THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SAFETY RECALL 14350 UNINTENDED IGNITION KEY ROTATION. THE SWITCH IS STILL EXACTLY AS IT WAS BEFORE, NO RESISTANCE BETWEEN KEY POSITION 1(OFF) AND KEY POSITION 2(RUN). THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE FEEL OF THE SWITCH KEY ROTATION. DON'T FEEL RECALL PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THOUGHT THIS WAS WORTH A NOTE TO NHTSA SINCE GM IS SAYING RECALLS COST 4.1B. *TR

THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. FORTUNATELY THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT THE TIME RATHER THAN ON A ROADWAY. THIS EVENING THE CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL. MY PERSONAL MECHANIC HAS ALREADY ADVISED THAT THERE IS AN IGNITION PROBLEM. HOWEVER NEITHER GM OR THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THEY INSIST ON CHARGING FOR A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC EVEN THOUGH WE'VE ALREADY PD SOMEONE ELSE FOR A DIAGNOSIS. *TR

CAR WILL NOT START. SOLID "THEFT" LIGHT COMES ON DASHBOARD AND CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER, OR IF IT TURNS OVER, WILL CUT OUT SHORTLY AFTER. THIS ANTI-THEFT ISSUE CAUSES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES TO DISABLE, AND AM NOT ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. HAVE ALSO HAD CAR STALL OUT IN TRAFFIC AND LOSE ALL POWER. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE ISSUE. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL FIXES AND MECHANICAL REPAIRS, BUT THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. NO MATTER WHAT I TRY AND DO, AT RANDOM TIMES, MY CAR WILL NOT START, WHILE THE "THEFT" LIGHT COMES ON AND COMPLETELY DISABLES MY VEHICLE. AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, AND AM USING AN ORIGINAL KEY TO START THE CAR. I DO NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF SECURITY SYSTEM INSTALLED IN MY CAR. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE "THEFT" LIGHT TO COME ON WHEN I AM JUST TRYING TO START MY VEHICLE, NOT STEAL IT. THE IGNITION RECALL FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE ONLY INVOLVES REPLACING THE KEYS, BUT THIS ANTI-THEFT ISSUE, WHICH I AND OTHER CHEVROLET MALIBU OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING, IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A CRASH OR OTHER ACCIDENT TO OCCUR IF IT CAUSES THE CAR TO CUT OUT (LOSE POWER) FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING, AND AT THE SAME TIME DISABLING THE STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEMS. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A SAFETY RECALL. *JS

WAS NOT ABLE TO GET KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE KEYS WOULD STICK, AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEYS. TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER AND KNOB ASSEMBLY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND USED THE ORIGINAL KEYS. FURTHERMORE, THIS CAR HAD LOW MILEAGE, 56,040 MILES, FOR A SEVEN YEAR OLD CAR, AND WAS BARELY DRIVEN TO HAVE TO HAVE SUCH A SERIOUS REPAIR. I SEE THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIR INSTEAD OF CHARGING ME THE $346.56 TO REPAIR A KNOWN ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH MY 2003 CHEVROLET MALIBU THAT I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE A CHEVROLET OR GM PRODUCT EVER AGAIN. MOST OF THE ISSUES THAT I SEE IN THE SERVICE BULLETINS ARE ISSUES THAT I HAVE ALSO HAD. AFTER FINDING THIS WEBSITE, I HOPE TO LET OTHER CHEVROLET MALIBU OWNERS KNOW OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS THAT CAN OCCUR WITH THEIR VEHICLES, AND ALSO HOPE THAT ONE DAY, SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO MAKE CHEVROLET LIABLE FOR ALL THESE ISSUES. *JS

THE KEY WILL SHIFT FROM THE 'ON' POSITION TO THE 'ACCESSORY' OR 'OFF' POSITION BY ITSELF AND WITHOUT WARNING. THIS SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE, PS, PB, AIRBAGS.... I FIRST COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BACK IN 2003/2004 TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO REMOVE THE KEYS FORM THE KEY RING. NOW THIS CAR IS UNDER A RECALL (GM RECALL #N14350, NHTSA RECALL #14V400) AND ALL GM AND THE DEALER SAY THEY WILL DO IS SHAVE OFF SOME OF THE PLASTIC FROM THE GM EMBLEM ON THE ORIGINAL KEYS TO MAKE THEM LIGHTER. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR IN THE SHOP - ALL THEY DO IS MODIFY THE PLASTIC EMBLEM ON THE ORIGINAL KEYS. THIS WON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS I DON'T USE THE ORIGINAL GM KEYS AND THERE IS NO PLASTIC TO SHAVE OFF AND I DON'T HAVE A HUGE KEY RING FULL OF KEYS. THIS IS AN IGNITION PROBLEM, NOT A KEY PROBLEM. *TR

THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THIS WAS A TOTAL SHUT-DOWN OF THE CAR; INCLUDING THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE CAR AFTERWARDS BECOMES DIFFICULT TO START. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL TRIES OR A PROLONGED WAITING PERIOD UNTIL THE CAR WILL WANT TO START. AFTER IT DOES START THERE'S NO TELLING IF IT WILL SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE GOING THROUGH TURNS, AND PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

