2014 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

SINCE WE PURCHASED 02/2016 CHEVY MALIBU THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF AND THE DEALER HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM MANY TIMES AND STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM . I NOTICED THE GEAR IS WEAK SPECIALLY WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY

WHEN THE AUTO STOP KICKS IT AT LIGHT THE CAR SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART WITH MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE KEY. THIS IS A ACCIDENT HAZARD AND THE 2014 MALIBU HAVE NO OPTION TO TURN OFF THE AUTO STOP LIKE THE NEWER CARS.. BEEN HAPPENING FOR A YEAR

WHEN START STOP WAS ENGAGED AT LIGHT THE CAR SHUT OFF EVERYTHING ON THE DASH AND RADIO WENT BLANK. IT AUTO STARTED AND AC WAS NO LONGER WORKING. AFTERWARDS I SMELLED A SLIGHT BURNING SCENT (IN LOUISIANA TRAFFIC, I WAS UNSURE IT WAS ME) BUT CAR RAN FINE. WHEN START STOP ENGAGED THERE WAS A LONGER THAN NORMAL PAUSE BEFORE WOULD AUTO START WOULD ENGAGE. IT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO CRANK ON OCCASION FOR A FEW KEY TURNS. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TRUNK WOULD MYSTERIOUSLY POP OPEN. STARTED DISPLAYING TWO KEY FOBS PROGRAMMED, ABS STABLE TRACK, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, LOW BATTERY AND ANOTHER THING I CAN'T REMEMBER AT START UP. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WITH NEW ONES AND THE NEXT DAY THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERED AS WELL AS HEAD LIGHTS. AND WHEN I WAS TO TAKE IT IN TO DEALERSHIP IT HAD COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE ENGINE FUSE BLOCK AND REPLACED IT. NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND HAS A PAUSE BEFORE IT START. WILL NOT SEND DIAGNOSTICS TO MY CHEVY APP. REMOTE START IS NOT WORKING WITH ENG LIGHT ON. I TOLD THEM I THOUGHT IS WAS BATTERY CONTROL MODULE BUT HE INSISTED THAT IT WAS JUST THE ENGINE FUSE BLOCK. I CANNOT EXPLAIN THE ANXIETY. AND HAVE TOLD MY FAMILY THAT IF I DIE IN THAT CAR TO SUE GM. THERE SHOULD BE NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR AT 6 YEARS OLD. 53000 MILES AND IS DRIVEN LESS THAN 50 MILES A WEEK.

WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP... AND THE START STOP IS BEING ACTIVATED IT COMPLETELY SHUTS THE VEHICLE OFF AND IT IS HARD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE... MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO GET SOMEBODY TO JUMP START MY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO GET IT BACK IN MOTION... I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I AM AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THERE IS ONGOING TRAFFIC OR IF I HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES OR IF THERE IS A EMERGENCY

MY BLOWER STOPPED WORKING. I REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR AND RESISTOR AND NOTICED IT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW, SO I'M GUESSING THEY CAUGHT A RECALL BEFORE THEY SOLD TO ME. AFTER I REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR AND RESISTOR, IT WORKED FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, AND THEN STOPPED AGAIN. I'VE NOTICED PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR ISSUES IN ONLINE FORUMS AND AM WONDERING IF IT'S COVERED UNDER SOME SORT OF RECALL OR SOMETHING. PLEASE HELP.

