Problems with 2011 Chevrolet Malibu POWER TRAIN

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet malibu. while driving, the vehicle decelerated, the rpms revved, the vehicle lost power, and a speed sensor for the engine illuminated. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where a code for the speed sensor was found. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the contact spoke with priority chevrolet (1495 s military hwy, chesapeake, va 23320, (757) 424-1811) and was informed that there were no recalls. the contact researched the issue and found a lot of the same model vehicles that were experiencing the same failures even with the transmission replaced around 90,000 to 95,000 miles. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 103,000. the vin was unknown.

81k miles on vehicle. driving at residential speeds (~ 30 mph), vehicle started suddenly downshifting, engine revving, then refusing to get out of 1st gear. i would hate to think what would have happened on a highway or crowded city street!

I recently obtained my 2011 malibu lt from superior auto in bedford, in. it is a truly outstanding machine. i was pleased with the entire ecotec 2.4 engine and fuel economy. the drivetrain is a little different topic. i was looking forward to trying the new push button shift setup. it was smooth for the first 3 weeks or so. oh by the way it barely turned 105,000 on the odometer. it started with 3rd shifting late and hard. then it was reverse not catching once shifter was engaged, making me use my brake to stop the vehicle. all of a sudden it completely stopped pulling forward or reverse. initially i assumed transmission just burned out. waited until the next morning, trying again and it engaged gear. it was ultimately short lived, once transmission warms it starts to fail completely. i'm very disgruntled and disappointed in the car company i was raised on. as well as my family for generations. not to mention, this my very first chevy buying on my own. please return my concerns please. i purchased the malibu from a local buy here pay here. this leaves me on a most aggravated note, due to ...

Only 115k miles and transmission is out, this car gets all scheduled maintenance, reverse won't engage and transmission makes noises in forward. help please

Takata recall*** at 80000 miles i was driving and then my car would not move tried reverse with no luck ended up having to call tow company to get me out of traffic with almost being hit several times . with research found out this is common and gm refuses to fix problem witch is not right should be held responsible for making and putting faulty transmission in 2010 and 2011 malibu's

Takata recall we were in motion going down a highway when the car just stop, we put it in reverse it moved when we put it back in drive would not move.the car is nine yrs old i was scare to death.

Transmission computer (tcm) failed at 87,700 miles. part had to be replaced and reprogrammed.

The vehicle started to have problems in 2016 and the check engine light would come on and off randomly and would not completely stay on to diagnose the vehicle correctly and when it would come on it kept saying it was different sensors. after replacing several sensors that were diagnosed to be incorrect and changing spark plugs and all filters and flushing several parts out the vehicle was still not running correctly. the vehicle did not have as much power as it did in the past and seemed to be shifting differently. the car progressively kept getting worse and loosing power and not shifting correctly. i had taken it to 3 mechanics in the nashville area and each of them could not figure out the problem also but all had experience with the issue and had relayed that they believed it was the timing chain from previous clients with similar issues. i then took it to the chevy dealer because it had gotten to the point that the vehicle seemed unsafe. the vehicle would not shift correctly and i would be sitting at a red light and when i went to take off the vehicle would idle until catching and ...

Driving down city street, engine speed increased and vehicle slowed to stop. would not go forward or reverse. as traffic backed up behind me, shut vehicle off for about a minute and restarted. vehicle then moved enough to get off roadway then stopped moving again. towed to chevrolet dealership, they diagnosed with major internal transmission failure, transmission needs replaced. vehicle has just over 90,000 miles, cost to repair, about $4200

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet malibu. the contact stated that the gears were grinding and made an abnormal noise. in addition, the gears failed to shift and the vehicle had to be towed to the dealer (gordon chevrolet, 1506, 31850 ford rd, garden city, mi 48135, (734) 427-6200). the dealer diagnosed that the transmission assembly needed to be replaced. the dealer also indicated that the vehicle was 190 days out of warranty. the manufacturer indicated that they would cover 50% of the cost to replace the part, but refused to completely cover the repair from the dealer. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 38,000. *tt

While driving in the city and highway, transmission started slipping, as though it was in neutral. this continued to happen with no breaks in between. vehicle would not shift out of second gear. tried turning car on and off. checked all fluid levels. tried driving in manual mode, no change. after driving for 10 minutes, conditions worsened. was almost involved in multiple accidents due to car reducing power while stuck in "neutral" mode as well as jerking forward out of no where when gas pedal was not even being pushed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet malibu. the contact shifted the gear into reverse, but the vehicle did not move. while driving approximately 35 mph, the gear shifter failed to shift into third gear. the contact was able to continue driving the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to casper toyota (904 strub rd, sandusky, oh 44870, (888) 864-2057) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. the contact later took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that a wave plate was detached and a three five piston failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. the manufacturer opened case number: 8-3962773200 and referred the contact to nhtsa. the approximate failure mileage was 97,000.

On november 1, 2017, while driving home on the expressway i hear this loud revving noise, i turn my radio off and realize it is my car making the noise and than the check engine light comes on. when i was able to i pulled over to the shoulder and turned my car off in hopes of the error clearing out. after a few minutes i turned the car back on only to find that the check engine light was still on, when it was save to do so, i pulled back into traffic with my hazard lights as i could not go over 20 to 30 mph without the rpm going up. i made it home, tried to back into my garage only to find that my car will not go in reverse. i put the car back in drive, pulled around to the front of the house and parked the car. since it was after midnight, i called chevrolet the next day and the only thing they could help me with was to get in touch with a dealership to schedule an appointment to take the car in for diagnostics as my ...
