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.

My car will be in park and the engine is shut off but the display will indicate that the vehicle needs to be in park. I will have to start my car several time and switch the gears several times for the indicator to go off. This will go on sometimes for approximately 5 minutes. I have attempted to put on the emergency brake in hopes that this will rectify the problem to no avail. This has happened several times at the store and in my driveway.

When I shift my car into park & turn my car off, I get a warning light that says 'shift to park' which happens almost every time I go to turn my car off. Very recently my car is also turning on the backup camera when shifting to drive. The shift to park issue has been going on for a month now but the backup camera coming on had just started 4 days ago. The day I bought my car it was brand new but could not bring it home the day I signed the paperwork because the dealership had to replace the body module. Now, after my car being in the shop 9 times in 2 years, the dealership is telling me I'm responsible for the repairs. Note: My car is push stop not key

My Malibu all of sudden started sending a message when I go to turn the car off that my car needs to shift to park. I have the car in park, but it is not registering it is in park. It doesn't happen all the time, it happens 90% of the time when I go to turn the car off.

I decided to lease a 2016 Malibu of February 2016. The car was great until months later I started to have problems. I was driving to school on the freeway in October 2016, when my car suddenly went into reduce speed engine. I was driving approximately 65 to 70 mph. I was in the left lane of the freeway. As I was driving my car dashboard display reduce speed engine, then immediately my car went from 70 mph to 30 mph to 20mph. I manage to get my car to the emergency lane of the freeway. The problem was fixed that following week, with complications of trying to get a rental car so I can go to work and school. 2017 October 31st, I was driving to go pick up my son from school. I was on a major street. My car went into reduce speed engine. I was driving 35 mph. My car went from 35 to 20 mph's again. I managed to pull into a near bank. Shaken up I parked my car and turn it off and then back on within five minutes. The light was still display on my dashboard. I drove to my son school. I couldn't drive over 10 mph. It normally take 10 minutes to drive to my son school it 25. It took even longer to get back home. November 30th, same problem happen again. While driving on a major highway. Once again I was in the left lane driving the reduce speed engine came on. My car slowed down. I had cars behind me honking their horns at me nearly causing a few accidents. I manage to get off the freeway. I did not want to be stuck on the freeway while it was dark. I was stranded at a nearby gas station for close to two hours. The problems I keep having with this car is dangerous. I refuse to drive a vehicle that can potentially cause me or my son our lives.

I purchased the car in June of 2016 and have had multiple electrical/software issues with the vehicle. The latest issue is a complete shutdown of the entire infotainment center, including causing the blinkers to go silent. Some of the issues with the car seem to pose much more of a critical safety issue and I feel obligated to report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding my issues with engine power failure. There have been multiple recalls regarding the ignition stop/start function, the battery monitor module timer, and even the entire engine control module. I was on the highway and the engine power failed, fortunately I was able to exit I-94 safely. This vehicle and entire experience has me feeling financially violated and physically unsafe.
