2013 Chevrolet Malibu Electrical Problems

Your check engine light came on, and while driving, your engine shuts down and loses power, requiring you to restart it—sometimes restarting doesn't even help. You also noticed your ABS and StabiliTrak warning lights illuminated, and your anti-lock brake system stopped working. This combination of issues suggests an electrical or sensor problem affecting your engine and braking systems, and a mechanic will need to scan your engine codes and inspect your brake system to identify the root cause.

While driving at 55 MPH, your car displayed a "Service Battery Charging System" warning and the battery light came on. At the same time, you lost power steering assist (making the steering wheel hard to turn), the brakes didn't respond as expected, and warning messages appeared for Stabilitrak and ABS. Your headlights shut off, the dashboard went dark, and the engine stalled. A mechanic found that your alternator was only producing 11 volts instead of the normal 13 volts, and determined that both the alternator and the Generator Control Module needed replacement to restore proper charging and vehicle function.

Your car failed a smog test due to a battery pack malfunction that's causing your alternator to fail and drain the battery, leading to stalling and unexpected engine shutoff. A technician warned this could potentially cause a fire in the backseat or trunk area. You've found that recalls exist for your vehicle's year, make, and model for this exact issue, but your specific VIN isn't showing the recall in the system. Getting your vehicle checked by a dealership and ensuring any applicable recalls are applied should resolve this issue.

Your car is losing its battery charge gradually, and you're seeing a 'Service Charging System' warning light on the dashboard along with a check engine light. Your engine has stalled or failed to start, and you've noticed a burning or melting smell, possibly with smoke coming from the trunk. While there's a known recall for the generator control module on 2013 Eco eAssist models for these exact symptoms, your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in that recall despite experiencing the same issues.

Your 2013 Chevy Malibu Eco with eAssist has a faulty Generator Control Module (GCM). This is a known issue that Chevrolet has issued recalls for on this model and year. The module controls the hybrid battery charging system and when it fails, your car's electrical system won't function properly.

Your car's battery kept draining repeatedly, and eventually the car wouldn't start at all. When you opened up the alternator (the component that charges the battery), you found it had failed. You're concerned that your vehicle wasn't included in a recall for the generator control module. The fix will likely involve replacing the alternator and possibly the battery, and potentially addressing the generator control module.

The electrical system has caused the car to stop mid traffic multiple times while driving. Had everything checked and it does it multiple times with my kids in the car. The transmission stalls and when you hit the gas it ramps up but doesn’t move until last minute and jumps causing the car to be unsafe nd jump into traffic . I see it has many recalls for this year and vehicle but yet my con isn’t showing up but it definitely has those issues . It not safe to drive at all. The electrical issue cause the battery to die over night constantly jumping it over and over to start it.

My instrument cluster is failing

Out of no where my car would not start. I got it jumped and took it to an auto store and they checked the battery and alternator health and it all came back great. I was able to drive it home from there and two hours later it wouldn’t start again

The instrument cluster temporarily shorts out or goes blank and them comes back on and resets in a different display mode. There are various display modes having different information such as mph, fuel efficiency, etc. Several repair shops tell me that in order to diagnose the problem, the cluster has to be exhibiting the problem when they look at it. In other words, it has to be a continuous short out. It's not continuous, it's temporary and sporadic or random. This is a direct safety issue in that the driver has no reading on the vehicle speed and when the short out becomes long term or permanent the car will have to be driven with no reading of speed or engine monitoring parameters such as temperature and oil pressure. New clusters are no longer available and rebuilt requires shipping the existing cluster for exchange. This is a common problem, as documented through Google search. Concerning the vehicle speed question below, anywhere from 0 to 70 mph.

My instrument cluster isn't working correctly. Some days I go out to start my car and the instrument cluster works. As I'm driving down the road my instrument cluster just stops working. My speedometer doesn't work, my rpms, the lights, temperature gauge and gas gauge just stops working. It's very scary and my transmission doesn't want to shift and my engine power is bogging down. This is really dangerous and I feel like my life is in danger. I pull off the road and shut my 2013 Chevy Malibu off and restart it and sometimes it comes back on and instrument cluster works but start driving and the instrument cluster stops working again. I have had my mechanic try to figure it out but so far I haven't been able to find out where the issue is so I haven't been able to fix it. My brakes have also been not engaging properly. I have had to replace my brakes 3 times so far after I got the brakes fixed for the 3rd time I haven't had very many problems. I also had to replace all my hubs as well as the brakes. Also something electrical isn't functioning correctly and when I shut my car off it makes a clicking noise right after I turn my car off. I'm a member of a Chevy Malibu group and there are thousands of people from all over the world with the same issues that I'm having with my vehicle. No warning lights have came on for any of the problems I'm having with my car. Please look into this and help me,us that are having these issues Thank you for your time. The next question of what date I can't really answer because it's been multiple dates. The question below about what mph I was going I can't answer because my mph wasn't working.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while driving at various speeds with the A/C engaged, the vehicle lost motive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated, and the message "Service Battery Soon" was displayed. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to an Auto Zone, where the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was then taken to an unknown dealer, where it was diagnosed with a low voltage battery. No further information was provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,670.

Without any warning and while driving the MALIBU 2LT goes into engine reduced power mode and will not excel over 50mph. NEXT, the Service stable track warning light would come on intermittently and disable traction control. This is very dangerous. Also the MALIBU 2LT will jerk at the wheel without warning when the power steering warning comes on. Additionally, power steering fluid does not have a measuring device to see when it falls below the required amount needed. It’s basically a guessing game that costs over $120.00 to have checked with no real resolve .

