THE IS A MESSAGE THAT COMES ACROSS THE RADIO SCREEN TO SERVICE AIRBAG. IT IS REFERRING TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT THE AIRBAG ON LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON THE INDICATOR LOCATED ABOVE THE RADIO. IT CONTINUES TO STATE THE AIRBAG IS OFF. ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE PART REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS DISCONTINUED BY GM AND THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET PART FOR THIS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT IS A MODULE. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY CURRENT RECALLS TO MY KNOWLEDGE. MY CONCERN IS THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FEATURE TO HAVE AND THERE BEING NO REPLACEMENT PART IS TROUBLING. *TR

MY BODY CONTROL MODULE WENT OUT. I JUST PARKED ONE DAY AND WHEN I WENT BACK OUT TO START IT THE NEXT DAY IT WAS BROKEN. I LOVE MY MALIBU AND IT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A MONTH. I LOST MY JOB BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE A DISABLED HUSBAND AND TWO KIDS. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE BROKE BECAUSE OF THESE RECALLS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND AM BEGGING FOR YOUR HELP. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET MY CAR FIXED FOR FREE. TEXT OR CALL ME @ [XXX]. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

GAUGES WILL QUIT WORKING, LOW FUEL AND POWER STEERING POPS UP ON RADIO, THEFT DETERRENT LIGHT COMES ON, CRUISE CONTROL SHUTS OFF, SAYS ERROR ON ODOMETER. IT WILL DO IT WHEN DRIVING AND STATIONARY. ALSO WHEN IT DOES DO THIS YOU CAN FEEL THE ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY LOSE POWER

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG SENSO ALWAYS ON; AUTO DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, SIDEVIEW MIRRORS; SEATBELT SENSOR & SOUND ALERTS WHEN SHOULDN'T; AC COOLING SYSTEM DOESN'T GET COOL; FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK & ALWAYS ON LOW-FUEL INDICATOR EVEN WHEN WE'VE FILLED UP; DOME LIGHT DIM; POWER LOCKS DON'T WORK PROPERLY - ONLY DRIVER SIDE WORKS SOMETIMES

KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION BUY ENGINE STILL RUNNING WHILE PARKED. SEEMS OTHER YEARS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A SAFETY DESIGN FAULT WHERE THE PASSENGER PRESSENCE SENSOR(PPS) DEFAULTS CAUSING THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON DISSABLING THE WHOLE WHOLE AIRBAG PROTECTION SYSTEM. THIS CAR SHARES THE SAME PARTS WITH THE 2007 SATURN AURA WHOSE MODEL HAS BEEN SAFETY RECALLED FOR TE PPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ANTI-THEFT LOCK SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND THE ANTI-THEFT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURES OCCURRED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURES, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES STOPPED WORKING AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ADDITIONALLY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE IGNITION WOULD NOT START AND THE ANTI-THEFT LOCK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IT WAS UNKNOWN AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE. MCCARTHY CHEVROLET LEE'S SUMMIT (945 SE OLDHAM PARKWAY, LEE'S SUMMIT, MO, (816) 356-6610) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FALURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH REFERENCE NUMBER: 8-4569149800. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,480.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE CRUISE CONTROL SUDDENLY WENT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION CYLINDER WAS OFF, I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND RESEARCHED RECALLS ON THIS CAR THROUGH THE SAFECAR.COM WEBSITE AND SAW A TRANSMISSION RELATED RECALL (RECALL NUMBER 14152). I CALLED THE ASSOCIATED GM RECALL CENTER TOLD THEM MY ISSUE AND GAVE THEM THE RECALL NUMBER. THE REPRESENTATIVE PULLED UP THE RECALL DESCRIPTION FOR RECALL NUMBER 14152 AND THE CONSEQUENCES LISTED IN THE GM DIRECTORY WERE NOT THE SAME LANGUAGE AS THE CONSEQUENCES ON SAFECAR.GOV. SHE COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE DESCRIPTION WAS NOT THE SAME IN THE GM DIRECTORY AS THE GOVERNMENT SAFECAR WEBSITE AND I FOUND THAT DISTURBING. SO THAT IS MY FIRST COMPLAINT--THE GM SYSTEM AND NATIONAL WEBSITE ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE. SECONDLY, MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY AND THE TRANSMISSION CYLINDER IN MY CAR IS OFF, UNDER MY VIN THE CAR HAD THE TRANSMISSION RECALL FIXED IN 2015 BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. 3 YEARS LATER AND THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THAT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE A TRANSMISSION RECALL BE DONE ON THE "FIX" AND THAT COST OF FIXUPS BE RESTITUTED BY GM. HAVE OTHER "FIXED" MALIBU RECALLS BEEN AN ISSUE? THANK YOU.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, CITY STREET, TURNING. THE STEERING WHEEL WPULD TURN THE OPPOSITE WAY THAT I HAD TO TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD ALSO LOCK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO THE WALL. WHEN I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE TGE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE AND TURN BY ITSELF. I JUST DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS 9 RECALL NOTICES FROM 06/27/2014 TO 02/23/2015. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT OWNED UP TO THESE RECALLS. DUE TO MULTIPLE OF THESE RECALLS MY TWO CHILDREN (AGES [XXX] AND [XXX]), MY HUSBAND, AND MY LIFE (PREGNANT) COULD HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO AN ALMOST VEHICLE COLLISION DUE TO THESE RECALLS. 06/27/2014 RECALL FOR TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. 06/27/2014 RECALL FOR POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT. 08/18/2014 RECALL FOR SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:SWITCHES:BRAKE LIGHT. 08/18/2014 RECALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING. 08/18/2014 RECALL EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS. 08/18/2014 RECALL VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL. 08/18/2014 RECALL ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL. 09/08/2014 RECAL FOR STEERING. 02/23/2015 RECAL FOR STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT'S FATHER OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE CONTACT'S FATHER WAS DRIVING, HE WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE BECAUSE THE CENTER THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILED TO WORK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HEDRICK'S CHEVROLET (961 W SHAW AVE, CLOVIS, CA 93612, (559) 512-6549) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTIONED AND THE WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

