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.
My car decelerates and has a problem accelerating and I received a Shift to Park error on my instrument panel which would not allow my car to cut off leading to a drained battery and rolling. When I looked up Shift to Park I found that there has been a recall on Chevy Malibus 2016-2019, but the dealership says there-??s no recall on my car.
I went to put car in park and when it was in park I was still getting shift to park alert on dashboard. With this alert I was unable to turn off the vehicle. After about 30 minutes the first time it happened I was able to get it to acknowledge the car was in park by moving my car around parking lot and shifting from drive to park. The next day it happened again but this time I had to jiggle the shifter to get it to go into park after trying for about 30 minutes. The alert basically trapped me in a car that would not turn off. I took it to the dealer service center the next day and was told it is a common problem with my car. Repair bill was $400 and told it was not a recall or something gm would warranty.
Numerous accumulated problems, all have complaints already on NHTSA site here. First, Start/Stop malfunction, when it is active when stopped vehicle will stall when it tries to restart when you take your foot off brake and it-??s troublesome to restart at times, when that happens lights on dash all come on (warning lights) and radio/entertainment resets as well. Second, the traction control light on dash is on. The warning displays to have traction control system serviced, cruise control is disabled as a result, it-??s been to the dealer for both above problems the start/stop problem they say they can-??t get car to duplicate although it happens to us almost daily if not numerous times per day. This morning driving home from work the intake charge tube that attaches to intake keeps popping off and engine goes to reduced power mode on highway or wherever driving not safe at all. Saw a voluntary recall from GM going to contact dealer about tomorrow when open. Stereo resets often, completely shuts off and resets while driving at random. I also get the rushing/sloshing water noise other people have reported as complaints when coming to a stop, I read in forums that it-??s something to do with low coolant but not low enough to turn on low coolant warning light. GM really needs to address this stop/start and traction control needing service light problems as I read all over the internet of owner-??s complaints of same problems I have. Dealerships don-??t want to do anything with the cars unles the issue a recall because it comes out of their pockets. So many complaints I read owners keep reporting that dealer -??cannot reproduce identical problems-?? because they don-??t want repairs coming out of their pockets only out of GM. I-??m going to start filing formal complaints with GM until they get tired of hearing from me and fix some of this stuff or deem it a lemon and get rid of it finally.
While driving on the highway my car started loosing power. A warning light came on stating Engine Power is reduced. I could not excelerate had to pull over on side of road. This is the first time this has happened to me but I just purchased this vehicle on 7/15/21 with 51,000 miles.

I'm not sure what's wrong, but when I stop and start my vehicle back up with the auto start I can hear something like water flushing or running through my dashboard. Most of the time my vehicle will stall out when I press the gas, is driving or turning most of the time it don't won't to go. I almost got hit on several occasions because I would try to turn and the car will stall barley going. This has cause a lot of frustrations. I have had my car since August of 2020 and it has been doing this since 2-3 weeks after purchasing it. I have not had time to take it to the dealership for inspection because I have lupus and I'm tried and have random flares.
When trying to accelerate on the highway and merging if I get close to 3 RPM to get up to 60-65 mph M engine light appears on the dash as well as my traction sensor light and my car will no longer allow me to accelerate. Also after this happens it will not allow me to use my cruise control. This has happened multiple times over the last few months. I took it to my dealership to have it fixed twice the first time they could not figure out what was wrong the second time they discovered 3 of my fuel injectors were broken. I still experience this issue and it is very scary not being able to accelerate on the highway with big semis and other vehicles coming behind me.
Some days when I am driving my car it seems as if I'm pushing my foot down all the way onto the pedal and that's not normal it did it today 6/4/2020I just got that car October 2019, it did it 3 times so far like I was at a stop light and it seem as if the car took a very long time for me too push down on the pedal, and also while turning a corner it took a while for the acceleration too catch up and as I did some reach search some lower year cars like mine has recalls for fuel injectors relating too engine stalling or pedal sensors.
