Drove my malibu to see a show and parked in the garage. After the show, when turned on the ignition had a service airbag light. Took it to the gm dealer who diagnosed the problem and said had to replace the air bag sdm electrical module with a total price estimate of almost $1,000 cad !!! i have had this vehicle since december 2014 and have driven it to florida every winter since. It only has 82,500 km on it. I believe this is a premature failure and is a safety issue. Should be the same as the new car emissions warranty where emission components are covered much longer than new car warranty.
Service air bag indicator light appeared on instrument panel while driving.

My airbag service light was on- i had a diagnostic ran on my vehicle. I was told by the glendora chevrolet dealership that my vehicle was too dangerous to drive and i needed to have my airbag replaced for $1,000.i have never been in an accident and my airbags have never been deployed. This seems like an odd service needed on a newer vehicle. This should be categorized as a safety recall issue versus a maintenance needed.
Airbag light is keep coming on. I have power seats and payed to get the panel fixed and the panel is hanging again.
My airbag light came on and i can't it to jim taylor chevrolet they say is not a recall on that ls chevrolet malibu
I bought my car used, it hasn't even been a year yet that i have had it. My air bag sensor went off so i had it checked. They then gave me a quote of how much it is to fix they informed me that it is the main brain of the airbags and technically it controls both drivers & passenger airbags. So right now because the brain failed i do not have air bags at all. If i were to get in an accident i would not be protected. I have talked to a friend at the attorney general's office and they think that the air bag might have been defected and to check into it. I have a cheverolet case number and have been dealing with this for a couple of weeks now. Please check into this further on this end. Thank you
The airbag light camera came on i have on the screen a message.... Service airbag. This just happend yesterday, i went to walmart and when i came back to go home i had this issue.
Service air bag and light came on took it to a gm dealer they told me that with the miles it had 44,000 it was not covered under waranity and i would have to pay to have it checked and repaired and i told them this is not rite and i should not have to pay for something like this i did find out that they have been a lot of the sensors under the hood being replaced because water was getting in them if so i belive this should be a recall from gm and it should be takeing care of this is a safety issue and should be looked into they want to charge for something they know that is defective is so wrong
On september 21, 2015 i was driving was driving north (23 mph)and was t-boned by another vehicle who took a 2 way stop sign. I did not have a stop sign. I was pushed across two lanes and into a grassy field. I was slammed into in between the passenger drivers seat and the back passenger seat. I was wearing my seat belt as was my daughter whom was sittingmy airbags did not deploy. The car that that hit me all their airbags deployed. I was the driver and my daughter was a passenger in the back . I broke my neck and had displaced fluid in my knee.she had minor bruising in her car seat.i tried filing against gm and nothing was done. They came back claiming that the system had not failed. I had no further way of proving other wise. I feel that my car falls into a recall but that it has not yet been discovered or established. How is it possible that not one airbag deployed? not the front drivers or the curtains?
Main control module for entire airbag system is faulty and being replaced. Vehicle only has a little over 38,000 miles on it.
Service airbag light came on with no warning. I just started my car and the display said to service airbag. Car has never been in a wreck. After some research, i found multiple people having this issue. They all turned their vehicles in to a gm dealership and almost all had a faulty air bag control module.i hope that safety investigates deeply on this so no one will have a deadly wreck.the website is posted below.

I went to work friday september 27, 2019. Where my car sat for two hours. When i came back out i had a service air bag light on. My car is a 2105, i'm the second owner. It's never been in an accident. I took it to the dealer i had bought it from a year ago. They told me it was a faulty air bag module that needed to be replaced. Luckily it didn't take an accident for faulting in severe injury, before i had known what was going on. I called gm hoping to get some answers. Only to be told there was nothing they could do to help me. From reading online i've seen a lot of people have this issue. I just pray something can be fixed before someone gets seriously injured. This is a serious safety issue. We don't pay thousands of dollars for a car, to have things go seriously wrong with them. I understand things get wore out and need replaced, but coming from a company who states safety is a priority, i don't feel an air bag module should be going out after only 4 years.
While driving my car on city street my airbag light came on and a tool part was on display
Takata recalla light came on that read 'have your airbag checked.' i took it to the dealer, russell barnett, winchester,tn. They came out with a price for replacement of $750.00. I asked if this was covered by chevrolet. They answered no. I then reminded them that i of $10have extended warranty. They then said let me check it out. In a few minutes, they came back with a second figure of $150.00 which included the $50.00 deductible. My question is do i pay?

This 2015 chevy malibu has been serviced over 10 ten times for a stalling/check engine issue(s). Sometimes the check engine light will activate after stalling and other times it will not. This vehicle has only had 1 owner since the initial purchase with on-star showing all the times/dates that a problem was detected and reported via email (on star). The dealership has had ample attempts to fix the issues with the vehicle, as well asprivate ase certified mechanic/shop after the issues continued with this problem vehicle. This vehicle is a lemon, it is not dependable, and the stalling issues seem to be an on-going issue with gm chevy malibu. On 05/15/2021 while in natick massachusetts, i was almost rear-ended after my vehicle stalled in traffic and i could not get to the bdl. As quickly as the vehicle stopped working, i was able to restart the vehicle and move it out of the road. This problem can not be ignored or downplayed, someone will eventual get hurt or killed because their vehicle stalls without reason or warning. I need a dependable vehicle and do not have the luxury to run to the dealership multiple times for an on-going problem.
The check engine light came on. The code is p305f which means the battery control module is affected. This powers the accessories. When the auto stop feature triggers, the vehicle's accessories will turn off and headlights will turn off. Dangerous at night. There are no current solutions for this code and makes the car a failure for emissions.

The vehicle was in motion on a city street and the whole radio console cut off for about 5 seconds and came back on. The engine light then popped on.it did this twice in a matter of 10 mins. This issued has happened twice sporadically 3 times but never consecutive on the same day. Both batteries were tested and they are good. Got the code p305f. Performed a check on all wires and harnesses and they were secure. The main battery was replaced with a new ac delco on february 22, 2020. My car also cut off on september 30 while it was in motion and i was switiching gears to reverse.
A car can not have two batteries connected to the engine at the same time and be street legal. Thais car has that and they are mismatched batteries as well. My car was stolen by tom lehousky. He sold it at tropical chevrolet for $15,000 and kept the money.
Takata recall-when i first purchased the car i notied the vehicle was having alot of trouble getting speed, and it was take a lot of time to shift. I immedietly returned to the dealership with the information, the dealership check the problems and said nothing was wrong will through the years i have gone back to them millions of times with the same problem and not once has it been properly addressed, the previous service advisor i went to for the dealership stated i needed a new transmisson/engine because the one the car has now was not good. The dealership continuted to hold off on putting a new one in until my warranty went out but the car has not been fixed. The car currently goes up to 7-8 rmp and stays there for a good 3 mins before shifting and at times does not what to accelerate which has put me in some dangerous situations.
Vehicle was in motion approximately 25 mph on a city street when smoke started and fire broke out burning vehicle to ground.
My vehicle was stationary. I went to defrost my windshield and the electrical switch to turn on the heat would not turn on. This has also occurred when it is really hot outside and the a/c will not turn on. I have had these issues occur multiple of times in hot and now cold weather.
My auto stop came on while at a stop sign and when i released the brake my car shut off and won't start i tried jumping car it still won't work. The tow company that towed my car has told me about a recall on auto stop
With 2015 malibu stationary, overnight experienced loss of battery charge and wold not start. Upon recharge, it will now start.however, the hvac control is now inoperative.the hvac system still runs with the last settings it had.this is very similar to recall 13v567000 (chevrolet 13380) that applied to 2014 model chevrolets.it is a safety issue because one can no longer set the windshield to defrost for winter driving.furthermore, this belongs to a chain of electrical issues the car has had - loss of battery charge on 4 occasions, engine stoppage after hard braking on two occasions with warning message to check abs system, intermittent loss of center console display panel.obviously, if the engine stops in the middle of traffic after hard braking, this is also a safety issue.dealer has replaced both rear battery and forward battery, however, the problem diagnosis has clearly not been done.
Vehicle fire near the battery/box.no body damage, damage limited to the fusebox and harness near the battery.wires and part of the battery/box burned.
This was 3rd time i took the car into the dealer because the service engine soon light appears randomly and the ignition fails to turn on.i have to turn the key a few times to get it started.my car was seen thurs, was told no issue was found and manager would drive car home in evening to test.called today, fridayin afternoon since i didnt get a call, was told it was the battery.had to pay $260 for battery.the past two other visits, i was told battery was good and now its bad...was just leaving the dealer, i stopped atfirst light and notice the check engine light is on!returned back to dealer and was told that it was something else.

