2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU Unknown Or Other Problems

I own a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu (VIN: [XXX] , black, approx. 56,310 miles). The paint and clearcoat are failing prematurely, with peeling, cracking, and delamination appearing on the hood and roof panels. A repair estimate confirmed the need for full refinishing and corrosion protection to restore the exterior condition 2016 Chevrolet Malibu . This is not normal wear. The defect stems from faulty paint materials, defective clearcoat, or improper factory application. Although it manifests over time, GM knew or should have known of these issues but sold the Malibu without disclosure and refuses to provide assistance. The defect lowers the resale value, leaves the vehicle exposed to premature corrosion, and requires costly resanding and repainting. I respectfully request NHTSA investigate paint and clearcoat defects in the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu and determine whether a recall, service campaign, or consumer restitution is warranted.

When I go down a hill the rpms jump up to 4, sometimes 5. I took the vehicle to the dealership and went on a drive, but no problem was determined. There was no warning lamps. To my knowledge, it started last year.

INTERMITTENT SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE DISPLAYED WHILE VEHICLE IN PARK. TWO STATES HAVE SUED AND WON TO HAVE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. (OHIO AND TENN.) SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. WHY NOT. GM SERVICE BULLETIN 19-NA-206, MARCH2024

Vehicle isn’t recognizing that it’s in park, shift to park keeps coming on dashboard which is also causing my vehicle not to change gears correctly

2016 Chevy Malibu is experiencing a “Shift to Park” issue, where the car does not recognize it is in Park even after shifting correctly. This prevents the vehicle from turning off, leaving lights and electronics running, which can drain the battery. A service advisor at AutoNation Chevrolet Orlando confirmed this is a common problem in GM vehicles like the Traverse and Silverado. She explained the repair—replacing the faulty sensor/shifter assembly—typically costs around $800. Beyond battery drain, there are safety concerns, since the system’s failure to recognize Park could risk the car rolling if the brakes disengage. The issue first appeared about four months ago, went away, and has now reoccurred.

Water leaking and running into spare tire compartment in truck. Due to no recall alert and dealership won't do anything, now my dome light shorts out and water stain on ceiling liner by rear window.

To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally report a recurring safety-related issue with my 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. The vehicle consistently displays a “Shift to Park” warning message, even when the gear selector is properly in the Park position. This malfunction prevents the car from turning off completely and poses a serious safety and reliability concern. This issue first occurred while the vehicle was under warranty, and the dealership performed a repair. However, the problem has returned, and my warranty has since expired. Despite the previous fix, the issue continues to persist. This malfunction is widely documented among other 2016–2019 Chevy Malibu owners and appears to stem from a design or manufacturing flaw in the shifter assembly or park switch. I am concerned that this defect could: Prevent the vehicle from being securely parked. Lead to battery drain due to the vehicle not shutting off. Pose a risk if the driver believes the car is in park when it is not. I am requesting that Chevrolet consider this a safety defect and either recall the affected vehicles or offer extended coverage for repairs. I also ask that NHTSA investigate this issue further as it compromises the safety, reliability, and proper functioning of the vehicle. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I would appreciate any assistance or updates regarding how this issue will be addressed.

Vehicle will display on dashboard “Shift to park” while the vehicle is placed in “P”. The engine will turn off, but the power remains on until the battery is disconnected from the vehicle. Codes have been verified by the Chevrolet dealership.

Shift to park message on odometer after vehicle is already in park

Happened around 46000 miles after receiving a recall notice in the mail about the pedal positioning sensor causing a reduced engine power signal, and immediately reducing speeds on the interstate. Local Chevy dealership replaced. Fast-forward 80K miles and the same incident is happening, however likely not going to be covered by GM. Same message, same code being detected.

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding an ongoing issue I have encountered with my 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Recently, I experienced a significant problem with the vehicle’s trunk and rear seat release mechanism, which has made it impossible for me to access the trunk or fold down the rear seats. The specific issues I am facing are as follows: Trunk Latch Stuck: The trunk latch has become stuck, and I am unable to open the trunk manually or with the remote key fob. The latch mechanism appears to be malfunctioning, and it will not unlatch when attempting to open it. Remote Key Fob Failure: The remote key fob, which is typically used to release the trunk, no longer works, making it impossible to access the trunk from outside the vehicle. Seat Release Mechanism: Additionally, the release button for folding down the rear seats is also not functioning, and I cannot lower the seats from inside the cabin. Typically, this release mechanism can be accessed from the trunk; however, due to the trunk being inaccessible, I am unable to release the seats, which is an urgent issue. This situation is highly inconvenient and concerning, as I rely on the trunk and rear seats for storage and daily functionality. The inability to access the trunk or fold down the seats creates a major safety and usability issue, especially in situations where I need access to the trunk in emergencies. I kindly request that this issue be investigated and resolved as soon as possible. Ideally, I would like to have the trunk latch mechanism repaired and the seat release system fixed so that I can safely and reliably use my vehicle. Please let me know how we can proceed to address this matter, whether through an inspection, repair, or replacement of the defective components. Thank you for your prompt attention to this complaint. I look forward to your swift response and resolution to ensure that my vehicle remains functional and accessible.

The car has a seat belt electrical problem it makes sound once in a while indicating for the driver to put their seat belt on. Also there is issues with the brake sensor. The #1 issue is the Transmission Accumulator Pressure Pipe, when it breaks all your transmission oil pours out from the bottom of the vehicle. The part is about $20 but if not installed right you will think that your transmission is dead but it's not.

I started smelling a strong smell of gas while operating the vehicle. Took to a dealership who diagnosed a turbocharger clamp and exhaust failure. From what I understand I am not the only one with a clamp/exhaust/seal problem. A friend of mine who owned a GM product had similar problems to the point her engine failed altogether. Please investigate!

When putting it in park and shutting the car down it says on dash to “shift to park.” There are other 2016 malibu that have this recall but for some reason not mine.

I am having to replace the VACUUM PUMP for the second time. Each time the pump breaks it spreads contaminants inside the camshaft compartment causing further issues. This is a common problem according to the many complaints I've seen on auto sites. This should be a recall.

