Description of the problem | With 2015 malibu stationary, overnight experienced loss of battery charge and wold not start. Upon recharge, it will now start. However, the hvac control is now inoperative. The hvac system still runs with the last settings it had. This is very similar to recall 13v567000 (chevrolet 13380) that applied to 2014 model chevrolets. It is a safety issue because one can no longer set the windshield to defrost for winter driving. Furthermore, this belongs to a chain of electrical issues the car has had - loss of battery charge on 4 occasions, engine stoppage after hard braking on two occasions with warning message to check abs system, intermittent loss of center console display panel. Obviously, if the engine stops in the middle of traffic after hard braking, this is also a safety issue. Dealer has replaced both rear battery and forward battery, however, the problem diagnosis has clearly not been done. |
