general problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

Key consisting becomes stuck in the ignition cylinder of my 2014 Chevrolet Malibu. The vehicle will not turn off due to the key being stuck in the ignition. This prevents the doors from being locked and increasing the chance of the vehicle being stolen. There are a multitude of videos for this issue online and all are associated with Chevrolet vehicles. This is a reoccurring issue with this make of vehicles.

While someone is in my passenger seat, ally gages will go to 0, (including while driving) the seat warms will turn off, also my stereo shuts down. I get a notification saying "service tire monitoring system", "service thief deterrent system" also something about the airbags.

Service engine signal won't come off and my car won't cut off.

Whenever a passenger rides in the front seat all electrical components lose proper function. Heating/air-conditioning does not work, multiple warning sensors go off, radio does not work, gas gauge does not work, speedometer does not work, blinkers do not work.

The vehicle stops while in motion and in driving gear then wheel lock up. Making it unable to proceed to turn or drive. This does not matter if on highway or public street. Had to have car towed to cottmans and the mechanic stated that this issue is known and was covered by manufacturers under codes p0011 and p2646. Your assistance is needed with resolving this matter as my car is not driveable.

My passenger front air bag isn't working and my electrical to my emc isn't working and when battery is unhooked the interior lights stay on I've had several sensors to go bad.

The check engine light won't go off and there's only 78000 miles. The auto stop isn't working. The tracking light won't go of and the abs light wont go off.

Ac and radio completely stopped working. No power whatsoever.

The cars stop start function is malfunctioning and will completely turn the car off when engaged. I have almost been rear ended twice in the last two weeks due to this. This happens anytime the function is engaged. I just purchased the car March 17,2020.

Control panned for the 2014 chevy Malibu that controls heating a/c defrosting ect does not work . All of the lights went off and none of the controls are operational.

When my auto stop function initiates my battery loses power and cuts off my car completely.

Tl the contact owned a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu. Approximately one hour after parking the vehicle, flames were present under the hood of the vehicle. The fire department was called and extinguished the flames. The vehicle was destroyed. A fire report was filed. The cause of the fire was not determined. Cannon motors (69900 highway 82 west, greenwood, ms) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 170,000.

Bought car brand new from the chevy dealership in 2015. The check engine light comes on within a year. Code 305f. Replaced aux battery. 1 year later, code 305f, again. Replaced aux battery under warranty. Another code popped up. . This was a sensor; replaced under warranty. Nov 2018, again, code 305f. Another aux battery replaced. Here we are, Dec 2019, code 305f. Dealership states since we've replaced with a gel battery and both batteries are reading good but recharge, that it is the computer module on top of the battery which controls the auto stop/start and the remote start. In the almost 5 years I have had my car, it has been in the shop for this problem more than 3 times now and 2 times for hub assembly that should not have gone out at the low mileage of 42k. There is a clear problem with this 305f and the hub assembly as chevy has a service bulletin on the 305f and many chevy Malibu owners have made several hundred complaints according to online sources. This is a safety issue because the car will "die"(shut off completely) while at a stop sign or light which could result in a rear end. This car, along with the other 2014-2015 are being treated as though there is no problem. I'm sick of spending $140. 00 on an aux battery and wasting time for something that they know is worthy of a recall but are to cheap or just don't care about the buyer. As I write this, I am sitting at sterling mccall Chevrolet in houston for the wonderful 305f code. Do something about it! I was sitting at a light when the auto shut off/start kicked off and back on which caused the car to lunge forward. That's when the check engine light illuminated the first time. I drive my car because I have to and still paying it off, but I no longer feel safe in it and it puts me and my family along with other drivers at risk. I have about 2 years left on my payments.

This car is stalling and surging. You go to leave the stopped position it hesitate or stalls. Dies like it's starved of fuel. Rpm raises up with doing anything like a loss of power. Codes p0010 p0011 p0002.

When I come to a full stop at a red light or stop sign, when my car tries to use the auto stop feature the majority of the time it fails to start back on which causes it to fully turn off while the key is still turned and the car is in drive as if the car was still driving. I don't know what this problem is nor do I know what's causing it. I changed my spark plugs thinking that might of been the problem but it still continues to do the same malfunction. Please help.

