2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU Engine Problems

WAS DRIVING ALONG ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN CAR SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF AND POWER STEERING IS GONE CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GO OFF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS PLEASE MAKE THE RECALL PUBLIC.

CAR WAS JERKING WHILE ACCELERATING HAPPENED FOR ABOUT 5 MINS THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HAMILTON CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 5800 E 14 MILE RD, WARREN, MI 48092, (586) 838-1537) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PIIR = Y. *JB

SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE USED FROM A DEALERSHIP ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO IT HAS AN INTERMITTENT STALLING PROBLEM WHERE DURING CITY DRIVING THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AT A SLOW AND NORMAL IDLE MEANING THE CARS NOT MOVING EXAMPLE WOULD BE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT,STOPPING AT A MAILBOX OR GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THRU OR EVEN COASTING IN REVERSE OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE DONE MULTIPLE THINGS AND CANNON SEEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

THE A/C BLOWS OUT HOT AIR. SINCE I'VE BEEN CONSISTENTLY BLOWING IT OR TRYING TO BECAUSE IT IS SUMMER, MY CAR STARTING JERKING. IT MIGHT WORK EVERY NOW AND AGAIN. SOMETIMES, ONCE I'M SLOWING DOWN AND THE AIR IS SUPPOSEDLY BLOWING, MY CAR CUTS OFF ON ME WHILE I'M IN DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PARKING THE CAR AS WELL AS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I NEEDED TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS, IT CUT OFF ON ME A RED LIGHT.

CAR KEEPS POWERING OFF WHILE DRIVING INSIDE PANEL LIGHTS TURN OFF THEN CAR POWERS DO AND GOES BACK ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE KEY TURNED IN THE IGNITION; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED AND DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE CAMSHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE PERFORMED NORMALY FOR A WEEK, BUT LATER WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING INTAKE AND EXHAUST FAILED AND NEEDED REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BOTH TIMES. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE WIRING ON THE BATTERY WAS DONE IMPROPERLY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,080.

CAR SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS SPORADIC THEN SHUTS DOWN.

DAMAGE TO OIL PAN FROM COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, MY DAUGHTER WAS SLOWING DOWN COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT. BEFORE SHE STOPPED THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED BLOWING THEN THE CAR TURNED OFF. SHE PUT IT IN PARK AND WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN, THE FIRST TIME IT WAS WHEN SHE PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE.

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN OUR 2013 CHEVY MALIBU WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WHEN ABOUT 1/2 WAY INTO THE SPACE I EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION BY THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO A BOLLARD IN FRONT OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING ME TO HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. *DT ADD CPSC *JS

WHEN DRIVING MY MALIBU IT SEEMS TO HAVE A SHORT CIRCUIT WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL EVEN THE SLIGHTEST. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES CHECKED ALL THE WIRES AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE. I HAVE FIGURED OUT EVEN WHEN I'M DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT AND MAKE IT HARD FOR ME TO EVEN TURN. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MALIBU'S EVERYWHERE AND THAT GM IS NOT WILLING TO MAKE IT A NATIONAL RECALL BECAUSE IT MUST BE HAPPENING WHILE THEY SEE THE CAR. SO I GUESS I HAVE TO WAIT FOR ME TO CRASH? TO SEE THAT THE POWER STEERING GAVE OUT ON ME ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE ELECTRICAL WORK ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LUNGED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THERE WAS A CONSTANT LOSS OF POWER. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONSTANTLY PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COYLE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (1801 BROADWAY ST, , IN 47129, (812) 218-1100) AND SERVICED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE SONLY , SONLY BOLT, SONLY GENERATOR, AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR, FLUSHED THE COOLANT, REPLACED COMPRESSOR KIT(2), AND PERFORMED ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. HOWEVER, THE FAILURES STILL OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. .*BP CONSUMER STATED TRANSMISSION WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. CAM-ACTUATORS HAVE DUST WHICH CAUSES A CAR TO FLUTTER OR DIE. CONSUMER TOLD THE MECHANIC THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM THERE ARE OF COMPLAINTS...

