The air conditioning works when it wants to! I believe this is a safety issue for a driver , driving in 100+ heat. The chevy service department said this is a problem with the malibu and cruse. It has been serviced and needed freon and that was done and it worked for a half day. It started on first day or purchase 7/23-31/2019

Transmission system is not performing as expected. An issue has been detected in the ignition system which oversees the timing and spark necessary to ignite fuel into the engine. Gm and chevrolet dealerships are claiming there is no problem however engine light comes on and on-star reports problems and nothing is fixed. Brand new car with 8600 miles and less then a year old.
