2013 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

THIS IS THE SECOND WHEEL BEARINGS I HAD TO REPLACE IN A YEAR. MAKES A SCREECHING NOISE.

WHILE DRIVING, SERVICE AIR BAGS ,SERVICE ANTI TEFT SYSTEM,WARNINGS COME ON, A/C,RADIO SHUT OFF ASWELL AS GAS ,SPEED ODOMETER,ALL GAUGES SHUT DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE REAR BUMPER DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AND WAS LYING IN THE ROAD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH, IT SUDDENLY STOPPED,LOCKED UP, AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE ELECTRICAL PANEL GOES OFF AND ON WHEN IT WANTS TO. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT STEER AND IT GETS REALLY STIFF. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE A CAR THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUTS DOWN AND LOCKS UP. THIS CAN KILL SOMEONE. THERE NEEDS TO BE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FOR GM TO FIX THESE CARS. NO ONE CAN FIX THEM BUT WE ARE STUCK PAYING FOR THEM STILL AND RISKING OUR LIVES.

I HAVE A MALIBU ECO BOOST. ON JUNE 23, 2015 I WAS DRIVING ON 96 AND THE CHARGING SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER BUT THE KEYS COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. I HAD IT TOWED TO GRAFF CHEVROLET ANDTHEY SAID THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND WRONG WAS A SPEEDSENSOR. THE GUY TOM SAID I COULD COME GET MY VEHICLE AT 8PM SINCE THEPART WAS ENROUTE. I DROVE OVER 80 MILES TO GET THERE AT8 AND MY CAR WASN'T READY BUT THE GUY SAID I COLD TAKE IT WITH ME. I DID NOT.THEY FIXED THAT THEN SAID IT WAS A RIGHT WHEEL HUB.I KNOW THESE TWO THINGS HAVENOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM. TOOKMY CAR HOME AND THE SAME THINGHAPPENED ON THE HOLIDAY JULY 4TH.WHY DIDN'T THECOMPUTER OR THE MECHANIC DETECT A PROBLEM WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM.

MY VEHICLE HAS 49000 MILES ON IT WHILE DRIVING I LOOSE POWER STEERING...THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP.. RADIO TURNS OFF...AND THE DASH LIGHTS GO OFF... AFTER A SECOND I GET POWER BACK AND CONTROL.. I HAVE ALMOST HAD HEAD ON COLLISIONS A 2 OCCASIONS.. I ALSO HAD MY STEERING COMPLETELY LOCK WHILE PARKED.. AND AS WITH BEFORE MY RADIO WENT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.... THIS IS A HAZARD AND SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ADDRESSED... I HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALER FOR THIS AND THEY INFORMED ME I HAD 13 PLUS WARNINGS POP UP ON DIEGNOSTICS, HOWEVER, THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM AND RESET THE COMPUTER... 3 DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM CAME BACK...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING AN ABNORMAL NOISE FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO MONTHS LATER WITH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

THESE PROBLEMS OCCURRED ON PAVED OR CONCRETE CITY STREETS. AT LEAST ONCE LAST MONTH AND 3 TIMES THIS MONTH I EXPERIENCED TRANSIENT EPISODES OF WHAT I CATEGORIZE AS POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THREE OF THESE TIMES WERE AT REDUCED SPEEDS LESS THAN 20 MPH DURING A TURN AND ONCE TRAVELING 65 MPH DOWN A STRAIGHT SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY. ON TWO OF THE TURNING EVENTS I MANAGED TO AVOID HEAD ON COLLISIONS WITH OTHER VEHICLES AT THE INTERSECTION/PARKING ENTRANCE. THESE EPISODES ARE SHORT DURATIONS AND MAY BE CHARACTERIZED BY SUDDEN STIFFNESS IN THE WHEEL, JERKING TO ONE SIDE OR WHAT SEEMS LIKE A POWER STEERING FAILURE. ON THE LAST EVENT TODAY A POWER LOSS TO MY CONSOLE WAS NOTED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND GIVEN MY NEAR MISSES IN THE SHORT TIME I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR, I HAVE TO WONDER HOW MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS PROBLEM WERE OUT THERE THAT ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. ON A SAFETY NOTE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM TO MAINTAIN A FIRM GRIP WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL WHEN MAKING A TURN ON A SEPARATE NOTE I MENTIONED THAT I ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THE TIRES. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN A MODERATE DOWNPOUR. THE CAR SEEMED TO LOSE TRACTION ON EVERY PUDDLE I HIT. IT MADE FOR A VERY SCARY RIDE AND FORCED ME TOO CAREFULLY REDUCE SPEED TO A MINIMUM OF 45-50MPH. THIS IS STILL VERY SUBJECTIVE AND I STILL NEED TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, BUT IT DID NOT FEEL LIKE HYDROPLANING AS I KNOW IT.

WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN COME BACK ON FINE BUT THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKES LOCK UP. IT WILL RANDOMLY DO THIS. IT HAPPENS ON NORMAL SIDE STREETS AS WELL AS ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN WHILE SITTING STILL IN PARK. THE CAR WAS TURNED ON BUT THE RADIO WOULD BLINK AND THE AIR STOP AND THEN AFTER ABOUT 6 SECONDS IT WILL START AGAIN LIKE NORMAL. HOWEVER ABOUT 4 TIMES IT HAS HAD MAJOR EPISODES WHERE ALL OF THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK (LIKE I WAS RESTARTING THE CAR), THE WHEEL LOCKS UP, THE BRAKES LOCK UP, THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND THEN ABOUT 6 SECONDS IT WILL JERK LIKE IT'S GOING INTO GEAR AND ONCE I PULL OVER AND RESTART IT, IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN OR IT MAY BE FINE FOR A WHILE. IT HAS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN ON THESE 4 TIMES WORDS OF "CHECK POWER STEERING OR STABILITRAK WARNING" IT'S VERY SCARY. I'VE ALMOST WRECKED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES BECAUSE THE WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I WAS IN A TURN WHEN IT DID IT. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN AND WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER ON THE INTERSTATE AT RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A DEATH TRAP. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THAT THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO. THEY SAY IT IS THE ECM. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR IT SINCE IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. I'VE HAD THIS CAR SINCE OCTOBER AND ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES FOR THIS AND OVERHEATING. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I'M NOT THE O

ENGINE SHUTOFF - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUES: NOTICED PROBLEMS WHEN TURNING LEFT AND ENGAGING TURN SIGNAL: THE RADIO WOULD TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON. THE INTERACTIVE SYSTEM WOULD ALSO TURN OFF/ON. A/C FAN WOULD SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN. USING BLUETOOTH SYNCED PHONE WOULD CAUSE INTERACTIVE SYSTEM TO TURN OFF/ON AND WOULD KILL ENGINE. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES NO LONGER WOULD WORK DUE TO ENGINE CUT-OFF. DURING WARM WEATHER (70 DEGREES F), ONE NUANCE THAT SEEMED INDICATIVE OF THE PREVIOUS THINGS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, THE OUTSIDE TEMP ON THE INTERACTIVE SYSTEM WOULD READ IN THE 30'S AND THE DASH WOULD LET YOU KNOW ABOUT POSSIBLE ICY CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD. I WAS LUCKILY DRIVING 10 MPH WHEN ENGINE CUT-OFF AND IN A DEALER PARKING LOT. HOWEVER, I DID EXPERIENCE ALL OF THE OTHER ISSUES UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER A WEEK AGO AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE MY ISSUES. TODAY, THEY SAW THEM FIRST HAND.

CARS BRAKES ARE BASICALLY STUCK. BRAKE ASSIST COMING ON AND CAUSING BRAKE LIGHTS ON EXTERIOR OF CAR TO STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED, ALSO WHILE CAR IS OFF WITH KEY OUT OF VEHICLE. WHEN LETTING OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR COMES TO A STOP VERY QUICKLY AS IF YOU WERE APPLYING THE BRAKES. IT IS HARD TO ACCELERATE GOING FORWARD AND IN REVERSE. CAR SHAKES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A HOT SMELL COMING FROM CAR AFTER THIS HAPPENS

OUT OF THE BLUE CAR LOOSES ELECTRICAL POWER, RADIO, POWER STEERING, ETC. THEN COMES BACK ON. CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WILL IN PARKING LOT. BROUGHT CAR INTO DEALER SAID THEY WOULD UPDATE THE PROGRAMING PER BULLETIN. CAR WAS GOOD FOR TWO DAYS THEN HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, HOPE THEY CAN FIX. GM NEEDS MORE SCRUTINY...

