This car has been damaged from the day we purchased it, we were finally told it was more than likely tied down too tight on the delivery truck. It has many issues such as the body doesn't line up, the electronics are bad and the care has shut down going down the freeway twice, the paint is dirty and peeling, the GM rep said there was nothing they can do to fix the vehicle but they will not stand behind it and refund my money or give me another new one.

Hendrick Chevrolet Norfolk Virginia dealer service found GM history code dtc U0121 for this failure. My 2014 Chevrolet Malibu suddenly and fully ceased operating while stopping at a traffic red light in downtown Norfolk va; even lost all electrical including the emergency / hazard light not operating. The car went completely dead while taking foot off of brake and pressing on gas pedal after traffic light turned green; all dashboard displays went dark. It took 3 attempts to re-start the car over a period of 11 minutes (paused for some time after 2nd try). Very dangerous for my wife who was driving during this incident! we then brought this car to hendrick Chevrolet Norfolk service dept.
