I WAS DRIVING 35MPH, AND SUDDENLY THE CAR LOST POWER, AND I WAS GOING 10 MPH. A MESSAGE CAME ON SAYING REDUCED POWER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR, RED LION CHEVY. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, AND TOLD ME I BETTER GET THE CAR OFF THE LOT. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IF I WAS ON A HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER BY A TRUCK. I ALREADY HAD A CRACKED PISTON REPAIRED AND THE CAR NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. ON STAR SENT ME AN EMAIL STATING THAT I HAVE AN ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND TO GET THE CAR SERVICED.THE SALES MANAGER RIVERA JUST WANTED TO SELL ME A NEW CAR, AND THEY WOULDN'T DO ANY FURTHER TESTING ON MY VEHICLE.

AT CRUISING SPEED ON THE FREEWAY, APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CAR JERKED AND LOST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE WARNING "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" DISPLAYED ON THE INFORMATION PANEL. THE CAR CONTINUED TO LOSE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF POWER UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF A SEPARATED TOLL LANE AND TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, IT WAS ABLE TO AGAIN GAIN POWER. OVER SEVERAL DAYS, THE CAR WOULD GO IN AND OUT OF THIS MODE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND ON MULTIPLE TIMES, IT AGAIN LOST POWER ON THE FREEWAY, LOST SIGNIFICANT POWER WHILE DRIVING UP HILLS (DROPPING FROM A SPEED OF 55 MPH TO BELOW 20 MPH WITHIN A MINUTE). CARS BEHIND MY CAR HAD TO MOVE OUT FROM BEHIND ME AND I HAD TO PULL IN TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO LET OTHER CARS PASS ME AS I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A LEGAL SPEED. THIS PROBLEM WAS ASSESSED BY QUIRK CHEVROLET AND DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IN THE GAS PEDAL AND THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. QUIRK IDENTIFIED THAT THESE COMPONENTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NECESSARY COMPONENTS IN THE POWERTRAIN) AND THAT THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THESE WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $520 PLUS THE COST OF A RENTAL CAR. THEY ALSO WERE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE AN AVAILABLE GAS PEDAL/THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ASSEMBLY BY THE END OF THE BUSINESS DAY AND WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A TIMEFRAME FOR THE LENGTH OF TIME THIS WOULD TAKE TO COMPLETE BECAUSE OF THIS MISSING PART. THEY ALSO IDENTIFIED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RESET THE ECM UNTIL THIS SENSOR ASSEMBLY WAS COMPLETED.

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND THE CODE IS P2138. THIS IS AN ACCELERATOR ISSUE AND WHEN THE ISSUE COMES ABOUT, THE CAR ENGINE REDUCES AND MY CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PART AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL VERSUS ME HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS AND THE PART SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AS THIS IS DANGEROUS. IF I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENS, I MYSELF OR OTHERS COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT IF NOT KILLED. THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AND I NEED MY VEHICLE AND AM SCARED TO KEEP DRIVING IT WITHOUT IT BEING FIXED. OF COURSE, MY VEHICLE IS OVER MILEAGE WARRANTY, THEREFORE I NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THERE IS NO WARNING SIGN THAT THE CAR IS GOING TO REV DOWN TO 20 MPH. CHEVROLET SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD EVEN CONSIDER REIMBURSEMENT OF ANY KIND WOULD BE TO HAVE THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP (WHICH IS $115 TO DIAGNOSE). THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC, THEREFORE IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHERE IT IS DIAGNOSED.

I HAVE A 2016 CHEVY MALIBU. AS I WAS DRIVING MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN A MESSAGE SAYING THAT MY ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED. I TOOK MY CAR TO A NEAR BY CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID THAT THE ISSUE WAS A FAILED ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALONE WITH SOME FAILED SENSORS. I SAW SEVERAL REVIEWS WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM IF NOT THE SAME. I WAS VERY SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. I BROUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND EVERY SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN HAVING NOTHING BUT ISSUES. I CALLED GM AND THEY OPENED A TICKET, SO HOPEFULLY I GET SOME FEEDBACK SAYING THAT IT IS SOMETHING THEY ARE RECALLING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.. UNTIL THEN I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A RENTAL. IF THEY DO NOT RECALL IT THEN I WILL BE PAYING OVER $1200 FOR REPAIRS.

