What owners wrote
Had a car accident on september 17, 2019 my car stalled while making left turn had this problem since I purchased this car also my tires continued to go on flat
When driving the car it will lose propulsion and power. At one point it almost shut off while driving on the highway. I took the car for inspection to chevrolet dealer but I was told they will take weeks to find the exact issue. It also has a safety recall which wasn't performed during my appointment. I was told to come back if I see engine light without it they can't do much. I use my car every day to get to work and now I feel unsafe while driving it. My chevrolet malibu is of the year 2018 with only 30k miles.
