CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AT A RED LIGHT AND HAD NO POWER. STEERING LOCKS UP AND HAD TO PUSH CAR HAVE TOWED& THEN IT STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE AND IT STOPS EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE
Structure, May 14, 2019
MY WHOLE TRUNK AND BACK OF CAR HAS WATER COMING INTO IT. I RECENTLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $400 TO REPLACE BACK LIGHT BECAUSE SUPPOSEDLY THAT'S WERE THE WATER IS COMING IN THROUGH. I SAW ON GOOGLE MORE THEN 40 REVIEWS ON THAT EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2016 MALIBU'S.
Electrical system, Vehicle speed control, Engine, May 14, 2019
WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SLOWED ABRUBTLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE DASH GAVE OUT ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR TO RESET IT. THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT WENT OFF ON ITS OWN THE SECOND AND THERAFTER IT DID NOT. HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL REPLACED ONCE AND 7 MONTHS LATER IT IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AS A DRIVER AND THOSE AROUND ME!

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

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL OR SENSOR APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE ON THESE VEHICLES. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MINE TWICE WITHIN THE PAST 16 MONTHS. ALSO, AFTER RESEARCHING SEVERAL AUTO FORUMS, THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE. THIS DEFECT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO REDUCE POWER, WHICH THEN DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE OVER 25MPH. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHEN IT OCCURS, LIKE I WAS THE FIRST TIME THE PEDAL WENT OUT. THE 1ST EPISODE OCCURRED 1/18, WITH THE MOST RECENT EVENT OCCURRING TODAY.
Vehicle speed control, Apr 26, 2019
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, ENGINE RAPIDLY LOST POWER AND DISPLAYED "ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED" ALERT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SPEED BECAME MUCH LESS CONTROLLABLE. AS PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL WAS REDUCED, THE CAR DISPLAYED A GRADUALLY DECREMENTING "SPEED LIMITED TO X" MESSAGE. HOWEVER, UPON INCREASED PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE BEYOND THE STATED SPEED LIMITING - THOUGH WITH NEARLY TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. INCONSISTENT ENGINE PERFORMANCE NEARLY LED TO AN ACCIDENT AS THE CAR WAS NOT PREDICTABLE. WAS GIVEN A CODE P2138, DRIVE BY WIRE. TOOK TO DEALER, DEALER SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THEY ARE TO REPLACE GAS PEDAL. REQUEST RECALL DUE TO DANGEROUS CONDITION AND REPEATED COMPLAINTS REGARDING ISSUE.

2016 CHEVY MALIBU CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING ON. IT STATES REDUCE ENGINE SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I CAN ONLY GO 30-40MPG. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A COUPLE TIMES NOW. THE LATEST WAS TODAY. THEY HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING.
Vehicle speed control, Electronic stability control (ESC), Apr 12, 2019
HI, I LEASED A 2016 CHEVY MALIBU. WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, MY ENGINE POWER SUDDENLY LOWERED AND A NOTIFICATION POPPED UP SAYING THE SAME. THE RPM INCREASED TO 5+ SINCE I WAS TRYING TO TAKE EXIT AND THE CAR WAS LOSING CONTROL. I EVENTUALLY GOT TO GM SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE THROTTLE SENSOR GOT BAD WHICH WOULD COST $150+ TO REPLACE. HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE THEN AND ONCE A MONTH THE SAME NOTIFICATION POPS UP AND LOWERS MY ENGINE POWER UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. EACH TIME I DO THIS, I HAVE TO SUDDENLY STOP MY CAR ON THE SHOULDER. THE SENSOR IS NOT BAD, THE CAR JUST SENSES THAT THE SENSOR IS BAD AND REDUCES POWER. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SCAM WHERE GM WANTS TO MAKE MORE MONEY. MOREOVER, I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS WHERE PEOPLE DESCRIBE HOW THEY ALMOST LOST CONTROL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD FIX THIS AS A RECALL. I WANT GM TO ACCEPT THAT THEY INSTALLED A DEFECTIVE PART AND WILL FIX IT. THANKS. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE WENT INTO START/STOP, THE RADIO CUT OFF, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT CRAZY WITH WARNINGS. THE CAR WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON, I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN USE ME HAZARDS. I HAD NO ELECTRICAL IN THE CAR WHATSOEVER. I HAD TO LITERALLY KEEP PULLING THE DOOR HANDLE TO EVEN GET OUT OF IT. FINALLY HAD SOMEONE COME HELP ME PUSH IT OFF TO THE SIDE, JUMPED IT AND IT WAS FINE. EVER SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 20 MORE TIMES THAT THE RADIO CUTS OFF AND ON THEN THE CAR DIES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT THIS POINT. EACH TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, BUT BY THE TIME I GET IT STARTED AGAIN IT IS OFF. THEN RANDOMLY THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON AND OFF AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET THE CODE READ, BUT NOTHING. THIS IS UNSAFE AND VERY SCARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET MAILBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INTERNAL THROTTLE PEDAL FAILURE, WHICH CAUSED THE SPEED TO DECREASE DRASTICALLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DENOOYER CHEVROLET (127 WOLF RD, ALBANY, NY 12205) WHERE THEY REPLACED THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,680.

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

BOTH TIMES, POP UP ALERT SAYS "SHIFT TO PARK" AND THEN "ENGINE HAS REDUCED POWER" AFTER WHICH THE GAS PEDAL NO LONGER WORKS. AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THERE WAS A LOW BATTERY ALERT.
