What 720 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu Hev

AT LEAST TWICE A DAY, WHILE DRIVING, I'LL RANDOMLY GET A MESSAGE ON MY MESSAGE BOARD STATING 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' AND THEN MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN. I'M UNABLE TO SPEED UP, MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE TO FIND A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAIT ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN RESTART IT. ONCE I RESTART IT I CAN DRIVE BUT MY ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I GOT IT FROM BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT IT'S JUST A SENSOR.

WHILE DROPPING OFF MY CHILDREN AT SCHOOL THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WENT INTO AUTO STOP. WHEN RELEASING THE PEDDLE SO THE CAR COULD TURN BACK ON THE WHOLE DASH BOARD AND THE RADIO SCREEN COMPLETELY CUT OFF AND WHEN THE CAR TURNED OFF IT ALL SWITCHED BACK ON. THE DASH SCREEN FLAGGED AND SAID STEERING ASSISTANT IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE. THIS REPEATEDLY HAPPENDED ANOTHER TWO TIMES EVERYTIME I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER THE THIRD TIME THE CAR DID NOT TURN OFF AT ALL. IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD THE ERROR MESSAGE COME ON WHEN THE CAR WOULD COME TO A STOP AND THE CAR WOULD TURN BACK ON BUT I AM BEGINNING TO BECOME VERY WORRIED BECAUSE NOW THE WHOLE DASH BOARD AND RADIO ARE TURNING OFF. I WAS ON A REGULAR CITY STREET BUT AM WORRIED WHEN I RETURN TO WORK AFTER MY VACATION I WILL GET STRANDED. I AM ATTACHING SCREENSHOTS OF A VIDEO I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE ON THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME. THE TIME IS ATTACHED ALSO.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LAST NIGHT, (02-26-2019) MY VEHICLE DETECTED AN ISSUE THAT TRIGGERED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT ALSO FLASHED A MESSAGE THAT STATED, "ENGINE REDUCED POWER" AND IT WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AT THAT POINT. I TRIED PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR MULTIPLE TIMES HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IN ORDER TO GET IT TO MOVE AGAIN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON SINCE THEN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO FROM THE CLAY COOLEY CHEVROLET DEALER IN DALLAS TEXAS. WHEN I CALLED THEM THIS MORNING I WAS TOLD BY A SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT MULTIPLE CUSTOMERS HAVE BROUGHT THEIR CARS IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS AN ACCELERATOR ISSUE AND NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. SEEING THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THIS EXACT MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE, IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND TAKEN OFF OF THE MARKET UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BACK IN AUGUST 2018. IN JANUARY 2019 I NOTICED THAT MY HEADLINER, BACK SEAT, AND TRUNK WAS WET AND IT SMELL MILDEWY. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT HAVE ASTHMA AND I DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE FOR THEM. I TOOK IT BY THE DEALERSHIP AND SHOWED THEM THEY SAID THAT IT WAS COMING FROM THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WELL THEY ORDERED A PART FOR THE VEHICLE AND STATED THEATER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL ONGOING. I'VE BEEN BACK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY DID A WATER TEST AND CANNOT FIND THE SOLUTION. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER IT RAINED THE PROBLEM DOESN'T SHOW UP RIGHT WAY IT MAY TAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS OR A DAY. I'M AFRAID THAT IT MAY BE MOLD IN MY HEADLINER AND IN BETWEEN MY SEATS AND TRUNK FROM THE WATER BEING STATIONARY. I KNOW OF A ANOTHER CAR SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND WE ARE NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH THIS ISSUE.

