I purchased the vehicle in 2021 . It was running fine at first but recently . been having alot of issues with the vehicle. When parking the vehicle and you put it in park it moves forward . also been having alot of tire blow outs one after another for the past 8 months . also sometimes it drives proper and at times it starts swerving . the ride gets bumpy. I already replaced the arm controls also aligned the car . i believe there mechanically defaulted. Also having issues with the exhaust . fuel sensor also was replaced . Codes P0411 keep popping up. Literally I have put more money then I paid for the car. financially has drained me. When called the manufacturer about recalls they said those recalls were expired .

Back in december of 2020, every time I stopped at a red light or brake (when coming to a stop in traffic) the car completely shuts off. I would get a warning that the car was in battery save mode and the stabilitrak light would come on. The morning of jan. 12, 2021, it happened while driving on the interstate 322. I blocked rush hour traffic for about 20 minutes before the car started back up. While this was happing nothing on the car worked. It blow out cool air and the radio and windows didn't work. This is a big problem and is very dangerous. Not just for me and my family but other drivers on the road. I did take the car to be serviced unfortunately, they could not find anything wrong with the car. Instead of resting on the break in traffic, we put the car in park. You can see how that can be problematic. In addition to that, now it sound like some sort of liquid is passing through when I come to a stop/park. Fast forward to what has lead me to filing a vehicle safety complaint, this evening my son was driving on us 22 when he called me in a panic because while driving a warning displayed on the dash engin power reduced, traction light and engine light came on simultaneously. The speed reduced to about 20 and would not accelerate. I told him to put on the hazard lights and pull over02 as soon as it was safe. He did as I said as I waited on the phone with him. He turned the car off and let it rest for about 5 minutes. The car started back up without any problems. The traction light went off but the check engine light is still on. He made it home without any more incidents. As I stated above you can see how this is a serious problem. I am learning that I am not the only one with a chevy malibu (2016 64,763 miles) with safety issues. This is unacceptable. I hope that no one has to lose their life before action is taking. They need to recall and give a refund.

2018 chevy malibu. First started with corroded wires under the car which has lead to the USB port melting my cellphone charger which was fixed but after that the AC/heater only would blow out the defroster that got fixed. Car had about 20,000 miles. My car had a recall for the ECM module needed updated but auto nation said it didn't need to be updated after getting my car back it wouldn't start I would have to lock it unlock it open the door a few times and then it would start, so my battery got fried because something was draining it paid 200$ for a new one because auto nation said they didn't touch the car because it didn't need an update but what gets me is they had to plug into it to find out it didn't need an update, then the car started saying (shifter to park) got gm corporate involved and they made an appointment 1/13/2020 at chapman for me to take my car in to figure out that I needed a new wiring harness from the shifter to the transmission and they updated the ECM module but yet auto nation said it didn't need the update, so basically the auto nation doesn't want to take responsibility for the car messing up. I sat at auto nation for 45 minutes and they didn't touch my car. Something isn't right and no one wants to take responsibility. Yesterday I picked my car up from chapman 1/27/2020, they replaced the wiring harness from the shifter to the transmission, today 1/28/2020 I'm getting the same message 'shift to park'. I'm getting tired of the run around with brittany and having 3-4 other people call that doesn't know the situation and don't know what to do with this situation. So now the miles are at 59,000 miles no warranty. This isn't a reliable car. Gm said is our fault why this happen that is what taylor the advisor told us today 2/3/2020. Still having the same issue with the park to shift as of 11/24/2020.
