This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Engine light came on, lack of power to engine. Was driving 68 mph when it occurred on Georgia 400. Car was taken to dealership, and diagnosed with a pedal sensor issue. The part is on back order because so many Malibu's have this issue. This should be a recall issue
For 2 years now I can be driving and I get a warning that the engine has been reduced only allowing the vehicle to go 25 mph. I was on the highway (81) and almost lost my life when the truck behind me almost didn't stop in time. I have been to the dealer and understand the part I need is back ordered with no indication as to when the part will come in and I cant get a replacement vehicle. I use my vehicle for work and cant be without transportation. Onstar emails me every time stating there is a problem with the engine/transmission.
Both mine and my wifes 2017 Malibu goes in to reduce engine power mode with stability tack light on and service engine light on.and when it happens on the freeway car just drops to 25 miles an hour.very dangerous
My vehicle would not start. The starter would try and turn the engine over for 10 seconds then the starter would shut off. This happened on 3/7/18 and the vehicle was towed in for service. The fuel pump 'control module' was replaced at the dealership and I took posseion of the car on 3/10/18. On 3/12/18 the vehicle had the same issue with no fuel pressure and resulted in the car turning off while driving and I was unable to start the vehicle again. It was then towed to another dealership which is now replacing the 'fuel pump' due to a GM tsb communication 16-na-225.
After filling vehicle fully with fuel the fuel gauge does not register full. My dealership contacted GM and they said it is a "non-issue" but the dealership disagrees since they have had numerous vehicles with the same complaint.
Inaccurate gas meter or other fuel components. The meter does not match the reading on the mychevrolet app. I just filled my tank until the pump stops and the meter reads full in my car. The app reads 78% thus I do not know how much gas I really have left. This has been an issue since the day I purchased my car on 12/10/2016. After 2 or 3 visits to my dealer, they fixed the problem after calibrating the meter months ago and it was fine until today. Today 11/27/2017, the meter is now inaccurate again. I do not have this particular problem with any of my other Chevrolet vehicles. There are many complaints relating to this vehicle's gas meter and the car in general if you check Chevrolet's facebook page. This can cause someone to run out of gas before expected in an inconvenient place possibly causing a serious accident and injuries. This needs to be recalled immediately before this becomes a major problem.