WE HAD TO HAVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD REPLACED, AT 55,000 MILES, WHICH DIDN'T OCCUR UNTIL 2012, BECAUSE I DON'T PUT A LARGE AMOUNT OF MILES ON MY CAR ANNUALLY. I COULD NOT GET ANY MONEY FROM THE RECALL, BECAUSE THE CLASS ACTION SUIT PAYOUT ENDED IN 2008, AND I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE. BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR STRUTS ARE LEAKING FLUID. I WAS TOLD ALL FOUR NEED, REPLACEMENT, AND THE MOUNTS AS WELL. . THE MECHANICS SAID NORMALLY THESE SHOULDN'T NEED REPLACEMENT UNTIL 75,000-80,000 MILES MINIMUM, AND SHOULD HAVE LASTED UNTIL 100,000 WHICH IS NORMAL. I'M A GENTLE DRIVER WHO DOESN'T LEND MY CAR OUT. I DRIVE OVER SPEED BUMPS VERY SLOWLY IN OUR TOWN, BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT SUSPENSION ISSUES. OUR TOWN'S SPEED LIMIT IS 15 MPH OVER THE SPEED BUMPS, AND I DO 7MPH OVER THEN. OTHERS WITH A 1999-2003 MALIBU, HAVE TOLD ME THEIR STRUTS HAVE WORN OUT JUST AS FAST ALSO.(AT 50,000 MILES OR SO). *TR

VEHICLE WON'T START AND SECURITY LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES WITH KEY IN THE ON POSITION TO RESTART ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM AND THEN ENGINE WILL START. THE CAR AS WELL DIED AND SECURITY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH AND HAD TO COAST OVER 2 LANES AND WAS LUCKILY NOT HIT OR INJURED. AFTER THIS I TOOK IT TO MY NORMAL MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT. HE FIXED IGNITION SWITCH ON 3/3/2009 WHICH I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF PROBLEM I WAS HAVING AND HIM FIXING IT. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR STILL DOES NOT START. I HAVEN'T HAD IT STOP WHILE DRIVING SINCE THEN BUT IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD I'M TELLING MYSELF I NEED TO GET RID OF THIS CAR BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS. SOMETIMES THE CAR IS FINE FOR MONTHS AND THEN IT WON'T START TWICE IN ONE WEEK. THIS IS ESPECIALLY A PAIN WHEN IT IS FREEZING COLD AND I HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES BUT IN MY CAR. SEEMS TO BE VERY INTERMITTENT. BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE THAT IF I TRY TO REMOTE START THE CAR WITH THE KEY FAB IT WILL MOST LIKELY ENDS IN TRIPPING THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. I'VE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON-LINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. AND I ASK WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR CAN STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS MADE ME LOSE CONFIDENCE IN GM, AND IF I BUY ANOTHER CAR I WILL THINK TWICE ABOUT BUYING ANOTHER CHEVY EVEN THOUGH I LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT MY CAR. I AM NOT ABOUT TO TAKE IT IN AND SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS GETTING IT FIXED WHEN I CAN SAVE MY MO

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET MALIBU THAT I PURCHASED NEW ON 12/27/02. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED ON 7/23/2014 AT 70,328 MILES FOR $307.13. I WOULD LIKE GM TO AT LEAST PAY THIS AMOUNT. THERE IS A GM 14350 RECALL ON THIS CAR. IN TALKING TO GM THEY WOULD ONLY CONSIDER PAYING FOR THIS, IF THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY ROTATION OF THE IGNITION KEY I AM A MAN 71 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED MANY CARS, MOST PURCHASED NEW. I KEEP MOST CARS 10 YEARS AND OVER 100,000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER REPLACED AND IGNITION SWITCH UNTIL NOW. THIS PROBLEM TOOK ABOUT 3 MONTHS TO DIAGNOSE. THE INITIAL PROBLEM DEVELOPED WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF WHILE IN USE. IT WAS VERY INTERMITTENT AND NOT PREDICTABLE. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LITE CAME ON. THE CODES INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT AND THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE NEXT TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME, THERE WERE NO CODES. THE NEXT SET OF PROBLEMS WAS THE POWER WINDOW, VENTILATION (AC AND FAN), AND RADIO WOULD NOT WORK. THE MAIN INDICATOR OF THIS PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES WOULD NOT WORK. I WOULD GET VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE INCLUDING ABS, BATTERY AND OTHERS. THE PROBLEMS GOT WORSE AS THE TEMPERATURE GOT HOTTER. HALF WAY BETWEEN MILWAUKEE AND APPLETON, 100 MILES INTO A 200MILE TRIP, WE STOPPED AT A REST STOP. UPON RETURNING TO THE CAR, I COULDN?T GET THE FAN OR WINDOWS TO WORK OR ELIMINATE THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT. FORTUNATELY, THE BACK WINDOWS WERE OPEN AND INCH WHEN WE LEFT THE REST STOP.
