Chevrolet Malibu 2016 not moving in drive, reverse or neutral despite starting on Chevrolet Malibu

Some Chevrolet Malibu 2016 owners report experiencing issues where the vehicle does not move in drive, reverse, or neutral despite starting. This problem may stem from a transmission or shift lock control issue, which can prevent the car from moving in any gear. Additionally, some owners have identified a cracked supply line or fluid tube in the transmission as a potential cause, often leading to limited movement. In cases where the vehicle moves in reverse but not in drive, a sliding clutch issue may be indicated, resulting in minimal power transfer to the wheels. Furthermore, low fluid levels or incorrect linkage adjustments should be checked first, as these simple faults can also contribute to the problem. It is recommended that affected owners seek inspection from a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and address the specific issue.
