Hi everyone,
I need help with my 2013 Malibu. For an entire year, my car has shut off intermittently while I’m stopped at a light in idle, AND sometimes it shuts off while trying to start. Every time it has done either of those issues, it has started right back up after. It does these issues pretty far apart. It will have either of the issues around every 1-3 months.
Also, right before it has shut off, it will sort of vibrate and sputter like. It is when my foot is on the break. To prevent it from shutting off, I ease my foot off the brake and I can feel it stopping the vibration and sputtering. So it doesn’t shut off when I do that.
It does not give any codes. Whenever it has shut off, the check engine light will come on. (((BUT I tried scanning it with my obdII scanner and the scanner hasn’t been able to pick up codes from it. )) Once I try to start it again, it will start up and the check engine light will go off, never actually storing the code.
I’ve had about 5 different mechanic shops look at it including the dealership. No one can figure it out. Please help! Has anyone had this happen with a car?
