2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

THE HIGH MOUNTED TAIL LIGHT POPS UP AND HAS CAUSED LEAKAGE INSIDE THE VECHILE. ALSO THE ESC WARNING LIGHT COME ON FOR NO REASON UNDER REGULAR DRIVING CONDITIONS AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN YOU PUT CAR IN PARK IT WILL STATE THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK SO YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE SHIFTER A LITTLE.

MY DRIVE TO WORK IS A LONG COMMUTE, IT HAPPEN TO ME ON THE FREEWAY I WAS ON THE LAST LANE DRIVING 80 WHEN IT LITERALLY ' POWER ENGINE REDUCE ' COMES OUT ON MY SCREEN. IT LITERALLY STOPPED MY CAR TO LOWER SPEED AND COULDN'T STEP ON IT FOR THE CAR BEHIND ME I HAD TO PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON SO THEY CAN MOVE AWAY FROM ME! AND HAD TO REACH THE SAFETY SIDE, IT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE AND IT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME EVERY OTHER 3-5 DAYS. THEN WHEN I'M ON TRAFFIC JAM, THE STEERING WHEEL REDUCE DRIVE WITH CARE POPS UP AND TURNS OFF MY CAR POWER AND RADIO AND EVEN UNLOCKS THE CAR. AND DOES IT WEIRD NOISE AND TURNS BACK ON AND STARTS OVER. KEPT HAPPENING TO ME ON TRAFFIC JAMS ON THE FREEWAY.

THE TRUNK OF THE CAR IS FILLED WITH WATER THAT HAS BEEN DRIPPING OUT ALL DAY. THE REAR ROOF OF THE CAR IS SOAKED ON BOTH SIDES. THE CAR SMELLS MUSTY & ALL OF THE INSIDE WINDOWS HAD SO MUCH CONDENSATION IT WAS DRIPPING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

WHEN AT A STP LIGHT, AND PRESS EXCELERATOR THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM H WILL GO OUT & CAR HESITATE TO MOVE. THEN, IT WILL KICK ON. ALSO, THIS THROWS MY SIRUS RADIO OUT COMPLETELY & I HAVE TO CUT THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY TO GET STATION BACK ON OR CALL FOR A REFRESH, BUT LOCAL STATIONS WILL REMAIN. NOW I GET A WARING ABOUT THE STEERING ABILITY-DRIVE CAREFULL.

HAVE ISSUE WHERE I AM RECEIVING A SHIFT TO PARK MESSAGE AND MY VEHICLE IS IN A MODE AS IF IT'S NOT IN PARK. I HAVE TO PULL FORWARD AND SHIFT CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK UNTIL IT TURNS OFF. OTHERWISE IF I LEAVE IT AS IS, ITS AWHILE BEFORE IT TURNS, IM AFRAID IT WILL RUN MY BATTERY DOWN. IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. ALMOST LATE FOR WORK WAITING FOR IT TO TURN OFF AT TIMES. WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LOCK CAR WITH KEYLESS REMOTE EITHER WHEN IT'S LIKE THIS
