2018 Chevrolet Malibu

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WHILE DRIVING. ONCE THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED, "REDUCED POWER" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SERRA CHEVROLET (28111 TELEGRAPH RD, SOUTHFIELD, MI 48034, (248) 354-6001) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TEST COULD NOT READ THE CODES. THE DEALER PERFORMED A SYSTEM UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,036.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR 6 MONTHS AND IT HAS BEEN SERVICED 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. WHEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC WITH THE GAS PUSHED DOWN IT SLOWS AND THEN LUNGES. IT ALSO CAN HAPPEN WHEN GOING WITH THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC. (FEELS LIKE IT'S SLIPPING). THE FIRST TIME THEY FOUND PUMP PLUNGER DAMAGE AND LOOSE PIN IN FUEL CAM FOLLOWER. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPROGRAMMED EXAM WITH LATEST CA LIBERATIONS. I AM HERE NOW FOR THE 3 TIME. THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I WORRY FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND KIDS WHEN DRIVING.

BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN AUGUST 2018. WHEN I DRIVE IT SOMETIMES IT LOOSES POWER WHEN I'M DRIVING FROM A STOP OR WHILE PICKING UP SPEED AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S ON THE FREEWAY OR ON THE STREET. THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT IS IT'S LIKE THE TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR AND SLOWLY BUILDS SPEED UP. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT LIKE THIS.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW 9/28/2018 WITH 2 MILES ON IT. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THE CAR WILL STICK AT 3400 RPM'S, MAKING ALMOST NO POWER, WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WILL DO THIS FROM A STOP OR TRYING TO PASS A CAR. BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR 4 DAYS, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AS IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME(EYE ROLL) IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS IT WILL GIVE YOU A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY WHEN MOVING INTO OR AROUND TRAFFIC AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. MONITORING THE CAR THRU THE OBDII PORT I PERSONALLY FOUND IT NOT BUILDING BOOST FROM THE TURBO WHEN IT'S HAVING THIS PROBLEM, UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALERS CAN'T SEE THIS PROBLEM...

THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WAS CRUISING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, IT DID SO FOR A SPLIT SECOND. THE NEXT TIME WAS AT MY HOUSE, I NEEDED TO GO RUN TO THE STORE. I TRIED STARTING IT. IT SAID "SHIFT TO PARK" BUT I WAS IN PARK. THEN IT SAID "SERVICE STABILITRACK SYSTEM", AND THEN SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "POWER STEERING SERVICE REQUIRED". I WAITED AND TRIED FOR HOURS AND THEN EVENTUALLY CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC STOP FEATURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP WHILE IN MOTION. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ZEIGLER CHEVROLET SCHAUMBURG (1230 E GOLF RD, SCHAUMBURG, IL 60173, (847) 882-2200), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2018 CHEVY MALIBU LS THAT I HAVEN'T OWNED FOR MORE THEN 30 DAYS AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I STARTED IT UP TO LET IT WARM SINCE IT WAS WINTER SO I TOOK IT TO CHRISTENSON CHEVROLET IN HIGHLAND INDIANA AND THE CODE U01B0 CAME UP WHICH IS THE BATTERY SENSOR MODULE AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT AND ENGINEERING IS LOOKING INTO IT AND THE PAPERWORK THEY GAVE ME SHOWS THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2017 AND 2018 MODELS AND NO FIX YET. THEY ARE SELLING CARS WITH DEFECTS AND I TOLD THEM I WANTED A DIFFERENT MODEL OR SAME MODEL AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO TALK TO CORPORATE WHICH I DID AND CORPORATE TOLD ME I HAD TO TALK TO THE DEALER SO NOW I AM IN THE WORKINGS OF FILING A LAWSUIT FOR LEMON LAW SINCE THEY HAVE NO INTENTION ON FIXING THIS PROBLEM SINCE NOW THE REMOTE START WON'T WORK SINCE THIS ISSUE AND CORPORATE ISN'T DOING ANYTHING WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE THE COURTS WILL WORK THIS OUT CHEVROLET USE TO BE A GOOD RELIABLE COMPANY BUT NOT ANYMORE