WHILE SOMEONE IS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT, ALLY GAGES WILL GO TO 0, (INCLUDING WHILE DRIVING) THE SEAT WARMS WILL TURN OFF, ALSO MY STEREO SHUTS DOWN. I GET A NOTIFICATION SAYING "SERVICE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM", "SERVICE THIEF DETERRENT SYSTEM" ALSO SOMETHING ABOUT THE AIRBAGS.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AFTER WORK AROUND 12 AM & REDUCED ENGINE POWER APPEARS ON SCREEN, CAR SLOWS DOWN & I COULDN'T ACCELERATE MORE THAN 10MPH & HAD TO KEEP PULLING OVER TO TURN ENGINE ON & OFF. TERRIFYING! READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS JUST NOW & NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR WORSE ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW, ONCE FOR MY WIFE AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING. BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE DISPLAY SHOWED REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND THE VEHICLE DE-RATED AND SLOWED AUTOMATICALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED AND AFTER CONNECTING A CODE READER TO THE OBD AND CODE P2138 WAS LOGGED WHICH IS POTENTIALLY A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR/ FOOT GAS PEDAL. I REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CLEARED THE STORED CODE AND A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE VEHICLE AGAIN WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND DE-RATED ON HIGHWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SAME CODE P2138 WAS LOGGED INDICATING VOLTAGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APP SENSOR 1 AND APP SENSOR 2 OF THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON LINE I FOUND THAT A GM SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR POTENTIAL MOISTURE INTRUSION OF THE CONNECTORS FROM THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR TO THE ECM. (SEE ATTACHED) IT SEEMS LIKE MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING MOISTURE IN THE CONNECTORS AS BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED WITHIN MINUTES OF TAKING THE VEHICLE THROUGH AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE TO DE-RATE AND SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH CARS FOLLOWING BEHIND AND HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE BY GM AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ISSUED.

THE CAR WILL NOT START AND MESSAGES POPPED UP ON THE DASHBOARD STATING BATTERY SAVER ASSIST, POWER STEERING CARE, STABILOCK CONTROL.

POWER STEERING RANDOMLY GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON DASH AND CAR STOPS ACCELERATING. SHUT CAR OFF AND ALL LIGHTS TURN OFF AND CAR DRIVES FINE AND THEN RANDOMLY COMES ON AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AND POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK NEARLY GOT IN AN ACCIDENT . AFTER READING MANY FORUMS THIS SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENT PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHEVY !! VERY VERY UNSAFE STILL CAN'T SOLVE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUES AND HAVE TO DRIVE CHILDREN AROUND!

CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AUTO STOP CAME ON. WHEN LET OFF THE BRAKE THE AUTO START DID NOT START. IT TRIED TO THEN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE KEY TO GET IT TO START. I WAS IN RIGHT LANE TRYING TO TURN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WOULD NOT START WITH TURNING THE KEY UNTIL THE SECOND TIME TURNING THE KEY. THIS HAPPENED 5 TIMES ON MY WAY HOME. WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. WHILE IT WOULD NOT START AT 2 STOPS CARS THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO MOVE AND I COULDN'T. AUTO STOP AND START WAS COMING ON AT ALMOST EVERY STOP THIS MORNING AND MY HUSBAND MADE A COMMENT ABOUT HOW THAT WAS STRANGE AND IT SHOULD NOT DO IT. YESTERDAY WE JUST REPLACED THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST SEANOID.

KEY CONSISTING BECOMES STUCK IN THE IGNITION CYLINDER OF MY 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF DUE TO THE KEY BEING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED AND INCREASING THE CHANCE OF THE VEHICLE BEING STOLEN. THERE ARE A MULTITUDE OF VIDEOS FOR THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND ALL ARE ASSOCIATED WITH CHEVROLET VEHICLES. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE OF VEHICLES.

FOR A FEW YEARS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED SOMETIMES IT WOULD STUTTER OR THROTTLE AND SURGE WHILE DRIVING, BUT EVERY TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM. NOW THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM I BELIEVE IS ERROR CODE P16D0, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART THAT IS MENTIONED IN THIS CODE. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD COMPENSATE VEHICLE PURCHASERS WHO HAVE RUN INTO THIS ISSUE.

2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL VALVE. CONSUMER IS ALSO SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR OUT OF POCKET COSTS RELATED TO REPAIRS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME COMPLETING THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE PART NECESSARY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED WITH AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT AS SUGGESTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. *JS

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WON'T GO OFF AND THERE'S ONLY 78000 MILES. THE AUTO STOP ISN'T WORKING. THE TRACKING LIGHT WON'T GO OF AND THE ABS LIGHT WONT GO OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THROUGH FOG AT 65 MPH, THE DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED HOWEVER, FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED. THE CONTACT WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND MANUALLY WIPE THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT PLACED THE HEATER ON THE MAXIMUM LEVEL TO KEEP THE WINDSHIELD FROM FOGGING UP. THE CONTACT CALLED RAY SKILLMAN CHEVROLET (3891 S POST RD, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46239) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V567000 (VISIBILITY).