While driving thru houston, texas on interstate 10 with heavy traffic the engine shut off, the analog instruments shut off, the center my link screen shut off and the digital readout alternated between mph and miles traveled readout. My wife was driving and attempted to restart the engine, no result. She shifted to neutral and it would not restart. We were able to coast thru several lanes of traffic and safely stop on the side of the road. The car was shifted to park and started. We traveled approximately 200 miles to our destination and two days later exchanged the car for another rental.
Driving a long than steering goes out wheel will not turn dealer said nee new electric motor under dash 1.000 to fix
A/c control does not turn on. It happens randomly and has occurred multiple times. In the past i had two incidents where i was not able to defrost my windshield.
Car was parked in a parking lot for over an hour when an electrical fire started by the battery and fuse panel. There have been no modifications made to the car at all. Standard maintenance only has been done including new tires about a year ago. There is no reason a parked cool car should catch on fire. There were no oil leaks at all on the car.
Check engine light randomly comes on and off. Unable to get a diagnostic check thoroughly because the engine light doesn't stay on. Was at an auto zone one day when it came on again and was given two of the same codes stating there may be an o2 sensor issue. A couple weeks later while driving i get a message on the car stating 'service power steering' then it goes off again. Check engine light went off.right driver back seat belt doesn't click in all the way but sometimes it does.

I own a 2015 chevrolet malibu ltz and i can be driving down the highway and the 'service stabilitrack' light will come on, then it will say 'reduced engine power'.i will have to pull over, turn car off, and let it sit for a minute or two, then crank back up and those lights will go off, but the service engine light will come on. Sometimes i have to do this every 5-10 miles, depending on the distance of my destination, which poses a safety issue for me, especially if i'm traveling at night. This mostly happens when i'm driving on the highway.

Water entered the car from behind the dashboard and flooded the carpet and all that is under it. I personally sucked gallons and gallons of water out of it for 4 days before i gave up and took it in. The service dept pulled the problem up on the computer immediately. That tells me that someone at gm knew about it and this wasn't the first time. B/c it came in behind the dash, the electronics and electrical will be affected b/c all that moisture will never get out. Rusting has already started. The car has been at the dealer for a week. I am going to demand a replacement vehicle because mold/mildew will be growing, and moisture will affect the safety of the car. I will never get a good price on a trade-in b/c of the water. The car is ruined.
Sunroof and gas fuel sensor affected
While driving the vehicle i stopped at a stop light and the car turned off due to the auto start/stop when idling. When i let off the brake, the car did not turn back on. After attempting to start the car again numerous times it would not. All electrical stayed on at this point. Car was towed to a chevy dealer in fenton, mi and they replaced battery and battery current sensor. Later i turned the car off and the radio and screen stayed on even after closing and opening the door. Then my car was idling at a stop light today and it auto turned off as when i let off brake it did not turn back on. All electrical stayed on. This time i was able to start the car back up but there's no telling when this will happen again. Very dissatisfied with this vehicle.

