2019 CHEVROLET MALIBU HYBRID Complaints

Leaking oil cooler lines that had a customer satisfaction campaign but it’s over and now they are leaking.

One day when headed out of town I stopped and got gas immediately once getting back on the highway my dash lit up like a Christmas tree, driving became uncomfortable as it sputtered when trying to give gas. I looked up a couple of the dash warning lights and it alluded to emission problems. I take the truck to the mechanic and he says that a head is cracked and the cam shaft needs to be repaired. This issue came out of nowhere, no prior issues as far as over heating or any dash lights on.

Purchased new and service maintained. At 65,000 miles all warning lights came on and truck began to misfire and lost power.Was taken to a garage where it was determined to have bad lifters and camshaft. Warranty just expired and now it needs a new engine

Vehicle transmission harsh shift and failed to shift gears. Feels as though I’m pushed forward when accelerating. Harsh clunk coming from the transmission. Transmission flush done at the dealer. Was told transmission needed a new valve body, part was on backorder and there were 25 similar trucks ahead and waiting. Several transmission related codes have also come up. 58000 miles.

Transmission-Has always shuddered and hesitates when shifting. Problem seems to get worse. Dealer had no answer except try flushing transmission. I read this is an inherent problem.

Component/System Failure and Availability for Inspection: While driving at 70 miles per hour on the interstate, the vehicle suffered a complete loss of oil pressure. The engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle simultaneously stopped operating. The vehicle and its components are available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: This failure posed a severe risk to my safety and the safety of others. The sudden and complete loss of engine function at highway speed could easily have resulted in a serious accident. I was fortunate the incident occurred in an area that was not heavily populated at the time. Under different circumstances, this failure could have led to life-threatening consequences. Reproduction/Confirmation of the Problem: The issue has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center, but the nature of the failure was sudden, significant, and left the vehicle inoperable. Inspection by Others: The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives, but it remains available for review. Warning Lamps/Messages/Symptoms: The only indicator prior to the failure was the immediate illumination of the engine light as the oil pressure dropped. This warning appeared at the same moment the vehicle lost power and stopped operating, leaving no opportunity to respond before the vehicle was disabled. Numerous comments and complaints with the same issue. Cust Satisfaction N212326940, does it take someone getting injured or dying before this administration makes the compnay do the right thing?

When attempting to park the truck and shut the engine off, a message appears on the dash stating that I should "shift to park". I have already made the shift to park but the system will not allow the electrical system to shut down. A loud beeping begins, door locks remain open and inoperable, the vehicle is then unsecurable and the ignition remains open/on which in time will run the battery down. Disconnection from the battery will stop the drain on the battery for this particular event but will not cure the problem nor erase data that has sometime worked on complex computer controlled devices. I refuse to allow my wife to take the vehicle to park at any location for fear of her safety to secure or lock the vehicle and, in the event she would have to vacate the vehicle it would increase the possibility of theft of the truck. GM has recalled other makes of their products for the same problems which I understand was also reported to NHTSA and has also suffered litigation in the form of class action suits which was won by consumers in the states of Tennessee and Ohio. After consulting the dealership with the complaint, I was instructed that GM has not issued a recall for these trucks which experience the same problem as those they were required to recall and repair. The costs for such repair by the consumer is unreasonable and unwarranted by reasons that this is a manufacturing AND certainly a SAFETY problem for the consumer. Their disregard for safety and quality control has been demonstrated continually as research in this matter and other complaints of GM problems are and continue to be numerous. This vehicle is IS out of the normal warranty range. However, just as the problem with the brakes that suddenly failed just after the warranty expired on this vehicle which was also a major safety problem, extensive testing of GM safety performance is not a priority but rather they ship it out the door to consumers and just see what happens. Thanks you for your time. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM O