When driving the car it will stop mid drive and slow to 20MPH. The car has broken down in the middle of the road on multiple occasions. It has locked me in the car where I am unable to get out. On one occasion the battery was dead and the car had locked me out. I had to have someone unlock it. The next day the car was fine with no signs of issues. The car has been taken to multiple mechanics and no one knows the issue. Car doesn’t throw any codes or show any symptoms of issues.

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS SINCE 4/30/2024 stabilitrack warning on Ipc, security light, power steering goes out on freeway-while turning in an intersection-going 75 on the freeway while changing lanes, IPC displays ice warning when 90• outside, erratic shifting(being stuck in 2nd gear until it shifts to 4th), no start no crank condition ( I replaced the battery,had alternator tested, tested fuses, fuel pressure test, checked spark plugs and coil packs) key fob not unlocking doors or remote starting (battery was changed) passenger seat will only recline on one side, power mirrors erratically moving without user adjustment, Climate control sporadically disconnects (no lights in dash no power at all) I have not taken it to a dealership I can’t afford the outrageous prices. I have had my father (certified ford technician) inspect the car. This car has become unsafe for me to drive with my children and I am terrified that it’s going to cause us to wreck and cause serious injury or death

While traveling at normal speed (55-60MPH) Engine Power Reduced message pops up and car will not accelerate until I pull over, turn it off, then back on after a period of time. Message is beginning to come up frequently. Occurred 3 times this morning on the way to work.

Reduce engine power warning ‼️ losing power on highway and shift to park warning ‼️

Occasionally when the car is put in park, it does not alert the rest of the car that it's in park. Although I turn the car off, it beeps like it's still on an I have to turn the car on again and move it back into park in order for it to stop. There has been a recall for this issue but so far, my car has not shown up and for that reason, the dealer/mechanic will not repair it which is understandable on their part. Please advise. Thank you.

Car moves even in park due to faulty gear shifter. It’s made of plastic. Computer reads error message “shift to park” and still moves while in park. A danger to other cars and car battery.

REAR SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT. WILL NOT ENGAGE INTO PARK WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF. TRUNK, BACK SEAT, HEADLINER, ENTIRE CARPETED FLOOR, FRONT SEATS GET WET WHEN CAR IS WASHED OR IT RAINS. MOLD IS BEGINNING TO GROW INSIDE TRUNK AND HEADLINER.

Charged air cooler makes it so your car slows down to 20 on interstate

Warning display on dash reads "Engine power is reduced " and forces and abrupt reduction on vehicle speed, Especially on highway driving on commute. Noticed online multiple similar concerns and complaints. No recall or extended warranty?

The engine only has 78K miles on it. I took it in because I received a notification that said stabilitrack. First I had a mechanic change the spark plugs, then I was told I had to take it in for a bigger issue with the engine. I was told it would cost $2500 just to break down the engine and diagnose it. Then I was quoted 11k on top of that to completely replace the engine. 78k miles and the engine needs replacing for more then the car is worth. The diagnosis was that I had a piston crack and the whole engine was ruined.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The engine oil pressure control circuit is stuck. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I was driving when all of a sudden my car would not let me speed up to the speed limit and almost caused someone to rear end me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Dick Allen's in Meadville as well as AutoZone who read the code Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning until the light came on and the car slowed down. This is the 3rd time this has happened. Previously I was told to put Cataclean into my fuel to help which it did but it seems to only be a temporary solution.

I was driving down the interstate when all of a sudden my information center on my was driving down the interstate when all of a sudden my information center on my 2016 Chevy Malibu popped up a warning, reduced engine power and drop me down to 20 mph without warning. I barely made it to the side of the road before being run over by 18 wheelers all around me. Once I got it home I read the code, and it shows there’s not enough power going to the turbo in the engine that’s caused by the accelerator sensor. When I start at low speed or from a stop in attempt to accelerate the car hesitates to the point I can’t pull out with any cars around because I will be hit. I’ve been told this is a known problem for the vehicle and it’s a $500 part to fix. It’s extremely dangerous and I am so shocked there has not been a recall for this, it is putting everybody that is in one of these vehicles in danger

automatic transmission shifter assembly is out of specifications and needed to be replaced by removing the center console to gain access with all other related new seals gaskets and non-reusable hardware and reinstall all components for repairs in the reverse order of removal. cleared all diagnostic trouble codes. the system is NOW operating as designed. Before the repair was made the car kept telling me that the shift was NOT in park, when it was. I am uncertain as to my safety or risk but was afraid to drive the vehicle as is. The repair was made on 8/17/23 by Richard Lucas Chevy, 1077 Rt.1 S, Avenel, NJ 07001 732-634-0100 at the cost to me of $435.42. My claim with GM is [XXX]. I was notified that this was a common problem with my specific vehicle and yet there has been no recall. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I bought the car brand new. Periodically the doors will not lock or unlock, only one at a time. I have had it in the shop on numerous occasions to get it repaired. It's fine for a while then it does it again, it changes from door to door. Now I can not get the driver's side back door to lock. My dash lights up to let me know the door is unlocked. I am afraid when i go to a public place, that someone will get into my car. I am so aggervated with this. I have an appointment AGAIN with the dealership for 8/16/23 for them to look at it and try to solve the problem. I have no idea when this started as it's been ongoing. The dealership is Wantz Chevrolet in Taneytown MD

Car indicator states to shift into park upon stopping. Have to restart car move shift lever several times before car system will shut down. Same issue was repaired by Team Chevrolet of Goldsboro NC on9/7/2022. Repair cost 279.88. Dealership replaced harness and updated wiring. Situation has returned with worse condition. Spent 20 mins trying to "shift into park ". On off shift on off shift off.

