diego highways. A car should not just shut off or take forever to start when everytime I take it to the dealer they claim the readings are fine. I also see I'm not the only one having this problem with this year and model. GM Chevrolet want be satisfied until someone is seriously hurt with this issue losing power while driving.

Takata recall - I have been having problems locking, unlocking, and turning on my car. When the car finally gets turned on it will say that the keys are not detected. Or when I put it in drive it will tell me to turn the car off and then turn it back on. Takata recall - about once a month when I turn my car on, a loud buzzing noise comes on for around 30 seconds.

I have taken my 2016 Malibu premier 2.0 turbo to the dealership four times now for the same problem with the park assist sensors going out. Now, they are out again, and the dealership wants me to pay a $250 deductible for my extended warranty to cover the repairs. I am not agreeing with this because this is the fourth time I have had my car in the dealership for repair of this same component. Now the service advisor has contacted me saying the entire module has to be replaced due to a short in the system itself. I purchased the car Sept. 21, 2016, it should not be having this problem over and over again so soon, now I have to pay a deductible for the same work to the done that should have been fixed properly the first time I brought the car in for this repair, instead of a simple system update. These park assist sensor alerts when someone is walking in front or behind the vehicle, as well as another vehicle being in a 'blind spot". the alert is especially helpful at night, when in an area with pedestrians and small children, and backing out of parking spots.

Takata recall: I've been having an issue with my 2016 Malibu it will stop and take a few minutes to start up. While driving it will go in safety driving mode and I can't go on faster than 20 miles. I haven't had my car for a year before it start giving me problems. I didn't make it on time before my warranty expire. Right at this time I can't afford to pay to get it fix 380... after calling the dealership and spoke with the manager he stated that my car is the 3rd complaint about the same issue. I have 4 sons and I really don't like when it shut down on us while I'm driving. This issue happen atleast 3 times a week...

This car totally cut off on me (stalled, all power everything shut off) more than once within an hour while driving, at least 30mph on a major street. Took it to the dealership because it is still under warranty and they are telling me there is nothing they can do because they can't duplicate the issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving various speeds on wet and snow covered pavement with the electronic stability control activated, the rear of the vehicle became unstable and fishtailed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (rodenroth Chevrolet in sault sainte marie, mi), but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was offered. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 9,000.
