Malibu LS 3.2L

My my car started jerking while idle or stopped. I took it to a standard mechanic and they said they couldn't determine what what going on. The next week I had an appointment scheduled to get the issue looked at by a certified Chevrolet mechanic at a dealership; my car stalled on the way to the dealership. It shut off while I was waiting behind another car. I had to stop the car put it in park, remove the keys then start again in drive. I turned around and got my car towed to the dealership. They said it was my batteries and the stop start system. They charged me $1016 to supposidly replace both batteries. In less than 24hrs not even driven 30 miles my car did the same thing at a busy intersection only this time it didn't start back up immediately I sat in the car for about 5 minutes and was able to move from the intersection. I then towed the car back to the dealership. Now they are saying I need a whole new transmission that estimate cost $6000-$7000

Malibu 2.5L 4-cylinder

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5 miles

I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu which has the stop/start feature. I was never told about this feature when I bought the car. When the car stops, the engine turns off, but heat, lights, radio, ect stays on. When you take your foot off the brake to return to gas pedal the car jerks. This feature cannot be turned off.

Went back to the dealer several times and was told nothing is wrong with car, even though engine jerks after releasing foot off brake. The sales person who sold me the car didn't even know about this feature. If I would of know this I would have not bought the car.

I sit in stop and go traffic all the way to work and this stop/go feature is not suppose to engage but it still does, and is a real pain in the ass. I gave Chevy documents found on the internet that says feature will only engage when driving and stopping at traffic lights, or similar, but not in stop and go traffic. So all the way to work my car is jerking everytime this stop/start feature turns on. Do not buy the new 2014 chevy Malibu, you will be very disappointed.
