Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu

I came to a complete stop at a stop sign and my car shut off. I turned it back on and it drove. I was at a red light and my car started to stall and shut off. This has happened a few times. I was on a local street. I searched this up on gm website and quite a few people have had the same problems with no resolution.

I was traveling on 294 south using cruise control at 70 mph when the car started losing power but all internal app lights like the radio remained on and the steering wheel was still functional. Once the vehicle was put in parked it shut off. Only issue lights that appeared 1 week prior was the abs sensor had malfunctioned on the front left tire. I attempted to jump the battery but it did not respond. Car had been parked and a friend who works on cars believes the engine is dead even though there shows 23% of oil left and no other symptoms of a blown engine. I have been goodland 2013 chevy Malibu eco issues and other than potentially the starter it could be the computer that has died. I changed out the battery and it turns everything on, but struggles to crank and remain on. I came across several links regarding a recall due to computer, but honestly don't know if its even that. Mechanic friend believes it could also be the ecm.

At various times while driving-whether parked, actively driving, at a stop sign, turning, backing up- my cars power will flicker and the engine shuts off causing the steering to lock. This has done this to me quite a few times, almost causing an accident on more then one occasion. Sometimes it will do it as often as 14 times in a 25 minute ride. No lights such as the cel or anything come on beforehand to indicate that theres a problem when it happens. I've taken it to a mechanic twice to have it checked out and he sees no obvious reasons why it would do this, and there are no codes to pull to explain it. Enough people are having this same issue it should be made a recall and looked into! it's not safe to drive a vehicle like this that can shut off and the steering locks at any given moment. The 1st time this happened was June 5, 2020 and almost every day since.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while her son was driving at 65 mph on the highway and the GMC module electrical system to battery lost power and the vehicle's engine shut off. The vehicle would come to a complete stop while on the highway. There was smoke coming from the trunk from the module. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer. The dealer diagnosed the issue as electrical after recieving codes from diagnostic tests on the module. The vehicle still remains at the dealer unrepaired since 06/2020 . The failure mileage was 118,000. Tf.

I took it to the dealership and they can't figure out why it does that just shut down while you sit there in drive.

While at a stop light on a very busy city street the engine stopped running and the car shut off. My foot was still on the break and the car was in drive. I put the car in park then restarted the car and it started running like it should, there was no warning lights displayed before, during, or after this happened. In another incident while I reversed the car the engine shut off without any warning lights, I had to put the car in park again and restart it to get the engine running again.

As I was driving 35 mph on a busy downtown location in my area of new orleans, my 2013 chevy Malibu decided to shut down on me. At first when I stopped at a red light, the car stall as though it wanted to cut off but it didn't at that moment. When I made it to the second red light the car shut completely off then came right back on. I was terrified as my 12 year old daughter sat in the back seat of the car so I decided to head home which was 15 mins from the location where I was plus I also had to travel over a busy mississippi river bridge to get to my house from that location. As I was making my way back towards the bridge to get home, I notice different signals flashing across my dashboard, then the car shut down completely giving me little to no time to make a decision to pull over. The steeling wheel locked up giving me no control as to which way to steer the vehicle, car completely dead. I was so blessed that no cars was in the way of where the car was going. The car refused to start again and key got stuck . I had to get it towed home. I'm begging chevy, please look into this issue. I have seen lots of reviews regarding these make and models and it looks like nothing is being done. I had a 2006 chevy Malibu which I loved so much that I decided to trust chevy with my next car. As I closed my eyes that night I could only imagine what could have happen if I was on that bridge heading home with cars traveling 60-70mph? what if I was infront of a river, on a train track, in front of a big body vehicle such as a bus or 18-wheeler or someone walking in the direction the car was going? someone, if haven't already could truly cause damage to their life or someone else's life. Please chevy think about the family lives which are being put in danger, even the dealership's dont truly know the issues.

19 August 2019 on this day twice I experience loss of power on the vehicle and power steering. Luckily I did not hit any cars. Was driving below 35 mph the first incident is when I came to a red light the radio turn off first then the car felt sluggish and the engine shut down lost control of everything and was coasting. Vehicle gain power by it self and resume operations. During every light I stop it felt like it wanted to lose power. Came to a parking lot driving around 5 mph completely the car shut off first radio and then whole vehicle this time it did not gain power by it self. Had to place the vehicle in park turn the key off and restart it was able to park it. After reading here seems a lot of people are having this issue an immediate investigation should be open because this can possibly happen in the highway if I lose control power in the power steering I could potentially crash of get hit by a car . Call gm and they said they do not have a bulletin ask them for an address to submit a formal complaint and was given one. I don't think gm cares hopefully you guys can look into the issue and get and answer as to why is happening consumers should not have to pay a diagnostic fee and not get answers.

Car shuts off completely while driving. Electrical system is sporadic then shuts down.

Saturday I was parking my car and the car all of a sudden stopped. The wheel locked and then the car just shut off. I had no problem restarting it. Today I was on the highway and my vehicle did the same thing.

While driving and moving or using steering drive car completely shuts down. I almost had 2 accidents because of this. It happens randomly suddenly the car while driving shuts down, stereo goes off and driving steering wheel goes hard I cant use it. When I turn off the car trying to park it it shuts down and keys get locked or stuck, unable to remove keys. While driving sometimes if you turn on highlights it shuts down the car. This is very unsafe, really disappointed with general motors and Chevrolet. I almost crash with other car because of this. It really is a fabric issue, there are hundreds of cases and complaints demonstrating that this is a error that gm or Chevrolet needs to fix for the safety of their customers.

Car shuts off while driving at any speed. Touch screen goes black and power steering goes out. It happens more frequent when turning. It is unsafe because if you are driving on a curve it could cause a crash because the steering wheel will not turn. You loose control of the car.
