2010 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

DRIVER DOOR WON'T OPEN. RIGHT BEFORE IT WOULDN'T OPEN, THE DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE. IT WOULD JUST BOUNCE OPEN. GOT THE DOOR TO FINALLY CLOSE AND NOW IT WON'T OPEN. TRIED UNLOCKING AND LOCKING IT AND NOTHING. SEEN LOTS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR MALIBUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHEN THE WEATHER WAS BELOW 50 DEGREES, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I WAS NOTIFIED BY MY OLDEST DAUGHTER THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IN HER CAR WOULD NOT TURN AND THAT SHE WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, SHE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, SHE AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I INSTRUCTED HER TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THAT I WOULD HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SERVICE STATION THAT IT WAS PURCHASED FROM. WHAT SHE EXPLAINED TO ME IS EXACTLY WHAT IS BEING DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 DATED MARCH 31, 2014.

2010 MALIBU EXPERIENCES FLUCTUATIONS IN POWER/ RPMS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO GET LOOKED AT SEVERALS TIMES, BUT MECHANIC COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO REPLICATE ISSUE. NOT SURE IF ITS RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION, OR MOTOR. EITHER WAY, NO ONE CAN DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM. WHEN ISSUE OCCURS, THE VEHICLE ACTS SLUGGISH (DOES NOT WANT TO GO) AND BOUNCES BETWEEN 2 & 3 ON MY RPM GAUGE. IT'S AS IF I WOULD PUSH THE GAS THEN LET OFF THE PEDAL (REPEATEDLY). AT FIRST THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN GOING UP A HILL, BUT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT, AND IS NOW HAPPENING REGARDLESS OF GRADE. IT IS A DEFINATE SAFETY ISSUE, AS THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION AND MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY. IT DOES HOWEVER SEEM TO BE RESOLVED IF I PRESS THE GAS ALL THE WAY DOWN (RPMS GO UP TO 4-5 ON GAUGE, THEN THE CAR FINALLY GOES) I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE, BUT NO RESOLUTION. THE NUMBER OF MILES THE CAR HAS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR, AS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS WITH THIS CAR BEING BRAND NEW (BASED ON OTHER COMPLAINTS).THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR MONTHS. THIS IS MY FIRST CHEVY- BOUGHT LAST YEAR. SEEMS TO HAVE A TON OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. BOUGHT THE CAR UNKNOWINGLY WITH AN OPEN RECALL, TIRE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO REASON, CAR SUDDENLY STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY AND WOULD NOT START A WEEK AFTER PURCHASED, STEREO LOSES POWER, POWER STEERING IS INTERMITTENT, THE PASSENGER DOOR SOMETIMES FAILS TO OPEN AND/OR CLOSE, THE DRIVE

ON AUG 19TH, I WENT TO DEALER IN DULLES TO LOOK FOR A CAR POSTED AS PRIVATE, BUT ANY HOW, I ENDED UP BUYING CHEVY BECAUSE DEALER EXPLAINED ME THE CARS GOOD FEATURES AND MISLED ME ABOUT THE PREVIOUS CARS CONDITION AS THE CARFAX SHOWS IT WAS HAILDAMAGED, USED AS RENTAL, AND IT HAS A OPEN RECALL. WITHOUT INFORMING ME ABOUT THE OPEN RECALL OR ANYTHING ELSE, THE DEALER SOLD ME THIS CAR WITHOUT SHOWING ME CARFAX, AS I ASKED CARFAX, HE SHOWED ME MINOR PART OF MINOR IN HIS PHONE AND MISLED AND LIED TO ME AND SOLD THIS CAR. I DROVE FOR ALMOST 3 WEEK AND WENT TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT IT HAD OPEN RECALL, HAILDAMAGED, AND USED AS RENTAL, BUT THE DEALER DIDNT DISCLOSE ME ANYTHING. WHEN I WENT TO RETURN THIS CAR, THEN DEALER NAMED CHRIS SAID IT DOESNT HAVE TO DISCLOSE ANYTHING. NOTE, EVENTHOUGH, IT MIGHT BE SAFETY CONCERN LIKE THAT OPEN RECALL. I AM TIRED OF DRIVING THIS CAR WITH A OPEN RECALL FOR ALMOST ONE AND HALF MONTH, AND I DON'T LIKE THIS CAR AND WANT TO RETURN TO A DEALER BECAUSE HE LIED AND MISLED ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE CAR AND ENDANGER MINE AND MY FAMILY LIFE WITHOUT EVEN INFORMING ME ABOUT THE RECALL. PLEASE KINDLY TAKE A CONCRETE MEASURE, SO THAT DEALERS THIS ARE NOT MISLEADING AND LIEING ABOUT THE CAR'S CONDITION. I FILED COMPLAINT IN CONSUMER PROTECTION TOO AND THEY MENTIONED ABOUT TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. PLEASE KINDLY HELP ME.

