I have a 2013 malibu lt with 52,000 miles on it. last month on the 20th of november service power steering warning started to flash on the information system. when that happens my doors would lock and my car would stall. however; unlike most other consumers who are having this problem my steering wheel didn't get tight and i did not lose control of my car. i could not do more than 40mph and sometimes if i hit a bump in the road service power steering would come on and the doors would lock and the car would stall and then go back to normal. i took my car in to genesis chevrolet to see what the problem was. they had my car for about a good 4 to 5 hours. they then came and informed me that they could not find anything wrong with my care because, no codes where popping up and the mechanic tried 4 times but could not duplicate the situation i was having. it is now december 11th and i am still having the same problem. i just drove to work today and went to make a right turn down the street leading to my ...

While at a stop light on a very busy city street the engine stopped running and the car shut off. my foot was still on the break and the car was in drive. i put the car in park then restarted the car and it started running like it should, there was no warning lights displayed before, during, or after this happened. in another incident while i reversed the car the engine shut off without any warning lights, i had to put the car in park again and restart it to get the engine running again.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet malibu. while driving 70 mph, the vehicle completely shut off without warning. the contact was able to coast the vehicle off the highway and attempted to have the engine jumpstarted. once the vehicle was jumpstarted, the vehicle experienced total electrical failure. also, the key would not eject from the ignition switch. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the battery was drained. the mechanic charged the battery. while driving home, the failure recurred as the contact pulled into the driveway. after the failure occurred, the check engine warning indicator flashed. the contact called hall chevrolet buick gmc (385 w dallas st, canton, tx 75103, 903-567-8148) and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle and no further assistance was offered. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 129,000.

Both the transmission and engine went out at the same time. i took it to apple valley motors in martinsburg wv, a chevy dealership. they contacted the third party warranty company (portfolio) and they made the dealership replace the transmission with a junkyard transmission. but when i took it in the check engine light was on and i assumed that it was on because of the transmission. but also assumed that because it was a dealership with special trained technicians that they would check all the codes and clear them before they returned the vehicle to me. well they didn't and the check engine light was still on when i picked it up but thought maybe i had to drive it a couple miles to reset the light. well the light did go out but came back on about a week later and when i took it back to the dealer they called the warranty company and they said that because now that the extended warranty that i had, expired 8 days prior that there is nothing they can do. i called both gm and chevy and explained the situation and neither ...

Using turn signal or power windows the vehicle dies and quickly restarts. all power is lost momentarily. happens when battery voltage is below 13.5 volts. loss of power steering almost caused an accident twice. it was not wet out or raining, had been dry for several days so weather does not seem to be triggering the issue. service stabil trak warning also flashed in and cleared upon power disruption.

Was driving along about 35 mph when car suddenly shuts off and power steering is gone causing me to almost go off the road. very dangerous please make the recall public.

Car was jerking while accelerating happened for about 5 mins then check engine light came on

The timing chain in the engine is bad and there is a loud noise. the car shuts down at a stop and will not always restart. also the gps/radio screen started going off and on and then completely went dark.

Car shuts off completely while driving. electrical system is sporadic then shuts down.

The a/c blows out hot air. since i've been consistently blowing it or trying to because it is summer, my car starting jerking. it might work every now and again. sometimes, once i'm slowing down and the air is supposedly blowing, my car cuts off on me while i'm in drive. this has happened while parking the car as well as coming to a stop at a red light or stop sign. i needed to defrost my windows, it cut off on me a red light.
