Electronic Stability Control Problems of Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

Auto/stop is having issues. When in gauged it stalls the car out and will not allow it to turn back over. I have been in traffic at a stop light several times when this has happened and almost got into an accident because of it. Also I am having an issue with my rpms jumping and the car losing power. I have replaced both the intake and the exhaust solenoid and still lose power.

While I was driving on my way to work going 45 miles an hour the steering wheel suddenly locked up on me almost as if the car was off and I lost complete control of the car resulting in crashing into a street light pole head on.

My Malibu only has 34k miles on it and is meticulously cared for. On August 10th, I went to start it. It would not start or turn on the lights. So I trickle charged it and 4 hours later when it finally turned on I had the battery checked. The battery is fine. However, the stabilitrac is not coming back on along with my cruise control and lane assist. The back up camera, back up camera lines, crash aversion sensors, and screen were not working properly for the majority of the 10th of August after the car came back on. The sreen has had issues in the past as well with not turning on along with showing the proper time, temperature, and more.

My chevy Malibu stalled out on 3 occasions now. This occurs after being at a stop and applying pressure on the gas to place the car back in motion. I was nearly struck by an oncoming vehicle on 2 occasions when the car stalled out. Would have had ample time at a green light had the vehicle not stalled. Power steering is lost when this occurs. I have to power off and repower the vehicle to get started again, resulting in smoke coming out from under the hood and a smell of burnt rubber.

Whenever it's extremely hot outside my vehicle start to act up as in the 2 front wheels would jerk like they're not getting enough power. My car would also stall out whenever it's extremely hot but the temperature gauge would still show as the car being 1/4 near cold. All of this would have at a stationary position or city street or highway position.

Driving and my car wouldn't stop because my stablitrak and abs system malfunction and now the dealer is saying I need a vacuum pump and throttle change. This is a know issues in the gm cars just seen on google that a global letter was sent out Aug of 2019 about this issues but I never received it. These cars should be recalled and we should be given our money back. I have 2017 chevy Malibu and I feel this premeditated murder because they know it's a issue and I could have lost my life July 30 2020 at 959pm.

Vehicle transmission issue. Stabilitrak service warnings. Acceleration issues.

During highway speeds, engine light comes on, esc warning comes on, vehicle loses power and shudders. Was merging onto freeway when engine light and esc light came on, causing vehicle to reduce power, forcing an immediate reactions to avoid collision. Dealership says issues cannot be found.

When my car cut off at the light and when it try to start back up it stale for a second and says stabilize then start up. When I start the car up it says the same thing. It erase all my favorite on the radio and reset everything. Been doing this for about two weeks now.

Everytime I stop at a red light or brake the vehicle(when coming to a stop in traffic)the car completely cuts off. The alert steering assist is reduced, drive with care constantly comes on whenever there is an auto stop and the car restarts. The radio and air would also turn off when auto stop is activated. This turn off also causes the radio screen to go black for a short time until it restarts. Which is a big problem and dangerous when driving in traffic. The normal auto stop would be somewhat silent, but when it turns back on now it hisses and turns back on. I also hear something as if water is passing through pipes after and/or during auto stop sometimes. Lastly, last night(7/8/20)I attempted to turn on my car and back out of my driveway. The car turned on but the check engine light came on. It did not allow me to shift into any gears or accelerate. I noticed the lights that illuminate,d,r,l,etc. Was not illuminating at that time when I attempted to shift gears. I then turned the car off but it stated shift to park. Note the car was in park. After I let it sit in park for a while I tried restarting the car and it restarted. The car shifted in to gears and accelerated. Note: the car allowed me to move the shift in and out of gears but it was not catching. The stopping issue wit the steering reduced alert started about two weeks ago(around June 25,2020). Hearing the water sound began around the the beginning of March 2020. Lastly the shifting issue began last night,7/8/20. When driving on the highway I do the speed limit 60-70 mph. On the city streets I drive the speed limit ranging 25mph-40 mph.

Car was driving fine, then all of a sudden the power steering went out. Esc light came on as well as the power steering and traction light. Became almost impossible to turn the wheel. Especially while going slower.

Loss of power a lot. Auto stop feature makes a strong fuel smell. Burning and smoke coming from front right side under hood. Bought this car a month ago.

Esc warning on dash coming on will driving and turning forward or backward. Hvac controller not responding to commands, hvac resistor and blower motor wires getting very hot and not blowing fuses when driving with ac or heater running. Hvac resistor blowing out. High motor oil consumption , every 1000 miles its low a quart.

Was driving down busy street and then a service esc light came on my car and started loosing power to car and the dash board kept flashing service esc and power steering light. It kept doing the same thing like every minute. Even it finally starts running out starts jerking but then it looses power again but goes neck on.

