general problems of the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

Shift to park issue - car would not go into park and message kept coming up on dash display. This happens intermittently and more often now. Dont know if vehicle is in park or not. Battery was drained and replaced. Gm car dealer mike savioe and gm both say bulletin 19-na-206 will not be honored because 2019 Malibu is now out of warranty. Gm knew this issue on 5/21 and will not help out on correcting this issue.

The car stalls out an sometimes deads an say no key fab. The ecm has been reprogram even before the car was sold to me back in 2019.

I get a warning saying that the car is not in park when it is in park, when I am driving or stopped at a stop sign or red light the engine will shut completely off as if the car was in park. When I take my foot off the break it will start back up as if the car had just been started by pushing the engine start/ stop button. It’s really scary when I have my kids I. The car with me.

Throttle body hose comes lose causing car to stall or shut off while driving, engine light come on saying engine power reduction issues.

Numerous times while driving my car both my son and I have experienced the same issues. Trying to get on the highway and pressing the gas pedal the car isn’t responding appropriately to the level of which the gas is being pressed. It isn’t accelerating appropriately. Than at stoplights or just trying to make a left hand turn from a stop position. You take your foot off brake and press the gas to go and it rolls a bit and you’re pressing the gas to go and the car isn’t responding. It’s just sitting there. Like paused. Then all of a sudden the car engages and takes off. It is very dangerous to not have the car respond to pressing the gas. And I don’t want to get into an accident because I’m trying to make a turn and get hit cause I’m just sitting there. Rather than it going when I’m pressing the gas. I am not getting any codes popping up on the dash. So the dealership has nothing to look at other than me saying this is happening to me and my son. I’m finding issues similar to this on previous models. But nothing on the 2019 that I can find. And with no error codes registering. But the issues occurring is highly concerning to me. There isn’t just one date this has occurred. This has happened now many times over the last 6mos.

Driving along the interstate the car suddenly lost power. I was able to pull over and restart car and drive like nothing ever happened. Then once I parked the car at my destination the car would not start 10 minutes later leaving me stranded in an unfamiliar city. When trying to start the car it would click and the dic would display batter saver active following ems following power steering. No check engine light was on in the vehicle before this incident. I was stranded in an unfamiliar city with no one around to help. After asking a random stranger for a jump the car started and allowed me to get home. No dealership can convey the problem with the car, everyone says there's nothing wrong with it. I have had the vehicle for about one year now with no problem up to now. The car often backfires and even completely cuts off at red lights (not from the auto stop feature). This is dangerous.

Numerous accumulated problems, all have complaints already on NHTSA site here. First, start/stop malfunction, when it is active when stopped vehicle will stall when it tries to restart when you take your foot off brake and it’s troublesome to restart at times, when that happens lights on dash all come on (warning lights) and radio/entertainment resets as well. Second, the traction control light on dash is on. The warning displays to have traction control system serviced, cruise control is disabled as a result, it’s been to the dealer for both above problems the start/stop problem they say they can’t get car to duplicate although it happens to us almost daily if not numerous times per day. This morning driving home from work the intake charge tube that attaches to intake keeps popping off and engine goes to reduced power mode on highway or wherever driving not safe at all. Saw a voluntary recall from gm going to contact dealer about tomorrow when open. Stereo resets often, completely shuts off and resets while driving at random. I also get the rushing/sloshing water noise other people have reported as complaints when coming to a stop, I read in forums that it’s something to do with low coolant but not low enough to turn on low coolant warning light. Gm really needs to address this stop/start and traction control needing service light problems as I read all over the internet of owner’s complaints of same problems I have. Dealerships don’t want to do anything with the cars unles the issue a recall because it comes out of their pockets. So many complaints I read owners keep reporting that dealer “cannot reproduce identical problems” because they don’t want repairs coming out of their pockets only out of gm. I’m going to start filing formal complaints with gm until they get tired of hearing from me and fix some of this stuff or deem it a lemon and get rid of it finally.

