2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU Unknown Or Other Problems

have a 2014 Malibu with 132,000 miles. . It stalls in traffic, at intersections and stop signs, which is a dangerous safety issue. The Auto Stop will engage and when I put my foot on the accelerator, it stalls out. Also does it right when I start the engine at times.

Unknown, The ignition switch turns on when off position or restart engine when in off selection on ignition switch And the radio is powered back on if key left in the ignition switch powered off When u leave vehicle

I receive a message on my screen stated to shift to park when it is already in park. I have to wiggle the shifter as well as try multiple times before the screen clears. I looked at information stating this is a problem but not to the level of recall but fixed by the dealership. I was told my vehicle did not qualify for the free repair. Wondering why?

Cant pass smog due to code P2646

Car rolls backwards when stopped on an incline until the brakes are pumped two to three times

I have to change sensor for the oil every year. Small battery in the back I have to replace it every year

I am uncertain of what’s causing this major issue to happen. I see a lot of forums of other customers having the same exact issue and it is a HUGE SAFETY RISK in my personal opinion from experience. For the last maybe 9 months I’ve been dealing with the auto stop feature coming on, then once you let off the break the car doesn’t crank back up. This is very scary in traffic and stoplights much less everywhere!!! I have to turn the key to off and place it back in park, then proceed to crank back up. Only nearly EVERY SINGLE TIME it also will not crank up manually. Also, this issue is not showing ANY check engine codes, so diagnosing this issue has not been resolved. I’ve been stuck waiting 20 minutes or so. Please PLEASE recall whatever is causing this issue for so many of us customers!!!

The Auto Stop/Start feature is experiencing issues where the vehicle fails to restart, resulting in significant disruptions during driving scenarios such as heavy city traffic, stop-and-go traffic, and maneuvering through busy intersections. These incidents not only cause traffic jams and congestion but also force detours for other drivers. Particularly, when encountering highway traffic from exit offramps, sudden stops due to overcrowding and tailgaters trigger the Malibu to auto stop without restarting, creating considerable challenges, especially during rush hours in cities like Atlanta. In each of these circumstances, attempts to restart the vehicle prove futile as the engine endlessly turns over without success. While resolving these situations required considerable effort and time, further elaboration is beyond the scope of this discussion, given the valuable time already expended on addressing these issues.

I bought the car back in 2022 and since then the stop/start started malfunctioning. At first it would stop then be hesitant to start back up then 6 months later it completely would stall at lights and stop signs. Now the aux battery is draining my main battery and I’ve had to tow my car 3 times because I’ve been left stranded. I’m now in that same predicament and it’s 2/26/24

I have a 2014 Malibu with 87,450 miles. It has worked perfectly up until 6 months ago. It started stalling in traffic intersections and at stop signs, which is a dangerous safety issue. The Auto Stop would engage and then when I put my foot on the accelerator, it stalled out. I would turn the vehicle off and restart it. I took it to countless mechanics who could not figure out what was causing the problem because the Check Engine light did not come on and no codes were triggered. The problem became worse over time and once the vehicle stalled, it would not immediately restart. I took it to my Chevy Dealer and they were baffled as well. They uploaded new software which included the Auto Stop feature, but it continued to stall. They replaced the front battery and checked the one in the trunk. It still stalled. The Dealer said that since the Check Engine light did not come on, they were shooting in the dark. I asked them to disconnect the Auto Stop function, but they said that they couldn't. Unlike other models, there was no disconnection method. I have looked at many on-line chats on the 2014 Chevy Malibu and this defect in the Auto Stop function seems pretty prevalent. No one has come up with a workable solution. I filed a Notice of Claim with Chevrolet corporate and asked them to provide a fix. Does anyone have any ideas of either how to fix the Auto Stop or to disable it? Right now I am shifting into neutral at all traffic signals and stop signs, so that the Auto Stop function does not engage, but that seems like a poor fix to the problem.

When I stop my auto stop kicks in and when I take my foot off the brake my car rolls up a little and ends up dying. I have to turn it off and start it up giving it gas to get it going. There have been a couple instances when making a left turn I have almost gotten hit. I am no longer comfortable driving my car. There are several people posting about it online but no reason or fix for it as far as I know of. I have called the dealer and if course they want me to bring it in but I have no money for someone to go on a wild goose chase with my car. I think this should be something Chevrolet needs to figure out.

Auto Start Stop Function (ASSF) malfunction. When releasing foot off brake when (ASSF) was engaged, engine failed to restart. After putting car in park and restarting the engine, it took multiple attempts for car to restart. This has happened numerous times, all of which have been while city driving (i.e. stopping at stop lights, waiting to turn in turn lane, stopped at stop sign) High safety concern for me and for other drivers on roadway. vehicle has been looked at by automotive shop, no definitive answer for the cause. no warning lights or messages appear before/during/ or after malfunction.