Ever time I put car in park it say shit to park I have to restart the car 3 or 4 time and move shift stricken more then 3 time to finally make it go off

In November 2022 my vehicle (2016 Chevrolet Malibu) experienced a vacuum pump failure resulting in the brake system being inactive. Once the brake pedal was pressed, it remained locked and further stopping was not possible. Luckily I wads able to stop onto the shoulder, however it was on a busy highway where I was nearly unable to stop as we were merging from an exit ramp with no emergency area. Both myself and my girlfriend safety were at risk of injury had we not been able to safely pull over. After being towed to an auto repair shop the vacuum pump was replaced with no issues experience until 4/2/2023. As of April 2023 this same error occurred once again after entering a busy area. A second time I was lucky enough to have been away from traffic, however it could have resulted in personal injury or the injury of another individual had I not been able to pull off into an emergency lane. The car has since been towed to a certified Chevrolet dealership where I am awaiting an estimate on repairs. Initial review from the mechanics state damage has been done to the brake boosters as well as to the cars cam. Estimates on repairs could be as high as $5,000 or more including labor, diagnostics, and parts. Prior repairs done in November were nearly $700.00

I purchased my car a lil over a year ago with carmax and as of this winter time & all the rain storms my car has recently starting leaking water from the top of my car to back from the backseats to my trunk to the point I had to take everything out of my backseats and trunk because it’s soaked with water….I have to vacuum water out of my trunk in the spare tire cabin because it’s full of water & now my car is starting to smell mildew due to all the water. I’ve noticed this issue a couple weeks ago but now since it’s been constantly raining I’m having water inside my car every single day.

Numerous times my vehicle has not allowed me to shut it off, start it, or move the vehicle because it says that the vehicle is not in park when it very clearly is. I googled the issue and found that numerous other owners have had this issue, and the tech advisor at the dealer confirmed numerous people have had this issue as well. The issue was a faulty switch in the transmission control. 2 different major safety concerns resulted because of this. First, I was unable to start my car in a very bad neighborhood for over a half hour because it kept saying shift to park to start vehicle. Second, I could not shut the car off while parked in the garage because it said shift to park to shut off the vehicle. Both times I was fully in park. This problem is widespread as a simple google search will confirm, however, GM continues to deny it is a problem.

I have had several issues with my 2016 Malibu. 1st: Putting my vehicle in park sometimes it does not register that it is in park. I have to turn the car on again and try moving the shifter until it registers. 2nd: when accelerating at times i get a stabilitrak error and a check engine light that causes a loss of power. This can happen in the middle of the highway which will cause an inevitable accident. 3rd: saving the best for last. Thw vehicle has recently lost power while driving and won't allow acceleration. Once i stop the vehicle stalls out completely and won't register the gears so i can't out it into park or anything. I was stuck at an intersection and couldn't move. It wouldn't turn fully off because it didn't register it was in park. And it won't turn on or start because it isn't on or off. I maintain my vehicles and correct all fixes recommended. Brought it in to have the issue looked at and was told that there were A LOT of error codes. They cleared them. But this has gotten ridiculous. GM needs to figure their stuff out..

I was driving all of a sudden my car goes from drive to park on the freeway. Then it goes into reverse.

When I was driving to work, a light appeared on my dashboard stating that my "Engine Power Reduced". When I was in the left lane passing a vehicle, my car slowed down to 40pmh instead of accelerating when I had pressed the gas pedal. The car behind me almost re ended me in the process. This has happened now on a couple of occasions afterwards.

All of a sudden my Pistons just went in my car the whole engine block actually. There was never any warning or anything I got an oil change and after the oil change the check engine light came on plus it said service stabilitrak. Without the stability track you can get into an accident because the car is not in control the way it's supposed to be. The Pistons being worn in the engine block going. Without any notice of anything being wrong. Causes bad emissions leaks etc. The dealership knows about it. They can't give me a reason why the Pistons and the engine block went. Or why this service to stabilitrak came on. They're trying to say it's a pipe that has a dent in it. But the entire system is rotted out it only has 34,418 mi on it.

Reduced engine power on my display for the 3rd time since I purchased the vehicle. This is ridiculous and needs to be addressed. Good thing it never happened on a highway. This is a safety hazard to people and property. Regards, [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

My 2016 Chevy Malibu Premier continues to show a “Shift to Park" message” even when I put the car in park! When this “Shift to Park" Message” is on, I cannot turn off the vehicle. In order for the message to go off, I have to either back up, or pull the car forward a little in order to make the message goes off. This is starting to happen daily with this car. This is very frustrating.

I was driving down the highway and the gas pedal came completely off. It completely unattached.

Seem to be a common problem... Backup camera stops working. Creates a safety problem at Busy shopping centers. GM will not cover the repair.

Water seeps into the third break light n could cause being shocked . and wets the headliner which causes mold in the cabin of vehicle . water also seeps into spare tire

Yesterday I was driving down the freeway at 70 mph when the car slowed down to 30 miles a hour and the message engine power is reduced comes on. Had to exit the freeway and turn off the car. Then it was fine.

Loss of engine power; vehicle not shifting/idling; shift to park issue

The morning I started my trip. My back up camera stayed on. I stopped turned the car off and back on. It was still on. Turned it off again. This time the camera went off. I was going up the cajon pass. No warning light or anything. Was coming up to my exit. Tried to slow down to exit. Couldn't press my brakes. They were rock hard to press. Took my foot off gas. Slowed down enough to get to the shoulder of the road. Once I was able to stop. My brakes were hard to press they made a clunk noise. I noticed the check engine light was on. I could of been killed had someone been in front of me and stopped. Or I could of killed someone. This is not the first time these brakes have done this. They did it earlier this year I wasn't able to press my brakes as and when I was it made the same noise. I had it towed to dealer to be fixed. They said they fixed it. This could of killed me or someone else as I was traveling on the freeway at faster speeds than the streets

CHMSL water leaking inside the vehicle from rear roof stop light, it’s a speacial coverage from GM. My vehicle has odor smell & inside water damage & mold Starling Chevrolet Orlando is non cooperative & giving me false information & run around between dealership & GM

While I was pulling into a parking spot, my 2016 Chevrolet Malibu suddenly accelerated without any prior warning. The sudden unintended acceleration caused the vehicle to somehow jump the curb, hit a sign, and go airborne landing on two park cars which, resulted in damage to the front end and passenger side fender, front grill, left tire and other parts. The car was leaning to one side and I had to pry open the driver side door to get out. One of the other cars was totaled and the other had hood damage. It took two tow trucks to remove the car off of the other cars, it was towed to a repair shop and repaired by my insurance company but I no longer have possession of it. I was too terrified of it to keep it. It is still unknown what caused the vehicle to malfunction.

