THE OFFER IS VALID FOR 10YRS OR 120,000 MILESFROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD, GM SPOKESMAN ALAN ADLER TOLD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. CHEVY SUPERSTITION SPRINGS, MESA, AZ WILL NOT HONOR THIS AND WANTS TO CHARGE ME $900 TO REPAIR THEIR MANUFACTURE DEFECT. PLEASE HELP!!

WAS TOLD SAME THING AND SAME WORK PERFORMED. SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. READ ONLINE THAT RECALL DIDN'T SOLVE PROBLEM. ON 9/10/18 DEALER STATED BEEN HAVING A LOT OF SAME PROBLEMS WITH OTHER CARS THEY REPLACED BCM & BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR. HAD WORK DONE. SO FAR SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED. NEVER FELT SAFE WHILE DRIVING WITH BRAKE LIGHTS ON AND WHILE STOPPED NO BRAKE LIGHTS ON. CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD LET THIS PROBLEM GO ON AS WELL AS DEALERS

STRONG GAS SMELL FROM REAR OF VEHICLE (INTERIOR/EXTERIOR). LEAK CONFIRMED FROM FUEL PUMP WHEN IN MOTION. ALSO, VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATED, USUALLY AFTER VEHICLE SITS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

ENGINE BROKE DOWN 2 WEEKS LATER THEY SAID WE WILL GIVE YOU WARRANTY AND WHEN I REFILL GAS THE FUEL SENSOR DOESN'T REACH FULL TANK AND STEERING LOST ITS GRIP THE SAME WEEK OF PURCHASE

HEAD LIGHT LOW BEAM KEEP GOING OUT AFTER CHANGING LIGHT BULBS WIRE HARNESSES

TAKATA RECALL, MY 08 MALIBU WILL NOT START AFTER DRIVING NO MATTER HOW LONG. I'VE BEEN STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES. I BOUGHT A NEW STARTER, RELAY SWITCH, IGNITION, SWITCH, AND PAID FOR MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. EVERY MECHANIC SENDS ME TO THE DEALER SHIP AND SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM BUT BELIEVE IT'S THE ECM. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND PRAYING THIS DOESN'T COST ME ANOTHER CAR!

SHIFTER GET STIF AND HARD TO SHIFT WHEN WARM

RED AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALSO SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE IS ON. THIS IS ON WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE MOVING. NO ISSUES TO THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO OCCUR.

PASSENGER AIR BAG ERROR MESSAGE THAT AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT WORK.

WHEN DRIVING BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUE TO STAY ON. WHEN PRESSED THEY GO OFF AND PRESSING TO FLOOR THEY COME ON BUT WHEN RELEASED AROUND 6 SECONDS LATER THEY COME ON AGAIN. WAS TAKEN TO DEALER SHIP TO BE FIXED FOR A RECALL . WORKED FOR LESS THAN A MONTH AND IT CONTINUES AGAIN. HAD BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH REPLACED AND IT STILL CONTINUES. NOW I'M GETTING THE LIGHTS COMING ON SAYING ESC OFF AND ALSO A TRACTION LIGHT. IN MY OPINION ALL CHEVY MALIBU'S SHOULD BE RECALLED AND DONE RIGHT. WORST CAR I EVER OWNED. FIX YOUR MISTAKES PLEASE. THESE THINGS I'M DESCRIBING HAPPENS ANYWHERE I'M DRIVING CONSTANTLY

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING AMONGST OTHER THINGS AS WELL. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME FOR THE FIRST TIME WHILE PARKED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON & IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH IT MAKING A SOUND IN THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN & THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MOVE ON IT'S OWN & WILL STICK WHILE I'M DRIVING WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. ALSO THERE IS OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSING SECURITY LIGHT TO COME ON & MY CAR WILL LOCK UP & I CAN'T START IT. THE "SERVICE ESC" LIGHT CAME ON AROUND THE SAME TIME AS WELL. THE SEATBELT LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN EVERYONE HAS THEIR SEATBELT ON TOO. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING GOING ON WITH WIRE CONNECTIONS OR SOMETHING. I'M AWARE OF RECALLS ON THE SAME EXACT YEAR MAKE & MODEL AS MY VEHICLE FOR THE SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED NOTHING BUT GM VEHICLES & THIS ONE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS!

ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF TO RESET IT AFTER THAT I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD TURN OFF WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES PRETTY MUCH WORKING IN REVERSE NOW AT THE MOMENT IT IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME AND IT IS MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY CHILD TO DRIVE IN. ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WILL SHIFT FROM FIFTH GEAR DOWN TO 4TH GEAR AND I WOULD HAVE TO SWITCH TO THE MANUAL SHIFT MODE TO SHIFT CORRECTLY DUE TO THE CAR NOT SHIFTING CORRECT.