2007 CHEVY MALIBU ELECTRICAL HELL MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY FINE ASIDE FROM THE POWER STEERING RECALL THAT WAS FIXED ON IT. THEN ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER MY CAR CRANKS BUT DOESN'T START! I WAS DRIVING IT 20 MINS PRIOR AND THEN THIS HAPPENS. THE RADIO,THE LIGHTS, THE HORN AND THE DINGING WITH THE DOOR OPEN, ALL STILL WORKED. UNSUCCESSFULLY TRYING TO START IT I LEFT IT ALONE TO GET TOWED. 5 DAYS LATER I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK SAYING IT STARTED JUST FINE THEY CAN'T DETECT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT, BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T READ THE CODE IT GAVE OUT, AND TO KEEP NOTES OF WEIRD THINGS TO BRING IT BACK IN. IN DOING SO MY CAR WAS FINE FOR A MONTH AND A HALF, THEY'RE WERE NO ISSUES. THE NEXT TIME MY CAR DID THE CRANK AND NO START I NOTICED THE SECURITY ICON LIGHTING UP, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT I LEFT MY RADIO AND AIR ON. IT'S LATE AT NIGHT, I'M ALONE AND MY CAR IS FAILING ME, AFTER TRYING FOR 15 MINUTES I GOT MY CAR TO START. THE THIRD TIME IS THE WORST TIME, BY THIS POINT IT'S ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER THE 2ND INCIDENT. SAME SCENARIO, JUST DROVE IT 20 MINS PRIOR AND IT WAS FINE, THEN ANOTHER CRANK NO START FOR HOURS. EVEN TRIED TO LEAVE MY KEY IN TO IGNITION. AFTER HOURS I GOT IT TO START AND MAKING IT HOME THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND CAME TO A COMPLETE HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EXTREMELY BUSY STREET, PUTTING ON MY BRAKE LIGHTS I AVOIDED GETTING REAR ENDED. I TOOK THE KEY OUT AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT STARTED SOMEHOW. AFTER GETTING IT HOME I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE AND A NUMBER OF MORE ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING. MY LOCKS HAVE NOW STARTED TO MAKE AN OBNOXIOUS BUZZING NOISE WHEN GETTING UNLOCKED, THE SERVICE AIR BAG NOTIFICATION WILL LIGHT-UP ON THE DASH AND DISAPPEAR QUICKLY, ALL ICONS LIGHT UP ON DASHBOARD , SECURITY ICON FLASHES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, CAR WILL NOT START ON CRANK, RADIO FADES OUT AND COMES BACK ON, HORN IS A FAINT NOISE. READING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREE WAY AND MY CAR JUST DIED ALL THE DASHLIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND WHEN I TRIED TO SSTART IT AGAIN NOTHING. I HAD IT TOWED. NEXT DAY I WENT TO START MY CAR TURNED THE KEY AND THE SECURITY FLASHES AND CLICKS BUT WONT START.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF MY 2007 CHEVY MALIBU AND THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED, WHEN I WAS GOING 70+ MPH ON THE FREEWAY TODAY. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVRAL MONTHS AGO TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT COULD NO LONGER BE FIXED DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF MILES. I DIDN'T OWN THE VEHICLE WHEN GM WAS FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I DRIVE AN HOUR ON FREEWAY TO WORK AND NO ONE IS HELPING ME. I COULD NOT MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL TO EVEN PULL OFF THE FREEWAY. I SLOWED DOWN TO WHEN THERE WAS A CURVE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY.