Auto stop which comes standard in 2015 malibu's with 2.5l engines will not engage. It used to work flawlessly, but it will not engage. Multiple forms that i have read have people stating they have the same issue.
My ignition keys (both) sometimes stick in the 'start' position when starting. Some days they stick several times and some days they don't. It depends on heat and humidity.gentle pressure easily returns the key to the 'run' position. We always notice this when it happens and we turn the key to the 'run' position. But if it is unnoticed it could release when hitting a bump in the road and go past 'run' and into the 'accessory' position, shutting off the engine.this has been happening since the car was new in april, 2015.the dealer cleaned the key and lubed the ignition switch but the problem continues.the dealer will not replace the ignition switch because the key did not stick while they had the car.this problem occurs often (about 10% of the time) when the weather is hot and/or humid. It occurs rarely when the weather id cool/dry.
I was at a red light on a major highway no warning what so ever. Light turned green took foot off brake check engine light came on then car completely shut off. Had power but i guess not enough to turn on the hazard lights. Almost got hit in the rear because they thought i was getting ready to move because there where no lights on in the rear. Had to push it off to the side of the road that was hard due to there was no power steering at all. Got my son to come get me but first we wanted to see if the car would start with a jump start and it did but called for a tow truck because i was scared it was going to shut off again. There was no warning or even warning signs prior to the incident.beside the check engine light coming on right before the car shut off that was not a very good warning. So i bought a battery for the car and everything has been fine. I really think that put me in a dangerous situation not being able to put my hazard lights on being on a major highway and trying to push it to the side with no power steering.
Initially, circa two years ago, had an electrical failure on hard braking - the radio display screen and other electrical shut down, car stalled.after restart, car would only move forward slowly.eventually this cleared. The car has had a total of ~5 incidents of complete battery drain and consequent failure to start after sitting, even though the alternator previously was spinning, and "battery voltage" reports as somewhere in the 13-14 v range.on three separate repairs, dealer has replaced the aft battery, then the forward battery, then updated flash memory (of battery control? antilock brake control, not sure), per a recall notice affecting other nearby model years.after this, the car went several months without incident, but drained battery and failed to start again this week.it appears that the complex auto stop/start electrical system is flawed in such a way that the local dealer cannot diagnose why the battery keeps draining.because the forward battery capacity is very large, and usage of the car is low, it takes several months to drain the battery.when the battery is drained, the car no longer functions - power steering, electronics, etc, hence it is a safety issue if it happens while driving.
The contact owns a 2015 chevrolet malibu. While the vehicle was parked and turned off with the key still in the ignition, the engine inadvertently started. All the warning indicators illuminated and the radio activated. The failure occurred several times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that it might have been a power train failure. The contact was informed to call the dealer. The contact called herrin-gear chevrolet (1685 high st, jackson, ms 39202, 601-376-9944) and was informed to bring the vehicle in for a check up. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.
The car stalls out while in traffic and/or immediately reduce speed flashing-engine reduce code on the dash, mines in particular has flashed service traction and reduce engine power on the dash, diagnostic testing is not giving any codes for a specific reason for this issue, seem to be something up with the sensors and electrical system on this car- causing multiple issues to happen all at one time. Chevy dealer not very help- suggesting to fix random parts and the issue continues. Decided not to drive on the highway, but did drive on a busy street in baltimore county.
Runs ruff and dies at stops (red lights) it's happened 6 times.
I was pulling out of parking lot when my car gears started to jerk then a "service power steering" icon flashed on the dashboard. My engine light read a p305f code which only told me it was a problem with the dual battery control module (dbcm) i then took the vehicle back to my local dealership and there diagnostics just said to replace the main battery. However i replaced both batteries and car still had the same problem. I did my personal research and i ended up replacing the battery module yet car still had same issue. I've already been to the dealership twice and can't afford to keep spending money on diagnostic test. I also noticed that this was a common issue for this vehicle and that multiple people had filed complaints about this particular problem. This problem happens to me at random times while driving or while pulling out of parking lot and is a major hazard if driving on busy street or highway. When it does the auto stop at a red light the car jerks and sometimes gears will lock up and transmission will experience problems as well. Other times the car just jerks and a service power steering icon will display on the dashboard
This has occurred on more than one occasion but most recently it scared me most because i was in the middle of a busy highway ! as the car came to a stop it when into power save mode (automatic shutoff) however once took my foot off the brakes it didn't not start the car went completely dead at the middle off a busy highway . I tried repeatedly to crank but it would not start after 3-5 mins it's finally cranked up . Now i've noticed that if in coming to a stop i have to keep the car from going into auto shutoff mode by letting off the brake a little before it actually comes to a complete stop .also i was at the drive thru window of a restaurant when it shut off on me the last time it finally gave a "service stabilizer" message luckily i had a portable booster in the trunk and just connected it to the battery and the car cranked right up . So for my safety and my children's safety i keep the portable booster in the trunk because idk when it'll just cut off . Also i have use my warranty to have the car serviced however after getting beaten out of so much money for diagnostics and being told they can't find anything wrong with the vehicle idk what else to do .it does not happen everyday but it's beginning to happen more frequently now. Also when i put the car in reverse it takes a few seconds for the backup camera to come on .i noticed before i had the major problem with it shutting down completely a couples times when i would put the car in reverse the radio /screen would go completely black and once i put it back into dive then it would come back on
The contact owns a 2015 chevrolet malibu. While driving 45 mph and making a stop, the radio shut off completely. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure was not found. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 14,000.
I purchased my vehicle on march 2015 off the showroom floor of a chevrolet dealership.on june 18, 2016 my car caught a fire while it was parked and i was not in the vehicle. I had been sitting in the car with the air blowing from the defroster for about 30 minutes. I drove to the store and came back home. I got out of the car and stood on the porch talking to my family.within in 10 minutes of me exiting my car, it was on fire. I ran to the car and could see that the fire was coming from right about where the windshield ends and where the hood of the car begins, right where the windshield wipers are.i called the fire department who put the fire out. They used the jaws of life to ply the hood open and cut the main wire to the car.i then contacted the gm manufacturing company chevrolet and started a claim with them to do an investigation on my vehicle as to what happened and why to this brand new car. Especially considering the fact their was no one in the car at the time it caught fire, thank god and as to no one could of started the fire because i was standing outside the entire time. The alleged investigation took about a month and a half to complete.i received a call a week prior to gm chevrolet manufacturing making a decision from one of their representatives asking me have i ever gotten the windshield wiper motor replaced before. I stated to her no i haven't and reminded her that the car was purchased new off their showroom floor and that i hadn't had anything replaced or altered on that car. On july 29th i was called by a gm chevrolet representative again telling me my claim was being denied because of a windshield wiper issue. I stated to her that i wouldn't have anything to do with that. She then changes the reason and states that gm chevrolet really cant determine what happened and they were denying my claim.their had been several recalls on gm cars
My car has begun dying in motion on city streets for no particular reason on top of the fuel economy not working correctly and causing the vehicle to run out of gas within a few days of filling it up. It will say 195 miles then jump to 207 on the fuel range.
Tamara recallthis vehicle has the auto stop start system where the engine is supposed to engage at a light, and it does not work. No one can understand why it won't engage and the dealer will not help me. The vehicle works and drives fine but this system is flawed and all over the chevy forums people are experiencing this same problem.
The contact owns a 2015 chevrolet malibu. The contact arrived home and turned off the vehicle. When he attempted to restart it, the anti-theft control system warning indicator illuminated. The failure occurred on numerous occasions only when the vehicle is in park. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000.
I have a 2015 chevy malibu while driving on the turnpike ac came on without being turned on lights dimmed when car started flashing me i hit my bright lights and my abs slammed my car to an immediate stop also causing the windshield wipers to come on and the power steering to go out car shut off took a while to come back on car was not dead but only things that were off were working things that were on or not car keeps dying when you crank it up and things that are turned off come on once the car cranks up driving down the highway power steering went out and car turned off in the middle of driving and did the same thing on the turnpike in the middle of driving.
The abs sensor is malfunctioning. This causes the vehicle to stall out and not go over 11 miles per hour. The dealer will not repair under $1000 and similar issue was recalled on the 2014 model.
Bought 2013 malibu march 2013 never had any problems with it until at about 34,000 miles. On my way to work stability control system light and (abs) break light came on. After my shift at work, i started the light was not on. I thought just an error, may have reset it's self. At about 46,000 miles stability control system, (abs) break lights areback on and will not go off.i am currently making an appointment with dealer to have it checked out.
Takata recall the transmission in the 2015 chevy malibu jerks at low speeds and at high speeds it holds the gear when slowing down
Passenger seat belt won't unbuckle, dash says service stabilitrak, engine power reduced, and speed limited to 25 mph
My car was driving fine then all of a sudden the service stabili track light flashed on my screen and my check engine light started flashing but went off after about 1 minute . The next day while accelerating the car stuttered and felt almost like i was driving down a road with little rivets . Its stopped and again all the lights dissapeared.this morning as soon as i started my car the check engine light is on and every time i accelerate it stutters and feels as if i'm driving down a riveted road .
I have been having numerous problems with a pause in the engine when i'm speeding up onto a highway or to pass on the highway .it's most dangerous when i enter the highway. The car instead of just speeding up has been known to pause.. And then speed up. This is very dangerous because it's hard to determine when the car is going to "pause" . I was almost in an accident because i had enough time to enter the highway and the car decided to "pause " and then go but that slight pause effects the timing of entering traffic . Also, i am near a highway with a lot of construction. The roads become uneven in parts without warning. I have to keep both my hands tightly secured to the wheel or the car tries pulling you. For instance : i was driving straight and there was a slight change in uneven pavement and my car seemed like it was trying to even out the weight of the car and it tried pulling me left and when i went to straighten out my car become uncontrollable and thank god there wasn't somebody in the right lane because it pulled me all over the highway and i couldn't control it . To be honest i have had about 6 cars and never have i felt so unsafe. Also my car is an eco car- it turns off at lights.. Sometimes it shakes when it turns bck on and also it lags to move once it does come back on. My dealership said they found a defect in it and gm will "find a solution in 45 days" .. I haven't seen any other reviews about this?

No problems prior to a simple spark plug change(ac delco iridium/oem). Few days later, car started hesitating, and losing acceleration, check engine light & service stability display on screen. Checked with obdii. Gave code of missing spark in #3. So i changed spark plug, thinking faulty plug. After driving a bit, code and same problem again. Took to dealer $170 later, bad coil...! 86k miles and bad coil, after changing plugs...hum! ok so if bad coil why is it giving me a service stabilitrack display? and not coming up on obdii diagnosis? i'm a certified transit desiel mechanic of 15yrs, and this puzzles me. I've ordered coil, changing tmrw. Lets see what outcome will be after chaning coil!

Model: 2015 chevy malibu/ 80000 mileswhile driving the car (in highway) it stopped all of a sudden. If i stop at a red light the engine completely shuts down and then i have to put it on parking/neutral and restart the car again. My concern is if it suddenly stops while i am driving it, i may get hit from behind and get seriously injured (almost got hit the other day). While i was having the issues,"service stabilitrak" sign appears on the dash.
I own a 2015 chevrolet malibu ltz and i can be driving down the highway and the 'service stabilitrack' light will come on, then it will say 'reduced engine power'.i will have to pull over, turn car off, and let it sit for a minute or two, then crank back up and those lights will go off, but the service engine light will come on. Sometimes i have to do this every 5-10 miles, depending on the distance of my destination, which poses a safety issue for me, especially if i'm traveling at night. This mostly happens when i'm driving on the highway.
My engine light came on about two weeks ago. I took it today may 7, 2020 to the pine belt chevrolet in lakewood, nj. I explain to them that my car would shake and stall while driving. I explain to them that i did not feel safe driving especially with my four-year-old son in the backseat. I wanted to get it checked out and that was the reason why i brought it there. They informed me that this was caused due to a rocker control arm valve.they informed me that they would have to order the part, which they did, but that it would take a very long time to get it in. They did not offer me a loaner car as they did not keep my car to work on. They sent me back on the road with a shaking car that stalls while driving. I did my research and have seen that there was a petition of over 1500 signatures with owners of 2014 chevy impala's and 2015 chevy malibu's who all complains of the same thing and included that they have been waiting 4 or more months for this part. I am complaining for the fact that this is unsafe, there has been no recall for this though there have been numerous complaints and we are all paying for vehicles that are not safe to drive. I have attached the link to the petition that shows that numerous people have been complaining about this faulty part. Also, i am attaching my invoice. This needs to be recalled.
"takata recall" during a side impact collison at 45mph , the side air bag did not deploy (no air bags deployed) and the stabilitrak was disabled .an error message of service stabilitrak appeared during the accident
Sensor for anti stability and antilock braking system failing multiple times , this has been recalled on the 2014 but not 2015. Had part replaced which was replaced with same issue. When this happens abs disengages and the anti stability also disengages.
I was stopped at a light at a very busy intersection (auto off engaged).when i started to move, the car would barely go (auto off was disengaged).it was jerking as i was giving it gas.the service stabilitrak message came on and my check engine light came on.i managed to pull into a parking lot , put it in park and then i tried to rev the engine and it just didn't want to.i shut it off and then turned it back on and the message disappeared.i drove back to work and it seemed fine, but for months now, it seems when i go to take off, it hesitates a bit before going.
On may 28, my husband and i noticed these fumes in the car, but we didn't know where they were coming from. When we opened the car trunk, we found that the tire sealant in the compressor kit was leaking on it's own. He brought the car to the dealership's auto shop and the compressor kit was replaced. On july 19, the check engine light came on. I brought the car to the dealership's repair shop, again.i was told that the computer module that controls the engine wasn't working right and it had to be reprogrammed by updating it. They were very vague in explaining the problem. My husband called the repair shop on july 28 and asked them to explain what was wrong with the car. They still didn't explain the problem very well and they said that they already told his wife. The statement that the the repair shop gave us says "customer states that check engine light is on, verified concern scan code p2096, as per tsb pi409 perform ecm re program clear codes / rechecked system all at specs." the mileage at that time was 2470.

