2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU ECO Fuelpropulsion System Problems

BATTERY VOLTAGE INDICATOR CAME ON FIRST AND ENGINE LIGHT INDICATOR ON. REPLACED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. CAR STALLS WHEN GAS PEDAL NOT APPLIED. CAR TURNS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN BRAKING TO STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS, SLOWING DOWN TO TURN. IT'S COMPLETELY UNSAFE. IT HAS TURNED OFF ON ME CROSSING MAJOR HIGHWAYS. MECHANIC REPLACED FUEL PUMP DUE TO P0300 CODE ETC. CAR STILL STALLS AND TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING, SLOWING DOWN TO STOP, TURNS OFF AT RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS AND WHEN BRAKING TO TURN. AT TIMES, I DO SMELL AS IF SOMETHING IS BURNING. THIS SMELL DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, THE ALTERNATOR, AND THE FUEL PUMP. THE CAR STILL STALLS AND CUTS OFF. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST 2018, I HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SINCE OCTOBER 2018.

I HAVE A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU ECO AND WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BAD GAS AT FIRST BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. WELL NOT EVEN 15 MINUTES LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP LIKE IT DID BEFORE AND DIDNT HAVE NO MORE ISSUES OUT OF IT. THE NEXT DAY HAD TO DO SOME RUNNING AROUND THE CAR DID FINE UNTIL THE WAY HOME. THE CAR CUT OFF ON ME THREE DIFFERENT TIMES.ONLY DOES IT WHEN I COME TO A STOP NO MATTER WHERE I'M AT. SOMEDAYS THE CAR DOES BETTER THEN OTHERS JUST HOPE IT DON'T CUT OFF ON ME WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE ISSUE OF ATALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE ELECTRICAL POWER WILL CUT OUT AFFECTING MY BREAKS, POWER STEERING, GAUGES, AND ENGINE. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED OVER MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC....BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER LIGHTS...DOORS LOCKED...NO HEADLIGHTS OR BLINKERS WORKED. NO POWER STEERING...WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING AFTER IT WAS JUMPED...REPLACED BATTERY...RAN FOR 2 WEEKS... SAME THING HAPPENED...DEALER WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT..

WHILE DRIVING ACROSS A BRIDGE AT ABOUT 50MPH, THE ENGINE LIGHT, POWER STEERING, ABS AND BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER. I HAD LITTLE CONTROL OF THE CAR BUT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER. I COULD HAVE CRASHED ONTO THE MEDIAN OR ANOTHER FASTER CAR COULD HAVE HIT ME, I COULD HAVE DIED. TRIED TO GET A JUMP BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY ON ONCE CABLES WERE REMOVED. TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE 2 BUSINESS DAYS LATER I'M TOLD THE TIMING CHAINS, CAM SHAFT AND FUEL PUMP NEED REPLACING. CAR IS UNDER 38,000 MILES. I HAVE WITNESSED MY DASHBOARD AND RADIO LIGHT UP WHEN NO ONE IS IN IT AND ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED. CAR TURNED OFF ONCE LAST WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING UNDER 20MPH BUT IMMEDIATELY TURNED BACK ON BY ITSELF. JUST THOUGHT MAYBE I...

THE FUEL MILEAGE IS VERY INCONSISTENT. IT CAN RANGE FROM AN AVERAGE OF 20 TO 28 AND HAS BEEN AS LOW AS 18 AND AS HIGH AS 29. BEFORE YOU DISMISS THIS COMPLAINT AS DRIVING CONDITIONS OR ROUT-THIS CAR TRAVELS THE SAME 8 MILE ROUT 4 DAYS A WEEK TO WORK AND NOT MUCH MORE THAN THAT IN AN AVERAGE MONTH. IT HAS BEEN ON HIGHWAY TRIPS AND NOT GOTTEN OVER 29 MPG. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS DUEL TO THE FUEL MIXTURE THAT I WAS PURCHASING. I HAVE TRIED EVERY BRAND OF GAS IN THE TOWN I LIVE IN AND IT DOES NOT HAVE A NOTICEABLE EFFECT ON THIS PROBLEM. DOES NOT ACHIEVE THE ADVERTISED MILEAGE. *TR
