2016 Chevrolet Malibu

I HAVE A 2016 CHEVY MALIBU. AS I WAS DRIVING MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN A MESSAGE SAYING THAT MY ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A NEAR BY CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID THAT THE ISSUE WAS A FAILED ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALONE WITH SOME FAILED SENSORS. I SAW SEVERAL REVIEWS WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM IF NOT THE SAME. I WAS VERY SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. I BROUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND EVERY SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN HAVING NOTHING BUT ISSUES. I CALLED GM AND THEY OPENED A TICKET, SO HOPEFULLY I GET SOME FEEDBACK SAYING THAT IT IS SOMETHING THEY ARE RECALLING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.. UNTIL THEN I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A RENTAL. IF THEY DO NOT RECALL IT THEN I WILL BE PAYING OVER $1200 FOR REPAIRS.

I STARTED GETTING DIFFERENT MESSAGES AND LIGHTS ON MY DASH OVER TIME. THE FIRST TIME I GOT A SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHEN I WAS PARKED WITH THE CAR IDLING AND THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND CALLED THE DEALER. I TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND ASKED IF IT WAS OK TO DRIVE TO A LOT OR SHOULD I GET IT TOWED. THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE OK TO DRIVE IT. IT WAS TOO LATE IN THE EVENING TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO I WENT TO BED. I GOT UP THE NEXT MORNING AND GOT IN THE CAR AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING GREAT SO I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT MUST HAVE JUST BEEN A GLITCH OR SOMETHING AND THAT I WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE IT SINCE IT WAS RUNNING FINE NOW. CAR RAN FINE FOR MONTHS WITH NO ISSUES AFTER THAT THEN ONE DAY I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAYS ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND SERVICE STABILITRAK WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY. I PULLED INTO THE NEAREST AUTOPARTS STORE AND GOT THEM TO CHECK MY CODES WHICH CAME BACK WITH A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 1. AGAIN CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I COULD DRIVE IT IN SINCE IT WAS JUST A MISFIRE, THAT IT WOULD JUST RUN ROUGH. I STOPPED FOR FUEL ON MY WAY AND THE MESSAGE AND ENGINE LIGHT WERE GONE WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN. CALLED DEALER AGAIN THEY WERE CLUELESS AND SAID THEY COULDN'T REALLY DO MUCH IF THE ISSUE WASN'T THERE. RAN FINE FOR MONTHS AGAIN THEN GOT SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND BRAKES ACTED FUNNY AS I WAS PULLING INTO WORK. BY LUNCH TIME THE ISSUE WAS GONE AGAIN. COUPLE DAYS LATER, REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK, TURNED AROUND AND LIMPED IT HOME WHILE STOPPING AT PARTS STORE AND 11 CODES CAME BACK. I GOT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE A BROKEN PISTON IN CYLINDER 1 AND THEY COULDN'T REBUILD IT BUT THEY WOULD PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT FOR $9,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE STABILITRAK INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO OPERATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT DROVE VERY ROUGHLY AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RED LION CHEVROLET (3220 CAPE HORN RD, RED LION, PA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS LATER, AFTER SWITCHING TO THE PARK POSITION, "SHIFT TO PARK" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT "POWER REDUCED" LATER DISPLAYED AND THE SPEED SUDDENLY REDUCED TO 10 MPH. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING 74, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT ON (REGULAR LIGHTS, WARNING LIGHTS, EVERYTHING) IT LASTED ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS AND THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL. DROVE ANOTHER TWO MILES REGAINING SPEED TO 74 AND HEADLIGHTS WENTOUT, ALL LIGHTS IN THE INSIDE (DASHBOARD, RADIO, CLIMATE CONTROL), AND I HAD NO POWER AND QUICKLY DROPPED SPEED. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IN 5:00 RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I TURNED THE KEY OFF. I WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND THE CAR DID STARTUP AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE BACK WAY HOME SO I WOULDN'T BE ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IT IN THE NEXT DAY. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND DIAGNOSTICS DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING. I HAVE SEEN A FEW OTHER POST ON THE INTERNET WITH THIS HAPPENING ON OTHER MALIBU CARS. THE DEALERSHIP IS ALLOWING US TO "EXCHANGE" (FOR A FEE) TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR SINCE WE JUST PURCHASED THIS ONE A MONTH AGO. HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TO SOMEBODY ELSE WITH THIS CAR.

AS SOON AS I STARTED THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON STATING THAT THE ENGINE'S EMISSION IS BEING REDUCED TO WHERE YOU CAN FEEL THAT THE SPEED OF THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN, BUT THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF A LITTLE WHILE LATER. THIS HAPPENED ON THIS PAST SUNDAY, NOW IT COMES ON AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT THE PAST YEAR AND THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. ITS LIKE EVERY 2-3 MONTHS THIS ISSUE OCCURS.
