As I'm driving down the road the car starts jerking and stalling and then just shuts off in the middle of the road. It acts like it's not getting any gas. I have replaced the fuel pump, oxygen sensor, and a host of other parts and it's still doing the same thing. I have taking it to the chevrolet dealership where I brought it from, they put it on the machine said it was a part that needed to be replaced I had the part replaced and it's still doing the same thing shutting off in the middle of the road. I have a 3 year that is always with me in the car and this is very dangerous. It has been going on since the beginning of march.

When driving car starts to jerk. Sometime it feels like a major jolt and other times it a slight jerking feeling. I've complained the 1st year I got the vehicle and then 2 years later I also complained about the same issue. When it was in for service problem was not duplicated nor any indication of of issues when the vehicle was checked by the dealership. No warning light indicating vehicle issue are present. This only happens when the vehicle is being driven. I don't feel safe in the vehicle and no one from the service department can tell me anything about whats going on. This really need to be resolved asap.

When cold going up hill and some times on level ground it jerks hard , like it's trying to go into another gear till warms up . Going up hill every day I drive it , it does it. It's been took to dealer and they can't fine anything what is causing it. No, codes is coming up . Driving up hills is mainly when it does it , first starting out from my house going up the mountains where I live then it warms up and don't do it but once and awhile. It's like it trying to go into another gear and hits hard with a jerk . When iam turning the curves and slow down then accelerate again is when it does it. Around 30 to 40 miles an hour.

At times, when I hit my brakes, the brake pedal will stick in the downward position and it will make a groaning sound. I have to take my foot and return the brake pedal to it's original position. This has happened numerous times, with passengers to assure me that the brakes were, in deed, making this noise and causing the car to jerk at times. I have had the car back to the dealership several times and they can not find the problem. Very interested in whether there is a recall, because my husband's silverado does the same thing and it was recalled. This has happened on numerous times and is always in a position of going down hill and in a curve. It has happened any where from 24 MPH to 40 MPH. In my comments, I tried to remember the first time this happened, but it is an estimate only.

Stopped at stop light. Upon taking off car would barely move. It jerks front to back. Check engine, ABS, traction light, service stabiltrak lights came on. Was able to pull into gas station close by. Turned car off. Waited a bit. Car turned on and drove off fine. Haven't been able to mock since. Had hooked to dialysis machine. Stated something about a vacuum, but then disappeared on machine.

I have a 2014 malibu that has around 86000 and as I was driving the car all of a sudden started jerking and my power locks were going up and down continuously along with a message that says "service power steering, drive with care." after I came to a stop, pulled over to tun off the ignition, my radio was still on even after I open the door with the keys out of the ingnition. I am extremely frustrated with this problem and I attached an image of the message. I really hope that gm has a resolution for this.
