Ii bought my 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LS in August of 2017, in January of 2018 my first engine light warning came on with message "shift to park" came on when the car was already in park. I moved to denver, CO in June of 2018 , during my long while driving through the rockies the check engine light came on showing "stability track issues. In November 2018 while my family was driving home in a snow storm yet another engine light showing "engine powewr reduced" the car went from a 45 mph drive on the freeway because of heavy snow to almost 20 mph too slow for freeway speeds even in snow. I took it to the chevy dealership they said it was a dirty speed sensor. While driving on the highway at 70 mph I was reaching the end of the freeway when the car completely shut off, I reacted by hitting my brakes but the pedal was hard as a rock, I looked up and I was fastly approaching an intersection so I used the emergency brake got on the riight dirt shoulder, and was able to slow it down to about 35 mph before reaching the intersection where I took a sharp right turn to avoid hitiing cars in front of me and spun out. The car ishowed a message "no remote detected: it would crank but not start . Being that the car warrenty was already expired I had it towed to a local mechanics shop where they discovered a code reading "brake booster sensor" they discovered a shattered vacuum pump. I got it replaced with a new one as well as the brake sensor. I still haven't been able to start it. Because of covid-19 and my financial situation I have not taken it to a dealership. I am saving to have it towed there and hopefully repairing it but I'm sure it's not going to be wallet friendly. We were excited when we bought our first new car it didn't last long. Now hopefully a recall and some justice for us hard working people that want only a reliable car with no hidden repair surprises.
