2014 Chevrolet Malibu

MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED ON TIME EVERY TIME IN DEALERSHIP AND WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. ON 10TH JUNE 2014, MY ENGINE JUST STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME AND ANY ACCIDENT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MOVE MY CAR TO RIGHT MOST LANE BEFORE MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED WITH INDICATORS ON. THEN AN OFFICER HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR TO CURBSIDE LATER. WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING MY CAR WAS AT HIGH SPEED 70 MPH AND THERE WAS VERY HIGH RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. THE MECHANIC AT DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE NUMBER 4 VALE HAS THROWN A ROD (BASICALLY PISTON HAS BROKEN) INSIDE THE CYLINDER AND ENGINE IS COMPLETELY DAMAGED. HE SAID THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AT 59,000 MILES (MY CAR MILEAGE) . I FOUND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE NHTSA SHOULD CONSIDER PUTTING THIS UNDER RECALL. GM TOLD ME YOUR CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 30 DAYS AND EVEN IF IT WAS FAULTY PART THEY WILL NOT COVER IT 100%. BECAUSE OF FAULTY PARTS BY GM, NOW I HAVE TO SUFFER AN HUGE FINANCIAL LOSS AND BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY AS GM DOES NOT CARE.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND REPLACED A SOLENOID, PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. NOW MY CAR DIES ON ME AND WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS IT HESITATES. MY CAR HAS UNDER 75000 MILES ON IT. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS. MY A/C DOESN'T WANT TO COME ON AT TIMES. MY RADIO WILL COME ON WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND APPROACHING A STOP, THE VEHICLE ENTERED INTO AUTO STOP MODE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,600.

I STARTED MY CAR AND DROVE ABOUT 1/4 OF A MILE AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME UP ON MY CAR STATING ENGINE POWER REDUCED. PULLED OVER PUT CAR IN PARK TURNED CAR OFF THEN ON THEN DRIVE. CAR DID FINE FOR ABOUT A MILE. THEN CAR SHOWED REDUCED ENGINE POWER AGAIN AND THEN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF ROAD AND WOULD NOT START BACK. WAS IN MIDDLE OF CURVE GOING UP HILL. CAR WOULD NOT EVEN ROLL WHEN PLACED IN NEUTRAL SO THAT I COULD GET IT OUT OF ROAD.

MALIBU WHILE DRIVING JUST HAS HOT AIR BLOWING AND WHILE SITTING ROOM TO DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAYS IT IS FINE. IT CONSTANTLY BLOWS HOT AIR IN 104 DEGREE WEATHER CHECKED COOLANT AND ANTIFREEZE AND COMPRESSOR STILL NOT WORKING BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED BUT EVERYONE CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JACK TAYLOR TOYOTA (3750 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22305), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED OR DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RADLEY CHEVROLET (3670 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, FREDERICKSBURG, VA 22408) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HUB BEARING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A MONTH LATER. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WORKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS SHIFTING INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO RADLEY CHEVROLET WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

INCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD ISSUE AFTER ISSUE WITH TRIM, ABS, STABILITY TRACK, HEATING SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION, AND WHEEL BEARINGS. I HAVE HAD THE STABILITY TRACK FIXED TWICE, TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING (COVERED UNDER A RECALL). WHEEL BEARINGS IN REAR BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN REPLACED BEFORE 80000 MILES. WIRING HARNESS TO WHEELS, THE DEALER SHIP HAD TO SPLICE ( I STILL CANT SEE HOW WIRING HARNESS IS NOT A COVERED COMPONENT. FOR A MANUFACTURE BASED OUT OF A STATE THAT HAS SNOW, AND TO PROVIDE A VEHICLE THAT HAS A STABILITY SENSOR THAT GETS DIRTY BECAUSE OF SALT THAT WILL ERROR IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. SAME FOR THE DEFAULT WHEEL BEARINGS ONE WINTER IN MICHIGAN AND THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED (ALSO NOT A COVERED FEATURE). TRIM THAT BLOWS OFF ON THE EXPRESS WAY. I LOST MY WINDOW TRIM AND THE FRONT BLACK COVER. FUNNY HOW THE 2015 MODELS HAVE A SCREW IN THEM BUT NOTHING FOR US POOR 2014 OWNERS THAT HAD AN ISSUE. I CAN PURCHASE A NEW ONE AT 60.00 (REALLY ITS PLASTIC). ABS COMES ON EVERY TIME I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE STABILITY TRACK, WHICH IS EVERY WINTER IT GETS DIRTY. ENGINE LIGHT ON NOW SO I CANT AUTO START THE CAR, MORE THAN LIKELY THAT WILL BE CAUSED BY THE GLAMOROUS AUX BATTERY THAT WAS ENGINEERED FOR THE LOVEY AUTO STOP FEATURE THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. HAVE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TO BE RIPPED OFF SOME MORE....APPT SHOWED A P011 CODE, SECOND TIME IN SHOP TO HAVE IT FIXED. UPDATE: MONTHS LATER, ABS ON THE DRIVERSIDE HUB IS NOW OUT. YES YOU GUESSED IT THE P011 ENGINE CODE IS BACK. (THIRD TIME). FIXED TWICE AT THE SHOP. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO MAKE GM WAKE UP AND FIX THESE ISSUES. IT JUST LIKE MY KEY ISSUE WITH MY 2004 IMPALA . CAR STALLS BOGGS DOWN AT 70 MPH.
