I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH MY CAR SLOWLY BUT SURELY. FIRST MY SOLENOID ROCKET WENT BAD AFTER A 1YR OF PURCHASING THE CAR THAT CAME WITH 40,000 MILES. A YEAR AFTER THAT I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS ONE DAY, PULLED OUT OF A STRIP MALL AND MY CAR STARTED LIGHTLY SHAKING FOR A MINUTE TIL IT CAME TO A STOP AND WOULDN'T START. IVE CALLED MY INSURANCE PROVIDER FOR ROAD ASSISTANCE AND GAS, THINKING I WAS LOW ON GAS THAN NORMAL THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM. I'VE RECEIVED GAS THEN PROCEEDED TO STARTING MY IGNITION 3 TO 5 TIMES, IT NEVER CRANK AND ULTIMATELY THE KEY STOP SWITCHING AND I COULD ONLY TURN THE KEY TO ON POSITION NOT START. DISPLAYING ON MY DASH THE MESSAGE STEERING/POWER DRIVE WITH CARE! GOTTEN MY CAR TOWED TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME MY FUEL PUMPS WERE BAD BECAUSE OF SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER FOUND IN THE TANK SYSTEM, THAT I NEEDED TO PURCHASE TWO FUEL PUMPS AND 4 STARTERS FOR HIM TO COMPLETE THE JOB. NO LONGER THAN 5 TIL 6 MONTHS AFTER COMPLETION OF THE LAST REPAIR IM NOW EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AGAIN A MESSAGE ON MY DASH DISPLAYING STEERING/POWER DRIVE WITH CARE! ONCE I SHIFTED MY GEAR IN DRIVE WHILE MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKES, THE LIGHT OF THE GEAR SWITCHES KEPT JUMPING BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY AS IF THE GEARS WERE BEING SHIFTED MANUAL AND THE CAR MOVED LIKED IT WAS RESPONDING TO THE RAPID GEAR CHANGING AS WELL LUCKY I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES DURING THAT INCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR SEEMED TO SWITCHED GEAR, IN MID DRIVE ON AN EXPRESS WAY WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN INSTANTLY AS IF I PUMPED THE BRAKES. THAT HAPPENED FOR 30 SECS OR LESS THEN IT RESPONDED BACK TO THE INITIAL SHIFT IT WAS ORIGINALLY IN ON ITS OWN. AT TIMES MY CAR MOVES AND JERKS FORWARD WHEN I SHIFT MY CAR IN REVERSE. STILL ONGOING EVERY SO OFTEN MY CAR MOVES AND JERKS FORWARD MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE SHIFTING INTO GEAR TIL THIS DAY.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO THE SPEED LIMIT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR DOESN'T PICK UP SPEED AS IT SHOULD. DRIVER HAS TO PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO EVEN GET UP TO SPEED. AND ONCE CAR IS UP TO SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE EVEN WITH NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS INSTALLED ON JULY 27, 2019 THE CAR TENDS TO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE EVEN MORE INSTEAD OF STOPPING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE I'VE GOTTEN THE CAR IN MARCH 2018 PLUS WHEN THE AUTO-STOP IS INITIATED THE CAR ACTUALLY TURNS COMPLETELY OFF TURNING THE RADIO OFF BUT ONCE THE BRAKE IS RELEASED IT THEN RESTARTS. A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED ON MARCH 8, 2019.

2014 Chevy Malibu has a start/ stop feature that doesn't work. When stopping the car shuts off completely and does not start back up. I have to put my emergency lights on, put the car in park try to start again, it doesn't restart , I have to try a couple of times. It has cut off on me at traffic lights, getting off highway ramps. THIS IS NOT SAFE!! I've taken it to two Chevy dealers & no one can pin point or address this problem.

2014 Malibu lt with the auto stop issues. My auxiliary batter was replaced and everything was good until my engine light came on can’t even remember exactly but the code was for the rocker arm control valve and oil pressure sensor. I replaced vvt solenoid also the intake and exhaust solenoid. Shortly after that, maybe 2 months or so after was when the auto stop started having issues. After the suto stop is engaged and my foot comes off the brake, it fails to restart after two failed attempts. I’ll manually restart it and it might start right away but sometimes wont start until the 2nd or 3rd try

My car shut down while behind someone at a traffic light, I had to park car, take key out ignition and but back in then drive. The dealership said I needed new batteries in less than 24hrs and less than 30 miles driven car was doing the same thing. Now sane dealership is saying need a transmission without explanation on what is actually going on. After reading several messages boards it appears this is not an uncommon thing in Chevrolet vehicles with the stop start feature enabled

The HVAC system is not functioning. In July of 2021, the air conditioner would not turn off at all. The car cannot be driven at all if it is cold outside and the windows frost over as you cannot turn on the heater to defrost them. Even if they aren't frosted over, it's too cold now to drive with the air conditioner on. There was a recall with other 2014 Chevy Malibu's, but not for my car, but it is the same problem as the other recall. It is available for inspection. I called GM and they were not helpful at all. No warning lamps or messages prior to the problem. Can take to a dealership when the weather is warm enough. Had to disengage the blower motor.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW, ONCE FOR MY WIFE AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING. BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE DISPLAY SHOWED REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND THE VEHICLE DE-RATED AND SLOWED AUTOMATICALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED AND AFTER CONNECTING A CODE READER TO THE OBD AND CODE P2138 WAS LOGGED WHICH IS POTENTIALLY A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR/ FOOT GAS PEDAL. I REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CLEARED THE STORED CODE AND A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE VEHICLE AGAIN WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND DE-RATED ON HIGHWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SAME CODE P2138 WAS LOGGED INDICATING VOLTAGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APP SENSOR 1 AND APP SENSOR 2 OF THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON LINE I FOUND THAT A GM SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR POTENTIAL MOISTURE INTRUSION OF THE CONNECTORS FROM THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR TO THE ECM. (SEE ATTACHED) IT SEEMS LIKE MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING MOISTURE IN THE CONNECTORS AS BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED WITHIN MINUTES OF TAKING THE VEHICLE THROUGH AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE TO DE-RATE AND SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH CARS FOLLOWING BEHIND AND HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE BY GM AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ISSUED.

FOR A FEW YEARS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED SOMETIMES IT WOULD STUTTER OR THROTTLE AND SURGE WHILE DRIVING, BUT EVERY TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM. NOW THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM I BELIEVE IS ERROR CODE P16D0, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART THAT IS MENTIONED IN THIS CODE. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD COMPENSATE VEHICLE PURCHASERS WHO HAVE RUN INTO THIS ISSUE.
