There's a free repair for this on '16-'18 Malibu's and similar Buick models for the p2138 code. Completely free if you go through a Chevy dealer

It is only free if you have less that 150,000 miles on your car. Needless to say, I got the code at 193,000 miles, and they no longer will fix it for free after that. Just so everyone is aware. ;-)

What is the job of this sensor? My 2016 Malibu will sometimes not move after being at a light/stop sign. We’ve learned not to slam on the gas because when it eventually kicks in, it’ll quickly accelerate according to how far we are pressing gas pedal. Since it feels like gas pedal is stuck, we tend to put the “petal to the metal” which almost caused us to hit other cars a couple of times 😅 So now, we slowly step on gas until it kicks in, which is also dangerous, especially turning into uncoming traffic

its a electronic gas pedal. the contacts wear and bad connections result

my chevy malibu 2017 vacuum pump shattered, reduced engine power after fixing the pump. now the whole cars electrical system is acting weird. no codes are showing. articles are saying theres a faulty accelerator sensor making the car go in low engine power mode.

Same thing with me, it's also really easy to replace the throttle body if cleaning doesn't work. I have a 2016 malibu 1.5 turbo. It's literally so simple to change the throttle body on it, it's took me like 2 minutes to take it out ans clean it. Best of luck my friends.

Would this sensor being bad cause my brakes to grind sometimes like they'll be perfect one minute and then when I hit the brake they'll grind like something's going to fall out the bottom of my car then it'll stop again in my brakes will be perfect like normal
@crashman19632 жыл бұрын
no but had that problem also, what it was on this one was- there is a wire spring on the brakes that can pop off and bounce around in there, while not falling completely out,it rubbed occasionally making grating noise. when i replaced the brakes it happened cpl times, to fix i had to cut the groove where the springs sit just a lil deeper so it would stay in place. haven't heard a peep since. you should take a look to be safe.

Had same thing happen. First in forward motion. Cleaned abs sensor fixed. Later on happened in reverse. Cleaned the rears. Problem in reverse is now gone too. Noticed the holes in the tip of the sensors were clogged.
