2016 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM WENT OUR WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO WARNING!

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WITH A NOTIFICATION SAYING ENGINE POWER REDUCED TO WHERE YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR OFF THREE OR FOUR TIMES BEFORE IT WILL GET BACK TO WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. VERY UNSAFE WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55 AND IT SLOWS YOU DOWN TO UNDER 20 YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF WEAVING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC VERY DANGEROUS.

COMING BACK IN TOWN FROM VISITING A FRIEND. SOON AS I WAS MAKING AN EXIT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED RUNNING FUNNY MAKING WEIRD NOISES. I PARKED AND LET MY CAR SIT FOR 15 MINUTES AND GAIN A LITTLE SPEED TO IT. LUCKILY I WAS DOWN THE STREET FROM A AUTO ZONE. AUTOZONE WAS ABLE TO TELL ME MY FUEL REGULATOR PRESSURE WAS LOW. I DID CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP AND I NOW I HAVE TO TOW IT IN WHICH ILL COST ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I ALSO READ THAT THESE TYPES OF THINGS HAPPENS A LOT TO THESE TYPE CARS. IF I WOULD OF KNOWN THAT I WOULD OF WENT WITH A DIFFERENT CAR.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WHICH CONTROLS VEHICLE SPEED TO ENSURE SAFE DISTANCE STOPPED WORKING RENDERING CRUISE CONTROL INOPERABLE. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE FORWARD CRASH AVOIDANCE TO NOT WORK. VEHICLE TROUBLE CODE UO269-00 STORED WHICH RESULTED IN REPLACING LONG RANGE RADAR MODULE TO CORRECT FOR $1055.00

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, LOSS OF POWER. VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 20MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

WHEN CAR IS PLACED IN PARK IT IS NOT RECOGNIZED AND THE CAR WILL NOT SHUT DOWN. THIS WAS HAPPENING ONCE AND A WHILE BUT NOW IT IS VERY FREQUENT! THIS IS WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK. IT HAS TAKEN COUNTLESS TIMES AND IS BECOMING A REAL NUISANCE. OUR CAR IS ONLY 3YEARS OLD AND OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALREADY HAVE REPAIR BILLS. WE WERE TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THE MALIBU AND WE HAVE SEEN MANY!!

IVE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT FILL THE GAS TANK UP ALL THE WAY. THE GAS TANK FILLS 3/4 OF THE WAY. IF YOU GOOGLE CHEVY MALIBU GAS TANK PROBLEM IT WILL POP UP. I THINK IT SHOWS HOW LITTLE GM CARES ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS BY NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. I CAN MAXIMUM GET 250 MILES AFTER 'FILLING' MY GAS TANK.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR HESITATES FOR 15-20 SECONDS BEFORE TAKE-OFF. THE LIGHTS AND RADIO GOES OFF AND THE DOME LIGHT GLITCHES. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMES-ON. THE CAR HAS A REAL SLOW TAKE-OFF. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED IN JULY 2018 AND IT STARTED OVER IN THE LAST TWO-WEEKS.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2016 CHEVY MALIBU WILL REDUCE SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE DASH READS 'ENGINE REDUCED POWER'. THIS HAS HAPPENED A LOT TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2016. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOTES OF MANY TIMES I HAVE REPORTED.

EVERY TIME I PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE AUTO STOP ENGAGES THE ENGINE TURNS OFF, BUT WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL THE WHOLE DASH DISPLAY GOES OUT, INCLUDING THE TURN SIGNALS. IT TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE FOR THE DASH TO COME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIME A DAY, AND IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS. IT SCARES ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

EVERY SO OFTEN I GET A STABILITY CONTROL ERROR ON MY DASH AS WELL AS POWER ENGINE HAS BEEN REDUCED WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ALSO EVERY TIME IT RAINS MY CAR SEEMS TO BE GETTING WET FROM THE INTERIOR. ALL BACK REAR SEATS AND MY CEILING

VEHICLE SAYS TO SHIFT TO PARK WHEN ALREADY IN PARK. VEHICLE IS HESITANT TO ACCELERATE SEEMS AS IF IT IS STRUGGLING TO GO AT TIMES. WHEN BLINKERS ARE IN USE , THERE IS NO SOUND AT TIMES THAT IS USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH TURNING A TURN SIGNAL ON. ALL ISSUES HAPPENED DURING DIFFERENT OPERATIONS OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE STATIONARY , WHILE DRIVING , WHILE IDLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT BEFORE DRIVING HOME. LEMAN'S CHEVY CITY (1602 MOMSSEY DR, BLOOMINGTON, IL 61704) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST THREE WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,239.

