TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, A POPPING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.

WHEN AT A STP LIGHT, AND PRESS EXCELERATOR THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM H WILL GO OUT & CAR HESITATE TO MOVE. THEN, IT WILL KICK ON. ALSO, THIS THROWS MY SIRUS RADIO OUT COMPLETELY & I HAVE TO CUT THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY TO GET STATION BACK ON OR CALL FOR A REFRESH, BUT LOCAL STATIONS WILL REMAIN. NOW I GET A WARING ABOUT THE STEERING ABILITY-DRIVE CAREFULL.

HAVE ISSUE WHERE I AM RECEIVING A SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE AND MY VEHICLE IS IN A MODE AS IF IT'S NOT IN PARK. I HAVE TO PULL FORWARD AND SHIFT CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK UNTIL IT TURNS OFF. OTHERWISE IF I LEAVE IT AS IS, ITS AWHILE BEFORE IT TURNS, IM AFRAID IT WILL RUN MY BATTERY DOWN. IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. ALMOST LATE FOR WORK WAITING FOR IT TO TURN OFF AT TIMES. WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LOCK CAR WITH KEYLESS REMOTE EITHER WHEN IT'S LIKE THIS

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?
