Malibu Bumper Antenna Issue

Hey, I'm having trouble with my 2018 Chevrolet Malibu diesel. It's got 226276 kilometers on it. I think it's the bumper antenna system. I'm getting a persistent error, can't unlock or lock the car properly, and it won't start without the key in the ignition. I think it might be a bad cable or plug on the antenna. Anyone seen this before? I'm stumped.

A 2018 Chevrolet Malibu diesel with 226,276 kilometers is experiencing issues with the bumper antenna system, leading to problems with locking, unlocking, and starting the car. The suspected cause is a bad cable or plug on the antenna.

Sounds familiar. I had something like that with my Malibu. Was the error code related to the remote receiver?

Yeah, the error code does seem to point to the remote receiver. Can you tell me more about what happened with yours and what you did to fix it?

Yep, same thing. Eventually, I just took it to a workshop. Saved me a headache.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a shop, and it was a bad connection in the bumper antenna, just like I thought. Cost 95€, and now it's working perfectly.