SYSTEM READING 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED'

WHEN IT RAINS VEHICLES TRUNK AND TAIL LIGHTS WILL FILL WITH WATER. THE BACK OF THE INTERIOR PART OF THE ROOF ALSO FEELS WITH WATER WHICH HAS CAUSED A MUSTY SMELL ALONG WITH A WATER STAIN ON THE ROOF. THE TRUNK AND BACK PART OF THE ROOF LEAKS WHILE PARKED AND IN MOTION.

ENGINE REDUCED POWER NOTIFICATION. 2016 MODEL HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES.

DRIVING AT 55 MPD THE "REDUCED ENGINE CAPACITY" LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR SLOWS TO 30 MPD WITH NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP 11 MILES AWAY... NO PART AVAILABLE, THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR. THEY STATE IT IS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT NEEDS REPLACED HOPING THIS FIXES IT BECAUSE THIS WAS SCARY

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER SENSOR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON! THE CAR SPEED REDUCED TO 20MPH AND I HAD TO SWERVE TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE TO AVOID GETTING HIT BY THE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE! I GOT OFF THE NEAREST EXIT TAKING THE STREET WAY HOME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE SEEN THIS SENSOR GO OFF. THE FIRST TIME IT CAME ON (APRIL 2019) NOTHING HAPPEN TO MY CAR, IT WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE AND THE SENSOR DISAPPEAR 2 DAYS LATER AND I HAVEN'T SEEN IT SINCE UNTIL NOW. WHEN THE SENSOR DISAPPEAR, THEN MY CAR BEGIN SHAKING WHEN ITS IN IDLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT I HAD A LEAKING GASKET. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT BECAUSE MY CAR NEVER LEAKED ANY OIL AND I HAD MY OIL CHANGES ON TIME. A RECALL NEED TO BE ADDED FOR THIS ISSUE AS IT APPEARS THAT PEOPLE ENCOUNTER THIS PROBLEM REGULARLY!

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER ALERT POPPED UP ON THE DASH ALONG WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT REDUCING MY SPEED TO 30MPH. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. SO WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AS SOON AS THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER ALERT CAME ONE. WHEN I LEFT THE SHOP MY CAR WAS FINE. NO ENGINE LIGHT EITHER. FAST FORWARD A WEEK LATER I'M HEADED TO WORK AGAIN AND THE ALERT POPS UP. I WAS ALREADY CLOSE TO MY JOB SO I KEPT GOING. WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK THE ALERT AND ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. FAST FORWARD ANOTHER WEEK, YESTERDAY, I'M LEAVING WORK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT POPS UP AND MY ENGINE REDUCED THE SPEED AGAIN. I'VE MADE AN APPOINTMENT THE NEAREST GM DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO LOOK AT MY CAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ESPECIALLY IN CHICAGO WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD. I SEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON GOOGLE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT TO MANY CHEVY MALIBU CAR OWNERS ARE HAVING. SEEMS LIKE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO DO A RECALL.

BROUGHT THE CAR AUGUST 2019. BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS THE NEXT MONTH. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND A WARNING MESSAGE READ, "ENGINE SPEED REDUCING." I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. NOTHING IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

NOTHING BUT ISSUES AFTER ISSUES AFTER ISSUE! THE DEALER DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I HAD REDUCING ENGINE ISSUES, TOOK TO DEALER AND SEEMS AS IF THEY JUST CUT A WIRE. I STILL GET THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WITHOUT THE MESSAGE APPEARING. THEN AN OIL LEAK OUT OF NOWHERE AND NOW MY CAR WILL NOT START, ON LUNCH AT WORK 30 MILES FROM HOME. EVERYONE WITH THIS CAR JUST SHOULD BE GIVEN A NEW ONE. I FEEL LIKE WERE TEST DUMMIES, NOT COOL! OR SAFE!!

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN "PARK", TURNING OFF THE ENGINE A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF, ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL ITEMS REMAIN ON. REPEATED RESTARTS ARE REQUIRED TO ELIMINATE THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE. NOVEMBER 6 2019 THE "DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.10

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, "ACTION REQUIRED STEERING ASSIST REDUCED" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING JERKED. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, BUT THEN RESTARTED INDEPENDENTLY.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

THE CAR WHEN STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT SHUTS OFF AND WILL NOT START. ON STAR DIAGNOSTIC HAVE STATED SEVERAL TIMES ITS DUE TO ENGINE ISSUES. IT SOMETIMES SEEMS AS IF IT'S DROPS IN SPEED WHEN DRIVING. I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHEVYLAND DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND A THOTTLE BODY INJECTION ISSUES THAT IRONICALLY MY CAR DIDN'T MAKE THE RECALL LAST HOWEVER THE SAME MAKE, MODEL CARS HAVE BEEN LISTED.