My vehicle, a 2016 Chevy Malibu, has started receiving the *known* GM "Shift to Park" error message. This error message occurs when the vehicle is in park, but the driver information center (in the dashboard) alerts to "Shift to Park" before you can shut off the vehicle. If you try to exit the vehicle with the error message, all electronic systems (screen, lights, dash, etc) will stay on, draining down the car battery, putting me at risk of being stranded due to a known issue in my car and/or me having to leave my car running, putting my car at risk of being broken into, stolen, or worse. I have wasted countless hours already, in the very short time the error has occurred, having to shift out of park, reverse, drive, back into park, and keep trying over and over and over and over and over and over and over, until it finally might register. One evening, it took over two hours for this to work. This is a HUGE risk to me, especially in the city I live in, as a single woman. Furthermore, the fact that GM and NHTSA have a service bulletin on this, and it is a *known* issue in my year, make, and model, on top of the thousands and thousands of online forums reporting this same issue, tells me that this is much, much larger than anyone (especially GM) would like to admit, and that my car needs to be included in the recall for this.

Transmission problems

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN ON A STREET HEADING TOWARDS THE HIGHWAY AT 40 MPH AND SUDDENLY ENGINE REDUCED POWER NOTIFICATION CAME UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE FASTER THAN 20 MPH.

Mileage: 54,000

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55MPH - 2-LANE ROAD (4 DAYS AGO) WHEN A WARNING CAME ACROSS MY DASH THAT STATED "REDUCING ENGINE POWER". IT SLOWED MY VEHICLE DOWN A MININUM OF 20MPH AND WOULDN'T PICK UP SPEED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE. I RESTARTED IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY HOOKED IT UP. IT READ A P2138 CODE. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS COULD'VE CAUSED A DEVISTATING CRASH. I FOUND WHERE GM EXTENDED THE WARRANTY AND THIS FIX SHOULD NOT COST ME ANYTHING - I WILL SEE WHEN I TAKE IT IN TOMORROW.

Mileage: 51,000

THE VEHICLE RUNS FINE OTHER THAN WHEN THE PROBLEMS START ACTING UP. IT IS A BCM ISSUE INVOLVING THE STABILITRAK AND ABS. EVERY FEW WEEKS OR SO, I'LL GET 3 SERVICE LIGHT UPS IN MY DASH STATING 'SERVICE VEHICLE SOON, SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST, REDUCED POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE' AFTER COMING TO A STOP. WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE CAR WILL REV UP AND DOWN THEN THOSE MESSAGES POP UP AS I CANNOT SPEED UP OR DRIVE. ONCE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP IT SHUTS OFF AND WON'T TURN BACK ON UNTIL ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER. I'VE PUT $700 IN IT REPLACING SPEED SENSORS, VACUUM PUMP AND VACUUM SENSOR AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AS IT ALREADY OCCURRED AT AN INTERSECTION STOPLIGHT IN COLUMBUS OHIO

Mileage: 125,000

"SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM" ALWAYS COMES BACK NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I'VE TAKEN IT TO A CHEVY DEALER! NO KNOWN FIX - STRAIGHT FROM GM THERE ISN'T ANY KNOWN FIX. THEY THOUGHT IT'S WHEN YOU USE REMOTE START ... WELL I DIDN'T USE THE REMOTE START AFTER CHEVY "REPROGRAMMED" THE CAR AND THE MESSAGE CAME BACK AND I CANNOT USE THE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM PLUS WHY HAVE A FEATURE THAT CANNOT BE USED. CAR IS BELOW 50,000 MILES AND VERY LIGHTLY DRIVEN - THE AVERAGE SPEED ACCORDING TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER IS 38 MPH. ALSO SERVICE TRANSMISSION COMES UP WITH SOME SOLENOID TROUBLE CODE AND DISPLAYS "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" AT FIRST INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOW EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. IT BANGS INTO WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1 TO 2 WHEN DRIVEN. THE BODY PANEL ON THE DOOR BETWEEN THE DOORS IS FLAKING. I'VE GOTTEN A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY IN PARK WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY.

MOST TIMES, WHEN I'M DONE DRIVING AND SHIFT MY CAR TO PARK A WARNING COMES UP MY DASH SAYING 'SHIFT TO PARK' EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. I THEN HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR, CHANGE THE GEARS AND HOPE IT DOESN'T GIVE ME THAT MESSAGE AGAIN. I OFTEN HAVE TO REPEAT THIS PROCESS 2-3 TIMES AFTER I'M DONE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO PARK AND SHUT OFF MY CAR. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THAT I SHIFT MY CAR TO PARK AND TRY AND SHUT MY CAR OFF, BUT IT HAPPENS A LOT OF THE TIME. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING AND TIME CONSUMING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW. MY SISTER ALSO HAS A 2016 MALIBU AND HERS IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING.

WHEN DRIVING, HITTING A BUMP, GOING OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD, OR EVEN PULLING INTO A DRIVE WAY MY CAR MAKES A CREEPING, THUMPING SOUND IN THE REAR. EVEN WHILE IN PARK IF SOMEONE PUSHES DOWN ON THE TRUNK IT MAKES THE NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS. I HAD BOTH REPLACED AND THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN WORSE. ALSO, EACH TIME IT RAINS THERE IS WATER UNDERNEATH MY SPARE TIRE AND MY FLOOR GETS WET ON THE BACK ROW.

