2017 Chevrolet Malibu

WELL COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITH NO POWER. THIS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIME WITH THE CAR HAVING NO POWER THAT I CAN'T EVEN PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. PRIOR TO THIS MY VEHICLE NOTED "SERVICE STABILITY" ON DASH BOARD AND THAT WENT AWAY. AFTER THAT ISSUE POPPED UP ANOTHER ISSUE OCCURRED. MY DASHBOARD NOTED "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN MY GEAR WAS IN PARK. MY DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT IN WHICH THAT'S WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO SHUT OFF MORE.

I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 11MILES ON IT AND I AM STILL HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING RESULTING IN ALMOST NEAR DEATH CRASHES. THE CAR STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH IN TRAFFIC AND ON THE HIGHWAYS. IVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. THE EMISSIONS IN THE CAR IS ALWAYS A PROBLEM AND THE ENGINE CONSTANTLY SOUNDS LIKE IT FALLING OUT AS YOU SWITCH GEARS. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM TO COMPLAIN, HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL NOR ARE THEY EXPERTS IN FIXING TRANSMISSION/ EMISSIONS ISSUES. AT THIS POINT I NO LONGER HAVE FAITH IN THIS 2017 MALIBU AND I FEEL LIKE GM IS TAKING ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY IN THE ERRORS OF THE MECHANICS OF THIS CAR. SO FAR, I WAS TOLD AFTER 1 YEAR OF TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS SPENT ON RENTAL CARS BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS NOT DEEMED A WARRANTY ISSUE, THEY GAVE ME $1500 TO PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE, NEVER ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS I HAVE WITH THE CAR. THAT IS NOT FIX I AM WILLING TO SETTLE FOR. WHAT ABOUT THE MONTHLY OBLIGATION I HAVE IN TERMS OF PAYING OFF THIS CAR? NONE OF THE TECHNICIANS WERE ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THIS IS AND I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO HAVE THIS CAR LOOKED AT. THE REASON FOR MY RECENT COMPLAINT IS BECAUSE AGAIN THE CAR IS EXPERIENCING STALLING AND LOW POWER STEERING. THE ORIGINAL FIX FROM CHEVROLET WAS TO CHANGE SOMETHING IN THE BATTERY "FOUND CODE COBOO B1325 LOW VOLTAGE CODES. FOUND SHORTED CELL IN BATTERY CASUING LOW VOLTAGE AT STARTUP REPLACED BATTERY AND ROAD TESTED 6 MILES. NO CODE RETURNED " HOWEVER THEY HAVE CHANGES THAT CELL EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE. THIS DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE, INSTEAD CAUSES ME MORE MONEY BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND I AM ALWAYS HAVING TO LEAVE MY CAR FOR WEEKS. I AM LOOKING FOR A REMEDY THAT IS SAFE FOR BOTH ME AND MY CHILDREN. I HAVE REPAIR ORDERS IF NEEDED

WHILE DROPPING OFF MY CHILDREN AT SCHOOL THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WENT INTO AUTO STOP. WHEN RELEASING THE PEDDLE SO THE CAR COULD TURN BACK ON THE WHOLE DASH BOARD AND THE RADIO SCREEN COMPLETELY CUT OFF AND WHEN THE CAR TURNED OFF IT ALL SWITCHED BACK ON. THE DASH SCREEN FLAGGED AND SAID STEERING ASSISTANT IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE. THIS REPEATEDLY HAPPENDED ANOTHER TWO TIMES EVERYTIME I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER THE THIRD TIME THE CAR DID NOT TURN OFF AT ALL. IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD THE ERROR MESSAGE COME ON WHEN THE CAR WOULD COME TO A STOP AND THE CAR WOULD TURN BACK ON BUT I AM BEGINNING TO BECOME VERY WORRIED BECAUSE NOW THE WHOLE DASH BOARD AND RADIO ARE TURNING OFF. I WAS ON A REGULAR CITY STREET BUT AM WORRIED WHEN I RETURN TO WORK AFTER MY VACATION I WILL GET STRANDED. I AM ATTACHING SCREENSHOTS OF A VIDEO I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE ON THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME. THE TIME IS ATTACHED ALSO.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON A BUSY CITY STREET AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF THEREFORE REMAINING IN THE INTERSECTION FROM ON COMING TRAFFIC, IN OTHER TERMS THE VEHICLE DIED ON ME. I WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING DUE TO NO CURRENT .THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE.