MY LOW ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON. THEN MY VEHICLE REDUCED SPEED TO 10-20 MPH.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN SLOWED DOWN AND A WARNING SAYING 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' APPEARED. CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE PROPERLY

WITHIN THE LAST MONTH MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THREE SEPARATE TIMES. FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING AND AT A STOP LIGHT ON A HILL THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I TRIED STARTING IT MULTIPLE TIMES . AT FIRST ALL THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WILL TURN ON AND THEN MINUTES LATER THAT CAR STARTED BACK UP. SECOND TIME I WAS AT ANOTHER STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AGAIN. SAME THING STARTED BACK UP AFTER ABOUT 2-3 MIN OF RE TRYING. THIRD TIME WAS YESTERDAY I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN WENT TO RE START IT AND NOTHING. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES IT STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT CAN TAKE HOURS TO DAYS TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I DONT EVEN WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE CONSIDERING I COULD HARM MYSELF AND POTENTIALLY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL OR BULLETINS ON THE PROBLEM. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE LOOKS LIKE A GOOD AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE DRIVERS SEAT MOVES (SHIFTS) WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT YOU FEEL IT MOVE, BUT DEALERSHIP SAID ITS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM AND HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALERSHIP SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, BRAKES STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE SLIPPING. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 21. THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR WHILE TRAVELING BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN THE CITY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ONE AND IT GOES INTO REDUCED POWER MODE. ON THE HIGHWAY THIS CAN BE A HUGE ISSUE. AFTER MULTIPLE 'FIXES' IT'S SEEMS TO BE OK. HOWEVER ON 10/3/2019 WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT THE AUTO STOP FEATURE KICKED ON. NOTHING NEW THERE HOWEVER WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED AND THE DOORS ALL UNLOCKED. AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS IT STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. NOW THE AUTO STOP DOESN'T KICK ON AT ALL AND THE CAR WILL NOT LET ME USE AUXILIARY POWER. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE IN THESE MALIBU'S? IS SOMEONE GOING TO HAVE TO BE INJURED?

I OWN A 2016 CHEVY MALIBU AND ONE OF ITS FEATURES IS AN AUTO STOP/START FEATURE IN THE CAR. WHEN THIS CAR ENTERS THIS MODE WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK IT IS SUPPOSED TO START AGAIN BUT WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK IT WILL JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR AGAIN IT WILL JUST STALL. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON JUNE 9TH 2019 WHERE THE CAR CUT OFF AND ROLLED BACK INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS JUST ONE OCCASION OF THE CAR CUTTING OFF ON ME AND BECOMING IMMOBILE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE AND A WIRING ISSUE I'VE GOTTEN BOTH ADDRESSED BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. I'VE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVY THAT MAY ADDRESS THE ISSUE BUT I HAVE TO SEE. MY CAR CURRENTLY WON'T START. TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 24,2019

SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR, IT HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE ON TIME. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. AS I GOT OFF THE EXIT I NOTICED MY CAR ACTING FUNNY, AS I GOT TO THE END OF THE EXIT I NOTICED THAT I HAD NO BREAKS AND THAT I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING AT ALL AND ACTUALLY COULD NOT COME TO A STOP AT THE END OF THE EXIT, HAVING TO RUN THE STOP SIGN AND INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WHICH IF A POLICE OFFICER WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD SITUATION. HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT IT JUMPED TIME. WITH ONLY 70+ THOUSAND MILES ON MY CAR, WHY WOULD I EVEN THINK TO WORRY ABOUT MY CAR JUMPING TIME. I THEN FIND OUT MY WARRANTY ENDED AT 60,000 MILES. I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE NUMBER OF CASES WITH THIS ISSUE. NOW I AM OUT $ 3000.00 FOR A MOTOR AND LABOR TO HAVE THE MOTOR INSTALLED.

THIS IS NOT MY FIRST TIME. WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR I HAD ONE YEAR OF MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BUT WHEN IT IS COMPLETED MY CAR STARTED FAILING OFF THE ENGINE SUDDENLY. I TAKE MY CAR TO DEALER BUT HE TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING PROBLEM WITH THAT ISSUE. BUT IT IS REPEATING THE SAME ISSUE.
