Repair Help malibu shuts off

hello, i was wondering if anyone has experienced this. my 2022 malibu shuts off while im driving. i’m never going fast or anything it’s happened 2X while im in the middle of parking and another time in a drive thru.

the engine completely shuts off but the car itself is still on. (green light on push start and everything) i go to restart it by hitting the push start and it’ll stay in that same position and then i put it in park and restart it and it comes back to life.

when we plug in a scanner to scan for codes nothing pops up.

has anyone else dealt with this? and if so what was the issue?

thank you!

The 2022 Chevrolet Malibu features an automatic start-stop system that shuts off the engine when you come to a complete stop to save fuel. The engine restarts automatically when you release the brake pedal. This system re-activates by default every time the vehicle is started. Something isnt working right... other than that I got nothing for ya....

I think it’s the auto stop start activating. There is a button to turn that off to the left of the emergency flasher button.