3/19/19 I WENT IN FOR AN OIL/FILTER CHANGE AND A "PREMIER ENGINE OIL SERVICE" (WHICH WAS EXPLAINED AS A ENGINE FLUSH TO MY WIFE). SATURDAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATES AND I PUT A CODE READER ON AND A P0010 (INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT). AFTER RESEARCHING I SAW THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM ON OTHER MALIBU MODELS BUT DID NOT SEE ANYTHING FOR MY VIN, SHOULD I HANDLE HIS ON MY OWN OR REFER BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS THEIR ERROR?

IF THE KEY IS REMOVED WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, THE VEHICLE MAY ROLLAWAY AS OCCUPANTS ARE EXITING , INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY

THE OIL VACUUM PUMP BURST OPEN CAUSING A MAJOR OIL LEAK. NO PRIOR OIL LEAKS OR DAMAGES TO VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE SENSOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES SHUT OFF WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN.

MAIN ST, WHITE HALL, OH), BUT NO FAILURE COULD BE FOUND. AFTER THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

EXPRESSWAY.THE RADIO BLACKED OUT, STOPPED PLAYING AND THEN THE CAR STARTED SHUTTING DOWN-EVERYTHING!STEERING WENT OUT, RADIO, LIGHTS, BLINKERS, ETC.I TOOK IT AS SLOW AS I COULD ALL THE WAY HOME AND GOT ONTO BACK ROADS.THIS PROVED TO BE EVEN MORE HAZARDOUS-EVERY TIME I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL IT WOULD START TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN & AGAIN, ALL THE WAY HOME.I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER-FIXED BUT NOW HAPPENING AGAIN.SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS QUICKLY AND RECOVERS QUICKLY ENOUGH THAT THE ENGINE IS NOT INVOLVED.MY WARNING SIGN IS THAT THE RADIO CUTS OUT AND THE SCREEN GOES BLANK.THAT'S WHEN I KNOW TO PREPARE MYSELF. SOMETIMES THAT IS ALL THAT HAPPENS.OTHER TIMES IT'S MAJOR! I LOOK FOR AN ESCAPE ROUTE-CAN I GET OFF THE ROAD QUICKLY, ARE THERE OTHER CARS AROUND ME, BRACE BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, SLOW MY SPEED AND PRAY.2/10/19, I WAS DRIVING 55+ MPH ON A 2 LANE...

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 CHEVY MALIBU ON THE HIGHWAY & TURNPIKE, I WAS DRIVING APPROX 60-70 MILES AND HOUR AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE VEHICLE DECREASED SPEED DOWN TO 30 MPH AND ALSO HAD ME CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON AND A MESSAGE "ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED". I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER; HOWEVER, THIS IS A DANGER AND SHOULD BE RESOLVED AS STILL THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR SINCE I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND ADVISED OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. STILL HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE YET WHICH I WAS SHOCKED. I ASKED THE GENTLEMAN IF THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AND HE STATED YES. SO I AM VERY SHOCKED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. MY VEHICLE NOW IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND STILL MECHANICS DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG...

CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT A MECHANIC BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT BEGAN WITH THE RPMS GOING TO 3000-4000 WHEN BARELY PRESSING GAS PEDAL. THE CAR STALLED AFTER PUTTING IT IN REVERSE NEARLY CAUSING ME TO GET HIT, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO WE TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO OUR MECHANIC.

AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED, THE RPMS WOULD NOT GO BEYOND 2000, AND THE FUEL HAND WENT TO A FULL TANK? THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR WITH...

SATURDAY I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED. THE WHEEL LOCKED AND THEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD NO PROBLEM RESTARTING IT. TODAY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING.

WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR TRYING TO PARK IT IT SHUTS DOWN AND KEYS GET LOCKED OR STUCK, UNABLE TO REMOVE KEYS. WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES IF YOU TURN ON HIGHLIGHTS IT SHUTS DOWN THE CAR. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND CHEVROLET. I ALMOST CRASH WITH OTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. IT REALLY IS A FABRIC ISSUE, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CASES AND COMPLAINTS DEMONSTRATING THAT THIS IS A ERROR THAT GM OR CHEVROLET NEEDS TO FIX FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.