BACK IN THE 1ST WEEK OF JANUARY 2019 I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 65 MPH THE CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SENT A MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD THAT SAID "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" AND THE CAR JERKED AND THE SPEED DRASTICALLY DROPPED FROM 65MPH TO ABOUT 20MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO DRIVE TO AN EMERGENCY LANE WHILE CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS WERE BEHIND ME AND ALMOST HIT ME. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, BUT I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY GAS THROTTLE PEDAL AND SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A TOTAL OF TWO WEEKS, DUE TO THEM BEING OUT ON THE PARTS. I PAID OVER 500 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER I WAS MERGING ON TO A HIGHWAY TO GO TO WORK AGAIN. AS I WAS MERGING ON THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THE MESSAGE SAYING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" CAME ON AGAIN. I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATED AND PULLED OVER. I THEN TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED LIT AND THE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE REMAINED ON THIS TIME. I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO A MAX OF 35 MPH THIS TIME. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND THIS TIME THEY STATED IT COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER AND SAID A OIL CHANGE MIGHT HELP. THE OIL WAS CHANGED ON THE VEHICLE AND THEN THE CALLED SAYING THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH WHEN THEY STARTED IT. THEY ALSO THEN STATED THAT THERE WAS CONDENSATION IN THE RADIATOR FROM THE COOLANT. THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR PARTS AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THERE ALMOST THREE WEEKS. TOTAL TIME IN THE SHOP WAS 5 WEEKS OUT OF 6 WEEKS.

ENGINE POWER REDUCES SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND REGULAR CITY STREETS. INITIALLY ISSUE HAPPENED ONCE A WEEK. NOW IT'S HAPPENING AND AVERAGE OF 3 TIMES PER DAY. WHEN ENGINE POWER REDUCES CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 30MPH WHICH IS DANGEROUS ON A HIGHWAY. THE MORE I USE THE CAR, THE MORE FREQUENT THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING. I WAS INFORMED BY HESSERT CHEVROLET THAT IT IS A CENSOR IN MY GAS PETAL AND THE GAS PETAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE GAS PETAL HAS BEEN ON "NATIONAL" BACK ORDER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY 2019

MY 2017 MALIBU HAS 87K MILES AND IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WHENEVER IT RAINS AND DAYS FOLLOWING THE TRACTION CONTROL & ENGINE LIGHT POPS ON, AT THE SAME TIME THE DASH DISPLAYS THE WORDS "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" (THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE HWY AT 70+MPH). THE ENGINE LOSSES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT POWER DROPPING MY VEHICLES SPEED DOWN TO AROUND 30-40MPH PUTTING NOT ONLY MY FAMILY AND MYSELF IN DANGER BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL. SO, I HAD MY VEHICLE ANALYZED AND IT THREW OUT THE CODE P2138 ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION ASSEMBLY. I USUALLY PULLED OVER TO THE SERVICE LANE TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF FOR A MINUTE OR SO RESTART THE ENGINE AND I'M ABLE TO GO ABOUT MY WAY (I LEARNED TO DO THAT BY READING COUNTLESS MSGS ONLINE OF OTHER MOTORIST COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON VEHICLES WITH MILEAGE AS LOW AS 2,600 MILES. I CALLED MUNDAY CHEVROLET IN HOUSTON TX TO BUY THE PART AND WAS TOLD I COULDN'T PURCHASE THE PART UNLESS THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED IT? THE PARTS GUY SEEMED TO INSTANTLY KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, TO SAY THE LEAST HE HAS HEARD OF THIS ISSUES QUITE OFTEN. I'M NOT BASHING CHEVY I'M ACTUALLY A FAN OF THE CHEVY MALIBU. I HAD A 2005 FOR 12YRS WITH LITTLE TO KNOW ISSUES WITH OVER 250K MILES. SO WHEN I DEEMED THE TIME WAS RIGHT I TRADED IN MY "05 FOR A '17 THINKING I WOULD GET THE SAME SATISFACTION BUT SAD TO SAY THIS ISSUE HAS SPOILED THAT FOR ME BY PUTTING MY FAMILY, OTHER DRIVERS, AND MYSELF IN HARMS WAY. ON MY DAILY COMMUTE I SEE SO MANY OF THESE 2016 AND NEWER MALIBU'S ON THE ROAD AND I BEGIN WONDERING IS THIS THE NEXT TRAGEDY IN THE MAKING ON OUR US HIGHWAYS??? MY WIFE'S 2010 GLK 350 MERCEDES WAS INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL, NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT WAS A NERVOUS TIME FOR US. WELL THANKS FOR LETTING ME EXPRESS MY THOUGHTS ON THIS ISSUE. I HOPE & PRAY THAT THIS DOESN'T TAKE AN INNOCENT LIFE TO BE LOSS IN ORDER FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. GOD BLESS!

ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET MALIBU 2017 WITH 60K MILES. I AM RIGHT AROUND THE TIME WHERE MY WARRANTY WOULD BE OVER, AND I HAVE HAVING ISSUES WITH A CAR THAT I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 90-95% OF THE VEHICLES LIFE. MY CAR IS CUTTING THE POWER TO THE ENGINE AT RANDOM TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND THE SAME PERCENTAGE OF TIMES THAT I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR IN TOTAL. I'VE HAD TO MOVE OVER TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE, AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN. IT WOULD POWER BACK UP, AND TYPICALLY I WOULD BE OK, BUT THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON UNTIL THE CAR SITS FOR A WHILE, AND THEN GO AWAY. THEN I WOULD DRIVE SEEMINGLY FINE, THEN BOOM, ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65-70, AND THE ENGINE IS REDUCING POWER, AND I'M SCRAMBLING TO GET OVER. I AM TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH HAS BEEN THE ONLY MECHANIC TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. I DID RECEIVE NEW TIRES FROM ANOTHER PLACE, BUT ALL OTHER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN WITH MY DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AND THIS IS A JOKE BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY THREADS EXPLAINING WHAT COULD BE THE ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE A FOLLOW UP ON HOW MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY DEALERSHIP WENT. WHEN I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE LOCATION, THEY SEEMED TO BE EXTREMELY FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING. IT WAS STRANGE THAT I COULDN'T GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER EITHER WAY, AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT OF SOME KIND. NOT ONLY THAT, I'VE BEEN PUT IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN BAD WEATHER TRYING TO MANAGE, AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS I CAN, A WAY TO GET OVER TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE(SHOULDER). WHEN I PRESS MY ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN EVERYONE AROUND ME IS GOING AT A VERY HIGH RATE IS SPEED IS AN ISSUE NEEDLESS TO SAY. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON A RECALL ISN'T ANNOUNCED FOR THIS ISSUE AND CHEVROLET HELD RESPONSIBLE.

TRUNK LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS. THE PLASTIC BETWEEN THE BACK WINDOW AND CEILING LETS WATER IN WHEN IT RAINS. IT ALLOWS MOISTURE TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE, WHICH MEANS IN THE WINTER ICE FORMS ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AS WELL AS THE OUTSIDE. RAIN AND MOISTURE GETTING INTO THE CAR HAS ALSO CAUSED A PROBLEM WITH THE BACK SPEAKERS NOT WORKING.

VEHICLE HAS "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MULTIPLE TIMES ERROR DISPLAYED AND WILL STALL ANYWHERE IN TRAFFIC CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THESE CARS ARE BEING SOLD PEOPLE ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS. YOU CAN STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECK WHAT IS WRONG BUT RISK POSSIBLY BEING INJURED BY ON COMING VEHICLES IN ON GOING TRAFFIC. THIS FEATURE SHOULD BE SOMETHING COVERED BY THE COMPANY FOR A BRAND NEW CAR THERE NO REASON BEHIND WHY THE CAR IS DOING THIS OR HOW THE DRIVER CAUSE THE CAR TO ENTER THIS LIMP MODE. I DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH AND THE CAR STALL COMPLETELY SENT ME INTO PANIC MODE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THIS, SOON WILL CAUSE THE DEATH OF A DRIVER AND THEIR FAMILY.