I STARTED GETTING DIFFERENT MESSAGES AND LIGHTS ON MY DASH OVER TIME. THE FIRST TIME I GOT A SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHEN I WAS PARKED WITH THE CAR IDLING AND THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND CALLED THE DEALER. I TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND ASKED IF IT WAS OK TO DRIVE TO A LOT OR SHOULD I GET IT TOWED. THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE OK TO DRIVE IT. IT WAS TOO LATE IN THE EVENING TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO I WENT TO BED. I GOT UP THE NEXT MORNING AND GOT IN THE CAR AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING GREAT SO I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT MUST HAVE JUST BEEN A GLITCH OR SOMETHING AND THAT I WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE IT SINCE IT WAS RUNNING FINE NOW. CAR RAN FINE FOR MONTHS WITH NO ISSUES AFTER THAT THEN ONE DAY I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAYS ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND SERVICE STABILITRAK WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY. I PULLED INTO THE NEAREST AUTOPARTS STORE AND GOT THEM TO CHECK MY CODES WHICH CAME BACK WITH A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 1. AGAIN CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I COULD DRIVE IT IN SINCE IT WAS JUST A MISFIRE, THAT IT WOULD JUST RUN ROUGH. I STOPPED FOR FUEL ON MY WAY AND THE MESSAGE AND ENGINE LIGHT WERE GONE WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN. CALLED DEALER AGAIN THEY WERE CLUELESS AND SAID THEY COULDN'T REALLY DO MUCH IF THE ISSUE WASN'T THERE. RAN FINE FOR MONTHS AGAIN THEN GOT SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE AND BRAKES ACTED FUNNY AS I WAS PULLING INTO WORK. BY LUNCH TIME THE ISSUE WAS GONE AGAIN. COUPLE DAYS LATER, REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK, TURNED AROUND AND LIMPED IT HOME WHILE STOPPING AT PARTS STORE AND 11 CODES CAME BACK. I GOT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE A BROKEN PISTON IN CYLINDER 1 AND THEY COULDN'T REBUILD IT BUT THEY WOULD PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT FOR $9,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING 74, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT ON (REGULAR LIGHTS, WARNING LIGHTS, EVERYTHING) IT LASTED ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS AND THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL. DROVE ANOTHER TWO MILES REGAINING SPEED TO 74 AND HEADLIGHTS WENTOUT, ALL LIGHTS IN THE INSIDE (DASHBOARD, RADIO, CLIMATE CONTROL), AND I HAD NO POWER AND QUICKLY DROPPED SPEED. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IN 5:00 RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I TURNED THE KEY OFF. I WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND THE CAR DID STARTUP AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE BACK WAY HOME SO I WOULDN'T BE ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED THE CAR DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IT IN THE NEXT DAY. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND DIAGNOSTICS DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING. I HAVE SEEN A FEW OTHER POST ON THE INTERNET WITH THIS HAPPENING ON OTHER MALIBU CARS. THE DEALERSHIP IS ALLOWING US TO "EXCHANGE" (FOR A FEE) TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR SINCE WE JUST PURCHASED THIS ONE A MONTH AGO. HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TO SOMEBODY ELSE WITH THIS CAR.

AS SOON AS I STARTED THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON STATING THAT THE ENGINE'S EMISSION IS BEING REDUCED TO WHERE YOU CAN FEEL THAT THE SPEED OF THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN, BUT THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF A LITTLE WHILE LATER. THIS HAPPENED ON THIS PAST SUNDAY, NOW IT COMES ON AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT THE PAST YEAR AND THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. ITS LIKE EVERY 2-3 MONTHS THIS ISSUE OCCURS.

CAR HESITATES WHEN PUSHING ACCELERATOR AND BEGINS TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN ACCELERATES RAPIDLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND BECAUSE IT IS ONLY RANDOM WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT. THIS OCCURS WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, OR PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT INTO TRAFFIC. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A SMART TRANSMISSION BECAUSE ME AND MY WIFE HAVE DIFFERENT DRIVING HAPPENS. (WHICH DOESN'T SOUND REASONABLE) LAST TIME IT DID THIS WAS YESTERDAY AND IT SEEMS TO HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY.

MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALL 17019-STOCHASTIC PRE-IGNITION (SPI) . MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED ON OR ABOUT 07/02/18 AT GUARANTEE CHEVROLET IN THE CITY OF SANTANA, CA MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME ON OR ABOUT 07/03/18. THIS CONDITION HAS DAMAGED MY ENGINE/MOTOR WHICH IS IN FACT A RESULT FROM THE SPI CONDITION, THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGES FROM THIS NARRATIVE. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE GWM SYSTEM TO BE LIABLE FOR ALL REPAIRS PERTAINING TO 17019-SPI RECALL.

AROUND 50,000 MILES SENSOR ON THROTTLE PEDAL WENT OUT AND CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP ACCELERATING WITH MY KID IN THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DRIVING. NEXT AT 74,000 MY 2016 CHEVY MALIBU LT 1.5L TURBO HAS A CRACKED PISTON. I BELIEVE RECALL 17019 STOCHASTIC PRE EGNITION SHOULD BE LINKED TO MY VIN. FIRST SERVICE STABILITRAK COMES ON WITH A GLOWING ICON SHOWING A CAR WITH WAVY LINES UNDERNEATH IT. THEN CODE READING P0301 (CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE) WENT THROUGH THE CHECKLIST, SPARK PLUGS, COILS, FUEL INJECTORS ALL FINE. CHECKED THE COMPRESSION OF CYLINDER ONE AND IT'S GONE. CYLINDER ONE HAS NO COMPRESSION IT DOESN'T WORK. I SAW THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 1.5L TURBO GM TRIED PERFECTING AND STILL DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX BESIDES REPLACING THE PISTON OR MOTOR. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING MY CAR. ONCE I NOTICED THE STABILITRAK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT I WENT HOME AND LEFT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE IN HOPES THERE WASN'T DAMAGE. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT GM KNEW THIS WHOLE TIME AND NO ONE TOLD ME. THEIR TRYING TO SAY MY CAR ISN'T ON THAT RECALL BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT MY CAR IS EXACTLY THAT 17019 STOCHASTIC PRE EGNITION RECALL.

5/4/2018 TOOK THE CAR TO SERVICE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THEY REPROGRAMED THE HYBRID POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE 2 - PER A FACTORY SERVICE BULLETIN BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, LIGHT CAME BACK ON. 5/26/2018 - 100 DEGREES. CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 40 MPH ON CITY STREET. RESTARTED IN SOME KIND OF DEFAULT MODE WITHOUT EV COMPONENTS AFTER 30 MIN. NEXT DAY IT WORKED FINE. 8/12/2018 - 86 DEGREES. CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON CITY STREET GOING 30MPH. RESTARTED AND DROVE FINE BUT LATER THE SAME DAY AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND SHIFTING TO REVERSE THE CAR MOVED FORWARD, CAR WAS IN EV MODE. SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND CAR STILL MOVED FORWARD, STILL IN EV MODE. SHIFTED TO REVERSE AND NEUTRAL AGAIN THE CAR STILL MOVED FORWARD, STILL IN EV MODE. TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTARTED AND WORKED FINE, STILL IN EV MODE. 8/16/2018 - 85 DEGREES. CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING, RESTARTED AND WORKED. BUT LATER THAT DAY I STARTED THE CAR AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND THE CAR MOVED FORWARD, CAR IN EV MODE. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL BUT AT THE SAME MOMENT THE ENGINE STARTED AND I FELT AND HEARD A SHIFTING NOISE AND THE CAR WORKED FINE. 2ND APPOINTMENT WILL DEALER ON 8/20/16, APPEARS A COMMON FACTOR IS WARM DAYS WHEN I PARK THE CAR OUTSIDE IN THE SUN. NO MATTER WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE THERE IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY SYMPTOM OF A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND COULD BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM. THE NEXT STEP THE DEALER WILL DO IS REPLACE A WIRING HARNESS, AGAIN PER A SERVICE BULLETIN SO THE MANUFACTURER DOES KNOW OF A PROBLEM.
