2017 Chevrolet Malibu

DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD AND IT LOSES POWER AND WONT LET YOU DRIVE OVER 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE ALSO WOULD NOT START. HAD TO LET THE CAR SIT FOR 15 SECONDS THEN TRY TO START IT AGAIN FOR IT TO START. THEN IT WOULD CUT OFF WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PISTONS AND ADDED A NEW BATTERY STILL HAD A PROBLEM AND NOW THEY REPLACED ACCEL PEDAL SENSOR. AND NOW DRIVES A LITTLE FUNNY.

VEHICLE HAS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" ERROR DISPLAYED AND WILL SUDDENLY STALL ANYWHERE IN TRAFFIC CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. PEOPLE WHO NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS. WILL HAVE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXIT THE VEHICLE TO CHECK WHAT IS WRONG AND RISK POSSIBLY BEEING HIT AND KILLEOTHER D BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS FEATURE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON ANY VEHICLE. IT CAUSES ENDAGERMEMT FOR DRIVERS AND OTHER TRAFFIC. IT IS A NEEDLESS FEATURE. IF ANY SENSOR IS BAD IT ALREADY GETS DISPLAYED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO ON TOP OF IT STALL THE VEHICLE CAUSING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER TRAFFIC.

I'VE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND THE ACCELLARATOR PETAL HAS GONE OUT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANS ON AND AS I WAS DRIVING, IS GAVE A MESSAGE SAYING ENGINE POWER REDUCING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE JIM ELLIS DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AND THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS THE ACCELLORATOR PETAL FAULT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO SEVERAL MALIBU'S FIE SOME YEARS NOW AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS A MASSIVE RECALL. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR A VEHICLE WITHIN A YEAR OF PURCHASING. MIND YOU MY WARRANTY IS NOT IN EFFECT, IT'S EXPIRED. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND SEVERAL MALIBU'S SINCE 2008 HAS THIS SAME ISSUE. ONCE THE REDUCE SPEED TOOK PLACE, IT WOULD NOT ALLOW MY VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 60 MILES PER HOUR WHILE ON THE FREEWAY.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE 2018, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND I'D GET A MESSAGE READING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THE TURBO WOULD BE SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 5 TIMES BEFORE THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE TURBO VALVE. NOTHING HAPPENED AND ALL WAS FINE UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. MY PARTNER AND I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER CODE RESET ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY RESET IT AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. WITHIN ONE WEEK, IT WAS BACK ON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT SINCE EACH TIME I TAKE IT IN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEES THE ISSUE BUT THEY CONTINUALLY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHT COMES ON BOTH WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY, IN MY GARAGE, IN A PARKING LOT, DRIVING ON SUBURBAN STREETS, ON THE HIGHWAY, WHENEVER. THERE'S NO SPECIFIC MOVEMENT THAT TRIGGERS THIS AND NO PAST OR CURRENT RECALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT APPARENTLY FOR THE MALIBU VEHICLES, ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO.

BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW 12-5-17 AND ON 12-6-17 ENGINE LIGHT WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY CAME ON I WAS ADVICE BY SERVICE MEMBER AT DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM AND IT WOULD FIX ITSELF. ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY AND THEN 10-11-18 IN WHILE IN MOTION ON STREET ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR DECELERATED IN SPEED GIVING MESSAGE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. WAS GOING TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP THAT FOLLOWING MONDAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY AGAIN BEFORE THAT TIME. TODAY 11-22-18 ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON,WHILE IN MOTION ON STREET SPEED REDUCED, SAME MESSAGE SAYING ENGINE POWERED REDUCED. THOSE TIMES THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SPEED WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR

TL THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY DECELERATED AND THE ENGINE, TRACTION, AND REDUCED POWER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CABLE DAHMER OF KANSAS CITY (555 W 103 ST, KANSAS CITY, MO 64114, (816) 285-4589) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT AN UNKNOWN SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,500.

MY 2017 CHEVY MALIBU HAS BEEN DOING POWER ENGINE REDUCED FOR AWHILE IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN TO MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE CAR REDUCES SPEED WHILE DRIVING SHOUTING MY CAR DOWN TO GO NO FASTER THEN 20 MPH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHEVY IS GIVING ME A RUN AROUND ABOUT WHEN OBVIOUS THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME LIKE THIS. I HAVE WARRANTY ON MY CAR AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED MY CAR PROPERLY LEAVING ME EVERYDAY AT RISK DRIVING THIS UNSAFE CAR THAT CAN CAUSE A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DOSE IT WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHICH HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ALREADY. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR ALL THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS CAR WHICH IS CRAZY SINCE IT'S A NEW CAR. I NEED TO KNOW IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE IN THIS CAR SINCE THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS MY AIRBAGS THEN IT WAS THE SUSPENSION WHICH I WAS TOLD AGAIN THE SUSPENSION ARE BAD MEANING THEY PROBABLY NEVER FIXED THEM ALONG WITH THIS ENGINE PROBLEM I'M HAVING.
