Potential Consequences:
I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2017 AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY PEDAL SENSOR NOW WHAT WILL BE 3 TIMES. EVERY TIME I HAD THE PEDAL SENSOR REPLACED IT WAS DUE TO A MESSAGE 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' THAT WOULD COME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER VERY QUICKLY WHETHER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR MAIN STREETS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. SOMETIMES THE MESSAGE WOULD CLEAR OUT, BUT NOT TOO MUCH LONGER WHILE DRIVING, THE MESSAGE WOULD POP BACK UP AND I WOULD LOSE POWER AGAIN. EACH TIME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART, IT WAS NEVER COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THIS DEFECT IS BEYOND DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE HARM NOT JUST TO THE DRIVER, BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. THE CAR'S ENGINE POWER REDUCES TO 20-25MPH FROM 60-70MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ME CAUSE TO BE REAR ENDED.

Defect Description:
SUSPENSION
Potential Consequences:
THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM REAR OF 2016-2018 CHEVY MALIBU OF ALL TRIM TYPES, PARTICULARLY AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN ONE SIDE OF REAR OF VEHICLE GOES OVER SMALL BUMPS. GM PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN RECOMMENDING THAT DEALERSHIPS AND SERVICE TECHNICIANS ADD A WASHER TO TOP OF BOTH REAR SHOCKS AND POSSIBLY REPLACE REAR SUSPENSION KNUCKLES. MANY DEALERSHIPS GIVE CUSTOMERS 'THE RUNAROUND', REQUIRING THEM TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND REPAIRS, PERFORMING OTHER REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS THAT DO NO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND TELLING CUSTOMERS TO JUST DEAL WITH IT. THIS REAR KNUCKLE PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER, CAUSING DELAYS OF APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS FOR THE SAFE AND TIMELY REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE. WITHOUT THESE WASHERS ON THE REAR SHOCKS, THE TOP OF THE SHOCK MAKES PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE STRUT MOUNT, CAUSING THE SUSPENSION KNUCKLE TO FAIL, WHICH THEN CAUSES BUSHINGS TO FAIL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT CHEVROLET IS LARGELY IGNORING.