Mileage: 10

THE MAIN REAR WINDOW DIDN'T HAVE A PROPER SEAL. ON BOTH SIDES IN THE CORNERS OF THE REAR WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE, THERE IS A LEAKAGE. EVERY TIME IT RAINS, YOU CAN SEE WATER DAMAGE. YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE AFTER EFFECTS OF THE CEILING BEING STAINED. REALIZED THIS AFTER IT RAINED WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

Mileage: 32,641

THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING NORMAL AND SUDDENLY SHUTS DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. UPON PARKING, YOU TRY TO START THE CAR, AND IT WON'T. WAIT FOR APPROX. 30 MINS AND THE CAR STARTS BUT A BIT ROUGH FIRST AND THEN DRIVES.

Mileage: 109,000

AFTER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, IT SAYS TO SHIFT TO PARK. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE AND DRIVE AGAIN. SOMETIMES THIS WORKS, BUT IT IS GETTING MORE DIFFICULT TO GET THE CAR TO SHUT OFF. THE CAR BEEPS AT ME AND WON'T SHUT THE RADIO OFF WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THAT I HAVE SHIFTED TO PARK. THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN JULY, 2020. AT FIRST THIS ONLY HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY. NOW IT IS HAPPENING EVERY TIME I TURN THE CAR OFF.

Mileage: 42,000

I HAVE NOTICED A POPPING NOISE ON THE BACK END OF MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I WENT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR. I WENT ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES BY THE TIME THEY COULD HEAR WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IN JUNE 2020 THEY INSTALLED WASHERS TO PREVENT CONTACT FROM THE STRUT. THAT DID NOT WORK. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS STILL MAKING THAT SOUND. IT SEEMS TO BE LOUDER WHEN DRIVING SLOW OR WHEN IT HEATS UP OUTSIDE LATER ON IN THE DAY. IT ALSO MAKES THAT POPPING NOISE WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF BRAKE AT A STOP LIGHT BEFORE I ACCELERATE. IT MAKES THE POPPING NOISE SOMETIMES WHEN I SIT DOWN IN THE CAR. ONE DAY I WAS BOUNCING IN THE DRIVER SEAT TO SEE IF I COULD DUPLICATE THE SOUND AND IT WAS POPPING LOUDLY.

MY SHIFT TO PARK INDICATOR DISPLAYS ON THE DASH WHEN MY CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. THE CAR CAN'T BE TURNED OFF UNTIL THE INDICATOR GOES OFF. I USUALLY CHANGE GEARS AND PUT BACK IN PARK OR PUSH IT HARDER WHILE IT IS ALREADY IN PARK. I HAD THIS REPAIRED ON 9/14/18. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SHIFT LEVEL SELECTOR. IT IS NOW DOING IT AGAIN. IT STARTED THAT SHIFT TO PARK AGAIN ON 8/7/2020.

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE WHILE OPERATING IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE AT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER HOWEVER THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE IT MAY BE COMING FROM MY BACK AXLES AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AFFECTED BY A MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM SPEED. I HAVE ENSURED ALL BRACKETS ARE SECURED INSIDE OF MY TRUNK AS I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING LOOSE . *TR

SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN BY CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPT AND I HAVE CHECKED OTHER FORUMS. WHEN YOU SHIFT CAR TO PARK AND TRY TO TURN OFF THE CAR, IT TELLS YOU TO SHIFT TO PARK. THE CAR WON'T SHUT OFF. I HAD TO SHIFT BACK AND FORTH QUITE A FEW TIMES FOR IT TO FINALLY WORK. SERVICE REPLACED THE "HARNESS" FOR ROUGHLY $100 WHICH WORKED TEMPORARILY BUT STARTED IN AGAIN. SO NEW SHIFTER HAS BEEN ORDERED AT COST OF APPROX $350. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE HAD. MINE IS A 2016 WITH VERY LOW MILES. THEY HAVE LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH '16, '17 AND SOME '18. I HATE FIXING AGAIN AND HAVE IT HAPPEN IN ANOTHER 20K MILES..... RECALL PLEASE?!?! *TR

WHEN I PRESS THE GAS IT HESITATE TO MOVE FORWARD AND ALSO MY BATTERY SENSORY HAS GONE OUT. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT BEING AN ECO WHICH HAS CAUSED MAJOR ISSUES TO MY TRANSMISSION AND OTHER PARTS OF MY CAR.

I HAVE A 2016 MALIBU THAT BACK WINDOW HAS BEEN LEAKING ( POURING) WATER THRU. RAIN AND CAN'T EVEN GET A CARWASH, WHICH, DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A CARE WASH KNOWING THAT THERE ARE WATER STAINS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS DEALERSHIP SAID I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS PROB A COUPLE MONTHS LATER HAD RECEIVED A LETTER OF A RECALL ABOUT THIS BUT DEALERSHIP SAID I WAS OVER MILES AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE.,? IF IT IS A RECALL.... WHY?

I PURCHASED 2016 MALIBU 10/2016 AND AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 6MONTHS THE CHECK ENGINE/REDUCE SPEED LIGHTS STARTING COMING ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK OVER 20TIMES AND THE ISSUES WAS NEVER FIXED. I ASK COULD THEY JUST REPLACE THE CALL SINCE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIXED IT. SO, AND STILL HAVING THIS ISSUES. GM EXTENDED THE RECALL AND I TOOK IT BACK IN YESTERDAY MARCH 18, 2020. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS FIXED AND TO PICK IT UP. SO, I GET THERE DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT THE LOT. SO, I RETURN BACK TO THE SERVICE DESK AND I WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. SO I ASK WHY THIS ISN'T ON MY SERVICE SHEET I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS WIPED OUT AND THAT I HAD TO REQUEST IT. PUTTING ME BACK IN DANGER. THIS HAS BEEN A HEADACHE. I FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT AND THEY OFFER MY 4500 AND I OWE 18,000 ON A CAR THAT HAVE BEEN GIVING ME ISSUES FROM THE DAY ONE. GM OFFERING TO SETTLE OUT FOR 4500 IS ADMITTING FOUGHT

SECOND TIME I WAS AT ANOTHER STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AGAIN. SAME THING STARTED BACK UP AFTER ABOUT 2-3 MIN OF RE TRYING. THIRD TIME WAS YESTERDAY I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN WENT TO RE START IT AND NOTHING. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES IT STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT CAN TAKE HOURS TO DAYS TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I DONT EVEN WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE CONSIDERING I COULD HARM MYSELF AND POTENTIALLY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL OR BULLETINS ON THE PROBLEM. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE LOOKS LIKE A GOOD AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

Mileage: 82,000

THE TRUNK OF THE CAR IS FILLED WITH WATER THAT HAS BEEN DRIPPING OUT ALL DAY. THE REAR ROOF OF THE CAR IS SOAKED ON BOTH SIDES. THE CAR SMELLS MUSTY & ALL OF THE INSIDE WINDOWS HAD SO MUCH CONDENSATION IT WAS DRIPPING.

