The contact owns a 2016 chevrolet malibu hybrid. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted independently after five seconds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician stated that the ecm may have possibly failed. The transmission was replaced. After the vehicle was serviced, a loud abnormal noise emitted from the transmission. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the computer systems were flashed, but the failure recurred. In addition, the sensors became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, but the failure was unable to be determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was was 9,000. The vin was unavailable.
Coming off the hwy my vehicle slowed down from 55 mph to about 40 mph fairly fast thankfully no one was behind me. Check engine light came on, tried pressing on the pedals but vehicle was not speeding up at all. The traction light also came up. Took it to chevy dealer right away and they said it was the accelerator sensor not communicating with the system. Took about a week to get my car back from the dealership.
Vehicle in motion in left hand lane, on 5 lane main road during rush hour, traffic going approx. 35 mph. As i was driving the vehicle stalled, engine light came on and a warning message said the vehicle was "slowing down" (it stalled completely). I was unable to drift into the right lane and forced to abandon my car into the center lane - used for merging from other lanes of traffic. Police responded but no report was filed. Officer suggested i leave the vehicle for my own safety & when tow truck arrived to request the auto be towed to a safe spot for removal of personal items. This situation was not only dangerous to myself but others. A crash could have been the result. According to dealer, no recall on this issue. Did have a transmission problem. Less than 10,000 miles on car approx 18 mos old. Dealer hopes gm fix will work, but i am now nervous about driving the vehicle.
5/4/2018 took the car to service a check engine light.they reprogramed the hybrid powertrain control module 2 - per a factory service bulletin but it did not fix the problem, light came back on.5/26/2018 - 100 degrees.car shut down while driving straight at 40 mph on city street.restarted in some kind of default mode without ev components after 30 min.next day it worked fine.8/12/2018 - 86 degrees.car shut down while driving straight on city street going 30mph.restarted and drove fine but later the same day after starting the car and shifting to reverse the car moved forward, car was in ev mode.shifted toneutral and car still moved forward, still in ev mode.shifted to reverse and neutral again the car still moved forward, still in ev mode.turned off engine, restarted and worked fine, still in ev mode.8/16/2018 - 85 degrees.car shut down while driving, restarted and worked. But later that day i started the car and shifted into reverse and the car moved forward, car in ev mode.i shifted to neutral but at the same moment the engine started and i felt and heard a shifting noise and the car worked fine.2nd appointment will dealer on 8/20/16, appears a common factor is warm days when i park the car outside in the sun.no matter what the problem may be there is a serious and potentially deadly symptom of a problem with my car and could become a common problem. The next step the dealer will do is replace a wiring harness, again per a service bulletin so the manufacturer does know of a problem.

Water found in rear compartment and/or rear passenger floorarea, leaking from third brake light area and.or rear window. The cause of the condition may be that over time, the center high mount stop lamp(chmsl) fasteners may lose torque and allow water to leak into the rear compartment orfloor area. The fasteners may lose torque due to thermal expansion and contraction of thechmsl material
