2014 chevy malibu 2lt 75,000 miles. omaha, ne. check engine light came. hesitation in acceleration. diagnostic code p16cf - intake rocker arm solenoid valve 2 control circuit. chevy dealer has 17 on backorder. after research this appears to be a known issue, with no recall. shop ordered part 2 weeks ago. they are telling us they hope to have the part by first of february.
While driving my check engine light came on. plugged it in to see what codes it was reading both o2 sensor and well as as cam shaft,check engine litlght is still on sensing the same codes. went to 2 different garages and they are unable to find the issue. i'm unable to get my car inspected due to the issue.
Check engine light came on,stayed on,took car to be diagnosed,rocker arm solenoid valve defect,car has only over 55000 miles on it,recommend not to drive to avoid further damage,part not available anywhere,car been parked since late november.car was driven on freeway when check engine light came on,not knowing if the car was going to make it without causing damage to engine or stall before we could get to a mechanic shop.
On 11/19/19, i was driving on a side street (25 mph) when the reduced engine power light came on in my 2014 chevy malibu. the car is driveable, but at speeds higher than 35 mph, the reduced power is noticeable. i immediately brought it to the dealership (matthews hargreaves chevrolet in royal oak, mi) for repair. they identified the problem as being the rocker arm solenoid valve, but they were unable to fix it because gm is not currently making the part and it is unavailable through aftermarket. for nearly a month, i have been stuck with a car that is only barely usable. on colder days, my car has a more difficult time with even handling low speeds and i'm terrified that it's going to become completely inoperable before this is fixed. the dealership i took it to currently has 6 vehicles with the same problem, but are in non-driveable condition. the dealer has also informed me that over 50 cars around the country are having the same problem. gm has been contacted about the problem, but they have refused to do anything to help despite being aware that this is a known issue.
Bought car brand new from the chevy dealership in 2015. the check engine light comes on within a year. code 305f. replaced aux battery. 1 year later, code 305f, again. replaced aux battery under warranty. another code popped up..this was a sensor; replaced under warranty. nov 2018, again, code 305f. another aux battery replaced. here we are, dec 2019, code 305f. dealership states since we've replaced with a gel battery and both batteries are reading good but recharge, that it is the computer module on top of the battery which controls the auto stop/start and the remote start. in the almost 5 years i have had my car, it has been in the shop for this problem more than 3 times now and 2 times for hub assembly that should not have gone out at the low mileage of 42k. there is a clear problem with this 305f and the hub assembly as chevy has a service bulletin on the 305f and many chevy malibu owners have made several hundred complaints according to online sources. this is a safety issue because the car will "die"(shut off completely) while at a stop sign or light which could result in a rear end.this car, along with the other 2014-2015 are being treated as though there is no problem. i'm sick of spending $140.00 on an aux battery and wasting time for something that they know is worthy of a recall but are to cheap or just don't care about the buyer. as i write this, i am sitting at sterling mccall chevrolet in houston for the wonderful 305f code. do something about it! i was sitting at a light when the auto shut off/start kicked off and back on which caused the car to lunge forward. that's when the check engine light illuminated the first time. i drive my car because i have to and still paying it off, but i no longer feel safe in it and it puts me and my family along with other drivers at risk. i have about 2 years left on my payments.
The engine light is on and at times the car loses power! trying to get parts since october 2019 was told no one is contracted to make the part and gm has not been helpful !!
I have a 2014 chevy malibu ls. about a year ago while at a stop light the car engine shut stopped working, and all the lights came off. i had to get the assistance of a police officer to control traffic away from my car, until the tow truck arrived and towed it to the shop. i was told that the auxiliary battery was bad, and had it replaced. the car it worked well. in august of this year the car engine began shutting off, while i was driving, and sometimes after it was parked overnight. i had the batteries checked, and was told that they were bad. i live in az, and the weather here is very hot, both were replaced on august 27th and 28th, less than 2 months ago, with two new batteries. the car worked well up until this evening, when it shut down completely as i was driving into my yard. all the lights came off, and i cannot get the key out of the ignition. i am glad that it happened when i entered my yard and not while i was driving on the freeway. will tow it to the shop in the morning to find out what the problem is now.
Engine light keeps coming on while driving or stationary. i had a diagnostics test done they said it is the rocker arm solenoid. they said there is a national back order and 1 of our local dealers had 6 cars waiting for this part at the time and had already been waiting for several months. this is obviously a manufacturing defect that gm should be doing a recall for.
Have been needing a repair but the part has been unavailable for months. we need the oil control valve and part number 12633613. gm does not know when the part will be available, so no way for the car to be fixed.