THE CRUISE CONTROL DON'T WORK THE BRAKE LIGHT'S STAY ON AND GO OFF WHEN YOU PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL.

MY CAR WAS RECALLED AND FIXED ON 3/17/15 FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL CUTTING OUT AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON. IT WAS FINE UNTIL A MONTH AGO AND IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO SMITH CHEVROLET IN GALLIPOLIS OHIO AND THEY RESET THE COMPUTER, THIS DID NOT HELP. NOW THEY TELL ME THEY NEED TO REPLACE MODULE 02560 PART # 25861370 AND SENSOR 04625 PART # 13597430 AT A COST OF ABOUT $410.00. I FILL THEY DID A PATCH JOB LAST YEAR AND NOW WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX IT. IF I PULL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND PLUG IT IN AND OUT A FEW TIMES EVERYTHING WORKS FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND MY REFERENCE # FROM THEM IS 8-2180763999. JAMES AT PHONE #866-790-5700 EXT 5913683 IS TRYING TO HELP ME. I CAN'T DRIVE AROUND WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME, IT IS NOT SAFE. I GOT PULLED OVER BY A STATE TROOPER ONCE LAST YEAR BEFORE IT WAS REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 124,343.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE BREAK LIGHT BEING ON CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BEARDMORE CHEVROLET IN BELLEVUE NEBRASKA. I BELIEVED IT WAS A RECALL ISSUE (AND STILL DO), BEARDMORE PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION AND TOLD ME IT WAS NOT. I TOLD THEM THAT SINCE IT WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE I WOULD TAKE IT TO MY OWN MECHANIC. HOWEVER WHEN I LEFT BEARDMORE CHEVROLET MY BREAK LIGHTS NO LONGER WORKED AT ALL. THEY DID NOT PUT ANYTHING BACK TOGETHER AND MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE IN THE BREAK SYSTEM AND HE ALONG WITH 2 OTHER CERTIFIED GM MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE SHORT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN GO FROM HAVING BREAK LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING TO NOT HAVING ANY BREAK LIGHTS AT ALL.

AIR BAG WARNING LITE STAYS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLUCTUATED AND THE ANTI-THEFT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

STARTING BEFORE MAY 2015 AND LASTING UNTIL 11/19/15, THE YELLOW WARNING DASHBOARD LIGHTS, GAUGES, AND DIC WOULD OCCASIONALLY GO BERSERK WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE AROUND 8AM IN THE MORNING IN MAY OF 2015. AT THE SAME TIME DURING THESE EPISODES, THE SHIFTING OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD BE JERKY. THE LIGHTS WOULD "SETTLE DOWN" AFTER LONG ENOUGH, BUT SOME COMBINATION OF LIGHTS ALWAYS REMAINED ON AT THE END OF THE EPISODES, SUCH AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SECURITY LIGHT, AND ABS LIGHT. THE CAR WOULD SEEM TO RETURN TO NORMAL SOMETIMES AFTER BEING RESTARTED. I HAD A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP CHECK IT OUT IN 5/15/2015 AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. SOMETIMES DURING THESE EPISODES, THE POWER STEERING WOULD ALSO LOSE POWER. THE PROBLEM RETURNED AND I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND HE PUT IN A NEW IGNITION SWITCH 11/19/15. THE CAR HAS NOT GONE BERSERK SINCE THEN, BUT THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK RELIABLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ONCE, BUT WENT OFF. THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAS FAILED TO WORK TWICE SINCE THEN TOO. THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO TEMPORARILY STOPPED WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