The AutoStop/Start feature malfunctioned while at a busy intersection. The AutoStop engaged but failed to start the engine, once pressure was released from the brake pedal. This has been an issue for about a year now. I have replaced both batteries, both VVT sensors, and the oil pressure sensor in the last year, thinking this would solve the issue. This vehicle has not been inspected by a mechanic, just scanned with a handheld scanner at a parts store, every time there is a check engine indicator light on. There are no dash indicators when this malfunctions, I just have to turn the vehicle completely off, or pump the accelerator in order for it to start.

It did not cause a wreck/collision but almost has in several instances. The Start/Stop function will activate but then when it's time for the car to start again it will not and my car will go into traffic and then completely turn off to the point I have to hard start my vehicle. This is making the cars engine light stay illuminated and I've replaced several parts and nothing seems to fix the problem. Every person I've spoke with that has the same year vehicle is having the same issue.08

There seems to be problems with the auto stop that can’t be fixed and is not being addressed by Chevy. When your car gets over 100,000 the problems starts. When your car auto stops when it try’s to switch back to running the car shuts off. You have to turn your car off and restart it. Sometimes it takes more than one try to get your car started. Just recently my car stopped and would not restart til the next day. Luckily I was just at a drive thru and the workers had to push me out. I been doing research and this seems to be happening to a lot of people. It’s only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt. This problem needs to be fixed. Chevy needs to look into this and find a fix it.

My car shut down while behind someone at a traffic light, I had to park car, take key out ignition and but back in then drive. The dealership said I needed new batteries in less than 24hrs and less than 30 miles driven car was doing the same thing. Now sane dealership is saying need a transmission without explanation on what is actually going on. After reading several messages boards it appears this is not an uncommon thing in Chevrolet vehicles with the stop start feature enabled

I’ve had 2 warning messages appear and disappear I now they have been on permanently for the last two days.They messsges are reduced engine power and Service stabilitrac. My car does not seem to want to drive over 40 mph

THIS CAR HAS THE AUTO/STOP FUNCTION. THERE IS NO WAY TO CUT THIS OFF ACCORDING THE THE OWNERS MANUAL OR ONLINE RESEARCH. NOT EVERYTIME BUT IT HAPPENS ALOT. BE DRIVING STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE AUTO STOP KICKS IN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN, STEP ON GAS CAR IS SUPPOSE TO START, DOES NOT START. YOU HAVE TO PUT IN PARK, TURN KEY OFF, ATTEMPT TO CRANK AGAIN BEFORE YOU CAN GO. MEANWHILE PEOPLE ARE AVOIDING HITTING YOU IN THE REAR NOT KNOWING YOU ARE NOT MOVING ETC. ON THE MALIBU FORUM YOU WILL SEE MULIPLE COMPLIANTS FROM MALIBU OWNERS 2014-2016 WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT! I CALLED GM NO RESPONSE . ITS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED OR INJURED FOR GM TO DO A RECALL. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE- PEOPLE COULD REAR END ME , SITTING IN MIDDLE OF A ROAD NOT MOVING!! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. THERE IS NOTHING IN OWNERS MANUAL TELLING HOW TO DISABLE THIS FUNCTION.. ITS USELESS.. DEATH TRAP! PLEASE FORCE GM TO HAVE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BEFORE THERE ARE LAWSUITS INVOLVING DEATHS!!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT!!

Front defroster does not work. Started to function improperly at intermittent intervals but is completely non functional now. Makes driving hazardous as windshield fogs up while driving during cold temperatures and no way to clear it.

WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP... AND THE START STOP IS BEING ACTIVATED IT COMPLETELY SHUTS THE VEHICLE OFF AND IT IS HARD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE... MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO GET SOMEBODY TO JUMP START MY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO GET IT BACK IN MOTION... I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I AM AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THERE IS ONGOING TRAFFIC OR IF I HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES OR IF THERE IS A EMERGENCY

