Car Stall Problems of Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid

Vehicle in motion in left hand lane, on 5 lane main road during rush hour, traffic going approx. 35 mph. As I was driving the vehicle stalled, engine light came on and a warning message said the vehicle was "slowing down" (it stalled completely). I was unable to drift into the right lane and forced to abandon my car into the center lane - used for merging from other lanes of traffic. Police responded but no report was filed. Officer suggested I leave the vehicle for my own safety & when tow truck arrived to request the auto be towed to a safe spot for removal of personal items. This situation was not only dangerous to myself but others. A crash could have been the result. According to dealer, no recall on this issue. Did have a transmission problem. Less than 10,000 miles on car approx 18 mos old. Dealer hopes gm fix will work, but I am now nervous about driving the vehicle.

My car feels like it is almost going to stall out whenever I accelerate from a stop. This has become very dangerous for me when crossing and intersection from a stop. I have almost been hit several times. I am not sure, but I think it has to do with the hybrid system. This usually only happens when the air conditioner is on, but I have experienced it with it off too. Now, whenever I come to a stop and try to accelerate, I have to push the gas pedal all the way to the floor because if I do that, it doesn't feel like its going to stall out near as bad. I am very concerned over this issue, but I cant afford to pay for fixing the issue if the dealer tries to say its not drive train or hybrid (which I still have warranty for).