My auto stop came on while at a stop sign and when i released the brake my car shut off and won't start i tried jumping car it still won't work. The tow company that towed my car has told me about a recall on auto stop
The rocker arm control valve has to be changed on my car. General motors and cheverolet continues to say they don't know when they are going to get the part. My check light has been on and i need this matter corrected. I just want to be able to buy the part and get it fixed. I have been waiting since november of 2019. The part number is 12633613.
I own a 2015 malibu lt 2.5l, i have not been able to pass the state required inspection due to a faulty oil control solenoid. (gm part #12633613 or gm part # 19419980) i have incurred over $1000 in diagnostic fees and taken the car to three (3) different independent mechanics and two (2) gm certified parts dealers trying to get this part replaced.gm is no longer manufacturing and referring customers to aftermarket parts.(aftermarket part recommended is the dorman 916-806) in doing research trying to find this part it seems this same part has malfunctioned on every 2014-2015 year model malibu and impala and gm is still not issuing a recall. I have filed customer service inquiries/complaints with multiple dealerships and gm directly. This is an egregious example of a manufacturing defect and they are offering no alternative other than buying a new car. The car is showing a code error p2646 (rocker arm malfunction in bank 1 stuck in off position).i have been attempting to rectify this problem since october 2019, and filed the official complaint with gm april,2020.case # with gm 9-592-2813084

My engine light came on 9/4/19 and it was discovered that i need the rocker arm selanoid valve replaced. The dealership informed me it's been on back order some june 2019. It is now 1/28/2020 and chevy has yet to provide any information on when part will be manufactured and available. No dealership in the country has this part. Vehicles mostly affect are 2014-2015 but my dealership has been receiving calls up to year 2017. The dealership has also mentioned that the after market version of the part is being pulled from the market. Chevy had yet to take responsibility and issue a recall or even manufacturer a necessary part for the engine!
I own a 2015 malibu that has a check engine light that is on. It needs a part (#12633613) that has not been produced by gm since at least last august when my check engine light first came on. Consequently my car will not pass inspection so i cannot get legal license plates. Gm is aware of my situation. I have been assigned a case number [xxx]. My case has been 'escalated'. I have spoken to my case manager, [xxx],for a month now and this week was told i have new case manager, [xxx], who is higher up than [xxx]. Well today [xxx] from gm called. She had no answers for me on the car. The only positive point is that she called me from detroit. So it looks like i finally got to someone at headquarters. 'she understands why i am upset', and wishes there was something more she could do for me but unfortunately all she could tell me was 'that my case has been escalated.' additionally, she could not tell me my part was being produced. She could not give me any sign that gm planned to do anything to help resolve my problem.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

This was 3rd time i took the car into the dealer because the service engine soon light appears randomly and the ignition fails to turn on.i have to turn the key a few times to get it started.my car was seen thurs, was told no issue was found and manager would drive car home in evening to test.called today, fridayin afternoon since i didnt get a call, was told it was the battery.had to pay $260 for battery.the past two other visits, i was told battery was good and now its bad...was just leaving the dealer, i stopped atfirst light and notice the check engine light is on!returned back to dealer and was told that it was something else. Nothing to do with battery yet according to them, they said it was because of the battery.my car was left for the 4th time in dealership so they can look at it.a code appeared and tech told me it had to do with the auto stop!this has been going on since end of jan!!please investigate.i have seen a lot of complaints about this issue..i am the original owner.ibought car oct 2015.i dont understand how the battery had bad cells all of a sudden.
My car was driving fine then all of a sudden the service stabili track light flashed on my screen and my check engine light started flashing but went off after about 1 minute . The next day while accelerating the car stuttered and felt almost like i was driving down a road with little rivets . Its stopped and again all the lights dissapeared.this morning as soon as i started my car the check engine light is on and every time i accelerate it stutters and feels as if i'm driving down a riveted road .
After four months of ownership my engine started knocking. I took it in, they said it was a balancer shaft assembly with timing chain and sprocket.the sound is still there but the dealership started the work is done and refuses to touch it. The noise is extremely annoying but does not affect running. I am of course worried the engine may die, but with the refusal to do anything i don't want to void the rest of the warranty.
I was stopped at a light at a very busy intersection (auto off engaged).when i started to move, the car would barely go (auto off was disengaged).it was jerking as i was giving it gas.the service stabilitrak message came on and my check engine light came on.i managed to pull into a parking lot , put it in park and then i tried to rev the engine and it just didn't want to.i shut it off and then turned it back on and the message disappeared.i drove back to work and it seemed fine, but for months now, it seems when i go to take off, it hesitates a bit before going.
On january 15th. At 08:26am while driving to work my check engine light came on.on january 19th. The car was dropped for service at westgate chevrolet in edmonton, ab. After two weeks of testing and multiple part changes the dealer established that my car has a faulty "intake oil control valve". This is a well known failure of the gm ecotec 2.5 lkw engine. Gm has been trying to redesign the part since september of 2019. As of today may 20th, 2020 the replacement part has still not been made available and my car has been sitting at the dealer for 4 months now. Multiple owners of 2014 and 15 malibu's and impala's are suffering the same faith. Lately gm corporate has not even returned e-mails from my dealer as to when the new part will me made available. This is an absolutely unacceptable behavior on part of gm.
I own a 2015 chevrolet malibu ltz and i can be driving down the highway and the 'service stabilitrack' light will come on, then it will say 'reduced engine power'.i will have to pull over, turn car off, and let it sit for a minute or two, then crank back up and those lights will go off, but the service engine light will come on. Sometimes i have to do this every 5-10 miles, depending on the distance of my destination, which poses a safety issue for me, especially if i'm traveling at night. This mostly happens when i'm driving on the highway.
Received a notification on the dash, engine light. Took it to get checked & it's the rocker arm control valve. I've been waiting on this part since last year. I'm not able to use my remote starter as a result, & i'm not able to get a plate sticker bcz the car won't pass emissions. I feel this will start to mess up the engine, & gm is saying they don't know when the part will be available. I'm reading a lot of complaints about this same issue, & feel there needs to be a recall!
When turning left from a stop my car all at once said engine power reduced to 25mph, service airbag, service stabilitrac, and service brake assist.
2015 chevy malibu with 2.5l engine with rocker arm oil control valve malfunctioning. Check engine came on thursday may 6, 2021 and had it diagnosed monday may 10, 2021.2014's have a recall, but 2015s do not and my mechanic can't even find a gm part to fix this.
Takata recall-when i first purchased the car i notied the vehicle was having alot of trouble getting speed, and it was take a lot of time to shift. I immedietly returned to the dealership with the information, the dealership check the problems and said nothing was wrong will through the years i have gone back to them millions of times with the same problem and not once has it been properly addressed, the previous service advisor i went to for the dealership stated i needed a new transmisson/engine because the one the car has now was not good. The dealership continuted to hold off on putting a new one in until my warranty went out but the car has not been fixed. The car currently goes up to 7-8 rmp and stays there for a good 3 mins before shifting and at times does not what to accelerate which has put me in some dangerous situations.
The contact owns a 2015 chevrolet malibu. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated and the vehicle started to vibrate abnormally. An independent mechanic was contacted and the contact was informed that the engine variable timing control valve needed to be replaced. The contact was advised that the vehicle should not be driven until repaired. The part was ordered but was still on back order. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The manufacturer offered $2,500 towards the purchase of a new vehicle. The contact declined the offer. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
My car has begun dying in motion on city streets for no particular reason on top of the fuel economy not working correctly and causing the vehicle to run out of gas within a few days of filling it up. It will say 195 miles then jump to 207 on the fuel range.
No problems prior to a simple spark plug change(ac delco iridium/oem). Few days later, car started hesitating, and losing acceleration, check engine light & service stability display on screen. Checked with obdii. Gave code of missing spark in #3. So i changed spark plug, thinking faulty plug. After driving a bit, code and same problem again. Took to dealer $170 later, bad coil...! 86k miles and bad coil, after changing plugs...hum! ok so if bad coil why is it giving me a service stabilitrack display? and not coming up on obdii diagnosis? i'm a certified transit desiel mechanic of 15yrs, and this puzzles me. I've ordered coil, changing tmrw. Lets see what outcome will be after chaning coil!
This 2015 chevy malibu has been serviced over 10 ten times for a stalling/check engine issue(s). Sometimes the check engine light will activate after stalling and other times it will not. This vehicle has only had 1 owner since the initial purchase with on-star showing all the times/dates that a problem was detected and reported via email (on star). The dealership has had ample attempts to fix the issues with the vehicle, as well asprivate ase certified mechanic/shop after the issues continued with this problem vehicle. This vehicle is a lemon, it is not dependable, and the stalling issues seem to be an on-going issue with gm chevy malibu. On 05/15/2021 while in natick massachusetts, i was almost rear-ended after my vehicle stalled in traffic and i could not get to the bdl. As quickly as the vehicle stopped working, i was able to restart the vehicle and move it out of the road. This problem can not be ignored or downplayed, someone will eventual get hurt or killed because their vehicle stalls without reason or warning. I need a dependable vehicle and do not have the luxury to run to the dealership multiple times for an on-going problem.
My variable valve timing solenoid went out on my car. The part number is 12633613. It has been in the shop for 10 days and chevy has failed to even give the shop an eta on this part. Not one chevy dealer in the country has the part. Absolutely horrible business practice.
While driving the vehicle i stopped at a stop light and the car turned off due to the auto start/stop when idling. When i let off the brake, the car did not turn back on. After attempting to start the car again numerous times it would not. All electrical stayed on at this point. Car was towed to a chevy dealer in fenton, mi and they replaced battery and battery current sensor. Later i turned the car off and the radio and screen stayed on even after closing and opening the door. Then my car was idling at a stop light today and it auto turned off as when i let off brake it did not turn back on. All electrical stayed on. This time i was able to start the car back up but there's no telling when this will happen again. Very dissatisfied with this vehicle.

