general problems of the 2015 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

The rocker arm control valve has to be changed on my car. General motors and cheverolet continues to say they don't know when they are going to get the part. My check light has been on and I need this matter corrected. I just want to be able to buy the part and get it fixed. I have been waiting since November of 2019. The part number is 12633613.

While driving the vvt solenoid malfunctioned and all the oil spilled out of the car rendering the non operable. This part can not be found anywhere. I was told be the several dealships that this part has been so back order since June 2019 leaving me without a car and with a car note. Gm should offer a credit back to their customers!!.

Received a notification on the dash, engine light. Took it to get checked & it's the rocker arm control valve. I've been waiting on this part since last year. I'm not able to use my remote starter as a result, & I'm not able to get a plate sticker bcz the car won't pass emissions. I feel this will start to mess up the engine, & gm is saying they don't know when the part will be available. I'm reading a lot of complaints about this same issue, & feel there needs to be a recall!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact was driviing then whole dashboard lit up and vehicle started shaking. The contact just stopped the vehicle. An independent mechanic was called and said the issue was the engine variable timing control valve and not to drive the vehicle. The independent mechanic ordered the part from the manufacturer. The part was still on back order. The manufacturer offered $2,500 to use toward purchasing a brand new vehicle but the contact did not take the offer. The manufacturer said the vehicle was out of warranty and not their responsibility. The vehicle currently sits at the contact's home since 09/12/. 19 unfixed and undrivable. The manufacturer told both the state's attorney general and the better business bureau the same thing that the vehicle was out of warranty and not their responsibility. The failure mileage was 50,000. Tf.

My engine light came on 9/4/19 and it was discovered that I need the rocker arm selanoid valve replaced. The dealership informed me it's been on back order some June 2019. It is now 1/28/2020 and chevy has yet to provide any information on when part will be manufactured and available. No dealership in the country has this part. Vehicles mostly affect are 2014-2015 but my dealership has been receiving calls up to year 2017. The dealership has also mentioned that the after market version of the part is being pulled from the market. Chevy had yet to take responsibility and issue a recall or even manufacturer a necessary part for the engine!.

Auto stop which comes standard in 2015 Malibu's with 2. 5l engines will not engage. It used to work flawlessly, but it will not engage. Multiple forms that I have read have people stating they have the same issue.

My 2015 chevy Malibu ltz eco, just suddenly loss power while at a stop light. The auto stop had engaged once I came to a complete stop. Upon giving the car gas to take off, the auto stop had been disengage. Foot on the gas to go and the vehicle just sat there for a few seconds then it just came alive and took off. At first I was thinking it was the transmission acting up. Then the complete loss of power happened.

Air bag sensor has been malfunctioning, misreading that there is a passenger in my car when there is not anybody present and the seat is clear. Check airbag light on dash is lit. The the screen display shows a blank green screen when put in reverse and has to be put in park to correct green screen. The auto shut off for the engine when the brake pedal is engaged turns the car completely off; including head lights, interior lights, and all capacities of the vehicle.

Tamara recall this vehicle has the auto stop start system where the engine is supposed to engage at a light, and it does not work. No one can understand why it won't engage and the dealer will not help me. The vehicle works and drives fine but this system is flawed and all over the chevy forums people are experiencing this same problem.

While driving the vehicle I stopped at a stop light and the car turned off due to the auto start/stop when idling. When I let off the brake, the car did not turn back on. After attempting to start the car again numerous times it would not. All electrical stayed on at this point. Car was towed to a chevy dealer in fenton, mi and they replaced battery and battery current sensor. Later I turned the car off and the radio and screen stayed on even after closing and opening the door. Then my car was idling at a stop light today and it auto turned off as when I let off brake it did not turn back on. All electrical stayed on. This time I was able to start the car back up but there's no telling when this will happen again. Very dissatisfied with this vehicle.

My car has begun dying in motion on city streets for no particular reason on top of the fuel economy not working correctly and causing the vehicle to run out of gas within a few days of filling it up. It will say 195 miles then jump to 207 on the fuel range.

Sunroof and gas fuel sensor affected.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle accelerated without warning. Also, the rpms increased whether the vehicle was parked or in drive. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 20,534.

After four months of ownership my engine started knocking. I took it in, they said it was a balancer shaft assembly with timing chain and sprocket. The sound is still there but the dealership started the work is done and refuses to touch it. The noise is extremely annoying but does not affect running. I am of course worried the engine may die, but with the refusal to do anything I don't want to void the rest of the warranty.

Takata recall- when I first purchased the car I notied the vehicle was having alot of trouble getting speed, and it was take a lot of time to shift. I immedietly returned to the dealership with the information, the dealership check the problems and said nothing was wrong will through the years I have gone back to them millions of times with the same problem and not once has it been properly addressed, the previous service advisor I went to for the dealership stated I needed a new transmisson/engine because the one the car has now was not good. The dealership continuted to hold off on putting a new one in until my warranty went out but the car has not been fixed. The car currently goes up to 7-8 rmp and stays there for a good 3 mins before shifting and at times does not what to accelerate which has put me in some dangerous situations.

A car can not have two batteries connected to the engine at the same time and be street legal. Thais car has that and they are mismatched batteries as well. My car was stolen by tom lehousky. He sold it at tropical Chevrolet for $15,000 and kept the money.

I have been having numerous problems with a pause in the engine when I'm speeding up onto a highway or to pass on the highway . It's most dangerous when I enter the highway. The car instead of just speeding up has been known to pause. . And then speed up. This is very dangerous because it's hard to determine when the car is going to "pause" . I was almost in an accident because I had enough time to enter the highway and the car decided to "pause " aand then go but that slight pause effects the timing of entering traffic . Also, I am near a highway with a lot of construction. The roads become uneven in parts without warning. I have to keep both my hands tightly secured to the wheel or the car tries pulling you. For instance : I was driving straight and there was a slight change in uneven pavement and my car seemed like it was trying to even out the weight of the car and it tried pulling me left and when I went to straighten out my car become uncontrollable and thank god there wasn't somebody in the right lane because it pulled me all over the highway and I couldn't control it . To be honest I have had about 6 cars and never have I felt so unsafe. Also my car is an eco car- it turns off at lights. . Sometimes it shakes when it turns bck on and also it lags to move once it does come back on. My dealership said they found a defect in it and gm will "find a solution in 45 days" . . I haven't seen any other reviews about this?.