MY TAIL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING, THEY RANDOMLY WENT OUT HOWEVER BRAKES BLINKER ECT ALL STILL WORK MULTIPLE FORUMS SAY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE JUST GOOGLE IT. THEY WENT OUT AT NIGHT IN A CANYON, I COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY HURT HAD AN OFFICER NOT NOTICED.

CLUNK, KNOCK AND RATTLING SOUND FROM INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND STEERING RACK AND PINION. THE CLUNKING AND KNOCKING SOUND HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS (PARKING LOTS, DRIVEWAY AND CITY DRIVING) AND AT 70-75 M.P.H. (HIGHWAY SPEEDS) IT STARTS TO RATTLE IN THE STEERING RACK THEN MAKES THE ENTIRE CAR START TO VIBRATE.

I WENT TO THE WALKING TRACK WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD SON TO TAKE OUR DOG FOR A WALK. IT WAS HOT THAT DAY SO WE WAITED UNTIL EVENING TO GO. WHEN WE WERE DONE, I POPPED THE TRUNK TO PUT HIS BIKE AWAY AND UNLOCKED THE DOOR, WENT TO START THE CAR AND THE ANTI-THEFT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON (THE ICON OF THE CAR WITH A LOCK ON IT), AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START. GOT MY OWNERS MANUAL OUT, BUT IT WAS OF NO HELP, SO I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM. MOST PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS ISSUE SAID TO PUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION AND TURN IT TO THE ACC POSITION FOR 10 MINUTES, THEN TAKE THE KEYS OUT AND TRY TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND IT SHOULD START. WELL THAT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME, AND I GUESS I HAD TRIED TOO MANY TIMES TO START IT, SO THEN IT WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AND WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. SO THERE I SIT, 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD AND OUR CHIHUAHUA, IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT WITH NO STORES OR BUSINESS CLOSE BY THAT WERE OPEN. NOT TO MENTION MY DOG WAS PANTING BECAUSE IT WAS STILL MUGGY OUTSIDE FROM BEING 90 DEGREES THAT AFTERNOON. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK, WHO THANKFULLY CAME WITHIN THE HOUR TO HELP ME. I TOLD HIM THE PROBLEM AND HE SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE SOME KIND OF SENSOR ISSUE. SO HE JUMPED MY CAR OFF SINCE I HAD DRAINED THE BATTERY TRYING TO DISABLE THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM, AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME, THOUGH, IT WAS 11:30 AT NIGHT. ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO US THAT LATE AT NIGHT, IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, WITH NO WHERE TO WALK TO. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE MALIBUS, AND NEEDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED.

BRAKE LIGHTS RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE! WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A WHILE NOW.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO ANOTHER CITY STREET MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHICH ENABLED ME TO STRAIGHTEN UP MY WHEEL. DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN UP MY WHEEL AFTER STEERING LEFT I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT KNOCKING OFF MY DRIVERS SIDES HEADLIGHT AND FRONT BUMPER COMPLETELY OFF OF MY VEHICLE. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK HOME THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER START. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT CAPITOL CHEVEROLET IN AUSTIN TEXAS AND BEFORE REPLACING THE RECALL PARTS THEY INSISTED ON A BATTERY REPLACEMENT I DID REPLACE THE BATTERY AND 3 DAYS LATER THEY CALL AND INSIST ON AN ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT THAT WILL COST ME $800 IN ORDER FOR THEM TO START ON THE REPLACEMENT/ REPAIRS OF THE RECALLS. THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ALL WERE WORKING IN GOOD CONDITION BEFORE THE POWER STEERING ISSUE CAME ABOUT WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I SHOULD NOT BE RELIABLE OF PAYING FOR THIS. THE DEALERSHIP IS ALSO CHARGING ME A $65 TOWING FEE!

2011 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE LIGHT ISSUES. *SMD *CN

I WAS DRIVING A COUPLE DAYS AFTER BUYING THOS VEHICLE & NOTICED THAT MY POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON ON MY DASH. A FEW DAYS LATER THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARDER TO CONTROL & WHEN I WAS PARKED MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD MOVE ON IT'S OWN. I LOOKED ONLINE TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT COULD BE DOING THAT BECAUSE I HAD NEVER HAD A CAR WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING & I SAW THAT I WAS 1 OF MANY PEOPLE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE & MODEL CAR, SOME OF WHICH HAVE A RECALL FOR THAT VERY REASON. I FEEL LIKE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS NOW DRIVING BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT IS MOVING ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING SHUTS DOWN.I PULL OVER SHUT IT OFF WAIT A MINUTE THEN IT WILL WORK FOR A FEW MIN.TBEN SHUT OFF AGAIN.IM A CANCER PATIENT AND NEED MY CAR TO GET TO HOSPITAL.THIS HAS REALLY GOT ME STRESSED.