Part number 12633613 is faulty and gm doesn't have a replacement part available. car has been sitting for the last 4 months.
My wife was doing 70 down one of our busier country roads in michigan and the check engine light came on followed by an engine power reduced message causing the car to decelerate down to 30mph causing cars to swerve and go around us. she could have been rear ended and extremely hurt becuase of this.
We purchased this vehicle as for safety and convenience, we are student and full time workers. we share one care and because of that we took care of the car like recommended. since october, we have been isolated, depended on uber and lyft because of gm not having the part for the vehicle. we searched everywhere, we called gm and filed a complaint, nothing was done. we paid to get the diagnosis done and said we need the oil control valve and part number 12633613. no one has it and everyone is looking for the same part. there is an issue there and gm should be held responsible. we're still paying for the vehicle. the incident had while the vehicle was in motion, as i was driving to work, i heard a loud pop and lucky i was to my job 21880 state road 7, boca raton fl 33064. i parked the vehicle and went out to check, oil leaked everywhere leaving a trail behind. called my insurance for road side assistance. we were able to purchase the off market brand which didn't last even a month! now we stuck. thank you chevy,
The check engine light came on and vehicle was taken to dealership to get a diagnostic of the problem. turns out the code is p0014 a diagnostic trouble code (dtc) for "camshaft position b - timing over-advanced or system performance (bank 1)". i was informed on september 7, 2019 at the dealership that the part was on back order but i needed to pay for the part and once the part came in and to not drive the vehicle until it is repaired. also, i would be informed and then i would come in and pay the labor fees. i've called chevrolet numerous times and have been told the part is still on back order nationwide with no estimated timeframe of when the part will come in. they stated it could be about 1 month. i started doing some research and found the 2013 model of the chevrolet malibu had a recall for this same reason. if the part is completely out nationwide for chevrolet malibu's, there is a huge problem. please help me find a way to get my car repaired.
The autostop feature has a malfunction when the car comes to a stop on down side of a hill causing the engine to shut completely off for up to 15 to 20 minutes before it cranks back up again. when this happens the steering wheel locks up and the car is able to switch gears and lights come on int he dash as normal. the check engine light appears while its in this dead state and once it cranks up as normal the light goes off. local dealerships arent able to pinpoint the exact issue and the car doesnt keep a record of the check engine code. a new battery was given once but that disnt last long before the auto stop feature malfunctioned again

My car has been serviced on time every time in dealership and was in excellent shape. on 10th june 2014, my engine just stopped while i was driving on the highway with speed limit of 70 mph. it was extremely dangerous situation for me and any accident could have happened. luckily i was able to move my car to right most lane before my vehicle completely stopped with indicators on. then an officer helped me push the car to curbside later. when the engine stopped working my car was at high speed 70 mph and there was very high risk of an accident. the mechanic at dealer told me that the number 4 vale has thrown a rod (basically piston has broken) inside the cylinder and engine is completely damaged. he said this should happen at 59,000 miles (my car mileage) . i found technical service bulletin about the issue and i firmly believe that because of the severity of the issue nhtsa should consider putting this under recall. gm told me your car is out of warranty by 30 days and even if it was faulty part they will not cover it 100%. because of faulty parts by gm, now i have to suffer an huge financial loss and bear the responsibility as gm does not care. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15368085/maliboom-faulty-connecting-rod-bearing-causing-engine-failures-in-gm-four-cylinders/

Ince i have purchased this vehicle i have had issue after issue with trim, abs, stability track, heating system, transmission, and wheel bearings. i have had the stability track fixed twice, transmission was leaking (covered under a recall). wheel bearings in rear both sides have been replaced before 80000 miles. wiring harness to wheels, the dealer ship had to splice ( i still cant see how wiring harness is not a covered component. for a manufacture based out of a state that has snow, and to provide a vehicle that has a stability sensor that gets dirty because of salt that will error is beyond my comprehension. same for the default wheel bearings one winter in michigan and they had to be replaced (also not a covered feature). trim that blows off on the express way. i lost my window trim and the front black cover. funny how the 2015 models have a screw in them but nothing for us poor 2014 owners that had an issue. i can purchase a new one at 60.00 (really its plastic). abs comes on every time i have an issue with the stability track, which is every winter it gets dirty. engine light on now so i cant auto start the car, more than likely that will be caused by the glamorous aux battery that was engineered for the lovey auto stop feature that i have no control over. have appointment with dealership to be ripped off some more....appt showed a p011 code, second time in shop to have it fixed. update: months later, abs on the driverside hub is now out. yes you guessed it the p011 engine code is back.
