2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

CAR REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT HAS BEEN SHIFTED INTO PARK, DESPITE HAVING BEEN PROPERLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. I RECEIVE THE ERROR MESSAGE "SHIFT VEHICLE INTO PARK" AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO MAKE IT GO AWAY. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT.

1ST PROBLEM MESSAGE POPS UP WHEN PARKING. MESSAGE READS SHIFT TO PARK EVEN WHEN SHIFTER IS IN PARK. WILL TURN OFF ENGINE BUT WILL NOT TURN OFF THE ACCESSORY. NEED TO SHIFT IN AND OUT OF PARK SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL MESSAGE DISAPPEARS AND ALLOWS TO TURN OFF. 2ND PROBLEM MESSAGE POPS UP NO REMOTE DETECTED PRESS BRAKE TO RESTART

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS LEAKING WATER ON THE REAR SEATS AND TRUNK. LOOKING ONLINE, THERE ARE OTHERS AFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE. THE OFFICIAL ANSWER FROM CHEVY IS THAT THE BOLTS BECOME LOSE OVERTIME. MY CAR HAS 40,000 MILES AND IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, SO GM WON'T FIX IT.

THE THIRD LIGHT HAS CAUSED A LEAKING PROBLEM INTO THE TRUNK. COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING WAS DONE. IT RUINED THE HEADLINER AND THE COVER THAT GOES OER SPARE TIRE.

I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC BECAUSE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAR WASN'T ACTING WEIRD OR ANYTHING. THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING MULTIFUNCTION POWER SUPPLY CONVERTER, IT HAS INTERNAL ISSUES I APPROVED THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING IS FINE EVERYTHING CLEARED. THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE STARTED TO GO CRAZY I STATED THAT ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN CAR LOUNGES FORWARD AND THAT THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAR THEN JUST STOPS I HAD TO RESTART IT. THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING BATTERY I APPROVED .THE SAME DAY I PICKED UP MY CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWED BUT THE NEXT DAY CAR STARTED TO BE IT SELF AGAIN SO I KEPT IT DIDN'T TAKE IT IN.A WEEK LATER THE SAME SYMPTOMS CAR JOLTS FORWARD,IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS WHEN DRIVING AND CAR TURNS OFF COMPLETELY THIS TIME THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE I APPROVED. 30 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE MECHANICS, CAR HAS THE SAME EXACT PREVIOUS SYMPTOMS BUT NOW CAR WENT BEYOND CRAZY, CAR WAS ON DRIVE BUT WON'T ACCELERATE, BREAK, AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, DASH SAID (SERVICE STABILITRAK) (ICE POSSIBLE) IT HOT OUTSIDE. IT HAPPENS WHEN I GET OFF FREEWAYS, WHEN I'M DRIVING ON REGULAR STREETS: DOORS LOCKS AND UNLOCKS DASH ALWAYS SAY CHECK REAR DOOR LOCKS THE, CAR LUNGES FORWARD AND THEN CAR JUST STOPS AND WON'T GO I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF THEN ON AGAIN. JUST IMAGINE IF CAR COMPLETELY STOP IN A FREEWAY, I'M LUCKY THAT IT GIVES ME A WARNING WHEN I HEAR THE LOCKS GO CRAZY I PULL OVER I THEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT SLOWLY HOME AND ALL THE WAY HOME CAR JOLTS TOWARDS LOCKS ARE GOING CRAZY AND CAR STOPS FREQUENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREETS. THEN I'M ABLE TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANICS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO IT. GOES BACK TO NORMAL WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.

MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALL 17019-STOCHASTIC PRE-IGNITION (SPI) . MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED ON OR ABOUT 07/02/18 AT GUARANTEE CHEVROLET IN THE CITY OF SANTANA, CA MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME ON OR ABOUT 07/03/18. THIS CONDITION HAS DAMAGED MY ENGINE/MOTOR WHICH IS IN FACT A RESULT FROM THE SPI CONDITION, THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGES FROM THIS NARRATIVE. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE GWM SYSTEM TO BE LIABLE FOR ALL REPAIRS PERTAINING TO 17019-SPI RECALL.

THE FLOOR UNDER DRIVER'S SEAT IS SOFT. WHEN I PLACE MY FOOT DOWN ON THE FLOOR IT SINKS IN.AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT STARTED OUT WITH A SMALL CRACK NOW IT IS BROKEN.

THE THIRD LIGHT HAS CAUSED A LEAKING PROBLEM INTO THE TRUNK. COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING WAS DONE. IT RUINED THE HEADLINER AND THE COVER THAT GOES OER SPARE TIRE.

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, ON THE DASH BOARD IT SAY PUT CAR IN PARK TO TURN OFF. WHEN MY CAR IS IN PARK. ALSO WHEN I GO TO START MY CAR IT TAKE A WHILE FOR IT TO START. IT WILL SAY SERIVCE STABLILITY. MY AIR BAG LIGHTS CAME ON. I ALSO HAVE SEEN THAT ALOT OF CUSTOMERS THAT HAS THE SAME CAR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM

AROUND 50,000 MILES SENSOR ON THROTTLE PEDAL WENT OUT AND CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP ACCELERATING WITH MY KID IN THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DRIVING. NEXT AT 74,000 MY 2016 CHEVY MALIBU LT 1.5L TURBO HAS A CRACKED PISTON. I BELIEVE RECALL 17019 STOCHASTIC PRE EGNITION SHOULD BE LINKED TO MY VIN. FIRST SERVICE STABILITRAK COMES ON WITH A GLOWING ICON SHOWING A CAR WITH WAVY LINES UNDERNEATH IT. THEN CODE READING P0301 (CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE) WENT THROUGH THE CHECKLIST, SPARK PLUGS, COILS, FUEL INJECTORS ALL FINE. CHECKED THE COMPRESSION OF CYLINDER ONE AND IT'S GONE. CYLINDER ONE HAS NO COMPRESSION IT DOESN'T WORK. I SAW THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 1.5L TURBO GM TRIED PERFECTING AND STILL DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX BESIDES REPLACING THE PISTON OR MOTOR. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING MY CAR. ONCE I NOTICED THE STABILITRAK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT I WENT HOME AND LEFT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE IN HOPES THERE WASN'T DAMAGE. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT GM KNEW THIS WHOLE TIME AND NO ONE TOLD ME. THEIR TRYING TO SAY MY CAR ISN'T ON THAT RECALL BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT MY CAR IS EXACTLY THAT 17019 STOCHASTIC PRE EGNITION RECALL.