KEY CONSISTING BECOMES STUCK IN THE IGNITION CYLINDER OF MY 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF DUE TO THE KEY BEING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED AND INCREASING THE CHANCE OF THE VEHICLE BEING STOLEN. THERE ARE A MULTITUDE OF VIDEOS FOR THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND ALL ARE ASSOCIATED WITH CHEVROLET VEHICLES. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE OF VEHICLES.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN JANUARY 2020, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THEN ACCELERATES SUDDENLY WHICH IS A HAZARD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE FAULTY PART WAS GM# 12633613 ROCKER ARM CONTROL-SOLENOID VALVE. THE DEALERSHIP FRIENDLY CHEVROLET IN DALLAS, TX TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX THE CAR BECAUSE THE DAMAGED PART WAS OBSOLETE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHEVROLET AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE #9-5872869989 BUT AS I TRY TO FOLLOW UP THEY DON'T ANSWER MY CALLS ANY MORE. CHEVROLET JUST GAVE ME SOME WEBSITES WHERE TO FIND THE PART, BUT NONE OF THE SITES HAS THE PART AND I CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SOLUTION FROM CHEVROLET AND THEY HAVE JUST SENT ME TO LOOK FOR THE PART IN THE AFTERMARKET OR JUNKYARDS. I HAVE WASTED COUNTLESS HOURS LOOKING FOR THE PART WITH NO SUCCESS. PLEASE HAVE THE MANUFACTURER RECALL THE VEHICLE OR START PRODUCING THE PART NUMBER AGAIN SO MY CAR CAN BE FIXED. I WONT BE ABLE TO PASS THE INSPECTION OR SELL THE CAR WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. *TR

MECHANIC STATED MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. AT 93,000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT OCCUR. MY CAR NEEDS REPAIR ALMOST EVERY MONTH. TOOK TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD METAL SHAVINGS IN MY TRANSMISSION. THEN WAS CALLED BACK STATED I DONT. NOW ANOTHER MECHANIC STATED MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT

WHEN I COME TO A FULL STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, WHEN MY CAR TRIES TO USE THE AUTO STOP FEATURE THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT FAILS TO START BACK ON WHICH CAUSES IT TO FULLY TURN OFF WHILE THE KEY IS STILL TURNED AND THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AS IF THE CAR WAS STILL DRIVING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOR DO I KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT. I CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS THINKING THAT MIGHT OF BEEN THE PROBLEM BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME MALFUNCTION. PLEASE HELP.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE READER SHOWED THAT THE VARIABLE TIMING SOLENOID NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER SEARCHING FOR A REPLACEMENT PART, I KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT THIS MAKE/MODEL CONSISTENTLY HAS THIS PROBLEM. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SEEMS TO HAVE A TUGGING FEEL WHEN DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WITH IN TOWN DRIVING AND FREEWAY DRIVING. HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED.

PART NO. 12633613 WHICH IS A VALVE IS CURRENTLY ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 23,000 CUSTOMERS WAITING FOR THIS PART. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED IT'S NOT POSSIBLE THAT 23,000. PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NOT BE RECALLED. NOBODY (DEALERSHIP OR GM) SEEMS TO KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT THE PART, WON'T SAY WHO MAKES THE PART OR WHY IT'S ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER.

THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE AUTO STOP/AUTO START FEATURE. MEANING WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR SHUTS DOWN, THEN WHEN ITS TIME TO GO BY RELEASING THE BRAKES IT WILL RESTART AND MOVE AGAIN. WITH MY MALIBU IT WILL AUTO STOP CONSTANTLY AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN IT WON'T RESTART FOR SOMETIMES MINUTES AT A TIME. HOLDING UP TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND CREATING CHAOS. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK MODE, PULL OUT THE KEY, REINSERT THE KEY AND TRY TO START IT. SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS AFTER ONE TIME OF DOING THIS, BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO FINALLY GETTING IT STARTED. IT STARTED DOING THIS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND SEEMS LIKE ITS GETTING WORSE. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THOSE OF OTHERS IN MY CAR AT THE TIME. PLEASE INVESTIGATE INTO THIS MATTER, THANK YOU.*

I OWN A 2014 CHEVY MALIBU. IT CURRENTLY AS OF TODAY (1/8/2020) IS IN ITS EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE PART MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO FUNCTION AGAIN IS A: INTAKE ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL VALVE, PART# 12633613. THIS PART IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION BY GM AND ACCORDING TO THEM NO ONE MAKES THE PART SO THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY REMEDY THEY OFFER IS TO TAKE THE BROKEN CAR AS A TRADE IN WHEN I PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE FROM THEM. THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY SORT OF REFUND OR REPLACEMENT. THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2014. IT'S NOT AN OLD CAR.