My check engine light came on towards the beginning of dec 2019. I took it to a chevy dealership who stated it was due to the rocker arm oil control valve and that they needed to order the part. I waited until feb 2020 with no update on when the part would arrive so i took my malibu to another dealership who stated it need the same part and that it should be there within a week. As of may 2020 my car is still at that dealership without an estimated date in when the part will be available. I called gm and the only thing they can do is offer $2500 towards a new car.
Thecar reduced speed while my wife and grands where in traffic almost causing an accidentreduced to 25 mph on highway

At 8:00 p.m. I started my car to warm up. It was 27 degrees out and when i turned my heat on, no air would blow out. The car was in park. After i let it warm up for about 15 minutes, i noticed the air would still not blow out. I shut my car off and turned it back on and the air still would not blow out. The light on the knob indicating it was on, was not lit up. All other electrical functions were working fine in my vehicle.

I have felt from the beginning that this car had poor headlights. Since purchasing this car i have avoided driving it at night because the headlights are not sufficient for me to drive safely at night.i have commented as to this condition to my dealer and had the headlights adjusted and that may have improved the situation some.i have a gmc pickup that i drive at night.iihs has rated this cars lighting as poor. Is there or will there be a retrofit to make this car safe???i am considering trading for a different model, that is how serious this headlight deficiency is.

In august 2019, my 2015 chevy malibu started having with the variable valve timing (vvt) solenoid -part # 12633613 (abt. 80k miles).when accelerating into passing gear, the engine would step out of gear and the rpm's would rev very high while the car slowed.i would have to let off pedal until rpm's lowered, then accelerate slowly.my local garage diagnosed the bad part and began searching for a replacement. They discovered that (1)-gm is the only company that makes the part, (2)-that gm doesn'thave any more replacement parts and (3)-gm is not going to make any more. They discovered that many gm dealerships have hundreds on back order also.in december i filed a complaint with chevy customer service; case # 9-5698216592 and conversed with vahmarta ph.#(866)-790-5600 and field rep; logan ext:5916533.

This 2015 chevy malibu has been serviced over 10 ten times for a stalling/check engine issue(s). Sometimes the check engine light will activate after stalling and other times it will not. This vehicle has only had 1 owner since the initial purchase with on-star showing all the times/dates that a problem was detected and reported via email (on star). The dealership has had ample attempts to fix the issues with the vehicle, as well asprivate ase certified mechanic/shop after the issues continued with this problem vehicle. This vehicle is a lemon, it is not dependable, and the stalling issues seem to be an on-going issue with gm chevy malibu. On 05/15/2021 while in natick massachusetts, i was almost rear-ended after my vehicle stalled in traffic and i could not get to the bdl. As quickly as the vehicle stopped working, i was able to restart the vehicle and move it out of the road. This problem can not be ignored or downplayed, someone will eventual get hurt or killed because their vehicle stalls without reason or warning. I need a dependable vehicle and do not have the luxury to run to the dealership multiple times for an on-going problem.

While driving thru houston, texas on interstate 10 with heavy traffic the engine shut off, the analog instruments shut off, the center my link screen shut off and the digital readout alternated between mph and miles traveled readout. My wife was driving and attempted to restart the engine, no result. She shifted to neutral and it would not restart. We were able to coast thru several lanes of traffic and safely stop on the side of the road. The car was shifted to park and started. We traveled approximately 200 miles to our destination and two days later exchanged the car for another rental.
The car was stationaried, it was about 28 degrees outside. My car was on and off in between an 8 hour period. As i am a local driver for a company out of austin, tx. January 7th at about 12 midnight i started feeling nauseous, then it quickly went to cramps thinking i was hungry i tried to eat. Meanwhile i vaguely smelled something but couldn't make out the smell inside the vehicle. At about 2am i was really bad off with now a terrible headache that was beyond a normal headache. I kept working till 3 am jan 8th. As i clocked out i was feeling distant and dizzy. I returned to the car and drove home with a foggy feeling. I barely made it up our 3 flights of stairs and stopped halfway. As i felt i wasn't getting enough oxygen. I came inside our home at 3:15. And at that time explained to my husband my symptoms i started breathing in and out as much possible enough air couldn't come quick enough. My body was tired i took meds for my head and dizzudly fell asleep. My husband informed me that he checked the car and under the hood he could smell an odor and upon checking he could hear a whizzing from the battery." the battery had been releasing fumes back into the car he said". Which was causing me to inhale carbon monoxide poison. All the symptoms i was feeling checked out as i rested sunday january 8th. He checked my oxygen levels as i was ok now! stating the obvious it could have been deadly i was very shaken and barely mentally there but didn't realize it. As this was more than traumatizingfor me and our family we are now reaching out to inform and wait to see what are next steps are!
Check engine light, turned out it was solenoid vent valve, a $36 part that cost me a total of $600 usd to replace after diagnostic fees and shop fees. They had to drop the gas tank to access it. This is a premature failure for a four year old vehicle with only 48,000 km. If this is a regular maintenance item that requires frequent replacement, gm should have put it in a more accessible location so it doesn't cost $600 to replace a $36 part!

