Car stopped while driving on a highway with a message on dash saying 'engine power is reduced.' The dealership first said it was the accelerator pedal, then said it was the engine control unit. They said that they don't know what causes this to happen, but it just needs reprogrammed and a software update. An update that only a GM facility can do. Also specifically asked if this was wear and tear, told no, they don't know why this happens.

I was driving at 70 mph on a highway and the car shut of causing me to nearly get hit multiple times. I was barely able to get the car to the off ramp I was approaching. I had the car towed 100 miles to my house and then to a dealership. The dealership determined that the vacuum pump came apart and sent metal everywhere. The vacuum coming apart also caused the camshaft to break along with a hose and a camshaft sensor. The repairs alone are estimated so far to cost me about $2,500.

Getting shift to park message when putting car into park. Unable to turn vehicle off until park engages. We had repaired at the dealership a couple of months ago and it is doing it again. It is beginning to do it often.

Beginning several months ago, the vehicle would occasionally display a "shift to park" error message after the "start/stop" button was pressed to turn off the parked vehicle. Although the engine would turn off, all of the electrical systems would remain on. For the first few months, the error message would disappear after a few seconds to a minute, after which the "start/stop" button to be pressed to turn off the vehicle completely. Over the last month, however, the amount of time the message stayed displayed increased to many minutes, and it would take turning the car on/off and shifting in/out of park multiple times before the vehicle could be turned off completely. Once the vehicle was finally turned off completely, I wasn't able to drive it for a few weeks for fear of not being able to turn off the vehicle at work/stores/etc., or for fear of being stranded when the battery drains. This is a serious safety issue that effectively makes the vehicle unusable. After researching the problem, it was found that this is a known issue to GM for multiple models and years of vehicles per service bulletin 19-na-206. Based on my experience, however, the initially intermittent nature of this problem quickly turns into a permanent, disabling problem. In addition, a more permanent solution needs to be provided than what's listed on the service bulletin: (a) scraping deposits off the electrical contacts with your thumb 50 times to see if that works, (B) installing a jumper to see if that works, or (C) replacing the shifter control assembly. My concern is that if the design of the new assembly is the same, the problem will reappear in a few years with the replacement assembly; all are just temporary stop gap measures. A real fix that prevents the corrosion/deposits is needed, and a recall should be issued.

Driving and my car wouldn't stop because my stablitrak and ABS system malfunction and now the dealer is saying I need a vacuum pump and throttle change. This is a know issues in the GM cars just seen on google that a global letter was sent out Aug of 2019 about this issues but I never received it. These cars should be recalled and we should be given our money back. I have 2017 Chevy Malibu and I feel this premeditated murder because they know it's a issue and I could have lost my life July 30 2020 at 959pm

The Chevy Malibu has a problem with the shifter. When you put the vehicle in park it will say on the driver information panel to shift to park even though it is in park. The vehicle will not shut off. The vehicle is stationary when it happens. GM needs to fix it. Because it is a safety and the car will not shut off until to sensor is told to put it in park.

Dic intermittently displays "shift to park" when shutting down engine beginning at about 30,000 miles. Dealership states this is not covered by power train warranty. Well known problem with two tsbs issued but no recall. Research shows owners paying $200 to $700 for repairs when out of warranty. I replaced "park" switch with pn: 653-D2hw-bl221H at 31,000 miles. $12 including shipping. Why would they recall when it's a "cash cow" for Chevrolet.

When parking the vehicle and turning off the ignition the dash lights up "shift to park" had to work and work with it to get the car into park to where it could be exited from. Took to dealer and with extended warranty had to pay $200 deductible for a fix that I have heard many are having with the 2016 and 2017 year model GM products.

I was traveling in my vehicle on the highway going at least 65 to 75 mph and all of a sudden my vehicle beats two or three times and across the screen came the words 'reduce engine speed'. at that moment I was traveling in the middle lane and I had to safely get over to the far right median in the middle of traffic safely turn off and wait at least 10 minutes to start it back up. When I started my vehicle back up again I still received the same message. I then waited even longer and everything was ok but eventually the same issue continued to happen several times. I took my vehicle to get coded and the codes that were given to me were 2122, 2123, 2101. It's unsafe for this to happen especially I have a child this is no safe for me.

For 3 months my 2017 Chevy Malibu has had the check engine light come on, and vehicle completely loose acceleration. At slow and high speeds with my 2 year old in the car. When the code is read it states it's the ECM P2138. This last time almost caused my vehicle to wreck with my family in the car. Chevy has yet to handle the issue and like most cars it's not covered on warranty so because Chevy has put out a faulty product we are being punished with high mechanical costs. This is not the first issue, I have have my Chevy almost 3 years and have had it in for sensor issues reading the key fob and my car stranding me hours from home and not starting, and again for sensory issues putting the vehicle into park. When confronting Chevy they state the issue with high cost to fix.

- Tracy, CA, USA

While driving on freeway going 70 mph, my traction control, check engine light, and a warning flash across my dashboard saying engine speed reduced. My car went from going 70 mph to 40 mph and wouldn't go any higher. I immediately got off the freeway took pictures of the lights. Luckily I have a anti left device that reads off codes for my check engine like code P2138 is what came up. This is extremely dangerous, I had my [xxx] child in the car with me and was almost rear ended due to loss of power from such a high speed.