On the backside of instrument gauge cluster the soldering goes bad and seems to be a common problem with this year of Malibu.You lose all function and lighting of cluster while driving so you have no speedometer, fuel or temperature gauges and it goes black. I would consider this a factory defect if the solder does not hold up. It can be very dangerous for the driver. The cluster would go on and off for awhile but fails to work at all now.

The light of the dashboard went on and off several times while I was driving and almost the car went off, I had to press the speed pedal so it won't turn off. I took it ti a electrical shop and the guy told me that is an manufactured problem that special year and model had before and they where call to a recall to fix that problem. Can you please help me with this situation, I'll be very grateful.

My driver seat is powered and it is inoperative. It remains stuck in a reclined position. At first the seat would not return to an upright position but all the other power functions (reclining the seat, moving it forward and back, tilting the seat, moving it up/down) still worked. I took the car to a shop and they said that the cause was some of the wiring had disconnected. They took the seat out and made sure everything was plugged in correctly. The seat worked again but only for a short while. Now, the issue is present again and the driver seat will not move forward/back or return to an upright position. This is hazardous because the seat is not able to offer the driver the correct seating position to drive.

Car gives engine power reduced warning and then drastically loses speed. Another warning saying engine over speed comes up and the car is unable to accelerate at safe speeds. This is dangerous because I can easily be rear ended by this malfunction especially when driving on the highway. I have children and having them at risk of being in a motor vehicle accident due to a malfunctioning car does not sit well with me. I have seen this issue reported on several other platforms. When I took the car to the dealership regarding this issue I was told I needed to replace the battery but 2 batteries later and I’m still having the same issue. There is no warnings or signs prior to this malfunction happening, it is unpredictable and at random, making it that more dangerous. I would also like to add that this has happened a repeated number of times, it is not an isolated incident. But as of late it has been occurring more frequently.

Dash lights flickering in and out and I can’t see my speed but the car still runs n has blinkers. Eventually it will flicker and go all the way black. Also the radio still worked fine n reverse camera did too it don’t stall or anything tho I’m just scared to drive At night cause i goes totally black

I brought my 2013 Malibu LT in March of 2021. When I test drove and took it to autozone to get a diagnosis before buying the car nothing was wrong with it. After having the car for about 3 months the problems started. When I went to get it checked again it said that my alternator wasn’t working correctly how it should do I replaced the alternator. After getting the alternator replaced my car still stalls while driving and acts like it doesn’t want to go. When I try to start my car it barely turns over to start. While I’m driving I can’t turn on the radio or lights because it makes my car power go out. The radio lights turn on and off. When I put car in reverse it shuts off. When I’m driving the car shuts off out of nowhere and I have to put it in park and turn it back on. Sometimes it takes awhile to turn back on. When it first happened the engine reduced power popped up as a warning then the engine light came on the dashboard on and off. Everyone says they don’t know what is wrong with it so I feel that the manufacturer should be reliable to fix these problems for us customers. These problems put my child and I at risk by stopping out of nowhere in traffic. I’m currently pregnant and it happened with me and my kids in the car.

Both low beam headlights stopped working. Two days later the passenger side low beam headlight turned on again, but not the driver side. 2 months later both low beams again no longer working. I've replaced all 4 fuses (interior and exterior), headlight relay, and bulbs. None of that fixed the problem.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked and turned off with the key in the ignition, the vehicle started up independently. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. Additionally, whenever the air conditioner was activated, only hot air was coming from the vents causing the windows to become foggy. The contact’s husband was concerned with the stated failures along with other electrical failures within the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

When driving my dash lights quit for days and then sometimes come back on. I am not aware of what speed I am going when driving. I am not able to accurately drive the speed limit that I am suppose to. I don’t know how much gas I have or if I am about to run out of gas. If my check engine light is on or not, and can’t see my turn signals. How can you obey the laws of driving when you can’t tell if you are going over the speed limit or not or using your turn signal.

ALL ELECTRICAL INSIDE CAR GOES OUT OR ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL DASH GAUGES, SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, RADIO, HEAT/AC, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. CAR STILL RUNS BUT NOTHING ON INSIDE WORKS. I do not know if this control outage effects the ABS or Steering. It only last for a few seconds. It has happened several time will drive 50 to 70 MPH. I've let off the gas and try not to panic. Everything comes back on and I continue home. I'm scared to drive my car

Instrument cluster goes out and is available for inspection. It first went out in the middle of driving 80 on the freeway with others in my vehicle. I have taken it to a Point S mechanic who has confirmed the issue and can be easily recreated just by turning the car on. Nobody has inspected other than a mechanic because I did not know that was even an option. No, there was absolutely no warning to indicate the issue, only the check engine light would work and that issue has been temporarily resolved. Due to research, I, along with many others, have come to the conclusion that it is a fault in manufacturing where one of the resisters in the cluster was not soldered correctly causing a failure in connection. I believe there should have been a recall on the equipment, especially seeing as how common this issue is and that the product isn't even made/sold anymore. It is upsetting to see the ratio of 2 investigations compared to over 700 complaints.