Drove to appointment with no issues or indications of anything wrong. Finished appointment and started vehicle, the check stabilitrak warning came on. Pulled into lane & vehicle immediately reduced power, unable to accelerate rapidly and almost causing an accident. Warning light for engine overspeed came on. Engaged cruise control, would not disengage when braking, or by steering wheel control without several attempts. Was able to slowly increase speed to 50 mph, made it home via hilly secondary roads (max 50 mph) and stopped vehicle (brake; still in drive), engine tried to go to the engine rest mode prior to shifting to park. Shifted to park, engine tried to re-start and wouldn't automatically disengage attempting to turn over. Shut off the engine and pulled key. Would not re-start, but would crank. When letting go of key in the steering wheel column, the engine would still try to turn over on its own with a loud high pitched whine. Had to quickly remove key entirely. I have video clips together of this incident, available by email. Had new battery delivered overnight, did not fix issue. Had vehicle towed to garage and will cost $12,100 to fix by replacing long block. Please help - this is incredibly distressing.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact also stated that the brakes would not engage when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the abs warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the battery needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer where it was diagnosed with the battery needing to be replaced again. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 16v272000 (electronic stability control). The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

The main issue with my vehicle is that when the vehicle is parked and I turn the car off the front panel will say that the vehicle is not in the parked position and won't allow the car to turn off. I have to push the start button on and off multiple times and shift the car in and out of park before the sensor can gauge that the car is in the parked position and will allow the car to be turned off. This often takes 5-20 min. When this happens the radio won't turn off, the dash board won't turn off and carr won't shut down. Also the car often gives me incorrect readings on the dash board.

Check engine light on and check stabilizertrak and reduced engine speed diagnostic test says misfire and vvt sensors sensors replaced everything still on car lost all speed and power on highway.

The esc light comes on and the steering gets kinda stiff like it's going to lock up and then it flashes engine power reduced as I was at a stop sign I pressed on the gas to go and the car took off as normal then as I was turning onto the other street to enter the freeway on-ramp the esc light started flashing the steering began feeling like it was going to lock up and the engine power reduced started flashing.

The dash has abs, tch and security light comes shortly after car has been started with in scound comes a beeping sound were all three lights stay on until engine is cut off. The light bulbs has melted plastic cover on the front turn signal/park lamp drl. When speed is increasing on high way free way car tends to pull left on its own.

The car ran well but not for long, after like 21/2 years the battery had some issues. The car did not start at all. I ended buying a new one, even though the old one could be charged. Like 9 months ago same situation battery not good. As if no electricity is throughout the system, bought a second battery. In 2 occasions the car did start properly. Two weeks ago driving, the car stopped at a traffic light because it just turned off for no reason! driving again the next week it stopped in the middle of the road. I had to pay for a tow truck. The car has not started properly but it then shuts down when I get it started, driving in my parking lot. I've had to push it back to my parking spot. At the end this car has left me in the road a lot of times.

Had to replace head light bulbs has melted plastic cover dashboard has warning lights that come on and stay on.

Since 2018 my brake lights will come on without touching the brakes. When this happens, my cruise control won't work. I can tap the brakes and they'll go off for about 3-5 seconds and then come back on. After awhile, the esc and traction control lights will pop up on my dashboard. I've had the sensor replaced/reset 5-6 times since August of 2018, with the most recent June 2020. It worked fine that day, but the next day they all came back on. Today, it was fine, but later will probably be another story. ,.

As soon as car is turned on, a/c will not blow when I turn the knob and no matter what buttons I push. Not sure why it decides to do this sometimes but not every time. I have seen this as an official recall, but it says my VIN shouldn't be effected. This is a reoccurring issue that happens at random.

On several occasions starting a month ago my car when stopped shuts completely off when I disengage auto stop, and then it stalls.

While driving down the street I got an alert on the dash indicating �engine power reduced� check engine light and what I believe is the traction control light came on. Can't accelerate. Can't go more than 30 mph. No open recalls in my vehicle, but seems a lot of people having same issue?.

Vehicle occasionally loses power when in traffic or reduced speed, stabilitrak malfunctions consistently, initiating "limp mode", power steering went out this morning as my speed reduced.

I woke up and went to the store and when I came out to start the car it didn't start. The lights and radio came on and everything work except windows will not go up or down. The message center then showed message "service power steering" car wont start now and battery and everything else is good and new.

Put car in gear. The button stays in and key won't come out. The car isn't engaged so it can move on it's own.

My vehicle has approx. 91,500 miles. Upon starting the car recently, an error appeared saying "service traction" and "engine power reduced. " the vehicle could not go above 35 mph and the traction control system was disabled. Upon inspection by the dealership, they discovered the sunroof drain tubes had shrunk and water had accumulated in the floorboard, eventually leading to corrosion. I have researched this issue and found several other drivers reporting issues with the drain tubes becoming disconnected and causing leaks. I have also found several instances where drivers lost engine power on the highway. If this were to happen, it could easily cause a crash.

When I bought it worked good for bout 2 days and I started noticing a light would be blinking like the engine light and a light with like a exclamation mark in side of like a bowl and the speed would reduce and then it would just quit even while your in traffic at a stop light ,going up a hill it would do it just when it got ready.
