I bought this car & did not even have it a month and the sunroof would start to close and then would stop and open or get stuck half way open. When trying to get this to close the sunroof would close without putting being pressed. The wiring harness failed and was bad.

The vehicle is driving normal and suddenly shuts down for no apparent reason. Upon parking, you try to start the car, and it won't. wait for approx. 30 mins and the car starts but a bit rough first and then drives.

My Malibu only has 34K miles on it and is meticulously cared for. On August 10th, I went to start it. It would not start or turn on the lights. So I trickle charged it and 4 hours later when it finally turned on I had the battery checked. The battery is fine. However, the stabilitrac is not coming back on along with my cruise control and lane assist. The back up camera, back up camera lines, crash aversion sensors, and screen were not working properly for the majority of the 10th of August after the car came back on. The sreen has had issues in the past as well with not turning on along with showing the proper time, temperature, and more.

My shift to park indicator displays on the dash when my car is already in park. The car can't be turned off until the indicator goes off. I usually change gears and put back in park or push it harder while it is already in park. I had this repaired on 9/14/18. The Chevy dealership replaced the transmission control shift level selector. It is now doing it again. It started that shift to park again on 8/7/2020.

The day before the car's dashboard said that the car's power assist was turning off. The next morning as I was going 75 miles per hour on the highway the car said that engine was reducing power and speed reduced to 45 mph. The check engine light suddenly went on and it was a very dangerous situation that could have killed me.

The main issue with my vehicle is that when the vehicle is parked and I turn the car off the front panel will say that the vehicle is not in the parked position and won't allow the car to turn off. I have to push the start button on and off multiple times and shift the car in and out of park before the sensor can gauge that the car is in the parked position and will allow the car to be turned off. This often takes 5-20 min. When this happens the radio won't turn off, the dash board won't turn off and car won't shut down. Also the car often gives me incorrect readings on the dash board.

Car will not shut off as it does not register that the vehicle is in park when shifted to the park position.

- Mentor, OH, USA

When I place the car in park and hit the button to turn the car off it keeps telling me the shift to park when the car is off. I will have to turn it off and on multiple times to get the message to stop showing up. I will have to shift it to drive and park multiple times as well to get the message to go away. This has been happening for some time now.

It's amazing me reading all the complaints about this issue and GM hasn't issues a recall. However, I purchased a 2016 Chevy Malibu used about a year ago. Within the year, I've had my acceleration pedal be faulty, my car speed will drastically reduce from 60-70mph to 20-25mph which as I'm sure everyone knows is a safety hazard. Then less than 2 weeks later, the same thing happened but this time it was the alternator. Now not even 2 months later, my stop/start is malfunctioning. If I brake and the car turns off, my 'start' function does not start! I have to shift the car to park, turn the car on, then shift back to drive. All of which is dangerous! obviously, these complaints are not being read or are not being taken serious because I just read multiple complaints similar to this. On top of it all, because of everything I don't feel safe driving a car I paid for! and none of these issues are not my doing yet I'm the one in the dealership paying for it.

When stopping and auto stop kicks on the car shuts down and the check engine light comes on. Then it has to be put in to park and restarted. Turn signals and radio have no sound working and sometimes there is a steering assist warning message appears. I changed my battery several months ago and this has happened to me several times and I've also had the alternator checked and it's fine as well. After turning the vehicle off and restarting the blinker has sound and the radio works. I'm also unable.to use bluetooth services when all the above happens.

Car will not shut off. Even after I put the car in parking position - there is an error that comes up when I try to turn the car off using the on/off button. The error message is 'shift to park' even when the car is in park. This happens every time when I turn off the car. I would shift the gear multiple times back and forth till I can get it to turn off but now its getting worse.

- Houston, TX, USA

When I press the gas it hesitate to move forward and also my battery sensory has gone out. My car is only 4 years old I believe it has something to do with it being an eco which has caused major issues to my transmission and other parts of my car.
