THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE CAR WAS IDELING VERY ROUGH. O'RIELLY CHEVROLET SAID THAT THE #5 INJECTOR WAS STICKING, THEY FLUSHED THE SYSTEM & REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER FOR $207.73. TWO WEEKS LATER ON 2-25-02 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK TO O'RIELLY CHEV. & THEY SAID IT WAS THE #5 & # 3 INJECTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THE #5 INJECTOR WAS STICKING THE SERVICE REP. SAID IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS USING CHEAP GAS. I CHANGED THE TYPE OF GAS TO CHEVRON & AFTER TAKING ANOTHER TRIP, I HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS & AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO O'RIELLY CHEV. THE #5 & #3 INJECTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE TOTAL COSTS OF REPAIRS FOR BOTH TIMES IS $717.88. I DON'T RECALL, OTHER THAN THE LEVEL OF OCTANE, READING IN MY OWNER'S MANUEL ANYTHING ABOUT USING A BETTER TYPE OF GAS, BUT CHEVROLET AGREES WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT O'RIELLY'S THAT THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE INJECTORS IN MY CAR. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE. I FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE MAJOR REPAIR PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE WHEN IT HAS WAS ONLY 1,181 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT OWNS A 2000 MALIBU LS & SHE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE #5 INJECTOR, BUT AT LEAST HER CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE.

ROTORS AND PADS GET WARPED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO SHIMMY. BRAKING HARD WILL NOT SLOW VEHICLE DOWN, INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCES DOES NOT HELP TO SLOW VEHICLE FOR A STOP. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, PROBLEM PROGRESSED WITHIN 4,000 MILES.*AK STEERING COLUMN VIBRATES AND VISIBLY MOVES WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THIS CAUSES VEHICLE TO MOVE UNCONTROLLABLY. *SLC

THE MANFOLD INTAKE GASKET STARTED LEAKING ANTI-FREEZE AND I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY FOR IT TO BE REPLACED. GMC IS AWARE THAT IT IS A PROBLEM AND HAVE A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON IT. THEY ARE AWARE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM BUT HAVE FAILED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL PLACED ON THE VEHICLES AND ANYONE WHO HAS PAID FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED SHOULD GET REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS AS WELL AS THE RENTAL. *AK

BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 23,000 MILES ON IT IN JAN. 2000. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, BRAKES STARTED VIBRATING BAD LY WHEN APPLIED AT HIGH SPEEDS. DEALER SAID FAULTY, WARPED ROTORS AND REPLACED THEM FREE B/C IT WAS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. FEW MONTHS LATER, APRIL 2001, THEY DID IT AGAIN. TOOK BACK TO DEALER, THEY REFACED THE FAULTY ROTORS, PUT NEW PADS IN, CHARGED ME $300. IN JAN. 2002 BRAKES DID IT AGAIN. DEALER GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND AND WOULDN'T DO IT FREE, SO I GOT GOOD ROTORS AND PADS AT PARTS STORE FOR $120 AND DID IT MYSELF. ALSO INTAKE GASKET LEAKS ANTIFREEZE. CHEVY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT BRAKES AND I WANT $420 BACK FROM THEM.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING, DEALER RESURFACED THE FRONT ROTORS AT 17068 MILES, THE DEALER HAS SINCE REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS TWICE, ON THE THIRD OCCASION DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY, CONSUMER THEN WENT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED AND THE PADS REPLACED.*JB

HAD COOLANT/OIL LEAKING FROM VALVE COVER/ INTAKE MANIFOLD. DEALER REPLACED ALL 5 GASKETS, OIL AND COOLANT. ONLY HAVE 31,000 MILES ON THE CAR. ALSO HAD RESISTOR FOR FAN CONTROL CHANGED. BLOWER WOULD NOT OPERATE IN POSITION 1 OR 2. ONE MONTH AGO IN JANUARY, HAD TRANSMISSION COOLING LEAK. DEALER SAID IT WAS "TRANSMISSION INTERNAL WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR" LEAKING WHEN I TOLD THEM IT WAS COOLING LINE. INVOICE SHOWS CHANGED HARNESS, WHICH I COULDNT TELL IT WAS NEW BECAUSE IT WAS DIRTY, AND CHANGED GASKET IN COOLING LINE. AT SAME TIME HAD A/C BLOWER CONTROL UNIT REPLACED. IVE HAD PROBELMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. TIRES WERE "CUPPED" AFTER FIRST ROTATION. DEARLER REPLACED 2 FRONT TIRES UNDER WARRANTY. NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TIRES/WHEELS AFTER EACH ROTATION WHEN REAR WHEELS ARE PUT UP FRONT. SAID PROBLEM MIGHT BE ALIGNMENT, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO HAVE HAD HORN REPAIRED DUE TO INOP. DEALER FOUND WIRING HARNESS WASN'T CONNECTED. HAD CONTROL SWITCH CHANGED ON POWER DRIVERS SEAT. DRIVERS SEAT MOVES BACK/FORTH SLIGHTLY WHEN BRAKING/ACCELERATING. PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED DUE TO "SQUEAKING" WHEN HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD. HAD BATTERY REPLACED DUE TO ACID LEAK EATING OFF POSITIVE TERMINAL. HAD TO LEAVE CAR OVERNIGHT AT WORK BRAKES ARE DUE REPLACEMENT DUE TO "BRAKE FADE". CAR IS TOTAL DISAPOINTMENT. WOULD TRADE IT IN, BUT I OWE MORE THAN VEHICLE IS WORTH.

