On 4/5/2020, while driving on a side street, the car lost propulsion. It read engine power is reduced and stabilitrac had activated. This has occurred several times prior. My very first encounter was on a major highway (I-270) the car has been serviced (per recall) on two separate occasions. It has done the very exact thing at least three (3) times subsequent of the recall mandate. Every time I attempted to restart the car the motor will violently shake. I have made this complaint to general motors, prior to this latest event on 4/5/2020, my complaint had been dismissed. I am being forced to operate this vehicle; knowing it poses a serious risk of accident or death to me and other motorist. Luckily, I was on a side residential street a few blocks away from my residence. However, this was not the always the case and this is a continuous event. I live within a 3/4-mile radius of baltimore's sea-port, train & truck terminal as well as interstates I-895 & I-95's (harbor and fort mchenry tunnel). I travel the I-895 tunnel to work everyday. After several recall attempts to fix, this car is still doing the same thing. Whereas, without any warning signs, it loses engine power and stalls while in motion. Included are onstar onboard diagnosis reports and service records after the initial recall servicing of the car.
My wife purchased a new 2018 chevy Malibu on July 3, 2018. In October 2019, we received a safety recall notice (n192221960) informing my wife the Malibu had a safety issue. The notice stated: "this condition can cause the engine to stall at speed and without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. � concerned, I heeded the warning. Since then this car but our lives at risk two times. Each time another part was replaced numerous Malibu owners are experiencing this terror and nothing is being done. I have spoken to gm and the dealer to no effect. I don't believe they know how to fix it. It is past time for the government to step in.