I'm driving on a city street with a passenger in the passenger seat and suddenly the air bag light comes on and all of the gauges on the dash board stop working (speedometer/gas) and radio goes black. It happens intermittently and usually only when someone is in the passenger seat. I'm not sure if I lose my headlights as well because I haven't had it happen at night yet.

Code u0121 lost connection with electronic brake control module. When coming to a stop, the vehicle stalls and the rpm's drop. Jerky acceleration. While driving at speed, vehicle stutters an acceleration.

The defrost/heater/air condition control doesn't work. The vent selected lights work but the power control dial doesn't.

The engine light came on with ap2646 code. After attempting to repair, and the code remaining I attempted to find part 12633613. Unable to locate the part I brought it in to a garage. They replaced the same part I had already replaced, and still the engine light remained. They were also unable to locate the referenced part online or through a dealership (mangino Chevrolet). I contacted several dealerships and gm, the party is discontinued and back ordered at parts stores and dealerships. Without this part, the car can not be inspected and becomes a safety issue, and s legal issue of continued to operate on the road (in NY and elsewhere I imagine). The part is faulty on many cars if the back order is an accurate indication. Although it does not prevent safe operation of the car, the car can not be inspected overall for safety until the engine light is fixed.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving and making a turn, the vehicle stalled in the middle of traffic. The contact had to place the vehicle into park and restart the engine. On one occasion, the contact had to get the police to help push the vehicle and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The vehicle was driven to tim lally Chevrolet (24999 miles rd, warrensville heights, OH 44128, (440) 359-8781) where it was diagnosed that the battery saver module needed to be installed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 66,300.

The car set on fire after the engine was turned off. Within minutes the whole car was engulfed in flames. The fire department reported the fire was electrical. Gm reportedly investigated the charred remains weeks after the fire and declined to provide any information on the investigation or compensation for the vehicle.

My windshield and back window was fogging on the inside during the fall and frosting on the inside during the winter. My carpets felt like a sponge. It turned out there were 6" of standing water under my floorboards on the driver side of the car (front and back). The mechanic traced this back to an opening between two panels, just below the windshield, that were never sealed. He said I was lucky. If the water got any higher, it could have interfered with the electrical and airbag system. I also lucked out in that there was no mold growth. My car was purchased new only five years prior and had never been in an accident. Repair required the removal of my windshield, a side panel on the car, my driver seat, and the tearing up of my carpets.

Tamara recall check engine turn on and when eco turns on my radio turns off.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated. The failure occurred whenever the contact attempted to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the timing chain needed to be replaced. The contact drove the vehicle to autonation (7769 grapevine highway, fort worth, TX 76180, (817) 485-0400) where it was diagnosed that a new computer needed to be installed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 65,000.

The vehicle is regularly requiring a jump start due to a low battery voltage. While operating my car whenever I come to a stop the auto start/stop feature activates and my engine is shut off. As I release my foot from the brake and the engine restarts all power to my vehicle is completely lost temporarily, including the power to my steering wheel which instantly locks up. It's been very scary and concerning to say the very least. I've also lost power to other systems on my car like the climate control system being unresponsive entirely, not being able to adjust it at all. The climate control section underneath the radio controls were completely blacked out and non-functioning. There was no buttons illuminated nor were the ambient lighting around it illuminated. I tried restarting my vehicle and that didn't work. The climate control eventually was functioning again shortly after. While driving down the road with my foot on the accelerator, I regularly get an alert from the information screen in between the gauges stating something along the lines of "service stabilitrak". Every time the message appears I feel that my engine or transmission loses a bit of it's sense of functionality. My car jerks regularly. I was told it may be the auxiliary battery which I've replaced and I'm still experiencing these issues.

The vehicle has an auto stop/start feature that engages when at redlight. The function has stopped working. Paid to have expensive auxillary battery replaced and system checked. However system is still inoperational and the dealership has told me there is no fix.

I started my car and drove about 1/4 of a mile and a warning light came up on my car stating engine power reduced. Pulled over put car in park turned car off then on then drive. Car did fine for about a mile. Then car showed reduced engine power again and then completely shut off in middle of road and would not start back. Was in middle of curve going up hill. Car would not even roll when placed in neutral so that I could get it out of road.