ON OCT. 31ST I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND TURNED ON THE SEAT HEATER. A FEW SECONDS LATER I NOTICED THE SEAT GOT EXTREMELY HOT SO I QUICKLY TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR THERE WAS A HOLE IN MY SEAT WHERE THE HEATER IS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE GEAR SHIFT WAS SWITCHED INTO THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE LOCK AND SIGNAL ERROR WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK TO FULL, FUEL GAUGE WILL SUDDENLY SHOW EMPTY, THEN OVER NEXT 50 MILES OR SO, THE FUEL GAUGE LEVEL WILL SWING WILDLY BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. THIS RESULTS IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES, THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL WILL REGISTER AND THEN 50 MILES AFTER THAT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS TURNED ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE CONTACT ADHERED TO THE RECALL, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,522.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WILL NOT GO OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK EXCESSIVELY FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

MY FUEL GAUGE SHOWS LOW FUEL MOST OF THE TIME .MY LIGHTS ON THE DASH CHANGE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES THEN GAS GAUGE WORKS.THEN IT GOES OFF AND THINGS CHANGE AIR BAG WARNING COMES ON.THINGS JUST JUMP AROUND NEVER THE SAME MIX OF THINGS. *TR

SERVICE THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS UNTIL IT STAYED ON CONSTANTLY. MECHANIC SAYS THE (BOX) IS BURNED OUT AND MUST BE REPLACED AT COST OF$300. I UNDERSTAND 07 MALIBU HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I WANT TO KNOW WHY IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED SINCE AIRBAGS SAVE LIVES AND WITHOUT THEM WE ARE AT RISK. *TR

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION ON THE 2007 CHEVY MALIBU'S. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN MY CAR. I HAD IT REPLACED TWICE AND THE VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT ALWAYS START. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW. *TR

THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM IN THE CAR ENABLES WHENEVER IT WANTS TO LEAVING YOU STRANDED. THE WHOLE CAR SHUTS DOWN ALL METHODS OF DISARMING THE SYSTEM FAIL. YOU HAVE TO WAIT X AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM TO DISABLE ON IT'S OWN. IT COULD TAKE AN HOUR TO 48 HOURS! HUGE INCONVENIENCE! *TR

VEHICLES CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED WHEN REACHING AND HILL THE CRUISE CONTROL SPED UP AND AS SOON AS IT DID I LOST ENGINE POWER COMPLETELY IT WAS NOT UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SAFETY MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE COASTING THAT I REALIZED THE ENGINE HAD CUT OFF. I THEN PARKED THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND TURNED THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION; AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART TO ENGINE SWITCH RESULTED IN NOTHING BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THE LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE COMING ON BUT NO FIRING OF THE ENGINE OR EVEN A CLICK FROM THE STARTER AT THIS POINT I WAS GLAD A HAD ALL MY BLANKETS AND THING IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IN NORTH DAKOTA AND MONTANA ITS COLD. AFTER A FEW FAILED ATTEMPTS AT TURNING THE KEY AND NOTHING HAPPENING WAITING 5MINS IN BETWEEN I BEGAN CALLING MY INSURANCE COMPANY 10 MORE MINS PASS BY AND I?M ON HOLD I DECIDE TO TRY THE CAR AGAIN IN WHICH IT FIRED RIGHT UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT NOW IT HAS DISAPPEARED FROM MY DASH LIGHTS MY CAR GOES IN FOR REPAIR NEXT WEEK TO GET ENGINE HEATER INSTALLED AND RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF HOWEVER I DON?T SEE WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE LISTED ABOVE ISSUE TO OCCUR UNDER ANY LISTED RECALLS BUT I AM ALSO NOT VEHICLE SAVVY. *TR

