My check engine light randomly comes on and sometimes I would hear a noise coming from the engine. While driving on the highway I could feel the acceleration give out randomly around 60 mph. I brought to the dealership and the light was no longer on. They stated that they can't see what is going on unless the light is one and I asked for a transmission flush, since it was around the time the book deemed it necessary to be done, and they stated they no longer perform transmission flushes for the 2010 chevy Malibu and if I wanted to go somewhere and do it on my own that was up to me. I went to multiple places who does transmission flushes and they stated they could not perform the task, only the dealership could. So now here I am today I pulled into a drive thru and my car started bucking really bad and as I started driving again the check engine light came back on and now it is making a crunching sound from the engine. I cannot drive my car if it is unsafe like this. I don't know what to do because my warranty is up as well. .
