NHTSA Complaint #10422834 — 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU

TRANSMISSION FORGETS HOW TO SHIFT WHEN DRIVING UPHILL AT AROUND 65 MPH AND RPMS START BOUNCING BETWEEN 2000 TO 2400 RPM. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMP IS ABOVE 90F. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON THE HIGHWAY AS CARS ARE BEARING DOWN ON YOU AT 70 MPH PLUS AND YOUR CAR REFUSES TO ACCELERATE. THIS CAR IS A DEATH BOX AND DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. I GUESS BEFORE ANYONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN 4 TIMES FOR THE ISSUE AND THEY ALWAYS SAY IT CAN'T BE REPLICATED AND HAVE REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. THE 2010 CHEVY MALIBU IS A LEMON! THE PROBLEM BEGAN OCCURRING AFTER 1000 MILES AND WE HAVE GIVEN UP TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO GET FIXED. IT IS OBVIOUS THEY HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FIX IT AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. WE NOW HAVE 19000 MILES ON IT AND THE PROBLEM NEVER GOES AWAY. I WISH WE COULD BURN THIS CAR TO THE GROUND. I HAVE DOCUMENTED MANY OTHER MALIBU 2.4L OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
