All Engine And Engine Cooling Complaints
The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the temperature gauge began to indicate the vehicle was overheating after which the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. The check engine and air bag warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the oil pan gasket; resulting in damage to the engine, and ABS control module resulting in the air bag warning light. The contact was informed that the engine would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, who again diagnosed a failure with the oil pan gasket. The vehicle was repaired, but again the failure occurred for the third time. The manufacturer was...
AT FIRST THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER WHEN TRYING TO START, HAPPENED WHEN USING KEY IN IGNITION AS WELL AS USING THE REMOTE STARTER, THIS WAS RANDOM. WOULD RUN FINE FOR DAYS, SOMETIMES FOR A WEEK, THEN IT WON'T START. ALSO AS THE WEEKS WENT BY WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR JUST QUITS RUNNING, COULDN'T GET IT STARTED, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT STARTS (THANKFULLY). ALSO HAPPENED WHILE IN PARK, CAR JUST STOPS. ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL NOT ACCELERATE, PRESS ON GAS PEDAL...NOTHING. UNTIL TODAY AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTS TO ACCELERATE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FEW WEEKS AGO, STATED IT WAS THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR ($120.00), THEREFORE WE REPLACED BOTH SENSORS. NO CHANGE! OH WE ALSO REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTOR SENSOR IN THE BACK. HUSBAND READ SOMEONE ELSE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM...
