general problems of the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

My car stabilitrak comes on every other 20 mins when driving. If I try to accelerate my cars check engine light will come on and then say engine power reduced almost stopping my vehicle on the interstate I can only drive it in town under 40 mph. Diagnostic showed nothing and of course no recalls but every recall chevy has with the Malibu fits my model. Very disappointing. It has become very dangerous. Today I was headed to pick up my daughter from daycare and my brake pedal became very stiff and I could not stop causing me to roll through an intersection thankfully it was a green light and let the car roll until it stopped. I was terrified. I have not had the car long and it is a headache.

�tamara recall� I was driving to work when my check engine light came on and a warning said �engine power loss� and my car slowed down to 40mph, I was on the highway, speed limit of 65, I also got and email saying there was a problem with my engine and transmission system, I took it in to be looked at,2 codes piped up saying p1101 which is the throttle body and p2318 which is (app) gas pedal, my check engine light was turned off, it didn't come back on for a couple of days, then it turned back on, by the next morning it went off by itself! I believe this should be recall.

13 months ago I began having accelerator sensor issues. Driving 40+ mph and the check engine light came on, "engine reduced power", "stabilitrak" came on my hud. My father has a 2017 Malibu and this had just happened to him, so I knew to pull to the side of the road, shut the car off and turn it back on, but the light stayed on and the car wouldn't accelerate past 40mph and took forever to get up to speed. Took it in and they "fixed" it. I had to have it fixed 3 times in 3 months. All similar situations, driving 45+ mph. My touch screen radio also went out, and had to get a new head unit. Still to this day only one of the usb slots works. Summer goes on, no issues. October time frame, my car shut off while I was driving 60 mph for a split second. Headlights went out, radio, speedometer, all of it at 5am. It came back on within 2 seconds and the car was fine. No check engine light or anything. Had a buddy of mine run a code check and nothing showed up. A month later I had another accelerator sensor issue, driving 60+ mph. Had to drive on the shoulder of the road until I could get it to the dealership. Took it in and got it fixed for free since there was a recall. 2 months go by, we're in January 2020 now, driving 60+ and my car shows "stabilitrak" and had the same symptoms of the previous low power, and not accelerating. Turns out to be the air charge cooler. Not a week later after getting it back, driving 70+ mph and my car loses power. Had to tow it since I was in a different state. Cylinder 1 has low pressure and the charge air cooler is flooded with debris. And now chevy is telling me I have to pay for a new engine!! wtf?.

Throttle position sensor has gone bad on my 2016 Malibu it has to be a known problem because there are thousands of videos of people showing how to fix the problem and installing a new tps and pedal.

Driving my vehicle, out of no where reduced engine power mode came across my dashboard information center. The car immediately reduced its speed and allowed me to drive about 20mph (I was so thankful I was not on the highway and/or had passengers in the vehicle). It has been at the dealership now, with the explanation that the accelerator circuit board needs to be replaced; however it is on back order and they are not certain when the part will become available. So I am not even sure how to plan moving forward on a vehicle that has a car-note but I cannot repair because the part is not available. From reading the complaints this part is on a national backorder.

Driving down major highway, cel came on, vehicle went into reduced engine power mode. Scanned cel and found code for app sensor failure. Brought to chevy dealer near where car broke down and they said they would charge me to diagnose it and then charge for parts and labor. The only issue being is that the gas pedal and sensor are on a national backorder. Which means that since this is not a warranty issue with the thousand of gm vehicles affected by this issue I would have to pay for the repairs and the cost of the rental car through the dealer. There is no eta on when the part will be in (if ever) since gm has not been producing these parts for aftermarket repairs. This issue started on 12/21/18 and the dealer said it may take up to two weeks or longer to get the part, the part has still not been issued to the dealer which has several cars with this issue. I have owned several gm vehicles, my grandfather worked for gm, and I service many heavy duty gm engines through my job, but this will be the last gm vehicle I believe I will be purchasing. The quality of gm is gone immensely down and they are not worth the headache of owning one anymore.

Check engine light is on and cause is due to fuel filler pipe being faulty. The below VIN's are additional vehicles in our fleet with the same issue. 1g1ze5st1hf104298 1g1ze5st0hf257044 1g1ze5st7hf239186 1g1ze5st8hf227077 1g1ze5st2hf211389.

The listed 2016 chevy Malibu has been having �reduce engine� issue for the past 3 months no explanation for why it happens. It occures randomly, on highways, local roads, high and low speed. The check engine light comes on, but turn off after a couple of minutes, though the issue persist.

When starting to progress from a stop, the Malibu will not accelerate for several seconds, and then when it does go it, surges forward. It occurs intermittently, but increases over time. This all occurs with no check engine light. We have taken it to the dealer several times were they have kept it for a combined total of well over a month, but claim that without a check engine light, there is nothing that they can do. It appears to happen predominately during the spring/summer months, and is less frequent during the much colder fall/winter months. We are being told that there is nothing that can be done from the manufacturer and the dealer. My wife is refusing to drive the car for fear that her or our children will be involved in an accident if the car will not proceed once in a busy intersection.

Inside the car it smells like a mold(smells like do do). The engine light came on its something dealing with Cadillac converter.

Engine malfunction power down critical issue 5mph. Lack of response from general motors to correct safety issue.

Vehicle continues to have check engine light code issues that are related to sensors and computing issues. Oxygen sensors, booster sensors as well as constant recoding.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving various speeds, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The issue occurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times, but the diagnosis was unknown. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an auto parts store where a diagnostic test produced code p2097 (post catalyst fuel trim system too rich bank 1). The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 5,000.

In April 2016 I was driving and the vehicle randomly shutdown at a stoplight, it was able to make it to chevy dealership but speed would not go past 20 miles per hour and kept stopping. They called it an " electrical issue" at bill estes Chevrolet.
