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.

The car constantly gets message of engine power reduced while driving with no previous issues or warnings. The check engine light comes on then my driving speed decreases while driving. This is very dangerous! this happens on city streets and on the highway. I have to pull over to shut the car off and wait a few minutes then restart the car. The car then starts normal without the check engine light or error code

Takata recall my car has completely shut off on me twice in traffic now, this is dangerous because you loose control of your steering and brake system luckily both times I was not going at a high speed and I let the car slow on it's own, but there are no error codes popping up, no type of warning at all that something is wrong with the car. Sometimes it won't start in the morning so at first I thought it was the battery or remote battery so I changed both it started working for about a week so I thought the issue was fixed but it still cuts off a few times a day, like today it wouldn't start and when I finally got it started my heat and air conditioning system would not work, other times my home screen will be completely black and no power to it. I hope whatever is going on with these vehicles are fixed soon because it is very scary and dangerous when this happens especially in the middle of traffic. Another thing when my car is stationary and it won't start I will push the push to start button you will here a clicking sound and the engine light will flash but the engine will not turn on once I do get it started I get the word stabiletrak, so I took my car to the Chevy dealer once again and they are not able to find anything wrong with it.

'takata recall' I found 2 recalls that match the systems of my vehicle perfectly however when I put my VIN in. The recalls do not come up. Here are the recall numbers I am referring to. 51230, and 39440. When the engine power reduced happens usually on the highway only has happened a few times on the street. When braking a noice is coming from under the hood and the engine light comes on.

Takata recall- my car is decreasing speed, switching gears while driving, my car keeps telling me to 'shift to park' while the car is already parked and not cutting off. The car keeps dropping to zero on my dash board while I'm driving and shaking while I'm driving. My sensor system keeps flashing 'stabilitalk' and 'steering power service, reduced speed'

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.

- Chattanooga, TN, USA

I could be driving down the road and it'll say engine power reduced. If I press the gas, it'll slow down. When I put my car in park, and turn it off it'll say shift to park.

- Hamburg, AR, USA

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.

At 63K miles, the piston cracked and the engine needs to be replaced. There was a recall on this same exact issue, where Chevy decided to retard the timing so this would fix the issue. Obviously, this did not fix the issue and now the engine needs to be replaced. I contacted GM as this is a manufacturers defect and because the car is out of the powertrain warranty, they are only willing to pay 40% of the total cost to replace the engine. Only 3K miles out of warranty" manufacturers defect and I have to spill almost $5K to fix the vehicle, when they knew they had a problem" this is not fair or correct. The consumer needs representation and Chevy needs to put out a recall to all of these vehicles and stand behind their loyal customers. This is the 8th GM vehicle I have owned in my lifetime.

- Whittier, CA, USA

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.

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.

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!

When starting to progress from a stop, the Malibu will not accelerate for several seconds, and then when it does go it, surges forward. It occurs intermittently, but increases over time. This all occurs with no check engine light. We have taken it to the dealer several times were they have kept it for a combined total of well over a month, but claim that without a check engine light, there is nothing that they can do. It appears to happen predominately during the spring/summer months, and is less frequent during the much colder fall/winter months. We are being told that there is nothing that can be done from the manufacturer and the dealer. My wife is refusing to drive the car for fear that her or our children will be involved in an accident if the car will not proceed once in a busy intersection.
