I'm not sure what's wrong, but when I stop and start my vehicle back up with the auto start I can hear something like water flushing or running through my dashboard. Most of the time my vehicle will stall out when I press the gas, is driving or turning most of the time it don't won't to go. I almost got hit on several occasions because I would try to turn and the car will stall barley going. This has cause a lot of frustrations. I have had my car since August of 2020 and it has been doing this since 2-3 weeks after purchasing it. I have not had time to take it to the dealership for inspection because I have lupus and I'm tried and have random flares.

At 10,000 miles my 2019 Chevrolet Malibu started to sputter and lose power. Taking off at a green light, driving on highways, turning at intersections, or turning against traffic has all become dangerous because the car will not gather enough power to go, leaving my car stuck on roads and in the middle of intersections. We were placed in a rental 2019 Chevrolet Malibu with 11,000 miles that also had power problems and left us stuck in a running car being approached by oncoming traffic.. the dealership diagnostic came up as transmission failure, in multiple brand new 2019 Chevrolet Malibu's. me, my family, and hundreds of thousands of motorists are in danger by driving this car, or even being on the road with these cars.

When I stop at a stop sign or red light, it seems like my car cuts off and then back on when I hit the gas. I can hear it. There is also a sound in my brakes when this happens, that sounds air.

The spring steel C-clip holding the cvt fluid cooling line in place at the radiator fell off while the vehicle was in motion on interstate 5. the transmission fluid drained out onto the roadway resulting in complete loss of power to the wheels. The engine light came on but the engine ran fine.

The engine "auto stop" feature can have enough of a delay to allow the accelerator to be pressed as the engine starts causing it to lurch forward rather than accelerate smoothly. It also can cause a delay when pulling out into heavy traffic. There is currently no way to temporarily or permanently defeat the system on this GM model according to GM service department. Though I am sure it is operating as designed for certain owner driving styles and traffic conditions this can be a serious hazard. Car makers should be required to either disable the feature permanently by owner request or have a method for the owner to bypass the system. With less than 250 miles I have experienced 2 incidents of almost hitting the car in front of me from a stop and 1 of almost being hit pulling into heavy traffic from a stop. I see many other similar complaints and hope this can be addressed before someone is hurt or worse due to it.