SO WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IT WONT START AND THE ANTI THEFT SIGN ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS BLINKING. SO I CANT START THE CAR AND TRIED LOCKING MY CAR AND UNLOCKING AND STARTING AGAIN STILL NOTHING. I CHECKED THE BATTERY AND THE BATTERY IS FINE AND KEPT ON TRYING TO STARTED IT I CAN SEE THE SIGN THAT SAYS THE CAR IS LOCKED. FOR NO REASON THIS HAPPENED, I CAME HOME THAT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING IT DIDN'T START. SO IT MOST LIKELY IS THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER PROBLEM FROM MY ADVISE FROM MY MECHANIC. I READ ONLINE THAT IT CAN TURN OFF THE CAR AND HAVE TO WAIT AN HOUR THEN START IT BACK UP AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE IF THIS SECURITY ANTI THEFT SYSTEM FAILS OUT OF NO WHERE. ALSO I CHECKED MY KEY FOR DAMAGE AND STILL DOESN'T WORK. BUT THIS WILL MOST LIKELY COST ME $300-500 FOR A SIMPLE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE STARTED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

CAR DRIVES WITHOUT KEY TURNED ALL THE WAY TO 111. BRAKES ARE UNRELIABLE...SCARES MY WIFE AND I!! CAR DIES OUT UPON ACCELERATION. *TR

THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND I AM NOT AT ALL HAPPY. JUST RECEIVED 2 RECALLS ON IT FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND FOR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE STEERING HAVING A CLUNKING SOUND AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE A TIRE BECAUSE OF IT. TIRES WERE PURCHASED LAST OCTOBER. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND OTHER RECALLS. MY SON HAS TO USE THIS CAR TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO WORK WHICH IS ONLY 7 MILES ONE WAY, AND I DO NOT EVEN TRUST IT THAT FAR. WE GET TOLD WE WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS FOR THE RECALLS ARE AVAILABLE, MEANWHILE SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN AND IF IT DOES YOU MAY JUST HAVE A LAWSUIT ON YOUR HANDS. I JUST WANT TO GIVE THE CAR BACK AND GET SOMETHING ELSE WITHOUT HAVING TO ADD THE REMAINING BALANCE DUE TO A NEW LOAN. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. FIRST NOTICED THIS BECAUSE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT SET. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS AT LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THE STOPLAMP SWITCH TO BE FAULTY AND REPLACED. THREE DAYS LATER, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON AGAIN WITHOUT PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. TOOK IT IN AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY FOUND A BULLETIN ON PROBLEM AND APPLIED DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE BCM CONNECTORS. WITHIN A MONTH, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY, BUT DID NOT TAKE IN. SINCE MAY 2014, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS ON WHILE DRIVING EVEN THOUGH BRAKE PEDAL NOT PRESSED. LOOKED UP SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON SAFERCAR.GOV AND FOUND RECALL NOTICE ON VEHICLE. CALLED GM, GAVE THEM MY VIN AND GM RECALL NUMBER (13036) AND THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY DOCUMENTED PROBLEMS IN MY SERVICE HISTORY AND I SHOULD GO TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE. WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND SHOWED THEM PRINTED COPY OF RECALL FROM SAFERCAR.GOV AND RELAYED CONVERSATION WITH GM. DEALERSHIP STATED, AFTER AN AFTERNOON WITH CAR, THAT RECALL NUMBER DID NOT EXIST AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ACTIVE RECALLS FOR MY CAR. I ASKED ABOUT THE SERVICE RECORD AND HOW COME THE 2012 SERVICES WERE NOT INCLUDED, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS ONLY ELECTRICAL AND NOT REALLY SIGNIFICANT SO THEY DID NOT TO DOCUMENT IT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT BECAUSE SAFERCAR.GOV IS NOT GM, THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE ITS RELIABILITY. AFTER A LONG CONVERSATION, I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MALIBUS IN GENERAL, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW UNLESS THEY HAD SPECIFIC VIN. DEALERSHIP APPLIED DIELECTRIC GREASE TO BCM CONNECTORS. FRUSTRATED AT NOT GETTING ANSWER, DID OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND RECALL NUMBERS (103652, 103653, 103654) AND A SERVICE BULLETIN (SB-08-05-22-009A) ON THE PROBLEM WITHIN 30 MINUTES. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR WORK THAT WAS ALREADY DONE ON HER VEHICLE. REFERRED CONTACT TO CHEVROLET MANUFACTURER. LNC

MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON AFTER ABOUT 7 SECONDS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEN GO BACK ON WHEN I AM STOPPED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THE RECALL LIST. I ALSO HAVE THE ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING GOING OUT AND HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE LAST FALL WHEN I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK- IT WAS RIPPED IN HALF. CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING YEARS AGO. POWER MIRRORS DO NOT WORK. CHECK AIR BAG REMINDER GOES ON RANDOMLY. THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE AND VERY UNSAFE. *TR

THE FUEL SENDING DEVISE KEEPS GOING BAD AND SHOWS AN EMPTY TANK THEN COMES BACK ON. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO IDLE. THE IGNITION SWITCH AND RELAY WERE REPLACED. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED THE IGNITION SWITCH, WAS REPLACED BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. HE BELIEVED THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH WAS DEFECTIVE. UPDATED 10/28/14

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN FAILED TO FUNCTION AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IN 2012, I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGING AND REFUSING TO RE-ENGAGE. I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD BE LIT WITHOUT THE BRAKES BEING ACTIVATED, AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN "PARK" (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE CHEVROLET DEALER APPLIED DIELECTRIC GREASE TO A CONNECTOR IN NOVEMBER 2012, AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED THIS YEAR (2013), INCLUDING AN INSTANCE WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT LIGHT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ACTIVATED! THE DEALER CHARGED ME OVER $250 IN PARTS AND OVER $300 IN LABOR TO REPLACE TWO PARTS. ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER, I SAW ANOTHER MALIBU WITH THE SAME BODY DESIGN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN, PART, OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A FAULTY DESIGN, REPLACE A FAULTY PART, OR DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND DO NOT SHUT OFF (THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS HAPPENING ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME NOW). ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK AND AT TIMES IT IS DIFFICULT SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERSHIPS TWICE EACH, AND TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC TWICE (FOR A TOTAL OF 6 SERVICE TRIPS). DESPITE SPENDING SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS, NONE OF THEM HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND A COUPLE WEEKS AGO BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT CHANGE - HE FOLLOWED ME TO A GAS STATION AND YELLED AT ME! IT IS SO BAD NOW THAT WE DON'T DARE DRIVE THE CAR FOR SAFETY REASONS, AND CANNOT SELL IT FOR THE SAME REASON. MY GIRLFRIEND BOUGHT THIS CAR WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW AND IT IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS, BUT UNBELEIVEABLY FRUSTRATING THAT THEY JUST KEEP CHARGING US MORE MONEY BUT DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DRIVER DOOR LOCK MALFUNCTION CAUSED BY POOR WIRE CONNECTION AND CONSUMER SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE TIRE TRACTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND HE WAS UNABLE TO TURN IT OFF, AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. HE WAS ALSO UNABLE TO USE THE SPEED CONTROL SETTING, DURING THAT TIME. WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME, HE WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE THE DRIVER DOOR AUTO LOCK WOULDN'T OPERATE PROPERLY. TWO DAYS LATER, WHEN HE PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DIDN'T LOCK AUTOMATICALLY, BUT ALL THE OTHER LOCKS WORKED PROPERLY. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE HARNESS CAME LOOSE AND IT CAUSED THE WIRING UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO CHAFF AND EXPOSE THE WIRING WHICH THEN TOUCHED EACH OTHER AND CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION. HE FURTHER ADVISED THAT, AS PART OF THE REPAIR, THE HARNESS AND WIRING WERE MOVED OVER FROM ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION SO THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NEVER OCCUR AGAIN.

