I was stopped,went to accelerate,and sudden hard shift as it accelerated. after a few miles,lost all gears after 2nd gear.on interstate at time when lost gears & close to getting into major accident. took it to asc certified mechanic to learn that the transmission failed,wiring from battery to started burned up,battery failurem alternator failed, and ecm failed as well. repair cost approx $4600.00. service airbag light & check engine light on also & p0013 code. looked up veh history, shows recalls on some of this were supposedly performed, but hard to believe. 6 speed transmission, so gm won't honor.
Takata recall my car made a hum sound while accelerating when i just got in it on my 2 minute journey home. while going straight, the car no longer continued to accelerate and stopped on the street. after restarting the car, the engine light turned on and would still not move in any gear.

While driving the car through a intersection the car seemed to loose power. the car was able to only be moved when put into 2nd gear with the manual mode. reverse was gone. this happened all of a sudden with no issues to the transmission before hand.
Transmission failure, car will turn off on interstate or highway without warning, car will shut down while driving , roll backwards, won't accelerate. had to get towed 3 times! after new transmission , sensors and fuel pump injector , the car is still doing the same thing ! this is a safety hazard and a lack of responsibility for defected products and price gauging mechanics ! problem is still existing. i see this car is under many recalls and the transmission was built in korea!
My right front headlight (regular low beam) keeps going out and having to be replaced. my mechanic replaced it in july of this year, and again in october, and it is out yet again, not even two months later. my mechanic can't find any reason for it. in addition, my service air-bag light is on, although it's never gone off, and the entire transmission had to be replaced at about 63,000 miles. regarding the light - so far, i've been lucky that it hasn't contributed to any kind of accident, especially since deer are very active at this time of year and are very common in our area.

We only have chevy's however our malibu 2010 with only 73,000 miles while driving on the interstate at 65mph it suddenly stopped going. you can accelerate but it doesn't not go forward or back. it was late when it went out and a very dangerous situation. our car was purchased and maintained from dealer and at this mileage with no warning, no noise, no fluid leak, nothing. situation is very frustrating. i'm not sure i'm a gm fan anymore we will see how the respond to this situation.
Car just stopped without warning! very scary situation! fortunately no other car crashed into me but that would've been a likely scenario. not only a costly repair but an extreme safety issue. $3400 to repair! apparently and unfortunately i'm not alone. chevy should step up and help us all out. like many others, never a chevy again!
Power reduced engine, traction control,
Have a 2010 malibu with approximately 112,000 miles on it. car is well maintained and has had regular maintenance / vehicle inspections (including a week prior to incident). i was out running errands and had stopped at a stop light. a few minutes later as i was turning on to the highway, the car jolted forward and then refused to accelerate. fortunately, i was able to maneuver it over to the side of the highway without any problems. car could not be driven and had to be towed to my mechanic and it was determined that my transmission was shot and would need to be replaced. very costly repair that needed to be done as it is my only vehicle. seems to be an issue with 2010 malibus that needs to be addressed!!!
I was driving at a speed of 40 mph when all of a sudden i heard a high revving sound as if another vehicle was right beside me passing and soon realized that it was my car revving with the rpm gauge going above 3 and my car slowing down. moments later my passengers and i felt a sudden "jerk" and the car jetted forward only to start revving again and this time i was merely moving at about 20 mph as i was still in shock from the first revving and non-accelerating moment. after trying helplessly to get the car to move at a speed of at least 15-20 mph, i decided to stop/restart the car and try using the manual shift. it gave another sudden "jerking" movement and moved in m5 but not even 10 seconds the car started with the loud revving sound as if i were mashing gas which i wasn't and we barely made it home at about 10mph using hazard lights. we basically had to push it over 2 very small speed bumps on the way in the gate. i decided to take it to the autonation shevy dealership where i bought it but ...