THE VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR 15 MINUTES, THE ENGINE RAN ROUGH, REDUCED POWER MESSAGES, SERVICE ESC, AND SERVICE TRACTION MESSAGES APPEARED. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IT "WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT COULD ACCELERATE WITHOUT A FOOT ON THE GAS."

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I HAD TO STOP TO GET GAS. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I PULLED AWAY FORM THE PUMP AND PROCEEDED TO THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN I LEFT THE PARKING LOT TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON, ESC MESSAGE, AND SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WERE ACTIVATED. I DROVE BACK HOME AND WENT TO WORK IN MY OTHER VEHICLE. 162,409 MILES. I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY 2010. ALL OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. I'VE ONLY PURCHASED TIRES, TWO BATTERIES, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS FOR MY CAR UNTIL LAST WEEK. THAT WAS THE ENGINE COOLANT SENSOR. UNTIL NOW I ALWAYS BRAGGED AND SAID THAT MY MALIBU WAS THE BEST CAR EVER BECAUSE I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT.

I GOT MY MALIBU IN NOV.2013 AND IN AUGUST ON 2016 I TOOK IT IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND A CHECK I DO EVERY THREE MONTHS A WEEK LATER MY TRANSMISSION DIES, I GOT TO MY MOM RADIATION APPOINTMENT AND IT DIED IN THE PARKING LOT HAD TO TOW IT TO A MANICHEAN AND HE TELLS ME THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION DIED I DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY TO GET IT FIXED CAUSE I AM A FULL-TIME STUDENT SO MY CAR IS SITTING IN MY THE STREET AND I CAN NOT DRIVE MY MOTHER TO HER APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE WE HAVE NO CAR AND MY MOM IS ON A FIXED INCOME DUE TO THE FACT SHE IS 73 YRS OLD. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS WHEN I HAVE EVERYWHERE I GO THEY WANT 2500-4500 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED ALL UP FRONT AND NO PAYMENT PLANS??????

I GET THE SERVICE ESC ALERT AND WHEN I BRAKE, MY BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T LIGHT UP BUT WHEN I'M NOT BRAKING, THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS OFF AND ON

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL RANDOMLY STAY LOCKED EVEN WHEN ITS NOT LOCKED. THIS IS A SAFTEY HAZARD. YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOCK ACTUATOR.

MY "SERVICE AIR BAGS" LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND THEN REMAINING ON CONTINUALLY. I FOUND A LETTER WRITTEN BY THE DIRECTOR OF CUSTOMER & RELATIONSHIP SERVICES AT CHEVY BACK IN 2010 THAT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM AND STATED THAT "TO ENHANCE SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION, YOUR GM DEALERS WILL UPDATE THE WIRING HARNESS FOR BOTH FRONT SEAT SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FOR YOU AT NO CHARGE." I CONTACTED THE DEALER AT MESSER CHEVY IN LUBBOCK, TX, AND ALSO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT CHEVY. I OPENED UP CASE #8-2314213550 ON 8/19/16, AND I WAS TOLD TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS DONE AT THE DEALER, WHICH I DID. I THEN FOUND OUT THE CASE HAD BEEN ARBITRARILY CLOSED THE SAME DAY IT WAS OPENED! NOW CHEVROLET STATES THAT THE CASE WAS REOPENED ON 9/7/16. I JUST WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED FREE OF CHARGE SINCE THE PREVIOUS OWNER SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS WHEN CHEVY WAS OFFERING THE "SOFT RECALL" REPAIR AT NO CHARGE. CHEVY CALLED IT A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM AT THE TIME TO AVOID AN AIRBAG RECALL MEDIA HYPE. I ASSUME THIS ISN'T RELATED TO ANY TAKATA AIRBAG PROBLEM, BUT IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD! I AM GETTING THE RUNAROUND FROM BOTH CHEVROLET AND THE DEALER, AND I JUST THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. THE DEALER TURNED OFF THE WARNING LIGHT, BUT NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE TO DATE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE IDLING, THE ENGINE HESITATED AND THE RPM'S RANDOMLY INCREASED AND DECREASED. ALSO, THE SERVICE TRACTION, ESC, AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MMANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WAS TURNING ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND THE RPM WAS AT 5 BUT I WAS ONLY GOING 20 MPH.

MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON. IT STARTED ONLY COMING ON WHEN A PASSENGER WOULD GET IN OR OUT OF THE CAR. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON AND SENDS ME A NOTIFICATION THAT STATES "SERVICE AIRBAG" ACROSS THE DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD JUST UNDER THE SPEEDOMETER. THE LIGHT COMES ON AS SOON AS I START MY CAR AND REMAINS ON. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED. WHY IS THE SERVICE AIRBAG NOTIFICATION COMING ON?

I HAD TO HAVE OVER $2500 WORTH OF WORK DONE TO MY CAR, WHICH HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH SOME TORQUE SENSOR AND OTHER PARTS - I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER CHEVY MALIBU'S IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS. I AM WONDERING HOW LONG THIS RECALL WILL TAKE, MY YEAR IS 2010 AND NOT CURRENTLY ON THE RECALL LIST. PRIOR TO THAT, I HAD JUST PAID $2000 FOR OTHER WORK NEEDED ON THIS VEHICLE THAT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I'VE HAD SO MANY ISSUES W/THIS CAR. I HAVE RECEIPTS BUT THEY ARE CURRENTLY IN STORAGE - I AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD THEM RIGHT NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

ISSUE STARTED 08/27/16 WHILE 19 YEAR OLD WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. AS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS COMPRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. WHILE DRIVING THEY ARE ON. SERVICE TRACTION AND ESC WARNINGS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED THERE IS NOT AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. A CASE HAS BEEN OPENED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 09/01/16 AT MILLER AND SONS CHEVROLET. THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE ISSUE. I HAVE A SUSPICION THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE ON A PREVIOUS RECALL (14V252000) AFTER SEEING SOME RECENT COMPLAINTS FROM THOSE WHOM HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FIXED THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS THE 5 TIME IN 2 MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE SHOP. ONCE FOR INTAKE AND EXHAUST SOLENOID REPLACEMENT. "TAPPING NOISES" THESE ULTIMATELY LED TO A TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT OF WHICH GM COVERED 800.00. I HAD TO PAY 600.00. IN ALL I HAVE SPENT OVER 900.00 ON THIS VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS WHICH I FEEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER OTHER VEHICLE RECALLS. EITHER FIX THE EXISTING PROBLEMS OR TAKE THE VEHICLE OFF THE MARKET AND BUY BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE AIR BAG ERROR MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,200.

AS I PULLED OUT FROM WORK, I NOTICED THAT AS THE CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOING INTO SECOND OR THIRD GEAR, THE RPM'S JUST REVVED. I WAS HEADING DOWN A HILL AT THE TIME, AND WHEN IT GOT TO AROUND 30-35 MPH, THE GEAR CAUGHT (THANK GOODNESS BECAUSE IT WAS STARTING TO GET A BIT SCARY AT THAT MOMENT) AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN LIKE NORMAL. I HAD A FEW STOP LIGHTS ALONG THE WAY HOME, AND EACH TIME THAT I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN STARTED DRIVING, THE SAME THING WOULD OCCUR. AS I GOT HOME, I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, DAVID STANLEY CHEVROLET HERE IN OKLAHOMA CITY, TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. IT SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR THE DURATION OF THE WEEKEND, AND THEN I TOOK IT IN THIS MORNING (MONDAY AUG.22ND) FOR MY APPOINTMENT. AS I WAS DRIVING FROM MY HOUSE TO THE DEALERSHIP (AROUND 8 MILES) I NOTICED THAT IT HAD GOTTEN WORSE. A FEW TIMES ON THE TRIP I DID NOT THINK THAT IT WAS GOING TO MAKE IT THE WHOLE WAY THERE AND THEN ABOUT A MILE OR SO FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LATER, I HAD TO GO IN REVERSE AFTER I ARRIVED AND FOUND THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. I DROPPED IT OFF TO HAVE THEM DO THE DIAGNOSTIC ON IT FOR $120. AS I GOT HOME, MY WIFE AND I DID SOME RESEARCH ON OUR CAR, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT MIGHT BE WHILE THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS TAKING PLACE. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I WAS SHOCKED BY WHAT I FOUND. WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE WITH COMMENTS FROM OTHER CHEVY MALIBU OWNERS RANGING FROM 2000, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, AND 2011 DESCRIBING T

