I have been attempting to rectify this problem since October 2019, and filed the official complaint with GM April,2020. The car is showing a code error P2646 (rocker arm malfunction in bank 1 stuck in off position). This is an egregious example of a manufacturing defect and they are offering no alternative other than buying a new car. I have filed customer service inquiries/complaints with multiple dealerships and GM directly. GM is no longer manufacturing and referring customers to aftermarket parts.(aftermarket part recommended is the dorman 916-806) in doing research trying to find this part it seems this same part has malfunctioned on every 2014-2015 year model Malibu and Impala and GM is still not issuing a recall. (GM part #12633613 or GM part # 19419980) I have incurred over $1000 in diagnostic fees and taken the car to three (3) different independent mechanics and two (2) GM certified parts dealers trying to get this part replaced. I own a 2015 Malibu lt 2.5L, I have not been able to pass the state required inspection due to a faulty oil control solenoid. I need a dependable vehicle and do not have the luxury to run to the dealership multiple times for an on-going problem. This problem can not be ignored or downplayed, someone will eventual get hurt or killed because their vehicle stalls without reason or warning.

As quickly as the vehicle stopped working, I was able to restart the vehicle and move it out of the road. On while in Natick Massachusetts, I was almost rear-ended after my vehicle stalled in traffic and I could not get to the BDL. This vehicle is a lemon, it is not dependable, and the stalling issues seem to be an on-going issue with GM Chevy Malibu.

The dealership has had ample attempts to fix the issues with the vehicle, as well as private ASE certified mechanic/shop after the issues continued with this problem vehicle. This vehicle has only had 1 owner since the initial purchase with on-star showing all the times/dates that a problem was detected and reported via email (on star). Sometimes the check engine light will activate after stalling and other times it will not. This 2015 Chevy Malibu has been serviced over 10 ten times for a stalling/check engine issue(s).
