I purchased my 2017 Chevrolet Malibu in October of 2017. Since I have had the vehicle the interior carpet comes untucked from the trim. Chevrolet indicates it is a big problem and is a common problem. The do not have a fix to address the issue. If the carpet comes lose will be a hazard to drivers.

When stopped at a stop light an electric motor kicks in for about 30 second and then the engine motor restarts making the car what to jump forward. If the driver has only a light foot on the break petal he/she could hit the car in front. I have notified both me dealer and GM as I believe this to be a safety issue in it design. It happens every time I drive and have to stop at a light and wait for about 30 seconds