The check engine light came and we took the car to the dealership, where purchased new, and they ran a diagnostic test on it. The test showed that the rocker arm oil control valve solenoid was bad, and gm does not make a replacement nor is a replacement available. We have been in contact with gm concerning this, but was referred back to the dealership, who has told us their is no replacement part being made, and have left us with no options, as the car cannot be used as a trade in, due to this issue. I've been on the malibu forum and there are numerous people in the same situation, and gm is given us all the back of their hand, with no answers. We now have a 5 year old car that we are paying on, but cannot trade in or sell until gm and their dealerships act.

I have taken my car to 2 different mechanic shops to try and find the issue that i am having with acceleration. The car is not accelerating and no one knows what the problem is. It is currently with beck chevy and i am now at the $700 mark and my car has yet to be fixed. When driving the car will just stop accelerating and i have been stuck in the middle of a busy highway twice.
I was pulling out of parking lot when my car gears started to jerk then a "service power steering" icon flashed on the dashboard. My engine light read a p305f code which only told me it was a problem with the dual battery control module (dbcm) i then took the vehicle back to my local dealership and there diagnostics just said to replace the main battery. However i replaced both batteries and car still had the same problem. I did my personal research and i ended up replacing the battery module yet car still had same issue. I've already been to the dealership twice and can't afford to keep spending money on diagnostic test. I also noticed that this was a common issue for this vehicle and that multiple people had filed complaints about this particular problem. This problem happens to me at random times while driving or while pulling out of parking lot and is a major hazard if driving on busy street or highway. When it does the auto stop at a red light the car jerks and sometimes gears will lock up and transmission will experience problems as well. Other times the car just jerks and a service power steering icon will display on the dashboard

They attempted to order it, but said it was on backorder and had been for a while and they would look into it for me. Here it is, feb of 2020 and still no part. Gm that the part has been discontinued and there is no eta for a new part. They told me it was okay to drive, but it has a rough idle, power surges, it can barely accelerate and it has stalled on me several times. They keep telling me oh it's a "part delay". No, it's not ! you don't make the part anymore. There are thousands of people who have the 2014-2015 malibu's & impala's with the same issue. They need to issue a recall and fix these cars. My car is less than 5 years old & there is no reason that they shouldn't have a very simple, $60 part for it.

Takata recall-when i first purchased the car i notied the vehicle was having alot of trouble getting speed, and it was take a lot of time to shift. I immedietly returned to the dealership with the information, the dealership check the problems and said nothing was wrong will through the years i have gone back to them millions of times with the same problem and not once has it been properly addressed, the previous service advisor i went to for the dealership stated i needed a new transmisson/engine because the one the car has now was not good. The dealership continuted to hold off on putting a new one in until my warranty went out but the car has not been fixed. The car currently goes up to 7-8 rmp and stays there for a good 3 mins before shifting and at times does not what to accelerate which has put me in some dangerous situations.
Started car and reduced power engine warning came on for the second time. I had it fixed once already and it just came on. I am very disappointed with chevy. I was driving it the first time my light came on. The second time i just started my car. I was on a city street first time and city street second time. Both times my car wouldn't accelerate passed 12 miles per hour so i was a roll hazard.

I went to work friday september 27, 2019. Where my car sat for two hours. When i came back out i had a service air bag light on. My car is a 2105, i'm the second owner. It's never been in an accident. I took it to the dealer i had bought it from a year ago. They told me it was a faulty air bag module that needed to be replaced. Luckily it didn't take an accident for faulting in severe injury, before i had known what was going on. I called gm hoping to get some answers. Only to be told there was nothing they could do to help me. From reading online i've seen a lot of people have this issue. I just pray something can be fixed before someone gets seriously injured. This is a serious safety issue. We don't pay thousands of dollars for a car, to have things go seriously wrong with them. I understand things get wore out and need replaced, but coming from a company who states safety is a priority, i don't feel an air bag module should be going out after only 4 years.
The divers seat belt adjuster rattles while driving.one has been replaced and the plastic portion of the adjuster showed significant wear.i am concerned that this part could fail in a collision.
Passenger seat belt won't unbuckle, dash says service stabilitrak, engine power reduced, and speed limited to 25 mph
I went to leave my office yesterday afternoon 4/29/10 and my seat belt wouldn't release. I tried several differentthings to get it to release, no luck. Ihave had no previous issue with the drivers side seat belt, nor has my car ever been involved in any type of accident. My mechanic was unable to get the seat belt to unlock. A new seat belt was required. The part can only be bought at a dealership. I called 4 dealerships, none had it in stock. I could order and they would have it in 1-2 days. I finally found a dealership that had the part, it was 40 miles away. The part cost over 200.00 dollars, some quoted almost 300.00 and that's just for the part, no labor. This is a serious safety concern that needs to be addressed.
Check engine light randomly comes on and off. Unable to get a diagnostic check thoroughly because the engine light doesn't stay on. Was at an auto zone one day when it came on again and was given two of the same codes stating there may be an o2 sensor issue. A couple weeks later while driving i get a message on the car stating 'service power steering' then it goes off again. Check engine light went off.right driver back seat belt doesn't click in all the way but sometimes it does.
Airbag light is keep coming on. I have power seats and payed to get the panel fixed and the panel is hanging again.
The back of the driver seat moves on it's own. I didn't touch the button and it just started moving forward. Faulty wiring over my seat.the car wasn't started and didn't have the key in the ignition.
The plastic trim on drivers seat which has the controls on it to operate and hold the seat up on the side cracked and controls were not accessible and part was no longer holding up the seat.purchased car march 28,2015. On october 26,2017 i paid for the part and labor since i was told it was not under warranty. It's now april 9th, 2019and the part is pulling away from the seat again. I was told the warranty for the last repair expired on october 26, 2018. My option was to pay for the part and repair again. The plastic trim should be considered defective since it holds the seat up and the buttons that access the seat controls are on it. The part and labor charges should be covered by themanufacturer for this defective part.
The seat is stuck in place. I cannot move it forward or back

No problems prior to a simple spark plug change(ac delco iridium/oem). Few days later, car started hesitating, and losing acceleration, check engine light & service stability display on screen. Checked with obdii. Gave code of missing spark in #3. So i changed spark plug, thinking faulty plug. After driving a bit, code and same problem again. Took to dealer $170 later, bad coil...! 86k miles and bad coil, after changing plugs...hum! ok so if bad coil why is it giving me a service stabilitrack display? and not coming up on obdii diagnosis? i'm a certified transit desiel mechanic of 15yrs, and this puzzles me. I've ordered coil, changing tmrw. Lets see what outcome will be after chaning coil!
I have enjoyed my malibu but i have a issue from the day i purchased it. The plastic cover over the seat controls was torn when i purchased the car the cover has gotten worse as time has gone by and to be honest has become a hazard i torn a pair of slacks on the extremely sharp plastic piece and i am very careful getting in and out of the car because of the piece. Drivers side seat control cover piece. There is a defect in the seat design there is a metal tube running front to back you can see it in the pictures it cracked this cover and will crack any new cover that replace this cover. This is a design defect please find out if it is covered from chevy.there are multiple complaints listed on the internet for this exact piece cracking
Takata recall passenger seat will not go forward or backward and when i got the car i was smelling co2 carbon dioxide with the car moving.
The drivers seat moves unexpectedly front and back without manual contact therefor this can cause myself an accident by moving the back support to the front and backthis happened when the car turned off and while driving
Car was initially brought to independent service center in savannah, ga. They were able to replicate the problem with the braking system, but could not determine the root cause. Specifically, the brakes fail when the car is placed in reverse. It may be temperature sensitive as it is experienced when the car is starting up - typically in the morning. They sought help from vaden chevrolet in savannah, ga. The car was in their possession for 1+ weeks and they did not find a problem with the breaking system. The car was then returned to the independent service center where they continue to study the problem. When the car was returned to independent service center and vaden failed to acknowledge this safety issue, i contact general motors (1-866-636-2273) to report this safety issue directly. The individual my case was assigned to, "[xxx]", did not follow up on action items and when i tried to return her calls, her voicemail box was full. I asked for this case to be escalated today (2/5/2020), but she indicated she was at the top - no one to escalate issue to. When i asked if she reported directly to gm's ceo, [xxx] , she stated she did not know who that was. I have been without a car for quite sometime now (months) and would like this safety issue to be acknowledged by gm as it was acknowledged by my independent repair center. I am trying to prevent a serious problem (brakes failing while car is in use), but gm is not listening. I will not drive my car until it is addressed, but it's quite possible this problem exists in other 2015 chevy malibu's where perhaps the drivers aren't yet aware or don't understand the potential seriousness of this issue with an unaddressed, unknown root cause. I'm grateful for any assistance. Thank you.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Steering operation at low speeds makes clicking noise, both in forward and reverse, sounds like it is coming from under the dash.steering still operates normally.
Every time it rains or i wash the car, water leaks into my trunk. I've been told it was due to the antenna seal and i have heard this was a common problem with these cars, but i havent seen anywhere that there has been a recall.
The car trunk pops open unexpectedly. This has happened several times. It popped open overnight in the garage. It popped open when i was inside a restaurant.
My vechical was in motion driving thru an entrance to an arby's restaurant . I herd a loud noise n felt like my vechical was dragging with a pulling motion. When i stepped out i walked around to the front n my bumper was completely pushed in and folded into an inwards position. I pulled with my hand from the bottom of the bumper and pulled it out almost in its original position besides some of the plastic peices n fascia being cracked. Well upon further looking at it what had happened was the plate or cover as u will that is supposed to protect underneath the engine and radiator portion of the vechical came detactched from the most inward position of the vechical( the point closest to the center of the car) hit the ground n folded under neath my car smashing in the lower part of my bumper. Once i looked under their this piece is actually connected to the bumper in one piece when it should be detached. This vechical is a very bad design and is extremely low to the ground and what makes this bad is this piece is connected directly to the bumper which was almost completely ripped out in the process. Currently i have this end piece zipped tied to my frame at the point of which it became detached. I approached the dealer about this issue n they laughed at me like i did this when clearly it was from the cover or plate that sits below the engine. This part is a 79 dollar part but they want me to replace the whole fascia n bumper which they quoted at around 1500 dollar. Now if my bottom front hits any driveway or entrance way cause of the two low of a design this part can come detached from the frame and rip my bumper right off causing a major accident or saftey situation. Ty! for letting me voice my concern not sure u can do anything about it. Being knowledgeable about cars which i'm guessing u r it's the piece directly under my engine n i attached directly to the bumper.