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

WHEN I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, MY CAR GO INTO AUTO STOP. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS TO GO, THE CAR SHUT OFF. AFTER MONTHS OF THIS I JUST UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS HARD TO DETECT. NOT EVEN THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THIS OUT. MY AUTO SOUND GUY EXPLAINED THIS TO ME NOW I CAN EXPLAIN THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP . THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL . THIS IS DANGEROUS. WHY DID CHEVROLET PUT THIS OPTION IN CARS.

SERVICE ENGINE SIGNAL WON'T COME OFF AND MY CAR WON'T CUT OFF

AUTO/STOP IS HAVING ISSUES. WHEN IN GAUGED IT STALLS THE CAR OUT AND WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO TURN BACK OVER. I HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. ALSO I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY RPMS JUMPING AND THE CAR LOSING POWER. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH THE INTAKE AND THE EXHAUST SOLENOID AND STILL LOSE POWER.

MY AUTO STOP AND START HAS NOT WORKED IN 6 MONTHS AND NOW THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND MY CAR STALLS AS I AM DRIVING SO MANY PARTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND NOW NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO ITS BEEN IN THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, WHEN A DEER SUDDENLY CAME FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO IT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED TOTALED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NECK, INTERNAL BRUISING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THEIR BODY, CHEST AND ABDOMINAL AREA INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,194.

DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A CHIME THEN ENGINE SEEMS TO DOWNSHIFT BUT IT ACTUALLY REDUCED SPEED QUICKLY. I LOOK UP AT DASH AND SEE THAT IT SAYS, 'ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED'. I THEN NOTICE TO THE LEFT OF DASH THAT THE ENGINE PIC IS LIT UP. I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND EXIT THE FREEWAY RIGHT AWAY. WHAT I WOULD NORMALLY DO IS OPEN UP THE OWNERS MANUEL AND FIND OUT A LITTLE MORE TO WHAT'S GOING ON. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR AND IT DIDN'T COME WITH ONE. I DECIDED TO TAKE SIDE STREETS THE REST OF WAY HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME I SHUT CAR OFF THEN STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND IT STILL HAD THE SAME MESSAGE.

ON 7/5/20 THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP MOUNTED ON THE ENGINE BROKE LOSE, DROPPED INTO THE ENGINE AND TORE APART THE ENGINE. WAS TOWED AND FIXED BY CLOSEST GM DEALERSHIP (DEERY BROTHERS, WEST BURLINGTON, IA). THERE IS A RECALL FOR A BAD WELD ON THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FOR 2016-2018 MALIBU'S RESULTING IN THE EXACT ISSUE I HAD ON MY 2014. THE DEALERSHIP SAID GM, CHEVROLET AND THE DEALERSHIP (WHICH IS A GM CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED IN 2018) SAID THEY ALL BARED NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. I PAID $3,128 FOR THE REPAIR ON 7/17/20. TWO DAYS AFTER BRINGING MY CAR HOME, THERE IS AN OIL LEAK THAT WAS NEVER THERE BEFORE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS A HOLE IN THE OIL PAN, AND AGAIN IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR IN FULL TO BE FIXED. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET ON 7/16/20 SAYING THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY VIN # FOR AN OIL PRESSURE VALVE. INCORRECT OIL PRESSURE COULD HAVE CAUSED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP TO EXPLODE CAUSING THE ISSUE ON 7/9/20. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT BETWEEN THE TWO RECALLS ISSUED BY CHEVROLET FOR MY CAR MODEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE REPAIRS ON A CAR THAT WAS PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WITH A WARRANTY TWO YEARS PRIOR, NOT TO MENTION I'VE HAD ALL REGULAR SERVICES DONE IN A TIMELY MATTER AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP, THAT HAS UNDER 90,000 MILES AND IS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD. THERE IS NO REASON FOR SUCH EXTENSIVE ENGINE DAMAGE TO SUCH A NEW CAR WITH NO P

