Engine failure. My car went completely out while driving home. The stabikitrak pop on, engine light pop on, brakes locked up making it hard for me to stop the car in traffic. I hope they are planning on doing something about this because I shouldn't have to be afraid for my life. This car is definitely not safe.

When shifter was placed into park in a public parking lot, the vehicle displayed a "shift to park" error and would not turn off. The issue continued despite two dealer repair attempts. I have been unable to shut off the vehicle in my garage, in my driveway, and at numerous public parking lots. Later, the vehicle smacked the brakes without driver input while I was driving on the highway and displayed a "stabilitrak" error. When I pulled into a parking lot and shifted to park, it again displayed the "shift to park" error and would not turn off. Eventually I was able to turn off the vehicle. When I restarted it, it displayed "stabilitrak" error and "power steering" error. I disabled the stabilitrak system in order to get back on the road because I was in a remote area with no place to get the car fixed. While driving, the vehicle would turn the stabilitrak system back on and smack the brakes. A few seconds later, the speedometer and tachometer dropped to zero while the vehicle was still moving on the highway, and the climate control system stopped working. This issue continued to repeat itself while I was driving the vehicle to the dealership for repair.

While driving on highway my "stabilitrak" light flashed on and I was unable to accelerate. I pulled over and while breaking the car was hopping. Turned the car off and back on and various lights came on (stabilitrak, check engine, traction control and steering assist). I attempted to start driving again and the car would not accelerate appropriately. Had it towed to dealership who couldn't find anything wrong with it because all the alerts had turned off.

Brakes or ESC complaint I am a grandmother who drives her granddaughters to and from school. As I and my granddaughter exited the freeway onto the service road, I pressed the brake pedal and slowed down. After going another 50 feet I pressed the brake to stop at the traffic light and the pedal went all the way to the floor board..quickly I pressed the pedal again and it went to the floor for the second time. The third time I pressed the pedal as hard as I could into the floorboard. There was a vibrating sound. Next, I pressed the pedal for the fourth time and felt the normal amount of resistance and it performed properly and stopped the car. I drove a few more blocks to my destination going 10 miles an hour with my hazard lights on. I called my road side assistance service to take the car to the dealership. The next day I explained the experience to the service department. They drove it and said they couldn't duplicate the experience. They drove the car several times but then said they could not find anything wrong so they were ready to give it back to me. I said I'm not ready to take it back and that they should be glad they didn't duplicate my experience, because, they might have hurt someone.. I called GM and they called the dealership. The service manager called me and said he drove it and it performed normally. I asked him to consult with the factory or try to get a brake specialist to look at it. And I told him I will not drive the car another inch until they know what happened and fix it. They did not give me a loner car so I have rented a car at $50 a day. I hope to get this resolved.

My 2016 Chevy Malibu has 93,000 miles on it. No issues until this day. Last week I was driving it in a neighborhood about 40 miles from my home. When I got to the neighborhood I had to apply my brakes. The brakes were locked at top of the pedal. I was unable to stop. Scared the [xxx] out of me! dropped the people off. Drove 3 blocks to a 7 11, scared to drive any further. Parked and the car died and would not start. Waiting 3 hours for the tow truck, finally got the Chevy Malibu and myself home a 5am. Had a mobile mechanic run a diagnostic on it. Multiple issues came up. Everything from multiple brake issues and even more engine issues. Had to towed to a Chevy dealership near by. Brake tech ran a diagnostic, said not brakes it's an engine issue. Engine tech says it 'maybe' timing or cam shaft. $2500 on a maybe, best they can tell from the diagnostic. From all the reviews I have read about this very same issue and the guessing game at owners expense. None of these have fixed the issues. While reading the reviews, I read 3 people have died from this very same issue. In addition GM has remove any and all warranty on this vehicle above the 36,000 miles. GM will not take any responsibility for the Chevy Malibu death trap which they are fully aware of. No recall, no repair support for the dealership that now is involved with this worthless product. My question for GM is how many people have to die before they will do anything about it? I say to the CEO of GM. I want one of your family members to have my car as there daily drive. But wait the engine will not even turn over. Nothing but a paperweight now. To all head honchos at GM I have large car parts the need to be placed were the sun don't shine. Take responsibility for your product!!! I will inform every website, social media and any forum possible about your products and your complete lack of ethics.

My car stabilitrak comes on every other 20 mins when driving. If I try to accelerate my cars check engine light will come on and then say engine power reduced almost stopping my vehicle on the interstate I can only drive it in town under 40 mph. Diagnostic showed nothing and of course no recalls but every recall Chevy has with the Malibu fits my model. Very disappointing. It has become very dangerous. Today I was headed to pick up my daughter from daycare and my brake pedal became very stiff and I could not stop causing me to roll through an intersection thankfully it was a green light and let the car roll until it stopped. I was terrified. I have not had the car long and it is a headache.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Within five months of owning the vehicle, the contact took it to more than one dealer because the vehicle jerked and made an abnormal noise. Integrity Chevrolet of chattanooga (2110 chapman rd, chattanooga, tn, 423-535-9455) and mountain view Chevrolet (310 E 20th St, chattanooga, tn, 423-266-0181) were contacted and the transmission was replaced within six months of owning the vehicle; however, the transmission continued to make an abnormal noise. The cause of the failure could not be determined. In addition, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard without warning. When it released, the brake pedal seized and caused the contact to drive through a red light, which almost caused a crash. The contact had to apply extreme force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. A passerby alerted the contact that the brake lights failed to illuminate. The manufacturer was notified and opened a case. The vehicle was not repaired and the failures continued. The contact was waiting for a response from the manufacturer.

2/2/18. Was traveling at 47 mph when a truck stopped in front of me. I was approximately 10 car lengths away. I hit the brake to stop, felt the pedal vibrate for a few seconds and then the pedal went to the floor and the vibration went away. Pumped the pedal again and slowed the vehicle and was able to get over to the right before hitting the truck. The air bags did not deploy, the auto stop feature did not work. The onstar did not activate.the roads were dry, and the road was flat. GM sent someone to retrieve the data from the computers, we have copies of the report. The data shows 5 seconds before the crash. According to the braking data, the brake was applied at 47 mph and the vehicle slowed but did not stop. After getting the vehicle back from the body shop, we had the codes pulled and found numerous codes in the different modules. There was a code U0415-71- invalid data received from electronic brake control module present as a history code. We took the vehicle to a Chevy dealer and they confirmed all the same codes. We had to take the car back to the original dealer that did the body work in case it was accident related. The second dealer is claiming that even though codes are present there is nothing they can find wrong. I believe the ABS failed on this vehicle and was the direct cause of the accident.

The failure mileage was 17,922...updated 10/13/17 the consumer stated the vehicle has an auto stop feature on it from the factory. When the vehicle comes to a stop, the feature causes the vehicle to shut down and restart. This can be very dangerous if stopping on an incline, as the vehicle would drift backwards.
