ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEMS IN HOT AMBIENT CONDITIONS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY STICK AT THE ATTACHMENT TO THE BRACKET AND NOT RETURN TO THE ENGINE IDLE POSITION WHEN THE OPERATOR LIFTS HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *NM
WE'D ONLY OWNED THE CAR ABOUT 2 YEARS (WE BOUGHT IT ONE YEAR USED) WHEN THE A/C STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. AT FIRST IT ONLY WORKED ON LEVEL THREE OR HIGHER, THEN IT QUIT BLOWING COLD AIR. TO GET TO BLOW COLD AIR CURRENTLY, WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PROMPT IT BY PUSHING A BUTTON. WE HAD THE FREON REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. OUR MECHANIC SAID IT SEEMED TO BE A DEFAULT WITH OTHER CHEVYS, ESPECIALLY MALIBUS AND ESPECIALLY ONES MADE AROUND THAT YEAR. I KNOW TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN MALIBUS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE'D LIKE TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET IT FIXED AT GM'S COST. IN ADDITION, MY HUSBAND WORKS FOR A GM FINANCING COMPANY.
2 of 2 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