Car was parked in a residential parking lot. A water leak began. Water was on the floor of the driver's side and on the floor on the passenger's side behind the driver. I took the car to an auto mechanic and i were told the leak was caused by a manufacturer's defect and the water had been slowly leaking into the car since i first had it. The water leaks in behind the dashboard and then accumulates between the body frame and the carpeting. He said the defect was a missing seal in the car body frame. I was told the defect can't be repaired because the frame is welded together and the area to put the seal in is impossible to access. He put another top coat seam in the cowl area, but stated due to the faulty body seam they cannot guarantee permanent water tight repair. The car was dried out for a week in the auto shop. Then the car was returned and the next morning the floor on the driver's side had a water leak again. The auto mechanic said that i should not keep this car.

Unknown - every time it rains or snows, somehow water gets in my car. The windows are completely shut, doors are closed, and trunk is too. However, the area for my spare tire fills up with water. It is now causing my back seat and seat belts to get soaked. The top that covers my spare tire has fallen through. Mold and mildew are developing and the smell takes over my car.

While driving the vehicle i stopped at a stop light and the car turned off due to the auto start/stop when idling. When i let off the brake, the car did not turn back on. After attempting to start the car again numerous times it would not. All electrical stayed on at this point. Car was towed to a chevy dealer in fenton, mi and they replaced battery and battery current sensor. Later i turned the car off and the radio and screen stayed on even after closing and opening the door. Then my car was idling at a stop light today and it auto turned off as when i let off brake it did not turn back on. All electrical stayed on. This time i was able to start the car back up but there's no telling when this will happen again. Very dissatisfied with this vehicle.

I purchased this car on 02/09/16, 1 1/2 hours after driving it off the lot, i was driving down a main road at appropriately 57 mph and my moon roof glass exploded. There were no cars close to the front of me. The glass appears to be bowing out of the vehicle, not into the vehicle, as you would expect if a rock had hit it. See the attached picture. There was no sound of anything hitting the roof, it simply sounded like a bomb exploding in my vehicle and glass went everywhere. My daughter was in the front seat and the glass hit her face. I called the local chevy dealer and they said there was nothing they could do that it was likely a rock. Now i have to file a claim with my insurance to fix the glass, my roof top and trunk lid as the glass scratched and etched the paint. Sounds like this has happened to quite a few people after searching similar instances with this vehicle.might be something chevy should look into. Thankfully my daughter and myself sustained no injuries, especially with the glass hitting her face. It left a small red mark but did not cut her.
Car was parked in a parking lot for over an hour when an electrical fire started by the battery and fuse panel. There have been no modifications made to the car at all. Standard maintenance only has been done including new tires about a year ago. There is no reason a parked cool car should catch on fire. There were no oil leaks at all on the car.
First complaint would be the button on the face of the radio screen is melting and when trying to open the black color comes of into your hand.second complaint is the side of the drivers side whole seat switch compartment came off of the seat hinges.

I purchased my vehicle on march 2015 off the showroom floor of a chevrolet dealership.on june 18, 2016 my car caught a fire while it was parked and i was not in the vehicle. I had been sitting in the car with the air blowing from the defroster for about 30 minutes. I drove to the store and came back home. I got out of the car and stood on the porch talking to my family.within in 10 minutes of me exiting my car, it was on fire. I ran to the car and could see that the fire was coming from right about where the windshield ends and where the hood of the car begins, right where the windshield wipers are.i called the fire department who put the fire out. They used the jaws of life to ply the hood open and cut the main wire to the car.i then contacted the gm manufacturing company chevrolet and started a claim with them to do an investigation on my vehicle as to what happened and why to this brand new car. Especially considering the fact their was no one in the car at the time it caught fire, thank god and as to no one could of started the fire because i was standing outside the entire time. The alleged investigation took about a month and a half to complete.i received a call a week prior to gm chevrolet manufacturing making a decision from one of their representatives asking me have i ever gotten the windshield wiper motor replaced before. I stated to her no i haven't and reminded her that the car was purchased new off their showroom floor and that i hadn't had anything replaced or altered on that car. On july 29th i was called by a gm chevrolet representative again telling me my claim was being denied because of a windshield wiper issue. I stated to her that i wouldn't have anything to do with that. She then changes the reason and states that gm chevrolet really cant determine what happened and they were denying my claim.their had been several recalls on gm cars
Check engine light is on. The part i need for my car no longer available 'oil control valve' so therefore i can't even get a sticker for my tag. My car keep failing emission due to this and this is ridiculous i have to still pay a car note for a car i can't drive.
Car was parked in a residential parking lot. A water leak began. Water was on the floor of the driver's side and on the floor on the passenger's side behind the driver. I took the car to an auto mechanic and i were told the leak was caused by a manufacturer's defect and the water had been slowly leaking into the car since i first had it. The water leaks in behind the dashboard and then accumulates between the body frame and the carpeting. He said the defect was a missing seal in the car body frame. I was told the defect can't be repaired because the frame is welded together and the area to put the seal in is impossible to access. He put another top coat seam in the cowl area, but stated due to the faulty body seam they cannot guarantee permanent water tight repair. The car was dried out for a week in the auto shop. Then the car was returned and the next morning the floor on the driver's side had a water leak again. The auto mechanic said that i should not keep this car.
On may 28, my husband and i noticed these fumes in the car, but we didn't know where they were coming from. When we opened the car trunk, we found that the tire sealant in the compressor kit was leaking on it's own. He brought the car to the dealership's auto shop and the compressor kit was replaced. On july 19, the check engine light came on. I brought the car to the dealership's repair shop, again.i was told that the computer module that controls the engine wasn't working right and it had to be reprogrammed by updating it. They were very vague in explaining the problem. My husband called the repair shop on july 28 and asked them to explain what was wrong with the car. They still didn't explain the problem very well and they said that they already told his wife. The statement that the the repair shop gave us says "customer states that check engine light is on, verified concern scan code p2096, as per tsb pi409 perform ecm re program clear codes / rechecked system all at specs." the mileage at that time was 2470.
The trunk release stopped working on fob and the trunk release button on the back of the car on trunk.
Several issues, the heat control knob had a short several months after buying new in 2018. Recently 2018, the steering column has been making a popping sound everytime i turn. Taken to dealer 3 times and still makes noise. After taking it on a vacation, the auto stop battery did not work when i came off the express way. Now, the car is filling with water everytime it rains on the drivers side. Only 4 years old with 36000miles and had many issues with this car. Not happy