BACK IN THE 1ST WEEK OF JANUARY 2019 I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 65 MPH THE CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SENT A MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD THAT SAID "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" AND THE CAR JERKED AND THE SPEED DRASTICALLY DROPPED FROM 65MPH TO ABOUT 20MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO DRIVE TO AN EMERGENCY LANE WHILE CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS WERE BEHIND ME AND ALMOST HIT ME. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, BUT I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY GAS THROTTLE PEDAL AND SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A TOTAL OF TWO WEEKS, DUE TO THEM BEING OUT ON THE PARTS. I PAID OVER 500 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER I WAS MERGING ON TO A HIGHWAY TO GO TO WORK AGAIN. AS I WAS MERGING ON THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THE MESSAGE SAYING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" CAME ON AGAIN. I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATED AND PULLED OVER. I THEN TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED LIT AND THE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE REMAINED ON THIS TIME. I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO A MAX OF 35 MPH THIS TIME. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND THIS TIME THEY STATED IT COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER AND SAID A OIL CHANGE MIGHT HELP. THE OIL WAS CHANGED ON THE VEHICLE AND THEN THE CALLED SAYING THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH WHEN THEY STARTED IT. THEY ALSO THEN STATED THAT THERE WAS CONDENSATION IN THE RADIATOR FROM THE COOLANT. THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR PARTS AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THERE ALMOST THREE WEEKS. TOTAL TIME IN THE SHOP WAS 5 WEEKS OUT OF 6 WEEKS.

(ACCELERATOR PEDAL) ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED TO STALL... RIGHT IN THE MIDST OF ME DRIVING .. NO MATTER WHAT SPEED IM DRIVING. CAUSING MY DASH TO READ ( REDUCED ENGINE POWER ) EVERYTIME MY CAR GO'S INTO THIS MALFUNCTION ITS A SUDDEN LOST OF POWER.. WHERE EVER IM DRIVING AT ANY SPEED.. ON CITY STREET , HIGHWAY, ETC..WERE IT COULD LEAD TO VERY DANGEROUS OR TRAGIC SITUATIONS.. I TOOK MY CAR TO A CHEVROLET DEALER WERE THEY DIAGNOSIS IT TO BE ( PEDAL POSITION SENSOR NOT PLAUSIBLE NEEDS ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPLACED AND PROGRAMED.. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE JANUARY 24 2019 AWAITING FOR APART (ACCELERATOR PEDAL) THAT HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR OVER A MONTH AND STILL HASNT CAME AVAILABLE AS OF FEBRUARY 5 2019 NOBODY CAN FULLY EXPLAIN WHY NOONE HAS THIS PARTICULAR PART AVAILABLE.. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CARS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AWAITING THIS SAME REPAIR .. AT THE EXACT TIME OF MY AWAITING. THIS IS A VERY PROBLEMATIC ISSUE. THAT HAS BECOME VERY INCONVENIENT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AT ALL.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD AND IT LOSES POWER AND WONT LET YOU DRIVE OVER 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE ALSO WOULD NOT START. HAD TO LET THE CAR SIT FOR 15 SECONDS THEN TRY TO START IT AGAIN FOR IT TO START. THEN IT WOULD CUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PISTONS AND ADDED A NEW BATTERY STILL HAD A PROBLEM AND NOW THEY REPLACED ACCEL PEDAL SENSOR. AND NOW DRIVES A LITTLE FUNNY.
