For the past two years my vehicle has been to the dealership 6 times for the same issue. On multiple occasions the car while traveling both on the highway and in the city the check engine light comes one and it goes into reduced power mode. On the highway this can be a huge issue. After multiple 'fixes' it's seems to be ok. However on 10/3/2019 while sitting at a red light the auto stop feature kicked on. Nothing new there however when I took my foot off the brake the car completely stalled and the doors all unlocked. After about 10 seconds it started back up again. Now the auto stop doesn't kick on at all and the car will not let me use auxiliary power. The car is only 3 years old and shouldn't have this many issues. When I take it to the dealer they put it on the computer and say nothing is wrong. What is it going to take for GM to fix this issue in these Malibu's" is someone going to have to be injured"

I own a 2016 Chevy Malibu and one of its features is an auto stop/start feature in the car. When this car enters this mode when I take my foot off of the break it is supposed to start again but when I take my foot off of the break it will just completely shut down, when I try to start the car again it will just stall. I was involved in an accident on June 9th 2019 where the car cut off and rolled back into another vehicle. This is just one occasion of the car cutting off on me and becoming immobile. I was told it was a battery issue and a wiring issue I've gotten both addressed but it still happens. I've received a letter from Chevy that may address the issue but I have to see. My car currently won't start. Today is September 24,2019

On Sept 6th 2019, as I am travelling to work in the morning around 7:15am at the signal point my car suddenly shutdown off and all my car doors locked up and I tried in pulling out but it takes me sometime to figure that out. This is not my first time. When I bought my car I had one year of manufacturer warranty but when it is completed my car started failing off the engine suddenly. I take my car to dealer but he told me there is nothing problem with that issue. But it is repeating the same issue.

I have had my vehicle for 2 years since day 1 I have had issues with the vehicle from control arms, electrical in doors and car systems, throttle body, stability traction control. I think the car has been in the shop well over 12 times with at least 5 times being the throttle body where the car just looses power and your unable to drive more than 40 mph. It generally would happen on the freeway. I would pull over and have to turn my car off and sit and then turn it back on. The above issues with this car is just to name a few. By the way I purchased the vehicle at 27,000 miles so there is no reason why these issues should continuously be happening. I have called Chevy numerous of times complaing that this vehicle is something wrong with it. I believe they have just about replaced every part except for the brakes, engine and transmission and I a sure those are going to be next. I could go on and on about this vehicle however, it is definitely something wrong. I just took it in for check engine light again and noise from rear end sounding like a strut. And they found issue with key thob causing check engine light, leaking strut, and bad wheel bearings. Now that just adds more to the list. Not to mention I get home and the check engine light is back on again and the noise is slightly still there. I have plenty of records I just have to much to upload here, but if someone could please look into my situation. This has truly been a nightmare. We cannot even drive the car on the freeway to far because we are scared we may get stuck.

I park, place the shifter into park and turn the car off but a message appears on the gauge cluster screen saying shift into park. The engine is off but the lights and radio stay on. The shifter is locked and will not move. The same screen shows that the car is in park before I shut the car off, I can feel the transmission shifting too. I have to turn the car back on and run through the gears and back off several times to make it shut off. Seems to happen more often on shorter trips. I went to the dealer they have a part on order seems to be a known issue but I'm just out of warranty. I have had the car for 2.5 years just over 35K miles and it just started.

This issue happens at random times. When I crank up, when I'm at a traffic light, or even just at a stop sign, sometimes my car will turn completely off. It will crank back up, sometimes, but sometimes it takes quite a few times. Also, again as I crank up. It goes back to off. Instead of going to auto stop, it will cut completely off too. I have no engine light or any other lights that come on to alert me that something is wrong but it happens randomly and has been happening more frequently and it is concerning. Also, it feels like the car is kicking or firing back now when I am driving. This is random also.

My car just stopped cranking and its like I have all the power turned off, I was in my yard. I thought it was the battery, changed it still no change. My airbag repair light keeps coming on and my car had been running fine all day fine until I parked it and everything stopped.

Since I bought this car new in 2016 I have had to replace the vcm 4 times. Nothing seemed to fix the problem. The stop/start never worked right. Three times over the last month, after various repairs at the dealership, the car has completely stopped while driving and would not start again. The doors unlocked and locked, vehicle jumped 3 times, all kinds of warning lights and messages on the dash....then nothing but a dead car in the middle of the road on a sunny dry day. I could've been the cause of accidents while stopped in the roadway and many people could've been seriously injured. The car was fixed the fourth time yesterday and the mechanic took it out to test before returning the vehicle to me. It died on him again and had to be towed back to the service center. Serious safety hazard and the certified GM techs can't figure out what's wrong. P3055 and P3056 are the error codes that come up every time. New battery, new vcm, new wiring harness....each time the problem got worse until it completely stopped running. No recall and the car is out of warranty so Chevy is not willing to help at all.

Engine power reduced light. The car wont go over 20-30mph. Brakes malfunction causing a small fender bender. Its hard to start wont stay running. It even lost power on the hwy a few times before the wreck.

Upon stopping and shifting the transmission into park, the instrument display gives a "shift to park" warning and when the "stop / start" button is pushed to shut off the engine, the engine stops, but the electrical system remains energized. The problem is intermittent and it often takes several attempts to remedy by re-starting the engine, shifting into gear, shifting back to park, then hitting the "stop / start" button again before it works correctly. Based on feedback from this and other sites, this appears to be a common problem and my local dealer has quoted me approximately $500 to replace the transmission control assembly. GM has also issued a technical service bulletin, no. 18-na-297, which recognizes this problem. The car has 27,000 miles on it and is 3 months out of warranty. This is unacceptable from a 100 year old car company that the government bailed out just 10 years ago.

On June 30, 2019, I was driving my Chevrolet Malibu hybrid home on the freeway when suddenly the engine lost power and stalled. The service engine soon light turned on and a message on the dashboard said 'shift to park'. I coasted to the next exit and stopped on the side of a street. I pressed the off button and shifted to park. I tried to turn on the car and it wouldn't even crank the engine. I called aaa and after 10 to 15 minutes the service engine soon light turned off. I tried again to start the car and it turned on. I canceled aaa and drove the car home. After a couple of days, I decided to scan the trouble codes in the car with my code scanner. The report said four confirmed trouble codes, no permanent trouble codes, no pending trouble codes, no body control module trouble codes, 1 telematics trouble codes, no human machine interface module trouble codes, and four electronic brake control module trouble codes. I saved the report and reset the trouble codes. Copy of the report attached. Then on July 2, 2019, I was driving on the city street and the car stalled again with the same message to shift to park. I coasted to the side of the road and pressed the off button and shifted to park. I tried to start the car and it did start and I drove it home. Next day I scanned the trouble codes again. The report said no confirmed trouble codes, no permanent trouble codes, no pending trouble codes, 2 body control module trouble codes, 3 front camera active safety trouble codes, 3 transfer case control module trouble codes, and 1 electronic brake control module trouble codes. I saved the report, copy attached. Next day I took the car to the dealer for trouble shooting, and repair under warranty.

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.
