MY 2016 CHEVY MALIBU COMPLETELY LOST POWER TWICE ON 2/6/2020. THE ENGINE SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE WAITING IN THE PICK UP LINE AT MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOL WHICH IS IN A PARKING LOT FULL OF KIDS. THE CAR JUST SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE. IT ACTUALLY DIED. NO INSTRUMENT PANEL ON, NO RADIO ON, NO HEAT. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN PUSH THE PEDAL ALONG WITH THE PUSH TO START BUTTON TO RESTART THE CAR. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES LATER WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ONCE AGAIN THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT THIS TIME I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DURING THE TIME WHEN KID'S ARE RELEASED FROM SCHOOL AND PEOPLE IN GENERAL ARE MOVING AROUND THE CITY. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED DURING A HEAVY SNOW HERE IN MY STATE. FOR A PERSON DRIVING UP BEHIND ME I'M SITTING THERE WITH NO LIGHTS ON AT A NOW GREEN TRAFFIC LIGHT IN UNSAFE WEATHER CONDITIONS. VEHICLES WERE BLOWING AND GOING AROUND US TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO ACT FAST FOR OUR SAFETY ALONG WITH THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF WERE SCARED OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW 2/7/2020 AT A GENERAL MOTORS DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THIS MORNING, AND THE SPEED OF THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WAS PLENTY OF CARS BEHIND ME MAKING THE SUDDEN DROP OF SPEED UNSAFE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE, AND THAT IT'S NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. I HAVE HEARD IT'S COMMON IN 2016 MALIBU'S. I HAVEN'T HAD THIS CAR THAT LONG, AND IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON.

WHEN STOPPING THE VEHICLE THE SHIFTER CONTROL MODULE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE PARK POSITION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE DISPLAY'S A MESSAGE AND A WARNING BELL SOUNDS WHEN YOU OPEN THE CAR DOOR. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, DASH AND RADIO OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL THE VEHICLE BELIEVES IT'S PROPERLY PUT INTO PARK. NO ERROR CODE IS STORED IN THE CARS MEMORY. GM HAS A FIX FOR THIS BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS RECURRING. MY VEHICLE'S SHIFTER MODULE WAS REPLACE UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THAT FIX FAILED 2 YEARS LATER. THE MOST RECENT FIX WAS TO REPLACE A HARNESS IN THE SHIFTER MODULE. THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX THIS UNDER THE EXISTING CPO WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A RECURRING ISSUE AND THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE SERVICE BULLETINS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND ORIGINALLY REPAIRED UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THIS MOST RECENT FIX HAS FAILED AGAIN AFTER 6 WEEKS OF BEING REPLACED. IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHAT GEAR IT IS IN I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. AS IT IS WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE VEHICLE (SHIFTER MODULE) IS IN THE PARK POSITION THE VEHICLE STAYS ACTIVE AND DRAINS THE BATTERY UNTIL THE ERROR IS CORRECTED. YOU ALSO CANNOT LOCK THE VEHICLE. THE CAR HAS TO BE RESTARTED AND MOVED AND IF YOU ARE LUCKY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT DOWN IT WILL FINALLY RECOGNIZE THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. AS THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY IF THE VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE IF THEY DO NOT SEE THE ERROR MESSAGE ON THE VEHICLES DRIVER INFORMATION SCREEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE.

HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE NOW THEY WANT ME TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AT MY COST SINCE IT IS OVER 3 YRS OLD BUT STILL UNDER 30,000 MILES.
