My 2011 V6 Malibu has been nearly trouble free so I decided to keep it for my new teen driver. Of course it is now acting up! I couldn't duplicate what her and my wife were telling me but today finally could. Most of the time the car is fine but then a VERY loud noise comes on. It sounds to me like it is near the front of the engine bay.
I've gotten it three times now. Once in line at a drive through (can't remember if in park or gear when it started but happened in both), Once when I did remote start and once after a 15 minute test drive with no problems I parked it and then had to move it a couple minutes later and it started screaming.
It doesn't seem related to the air conditioning and not 100% related to idling but it seems to mostly be then. My wife said it came on while driving but I haven't gotten that and it even stopped after I left the drive through.
Thanks for any advise. I did a search and found similar but not exactly this, if there is already a thread please point me to it. I have a video of it but don't see where I can upload videos, just pictures.