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOOSE AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND ON INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 IMPACTED THIS VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. 14V252000 STATES: "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) CONNECTION MAY RESULT IN VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR (BAS) CIRCUIT. THESE FLUCTUATIONS CAN CAUSE ONE OR MORE OF THESE CONDITIONS: THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED; THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE PEDAL IS PUSHED; ..." WHEN DRIVING BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SEEMED TO GO OFF WHEN SHE WOULD HAVE PRESSED ON THE BRAKES. WHEN A CHEVROLET DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND I EXPLAINED THE CONDITION WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE RECALL SYMPTOMS, I WAS TOLD IT WAS ALREADY FIXED AND ANY FURTHER WORK WOULD COST MONEY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE "FIX" IN THE RECALL I CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AT THE BCM. IT DID HAVE DIELECTRIC GEL APPLIED TO THE BDM WHERE THE CABLE CONNECTED SO REPAIR WAS DONE. AFTER REMOVING AND INSERTING THE CABLE SEVERAL TIMES TO REMOVE ANY CORROSION AT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, AND PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER MYSELF, THE PROBLEM HASN'T RETURNED YET. HOWEVER, THE CONDITION OF HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS REVERSED IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM, INITIALLY. BEFORE I RE-APPLIED THE FIX I DID DISCOVER THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T ENGAGE WHEN THE

ON AUGUST 21, 2016 I PLACE MY CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK UP OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN A RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT. THEN I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE MY CAR INTO DRIVE TO PULL OFF AND THE GEAR SHIFT MOVED BUT MY CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. SO IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKES SO THE CAR WOULD STOP. I LOOK AT MY GEAR SHIFT AND SAW IT WAS STILL IN REVERSE. I PLAYED WITH THE GEARS MOVING THE LEVEL BACK AND FORTH BUT THE CAR REMAIN IN REVERSE SO I TURNED MY CAR OFF. WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, MY CAR WOULDN'T START. NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO BUT GUESSING IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GEAR SHIFT, WITH THE HELP OF SOME CITIZENS WE TRIED TO PUSH THE CAR BACK INTO A PARKING SPACE. I THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO COME TOW MY TRUCK TO THE CLOSEST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, LUCKY ME WAS ONLY 23 MILES AWAY. I HAD A FRIEND COME PICK ME UP AND TAKE ME HOME WHERE I WENT ONLINE AND BEGAN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PART. THAT'S WHEN I CAME ACROSS THE RECALL REF THIS PART . UNKNOWN TO ME BECAUSE I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME AND ADVISE ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THEY STATED THEY DIDN'T SHOW ANY RECALLS ON MY VIN NO#,SO THE COST WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I CALLED THE NHTSA INQUIRING ABOUT EVERYTHING RELATING TO RECALL. THEY COULD ONLY CONFIRM THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART.I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE EVERYONE KEEPS STAT

VEHICLE HAS SERVICE AIRBAG ON REPEATEDLY, SEAT BELT ALARM GOES OFF EVEN WHEN SEAT BELT IS PROPERLY FASTENED. WHILE DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SERVICE ESC, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN TO 27 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY SUDDENLY TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN BE FATAL IF OCCURS ON FREEWAY. NO ONE CAN PROVIDE ANY REASON AS TO WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. I HAVE NO WARRANTY ON VEHICLE AND PURCHASED FROM A DEALER 3 YEARS AGO. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND HAVE HAD CAR LOOKED AT BUT THE ONLY SUGGESTION IS TO BLINDLY REPLACE DIFFERENT SENSORS AND PARTS. WE NEED A RECALL DONE SO NO LIVES ARE LOST DUE TO THIS SEVERE CAR MALFUNCTION.

