I own a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu ltz and I can be driving down the highway and the �service stabilitrack� light will come on, then it will say �reduced engine power�. I will have to pull over, turn car off, and let it sit for a minute or two, then crank back up and those lights will go off, but the service engine light will come on. Sometimes I have to do this every 5-10 miles, depending on the distance of my destination, which poses a safety issue for me, especially if I'm traveling at night. This mostly happens when I'm driving on the highway.
This was 3rd time I took the car into the dealer because the service engine soon light appears randomly and the ignition fails to turn on. I have to turn the key a few times to get it started. My car was seen thurs, was told no issue was found and manager would drive car home in evening to test. Called today, Friday in afternoon since I didnt get a call, was told it was the battery. Had to pay $260 for battery. The past two other visits, I was told battery was good and now its bad. . . Was just leaving the dealer, I stopped at first light and notice the check engine light is on! returned back to dealer and was told that it was something else. Nothing to do with battery yet according to them, they said it was because of the battery. My car was left for the 4th time in dealership so they can look at it. A code appeared and tech told me it had to do with the auto stop! this has been going on since end of Jan!! please investigate. I have seen a lot of complaints about this issue. . I am the original owner. I bought car oct 2015. I dont understand how the battery had bad cells all of a sudden.