PROBLEM 1: DRIVING CAR AT 40MPH (ON A CITY STREET) IT BEGINS TO OVERHEAT, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZES THEN STALLS OUT REPEATEDLY. TAKE VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, TECHNICIAN SAYS NEED TO REPLACE PARKING BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (WATER INTRUSION) GM PAYS 50/50 PAYMENT ASSISTANCE, I PAID $417.23.

THE BRIEF BOX POPS UP FOR A FEW SECONDS, INDICATING CHECK POWER STEERING, STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT ON AND PARKING BRAKE SAYS IT'S ON. ALL THIS HAPPENED, EIGHT TIMES IN TEN MINUTES. THEN I PROCEED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I NEARLY HIT A VEHICLE THAT WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT I DID NOTICE WHEN I HAD THE A/C ON IT HAPPENED REPEATEDLY.

PWER STEERING STOPPED FOR 3 OR 4 SECONDS ON A CITY STREET AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ON TO A THROUGH STREET, LUCKY NO CARS VERY CLOSE, PULLED INTO A PARK LOT AND HAPPENED AGAIN, LUCKY NO CARS CLOSE BY. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, BEFORE TO LATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT WOULD INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATE WHILE DRIVING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, IT SPORADICALLY HAD AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WITH THE RADIO AND CRUISE CONTROL SET AND I HIT THE BLINKERED TO CHANGE LANES AND THE RADIO AND CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING FOR A MOMENT. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SUPPOSEDLY IT WAS FIXED. TWO DAYS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. SOMETIMES IF YOU ROLL THE WINDOW UP OR DOWN IT SHUTS THE RADIO OFF. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND CLICK THE BRIGHTS ON THE RADIO AHUTS OFF AND THW ENTIRE DASH GOES BLACK AND I LOSE ALL POWER INCLUDING THE STEERING AND THE ENGINE REVS. SOMETIMES I WILL BE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN TOWN AND IF I SLIGHTLY ACCELERATE THE RADIO SHUTS OFF. ONCE I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND I HAD MY TURN SIGNAL ON TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. TOO MANY INCIDENTS TO GO INTO DETAIL HERE. HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY SAY THERE IA NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I EVEN CALLED GM DIRECTLY TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND ALL THEY DID WAS WAIVE MY DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND NEXT TIME IT DOES IT TO BRING IT BACK. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO I GUESS I'LL TAKE IT BACK AGAIN IN THE MORNING. SEEMS LIKE GM ISN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS. I KEEP READING COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES I AM HAVING YET NO RECALL AND GM ACT

A LOW HUMMING NOISE EMITTING FROM REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. THE NOISE GETS LOUDER AS THE SPEED INCREASES. THE NOISE APPEARED AT AROUND 470000. I HAVE 52000 MILES CURRENTLY. RIGHT SIDE WHEEL BEARING REPLACED AND NOW APPEARS THE LEFT SIDE NEEDS REPLACEMENT. TOOK VEHICLE TO CERTIFIED MECHANIC.

MY WIFE WHO WAS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING LOCKED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH.THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT, ALSO LOCKED AT LOW SPEED WHILE TURNING.WHENT TO 2 DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERS WHO SAID THEY COULDNT FIND A PROBLEM. CONTACTED CHEVY USA WHO ADVISED ME THERE WAS THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AND ISSUED A GM CASE# 8-1929724465. DEALER GRAND PRIZE CHEVROLET 11701 SW 152 STREET MIAMI FLORIDA IS NOW TRYING TO CHARGE ME FOR THE SOFTWARE REPAIR THAT GM SAID WOULD RESOLVE THIS HAZARDOUS DEFECT IN THEIR VEHICLE. STILL TRYING TO RESOLVE......