TWO-FIFTHS OF INBOARD PAD WAS MISSING FROM THE METAL PLATE AND APPEARED NOT TO HAVE BEEN BONDED TO THE PLATE AS THE METAL APPEARED CORRODED IN THE AREA WHERE THE PAD SHOULD HAVE BEEN BONDED TO THE PLATE. THE DEALERSHIP IS CONTACTING THE ZONE REPRESENTATIVE WHO IS TO INSPECT THE PAD AND PLATE ON FEBRUARY 28TH. THE PADS WERE WORN BUT NOT TO THE POINT THAT THE WEAR INDICATOR TOUCHED THE ROTORS. THEREFORE, THE ONLY WARNING WE HAD OF A BRAKE PROBLEM WAS AN UNUSUAL NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL DURING BRAKE APPLICATIONS, AND ONLY THEN AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MILES.*AK

WHILE COMING TO A GRADUAL STOP ABS BRAKES FAILED TO STOP VEHICLE. CONSUMER USED EMERGECY BRAKE TO STOP, DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED.*AK

VEHICLE SHAKES AND VIBRATES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. ALSO, STOPPING DISTANCE HAS INCREASED. FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE BEING REPLACED TOO OFTEN FROM WEAR AND TEAR. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. ALSO, REAR BRAKE CYLINDERS ARE STARTING TO LEAK, AND PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. *AK

DUE TO SEVERE PULSATION AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, I HAD ROTORS REPLACED AT 11,400 MILES...DEALER SAID THEY WERE WARPED. JUST HAD THOSE ROTORS RESURFACED AT 37,000 MILES....DEALER AND MANUFACTURER SWEAR NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I WISH I KNEW MY RECOURSE SO I DON'T FOOT THE BILL...THE ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE! ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IN MALIBU...THOUGHT IT WAS MY DREAM CAR....WRONG! *AK

AT 13,000 MILES, VEHICLE DEVELOPED SHIMMY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, DEALER TURNED FRONT ROTORS. AT 19,000 MILES, SHIMMY RETURNED, DEALER REPLACED ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY. AT 48,000 MILES, DEALER TURNED ROTORS AGAIN AND PADS REPLACED WITH THE NAPA BEST PADS, ALL AT MY EXPENSE. NOW AT 67,000 MILES, SHIMMY IS COMING BACK. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THESE EXPENSES.*AK

PREMATURE ROTOR WARPAGE. HAD THEM TURNED, PROBLEM IS BACK AFTER JUST 4000 MILES. *AK

FUEL FILTER IS LEAKING FUEL ONTO THE EXHUAST SYSTEM, CAUSING SOME DAMAGE TO EXHUAST. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. WHEN CHECKING THE PROBLEM FOR REPAIR WE FOUND THAT THE LIGHTS FAILED BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN SO HOT THE PLASTIC MELTED OVER THE CONTACTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO 3 OF THE 4 LIGHTS, BUT THE 4TH HAS SIGNS OF BEING VERY HOT ALSO. THE FUSE SHOULD BLOW BEFORE THESE LIGHTS GET THIS HOT. THIS MANUFACTURING IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHAT IF ALL THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE TO GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME??? BIG PROBLEMS!*AK

BRAKES STARTED MAKING NOISE AND BECAME SLUGGISH WHILE DRIVING, DEALER MACHINED THE ROTORS AND THE PADS. *YH

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT. I HAVE NEEDED TO OPEN THE CASING UNIT ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO REPLACE THE BULB. WITHIN A WEEK'S TIME, HOWEVER, THE LIGHT IS NON-WORKING AGAIN. IT IS NOT THE BULB, BUT THE SOCKET THE BULB FITS INTO. THE LEFT REAR BRAKE LIGHT IS NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICE THE BULB ISN'T BURNT OUT BUT THAT THERE IS A SHORT OR BAD CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BULB AND SOCKET. I HAVE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DRIVEN AROUND WITH ONLY THE BRAKE LIGHT IN MY REAR WINDOW WORKING. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE! ALSO, THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE IS TERRIBLE. THE BRAKES WEAR OUT AROUND 10,000 MILES AND THE CAR SHIMMIES AND SHAKES. BEFORE THIS CAR HAD 26,000 MILES ON IT, THE BRAKES HAD BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THIS MAKES FOR A SCARY RIDE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE SO SHAKY.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT 25MPH FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. *AK*SLC

