2019 CHEVROLET MALIBU HYBRID Complaints

Power Train available for inspection upon request? Truck came to a full stop while trying too just slow down to merge in to left turn lane, tried to move truck into turn lane but truck struggled to move finally after several attempts the truck moved just enough to get it in our cul-de-sac and then the truck would not move forward or backward. husband had to set in truck to wait on the tow truck to keep traffic from running in to truck, had truck towed to Mark Allen Dealership Mark Allen Chevrolet Dealership was unable to reproduce the Problem by driving truck several days Mark Allen Dealership can better answer this question, I have only taken it to Mark Allen Dealership No warning signs of any kind I do not understand why we have not received a recall on our truck for the transmission locking up unexpectedly like others have been recalled for

Vehicle power steering went out while driving as I almost crashed through the corner. My anti-skid light came on on the dash along with a message saying service power steering drive with care and a message saying service ESC. Upon further investigation, it appears the ground strap connecting the frame to the passenger side wheel well is corroded camming electrical problems with the power steering, etc. Apparently my Vin number does not qualify for replacement on my 2019 truck even though it’s still in their warranty Chevy should replace these straps for free. The dealer wants to charge $300 for a diagnostic fee in around $300 for another repair. However mine is under warranty, but I feel like I should not have to pay a diagnostic fee. It should be covered as a recall. I have attached pictures of the codes from the dealership computer.

Driving down road Truck quit, no warning. Left granddaughter stranded on road. Towed to gm dealership. Diagnosis was complete engine failure. Vehicle is there now waiting for decision to repair.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH on the highway, the vehicle started vibrating abnormally. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) warning light was illuminated. The vehicle remained operable, but the vibration remained constant. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Driving my truck and I suddenly got a warning on my dashboard that said, "Low Oil Pressure. Turn Engine Off." I pulled over immediately, shut off the the engine and called for a tow. Dealership called to let me know the engine was seized and would cost $22,270 to repair. Looking online I found that Chevy had released a Customer Service Program (CSP) detailing that the oil coolant lines in 2019 Silverado 1500 could have a weak / defective crimp holding the oil coolant line onto the connector and could separate causing catastrophic oil loss. It is also stated in the CSP that cold weather makes the issue more likely. I have tried getting GM to cover the repair since they knew about the issue and never contacted me to make the fix. GM is maintaining that they did nothing wrong and that my VIN is not listed as one of the vehicles in need of repair. This, despite the acknowledgement of the CSP and that the CSP "is for the dealerships." Which I pointed out the correction listed was for me to have the oil lines replaced and that never happened. I also pointed out as they said this wouldn't have been listined on my VIN because it was for dealerships and yet no one: not GM, not the dealership I bought the truck from, nor the dealership that regularly serviced my truck mentioned the oil line issue to me.

I’d like to report a serious, ongoing safety concern with my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado (5.3 V8 53,028 mi) since Dec 2025. Over the last 4 months, I have experienced at least 20 engine failures/loss of power, with no engine light illuminated after restarting truck. These failures result in a complete loss of power, including steering and braking, posing a significant risk of a crash. Chevy said it would be hard to diagnose with no engine warning light on. Feb 24th, engine failure, warning light stayed on and towed truck to Chevy. Truck on standby, repaired Mar 10th, replacing 2 oxygen sensors per Diagnostics. Picked it up on March 11th, but engine shutdown again the same day and 4 additional failures while driving in my neighborhood, making the truck undrivable. I reached out to Chevy service supervisor, Juliana, but have received no response for the last 10 days. I urge NHTSA to investigate this defect as it poses a severe safety risk. Thank you for your urgent attention.

Oil cooler lines are leaking oil. A known GM issue with many owner complaints online. Transmission issues. Motor issues. electrical issues. brake issues. These particular trucks have many issues and nobody is taking responsibility for the issues.

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated on three occasions while driving at various speeds, there was a clunking or clicking sound coming from the engine compartment, before the vehicle lost power. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed with engine rod bearing failure. The contact was informed that the rod bearings and engine block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and was taken to the residence and parked. Less than a week later, the vehicle was taken back to the same dealer for the repairs. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred approximately five months later. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed with an exhaust manifold leak. The contact was informed that the exhaust manifold needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred approximately two months later. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

I am reporting a catastrophic internal engine failure in a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 at 87,600 miles. Prior to this event, there were NO warning lights or symptoms. While traveling alone during the holiday on a remote, one-lane road with no shoulder, the vehicle suddenly suffered a loss of power. Every warning light on the dashboard illuminated at once, followed by shaking, misfiring, and loud knocking from the engine. Because I was on a one-lane road with no place to pull over, this created an immediate safety hazard for me and oncoming traffic. I had the car towed to the dealership ( where I bought the truck) confirmed the failure was a collapsed lifter and scored camshaft (which i found out to be a known design flaw in the 5.3L DFM engine). The dealer said it was not under warranty. I felt held over a barrel by the dealership; they initially provided an inflated quote and told me it would cost approximately $1,200, not including tax and shop fees, just to put the engine back together if I wanted to tow it elsewhere for a second opinion. I was forced to pay over $8,395 under protest just to regain use of my primary vehicle after 42 days of downtime. Upon completion, the dealer provided a "Lifetime Warranty" on the replacement parts. This is a tacit admission that these components were never intended to fail during the life of the vehicle. GM refuses to include this vehicle in its coverage list, treating a dangerous engine stall as a simple "out of warranty" repair. This is a systemic safety defect that requires a mandatory recall expansion before it results in a terrible accident. My understanding is that a Class Action lawsuit, Harrison vs. General Motors, for this same thing, but they say my car is not in it, i should have been put on notice for this so I could protect myself.