THE BUCKLE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT STOP WORKING ON MY 2007 CHEVY MALIBU, AIRBAG LIGHT ON FOR NO REASON , I LOCK THE CAR COME BACK ALL DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND TURN OFF WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. CAR IS HARD TO PUT IN GEAR - YOU HAVE APPLY BRAKES HARD TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY MALIBU AND AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS. CURRENTLY MY BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T ILLUMINATE WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT WILL ILLUMNATE WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL. SOMETIMES BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON DURING MY ENTIRE DRIVE WHETHER OR NOT I'M USING THE BRAKE PEDAL. HAPPENS RANDOMLY, WITH NO DISCERNABLE CAUSES. ARTICLE IN FOX NEWS DATED 3/13/2013 ( HTTP://WWW.FOXNEWS.COM/LEISURE/2013/03/13/BAD-BRAKE-LIGHTS-COULD-FORCE-RECALL-OVER-ONE-MILLION-GM-CARS/#IXZZ2NUS7QU5S ) INDICATES NHTSA IS ACTIVELY RESEARCHING POSSIBLE RECALLS, BUT CALLS TO MY DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER CARE WE OF NO USE. BOTH MY DEALER AND GM CUSTOMER CARE TOLD ME THERE WERE NO ACTIVE RECALLS, AND THAT I JUST NEED TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED MYSELF AND THEN I COULD REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT AT A FUTURE DATE IF ANY RECALL DID HAPPEN. IT'S DISAPPOINTING THAT A COMPANY AS LARGE AS GM WOULDN'T PROACTIVELY HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN A KNOWN PROBLEM EXISTS IN A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES. ALSO MENTIONED IN THIS ARTICLE WERE PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE CRUISE CONTROL. MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING, OR NOT EVEN ALLOW ME THE OPTION OF USING CRUISE. THIS IS NOT AS BIG OF A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, BUT AGAIN, MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURING IS ONE MORE REASON I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE MORE PROACTIVE IN HELPING THEIR CUSTOMERS DEAL WITH THE SPECIFIC ISSUES AND CONCERNS ALREADY BEING ADDRESS/INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE CAR TO FULL WITH GAS. THE GAS GAUGE READS LOW FUEL AND ON E AND THEN THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL BOUNCE BACK UP TO SHOW HOW MUCH GAS IS REMAINING ONLY TO FALL BACK TO LOW FUEL AND E AGAIN. HAD THIS COMPUTER CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENSOR LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK. THE ESTIMATED COST TO FIX THIS WOULD BE AROUND 600. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GM SINCE THEY RECALLED THEIR SUV'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS ACTUALLY IN THE CAR AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE TRIP FOR THIS. WITH THE LOW MILEAGE ON MY CAR, I THINK IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PUT OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR FAULTY PROBLEMS ON GM PARTS. *TR

I HAD GOT IN A CRASH IN 2010 SINCE THEN MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS GOING ON AND OFF. NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHTS STAY ON SAYING THERE NOT ON. I ALSO DO NOT HAVE A WORKING FUEL PUMP SENSOR. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THE BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED AND TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. CRUISE CONTROL WILL TURN ON BUT WILL NOT SET. *TT

I KNOW THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE DOESN'T RANK UP THERE WITH STICKING GAS PEDALS, ETC., BUT I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO IT. ACTUALLY, THERE ARE TWO INTERRELATED DESIGN FLAWS WITH THE 'DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER' ON THE 2007 CHEVY MALIBU LS I BOUGHT LAST YEAR. THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER ('DIC') IS THE GREEN LED DISPLAY IN THE RADIO THAT NORMALLY DISPLAYS SUCH INFO AS TIME AND TEMPERATURE, ETC., BUT IT IS ALSO USED BY CHEVY TO DISPLAY WARNING MESSAGES. THE TWO PROBLEMS ARE: A). CRITICAL WARNINGS ' IN MY CASE A WARNING MESSAGE TO 'SERVICE AIRBAG' POPPED UP ONE EVENING ON THE DIC ' BUT IT WAS ONLY DISPLAYED ONCE (IT DID NOT APPEAR AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING OR THEREAFTER). SINCE CHEVY CONSIDERED THIS ISSUE IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO SUGGEST THAT I NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE PROGRAMMED THIS WARNING (OR ANY SAFETY RELATED WARNING) TO STAY ON UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. B). THE DIC IS FAR TOO DIM TO SEE CLEARLY DURING MOST DAYLIGHT HOURS (EVEN ON MANY CLOUDY DAYS) AND IS FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES TOTALLY INVISIBLE IF THE DRIVER IS WEARING SUNGLASSES. JUST A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS NOT A RECENT OR ISOLATED COMPLAINT'.I SEE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DIC BEING TOO DIM GOING BACK TO AT LEAST 2004! WHEN I COMPLAINED TO CHEVY ABOUT THE DIMNESS ISSUE THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS 'NORMAL' (I IN TURN TOLD THEM THAT IT MAY BE 'NORMAL' BUT IT CERTAINLY IS UNACCEPTABLE ' ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT HAD THE CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING COME ON DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS I PROBABLY WOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN SEEN IT AND WOULD STILL BE DRIVING AROUND WITH AN UNRESOLVED SAFETY ISSUE). *TR
