2019 CHEVROLET MALIBU HYBRID- Ludlow, VT
On 6/4/2025 while driving my truck, I noticed smoke coming out of vents of the front passenger side of vehicle. I got out of truck and went to open passenger door to investigate and the engine ignited. A neighbor called 911 and the local fire department responded. I contacted my insurance company. They had the truck towed so their investigators could examine it. The cause was classified as indeterminate and the truck was declared a total loss. The truck had approximately 51,000 miles at the time of the incident and was well maintained, with new tires and no known mechanical issues or warning lights prior to the fire. The fire occurred while driving on a road seven miles from my home.

2019 CHEVROLET MALIBU HYBRID- Lake Orion, MI
While driving "No Oil pressure" alarm went off on my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado. I had to immediately pull off to the side of the road, upon inspection the Oil cooler line separated at the crimp joint. This is the exact failure mode as described in "N212326940 - Customer Satisfaction Engine Oil Cooler Lines Detaching from Crimp". I have my truck at a GM dealership and they said my VIN is not included on the TSB. I also contacted GM Customer Service and was told the same that my VIN was not effected by this issue. My failure is the same mode as the documented issue, it has to be related to part quality issue as described on N212326940. The GM dealership is charging me $2000 to replace the line.

2019 CHEVROLET MALIBU HYBRID- Elizabeth, WV
Component or system failed- Lifter in the 4th cylinder - 4 different times. Safety - Driving down the interstate, when the lifter goes out the truck slows down in limp mode and causes safety issues for myself and vehicles around me. Problem has been fixed 4 times, now waiting on a BRAND-NEW MOTOR that is on backorder for the foreseeable future. NO WARNINGS WHATSOEVER.

2019 CHEVROLET MALIBU HYBRID- Canby, OR
The vehicle, 2019 Silverado with 6.2 Liter engine only has 72,000 miles on it and when I was driving it, it slowed and went into a limp type mode. I could not go to speed. I had the vehicle towed to a Chevrolet Dealership, they indicated that the Camshaft is broken, at least one lifter and rod is bad. It is less expensive to replace engine. After research it appears this is a known issue and the manufacturer is not addressing it.