Car is stuck in heat. Sometimes the controls come on by themselves and hard to turn off. Heat does not defrost the window it sometime make it worse and hard to see while driving. Was told that it is not the compressor but the wiring and programming of the control system. A recall for other years have been issued for similar issues. This is the third report filed.

my whole dash board went out why i was driving could not see my speed or how much gas i have nothing was coming up

ALL ELECTRICAL INSIDE CAR GOES OUT OR ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL DASH GAUGES, SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, RADIO, HEAT/AC, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. CAR STILL RUNS BUT NOTHING ON INSIDE WORKS.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, VEHICLE HAS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. BECAUSE IT IS AN ECO ENGINE, I ASSUMED IT WAS SIMPLY IDLING DOWN, WHILE STATIONARY A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, AS USUAL BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES THE VEHICLE SHUTOFF WAS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND DRIVE THROUGH LANES. AND THEN THE VEHICLE SHUTOFF WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. SHORTLY AFTER THAT INCIDENT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE CAR HAS STILL HAD TO BE JUMPED OFF THREE TIMES SINCE THE REPLACEMENT. AND WHEN I HAD THOSE CODES REPAIRED, NOW THE VEHICLE DRIVES AS IF IT ISN'T GETTING GAS AND THEN ALL OF SUDDEN IT WILL JERK AND ACCELERATE QUICKLY. LASTLY, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE USED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE PEDAL WILL SUDDENLY GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD, THEN COME AND TIGHTEN TO POINT I CAN BARELY PRESS THE BRAKES. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THE MECHANICS DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS CAUSING THAT ISSUE TO OCCUR.

I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR SHUT OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT DROVE. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR STARTED TO STALL AND SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. I WAS ON A LOCAL STREET. I SEARCHED THIS UP ON GM WEBSITE AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH NO RESOLUTION

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR @32 MPH WHEN MY RADIO AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED TO BLINK OFF AND ON MY CAR WANTED TO STALL OUT I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY HAD TO TURN IN TO A PARKING LOT TO SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTART IT SO I CAN GET TO THE STORE , I HAVE A VIDEO OF IT DOING IT .I DON'T HAVE THE FEATURES WHEN YOU STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT SHUTS OFF AND WHEN YOU MOVE IT START BACK UP. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO DO IT AGAIN . I THINK THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE

I WAS TRAVELING ON 294 SOUTH USING CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER BUT ALL INTERNAL APP LIGHTS LIKE THE RADIO REMAINED ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL FUNCTIONAL. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARKED IT SHUT OFF. ONLY ISSUE LIGHTS THAT APPEARED 1 WEEK PRIOR WAS THE ABS SENSOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP THE BATTERY BUT IT DID NOT RESPOND. CAR HAD BEEN PARKED AND A FRIEND WHO WORKS ON CARS BELIEVES THE ENGINE IS DEAD EVEN THOUGH THERE SHOWS 23% OF OIL LEFT AND NO OTHER SYMPTOMS OF A BLOWN ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN GOODLAND 2013 CHEVY MALIBU ECO ISSUES AND OTHER THAN POTENTIALLY THE STARTER IT COULD BE THE COMPUTER THAT HAS DIED. I CHANGED OUT THE BATTERY AND IT TURNS EVERYTHING ON, BUT STRUGGLES TO CRANK AND REMAIN ON. I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL LINKS REGARDING A RECALL DUE TO COMPUTER, BUT HONESTLY DON'T KNOW IF ITS EVEN THAT. MECHANIC FRIEND BELIEVES IT COULD ALSO BE THE ECM.

SPEEDCLUSTER DOESNT MARK ANYTHING ON SDASHBOARD SUCH AS SPEED,GAS, ETC.

INSTRAMENT PANEL SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, GAS, ETC.. ALL ARE OUT. IT STARTED GOING OUT AND RESETTING AND AND COMING BACK ON THEN IT ALL JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I CANT GET AN INSPECTION STICKER BECAUSE OF IT. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE INSTRAMENT CLUSTER? HELP..ITS MY SONS CAR AND IM TRYING TO HELP GET IT FIXED

POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN HITTING A SMALL BUMP, WON'T START UNLESS I MOVED THE DRIVERS SEAT UP AND BACK, IF I USE THE BLINKERS MY RADIO GOES OFF IF I USE MY HIGH BEAMS THE RADIO FREEZES. IT WILL DO WEEKS WITH NO ISSUES THEN ONE DAY IT WILL START ACTING UP AND DOES IT FOR DAYS OR WEEKS. CHEVY SAYS THERE IS NO RECAP FOR THAT MODEL BUT I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THINGS SO WHY IS IT NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY GM

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR HAS GONE BAD MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE ANYTHING ELECTRONIC ON THE DASH WILL TURN OFF, AS WELL AS THE A/C AND RADIO ETC. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE SEEM NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AIRBAG SENSOR ISSUES YET EVERYTIME I'VE CHECKED, THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE SENSOR RANDOMLY WENT OUT WHEN THE CAR WAS HARDLY 3 YEARS OLD, THAT IS NOT NORMAL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM HAS NOT DONE A RECALL FOR THIS. THIS COULD RESULT IN DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS OR DEATH OF A PASSENGER.

MY 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU HEADLIGHTS SPECIFICALLY THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT, I'VE REPLACED THE BULB, AND EVENTUALLY I HAD THE WIRING INSIDE FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS EXPOSED. I BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND NEVER REALIZED UNTIL RECENTLY THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRES THAT LEAD TO THE BULB SOCKET WERE CUT AND THEN TWIST TIED BACK TOGETHER AND WRAPPED IN ELECTRICAL TAPE, INSTEAD OF HAVING A COMPLETE RUBBER TUBE COVER AROUND THE OUTSIDE AND BEING ONE CONTINUOUS UNCUT PIECE THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. SO I HAD SOMEONE AT A CAR SHOP TRY TO FIX IT BUT NOW THE LIGHT IS GOING ON AND OFF AGAIN. I'VE SEEN MANY CHEVROLET VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT OUT WHILE THE LEFT ONE CONTINUES TO WORK FINE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF REPORTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM BY MANY OTHER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND A COSTLY SAFETY HAZARD. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE.

