STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. UPON TAKING OFF CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. IT JERKS FRONT TO BACK. CHECK ENGINE, ABS, TRACTION LIGHT, SERVICE STABILTRAK LIGHTS CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO GAS STATION CLOSE BY. TURNED CAR OFF. WAITED A BIT. CAR TURNED ON AND DROVE OFF FINE. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MOCK SINCE. HAD HOOKED TO DIALYSIS MACHINE. STATED SOMETHING ABOUT A VACUUM, BUT THEN DISAPPEARED ON MACHINE.
AT TIMES, WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL STICK IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION AND IT WILL MAKE A GROANING SOUND. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT AND RETURN THE BRAKE PEDAL TO IT'S ORIGINAL POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, WITH PASSENGERS TO ASSURE ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE, IN DEED, MAKING THIS NOISE AND CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. VERY INTERESTED IN WHETHER THERE IS A RECALL, BECAUSE MY HUSBAND'S SILVERADO DOES THE SAME THING AND IT WAS RECAL…
MY VEHICLE AT HIGH REVS WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS IT THEN BEGINS TO STALL AND LOSE SPEED. I HAD THE ISSUE INSPECTED BY MY DEALERS AUTO SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD A BLOCKAGE IN MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NO CODE HAS APPEARED FOR THIS ISSUE.
AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND STALLING AND THEN JUST SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT ACTS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ANY GAS. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, OXYGEN SENSOR, AND A HOST OF OTHER PARTS AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE TAKING IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE I BROUGHT IT FROM, THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINE SAID IT WAS A PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED I HAD THE PART REPLACED AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

I HAVE A 2014 MALIBU THAT HAS AROUND 86000 AND AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED JERKING AND MY POWER LOCKS WERE GOING UP AND DOWN CONTINUOUSLY ALONG WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE." AFTER I CAME TO A STOP, PULLED OVER TO TUN OFF THE IGNITION, MY RADIO WAS STILL ON EVEN AFTER I OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE INGNITION. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I ATTACHED AN IMAGE OF THE MESSAGE. I REALLY HOPE THAT GM HAS A RESOLUTION FOR THIS.

I HAD FOUR RECALLS DONE ON 3/17/17 AT EMERSON CHEVY IN AUBURN, ME. 15176, 12212, 13142, AND 13342. CAR HAD BEEN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHEN IT DIED ON SIDE OF ROAD. THEN ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER, IT DIES ON SIDE OF ROAD AGAIN (BATTERY NOT CHARGING AGAIN!!). PAID OVER $1,000 TO GOODWIN CHEVROLET IN OXFORD, ME TO SUPPOSEDLY FIX IT. ON 6/1/17, MY DAUGHTER WENT OFF THE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN (BATTERY DRAIN, STEERING FAILS, ETC. LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST AND WENT INTO A FIELD. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOME ONE GETS KILLED!

WHILE DRIVING STEERING SEEMS TO FEEL AS IF IT IS LOCKING UP. I HAVE TO GIVE IT A LITTLE TUG TO FREE IT AND THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO SWERVE A LITTLE. IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS HOLDING THE STEERING IN THAT POSITION, WHILE DRIVING THERE IS MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING. *TR

AT TIMES, WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL STICK IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION AND IT WILL MAKE A GROANING SOUND. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT AND RETURN THE BRAKE PEDAL TO IT'S ORIGINAL POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, WITH PASSENGERS TO ASSURE ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE, IN DEED, MAKING THIS NOISE AND CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. VERY INTERESTED IN WHETHER THERE IS A RECALL, BECAUSE MY HUSBAND'S SILVERADO DOES THE SAME THING AND IT WAS RECAL…

WHEN DRIVING CAR STARTS TO JERK. SOMETIME IT FEELS LIKE A MAJOR JOLT AND OTHER TIMES IT A SLIGHT JERKING FEELING. I'VE COMPLAINED THE 1ST YEAR I GOT THE VEHICLE AND THEN 2 YEARS LATER I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN IT WAS IN FOR SERVICE PROBLEM WAS NOT DUPLICATED NOR ANY INDICATION OF OF ISSUES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP. NO WARNING LIGHT INDICATING VEHICLE ISSUE ARE PRESENT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN TELL ME …
MY VEHICLE AT HIGH REVS WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS IT THEN BEGINS TO STALL AND LOSE SPEED. I HAD THE ISSUE INSPECTED BY MY DEALERS AUTO SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD A BLOCKAGE IN MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NO CODE HAS APPEARED FOR THIS ISSUE.
AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND STALLING AND THEN JUST SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT ACTS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ANY GAS. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, OXYGEN SENSOR, AND A HOST OF OTHER PARTS AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE TAKING IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE I BROUGHT IT FROM, THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINE SAID IT WAS A PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED I HAD THE PART REPLACED AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE A 3 YEAR THAT IS ALWAYS WITH ME IN T…