PURCHASED VEHICLE 5/04/01. HAD TO RETURN 2 DAYS LATER FOR MELTED BRAKE LIGHT SOCKETS ON LEFT REAR. BULBS WERE REPLACED. MELTED AGAIN WITHIN 3 WEEKS. WENT BACK TO DEALER, WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T CHECK IT THEY WERE TOO BUSY. MADE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE FIXED. THEY REPLACED BULBS AND REWORKED SOCKET BUT IT STILL FAILED. THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS ON AVERAGE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. I THINK THEY HAVE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAUSING THE BULBS TO MELT THE SOCKETS. NOW THE TURN SIGNAL AND BACK-UP LIGHTS ARE STARTING TO MELT. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT ALSO WORKS SPORADICALLY. FRONT BRAKES SHUDDER WHEN APPLIED AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED, ROTORS WERE CUT. STILL HAVING SHUDDER AND EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES.*AK

24000 MILES WHEN PURCHASED. HAD FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. WAS TOLD THAT ROTORS WAS ALREADY TOO THIN TO BE TURNED WHEN TOOK TO SHOP FOR WARPED ROTORS. HAD TO REPLACE. 3 MONTHS LATER, SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN. I'VE BEEN LIVING WITH THE SOUNDS AND SHAKES BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY EVERY FEW MONTHS. HAVE SEARCHED THE WEB TO FIND OUT THERE IS A LOT OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CHEVROLET HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY #1 CHOICE IN CARS, BUT THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED TO MAKE IT RIGHT FOR ALL THE LOYAL CHEVY OWNERS ABROAD.*AK

BRAKE PADS REPLACED 10/00, FAILED 2/10, REPLACED PADS AND ROTORS2/01. CAR WAS RETURNED TO REPAIR SHOP 3-4 TIMES BECAUSE I FELT THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NORMAL EVERY TIME. BRAKES LOCKED UP WHEN I WAS DRIVING 11/01. BACK TO SHOP AT WHICH TIME I HAD NO FRONT BRAKES. THEY REPLACED PADS AGAIN. TOOK CAR TO CHEVROLET, 11/01 FOR BRAKE INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. BRAKE LIGHTS NOW COME ON. BRAKES SKIP WHEN APPLIED AND THE REAR BRAKES ARE NOW MAKING CLICKING NOISE WHEN APPLIED AND SOMETIMES WHEN RELEASED THE BRAKES STICK. TOOK CAR BACK TO CHEVROLET , 11/01 AND WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR BRAKES ARE HANGING UP. KEEP IN MIND THAT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR BRAKES WERE FINE. THEY DID NOT HAVE AN EXPLAINATION FOR THE BRAKE PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN HAVING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE MALIBU DOES HAVE A BRAKING PROBLEM, BUT USUALLY IS FIXED AFTER THE BRAKES ARE REPLACED ONCE. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR 12 MONTHS AND HAVE PUT ABOUT 16,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE GONE THROUGH 3 SETS OF PADS AND AND THE ROTARS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE. MOST RECENT REPAIR WAS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND I AM NOW HAVING MORE PROBLEMS THAN I HAD BEFORE THE REPAIR. *AK

VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE ON 7-30-2001 AND BRAKES WERE FINE. ON 24 NOV 2001, WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND APPLYING BRAKES, VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AND BRAKES WERE PULSATING. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER, NO BRAKE PADS WERE LEFT AND ROTORS HAD TO BE TURNED. *AK

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR, AND THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING , THE ENGINE SEEMED TO TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. THROTTLE SEEMED TO BE STUCK AND CAR WOULD NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN, BRAKES WERE JAMMED AND THAT IS WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. TOW TRUCK DRIVER PUSHED TPS SENSOR BACK IN AND THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. DEALER CLAIMS " NO CODES CAME UP". *AK

THANK YOU. *AK (TIRESIZE: P215/60R15)

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. DEALER SAYS IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO DRIVE THIS WAY, SINCE THEY CAN'T FIX. CONCERNED THAT IF A TRUE SYSTEM PROBLEM HAPPENS, I WON'T REACT BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. *AK

ABS WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENT AT STARTING OF ENGINE. *AK

BRAKE PADS DIDN'T WEAR EVENLY, NOTICABLE DIFFERENCE ON UPON COMPARISON. DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS NORMAL SINCE BOTH SIDES WORE THE SAME. TOOK TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE STATED THIS WASN'T NORMAL WEAR. THE FRONT SIDE OF THE PAD WAS COMPLETELY WORE OUT AND THE BACK SIDE HAD MORE THAN 60 % REMAINING WEAR. HOW CAN THIS BE NORMAL?