WHILE DRIVING 385 MILES FROM HOME THE DASHBOARD BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON. WE HAD JUST REPLACED THE BATTERY 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. TURNED THE CENTER SCREEN TO THE VOLT METER TO WATCH THE CAR SLOWLY DRAIN THE NEW BATTERY. THE VOLTAGE WOULD GO DOWN, THEN GO UP, BUT NEVER AS FAR AS IT WAS BEFORE THE DECLINE. PULLED THE CAR INTO A SUPERCENTER PARKING LOT AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING, ALL POWER BRAKES, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, THANK GOODNESS I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. AT 80 MPH THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO CONTROL. WE HAD JUST ENOUGH ENGINE TO LIMP THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE AND AVOID GETTING HIT BY OTHER CARS IN THIS BUSY PARKING LOT. BOUGHT NEW BATTERY TESTER, NEW BATTERY, AND TOOLS TO THE SUM OF $250.00 MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS IN PARKING LOT. I HAD NO CHOICE, WE WERE STRANDED FAR FROM HOME IN 97 DEG. HEAT. TURNED NORTH TO HEAD HOME, WHILE WATCHING THE CAR DEVOUR A BRAND NEW BATTERY. ONCE AGAIN THE VOLT METER FROM 14.4 VOLTS TO 13.5, THEN BACK TO 14.3 TO 13.4 THE NEW BATTERY WAS GOING TO HAVE A SHORT LIFE. WE MADE IT 50 MILES ON THE FREEWAY AND THE VOLT METER WAS DOWN TO 11.8 FROM A NEW 14.4 WHEN PURCHASED. TURNED TO THE NEAREST TOWN 35 MILES EAST. WORRIED THE CAR WAS GOING TO SHUT DOWN ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 80 MPH. HOPING THE STEERING WOULD NOT GO OUT WITH OUT WARNING AGAIN. THE SCARIEST SITUATION I HAVE EVER BEEN IN, THERE WAS NO WHERE FOR US TO GO IF IT DID. MADE IT TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE, JUST TO FIND OUT THAT IN 85 MILES THE CAR HAD DRAINED THE NEW BATTERY WE GOT A JUMP START AND LIMPED TO A LOCAL HOTEL. ONCE AGAIN HAVING TO PULLOUT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, AND NO WAY HOME. WE CALLED A FAMILY MEMBER AND THEY SET OFF ON THE 5 HR DRIVE TO COME TOW US HOME. WE RENTED A CAR DOLLY AND PULLED OUR BROKEN CAR THE ENTIRE WAY HOME. IT SITS IN THE DRIVE WAY AS I TYPE THIS GIVING NO CODES FOR ME TO FOLLOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING, THE BATTERY IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT DRAINED ALL OF THE POWER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. AS A RESULT, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ALSO SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE TWO FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER, INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, OR MANUFACTURER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

MY CAR KEEPS LOSING POWER. IT STARTS WITH THE RADIO FLASHING ON AND OFF. THEN THE STEERING LOCKS UP. THE CAR SOMETIMES SHUTS ALL THE WAY OFF. IT STARTS BACK UP BUT IT WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I PURCHASED THE CAR MAY 2019. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. MOST RECENTLY 9/16/2019. DRIVING THE RADIO FLASHED THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED. IT DIDNT SHUT DOWN. BUT IT WHEN THROUGH THAT PROCESS LIKE 5-6 TIMES BACK TO BACK. WHEN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I SEE MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY CAR HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH THE 2013 CHEVY MALIBU. IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE- ENGINE IS STALLING AND COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHEN STOPPED OR SLOWING DOWN AT INTERSECTION OR STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. SWITCHING FROM HYBRID TO GAS

2013 MALIBU ECO EASSIST THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR, THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AND NEED A GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE..ACCORDING TO HER VIN # THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE.. BUT IT'S THE SAME TYPE OF CAR THAT THE RECALL IS ON. THE CAR WHILE RUNNING ON HIGHWAY FOR 50 MILES OR MORE WILL START THE LOSS OF BATTERY CHARGING. IF YOU CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR WILL CUTOFF AND HAVE TO BE TOWED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OR THREE OCCASIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED BY THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE AND DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTO RETAIL STORE AND AN UNKNOWN CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW BATTERY WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY; HOWEVER, A WEEK LATER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AGAIN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED A BUS. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISING AND SORENESS TO THE ARMS, NECK, WRIST, SHOULDER, AND BACK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. AFTERWARDS, A MESSAGE DISPLAYED INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOSING POWER AND IT WOULD NOT HOLD A CHARGE WHEN IT WAS JUMPSTARTED. AS SOON AS THE JUMPER CABLES WERE REMOVED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND WAS LATER TAKEN TO CHEVROLET OF HOMEWOOD (18033 HALSTED ST, HOMEWOOD, IL 60430, (708) 251-4692). THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,009.