ROCKER ARM CONTROL VALVE- GM PART # 12633613 . CAUSES CHUGGING, SHUDDERING, SLOW ACCELERATION, DELAY WHEN GOING FROM A STOPPED POSITION (I.E. STOP LIGHT/ SIGN), POOR GAS MILEAGE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND WILL NOT ALLOW FOR REMOTE START TO BE USED. DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED OVER 15 MPH, EITHER IN TOWN OR HIGHWAY/ INTERSTATE, THE ENGINE WILL CHUG OR TRY TO STALL. ALSO GOING OVER 45 MPH, WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER WHEN DRIVING. ACCELERATION IS DELAYED, CAUSING ISSUES WHILE AT INTERSECTIONS

Mileage: 80,000

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH AP2646 CODE. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR, AND THE CODE REMAINING I ATTEMPTED TO FIND PART 12633613. UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PART I BROUGHT IT IN TO A GARAGE. THEY REPLACED THE SAME PART I HAD ALREADY REPLACED, AND STILL THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED. THEY WERE ALSO UNABLE TO LOCATE THE REFERENCED PART ONLINE OR THROUGH A DEALERSHIP (MANGINO CHEVROLET). I CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND GM, THE PARTY IS DISCONTINUED AND BACK ORDERED AT PARTS STORES AND DEALERSHIPS. WITHOUT THIS PART, THE CAR CAN NOT BE INSPECTED AND BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE, AND S LEGAL ISSUE OF CONTINUED TO OPERATE ON THE ROAD (IN NY AND ELSEWHERE I IMAGINE). THE PART IS FAULTY ON MANY CARS IF THE BACK ORDER IS AN ACCURATE INDICATION. ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT PREVENT SAFE OPERATION OF THE CAR, THE CAR CAN NOT BE INSPECTED OVERALL FOR SAFETY UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT IS FIXED.

I HAVE A 2014 CHEVY MALIBU LS. ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE CAR ENGINE SHUT STOPPED WORKING, AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME OFF. I HAD TO GET THE ASSISTANCE OF A POLICE OFFICER TO CONTROL TRAFFIC AWAY FROM MY CAR, UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND TOWED IT TO THE SHOP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AUXILIARY BATTERY WAS BAD, AND HAD IT REPLACED. THE CAR IT WORKED WELL. IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR THE CAR ENGINE BEGAN SHUTTING OFF, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AND SOMETIMES AFTER IT WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT. I HAD THE BATTERIES CHECKED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE BAD. I LIVE IN AZ, AND THE WEATHER HERE IS VERY HOT, BOTH WERE REPLACED ON AUGUST 27TH AND 28TH, LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO, WITH TWO NEW BATTERIES. THE CAR WORKED WELL UP UNTIL THIS EVENING, WHEN IT SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AS I WAS DRIVING INTO MY YARD. ALL THE LIGHTS CAME OFF, AND I CANNOT GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I AM GLAD THAT IT HAPPENED WHEN I ENTERED MY YARD AND NOT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WILL TOW IT TO THE SHOP IN THE MORNING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS NOW.

MY WINDSHIELD AND BACK WINDOW WAS FOGGING ON THE INSIDE DURING THE FALL AND FROSTING ON THE INSIDE DURING THE WINTER. MY CARPETS FELT LIKE A SPONGE. IT TURNED OUT THERE WERE 6" OF STANDING WATER UNDER MY FLOORBOARDS ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR (FRONT AND BACK). THE MECHANIC TRACED THIS BACK TO AN OPENING BETWEEN TWO PANELS, JUST BELOW THE WINDSHIELD, THAT WERE NEVER SEALED. HE SAID I WAS LUCKY. IF THE WATER GOT ANY HIGHER, IT COULD HAVE INTERFERED WITH THE ELECTRICAL AND AIRBAG SYSTEM. I ALSO LUCKED OUT IN THAT THERE WAS NO MOLD GROWTH. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW ONLY FIVE YEARS PRIOR AND HAD NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. REPAIR REQUIRED THE REMOVAL OF MY WINDSHIELD, A SIDE PANEL ON THE CAR, MY DRIVER SEAT, AND THE TEARING UP OF MY CARPETS.

THE VEHICLE HAS A AUTO/STOP FEATURE WHICH IS EXTREMELY FAULTY. THE FEATURE IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRONICS RUNNING WHILE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER CERTAIN CRITERIA BEFORE STOPPING IS MET. HOWEVER, THE AUTO/STOP FEATURE ON MY CAR WHEN ACTIVATED CAUSES THE SYSTEM TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND ALL ELECTRONICS GO BLACK UPON STARTING BACK UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALSO COME ON BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING, THERE IS NO WAY I CAN DISABLE THE FEATURE AND THERE IS NO WAY TO REALLY FIX THE ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THAT SOMETHING ELECTRICAL COULD HAPPEN AND THE CAR COULD BE RUINED AS A RESULT.
