2013 Chevrolet Malibu

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 WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. AS OF 5/15/19 CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP.*JP

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 ROAD.IT WAS A FAST RADIO OUT, FAST ENGINE WIND DOWN AND OUT OF POWER AND DOOR LOCKS WENT ON AND OFF.THERE WAS A DRIVEWAY FOR ME TO PULL IN TO AND ASSESS THE SITUATION.ENGINE THEN ENGAGED AND THINGS SEEMED BACK TO NORMAL.I CONTINUED HOME, HAD 2 ISSUES BUT I WAS GOING SLOWER AS I WAS AWARE THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN.I PULLED OVER AND CONTINUED EACH TIME.I HAD TO STOP AT THE STORE AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE CAR WAS TRYING TO SHUT DOWN AND STEERING WENT OUT MORE THAN ONCE UNTIL I FINALLY GOT IN THE PARKING SPOT.DROVE HOME,PARKED.I WENT INTO THE HOUSE AN READ THE MANUAL.I DECIDED TO GO OUT AND CHECK MY FUSES.KEY FOB DID NOT WORK.DOORS WERE UNLOCKED, GOT IN CAR, PUT KEY IN THE IGNITION AND CAR WAS TOTALLY DEAD.KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION.MY HUSBAND CALLED TOW TRUCK IN THE AM TO JUMP.CAR WOULD NOT JUMP SO HE HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER WHERE IT IS AT THIS MOMENT.I AM AFRAID I'M GOING TO BE KILLED OR CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE HARM IF THEY END UP CRASHING INTO ME BECAUSE OF THE QUICK SHUT DOWN AND LOSS OF STEERING!!!

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. THE CODE FOR A BAD CAM SOLENOID WAS LISTED, AND THAT WAS REPLACED. DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK, STILL NOTICING ISSUES WITH RPMS, AND WHEN BRAKING, THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE. JUST HAD TO DROP IT BACK OFF AT MECHANIC BECAUSE WHILE GOING 30MPH, THE CAR WHEN TO 4000 RPMS AND THE 'ENGINE OVERSPEED' LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, AND THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER. 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 70,000 MILES, AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANKFULLY I'VE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT YET, BUT I'M FEARFUL IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I'LL NOT BE ABLE TO SAY THAT!

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 CHEVY, MALIBU WITH 46,901 MILES AT 80MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR STARTED LOOSING POWER AND BECAME UNEASY TO DRIVE. THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT, STABILITY TRACK LIGHT, AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENCE, MY ENGINE AND STABILITY TRACK LIGHTING WOULD COME ON AT RANDOM MAKING THE CAR DIFFICULTY TO DRIVE. I WOULD TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE TECH COULD NOT REPLICATE/DUPLICATE THE ENGINE LIGHT/STABILITY TRACK COMING. THE DEALERSHIP HAD ME TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY AND CHANGE SPARK PLUGS, BUT ENGINE LIGHT/STABILITY TRACK CONTINUED TO COME ON AT RANDOM. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX ANYTHING THAT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED/DUPLICATED. *TR

I HAVE HAD PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 MALIBU SINCE I PURCHASE IT ON OCTOBER 22, 2015. ON OCTOBER 07,2016 ME AND MY CHILD ALMOST GOT HIT BY A 18 WHEELER GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE. I RAN IN THE DITCH TO AVOID HAVING A ACCIDENT. I LOOK IN THE DASH OF THE CAR AND IT STATED THAT ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND WHEN I PUSH THE GAS DOWN IT TOLD ME ENGINE OVERSPEED. THE CAR IS PARK NOW BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. UPDATED 10/05/16*LJ *TR