AIR BAG DEPLOYED IN ACCIDENT CAUSING DAMAGE TO FACE CHEST LEG ALSO SEATBELT CAUSED SEVERE BRUISING TO LOWER ABDOMEN.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND STEERING WHEEL JERKS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. FIRST RADIO LIGHT ALL GO OFF, THEN STEERING JERKS AND LOSE POWER STEERING AND DASH LIGHTS GO OFF, THEN FLASH. THIS ALL LASTS 5-10 SECONDS, THEN EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. HAD CAR TO DEALER TO FIX SAME PROBLEM 4 DAYS PRIOR TO IT HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS OCCURS USUALLY WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING AND WHEN STEERING JERKS AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING IT IS SURPRISING AND HAVE ALMOST HIT SEVERAL VEHICLES WHILE GOING 55-65MPH. SOMETIMES OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN AND TURNING, ESPECIALLY TURNING RIGHT. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY TELL ME THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS. ALSO SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT MY CAR DEALER AND CALL ME BACK IN 2 DAYS. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BACK FROM THEM.

THE CHROME FINISH IS PEELING ON THE INTERIOR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE. THE CHROME PLASTIC IS VERY SHARP AND CAUSES CUTS WHEN OPENING THE DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WITH THE FRONT AND REAR DEFOGGERS ACTIVATED, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND. THE ENTIRE REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL INTO A DRIVEWAY AND CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

MY VEHICLE IS AT APPROXIMATELY 42,000 MILES AND JUST RECENTLY AT A STOP LIGHT (MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES) UPON MY SLOW ACCELERATION, LIGHTLY STEPPING ON THE GAS (APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH) MY CAR IDLED EXTREMELY ROUGH AND THEN IT DIED. THE RADIO REMAINED ON AND THE LIGHTS WERE ON, SO THE ONLY INDICATOR THAT POINTED ME TOWARDS MY CAR DYING OUT WAS THE FACT THAT THE AC CUT OFF, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE RPM WENT TO 0. IMMEDIATELY I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SWITCHED THE KEY TO OFF AND THEN HAD NO TROUBLE RE-STARTING MY VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE THEN I HAD THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR REPLACED (THERE ARE TWO CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND BOTH WERE REPLACED $117.00 USD) AND I HAD MY BATTERY LOAD TESTED AS WELL AS MY ALTERNATOR. EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT GOOD, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WHAT IS GOING ON???

BROKEN DRIVERS SEAT FRAME. THE SEAT BACK RECLINING FUNCTION ONLY WORKS ON THE LEFT SIDE, WHILE THE RIGHT SIDE IS STUCK. MULTIPLE ONLINE COMPLAINS FROM MALIBU OWNERS,

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND APPARENTLY THE VAPOR CANISTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 49K MILES. CRAPPY CHEVY CARS. NOT HAPPY.

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASE MY VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO STALL OR SHUT DOWN. FIRST INCIDENT, I PULLED UP AT SCHOOL AND INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN, NOT ALLOWING ME TO TURN THE KEY INTO THE OFF POSITION IN THE IGNITION. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE GEAR IN PARK, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT COME ON. THEY SENT IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK 2 WEEKS LATER AND I DROVE OVER 200 MILES OUT OF TOWN. ONCE I MADE IT TO WHERE I WAS GOING A SLOWED DOWN TO TURN A CORNER AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP LIKE IT LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION AND ONCE THERE THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HE TOLD TO ME PUSH THE BUTTON TO PUSH THE SEAT BACK AND ONCE ALL THE WAY BACK, TO THEN PUSH THE BUTTON THE MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD. ONCE I BEGAN TO PUSH THE SEAT FORWARD THE WHOLE CAR POWERED BACK ON. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS ON AND OFF SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE IN 2015. IT HAS BEEN SENT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE VEHICLE TO START TO CUT OFF ONTHE REGULAR NOW, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND REGULAR STREETS. I DRIVE AT LEAST 25 MILES TO WORK EVERYDAY. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE HARM TO MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED SOON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS THE FRONT END VEERED.

