general problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

This car is equipped with the auto stop/auto start feature. Meaning when you come to a complete stop the car shuts down, then when its time to go by releasing the brakes it will restart and move again. With my Malibu it will auto stop constantly and when the light turns green it won't restart for sometimes minutes at a time. Holding up traffic behind me and creating chaos. I have to put the car in park mode, pull out the key, reinsert the key and try to start it. Sometimes it restarts after one time of doing this, but most of the time it takes several tries to finally getting it started. It started doing this about 2 months ago and seems like its getting worse. I feel like this is a huge safety issue, and am concerned for my safety and those of others in my car at the time. Please investigate into this matter, thank you. *.

It's making a unknown sound.

I have a 2014 chevy Malibu LS. About a year ago while at a stop light the car engine shut stopped working, and all the lights came off. I had to get the assistance of a police officer to control traffic away from my car, until the tow truck arrived and towed it to the shop. I was told that the auxiliary battery was bad, and had it replaced. The car it worked well. In August of this year the car engine began shutting off, while I was driving, and sometimes after it was parked overnight. I had the batteries checked, and was told that they were bad. I live in az, and the weather here is very hot, both were replaced on August 27th and 28th, less than 2 months ago, with two new batteries. The car worked well up until this evening, when it shut down completely as I was driving into my yard. All the lights came off, and I cannot get the key out of the ignition. I am glad that it happened when I entered my yard and not while I was driving on the freeway. Will tow it to the shop in the morning to find out what the problem is now.

The car shut off when you get on your brakes while driving down the highway.

Hvac control module. Module needs to be reprogrammed.

Car has problem with auto stop. Stalls and hard to restart. Took to mechanic and gets code with brake assist. Called chevy and they stated my car had a recall with this exact issue but states is closed however they could not get any info on when fixed and where. Called dealer where bought car and they state no recall on car ever and never even hard of this recall. Called back other dealer and they will look at car but cant for days and wont give a loaner. What is happening with car is wht the recall is. Dealer that will look at car thinks it is very starnge that comes up with this recall but closed with no other info. Car is not safe to drive as stalls and hard to restart and having brake assist issues.

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.

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.

The vehicle has a auto/stop feature which is extremely faulty. The feature is supposed to keep the vehicle's electronics running while the engine shuts off after certain criteria before stopping is met. However, the auto/stop feature on my car when activated causes the system to completely shut off and all electronics go black upon starting back up. The check engine light has also come on because of this issue. After researching, there is no way I can disable the feature and there is no way to really fix the issue. My concern is that something electrical could happen and the car could be ruined as a result.

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.

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.

Rocker arm control valve- gm part # 12633613 . Causes chugging, shuddering, slow acceleration, delay when going from a stopped position (I. E. Stop light/ sign), poor gas mileage. Check engine light remains on and will not allow for remote start to be used. Driving at any rate of speed over 15 mph, either in town or highway/ interstate, the engine will chug or try to stall. Also going over 45 mph, will cause the vehicle to shudder when driving. Acceleration is delayed, causing issues while at intersections.

Side view mirrors keep falling off. Tabs holding mirrors in place always break which causes mirrors to fall out of sockets while driving on highway. Had to replace both mirrors on vehicle at considerable expense.

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.

Dec. 28 , 2016 I was leaving to work at 4 am when I turned on the my car I tried to turn on my defrosters but I'm a/c wasn't turning on untill like 10 mins after the car was running it turn on. The same thing happened in the summer of 2017 it's like 110 degrees I tried to turn on my a/c just wasn't turning on maybe cars have bad days too.

The "auto stop" has stopped working. It is suppose to shut down the engine after a complete stop to conserve fuel however the tachometer indicates that the engine is still running and does not drop to "auto stop" at the bottom of the tachometer. This does not save any fuel and it completely worthless.

When car is roling ,the stering has to be in a word [ yanked] to redirect your center of your [ one] lane !!!!!! 80%on highway driving. . . Note,alignment has been checked and rechecked three times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

A lady ran a red light and t-boned my chevy Malibu on the drivers side as I was proceeding through the intersection. Airbags did not deploy. My head slammed in to the drivers side window. Drivers side door was smashed in. The car had to be towed because it couldn't be driven. I have a concussion that's lasted for 2 weeks and body pain from the accident. Shouldn't the airbags have deployed?.

July 16,2016 my 2014 Chevrolet Malibu was parked in a parking space space and began to roll backwards. The car was occupied with a front side passenger and 2 rear passengers. I was able to jump in the car and press the brake to stop the car from going further. I do not see that there is a recall or that there has been a recall. I am checking after seeing an unfortunate accident on the news of the same problem resulting in death.

The trunk of my Malibu opens by itself. This has happened twice now, the first time I thought that maybe I or my children accidentally pushed the trunk release button on the remote key. But the second time this happened this could not be the case. I saw on forums that this issue is happening to others as well.

According to the information I was given, this vehicle should have an average of 36 mpg for hwy. I drive 100 miles every day round trip and 98 miles of that is highway at posted speed of 60-65 mph. I am still getting only about 27. 5 mpg almost a year later. I trade in a 2009 Saturn aura that was getting almost 32 mpg after 100,000 miles. I've heard that if you disconnect the ecoassist it will help the mileage go up? my dealer told me this is not possible. I understand there are a lot of Malibu owners out there that are also disappointed at this mpg. What can be done to get to at least 30 mpg?.
