Auto stop/start is a non starter for me!!

You can't turn off the auto stop/start feature of the car. It's the only reason I won't buy one, and that's bad because I've had my Malibu for over 10 years now. I found the feature highly annoying.

Less than 25,000 miles and car will lurch forward on occasion from the stopped position due to gears (automatic) not engaging. Also will stop hard due to gears shifting too soon which results in reverse not engaging unless you shift off and then back to reverse a second time. Sad thing is I am not getting any error lights so waiting to see what the dealership tells me. I’ve found with Chevy dealerships if there isn’t an error code they tell you there is nothing wrong.

This is not for tall people

For tall people, this car can prove to be disastrous. I had a near accident experience when, I tried to move the sunvisor from front to the side. We all do that while driving. If you are tall, the visor will come and hit right around your eyes, if you are not careful, or else you have to duck. The visor hit my glasses and it broke my glass and I had to screech to a halt..thankfully it was an empty highway. secondly, after 2 years the battery recharge system gave up. I used to love 'auto shut off' feature when I used to stop the car at traffic lights. Near the 2 year end of lease, the car failed to restart after stopping. Now I turn the car to neutral at traffic light to avoid auto shut off..kind of a curse nowadays! I like the ride, technology inside, bluetooth, carplay. Finally, after 2 years, my miles per gallon came down to 20miles/gallon. the advertised is 27 for local.
