Car randomly not starting had solenoids replaced and fuel pump. It started a few times then wouldn't start acts like it's going to but not getting enough fuel. Had diagnostic reading done when it was doing this the code reading was vehicle submersion. The mechanic asked if it had ever been flooded like in deep water. Never had been but that was the code reading. He redid diagnostics different codes then came up showing other crazy things. None of these were correct. Anyway long story short 3 different garages had no idea what to do. I traded the car for a new one but I believe this should be looked into because alot of people I've talked to with this year make and model car around the same mileage are having this problem my car had 73000 miles. Sometimes it's shutting down while driving. There is something faulty in the computer system that's not showing up until a few years after purchase. I have receipts of repairs and phone numbers to garages.

When filling gas into tank flow is restricted to the point fuel gushes out onto ground and person. Some internal blockage slows entry. Heard similar from other owners. Occurs on every filling. Fire hazzard!

Takata recall. While on the highway going 60 mph I lost all power to my vehicle almost causing a few accidents. I pulled the car over and had it towed to a shop. They had to push the car into the shop due to it not starting. After throughly looking and checking everything the dianosic test did not revel anything. The mechanic then banged on the rear fuse panel (trunk) the car then started. The panal is shuting my fuel pump off. The fuel pump has been tested the fuse relays have been tested. The problem is faulty fuse box and wires connected im assuming. After 2 weeks and 3 mechcanics my car is still not running.

While in motion more than two dozen times on city streets, on busy highways and while turning in a busy intersection with children in the car. 2012 Chevy Malibu stops while in motion on the above stated streets, highways and intersections. Read where someone beat on the rear fuse box then car starts so I tried it and it works for a little while but doesnt solve said problem. Checked battery. Battery is good. Check engine light and ESC light stays on. ESC light only goes off at high mph. Have to let car sit for awhile to start before knew about fuse box trick. Someone that tried to help me get off middle of busy street said it sounds like a fuel delivery problem.

For the past 2 weeks, I had a problem with my car starting. I would drive to work fine but when I would leave from work my car wouldn't start. Initially, I thought it was the battery so I had it jumped. I immediately took it to autozone to have the battery tested. I was told the battery was in excellent condition. My father advised to put heet fuel injector cleaner as it was extremely cold and he thought maybe water got into the fuel line. Well that same day after stopping to pick up my child for 5 minutes I shut the car off. It wouldn't start. I called the tow company but after waiting on hold 20 minutes later I start my car at the direction of the roadside assistance tech. It started. Then it happened again a couple of days later but I let it sit and tried it again. Car ran fine for a week then as I was leaving for lunch today it wouldn't start. I had it towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. Come to find out that the fuel wires melted onto the fuel box and they had no idea why. This sounds like a serious matter because I wonder what would've happened had I continue driving with melted wires on the fuel box. Sounds like a fire waiting to happen. I felt that this is some type of defect because that isn't normal wear and tear.

I am experiencing erratic throttle response and erratic transmission shifts in my 2012 Malibu. The inconsistent delays in throttle response pose a safety hazard. This issue is compounded when it affects the transmission shifts. When you push the accelerator you do not know if you will get immediate response, or delayed response, nor how sudden that response might be to the extent of almost losing control of the vehicle. The transmission shifts are not consistent. While driving down the interstate I have had it shift 2 gear down, and other times it has not shifted up to a higher gear. When both issues occur at once it is extremely hazardous. The only reason there was no accident is the other drivers realized something was wrong and were able to slow down and avoid hitting me by driving around me on the shoulder.
