NHTSA Complaint #11307600 — 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU

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.
