Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu

When vehicle comes to a stop and auto start happens, my radio shuts off. Battery sometimes does not hold charge. Could be the alternator or some kind of electrical misfire or contact. Doesn't happen every time vehicle is started.

I get routine service to my car & my engine is clicking, loudly. The check engine light continuously goes on & off & I was told by Chevrolet service department that they could not even run a diagnostics to see what the problem is because the check engine light was off when I got to the dealership. Sometimes �service battery charging system� will illuminate but it too picks and chooses when to illuminate. Sometimes it shows �battery saver activated� and this is the third battery I've purchased! the entire car will stall/shut off but the green light is illuminated to show the car is on but when I accelerate it won't budge! dangerous considering my car could stall at anytime and cause a collision. I've nearly gotten t-boned twice coming out a gas station entering a road because my car stalled in the middle of the street while traffic was coming from both directions! a service man at the chevy dealership asked me was I experiencing issues with my auto start/stop when I told him what was happening. Yes! my car picks and chooses when it wants to do it. And when it does �restart� the entire car reboots, the locks re-click, lights flicker, it'll be in drive and roll backwards until the ignition turns over! chevy or at least the service techs are fully aware of an issue and won't fix it. Sometimes the car just won't start, all the power will go out. What happens when I'm out & the entire electrical system and engine won't start after at least starting 20 minutes prior! I've already got new pistons, a new alternator, 3 new batteries & get the routine maintenance. I have a mychevy account & every month my diagnostics report, shows an issue! if I'm in an accident & my child or I are injured, who is liable because my car decides to malfunction in the middle of a busy highway? Chevrolet for neglecting to service my car because the freaking check engine light isn't on!.

It's amazing me reading all the complaints about this issue and gm hasn't issues a recall. However, I purchased a 2016 chevy Malibu used about a year ago. Within the year, I've had my acceleration pedal be faulty, my car speed will drastically reduce from 60-70mph to 20-25mph which as I'm sure everyone knows is a safety hazard. Then less than 2 weeks later, the same thing happened but this time it was the alternator. Now not even 2 months later, my stop/start is malfunctioning. If I brake and the car turns off, my �start� function does not start! I have to shift the car to park, turn the car on, then shift back to drive. All of which is dangerous! obviously, these complaints are not being read or are not being taken serious because I just read multiple complaints similar to this. On top of it all, because of everything I don't feel safe driving a car I paid for! and none of these issues are not my doing yet I'm the one in the dealership paying for it.

When stopping and auto stop kicks on the car shuts down and the check engine light comes on. Then it has to be put in to park and restarted. Turn signals and radio have no sound working and sometimes there is a steering assist warning message appears. I changed my battery several months ago and this has happened to me several times and I've also had the alternator checked and it's fine as well. After turning the vehicle off and restarting the blinker has sound and the radio works. I'm also unable. To use bluetooth services when all the above happens.

Alternator bearing is going bad. I have not replaced it yet the car is only two years old alternator should last at least seven years. I also had a new engine put in a few months ago because of the piston cracked. So many issues with the new engine in the 2016 chevy Malibu model.
