2017 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

INDICATOR LIGHT REPEATEDLY COMES AND SAYS, PLEASE SHIFT VEHICLE INTO PARK. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK. I WILL HAVE BEEN PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY ALREADY IN PARK MODE, I WILL HAVE TO KEEP STARTING AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RECOGNIZE IT IS ALREADY SHIFTED GEARS INTO THE PARK POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 6 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN THE LAST 2 YEARS

SHIFT TO PARK LIGHT WOULD DISPLAY ON THE CONTROL PANEL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT CUT OFF COMPLETELY.. THIS ISSUE BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY AND FINALLY BECAME CONSTANT. DIAGNOSTICS FOUND INTERNAL FAULT IN THE SHIFT CONTROL. SHIFT CONTROL WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED AT A COST OF $394.77 BY WOODALL CHEVROLET IN DANVILLE, VIRGINIA

CAR SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING-THE CAR GOES DEAD DE-ENERGIZED COMPLETELY. ALL CONTROLS WOULD NOT WORK JUST LOCKED UP ON ME. I HAD TO HAVE THE UNIT TOWED TWICE, WE SWITCHED THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB AND THE CAR ENDED UP STARTING, HOWEVER 2 WEEKS LATER IT DIED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING, I NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT AGAIN!! 3 TIMES THE CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT AND COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING!! THIS HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF MAL-FUNCTION OR RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE LEFT MOST LANE OF A TOLLWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE CAR WAS AT A STOP AND SUDDENLY LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING OR WARNING LIGHTS. NOTHING WORKED INCLUDING HAZARD LIGHTS. ATTEMPTS TO JUMP START THE CAR WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A SAFE PLACE. AFTER THAT THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. NO ERROR LIGHTS OR ANY VISIBLE SIGNS THAT SOMETHING WAS EVER WRONG. BATTERY WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND FUEL WAS 1/3 TANK.

WHEN EXITING OFF THE FREEWAY TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE CAR. BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOLID MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP OR EVEN SLOW THE CAR DOWN. ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND WHEN DIAGNOSED, THE FOLLOWING CODES APPEAR: BRAKE BOOSTER PRESSURE SENSOR, WORN/DAMAGED VACUUM LINES, CORRODED/DAMAGED CONNECTOR, DAMAGE/FAULTY WIRING, DEFECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER, DEFECTIVE PCM.

MY MALIBU WILL SHUT OFF AFTER ATEMPTS TO RESTART WHEN IN AUTO STOP. AT FIRST IT WOULD CUT OFF BUT RESTART. AS TIME WENT ON IT WOULD GO TOTAL BLACK NO LIGHTS NO ONSTAR CAN NOT PUT IN GEAR. SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER THEY CAN NOT MAKE IT DO IT AND THERE IS NO CODE THERE IS NOTHING BUT BLACK. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME IT WILL START AGAIN SOMETIMES 20 MINUTES SOMETIMES AN HOUR. NEVER DOES IT AT THE DEALER.

I AM GETTING A MESSAGE 'SHIFT TO PARK'. THE MESSAGE IS INTERMITTENT. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR WEEKS. IT'S NOT REGISTERING THE CAR IS IN PARK. I HAVE TO RE-START CAR TO GET IT IN PARK

TWICE THIS WEEK AS I WOULD COME TO A STOP LIGHT A NOTIFICATION WOULD COME UP IN THE DASHBOARD SAYING SOMETHING REGARDING THE STEERING ASSIST AND ALL OF MY LIGHTS WOULD COME ON INSIDE THE DASHBOARD THEN THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT CAUSES IT SO TURN BACK ON BUT I WOULD TURN IT ON AND OFF AND THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES IT WOULD JUST CLICK THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'LL CRANK BACK UP. I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A CHILE SO THIS IS VERY CONCERNING FOR ME.

SHIFTER MALFUNCTIONS. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF IT CLAIMS IT'S IN PARK BUT THEN GIVES A SAFETY NOTICE THAT YOU NEED TO SHIFT TO PARK
