Vehicle has vibration and makes a humming noise at all speeds. When hard braking the vehicle pulls to the right. Took vehicle to a local dobb's tire and auto center and then diagnosed vehicle with excessive right, front movement at the transmission. Possibly an internal stub axle? repair shop advised that there was a technical service bulletin from October 2019 stating the same issue. Repair shop also had another 2016 Malibu in for an oil change and upon their multi-point inspection they also found excessive movement with the right, front axle at the transmission.
Stabilitrak code appears on dashboard - causing low or no acceleration, shaking when still and while in park. Meter reads as a �misfire code�; total tune up was conducted (replaced all plugs & wiring/coil pack); was stable for about 3 days and then �stabilitrak� code reappeared with car shaking again.
First time this happen I was on the freeway going around 70 mph when the check engine light when on and a massage saying engine power is reduce the car begun to shake and speed when down to around 40 mph from 70 mph in seconds, I keep accelerating but the car was not picking up any speed even though my rpm when up to 4 and 5 my car wasn't going any faster. This happen over and over again. I took the car back to the dealer first couple of times they said nothing was wrong with the car. But the issue continue now after so many times they figure out that some sensors need to be replace and also the accelerator pedal was not working. I really hope this is fix.