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS STARTING A MONTH AGO MY CAR WHEN STOPPED SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN I DISENGAGE AUTO STOP, AND THEN IT STALLS

THE CARS STOP START FUNCTION IS MALFUNCTIONING AND WILL COMPLETELY TURN THE CAR OFF WHEN ENGAGED. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS DUE TO THIS. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THE FUNCTION IS ENGAGED. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR MARCH 17,2020

THE VEHICLE STOPS WHILE IN MOTION AND IN DRIVING GEAR THEN WHEEL LOCK UP. MAKING IT UNABLE TO PROCEED TO TURN OR DRIVE. THIS DOES NOT MATTER IF ON HIGHWAY OR PUBLIC STREET. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO COTTMANS AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN AND WAS COVERED BY MANUFACTURERS UNDER CODES P0011 AND P2646. YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED WITH RESOLVING THIS MATTER AS MY CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT MADE A NOISE THEN SOUNDED LIKE A MOTORCYCLE. THE VEHICLE COULDN'T MAINTAIN SPEED OF MORE THAN 18 MPH. LIMPED THE VEHICLE A FEW MILES HOME AND IT WAS LEAKING ENGINE OIL ONTO THE GROUND. THERE IS OIL PUDDLED UP BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE AREA. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN NEED A GM PART FOR ALMOST EIGHT MONTHS. THE PART # IS 12633613. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH CHEVY REPRESENTATIVES OVER A DOZEN TIMES. DESPITE DISCONTINUING THE ENGINE THAT REQUIRES THIS PART AND THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND PEOPLE WHO CAN'T OPERATE THEIR VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE, CHEVY/GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO DO A RECALL. THE FAULTY PART CAUSES CARS TO JERK AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BEFORE REALIZING THE CAR WASN'T FULLY OPERABLE, I WAS ALMOST HIT DUE TO MY INABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAVE INVESTED IN CHEVY AND I HAVE TAKEN GREAT CARE OF MY CAR. ONE SMALL SOLENOID ROCKER ARM SHOULD NOT KEEP ME FROM ENJOYING THE VEHICLE I HAVE PURCHASED. ASIDE FROM THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LOSS FROM THE CAR ITSELF, I SPENT HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES. I NEED SOME REMEDY IN THIS CASE AS CHEVY WILL NOT ADMIT THE PART HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED (ALTHOUGH A REPRESENTATIVE DID ADMIT TO THIS) DESPITE THEIR STATED REQUIREMENT OF PRODUCING OR MAKING AVAILABLE COMPARABLE PARTS FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. I NEED HELP AND I HOPE CHEVY IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE WILLFUL CONSUMER VIOLATIONS. *TR

THE CAR RAN WELL BUT NOT FOR LONG, AFTER LIKE 21/2 YEARS THE BATTERY HAD SOME ISSUES. THE CAR DID NOT START AT ALL. I ENDED BUYING A NEW ONE, EVEN THOUGH THE OLD ONE COULD BE CHARGED. LIKE 9 MONTHS AGO SAME SITUATION BATTERY NOT GOOD. AS IF NO ELECTRICITY IS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM, BOUGHT A SECOND BATTERY. IN 2 OCCASIONS THE CAR DID START PROPERLY. TWO WEEKS AGO DRIVING, THE CAR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BECAUSE IT JUST TURNED OFF FOR NO REASON! DRIVING AGAIN THE NEXT WEEK IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO PAY FOR A TOW TRUCK.THE CAR HAS NOT STARTED PROPERLY BUT IT THEN SHUTS DOWN WHEN I GET IT STARTED, DRIVING IN MY PARKING LOT. I'VE HAD TO PUSH IT BACK TO MY PARKING SPOT. AT THE END THIS CAR HAS LEFT ME IN THE ROAD A LOT OF TIMES. *TR

MY PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG ISN'T WORKING AND MY ELECTRICAL TO MY EMC ISN'T WORKING AND WHEN BATTERY IS UNHOOKED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON I'VE HAD SEVERAL SENSORS TO GO BAD. *TR

THIS CAR ALLOWS YOU TO SHIFT TO REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, ETC. WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR FOOT ON THE BREAK. YOU CAN SHIFT TO PARK WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND CHECK STABILIZERTRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE SPEED DIAGNOSTIC TEST SAYS MISFIRE AND VVT SENSORS REPLACED EVERYTHING STILL ON CAR LOST ALL SPEED AND POWER ON HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE SERVICE STABILI-TRAC AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING MESSAGES DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE VVT (VARIABLE VALVE TIMING) SENSOR. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT BOTH VVT (VARIABLE VALVE TIMING) SENSORS BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SECOND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH AN ENGINE MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 107,000.

