Description of the problem | I have been having problems with my 14 malibu every since i bought it certified pre-owned from the dealer. The car rpm will get stuck around 3000 if i'm cruising and press the brakes to decelerate which has caused me several time to have to pull to the side of off the road so that i don't hit anything. In order to make it stop i have to press brakes then press the gas to make the rpm act right. It has always had a bad jerk when i am driving and the car rpm is near or at a steady 2000 it would jerk until i speed up or slow down. I've taken the car to the shop several times and paid for diagnostic and diagnostic and still there was no good new all because they couldn't make the issue reoccur. My first experience with these issues was about a month after buying the car and has happened every since with my last occurrence being 08/13/2017. I am about ready to give up on chevy and change makes because they seem to not want to help at all with the issues i'm having. |
