When the vehicle comes to a stop at a light, the vehicle shuts off while in drive, however the lights & radio remain on in the car & the start button still shows the car as 'on'. The engine will not rev & the car will not move forward when in drive. When attempting to turn the car off then on again, the car will not restart without a jump. When attempting to cut the car on without a jump, the doors lock & unlock on their own and all of the lights in the car, along with the lights on the dash, flicker on & off and there is a clicking noise but the car doesn't cut on.

Within the last month my car has completely shut off while driving three separate times. First time I was driving and at a stop light on a hill the car completely shut down. I tried starting it multiple times . At first all the lights and radio will turn on and then minutes later that car started back up. Second time I was at another stop light and the car completely shut off again. Same thing started back up after about 2-3 min of re trying. Third time was yesterday I pulled into a parking lot and turned the car off and then went to re start it and nothing. After about five minutes it started back up again. Called the dealership and they said it can take hours to days to figure out the problem. They told me they would have to wait for the problem to happen again. I dont even want to drive my car anymore considering I could harm myself and potentially other people with this problem. They said there is no recall or bulletins on the problem. Doing research online looks like a good amount of people are having the same problem.

The car shuts off in traffic. I can be at a stop light and the car just shuts off. All the lights in car flash and vehicle just shuts off. The engine light stays on in vehicle. This has been happening everyday for about a month now.

I was driving on the highway, going 74, all the lights on the dashboard went on (regular lights, warning lights, everything) it lasted about 5-10 seconds and then went back to normal. Drove another two miles regaining speed to 74 and headlights wentout, all lights in the inside (dashboard, radio, climate control), and I had no power and quickly dropped speed. The car completely shut down while I was driving on the highway, in 5:00 rush hour traffic. I was able to pull over to the side of the road and I turned the key off. I waited a couple minutes and the car did startup and I was able to get off the highway. I took the back way home so I wouldn't be on the highway. I called the car dealership and brought it in the next day. They said they have not heard of this and have not been able to recreate the issue and diagnostics didn't show anything. I have seen a few other post on the internet with this happening on other malibu cars. The dealership is allowing us to "exchange" (for a fee) to get a different car since we just purchased this one a month ago. Hope it doesn't happen again to somebody else with this car.

The car stalls in traffic, losing all power. It doesn't start sometimes. Everytime I take it into the dealer the issue doesn't occur and they claim the computer is coming back clean. However, it dodent fo this all the time it can go weeks and drive just fine but at any given time will lose all power and shut off in the middle of traffic and done days take a very long time to start. It's very scary when your in traffic in the car shuts off then all the warning lights come on from stabilizer bar warning, to engine light. It's dangerous and scary with my child in the car at times on san diego highways. A car should not just shut off or take forever to start when everytime I take it to the dealer they claim the readings are fine. I also see I'm not the only one having this problem with this year and model. Gm chevrolet want be satisfied until someone is seriously hurt with this issue losing power while driving.
