I own a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu with 34K miles. While the vehicle is in park I receive a mesage to shift to park while attempting to turn off the vehicle. The shifter needs to be shifted several times before the message goes away and I able to turn off the car. This has became a hazard because the vehicle won't fully turn off. I took my vehicle to my local Chevrolet dealer who diagnosed the issue as a defective transmission control. The warranty would not cover this defective and I had to pay out of pocket. Please have GM issue a recall.
'tamara recall' I was driving to work when my check engine light came on and a warning said 'engine power loss' and my car slowed down to 40mph, I was on the highway, speed limit of 65, I also got and email saying there was a problem with my engine and transmission system, I took it in to be looked at,2 codes piped up saying P1101 which is the throttle body and P2318 which is (app) gas pedal, my check engine light was turned off, it didn't come back on for a couple of days, then it turned back on, by the next morning it went off by itself! I believe this should be recall

When placing the car in the park position an error message appears after turning off the ignition 'shift to park'. you will have to turn the car back on and make sure that your foot is on the brake just in case it rolls. Then shift the car into drive or reverse in to shift it back to the park position. This has to be done several times before the vehicle will correctly identify that it is in the park position.

I was driving on the interstate at 70 mph when suddenly I received a dash notice of reduced power. I went from 70 to 20 in a matter of minutes and could not accelerate beyond 20 mph. I was able to exit and drive to my dealer ship steve raymond Chevrolet in smyrna ga. I was told it was the accelerator pedal senor unit that had failed. Now I see there are complaints all over the internet about this problem and GM is doing nothing about it, it is a $400 repair. It is a safety hazard as well. Make GM recall this part!! thanks
Water is getting in threw the 3rd brake mounted on the rear windshield. The light is fogged and water is leaking into the main cabin. The vehicle can be in motion or stationary. I feel it is unsafe because water could be sitting somewhere in the main cabin, and could eventually produce mold. Also, this is an electrical issue do to water shorting it out.
Shift to park issue. Vehicle is clearly in park but message on message board informs me "vehicle is not in park." Have to wiggle/mess with shifter in order to get the message to disappear. Otherwise vehicle will not turn off. Dealership informed me the shifter assembly needed to be replaced... common problem and needs to be fixed by Chevy.
I have a 2016 Chevy Malibu. As I was driving my engine light came on and then a message saying that my engine power has been reduced. I took my car to a near by Chevrolet service department. They said that the issue was a failed accelerator pedal alone with some failed sensors. I saw several reviews with a similar problem if not the same. I was very shocked to see that there was not a recall to correct this issue. I brought this car brand new and every since then I have been having nothing but issues. I called GM and they opened a ticket, so hopefully I get some feedback saying that it is something they are recalling to correct the issue.. until then I have to pay out of pocket for a rental. If they do not recall it then I will be paying over $1200 for repairs.
Water leaked into the body of the car through the center mount stop lamp at the top of the rear window. Either the gasket was defective, or it was simply missing from the car. Over time, water seeped into the car from under the drivers seat. The heat from the summer caused mold to grow on the vehicle floor boards and the drivers side seat blet. Moisture in the car caused damage to the electronic components. The car is totaled and currently awaiting inspection at the Chevrolet dealership in my area. The consumer stated he no longer owns the vehicle.
Takata recall: My veichle have been having electrical issues since months now. I have been paying extra money to repairs and still doesn't get it fix. Dealership doesn't know what to do anymore. My car turns off at the light to save gas but whenever I release the brake back again the whole screen goes off and back on again with the engine. Sometimes I have to push it to the side of the street because it doesn't want to turn back on. Mesaage on the screen says ' power steerling reduced, please drive with care' also it says sometimes ' stabilititank '. I need help on this situation because I don't know what to do anymore. I saw a recall of 7,000 cars same type like mine on 2016 for the same issues. Thank you.
Alternator bearing is going bad. I have not replaced it yet the car is only two years old alternator should last at least seven years. I also had a new engine put in a few months ago because of the piston cracked. So many issues with the new engine in the 2016 Chevy Malibu model
Car hesitates when pushing accelerator and begins to move forward slowly for a few seconds and then accelerates rapidly. This has happened on numerous occasions for the past few months and because it is only random when I take it to the dealer they can't duplicate it. This occurs when I am stopped at a stop light, pulling out of a parking space, or pulling out of a parking lot into traffic. I've been told it has something to do with a smart transmission because me and my wife have different driving happens. (which doesn't sound reasonable) last time it did this was yesterday and it seems to happening more frequently.
Car refuses to acknowledge that it has been shifted into park, despite having been properly shifted into park. I receive the error message "shift vehicle into park" after turning off the ignition. Took several tries to make it go away. Vehicle was stationary in a parking lot.
The third light has caused a leaking problem into the trunk. Complained to the dealership and nothing was done. It ruined the headliner and the cover that goes oer spare tire.
I took the car to the mechanic because of check engine light car wasn't acting weird or anything. They recommended replacing multifunction power supply converter, it has internal issues I approved they told me everything is fine everything cleared. The next day the vehicle started to go crazy I stated that engine light is on again car lounges forward and that the doors lock and unlock all while driving and car then just stops I had to restart it. They recommended replacing battery I approved.the same day I picked up my car check engine light showed but the next day car started to be it self again so I kept it didn't take it in.a week later the same symptoms car jolts forward, it locks and unlocks when driving and car turns off completely this time they recommended replacing negative battery cable I approved. 30 minutes after leaving the mechanics, car has the same exact previous symptoms but now car went beyond crazy, car was on drive but won't accelerate, break, and steering wheel locked, dash said (service stabilitrak) (ice possible) it hot outside. It happens when I get off freeways, when I'm driving on regular streets: Doors locks and unlocks dash always say check rear door locks the, car lunges forward and then car just stops and won't go I have to turn it off then on again. Just imagine if car completely stop in a freeway, I'm lucky that it gives me a warning when I hear the locks go crazy I pull over I then able to drive it slowly home and all the way home car jolts towards locks are going crazy and car stops frequently in the middle of the streets. Then I'm able to take it to the mechanics like nothing ever happens to it. Goes back to normal with no check engine light like nothing ever happened.
