What 905 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu Eco

VEHICLE IS STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING, THEN WHEN SHUTS OFF IT WILL NOT START BACK UP. FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, WORKED GREAT FOR 1 WHOLE DAY THEN DID THE SAME THING, LEFT ME STRANDED. FUSE BOX WAS THEN REPLACED. RAN GREAT AGAIN UNTIL RECENTLY IT STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY STREET CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE HIT. PINS IN THE FUSE BOX WERE REPLACED, BUT I'M STILL HAVING ISSUES, IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE FUSEBOX WIRING ITSELF, BECAUSE I'M ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THINGS RAN OFF OF THAT FUSE BOX! THIS GETTING RIDICULOUS I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 4 MONTHS AND IT'S BEEN THE WORST CAR YET I'VE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE LEAVE ME STRANDED. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED

WHILE TRANSPORTING SCHOOL AGED PASSENGERS IN MY CAR DURING THE HEAVY MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY CAR STARTING DECELERATING WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF PRIOR WARNING SIGNS. NO ICON LIGHTS (I.E. CHECK ENGINE, BATTERY, ETC.) ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON TO INDICATE THAT THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM. THIS WAS SCARY. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER, MY CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. WE FELT THE VIOLENT VIBRATIONS AS THE ONCOMING CARS SPED PAST US ON THE INTERSTATE AS WE SAT FOR TEN MINUTES TRYING TO RESTART MY CAR. MY CAR WOULD TRY TO START, BUT IT WAS NOT GETTING THE NEED FUEL EVEN THOUGH I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. I TRIED PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PETAL TO ASSIST, BUT IT DID NOT WORK. EVENTUALLY, MY CAR STARTED AND WE MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT MY CAR CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO A REPARABLE LICENSED MECHANIC BUSINESS, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT THROWING ANY CODES. NO REPAIR WORK COULD BE DONE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I DRIVEN IT A FEW HOURS AGO. IT DID THE SAME THING. AGAIN, NO ICONS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. AFTER IT STARTED, I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOP. I HAD MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED. THIS WAS EXTREMELY COSTLY. MY CAR WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. MY CAR WOULD NOT START EVEN THOUGH I WAS GIVING IT FUEL. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE LINE LEADING TO THE FUEL TANK. THE LINE WAS CUT WHERE THE HOLE WAS LOCATED AND REPLACED. MY CAR WORKED FOR A WEEK BEFORE THE PROBLEM RECURRED. I HAD MY CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEMS WERE THE FUSE BLOCK, THE WIRE HARNESS, AND THAT A LINE HAD BURNED OVER THE FUEL PUMP OR TANK. NOT ONLY IS THIS EXPENSIVE, BUT FIRE AND GAS IS SCARY. HOPEFULLY, MY CAR WILL BE FINALLY REPAIRED. *TR
