2013 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

WHILE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, THE CAR RADIO WILL TURN OFF, POWER STEERING IS AFFECTED (VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEEL), LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD ALL COME ON AND IF BACKING UP THE REAR CAMERA WILL NOT WORK. REPAIR SHOP CANT FIGURE OUT, TESTED ELECTRICAL, BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. SCARY LOTS OF OTHERS POSTING VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!!

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE CAR POWERS DOWN. THE RADIO TURNS OFF, LIGHTS ON DASH GOES OUT AND POWER STEERING LOCKS UP. IF DRIVEN OVER A SPEED BUMP OR POTHOLE ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONETS POWER DOWN. I WAS DRIVING AND PUT MY SIGNAL ON, THE VEHICLE SHUTDOWN AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UNTIL IT REBOOTED ITSSELF. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE ON STREET, HIGHWAY NOR SPEED. WHEN IT LOOSES POWER THERE IS NO WAY TO ALERT THE NEARBY DRIVERS WITH HAZARD LIGHTS AS EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SHUT OFF. ON GOING MATTER, HAS BEEN TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND DIFFERENT LOCATIONS

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON, CANT CLEAR. SCREEN ON RADIO IS COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT AND WONT TURN ON. TRUNK RANDOMLY POPS OPEN BY ITSELF. HARD DOWN SHIFT. BATTERY SEEMS WEAKENING WHEN CRANKING CAR UP

I PURCHASED A 2013 CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CHEVROLET MALIBU FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER OF 2014. I WAS SATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE FOR A FEW MONTHS WITH NO ISSUES UNTIL I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL. MY FIRST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE EXITING ONTO A HIGHWAY VIA A CLOVERLEAF. WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE OTHER LANE, AS MY CAR VEERED ACROSS THE LINE, INTO THE OTHER LANE. THE POWER CAME BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE ISSUE. THEY SCANNED THE VEHICLES SYSTEM FOR ERROR CODES, CLEARED THE CODES AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. SINCE THIS INITIAL ISSUE, MY CAR LOSES POWER RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, PARKED, USING MY TURN SIGNAL, TURNING LEFT, TURNING RIGHT, ETC. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, THE DASHBOARD AND VEHICLE DISPLAY MONITOR GO BLACK. SOME INSTANCES IT WILL FLICKER, OTHER TIMES IT WILL SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED FROM MY DRIVEWAY AS I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TURN IT ON AND TOWED FROM A RETAIL PARKING LOT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND A SEPARATE PRIVATELY OWNED GARAGE TWICE, WITH NO RESOLUTION. I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET REGARDING THE ISSUE AND A CASE NUMBER WAS GIVEN TO ME. THEY HAD ME BRING MY CAR TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. AFTER THEIR INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING. I REACH

DRIVER HIT A STATIONARY OBJECT HEAD ON AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH AND HEAD WENT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.

THE DASHBOARD COMPLETELY WENT OUT NO GAUGES WORK, NO FUSES ARE BLOWN AND DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHY

2013 MALIBU LS SAME PROBLEM AS ECO HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR AWHILE NOW VOLTAGE DROPS ENGING STALLS POWER STERING BRAKES EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF ALSO DOES THIS WHEN YOU TURN TURN SIGNALS ON RADIO EVERY THING SHUTS OFF THIS IS A FACTORY PROBLEM THAT NEED TO BE FIXED THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR KILLED NO CONTROL WHEN EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF DOES THIS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING FLICKERED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ED RINKE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (26125 VAN DYKE, CENTER LINE, MI 48015, (866) 461-1170) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4683000874. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,494.

I WOULD BE DRIVING THE CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD COME ON AND THEN GO OFF. THE STEERING WOULD PULL TO THE LEFT. A COUPLE OF TIMES ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD CUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE ROAD.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD ENGINE STALLS FOR 30 TO 40 SECONDS EVERYTHYING SHUTS DOWN LOW VOLTAGE WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON

ON 4/16/2018 AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 2 HOURS I WENT TO PUT MY 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE I NOTICED PRESSURE FROM THE BRAKE THREAT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO FULLY PRESS DOWN. THERE WAS ALSO A LOUD HISSING NOISE COMING FROM THE PEDAL. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE MY POWER BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. I WAS ADVISED THAT IS WAS ABNORMAL FOR A NEW CAR TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM. THE REPAIR WAS $529. NOW ON 9/24/2018 WHILE AT A RED LIGHT MY DASH WENT HAYWIRE AND ALL ALERTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE DISPLAY READ 'SERVICE POWER STEERING' I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR TURN OFF THE IGNITION BUT ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF. AFTER 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK ON AND IN GEAR. AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN I NOTICED I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE BRAKE WAS HARD TO PRESS AND THERE AGAIN WAS A LOUD HISSING NOISE. AFTER TAKING MY CAR ONCE AGAIN TO THE SHOP I WAS ADVISED I NEEDED ANOTHER POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PART BACK IN 2013 BUT IT WAS NEVER REPLACED IN MY CAR. THE DEALER HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE IT AT THIS TIME AND I AM HOPING FOR A RESOLUTION. THE CAR BECOMES INOPERABLE WITHOUT NOTICE AND IT IS JEOPARDIZING THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE SERVICE STABILI TRACK AND REDUCE POWER MESSAGES CAME ON AND SLOWED DOWN TO 30MPH. THANK GOD I GOT TO PULL OVER SAFELY.MY SON AND I HAD TO BE TOWED HOME

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND SUGGESTED THE CONTACT CALL NHTSA AND SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DEALER. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED ONLINE AND STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE WITHIN THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

DRIVING TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE OIL CHANGED,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON,BATTERY ON AN BATTERY SAVER ACTIVATED,DEALER SAID BATTERY WAS GOOD ,,WHEN STARTING CAR ,PUT IN GEAR,STEERING WHEEL WON'T MOVE,TURN OFF ,START AGAIN,THEN MOVES,AN CAR DIES,AN RESTARTS BY ITSELF.WHILE DRIVING HESITATION IN ACCELERATING. I CALLED 1-800-521-7300,SPOKE TO NASH ,,I AM TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS .VERY UPSETTING TO BUY A CAR AN HAVE THIS HAPPEN ,,FIRST AN LAST CHEVY I EVER BUY ,,,THOUGHT GM WOULD TAJE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS !!!!

CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT A MECHANIC BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT BEGAN WITH THE RPMS GOING TO 3000-4000 WHEN BARELY PRESSING GAS PEDAL. THE CAR STALLED AFTER PUTTING IT IN REVERSE NEARLY CAUSING ME TO GET HIT, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO WE TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO OUR MECHANIC. THE CODE FOR A BAD CAM SOLENOID WAS LISTED, AND THAT WAS REPLACED. DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK, STILL NOTICING ISSUES WITH RPMS, AND WHEN BRAKING, THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE. JUST HAD TO DROP IT BACK OFF AT MECHANIC BECAUSE WHILE GOING 30MPH, THE CAR WHEN TO 4000 RPMS AND THE 'ENGINE OVERSPEED' LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, AND THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED, THE RPMS WOULD NOT GO BEYOND 2000, AND THE FUEL HAND WENT TO A FULL TANK? THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR WITH 70,000 MILES, AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANKFULLY I'VE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT YET, BUT I'M FEARFUL IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I'LL NOT BE ABLE TO SAY THAT!

DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLICKS ON & OFF WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY, SIDE STREET OR STATIONARY NO DIFFERENCE. CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS BEING STARTED OVER & OVER WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE, STABILITY CONTROL & OTHER WARNINGS FLASH. BELL DINGS OVER & OVER. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. NO SPEED/OIL/GAS INDICATORS. DEALERSHIP & MECHANIC SHOP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG DURING DIAGNOSTICS. NO CODES.

SATURDAY I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED. THE WHEEL LOCKED AND THEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD NO PROBLEM RESTARTING IT. TODAY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING.

MY VEHICLE HAD REPAIRS LAST YEAR 2 TIMES, THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT ALMOST COMPLETELY. THE SUSPENSION WENT OUT, THE ESC AS WELL, ELECTRICAL ISSUES. DRAINING BATTERY CONSTANTLY. THE DASH SHOWED ENGINE RUNNING HOT PULLED OVER LET IT COOL AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART..

THE MECHANIC STATES IT MAY BE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE (GCM) MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE BATTERY WOULDN'T HOLD A CHARGE AND THEN SUDDENLY IT WAS CHARGED AND DRIVING AS NORMAL, THE BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON THE ENTIRE TIME. THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT NOW, BUT STATED THERE WAS A RECALL AND THINKS THAT IS WHAT IS WONT WITH MY VEHICLE. ALSO THE STOP/START FEATURE IS NOT WORKING AT ALL ON THE VEHICLE. IT ACTS LIKE IT WILL CUT OFF INTERMITTENTLY.

THE SEAT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND GETS STUCK IN POSITION, CURRENTLY THE BACK IS TILTED NEARLY ALL THE WAY BACK AND WILL NOT TILT BACK UP

VEHICLE LOOSES POWER CAUSING THE TRACTION LIGHT TO COME ON, POWER STEERING TO GO OUT, VEHICLE BECOMES HARD TO STEER AND EVENTUALLY GOES DEAD. HAPPENS RANDOMLY.

WHILE DRIVING AND MOVING OR USING STEERING DRIVE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. I ALMOST HAD 2 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY SUDDENLY THE CAR WHILE DRIVING SHUTS DOWN, STEREO GOES OFF AND DRIVING STEERING WHEEL GOES HARD I CANT USE IT. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR TRYING TO PARK IT IT SHUTS DOWN AND KEYS GET LOCKED OR STUCK, UNABLE TO REMOVE KEYS. WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES IF YOU TURN ON HIGHLIGHTS IT SHUTS DOWN THE CAR. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND CHEVROLET. I ALMOST CRASH WITH OTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. IT REALLY IS A FABRIC ISSUE, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CASES AND COMPLAINTS DEMONSTRATING THAT THIS IS A ERROR THAT GM OR CHEVROLET NEEDS TO FIX FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

MY 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS TO DATE.

I HAD TO WAIT FOR 10 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE POWER RETURNED AND COULD REMOVE THE KEY OR RESTART THE VEHICLE. ON THE THIRD OCCASION, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONING LOST POWER AND THE CAR WAS THREATENING TO SHUT OFF BUT REGAINED POWER.

I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS THEN ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE SLOWING FOR A STOP LIGHT.THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHILE TRYING TO BACK OUT WITH THE CAR STILL IN DRIVE. THERE WERE ALSO A FEW TIMES WHERE THE RADIO WENT BLACK AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP BRIEFLY WHILE MAKING A TURN BUT DID NOT LOOSE POWER. MY DAILY COMMUTE TO WORK REQUIRES ME TO TAKE THE HIGHWAY. I AM TERRIFIED OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN AFTER THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY WHEN I AM TO RETURN TO WORK AND TRAVEL THE HIGHWAY AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING, ALL ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING BUT THE GAUGES, POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL, EVERYTHING. ANYTHING ELECTRICAL SHUTS OFF. IT'S HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60 MPH AND ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS ONLY GOING 15 MPH.