WHILE DRIVING, NOTICED THAT THE CAR SEEMED SLUGGISH. AFTER BEING PARKED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, RESTARTED THE CAR AND GOT SEVERAL WARNINGS CONCERNING THE ESC, TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION LIGHTS WERE LIT AND REMAINED LIT. CAR HAS APPROX. 60,000 MILES ON IT. CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT "SERVICE ESC" AND "TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF " APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO, THE STEERING AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL FELT HEAVY AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. THE ISSUE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) AND WAS REPAIRED IN 2014. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT KEPT RANDOMLY ILLUMINATING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT AIR WAS LEAKING FROM ALL FOUR TIRES. A MECHANIC INSPECTED THE TIRES AND STATED THAT THE FACTORY RIMS WHEEL WELLS FRACTURED INTERNALLY AND WERE PREMATURELY DETERIORATING. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT ALL FOUR RIMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO RECOMMENDATION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,824.

CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR APX 2HRS. GOT INTO CAR AND WHAT APPEARED TO BE WATER DRIPPED FROM UNDER THE DASH ONTO THE FLOOR JUST UNDER THE EMERGENCY BREAK PEDDLE. IT HAD RAINED WITHIN THE LAST HOUR. THOUGHT OF IT AS ODD BUT NOT A REAL ISSUE. WITHIN ONE MINUTE OF DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL SHUTTERED. STEERING LIGHT ON DASH ELIMINATED. STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT. LIGHT WENT OUT. PARKED CAR. RESTARTED CAR AND LET IDLE S FEW MINUTES. STEERING LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. SEARCHED ONLINE. LOOKED UNDER DASH. CLEAR FLUID ON EMERGENCY BREAK PEDDLE. A FEW DROPS OF MOISTER IN SAME AREA. PARKED CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK FROM THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE KEY FOB ALSO FAILED TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO USE OTHER DOORS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,197. UPDATED 09/29/16*LJ *TR

BCM ISSUE RESULTING IN BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. BRAKES LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED, AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON AFTER CAR REACHES A SPEED OF 15 MPH. RECALL PRIOR REPLACED THE HARNESS IN 2014, BUT NOW CHEVY DEALER IS SAYING THIS IS NOT RELATED, YET IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF ORIGINAL RECALL BACK IN 2014. THE RECALL REPAIR IN 2014 SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A BAND-AID ON WHAT COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF A LIFE IF NOT REPAIRED CORRECTLY. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR OF A KNOWN ISSUE THAT GM ONLY PUT A TEMPORARY FIX ON BUT NEVER SOLVED THE ENTIRE PROBLEM.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE ERROR CODE IS P0010. I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR 6 MONTHS WITHOUT SOME ISSUE. THIS IS JUST THE LATEST IN A LONG LINE OF PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY STEERING COLUMN WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY 4.5 YEARS OLD. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT ONLY 5.5 YEARS OLD. I JUST HAD TO HAVE THE PASSENGER DOOR FIXED, AS IT LOCKED, AND WOULDN'T OPEN. AND NOW THIS P0010 CODE. I'M FACING YET ANOTHER COSTLY FIX ON THIS CAR. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ERROR CODE SO THAT I AM NOT FORCED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET YET AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT KEPT ILLUMINATING AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKES HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED NOR DIAGNOSED, BUT THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 09/27/16*LJ *TR

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARS AND STAYS ON WHEN I START THE CAR. THE LIGHT NEVER DISAPPEARS.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO 35 TO 40 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND I CALL TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND I WAS TOLD FOR SOME MODELS BUT NOT MINE AND IT'S DOING THE SAME AS THE OTHER CARS IT'S NOT SAFE.

DASHBOARD CLUSTER IS OUT AND GOES IN AND OUT AS WELL AS THE DIGITAL GEAR CHANGE. IT STARTED GIVING ME TRANSMITION ISSUES AND NOW ANYTHING DIGITAL IS COMPLETELY OUT.

REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ON THIS VEHICLE FROM RECALL ID 14V252000, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED ON THE RECALL. THE SERVICE TRACTION, SERVICE ESC AND ESC OFF WARNINGS DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD UNPREDICTABLY. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IDLING OR IN MOTION. WHEN THE WARNINGS POP UP THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE PEDAL,THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF BRIEFLY WHEN DEPRESSED, HOWEVER, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND REMAINS ON. ALSO WHEN THE WARNINGS ARE DISPLAYED, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES, AND I'M ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. TURNING THE KEY OFF RESETS THE WARNINGS, BUT THE WARNINGS AND SYMPTOMS RETURN AGAIN - SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY AND OTHER TIMES IT MAY TAKE HOURS OF DRIVING. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIRS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

1 YEAR AGO MY CAR FLASHED ESC SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL REDUCE ENGINE POWER AND REDUCED MY SPEND TO 40MPH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE! CALLED GM STATED WHAT HAPPEN AND I KNEW THEY HAD A RECALL BUT OF COURSE MY CARS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LOCAL GM DEALER SHIP TO PUT ON MACHINE TO SEE IF ANY CODES WOULD SHOW UP NOTHING CAME UP!!! I WAS TOLD THE MESSAGE WOULD HAVE TO BE SHOWING TO SERVICE VEHICLE. WELL HERE WE ARE A YEAR LATER WITH THE CAR IN THE SHOP BECAUSE MY CAR REDUCES ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING STALLS AND MY ESC SERVICE TRACTION REDUCE ENGINE POWER CAME ON MESSAGE BOARD BUT DID NOT STAY AFTER I TURNED KEY OF COURSE BECAUSE IT SHUT THE CAR OFF AFTER 2-5 MINUTES. I HAVE VIDEO OF IT READING ESC TRACTION SERVICE BUT THAT DOES NOT HELP! CAR NOW NEEDS A NEW TIMING CHAIN AND HAS METAL IN THE OIL! MIND YOU OF I WOULDVE BEEN ABLE TO SERVICE THE ESC TRACTION CONTROL COULD THIS ALL HAVE BEEN AVOIDED? MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP MAYBE 6 MONTHS AGO AND WAS PUT ON THE MACHINE TO GET CODES MINOR CODES CAME UP AND NOT THE ESC TRACTION CONTROL REDUCE ENGINE POWER. CALLED GM TODAY AND WAS TOLD MY MILAGE PLAYED PART IN THIS BUT I DOUBT THAT ONLY BECAUSE AT 68000 IT FLASHED ESC AND SHUT OFF ON ME WITHOUT WARNING SO NOW THEY WILL CONTACT THE SHOP. THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES IT IS A HAZARD TO BE ON THE ROAD! WE CAN NOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE CAR THIS CAR WAS BRAND NEW BUT HAS BEEN PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM ! HEADLIGHTS GO OUT ALL THE TIME AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTE

CHECK AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT DOES COME ON. WE HAVE BEEN HITTING THE "INFORMATION" BUTTON AND TURNING IT OFF. HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

TAKATA RECALL-MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUG. 2011. I AM TERRIFIED IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THEY WON'T DEPLOY AND MYSELF OR A PASSENGER MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. MY SON AND I WERE COMING BACK HOME FROM DENVER AND MY CAR STARTED ACTING STRANGE LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE AND IT SURE DID WHILE WE WERE ALMOST OUT OF EISENHOWER TUNNEL ON THE WEST END, WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER! THANK GOD HE MADE IT AROUND US SAFELY AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I AM SURE I REPORTED THIS ALREADY SHORTLY AFTER IT HAPPENED AND NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS, WAS SHAKING LIKE A LEAF ALL THE WAY....MY SON TOO. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIMMERING WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE AT 55-60 MPH AND IT ISN'T JUST A LITTLE ITS SEVER AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL I GET BACK UNDER THAT SPEED, I AM AFRAID OF LOOSING CONTROL. I DO WANT TO SAY I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE CAR, I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I BELIEVED IT WOULD BE A GREAT VEHICLE TO OWN AND I WAS PROUD TO DRIVE IT....THE CHEVROLET EMBLEM MEANT SOMETHING TO ME. I DOUBT I WOULD EVER BUY ANOTHER ONE, I WOULD BE AFRAID TO! IT IS SO SAD THAT THE QUALITY OF PRODUCTS AND THE PRIDE IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THEM HAS TAKEN A BACK SEAT TO PROFIT.....THE RECALLS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE RIDICULOUS! CAN'T RECALL SPECIFC DATE AS TO TUNNEL INCIDENT, ITS BEEN A FEW YEARS BACK, THE OTHER TWO PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN

