Filed Nov 14, 2023 · Engine · TX

Bulletin 19-NA-122 that General Motors posted about my specific car having future engine issues happened to my car right after their mile limitation. They said due to my miles being pass the number and although I’m with in the 10 year window they cannot do anything for my car. I was driving in the high way using cruise control then my car just randomly slowed down on the highway, my stabilitrack sign came on and my check engine sign started to blink and my engine started to shake my car. Very dangerous and I was not notified about these issues a single time I took my car to the dealership when it was within the time frame.

My malibu only has 34k miles on it and is meticulously cared for. On august 10th, I went to start it. It would not start or turn on the lights. So I trickle charged it and 4 hours later when it finally turned on I had the battery checked. The battery is fine. However, the stabilitrac is not coming back on along with my cruise control and lane assist. The back up camera, back up camera lines, crash aversion sensors, and screen were not working properly for the majority of the 10th of august after the car came back on. The sreen has had issues in the past as well with not turning on along with showing the proper time, temperature, and more.

When I was resuming adaptive cruise control the vehicle took off after a semi tractor trailer that was in front of me; I had to brake hard to avoid from hitting the semi truck. I was traveling about 55 MPH at the time this incident happened & it has happened two more times after that initial incident. Then it stopped working and I had to take it in to the dealership. They said there was no recall on the vehicle & did a recalibration on the front camera & long range radar modules.
