Vehicles cruise control was engaged when reaching and hill the cruise control sped up and as soon as it did I lost engine power completely it was not until I was able to safety make it to the side of the interstate coasting that I realized the engine had cut off. I then parked the vehicle turned off all electrical components and turned the ignition to the off position; and attempted to restart to engine switch resulted in nothing but the engine light coming on and the lights of the vehicle coming on but no firing of the engine or even a click from the starter at this point I was glad a had all my blankets and thing in the vehicle because in North Dakota and Montana its cold. After a few failed attempts at turning the key and nothing happening waiting 5mins in between I began calling my insurance company 10 more mins pass by and I"M on hold I decide to try the car again in which it fired right up the check engine light remained illuminated for about 2 days after the incident now it has disappeared from my dash lights my car goes in for repair next week to get engine heater installed and recalls taken care of however I don"T see what would cause the listed above issue to occur under any listed recalls but I am also not vehicle savvy.

While driving 50 mph in the passing lane my 2007 Malibu shut itself off. There was substantial traffic and I had to coast across the lanes to the side of the road with my 7 year old daughter in the car. I called 1-800-chevusa and was told that since my manufacturer warranty is up there isn't anything that could be done. After speaking to a supervisor my car was towed to the local Chevy dealership where it is still sitting now. My husband also spoke to someone at Chevy who told him that since the warranty is up and there is no recalls we were basically out of luck. My husband nicely explained to them that there were no recalls at first on the cobalt's either but unfortunately it took someone being killed for them to take the issue seriously. They state that they will send paperwork to have my car looked at by the Chevy dealer but we are still waiting. We could have been killed from this and I hope that this issue gets resolved and if it is a recall issue they do it fast before it happens to someone else.

Since purchasing my car in August 2013, I have had to make three fairly costly repairs. Each time the mechanic told me this was a "known problem" for Chevrolet. The first was the intake valve. I hadn't experienced problems but took the car in for what I thought was a squealing belt. The squealing turned out to be the water pump. Since that was secondary in importance to the intake valve, I had that replaced first. Followed by the water pump a couple of months later. Then about a month ago, I was out of town and my car suddenly would not shift into park or reverse. It was a worn and stretched shifter cable. However GM says my car is not part of the recall.

My 2.2 liter 4 cylinder Chevy engine in my 2007 Chevy Malibu started to misfire and the check engine light came on when I started my car in the morning. I brought it to a Chevrolet dealer in lodi California and after testing it they said it had a burnt valve in the #3 cylinder. I brought it to two other independent repair shops and they both said that there is a factory flaw in the cylinder heads that cause the valve seats to fail under normal use and cause the engine to misfire.

2007 Chevrolet Malibu. Consumer writes in regards to driver door lock malfunction caused by poor wire connection and consumer seeks reimbursement for repairs. The consumer stated while driving, the tire traction light illuminated and he was unable to turn it off, and then the check engine light illuminated. He was also unable to use the speed control setting, during that time. When he arrived home, he was unable to get out of the vehicle, because the driver door auto lock wouldn't operate properly. Two days later, when he put the vehicle into drive, the driver side door didn't lock automatically, but all the other locks worked properly. The dealer informed the consumer the harness came loose and it caused the wiring under the driver's seat to chaff and expose the wiring which then touched each other and caused the malfunction. He further advised that, as part of the repair, the harness and wiring were moved over from its original location so that the problem would never occur again.

Last week my car started creeping when I hit the gas. My car sounds like a boat. The car sounds like its not getting gas or choking. When it starts picking up speed it sounds like its dropping into the gears. I took it to the shop and they are telling me that there is a problem with the catalytic converter and it needs to be replaced. That has been replaced now they are telling me there is a problem with the timing chain and water pump. Now, I noticed that these are all things that are covered under Chevy warranty but the issues shows up after the warranty has ended. Chevy needs to extend the warranty on these parts because its a common issue.
