2007 Chevrolet Malibu Cruise Control Problems

my car has stalled multiple times while in use, on the highway. VERY SCARRY!

WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR'S RPM AND SPEED INCREASES TEMPORARILY....THEN RETURNS TO ITS SET SPEED ON ITS OWN.

MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS CHEVROLET RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT ENGAGE ALL THE TIME WHEN ON INTERSTATE DRIVING AND WORKS SPORADICALLY. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK IN REVERSE WHERE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON BUT WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. ALSO, YOU HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES HARD TO GET THE LIGHTS TO COME ON. JUST A SLIGHT TAP ON THE BRAKES DOES NOT TURN ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

SATURDAY I WAS RUNNING ERRAND AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON, BEFORE I COULD GET HOME THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED NOTICE CAME ON AND MY POWER WAS BARELY AT A CRAWL UNTIL I MADE IT HOME. THE GOOD THING IS I WAS ON SURFACE STREETS. HAD I BEEN ON THE FREEWAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I MAKE CERTAIN MY CAR HAS THE NECESSARY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND I WAS JUST AT MAITA CHEVROLET IN ELK GROVE LESS THAN A MONTH AGO AND THEY NEVER ONCE INDICATED A POTENTIAL PROBLEM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY.

THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A SCRATCH TO THE LEFT ARM THAT DID NOT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A TECHNICIAN FROM THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,439. UPDATED 4/15/15*CN

CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN NEEDED AND WHEN IT FINALLY PICKS UP SPEED IT SHOOTS AHEAD, HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING HIT FROM BEHIND AND HITTING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME WHEN IT SHOOTS AHEAD. HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER 5 TIMES, THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH CAR. HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET ALSO TO NO AVAIL. PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING. *TR

EXITING ON OFF-RAMP... ACCELERATOR STUCK... WHEN I REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE CAR ACCELERATED AS THE WHEELS WERE TURNED... ALMOST WENT INTO SPIN... TURNED WHEELS IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS BRAKES WERE APPLIED... AFTER SPIN WAS UNDER CONTROL... BRAKES WERE RELEASED THEN ACCELERATOR KICKED IN AND VEHICLE SPED UP WHILE WHEELS WERE TURNED AND COLLIDED WITH WALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE... *TR