AS SOON AS CAR IS TURNED ON, A/C WILL NOT BLOW WHEN I TURN THE KNOB AND NO MATTER WHAT BUTTONS I PUSH. NOT SURE WHY IT DECIDES TO DO THIS SOMETIMES BUT NOT EVERY TIME. I HAVE SEEN THIS AS AN OFFICIAL RECALL, BUT IT SAYS MY VIN SHOULDN'T BE EFFECTED. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT HAPPENS AT RANDOM. *TR

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN JANUARY 2020, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THEN ACCELERATES SUDDENLY WHICH IS A HAZARD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE FAULTY PART WAS GM# 12633613 ROCKER ARM CONTROL-SOLENOID VALVE. THE DEALERSHIP FRIENDLY CHEVROLET IN DALLAS, TX TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX THE CAR BECAUSE THE DAMAGED PART WAS OBSOLETE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHEVROLET AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE #9-5872869989 BUT AS I TRY TO FOLLOW UP THEY DON'T ANSWER MY CALLS ANY MORE. CHEVROLET JUST GAVE ME SOME WEBSITES WHERE TO FIND THE PART, BUT NONE OF THE SITES HAS THE PART AND I CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SOLUTION FROM CHEVROLET AND THEY HAVE JUST SENT ME TO LOOK FOR THE PART IN THE AFTERMARKET OR JUNKYARDS. I HAVE WASTED COUNTLESS HOURS LOOKING FOR THE PART WITH NO SUCCESS. PLEASE HAVE THE MANUFACTURER RECALL THE VEHICLE OR START PRODUCING THE PART NUMBER AGAIN SO MY CAR CAN BE FIXED. I WONT BE ABLE TO PASS THE INSPECTION OR SELL THE CAR WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. *TR

THE ENGINE VARIABLE TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE IS MALFUNCTIONING AS I HAVE SEEN WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ON THE INTERNET. GM IS NO LONGER MAKING THE PART. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY, BUT WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY, THE CAR SEEMINGLY STOPPED ACCELERATING EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS. THE CAR WAS STUCK WITH NO PROPULSION FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE I COULD ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE CAR NOW ONLY SLOWLY ACCELERATES, OR DIES IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. MY FUEL ECONOMY HAS BEEN WORSE AND ACCORDING TO REPORTS THE EMISSIONS OF THE CAR ARE WORSE. NO ACTION IS BEING TAKEN BY GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CHEVY MALIBU BRAND NEW ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE AS RECOMMENDED MY THE DEALERSHIP NOW PART #12633613 HAS WENT OUT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP AND GENERAL MOTORS THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE MEANWHILE I AM LEFT WITH A CAR THAT CAN NOT BE DROVE

REQUEST #282669 COMPLAINT15 APRIL, 2020 TRACKING # 11321107 THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINT REFERENCES MY 2014 CHEVY MALIBU, ECOTEC 2.5L DOHC ENGINE, VIN #[XXX].

IN OCTOBER 2019, THE VEHICLE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH AT 20-25 MILES PER HOUR (ODOMETER: ~21,000) AND THE VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE ENGINE GAS MILEAGE ALSO DECREASED. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROCKER ARM VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (UNDER WARRANTY). IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE CLEANED DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING PART.

AT THAT POINT I WAS TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AS IT WOULD NO LONGER BE DRIVABLE. THIS REPAIR WAS ATTEMPTED DURING THE GM WORKER STRIKE AND THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER THE STRIKE, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FROM GM OR ANY AFTERMARKET MANUFACTURER.