I HAVE REPEATEDLY FILED COMPLAINTS WITH GM THAT MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON / MY BREAKLIGHT LOCATED IN BACK WINDOW WORKS OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO. I AM NOTIFING YOU IN WRITING THAT GM HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HELP ME. I GUESS IF MY AIR BAG EXPOLODES WHILE IM DRIVING AND I KILL SOME FOLKS IN AN ACCIDENT I JUST WANT YOU TO BE AWARE

I WAS GETTING ON I10 AS I BEGAN TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE MY CAR CAME TO CRAWL DID IT START TO GAIN POWER ALLOWING ME TO MERGE ONTO I10 SAFELY. SO I THOUGHT. AS I WAS REACHING 70MPH THE CAR STALLS ( NO STEERING NO ENGINE POWER) ON MY DASH BOARD IT READ REDUCE ENGINE POWER SERVICE TRACTION ! WTH OUT OF KNOW WHERE THIS HAPPEN THE DASH DIDNT READ THAT TILL MY CAR STALLED AND ALL POWER WAS LOSS. MIND U I HAVE A TODDLER AND AN [XXX] WITH ME IN A STALLED VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE. I CALLED GM THEY SAID I HAD NO RECALL ON MY CAR DUE TO MY VIN MY CAR AT THE TIME WAS AT 65000 MILE. THAT WAS MAYBE 1 YR AGO STARTING 7/17/16 AT 163000 MILES MY CAR STALLED TWICE MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL REDUCE ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE CAR STALLS LOOSES POWER! CALLED THE DEALER SHIP TO MAKE AN APPT FOR MONDAY BECAUSE I WORK AND I HAVE TWO KIDS THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY REALIBILE CAR. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP COME MONDAY BECAUUSE I FEEL IT IS A DANGER FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. IT STALLS WITH NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER IT TAKES 20 MINUTES TO START UP AFTER A STALL OUT! IT IS NOT SAFE IF MY CAR IS NOT IN THE RECALL HOW IS IT THAT MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS OTHER S?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD WHILE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS BEING OCCUPIED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

DURING A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR, I SWITCHED ON MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER SLOWING MY SPEED, I SWITCHED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO THE HIGHEST SPEED. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS, I HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND THE WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE ENTIRE WIPER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS ONLY 66,000 MILES ON IT. I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT IT COULD HAVE ENDED IN TRAGEDY. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE WIPER MOTOR, BUT THE PART THAT CONNECTS THE MOTOR TO THE WIPER BLADES.

MY 2010 CHEVY MALIBU IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BREAK LIGHTS WORKING IN REVERSE, THE ESC TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR IS GOING OFF. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BREAK LIGHT SWITCH AND IT'S STILL NOT WORKING. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I AM AN AVID CHEVY PERSON, I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR ALL RECALLS AND IT HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER. CAR WAS IN MOTION

BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION. BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED AT WHICH TIME, BRAKE LIGHTS EXTINGUISH. TRACTION CONTROL AND CRUISE CONTROL ALSO FAIL. SAME VEHICLE WITH SAME ISSUE WAS PREVIOUSLY SUBJECT TO SAFETY RECALL 13036. RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND ISSUE CONTINUED. BRAKE APPLY SENSOR WAS REPLACED, PRIOR TO RECALL AND ISSUE REMAINED. RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED ON 11/15/14. ISSUES INTERMITTENTLY OCCUR AND IN JUNE 2016 VEHICLE TAKEN TO GM DEALER WHERE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR WAS REPLACED. ISSUE STILL REMAINS AS BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL PEDAL PUSHED, TRACTION CONTROL AND CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE. A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH NHTSA REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AND ABOVE ISSUES PRIOR TO RECALL. ISSUES OCCUR WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, AND IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. MORE DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

