2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON MOVING OR SITTING AND SAYS SERVICE AIRBAG.THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SAYS OFF EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN IT

MY CAR WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE. IT HAD JUST PASSED THE ADMISSIONS TEST, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I STARTED DRIVING MY CAR IN THE CITY LIMITS, AND WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT I SMELLED SMOKE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAR BEHIND ME. AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT I REALIZED THAT IT WAS MY CAR THAT WAS SMOKING. UPON LIFTING MY HOOD I SEEN OIL EVERYWHERE AND MY ENGINE WAS SMOKING. AN ALERT CAME ACROSS MY SCREEN URGING ME TO DECREASE SPEED AND ADD OIL. AFTER INVESTIGATING IT WAS TOLD TO ME THAT IT IS MY ENGINE VARIABLE TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE, AND GM IS CURRENTLY NOT MAKING ANYMORE AND THIS PART IS SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE. I NEED THIS PART IN ORDER FOR MY CAR TO RUN!!!!!

MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SERVICE STABILI TRACK LIGHT FLASHED ON MY SCREEN AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING BUT WENT OFF AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE . THE NEXT DAY WHILE ACCELERATING THE CAR STUTTERED AND FELT ALMOST LIKE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD WITH LITTLE RIVETS . ITS STOPPED AND AGAIN ALL THE LIGHTS DISSAPEARED. THIS MORNING AS SOON AS I STARTED MY CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE IT STUTTERS AND FEELS AS IF I'M DRIVING DOWN A RIVETED ROAD .

MY VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SOLENOID WENT OUT ON MY CAR. THE PART NUMBER IS 12633613. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 10 DAYS AND CHEVY HAS FAILED TO EVEN GIVE THE SHOP AN ETA ON THIS PART. NOT ONE CHEVY DEALER IN THE COUNTRY HAS THE PART. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE PART I NEED FOR MY CAR NO LONGER AVAILABLE 'OIL CONTROL VALVE' SO THEREFORE I CAN'T EVEN GET A STICKER FOR MY TAG. MY CAR KEEP FAILING EMISSION DUE TO THIS AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS I HAVE TO STILL PAY A CAR NOTE FOR A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE.

SEPT 2019 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU. DEALER DETERMINED PART# 12633613, ROCKER ARM CONTROL VALVE, IS THE SOURCE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CAN NOT GET THE PART THRU DEALER OR AFTERMARKET. I AM IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALER ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND THERE IS NO ETA ON OBTAINING THE PART. I FILED A CASE WITH CHEVROLET ALSO AND THEY ALSO HAVE NO ETA. EVERY TWO DAYS A CHEVY REP CALLS ME TO TELL ME THERE IS NO UPDATED INFORMATION. THIS PART AFFECTS MALIBU'S & IMPALA'S AND IF YOU LOOK ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF PEOPLE THAT NEED THE SAME PART. THERE ARE EVEN ONLINE FORUMS DEDICATED TO THIS PARTICULAR PART PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE PART FOR THIS MANY PEOPLE LOOKING FOR REPLACEMENTS. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND CHEVROLET APPARENTLY IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VARIABLE TIMING OIL CONTROL SENSOR FAILED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT MANUALLY DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED THE BATTERY TO BE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (NEIL HUFFMAN CHEVROLET BUICK GMC OF FRANKFORT 1220 VERSAILLES RD #102, FRANKFORT, KY 40601) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE OIL CONTROL SENSOR. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS INDEFINITELY ON BACKORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TRUNK RELEASE STOPPED WORKING ON FOB AS WELL AS THE RELEASE BUTTON ON BACK OF CAR ON THE TRUNK. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THERE WAS AN INTERNAL SHORTENING ON THE DECK LID LATCH.

THE ROCKER ARM CONTROL VALVE HAS TO BE CHANGED ON MY CAR. GENERAL MOTORS AND CHEVEROLET CONTINUES TO SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO GET THE PART. MY CHECK LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND I NEED THIS MATTER CORRECTED. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUY THE PART AND GET IT FIXED. I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2019. THE PART NUMBER IS 12633613.

UNKNOWN - EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR SNOWS, SOMEHOW WATER GETS IN MY CAR. THE WINDOWS ARE COMPLETELY SHUT, DOORS ARE CLOSED, AND TRUNK IS TOO. HOWEVER, THE AREA FOR MY SPARE TIRE FILLS UP WITH WATER. IT IS NOW CAUSING MY BACK SEAT AND SEAT BELTS TO GET SOAKED. THE TOP THAT COVERS MY SPARE TIRE HAS FALLEN THROUGH. MOLD AND MILDEW ARE DEVELOPING AND THE SMELL TAKES OVER MY CAR.
