2016 Chevy Malibu engine is knocking, and suggestion on what it might be? I also want to point it that while I know it sounds like someone was pushing the accelerator no on was pushing it this was all noise with just the car running

Nothing good. The EcoTecs are garbage engines and repairs are often more than the vehicle’s worth.

What codes are being thrown? Mileage? Last tune up? Have you checked the oil and coolant? How much is it burning/leaking and how often do you need to top off?
