Car is burning more fuel than usual and it is hesitant to take off; like the turbo is no longer working.
Emgine reduced speed has been comin on for a while on most chevy models. the car immediately slows on the freeway during traffic and anywhere. the seatbelts do not always attach.
On november 27 ,my wife was driving the malibu at 55 mph on the highway when she experienced loss of engine power,down to 20 mph. . traffic backed up and came to screeching slow down. she ferried for her safety and pulled over in heavy traffic. she shut engine off and restarted vehicle to continue drive home at no more than 30 mph. contacted dealer and they could not get to it till following week. she did not drive it anymore. diagnosis at dealer was bad accelerator switch. they did not have any and said it maybe months because of this big problem. my car was down 15 days for this problem befor it was fixed.
While driving on a city street approaching a roundabout the engine warning light came on, the car reduced it's engine power, and the traction control sensor came on
Engine light on continually and never went off; i drove to dealer who said the gas cap area of fuel line was leaking; needs to be replaced they said and tried to order it from gm but they do not have the part; they ordered the part and cannot tell me when it is coming. they could not advise me on the safety of this condition. i know someone who had a similar problem with their model car. can i drive this or should the dealer give me a loaner? i am still under the 3 year bumper to bumper warranty. we have always had problems filling the car and it is never completely full. we have brought it to dealer several times about this with no advise. they did recalibrate one time. they said it was an issue with the dash board reporting less gas than is in the tank. please let me know about this as we continue to drive the car.

I purchased the 2017 malibu in 2017 and currently have about 24000 miles on it. in the past three months (since december 2018) my check engine light has turned on and been serviced for the code p2097: post catalyst fuel trim system high limit. i was told after the first visit to the dealership that it was a software problem that needed updating. however, it should not be turning on every few hundred miles. the light turns on after highway travel. my specific malibu also needed the hydraulic valve lash adjusters replaced due to the exhaust valves not sealing, this was supposedly corrected in december as well.
I purchased a 2017 chevy malibu in april 2017 with 11 miles. in less than a month, the car started having issues. took the vehicle into the dealership for inspection with the initial problem being the o2 sensor they updated the software and it was noted gm would monitor the concern and has been an ongoing issue since. the problems are as follows: dashboard goes blank while driving, codes: p0036, p0037, p0138, p0141, p2097 x3; p2122, p2127, p2138, accelerator pedal replaced x3 within a two month time frame with throttle harness being replaced on the third time, reduced engine power to 20 mph while driving, scanning noise coming from engine while vehicle is both in the on/off position; still have no explanation of the problem. the sound will sometimes occur before reduced engine power. while the car was under warranty, the issues were not addressed and were no longer gm's concern after the warranty expired. i filed a bbb claim to help resolve the ongoing problems with the vehicle. the bbb awarded the decision that gm is to repair any issues with the throttle, accelerator pedal, and emissions with four attempts to do so.
Engine light came on, lack of power to engine. was driving 68 mph when it occurred on georgia 400. car was taken to dealership, and diagnosed with a pedal sensor issue. the part is on back order because so many malibu's have this issue. this should be a recall issue
For 2 years now i can be driving and i get a warning that the engine has been reduced only allowing the vehicle to go 25 mph. i was on the highway (81) and almost lost my life when the truck behind me almost didn't stop in time. i have been to the dealer and understand the part i need is back ordered with no indication as to when the part will come in and i cant get a replacement vehicle. i use my vehicle for work and cant be without transportation. onstar emails me every time stating there is a problem with the engine/transmission.
A traction control light came on then warning reduced power mode and engine light while car was in drive on highway 2 times
Both mine and my wifes 2017 malibu goes in to reduce engine power mode with stability tack light on and service engine light on.and when it happens on the freeway car just drops to 25 miles an hour.very dangerous
My vehicle would not start. the starter would try and turn the engine over for 10 seconds then the starter would shut off. this happened on 3/7/18 and the vehicle was towed in for service. the fuel pump 'control module' was replaced at the dealership and i took posseion of the car on 3/10/18. on 3/12/18 the vehicle had the same issue with no fuel pressure and resulted in the car turning off while driving and i was unable to start the vehicle again. it was then towed to another dealership which is now replacing the 'fuel pump' due to a gm tsb communication 16-na-225.
Car do not accelerate
After filling vehicle fully with fuel the fuel gauge does not register full. my dealership contacted gm and they said it is a "non-issue" but the dealership disagrees since they have had numerous vehicles with the same complaint.

While driving engine light came on i called on star diagnostic revealed injector error
Inaccurate gas meter or other fuel components. the meter does not match the reading on the mychevrolet app. i just filled my tank until the pump stops and the meter reads full in my car. the app reads 78% thus i do not know how much gas i really have left. this has been an issue since the day i purchased my car on 12/10/2016. after 2 or 3 visits to my dealer, they fixed the problem after calibrating the meter months ago and it was fine until today. today 11/27/2017, the meter is now inaccurate again. i do not have this particular problem with any of my other chevrolet vehicles. there are many complaints relating to this vehicle's gas meter and the car in general if you check chevrolet's facebook page. this can cause someone to run out of gas before expected in an inconvenient place possibly causing a serious accident and injuries. this needs to be recalled immediately before this becomes a major problem.