Auto start does not work. It keeps giving me a check engine light when I try to start the car with the remote. I took it to auto zone to get a diagnostics test. The code came back with p305f dtc definition.

I believe my 2014 Chevrolet Malibu is experiencing a manufacturing recall involving driving visibility issues with the defrost/defogger system that was recalled on all 2014 Chevrolet Malibu's made between 06-2013 and 11-2013. The recall number I found for that was #13v567000 and the recall came out on 11-13-2013. The exact description for this recall states, ��the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (hvac) control in these vehicles may intermittently become inoperable when the vehicle is started, preventing the windshield defroster from working. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 103, "windshield defrosting and defogging systems. "� my car was manufactured in 09-2013. The problem I'm having is I am only able intermittently turn on my air conditioning, heat, and defrost system. Sometimes it will turn on when I turn the knob with the fan icon, and sometimes it won't turn on at all, even for periods of over 24 hours. Not only does this mean I can no longer confidently control the temperature of the car, but I can't always use my defrost option either which creates a major visibility safety issue. It does not matter if the car is in motion or if it is parked for this to occur. When the system does turn on, everything works fine. This is a car I'm still paying on and I'm not even gauraunteed to be able to use this basic safety function when needed. I contacted my dealer and gave my VIN number to them, and unfortunately for me they said my specific car was not apart of the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu recall. I'm asking if my incident could please be investigated and reconsidered as part of the recall considering my issue matches the exact description of it. I'm not sure where to go next or what to do about this whole process. I appreciate and thank you for all your time and attention to my concern.

When I turn my car on service power steering drive with care warning signs comes on and my steering wheel is very hard to turn wont allow me to turn all the way left or right so I basically get stuck on the streets intersections parking lots steering wheel is stiff the warning sign would come off every time I would hit a bump but now its so hard and stiff to turn I have to use full force just to make a turn. I take it in an d they said they cannot figure out why very frustrated and very scary.

I had to slam on brakes would not brake and power cut off and cut back on.

Auxiliary battery in the rear compartment failure causing fire while the vehicle was parked and not powered on. The vehicle had been powerless for approximately 10 hours prior to the fire.

Malibu while driving just has hot air blowing and while sitting room to dealership I bought it from and they can not duplicate the problem and says it is fine. It constantly blows hot air in 104 degree weather checked coolant and antifreeze and compressor still not working been trying to get it fixed but everyone cannot duplicate the problem.

The reason for this complaint is because I believe Chevrolet has defective abs sensor embedded in the wheel hub of this vehicle. We purchased two of these Chevrolet Malibu cars a couple months apart and have experienced the same problem with each. One of our vehicles was out of warranty (VIN 1g11e5sl9ef253406) and repairs come at a cost of $450. 00 plus per occurrence with under 65 housand miles. We have suffered the same failure twice with the out of warranty vehicle less than 2 months and 3 thousand miles apart. After doing minimal research and comments made by the mechanic at our small dealer I believe this is a much larger problem than a coincidence. People purchase these vehicles with the abs - traction control and expect them to function properly without expensive repairs as regular maintenance. I believe this should be investigated further. As of today there are no recalls for this defect. I have opened a service request with gm 8-2656937595 this vehicle had a sensor failure which is embedded in the hub assembly. The sensor failure disables the abs and traction control system of the vehicle. The entire hub assembly had to be replaced. This failure happened within the Chevrolet bumper to bumper warranty period consequently it was repaired under the manufacturer warranty.

"takata recall" when my wife got into car and turned it on she turned a/c on and it was only blowing hot air. Then she noticed all dash lights and gauges were not working as well. It also gave her lots of prompts saying service air bags and oil. She tried driving it down the street and she noticed odometer, speedometer, and gas gauges were not working as well. She also said the touchscreen for radio was totally black and radio was not working. So she brought it back home and turned it off and radio came on and did not want to turn off even while car was off and doors were open. So I came home and turned car back on and now everything seems to be working properly. We dont know if this is an early sign of something going out or is going to be out in the future but this is a safety issue because you can be driving and what if this happens again. . . . . .
