Rocker arm malfunction. This car has repeatedly shut off while driving without warning and the rocker arm has been the only code. I saw this has been a problem for the 2014-2015 Malibu and impala models and this should be recalled due to faulty equipment and not to be repaired at the cost of the owners.

My car has the auto shut off and when im driving it sometimes just dies while im driving with no warning and no power steering to pull over. Also when im at a red light and the auto shut off comes on when it starts back up all my head lights turning signals radio everything goes off and comes back on when the car restarts then when u go to take off it will die and everytime I push on the gas it hesitates to go if it dont die.

When turning off engine, multiple times had "shift to park" warnings and car does not shut down. Sometimes goes away after 10 - 20 seconds. Other times must restart car, place transmission back into park, open drivers' door and then turn off. Told by dealer that it is a known problem for multiple model years and vehicle models with multiple technical bulletins issued but no recall. Please review and require a recall if appropriate.

Code p2646 (among others) came up. This impacts driveability, safety and mileage performance. Problem was diagnosed by 2 separate mechanics, including Chevrolet dealer. First mechanic replaced recommended part twice but issue persists. No warning prior to the issue appearing. Gm issued a special coverage adjustment for the Chevrolet Malibu 2014 model (n192289160), but not the 2015 even though original bulletin (pip5527k) says the issue applies to both 2014 and 2015 models.

2015 chevy Malibu with 2. 5l engine with rocker arm oil control valve malfunctioning. Check engine came on Thursday may 6, 2021 and had it diagnosed Monday may 10, 2021. 2014's have a recall, but 2015s do not and my mechanic can't even find a gm part to fix this.

I was pulling out of parking lot when my car gears started to jerk then a "service power steering" icon flashed on the dashboard. My engine light read a p305f code which only told me it was a problem with the dual battery control module (dbcm) I then took the vehicle back to my local dealership and there diagnostics just said to replace the main battery. However I replaced both batteries and car still had the same problem. I did my personal research and I ended up replacing the battery module yet car still had same issue. I've already been to the dealership twice and can't afford to keep spending money on diagnostic test. I also noticed that this was a common issue for this vehicle and that multiple people had filed complaints about this particular problem. This problem happens to me at random times while driving or while pulling out of parking lot and is a major hazard if driving on busy street or highway. When it does the auto stop at a red light the car jerks and sometimes gears will lock up and transmission will experience problems as well. Other times the car just jerks and a service power steering icon will display on the dashboard.

I have taken my car to 2 different mechanic shops to try and find the issue that I am having with acceleration. The car is not accelerating and no one knows what the problem is. It is currently with beck chevy and I am now at the $700 mark and my car has yet to be fixed. When driving the car will just stop accelerating and I have been stuck in the middle of a busy highway twice.

On January 15th. At 08:26am while driving to work my check engine light came on. On January 19th. The car was dropped for service at westgate Chevrolet in edmonton, ab. After two weeks of testing and multiple part changes the dealer established that my car has a faulty "intake oil control valve". This is a well known failure of the gm ecotec 2. 5 lkw engine. Gm has been trying to redisgn the part since September of 2019. As of today may 20th, 2020 the replacement part has still not been made available and my car has been sitting at the dealer for 4 months now. Multiple owners of 2014 and 15 Malibu's and impala's are suffering the same faith. Lately gm corporate has not even returned e-mails from my dealer as to when the new part will me made available. This is an absolutely unacceptable behavior on part of gm.

In sept of 2019, my check engine light came on for my 2015 chevy Malibu. I took it to the dealership and it ran the code p2646, and the they told me that I needed the gm part 12633613. They attempted to order it, but said it was on backorder and had been for a while and they would look into it for me. Here it is, Feb of 2020 and still no part. Gm that the part has been discontinued and there is no eta for a new part. They told me it was okay to drive, but it has a rough idle, power surges, it can barely accelerate and it has stalled on me several times. They keep telling me OH it's a "part delay". No, it's not ! you don't make the part anymore. There are thousands of people who have the 2014-2015 Malibu's & impala's with the same issue. They need to issue a recall and fix these cars. My car is less than 5 years old & there is no reason that they shouldn't have a very simple, $60 part for it.

Sept 2019 the check engine light came on in my 2015 Chevrolet Malibu. Dealer determined part# 12633613, rocker arm control valve, is the source of the check engine light and needs to be replaced. I can not get the part thru dealer or aftermarket. I am in contact with the dealer on a weekly basis and there is no eta on obtaining the part. I filed a case with Chevrolet also and they also have no eta. Every two days a chevy rep calls me to tell me there is no updated information. This part affects Malibu's & impala's and if you look online there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people that need the same part. There are even online forums dedicated to this particular part problem. Obviously there is a problem with the design of the part for this many people looking for replacements. This is a defective part and Chevrolet apparently is not doing anything to fix it.

Six days later while backing into the driveway, the interior dashboard lighting features for the pictured rear vision and other lighting in the vehicle shut off; and the back-up camera never came on.
