The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving approximately 65 mph, the service engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. Additionally, while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, the automatic shut off feature activated. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent, but was more frequent in warmer temperatures and when the air conditioning was in operation. The vehicle was taken to white allen Chevrolet (442 N main St, dayton, oh 45405, (937) 303-5147) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to reproduce the failure or retrieve a fault code.

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.

Vehicle was parked on an inclined driveway. The car was rained on for 2 constitutive days. The 3rd brake light assembly just above the rear leaked into the roof of the care and the trunk. The leak was extremely fast and caused a pool about 1/2 an inch deep to build up in the spare tire storage compartment of the trunk. The leak caused damage to the roof panel on the interior of the car with significant water marks, and completely soaked the trunk as mentioned before with the pool of water. The car was purchase new and has never been involved in any motor vehicle accident or collision of any type. The technician that repaired the leak showed the leak was caused by a loose nut on the 3rd brake light assembly just above the rear window. I have attached the invoice from the repair shop that fixed the leak. The manufacturer refused to service or investigate the source of the leak because the vehicle was out of warranty due to mileage. The care was stationary and parked under a rainstorm when the damages were noticed. As far as I can tell there is no electrical damage however the proximity to the 3rd brake light warrants the report of electrical damage. Body damage is due to water damage to the floor mats of the trunk, headrest in the passenger area of the car, and water damage to the roof of the vehicle. The damage was found on Saturday July 6th, 2019. The repairs were performed on Tuesday July 9th, 2019.

My 2016 Malibu has intermittently not turned off when hitting the stop button and the error message "shift to park" was coming up. The car was in park. I am able to take my foot off the brake with no movement of the vehicle. This has increased to where I have to turn the car on and off multiple times and eventually it allows the car to turn off. When I called the dealership to explain the situation they informed me that the shifter was bad. He stated that he knew that was the problem because it was the 8th one they had replaced over the past couple of weeks. I do not live in a large metro area so 8 is a pretty high number for the population. I researched online and noticed that multiple complaints for the 2016-2017 Malibu and volts over the same issue.

While on vacation road trip to several northwestern states, while turning around in a parking lot, about to exit, car completely shuts off - no warning lights or nothing, just shuts off, looked under hood, nothing unusual, waited about five minutes, car started with stiil no warning lights. We were able to make it back to Texas with no other problems. Checked internet and there were no recalls - however there were several other occurrences of this happening to other Malibu. Upon return home phoned my dealership and made them aware of what happened, they informed me that they were not aware of anything like this happening, they encouraged me to file this complaint because there was nothing they could do at this time due to they have nothing stating this has happened.

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.

- Canfield, OH, USA

Car completely turned off at a red light and had no power. Steering locks up and had to push car have towed& then it started right up after. This is happening to many people and it stops even when the car is driving. This is a safety issue

- Tracy, CA, USA

While driving in the highway the car slowed abrubtly, the engine light came on, and the dash gave out engine power reduced. This has happened on more than one occasion while I was driving at a high speed. I pulled over and turned off the car to reset it. The first time the light went off on its own the second and therafter it did not. Had the accelerator pedal replaced once and 7 months later it is doing the same exact thing. This is very dangerous for me as a driver and those around me!
