I dug into this a bit. There is a TSB for the 1.5 in the Malibu that covers this issue (19-NA-058.) The error is believed to be caused by false knock detection. While your engine may not actually experience knock, the engine management thinks it does. The fix is a software upgrade for the ECM...
35-40 the turbo should spool pretty quickly and add the boost to get it moving. I wonder if there is an issue where the transmission doesn't downshift properly? I have also heard that the turbo bypass valves get week and stick open. I realize I have the 2.0, but if I am going 35 mph and really...

Sam's club and tire warranty-I had a bad set of Michelin x radial on my avalanche. The tread came off in chunks. Not my typical experience with...
When I leave work there is an area with no merge lane. I always give it a foot full of throttle. Even in AWD the tires spin. I am not sure how that would cause an issue. I do have the 2.0 and you have the 1.5, but they aren't that different in the way they work.

no scratches here. You can polish scratches out of glass, there are many products and videos on you tube. Be cautious, I would hate to see you damage the unit trying to remove a few scratches.