I bought the car from variety auto in abingdon va, and then I had the accident on may 3rd 2022 I took it to the collision center and then after they repaired the body they noticed the airbag lights and the restraint system lights came on also, and when ramey’s started doing the work for the air, module and wireing harness and air bag thay noticed that the wireing harness was not working properly and the air bag was cut completely out they put diodes in the wireing to keep the lights off, they sold me the car saying that there was no airbag deployed but we later found out that it was, and also when I had the accident it didn’t deploy and that’s why is because there wasn’t a airbag in it to start with, if you need anything else we have all the proof of deception by someone and if you need anything else here is my phone number (276)722-0572 you can call me anytime, thank you!!! I tried to up load all the pages and everything but it would only let me do the first paige, so if need these let me know and I can probably get them faxed to you, thank you!!!.

“shift to park” message appears on dash information screen and prohibits the vehicle from fully powering off and can cause battery to fully discharge. This appears to be a known problem, as referenced in gm TSB 19-na-206.

I have no brake lights when applying the brakes and cruise control no longer works due to service esc message on display. I was advised by replacing the battery this would clear the esc but it did not. I believe the service esc message is tied into the brake lights and cruise control not working.

All gauges shut off and turn back on while driving tire says it is flat and it is not car shuts off completely, resets, and turns back on while driving braking system not working code steering wheel jerks off to the side aggressively on its own while foot is on brake car hesitates to start up and hesitates to accelerate sometimes there are warning messages sometimes no warning steer assist turns off and shows message and jerks my wheel sideways ac control board only works half the time entertainment and gps system blacks out randomly and doesn't turn back on the unpredictability is dangerous. The performance of this vehicle is unacceptable. Having not one chevy service center properly repair this issue poses a extreme safety risk as the car's power toggles randomly and has to be restarted multiple chevy service centers have not given me definitive diagnostic. No one has fixed the issues. They only get worse daily. The service centers charge me money to "grease wires" and send me home every time.

Unable to leave vehicle because the car thinks the gear shift is not in park. The car is actually in park . I’ve tried wiggling the gear shift, turning the car back on several times and putting into gear and back in park. Nothing seems to work and it goes off whenever it decides to go off. This is causing a safety issue for me personally since I can’t leave the car. This started about 2months ago.

The throttle body charge pipe popped off there was a recall that on this car says it’s fixed. We replaced o ring and clip on charge pipe drove car. When we sped up to pass a car the charge pipe popped off car shut off. We had to push the car out of traffic. The car would not start. Error code check engine and engine power loss. Three hours under a houston TX bridge got a tow. Only to be told that the gasket and clip needed to be replaced. Replaced again gm parts, car still can’t go up hills or sped up. Charge pipe will pop off. The throttle body was checked and the lip on throttle body is still good. But there is too much oil build up on throttle body it appears and the charge pipe can’t stay on. Causing engine failure. This almost got us killed on the highway. Very unsafe please help.

While sitting at stop lights the car has shut itself completely off and restarted itself. This has happened atleast 6 times in the past 24 hours.

Get “shift to park” message when car is placed in park and turn off ignition. This seems to be a common error reported widely on 2016 through 2020 Chevrolet vehicles. I have even seen service bulletins mentioned. Why has Chevrolet not recalled this since it seems to be a weak switch used? this is not covered under the bumper to bumper warranty since I have 54,000 miles on a two year old car. This shouldn’t be failing after two years. Maybe after 10 years but not two!.

Car has engine light on. It shows engine power reduced. It�'s not going over than 30miles an hour. Car has only 41k miles.

After car is turned off and in park, the dash light states to "put in park" even though the car is in park, the light won't go away until the shifter is wiggled back and forth, and sideways way too many times, I am afraid the battery will run down if left like that, with the light still being on.

The 2019 Malibu own which is an lt with a sunroof and heated front seats, has had an issue with the battery connection where as the car was brand new out from the shop. And then a week or two later I got into my car to look for my headphones, then I just wanted to sit inside my brand new car for a moment. And then I turned the radio on to look at the time, and then the gauge cluster came up with a message saying battery voltage low. So then later we got an email from chevy talking about the issue and how chevy would like to fix it for us. So they fixed it. But I would like for other people to know about this. Also! I had a problem with my sunroof which isn't a safety concern but it's worth noting. So as we got the car. We didn't know why the sunroof wouldn't open while we were driving or anything. And so when we got home we tried figuring it out and at the time it would only open up if you have your foot on the brake, in drive without moving. Got it fixed after trying to get them to fix it. And then they messed up the headliner in the car and had to get that replaced and then they want to try and charge us for using their loaner cars when they messed up the headliner. Like wtf.
