This is the third time this instance has occured. The vehicle dash stated "reduced engine power" and the check engine light appears. This slows the vehicle to an almost complete stop. Luckily I have either been in traffic, in a parking lot and a green light when this happens but this is an issue. I am in motion.

The first time the vehicle shut off was cruising out of a parking lot, it did so for a split second. The next time was at my house, I needed to go run to the store. I tried starting it. It said "shift to park" but I was in park. Then it said "service stabilitrack system", and then something along the lines of "power steering service required". I waited and tried for hours and then eventually called for a tow truck.

The contact owns a 2018 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the automatic stop feature caused the vehicle to stop while in motion. While the vehicle was stopped, it would stall. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to zeigler Chevrolet schaumburg (1230 E golf rd, schaumburg, il 60173, (847) 882-2200), but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage and VIN were not available.

I was driving my 2018 Chevy Malibu ls that I haven't owned for more then 30 days and my check engine light came on in the driveway when I started it up to let it warm since it was winter so I took it to christenson Chevrolet in highland Indiana and the code U01B0 came up which is the battery sensor module and the dealer told me there is no fix for it and engineering is looking into it and the paperwork they gave me shows they have had this problem with the 2017 and 2018 models and no fix yet. They are selling cars with defects and I told them I wanted a different model or same model and they told me I had to talk to corporate which I did and corporate told me I had to talk to the dealer so now I am in the workings of filing a lawsuit for lemon law since they have no intention on fixing this problem since now the remote start won't work since this issue and corporate isn't doing anything which is fine because the courts will work this out Chevrolet use to be a good reliable company but not anymore