THE HIGH MOUNTED TAIL LIGHT POPS UP AND HAS CAUSED LEAKAGE INSIDE THE VECHILE. ALSO THE ESC WARNING LIGHT COME ON FOR NO REASON UNDER REGULAR DRIVING CONDITIONS AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN YOU PUT CAR IN PARK IT WILL STATE THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK SO YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE SHIFTER A LITTLE.

IT WILL CRANK BACK UP, SOMETIMES, BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES QUITE A FEW TIMES. ALSO, AGAIN AS I CRANK UP. IT GOES BACK TO OFF. INSTEAD OF GOING TO AUTO STOP, IT WILL CUT COMPLETELY OFF TOO. I HAVE NO ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER LIGHTS THAT COME ON TO ALERT ME THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND IT IS CONCERNING. ALSO, IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS KICKING OR FIRING BACK NOW WHEN I AM DRIVING. THIS IS RANDOM ALSO.

WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS SHIFT TO PARK IN THE MALIBU. THIS CAUSES THE BATTERY TO DIE SO BOTH PARTS HAVE TO BE REPLACED. CHEVY HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SHIFT TO PARK. I CAN SPEND UP TO 10 MINUTES TRYING TO GET THAT MESSAGE OFF. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE DEALERS KNOW THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE 2016 MALIBU BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT! I WILL ALSO BE GOING TO THE MEDIA WITH THIS.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN PARK, THE ENGINE DOES NOT SHUT DOWN WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER IT STATES THE KEY MAY BE REMOVED WHEN IN PARK CAUSING THE IGNITION NOT TO SHUT DOWN. I AM UNAWARE THERE ARE ANY VEHICLES, THIS MAKE AND MODEL, WHICH HAVE KEYED IGNITIONS. I BELIEVE THEY ARE ALL PUSH BUTTON START AND STOP. MY VEHICLE HAS 18,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ISSUE STARTED AT 17,000 MILES AND CHEVY REFUSED TO FIX IT.

Mileage: 17,000

MY ISSUE STARTED A FEW DAYS AGO AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I PLACE THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND A MESSAGE APPEARS TO "SHIFT TO PARK" CAR IS TURNED OFF AND ALREADY IN PARK AND YOU CANNOT JUST GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE FOR IT TO GO AWAY IT JUST REMAINS ON THE SCREEN AND THE CAR REMAINS ON IN AN AUXILIARY TYPE MODE WHICH I'M PRETTY SURE IF LEFT ALONE WOULD EVENTUALLY DRAIN THE BATTERY. IT HAD GOTTEN WORSE SINCE I WAS HAVING TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD REGISTER IT WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK. THE DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY HAS MY CAR AND HAS TOLD ME THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED. I HAD SENT THEM A SCREEN SHOT OF THE SERVICE REPORT FROM GM WHICH YOU CAN FIND HERE HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2018/MC-10154985-999.PDF WHICH STATES THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING. MY CAR HAS 21K MILES ON IT AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR TWO YEARS. I'M GOING TO BE VERY UPSET IF I END UP HAVING TO PAY THIS OUT OF POCKET EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL TECHNICALLY UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE DATE I PURCHASED IN 2017.

WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND KILL THE MOTOR IT IS NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE CAR IS IN PARK. THE RADIO KEEPS PLAYING AND THE INFORMATION BOARD READS "SHIFT TO PARK". THIS HAS TO BE DONE REPEATEDLY. IT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE BUT STOPPED. IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN 6/20/2019

I HAVE A 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU WITH ROUGHLY 50,000 MILES ON IT. FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW, IT IS NO LONGER RECOGNIZING WHEN THE CAR IS PLACED IN PARK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER (WHERE WE HAVE ALL OIL CHANGES/WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE) AND THEY STATED THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACING. I AM QUITE UPSET OVER THIS AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO INDIVIDUALS AND GM IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE A SHIFTER ASSEMBLY IN THIS NEW OF A CAR AND ESPECIALLY A CAR THAT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $1,000 TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE DOING ALL THE NECESSARY WORK/OIL CHANGES AND ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND YOU GO TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, AN ALARM DINGS AND DISPLAYS A MESSAGE SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK." THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, YOU CAN REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND IT DOES NOT ROLL. YOU CAN NOT WALK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BATTERY WILL THEN DRAIN. NORMALLY, VEHICLE HAS TO BE RESTARTED AND PLACED IN DRIVE THEN SHIFT BACK TO PARK IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO OFF. THIS IS HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY NOW. THIS COULD BECOME EVEN A GREATER ISSUE THAN GM IS REALIZING AS IF YOU DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE MESSAGE, YOUR CAR CAN REMAIN ON AND INDIVIDUALS COULD DIE FROM CARBON MONOXIDE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT GM & CHEVY NEEDS TO ADDRESS SOONER THAN LATER.

