Hi Backpack, Congratulations on your new Malibu! I apologize on behalf of Chevrolet for the issues you're experiencing. I know you don't expect to have vehicle issues when you purchase a new car. Have you been in touch with the dealership to schedule an appointment for a diagnosis? If you would like to private message me your VIN#, name and current mileage, I can research this issue further. My email is vanessa_evans@gmexpert.com. I look forward to your reply. Vanessa GM Customer Service
