Transmission occasionally shifts erratically, hard at times, hesitates and bucks .never had any vehicle in my life do this, even cars with known bad transmissions. The sudden downshifts cause the vehicle to suddenly propel forward, especially when cruising to slow down or while brake is depressed, causing an unsafe change in vehicle speed that requires sudden need to brake or increase brake pressure to avoid striking vehicle in front. Transmission also at times has an "engine miss" type jolt while at cruising speed on flat pavement 30-45mph that has at one time repeated for 3 minutes straight.. Majority of time transmission behaves normally and without incident and then suddenly goes nuts. Dealer did one powertrain software update that helped a little but with no codes or symptoms when they test-drive they can not find a problem.

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.
1st incident when applying the brake the vehicle would do a extreme pull to the right. 2nd incident 2/24/14 mile 2940 - transmission shuts down after exiting highway.