"TAKATA RECALL" IHAVE A 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU IT HAS 23000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER RECOGNIZING WHEN I PLACED IT IN PARK. MY 36,000MILE WARRANTY ENDED 2 MONTHS AGO TO THE DAY I HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY, I AM QUITE UPSET BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY 23,000 MILES ON THIS AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY OR AS A RECALL. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL REPORTS RECENTLY REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE IN THE 2016 CHEVY MALIBU'S THAT ARE THE SAME STYLE AS MINE. BOTTOM LINE 23,000 MILES ON A CHEVY MALIBU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE A SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AND COST 1300 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET TO DO SO. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE DOING ALL OF THE NECESSARY WORK OR OIL CHANGES AND RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE I HAVE PLACED IT IN PARK AND AN ALARM GOES OFF SAYING PLACE YOUR VEHICLE IN PARK, IT'S IN PARK BUT YOU CANNOT WALK AWAY FROM THE CAR BECAUSE THE BATTERY WILL THEN DRAIN OR I WILL HAVE BIGGER ISSUES. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR, SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND SLOWLY PLACE MY CAR IN PARK TO GET THE MESSAGE TO CLEAR AND IT RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS AT WORK, IN A PARKING LOT, IN MY GARAGE, AT THE STORE, AND SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW AFTER RESTARTING AGAIN AND AGAIN.

THERE IS TIMES I WILL STOP PUT CAR IN PARK AND SHUT ENGINE OFF AND THE SCREEN WILL READ SHIFT TO PARK. SO I WILL HAVE TO START IT AGAIN PULL AHEAD OR BACK UP AND TRY IT AGAIN.

MY 2016 CHEVY MALIBU HAS 93,000 MILES ON IT. NO ISSUES UNTIL THIS DAY. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING IT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT 40 MILES FROM MY HOME. WHEN I GOT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES. THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED AT TOP OF THE PEDAL. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. SCARED THE [XXX] OUT OF ME! DROPPED THE PEOPLE OFF. DROVE 3 BLOCKS TO A 7 11, SCARED TO DRIVE ANY FURTHER. PARKED AND THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT START. WAITING 3 HOURS FOR THE TOW TRUCK, FINALLY GOT THE CHEVY MALIBU AND MYSELF HOME A 5AM. HAD A MOBILE MECHANIC RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT. MULTIPLE ISSUES CAME UP. EVERYTHING FROM MULTIPLE BRAKE ISSUES AND EVEN MORE ENGINE ISSUES. HAD TO TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP NEAR BY. BRAKE TECH RAN A DIAGNOSTIC, SAID NOT BRAKES IT'S AN ENGINE ISSUE. ENGINE TECH SAYS IT 'MAYBE' TIMING OR CAM SHAFT. $2500 ON A MAYBE, BEST THEY CAN TELL FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC. FROM ALL THE REVIEWS I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND THE GUESSING GAME AT OWNERS EXPENSE. NONE OF THESE HAVE FIXED THE ISSUES. WHILE READING THE REVIEWS, I READ 3 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. IN ADDITION GM HAS REMOVE ANY AND ALL WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE ABOVE THE 36,000 MILES. GM WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHEVY MALIBU DEATH TRAP WHICH THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF. NO RECALL, NO REPAIR SUPPORT FOR THE DEALERSHIP THAT NOW IS INVOLVED WITH THIS WORTHLESS PRODUCT. MY QUESTION FOR GM IS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? I SAY TO THE CEO OF GM. I WANT ONE OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS TO HAVE MY CAR AS THERE DAILY DRIVE. BUT WAIT THE ENGINE WILL NOT EVEN TURN OVER. NOTHING BUT A PAPERWEIGHT NOW. TO ALL HEAD HONCHOS AT GM I HAVE LARGE CAR PARTS THE NEED TO BE PLACED WERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PRODUCT!!!

I BOUGHT MY 2016 MALIBU MARCH 8, 2019 AT 40,177 MILES AND THE RADIO DOES NOT COME ON. AS WELL AS ANY SAFETY CHIMES AND THE ONSTAR FEATURE DOES NOT COME ON. A WEEK AFTER GETTING MY CAR I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD WHEN MY CAR REDUCED SPEED DRASTICALLY AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING ENGINE SPEED REDUCED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER I CUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT SEEMS FINE AND EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. I THINK SOMETHING COULD BE WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT PICK UP SPEED IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR VERY WELL. I KNOW THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THESE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUES BUT MY CAR DOESN'T SHOW ANY RECALLS.

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL OR SENSOR APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE ON THESE VEHICLES. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MINE TWICE WITHIN THE PAST 16 MONTHS. ALSO, AFTER RESEARCHING SEVERAL AUTO FORUMS, THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE. THIS DEFECT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO REDUCE POWER, WHICH THEN DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE OVER 25MPH. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHEN IT OCCURS, LIKE I WAS THE FIRST TIME THE PEDAL WENT OUT. THE 1ST EPISODE OCCURRED 1/18, WITH THE MOST RECENT EVENT OCCURRING TODAY.

2016 CHEVY MALIBU CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING ON. IT STATES REDUCE ENGINE SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I CAN ONLY GO 30-40MPG. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A COUPLE TIMES NOW. THE LATEST WAS TODAY. THEY HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

WHEN STARTING TO PROGRESS FROM A STOP, THE MALIBU WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, AND THEN WHEN IT DOES GO IT, SURGES FORWARD. IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT INCREASES OVER TIME. THIS ALL OCCURS WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WERE THEY HAVE KEPT IT FOR A COMBINED TOTAL OF WELL OVER A MONTH, BUT CLAIM THAT WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN PREDOMINATELY DURING THE SPRING/SUMMER MONTHS, AND IS LESS FREQUENT DURING THE MUCH COLDER FALL/WINTER MONTHS. WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER. MY WIFE IS REFUSING TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT HER OR OUR CHILDREN WILL BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE CAR WILL NOT PROCEED ONCE IN A BUSY INTERSECTION.