I own a 2015 malibu lt 2.5l, i have not been able to pass the state required inspection due to a faulty oil control solenoid. (gm part #12633613 or gm part # 19419980) i have incurred over $1000 in diagnostic fees and taken the car to three (3) different independent mechanics and two (2) gm certified parts dealers trying to get this part replaced.gm is no longer manufacturing and referring customers to aftermarket parts.(aftermarket part recommended is the dorman 916-806) in doing research trying to find this part it seems this same part has malfunctioned on every 2014-2015 year model malibu and impala and gm is still not issuing a recall. I have filed customer service inquiries/complaints with multiple dealerships and gm directly. This is an egregious example of a manufacturing defect and they are offering no alternative other than buying a new car. The car is showing a code error p2646 (rocker arm malfunction in bank 1 stuck in off position).i have been attempting to rectify this problem since october 2019, and filed the official complaint with gm april,2020.case # with gm 9-592-2813084
I was driving on a main street, coming up to a full stop with cars in front & behind me. I proceeded to slowly acelerate when the light changed to green.

At that point, i placed the carr in park, turned car off & backon again, car began to move forward.
We was getting on the hwy. On ramp entered hwy. Heard a loud explosion and the sunroof has exploded leaving a 4 inch hole in sunroof and 12 inches wide the glass hit trunk and scratch on trunk of car. Brand new car 1416 miles on it.

While driving, the service engine light turns on randomly.when stopping, the car turns off.i try to restart it and the ignition fails.i need turn the key a few times until the car can finally start.dealership has not been able to diagnose the problem.
My car has begun dying in motion on city streets for no particular reason on top of the fuel economy not working correctly and causing the vehicle to run out of gas within a few days of filling it up. It will say 195 miles then jump to 207 on the fuel range.
Takata recall passenger seat will not go forward or backward and when i got the car i was smelling co2 carbon dioxide with the car moving.
2015 chevy malibu 1lt operating vehicle at normal speed limit in citytraffic and used interior heat for climate control modes buttons. A sudden "clicking' sound came from fan speed control when switching to the climate control modes. Sounded mostly from the driver side, and last for 2 to 3 seconds. No warning lights came on but may have been stuck in some re-set process. Noise seemed to be from defrost and heat control modes. Dealer replaced interior fan actuator and system now functions as intended. I also described this to the dealer as sounding like a fluttering sound from the fan speed control. Did not occur on the passenger side, just driver side. Has only 2300 miles thus far.
My engine light came on about two weeks ago. I took it today may 7, 2020 to the pine belt chevrolet in lakewood, nj. I explain to them that my car would shake and stall while driving. I explain to them that i did not feel safe driving especially with my four-year-old son in the backseat. I wanted to get it checked out and that was the reason why i brought it there. They informed me that this was caused due to a rocker control arm valve.they informed me that they would have to order the part, which they did, but that it would take a very long time to get it in. They did not offer me a loaner car as they did not keep my car to work on. They sent me back on the road with a shaking car that stalls while driving. I did my research and have seen that there was a petition of over 1500 signatures with owners of 2014 chevy impala's and 2015 chevy malibu's who all complains of the same thing and included that they have been waiting 4 or more months for this part. I am complaining for the fact that this is unsafe, there has been no recall for this though there have been numerous complaints and we are all paying for vehicles that are not safe to drive. I have attached the link to the petition that shows that numerous people have been complaining about this faulty part. Also, i am attaching my invoice. This needs to be recalled.

Passenger seat belt won't unbuckle, dash says service stabilitrak, engine power reduced, and speed limited to 25 mph
When turning left from a stop my car all at once said engine power reduced to 25mph, service airbag, service stabilitrac, and service brake assist.
I was stopped at a light at a very busy intersection (auto off engaged).when i started to move, the car would barely go (auto off was disengaged).it was jerking as i was giving it gas.the service stabilitrak message came on and my check engine light came on.i managed to pull into a parking lot , put it in park and then i tried to rev the engine and it just didn't want to.i shut it off and then turned it back on and the message disappeared.i drove back to work and it seemed fine, but for months now, it seems when i go to take off, it hesitates a bit before going.
I can be driving at normal speed and i receive an error that the engine power is reducing and the speed shifts down & i am unable to exceed 25 mph. The check engine light pops on & also an error regarding stabil loc needs to be serviced. My car has automatically shut off in the middle of traffic. I've had to pull over to a safe medium on the highway and mostly when the error occurs, i'm not able to turn a corner at a safe speed. Although i am able to start it right back off the error still persists. I have had what "they say" is the issue repaired twice but as soon as i get the car back, i have the same issue 1-3 days later.

With 2015 malibu stationary, overnight experienced loss of battery charge and wold not start. Upon recharge, it will now start.however, the hvac control is now inoperative.the hvac system still runs with the last settings it had.this is very similar to recall 13v567000 (chevrolet 13380) that applied to 2014 model chevrolets.it is a safety issue because one can no longer set the windshield to defrost for winter driving.furthermore, this belongs to a chain of electrical issues the car has had - loss of battery charge on 4 occasions, engine stoppage after hard braking on two occasions with warning message to check abs system, intermittent loss of center console display panel.obviously, if the engine stops in the middle of traffic after hard braking, this is also a safety issue.dealer has replaced both rear battery and forward battery, however, the problem diagnosis has clearly not been done.
The back defroster quit working over a year ago. Front defroster is blowing out the front vents when set on full defrost or feet and defrost. Noticed it when i started my car and it wasn't working on the windows and it wouldn't change.
I purchased my vehicle on march 2015 off the showroom floor of a chevrolet dealership.on june 18, 2016 my car caught a fire while it was parked and i was not in the vehicle. I had been sitting in the car with the air blowing from the defroster for about 30 minutes. I drove to the store and came back home. I got out of the car and stood on the porch talking to my family.within in 10 minutes of me exiting my car, it was on fire. I ran to the car and could see that the fire was coming from right about where the windshield ends and where the hood of the car begins, right where the windshield wipers are.i called the fire department who put the fire out. They used the jaws of life to ply the hood open and cut the main wire to the car.i then contacted the gm manufacturing company chevrolet and started a claim with them to do an investigation on my vehicle as to what happened and why to this brand new car. Especially considering the fact their was no one in the car at the time it caught fire, thank god and as to no one could of started the fire because i was standing outside the entire time. The alleged investigation took about a month and a half to complete.i received a call a week prior to gm chevrolet manufacturing making a decision from one of their representatives asking me have i ever gotten the windshield wiper motor replaced before. I stated to her no i haven't and reminded her that the car was purchased new off their showroom floor and that i hadn't had anything replaced or altered on that car. On july 29th i was called by a gm chevrolet representative again telling me my claim was being denied because of a windshield wiper issue. I stated to her that i wouldn't have anything to do with that. She then changes the reason and states that gm chevrolet really cant determine what happened and they were denying my claim.their had been several recalls on gm cars

At 8:00 p.m. I started my car to warm up. It was 27 degrees out and when i turned my heat on, no air would blow out. The car was in park. After i let it warm up for about 15 minutes, i noticed the air would still not blow out. I shut my car off and turned it back on and the air still would not blow out. The light on the knob indicating it was on, was not lit up. All other electrical functions were working fine in my vehicle. Once i started driving for about 10 minutes, all of a sudden the air kicked on and started blowing out. And functioned fine for the rest of the drive.

My defroster stopped working on my 2015 chevrolet malibu making it difficult to see out of the windshield while driving, when i turn on front window defrost it blows out of the front vents and no air comes out of my defrost. It's a headache and i feel a hazard to try to drive without this, i usually have to roll down my side windows to get anywhere with visibility. It doesn't matter if i am parked, driving, etc. It just does not work at all ever and it's scary to drive with this issue. My vehicle has 77,000 miles on it so i feel this problem should not be occuring.