I USE MY REMOTE START FAIRLY OFTEN LIVING IN MICHIGAN. OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS STARTED NOT TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD. EVEN ON HIGHEST TEMPERATURE AND FULL BLAST. FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT IT NO LONGER BLOWS ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE DOORS THAT SWITCH IT TO THE WINDSHIELD AND CABIN HAVE STOPPED GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE WINDSHIELD AND BLOW DIRECTLY INTO THE DASH. SO IT SOUND LIKE IT'S WORKING. BUT NOT MUCH AIR ACTUALLY HITS THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE FOUND MANY FORUMS WITH THIS AS AN ISSUE AND IT IS A CAR 3 YEARS OLD. AND IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX FOR SOMEONE STILL PAYING OFF THE CAR.

IN SUMMER 2015 WHILE USING AC, HEAT RANDOMLY WOULD BLAST OUT. (WHILE IDLE OR DRIVING). WOULD HAVE TO RESTART CAR TO GET AC TO WORK AGAIN. IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS DEC15/JAN16, ENGINE OVERHEATED-IDLE INDICATOR CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ONCE AT 65 MPH, ONCE AT 30 MPH. THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER IT WOULD TURN OFF. I LOOKED AT TEMP GAUGE, AND IT WAS NOT AT AN OVERHEATING LEVEL (HALF WAY ONLY). ALSO, NOW HEAT ONLY INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. I WILL HAVE TO TURN CAR ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY, AND TURN AC ON/OFF, HEAT ON/OFF, DEFROST ON/OFF, AND SOMETIMES THE HEAT WILL FINALLY GET WARM. NEVER SEEMS TO GET HOT LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP FOR THE ENGINE OVERHEATED/IDLE WARNING AND STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG. SAFETY ISSUE NOT HAVING HEAT FOR FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROST WHEN IT'S UNDER 30 DEGREES OUT. MECHANIC SAID IT'S PROBABLY A COMPUTER ISSUE WITH THE CAR. BUT NOW I'M SEEING THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY CAR OWNERS. GM NEEDS TO RECALL, AS THIS CAN BE A SAFETY CONCERN!

WHILE DRIVING HOME, I RECEIVED A WARNING TO SERVICE MY BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM. EVENTUALLY, THE BATTERY SAVER WAS ACTIVATED. I LOST MY POWER STEERING EVENTUALLY AND MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING. I COULD JUMP THE CAR TO START BUT MY CAR WOULD DIE WHEN PUT IN GEAR. MY VEHICLE HAS 51,000 MILES AND YET THE DRIVE BELT BROKE. WHILE REPAIRING IT, THE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVE BELT TENSIONER PULLEY WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACED. MY VEHICLE IS NOT OLD ENOUGH NOR WITH ENOUGH MILES TO WARRANT THIS PART GOING BAD. I HAD TO PAY A $700 REPAIR BILL BECAUSE IT IS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. *JS

SO I HAVE A 2013 MALIBU LT WHICH I HAD TOOK TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ENDED UP BEING THAT THE CAM SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW THAT I GOT MY CAR BACK 2 WEEKS LATER WITH 33,000 MILES IT KEEPS COMING UP WITH SERVICE STABILITRAK. IT STALLS OUT ON ME SO I TAKE IT BACK IN AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIKE IS NOT ON. SO I HAVE MY CAR BACK AND IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM...AT A STOP THE CAR WILL SHOW SERVICE STABILITRAK AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF!! TONIGHT DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I GOT SCARED BECAUSE IT DID IT TO ME ABOUT 6 TIMES AND MIND YOU ITS A 20 MINUTE DRIVE. AS I TURNS ON MY LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR DID IT AGAIN AND SEEMED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING IT. THE CAR SLOWED ITSELF AND THE STEREO SHUT OFF AND THEN EVERYTHING FLASHED AS IF I HAD JUST TURNED THE CAR ON AND ALL THE DOORS RELOCKED ITSELF. AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN NEXT I'M TAKING IT IN AGAIN AND DEMANDING THAT THEY RESEARCH THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT...AND I DON'T CARE IF THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON, THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE I'M TO THE POINT THAT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR IN FEAR THAT I MIGHT CAUSE A WRECK DUE TO MY CAR SHUTTING OFF BY ITSELF!! IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO GET THIS RESOLVED SO I CAN EXPLAIN TO THE MECHANIC AT THE CHEVY DEALER WHO SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR..PLEASE HELP!!