THE RADIO HAS NO SOUND AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM SINCE THE 2010 MODEL. GM OR CHEVY IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP CUSTOMERS FIX THE ISSUE OR TRAIN THEIR SERVICE TEAMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MY 2016 FOR ALMOST 9 MONTHS WITH 3 OF THOSE MONTHS IN RADIO SILENCE, NO ANSWER, AND NO COMPENSATION

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE WHILE OPERATING IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE AT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER HOWEVER THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE IT MAY BE COMING FROM MY BACK AXLES AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AFFECTED BY A MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM SPEED. I HAVE ENSURED ALL BRACKETS ARE SECURED INSIDE OF MY TRUNK AS I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING LOOSE HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

I OWN A 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU WITH 34K MILES. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK I RECEIVE A MESAGE TO SHIFT TO PARK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE SHIFTER NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY AND I ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR. THIS HAS BECAME A HAZARD BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WON'T FULLY TURN OFF. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION CONTROL. THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THIS DEFECTIVE AND I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. PLEASE HAVE GM ISSUE A RECALL.

SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE. VEHICLE IS CLEARLY IN PARK BUT MESSAGE ON MESSAGE BOARD INFORMS ME "VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK." HAVE TO WIGGLE/MESS WITH SHIFTER IN ORDER TO GET THE MESSAGE TO DISAPPEAR. OTHERWISE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED... COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY CHEVY.

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.

MY MALIBU DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN IT OFF WHEN I PUT IT INTO PARK. I GET THE MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK".

SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN BACK ON. MESAAGE ON THE SCREEN SAYS ' POWER STEERLING REDUCED, PLEASE DRIVE WITH CARE' ALSO IT SAYS SOMETIMES ' STABILITITANK ' . I NEED HELP ON THIS SITUATION BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.

CAR HESITATES WHEN PUSHING ACCELERATOR AND BEGINS TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN ACCELERATES RAPIDLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND BECAUSE IT IS ONLY RANDOM WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT. THIS OCCURS WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, OR PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT INTO TRAFFIC. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A SMART TRANSMISSION BECAUSE ME AND MY WIFE HAVE DIFFERENT DRIVING HAPPENS. (WHICH DOESN'T SOUND REASONABLE) LAST TIME IT DID THIS WAS YESTERDAY AND IT SEEMS TO HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY.

MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED ON OR ABOUT 07/02/18 AT GUARANTEE CHEVROLET IN THE CITY OF SANTANA, CA MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME ON OR ABOUT 07/03/18. THIS CONDITION HAS DAMAGED MY ENGINE/MOTOR WHICH IS IN FACT A RESULT FROM THE SPI CONDITION, THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGES FROM THIS NARRATIVE. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE GWM SYSTEM TO BE LIABLE FOR ALL REPAIRS PERTAINING TO 17019-SPI RECALL.

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2016 MALIBU PREMIER 2.0 TURBO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PARK ASSIST SENSORS GOING OUT. NOW, THEY ARE OUT AGAIN, AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY A $250 DEDUCTIBLE FOR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPAIRS. I AM NOT AGREEING WITH THIS BECAUSE THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OF THIS SAME COMPONENT. NOW THE SERVICE ADVISOR HAS CONTACTED ME SAYING THE ENTIRE MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM ITSELF. I PURCHASED THE CAR SEPT. 21, 2016, IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN SO SOON, NOW I HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE SAME WORK TO THE DONE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED PROPERLY THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THIS REPAIR, INSTEAD OF A SIMPLE SYSTEM UPDATE. THESE PARK ASSIST SENSOR ALERTS WHEN SOMEONE IS WALKING IN FRONT OR BEHIND THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS ANOTHER VEHICLE BEING IN A 'BLIND SPOT". THE ALERT IS ESPECIALLY HELPFUL AT NIGHT , WHEN IN AN AREA WITH PEDESTRIANS AND SMALL CHILDREN, AND BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOTS.

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LEAK WITHOUT DAMAGE. WE NOTICED A FOUL SMELL IN OUR VEHICLE. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE IT RAINS QUITE OFTEN. WE ASSUMED IT WAS OUR 9-YEAR-OLD LEAVING SOME FRENCH FRIES BEHIND WHEN SHE LEFT THE DAY PRIOR. WE THEN GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND NOTICED THE FLOOR HAD STANDING WATER AND THE BACK SEATS WERE WET. I LOOKED INTO THE TRUNK WHERE THE SPARE TIRE IS SUPPOSED TO BE AND SAW A PUDDLE OF WATER. NOW EVERY TIME IT RAINS, IT LEAKS AND THERE IS MOLD ON BACKSEAT AND TRUNK. I CALLED COX CHEVROLET 2 TIMES AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR THEM TO CALL ME BACK, AND THEY HAVEN'T. AFTER PAYING A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO OWN THIS, WE ARE NOW IN A SMELLY, MOLDY VEHICLE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

ENGINE AUTO START/STOP EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE (WHEN AT STANDSTILL IN DRIVE SHIFT POSITION) ENGINEERING MODIFICATION NEEDED ENGINE AUTO START/STOP NEEDS TO HAVE A DRIVER DETECTOR (IN SEAT) ADDED TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM INADVERTANTLY DRIVING FOWARD WITHOUT DRIVER IN THE DRIVER SEAT. IT IS ESPECIALLY CRUCIAL FOR THOSE NEW DRIVERS NOT USED TO THE FUEL SAVING START/STOP ENGINE. IT HAPPENED TO ME RECENTLY AND I WAS UNAWARE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK AS ENGINE WAS IN "AUTO STOP POSITION" AND SILENT. AS I GOT OUT AND SHUT DOOR, CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE WITH NOBODY IN THE CAR. LUCKILY I WAS FAST ENOUGH TO CHASE AFTER IT, OPEN DOOR, AND SLAM ON THE BRAKES WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS HAS ALMOST HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I WOULD RECCOMEND PUTTING SOME KIND OF CHIP IN THE DRIVER SEAT WHICH WOULD DEACTIVATE THE ENGINE IF DRIVER SEAT IS EMPTY WHILE CAR IS IN DRIVE SHIFT POSITION. IF NOT CORRECTED THE CAR COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS AND BYSTANDERS. THIS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED ACCROSS ENTIRE GM LINE AS WELL AS OTHER MANUFACTURERS.
