2014 Chevrolet Malibu acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have been having problems with my 14 malibu every since I bought it certified pre-owned from the dealer. The car RPM will get stuck around 3000 if I'm cruising and press the brakes to decelerate which has caused me several time to have to pull to the side of off the road so that I don't hit anything. In order to make it stop I have to press brakes then press the gas to make the RPM act right. It has always had a bad jerk when I am driving and the car RPM is near or at a steady 2000 it would jerk until I speed up or slow down. I've taken the car to the shop several times and paid for diagnostic and diagnostic and still there was no good new all because they couldn't make the issue reoccur. My first experience with these issues was about a month after buying the car and has happened every since with my last occurrence being 08/13/2017. I am about ready to give up on chevy and change makes because they seem to not want to help at all with the issues I'm having.

First of all thanks the federal safety agency for recalling the brakes on this vehicle. Well another problem has arose with this vehicle. My daughter was driving this vehicle this morning. When she applied the brakes coming down hill she stated the vehicle slowed then sped up while pushing the brake pedal. So I then road tested the vehicle when I got home from work. Descending down the same hill I felt the vehicle speed increase while I had the brake pedal pressed down. It seems that the transmission is not helping the vehicle slow down at times.. Meaning the transmission is up shifting instead of down shifting to help slow the vehicle. This is definitely a safety concern. I did some research on this site and there is a tsb on this issue(vehicle speed control no. Pic-5652-b). I will have it looked at asap. Of course I already know day centennial service dept will say they cant duplicate my concern. I truly believe that this will be a safety recall.
I just purchased a 2014 malibu on 04- 22 for my daughter. Due to my daughter telling me that the brakes felt mushy in her car I decided to test drive it myself. While driving down my street at approx. 25mph with the brake slightly depressed, the transmission shifted unexpectedly and the engine seem to rev up. This made the vehicle that much harder to control and stop. This has to be looked into a.s.a.p. I do not want my daughter to continue driving this vehicle until there is a solution. Going to take this vehicle back to the dealership first thing monday.