THE AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF. WHERE I BROUGHT THE CAR THEY CAME IT WAS A SENOR AND THEY THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT BUT THE LIGHT IS BACK ON IT COMES ON WHEN I'M DRIVING

VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THE DRIVERS INFORMATION CENTER INDICATED A ELECTRONIC STABILITY SERVICE, TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE AND ESC OFF MESSAGES. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER A TWO DAY PERIOD. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY SAID THAT THE COMPUTER HAD STORED A P0300 CODE WHICH IS ENGINE MISFIRE. THE ENGINE RUNS FINE HOWEVER THERE IS A SLIGHT VIBRATION AT IDLE WHILE IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. GM ALSO SENT OUT A LETTER TO ME STATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE POSISTION SENSOR THAT MAY CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. THE DEALER DID NOT ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOS THE PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD A BAD #2 CYCLINDER WITH COMPRESSION AT 100LBS. THE P0300 CODE CAN BE CAUSED BY THE VARIOUS ELECTRONIC MESSAGES THAT HAVE APPEARED AND THE ENGINE IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THEY WANTED TO TEAR IT DOWN AT A COST OF $2300 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT EXIST. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 39000 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSSUE WITH NHTSA AND GM HAS NOT DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER ISSUE RELATING TO THIS IS THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE REDUCED POWER MESSAGE COMES ON IN SOME VEHILCLE AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE HIGWAYS. SO FAR MY CAR HAS NOT DONE THAT. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE SOME PRESSURE EXERTED ON GM TO CORRECT THESE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLE SINCE THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT ALONG WITH OUR TAXPAYER FUNDS.

THE ORIGINAL RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IS 13036, THIS INVOLVED THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING DUE TO A FAULTY CONNECTOR AND OR CONNECTION. GM INSTRUCTED THEIR PERSONNEL TO CLEAN THE PART, APPLY CORROSIVE RESISTANT GREASE TO IT AND REATTACH. THE ISSUE IS, THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AND THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO MANIFEST ITSELF UNLESS THE ENTIRE HOUSING IS REPLACED (AT A COST OF ALMOST 600.00). I TOOK MY CAR FOR THE RECALL "REPAIR" IN SEPT OF 2014, THE THIRD WEEK OF JUNE 2015 MY BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED WORKING IN REVERSE ORDER AGAIN. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, NOT CLEANED. THE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID AS MUCH, TELLING ME THAT CLEANING IT WOULD HELP IN THE SHORT TERM BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MONTHS, IF THAT. THAT MEANS THAT GM IS ALLOWING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO DRIVE THESE CARS KNOWING FULL WELL THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTING SYSTEM IS SUBJECT TO FAILURE, WHICH IS VERY HARD FOR THE DRIVER TO DETECT. PLEASE REOPEN THIS RECALL, OR OPEN A NEW ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED CORRECTLY, JUST THINK OF A MALIBU WITH A FAMILY IN IT STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE SEMI COMING UP BEHIND THEM DOESN'T KNOW TRAFFIC IS STOPPED BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON, THE DRIVER OF THE MALIBU HAS NO CLUE THAT THEIR LIGHTS ARE WORKING IN REVERSE ORDER, YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW TRAGIC THE ENDING OF THAT STORY COULD BE.

FIRST REPAIR, AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED IT WAS A LOOSE WIRE. 2ND REPAIR, ESC MAINTENANCE REQUIRED, TRACTION SERVICE REQUIRED, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, VEHICLE WILL NOT LEAVE NEUTRAL. IF GAS IS APPLIED VEHICLE JUMPS AND SHAKES. 3RD IS SAME AS 2ND AND 4TH VISIT IS SAME AS PREVIOUS EXCEPT WHEN I RECEIVED OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IT COULD NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. AFTER MENTIONING THE LEMON LAW THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW TRYING TO BLAME THIS TECHNICALLY 5TH VISIT ON AN IGNITION COIL EVEN THOUGH ESC MAINTENANCE MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED WITH TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE PWR REDUCED, THE VEHOCLE WAS STILL SHAKIG, AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHEN IT WASN'T BEFORE.