INSTRUMENT PANEL POWERS OFF WHILE DRIVING, SAYS SERVICE AIR BAG, SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM, SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM. RADIO POWERS OFF ALSO WITH MESSAGE THAT SAYS LOST COMMUNICATION WITH TELEMATICS MODULE. AIR CONDITIONER POWERS OFF ALSO. LAST FROM ANYWHERE FROM 1 MIN TO 20 MINS. NOT SHOWING SPEED ODOMETER, GAS, OR RPMS ON DASH BOARD. HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 20 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING, FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE DONE AFTER RESEARCHING THEY HAVE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM

USING TURN SIGNAL OR POWER WINDOWS THE VEHICLE DIES AND QUICKLY RESTARTS. ALL POWER IS LOST MOMENTARILY. HAPPENS WHEN BATTERY VOLTAGE IS BELOW 13.5 VOLTS. LOSS OF POWER STEERING ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TWICE. IT WAS NOT WET OUT OR RAINING, HAD BEEN DRY FOR SEVERAL DAYS SO WEATHER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE TRIGGERING THE ISSUE. SERVICE STABIL TRAK WARNING ALSO FLASHED IN AND CLEARED UPON POWER DISRUPTION.

SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE USED FROM A DEALERSHIP ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO IT HAS AN INTERMITTENT STALLING PROBLEM WHERE DURING CITY DRIVING THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AT A SLOW AND NORMAL IDLE MEANING THE CARS NOT MOVING EXAMPLE WOULD BE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT,STOPPING AT A MAILBOX OR GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THRU OR EVEN COASTING IN REVERSE OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE DONE MULTIPLE THINGS AND CANNON SEEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING, THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF AND THEN BACK ON.THIS HAPPENS IRREGARDLESS OF SPEED, TEMPERATURE, PASSENGERS, TURNING, ACCELERATING, ETC. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHO INSTRUCTED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY WIRE THAT THERE WAS NO REPLACEMENT FOR YET. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FORUMS, AND OTHER MEDIUMS, THIS SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON OCCURRENCE. PLAN TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS AS LONG AS THE PROBLEM DOES NOT WORSEN. I FEAR THAT DRIVING WITH MY INFANT ONE DAY THAT THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER OR SHUT DOWN OR WORSE, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO MYSELF, MY CHILD OR OTHER DRIVERS. CURRENT MILAGE IS 76,500.

TAKATA RECALL . MY CAR JUST DIED OUT OFF NOWHERE WHILE I WAS JUST PARKED AND WHEN IT FINALLY GOT JUMPED THE 'SERVICE AIRBAG' LIGHT CAME. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO EVERYBODY AND THE REPAIRS IS UP TO $1000

STEREO/NAVIGATION INTERMITTENT ALWAYS DEFAULT TO ONE RADIO STATION AND SETTINGS, PASSENGER SEAT HAD A CRACKLING SOUND A FEW TIMES NO ODD SMELLS OR SMOKE, TURNS SIGNALS WON'T WORK WHEN STEREO IS INOPERATIVE.

I AM OR HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS RELATED TO MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR MY 2013 CHEVY MALIBU, YET I WHEN ATTEMPT TO GET THE REPAIRS FOR THE RECALL I'M TOLD THEY'RE AREN'T ANY CONNECTED TO MY VIN. IF THAT'S SO, THEN MY VIN[XXX] AND OTHERS LIKE IT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALLS. MY MALIBU HAS BEEN OR IS EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES BROUGHT UP IN RECALL #'S 50490, 50491, 13136, AND 12212. NOW WHY AM I STUCK HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THINGS THAT ARE KNOWN IN A RECALL. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING TO ME. GOING FORWARD, SHOULD I SUCCEED IN GETTING THIS RECALL ACCEPTED, I DON'T NEED TO HERE THAT IT MAY BE OUT OF WARRANTY. THAT WOULDN'T BE FAIR EITHER. AS THE PRIOR OWNER COULDN'T HAVE HAD THE WORK DONE AS A RECALL BECAUSE THE VIN WASN'T IN THE SYSTEM IN TIME TO BE DONE BEFORE ANY RESTRICTIONS OR WARRANTY EXPIRED.AS I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT, I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE REPAIRS DONE AND WOULD APPRECIATE BEING REIMBURSED FOR ALL EXPENSES INCURRED. AS I WAIT FOR A FAVORABLE RESPONSE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE KEY TURNED IN THE IGNITION; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED AND DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE CAMSHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE PERFORMED NORMALY FOR A WEEK, BUT LATER WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING INTAKE AND EXHAUST FAILED AND NEEDED REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BOTH TIMES. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE WIRING ON THE BATTERY WAS DONE IMPROPERLY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,080.

I RECENTLY PAID MY VEHICLE OFF AND I AM EXPERIENCING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WENT OUT AND "SERVICE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT IS ON". THERE'S NO CONNECTION. WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING, MY RADIO SCREEN BLACKS OUT. THEN I CAN HIT ANOTHER BUMP AND IT COMES BACK ON. WHEN I PARK, MY IGNITION DOES NOT RELEASE MY KEY. I HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SEVERAL TIMES AND PUT IT IN DRIVE THEN BACK IN PARK SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE. AFTER DOING THIS SEVERAL TIMES MY KEY BROKE OFF IN THE IGNITION AND I WAS STRANDED AND HAD TO WALK HOME OVER TWO MILES. HAS ANYONE ELSE COMPLAINED OF THESE ISSUES WITH THE 2013 MALIBU? I COULDN'T PASS MY RECENT SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO THE BRAKE ISSUE AND I WAS INCONVENIENCED AGAIN AS A RESULT OF THESE ISSUES.

THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY LOSE POWER AND DIE WHILE RUNNING AND IN MOTION. IT STARTS WITH THE RADIO GOING OFF, THEN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST WEEK AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING BELOW 40 MPH

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. SUDDENLY IT STARTED TO MOVE AND SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME (THE CAR HAD MOVED UP SIGNIFICANTLY, BUT I HADN'T, SO IT HAD A LOT OF MOMENTUM WHEN IT HIT)! AFTER THE ACCIDENT REPORT WAS FILED, I TRIED TO START THE CAR TO LEAVE, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. ADDITIONALLY, A TON OF ERROR MESSAGES WERE FLASHING, AS WELL AS ALL INDOOR AND OUTDOOR LIGHTS FLASHING, EVEN THE DECORATIVE PANEL BLUE STRIP LIGHTS. I WAS TERRIFIED. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FROM THE SCENE. AT FIRST, THE OFFICER DIDN'T BELIEVE ME, THAT IT WAS THE CAR'S FAULT, NOT MINE, BUT ONCE SHE SAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING, SHE BELIEVED ME. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THE CAR WAS POSSESSED, HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. THE CAR HAD ALMOST 53,000 MILES ON IT, ONE YEAR TO GO WITH PAYMENTS, AND I HAD BEEN PLANNING TO KEEP IT ONCE IT WAS PAID OFF, UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH WORSE. WHAT IF IT HIT PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE STREET? I WAS AT A COMPLETE STANDSTILL. WHEN MY MECHANIC EVALUATED IT, A BUNCH OF ERROR CODES PRINTED OUT, ONE OF WHICH WAS U0121 MULTI-AXIS ACCELERATION SENSOR LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. I'M PRETTY SURE THIS WAS WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT, BUT BOTH GENERAL MOTORS AND MY CHEVROLET DEALER SAY THIS MEANS NOTHING. I SOLD THE CAR AND BOUGHT A MITSUBISHI MIRAGE. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN. ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES, ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING TO OTHER CHEVY'S (MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR ALONE) - SO FAR ABOUT 167 THAT I'VE READ ABOUT, BUT NO ONE'S DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER WOULD TURN ON/OFF ON IT'S OWN AT RANDOM. AT FIRST THE ISSUE SEEMED TO HAPPEN THE MOST WHEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL TEMPERATURES WERE LOWER. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS NOW COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. NONE OF THE GAUGES OR LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WORK. DUE TO THIS ISSUE, I AM UNABLE TO KNOW MY SPEED, FUEL LEVEL, MILEAGE, TEMPERATURE, BATTERY, ETC. THIS CREATES A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING.

2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAULTY GENERATOR CONTROL MODULS. *LD THE CONSIMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. *JS

DOOR LOCKS ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF AND ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, CAR STARTING WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE (NO REMOTE START). DEALERSHIP REPLACED BCM, COULD NOT GUARANTEE THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM. INDICATED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THE ISSUE BEFORE. WITHIN 2 WEEKS, ALL ISSUES REPEATED THEMSELVES. RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEN CALLED ME AND LEFT A MESSAGE TO PICK IT UP AS THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED BACK, THE DEALERSHIP SAID "IT WAS A GOOD THING YOU HAVEN'T PICKED UP THE VEHICLE YET, IT STARTED ON ITS OWN 3 TIMES THIS MORNING". IF I HAD PICKED THIS VEHICLE UP, THE ISSUE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS AT HOME. CASE HAS BEEN FILED WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CAR, AND SUFS (GM GLOBAL SAFETY). NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. NO ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN SENT DOWN TO LOOK AT THE CAR FROM GM HEADQUARTERS. AFTER THE CAR STARTED ON ITS OWN AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CHANGED OUT THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT AGAIN, CANNOT GUARANTEE THE ISSUES WON'T REOCCUR. CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A THIRD TIME ON MAY 2ND AFTER THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF 3 TIMES ON THE WAY TO WORK ON MAY 1ST. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL MAY 10TH, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE, AND I SHOULD PICK THE CAR UP AS THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM IF THEY DO NOT SEE IT. THE RESPONSE FROM GM HAS BEEN A JOKE. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I CANNOT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT, AND CANNOT PART IT IN MY GARAGE, AS IT COULD START AND CAUSE MY ENTIRE FAMILY TO DIE FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, OR COULD OVERHEAT FROM RUNNING IN PARK WHILE WE ARE SLEEPING AND START A FIRE. I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SELL THE CAR EITHER. SO, I AM STUCK WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE MAY BE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKARA RECALL I HAD MY CAR IN MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DEALERSHIP BERGSTROM LIKE FIVE TIMES AND EVERY TIME THEY WORK ON IT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE WRONG . THE CAR HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THE RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF BY ITSELF . THE TEMPERATURE THING BECAME ON FOR HIGH TEMPS WHEN THE AC IS OFF.I HAD REPLACED MULTIPLE SENSORS REPLACED LIKE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. MY CAR SHUT OFF ON ME THROUGH THE DRIVE-THROUGH . IT HAS A ROUGH TIME IS STARTING SOMETIMES AND STALLS . NOW IT'S SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR O2 SENSOR. COUPLE TIMES I HEARD THE CAR BACKFIRE SO I GOT A NEW CADILLAC CONVERTER. I'VE EVEN HAVE SMELLED SOME SMELLS LIKE BURNING. I HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT WHEN I GO OVER A LITTLE BUMPS OR WHEN I TURN REALLY SHARP NOT GOING FAST. BEEN HAVING MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND WOULD LIKE SOME HELP FIGURING OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH T AND WOULD LIKE SOME HELP FIGURING OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT! I DON'T FEEL SAFE SOMETIMES AND I'M AFRAID MY CAR SIRI MIGHT GO OUT OR SOMETHING AND IT WON'T RUN OR START FOR ME WHEN I'M DRIVING. PLEASE HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MADE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING REMAINED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN MY 2013 CHEVY MALIBU IS IN MOTION AND SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (MANY BUT NOT ALL TIMES) ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS, INCLUDING THE ELECTRONIC SPEEDOMETER, AND ALL DASHBOARD GAUGES, IN THE CAR STOP WORKING AND NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND BRAKING SYSTEM APPEAR. THE MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF THE CAR STILL SEEM TO WORK FINE, BUT THE NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND BRAKING MAKE ME CONCERNED THAT IT IS NOT SAFE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A YEAR. I HAVE TRIED TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY EITHER CANNOT REPLICATE IT OR THEY WILL "FIX" SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T END UP SOLVING THE PROBLEM. GIVEN THAT THIS PROBLEM STARTED RANDOMLY AND NOT WITH ANY INTERVENTION ON MY PART OF THE PART OF ANY MECHANIC, I AM CONTACTING NHTSA BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT THIS MIGHT BE HAPPENING WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND COULD REPRESENT REAL DANGER IF THIS REALLY IS AFFECTING THE AIRBAG AND BRAKING SYSTEMS (EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT IN USE).

HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BATTERY SINCE I GOT THE CAR BACK IN 2017. REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES WITH A YEAR THINKING IT WAS JUST A DEAD BATTERY. AFTER THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY CABLES NEEDED TO BE CLEANED AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PAID 400 DOLLARS FOR THAT . 6 MONTHS LATER SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS. I'M IN MY CAR BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON , BATTERY VOLTAGE STARTS TO GET LOW, CAR LOSSES ALL POWER AND I AM STRANDED. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEAL SHIP BECAUSE I JUST HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM 6 MONTHS AGO . AFTER A WEEK IN THE SHOP I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BELT AND THE REPAIRS WOULD BE 400 DOLLARS AGAIN. I WENT AHEAD AND AGREED TO HAVE THEM WORK ON THE CAR FOR A CALL A DAY LATER SAYING SOMETHING ELSE'S WAS WRONG AND REPAIRS WERE NOW 1550 DOLLAR. WENT AHEAD AND AGREED TO GET IT FIXED ASKED IS THIS GOING TO FIX MY PROBLEM I'M HAVING WITH THE BATTERY WAS TOLD YES. GOT MY CAR OUT THE SHOP AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT AND CAR STALLING IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS OF HAVING THE CAR OUT OF THE SHOP. I SEARCHED RECALLS AND DID SEE ONE FOR THIS CAR ABOUT THE GCM CAUSES THE BATTERY LIGHT TO COME ON. WHERE I SEARCHED MY VIN NUMBER RECALL DID NOT SHOW UP FOR MY CAR. WHAT AM I TO DO NOW THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH MY CAR FITS THE DESCRIPTION OF A RECALL WITH THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF MY CAR.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO OFF. SOMETIMES THEY FLICKER BEFORE GOING OFF BUT ONCE THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES I LOSE POWER IN THE VEHICLE OTHER TIMES I JUST HAVE TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITH NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS, THIS MEANS I CANT SEE HOW FAST I AM GOING, MY GAS GAUGE ETC. THIS CAUSES A BIG RISK FOR ME AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT DOESNT MATTER THE WEATHER EITHER, IT COULD BE RAINING, SNOWING OR SUNNY AND THE DASHBOARD STILL ACTS UP. IT ALSO CAUSES MY BATTERY TO DRAIN WHICH IS BRAND NEW, I ALSO CHECKED ALTERNATOR AND STARTER AND BOTH ARE PERFECT. SOMETIMES THE DASH IS BLANK EVEN RIGHT AT THE START UP OF MY CAR, OTHER TIMES IT GOES OUT AS I AM DRIVING, IT ALSO DOESNT MATTER THE SPEED.

ECO HYBRID GCM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S A RECALL FOR IT BUT THEY SAID IT DOESN'T COVER THIS ONE.BUT IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LUNGED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THERE WAS A CONSTANT LOSS OF POWER. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONSTANTLY PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COYLE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (1801 BROADWAY ST, , IN 47129, (812) 218-1100) AND SERVICED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE SONLY , SONLY BOLT, SONLY GENERATOR, AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR, FLUSHED THE COOLANT, REPLACED COMPRESSOR KIT(2), AND PERFORMED ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. HOWEVER, THE FAILURES STILL OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. .*BP CONSUMER STATED TRANSMISSION WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. CAM-ACTUATORS HAVE DUST WHICH CAUSES A CAR TO FLUTTER OR DIE. CONSUMER TOLD THE MECHANIC THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM THERE ARE OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. AS OF 5/15/19 CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP.*JP

WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED THE WHOLE DASH BOARD WILL CUT OUT COMPLETELY RESULTING IN LOSS OF SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, TEMP GAUGE AND TACH. SOMETIMES IT WILL COME BACK ON SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT FOR DAYS, HAVE TO KEEP A SPEEDOMETER APP ON MY PHONE WHILE DRIVING NOW. GM SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THIS ISSUE AS THEY DO MOST ELECTRICAL ISSUES, I TRADED IN A 2000 IMPALA WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES JUST TO GET ANOTHER GM CAR WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES AT A HIGHER PRICE. I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND NON OF THEM SEEMS TO HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT IT COULD BE WHICH TELLS ME GM IS NOT EVEN TRYING TO FIND A ROOT CAUSE FOR THE ISSUE, THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO LET ME BRING IT IN AND HAVE THE WHOLE SYSTEM LOOKED OVER AT MY COST THOUGH. HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW

WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT, CAR SHUT DOWN, WOULD NOT RESTART. (HAD STALL ONE OTHER TIME IN PARKING GARAGE BUT VEHICLE RESTARTED). NO ELECTRICAL, NO FLASHERS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. REPLACED BATTERY AND GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE DUE TO MALFUNCTION. ASKED ABOUT 2013 RECALL. WAS TOLD IT DIDN'T APPLY.

2013 CHEVY MALIBU ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. ALL DASH ELECTRICAL WENT OUT AND KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION. NO SPEDOMETER, GAS GUAGE, TEMP, ETC. DRAINED BATTERY AND NEW BATTERY.

AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD GOES BLACK, THEN IT JUST LIGHTS BACK UP AS IF I WERE JUST STARTING THE CAR...ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS REGULARLY WHILE THE DASHBOARD BLACKS OUT...THE RADIO STILL WORKS. THIS HAPPENS SPORADUCALLY MEANING THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT..I AM SCARED IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE.

IF THE KEY IS REMOVED WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, THE VEHICLE MAY ROLLAWAY AS OCCUPANTS ARE EXITING , INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY

THE CLUSTER PANEL WILL POWER OFF WHILE DRIVING AND STAY OFF. AFTER FUSES AND BULBS ARE REPLACED, SAME ISSUE PERSISTS. WHEN PASSENGER SEAT IS IN REAR POSITION, THE CLUSTER WILL FLICKER MOMENTARILY. THIS RESULT WILL TRIGGER RANDOMLY WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING WOULD INADVERTENTLY DIM OR FLICKER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE SENSOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES SHUT OFF WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO CAP CITY CHEVROLET (5250 E. MAIN ST, WHITE HALL, OH), BUT NO FAILURE COULD BE FOUND. AFTER THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING IT STARTED FUNNY THEN DIED BUT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP THEN THE SERVICE STIBILKL TRACK CAME ON . BUT AFTER A COUPLE MIN IT WENT AWAY SO I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND STARTED TO WORK WENT ABOUT TWO MILES NOTICED THAT THE FAN FOR THE HEATER WAS NOT WORKING THE THE POWER STEARING SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON KEPT DRIVING THE THE SERVICE BATTERY SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AFTER ABOUT 12 MILES THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT THE I COULD SMELL SOMETHING GETTING WARM THEN THE CAR ENGIN STOPED COSTED IN TO THE PARKING LOT GOT OUT THERE WAS NOTHING PUT THE CHARGERE ON THE BATTERTY IT STARTED BUT NOT SURE IF TO DRIVE IT HOME AFTER CHARGING OR NOT. I SEE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MODUAL ON THAT YEAR OF CARS BUT MINE NEVER HAD GOT FIXED OR NOTHING. SO NOT SURE WHAT TO DO IT HAS RIGHT AT 100000 ON IT NOW SO NO WARENTY. I CALLED THE CHEVY GARAGE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT COULD BE WRONG BUT IT JUST WORIES ME SMELLING SOMTHING GETTING HOT

EXPRESSWAY.THE RADIO BLACKED OUT, STOPPED PLAYING AND THEN THE CAR STARTED SHUTTING DOWN-EVERYTHING!STEERING WENT OUT, RADIO, LIGHTS, BLINKERS, ETC.I TOOK IT AS SLOW AS I COULD ALL THE WAY HOME AND GOT ONTO BACK ROADS.THIS PROVED TO BE EVEN MORE HAZARDOUS-EVERY TIME I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL IT WOULD START TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN & AGAIN, ALL THE WAY HOME.I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER-FIXED BUT NOW HAPPENING AGAIN.SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS QUICKLY AND RECOVERS QUICKLY ENOUGH THAT THE ENGINE IS NOT INVOLVED.MY WARNING SIGN IS THAT THE RADIO CUTS OUT AND THE SCREEN GOES BLANK.THAT'S WHEN I KNOW TO PREPARE MYSELF. SOMETIMES THAT IS ALL THAT HAPPENS.OTHER TIMES IT'S MAJOR! I LOOK FOR AN ESCAPE ROUTE-CAN I GET OFF THE ROAD QUICKLY, ARE THERE OTHER CARS AROUND ME, BRACE BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, SLOW MY SPEED AND PRAY.2/10/19, I WAS DRIVING 55+ MPH ON A 2 LANE ROAD.IT WAS A FAST RADIO OUT, FAST ENGINE WIND DOWN AND OUT OF POWER AND DOOR LOCKS WENT ON AND OFF.THERE WAS A DRIVEWAY FOR ME TO PULL IN TO AND ASSESS THE SITUATION.ENGINE THEN ENGAGED AND THINGS SEEMED BACK TO NORMAL.I CONTINUED HOME, HAD 2 ISSUES BUT I WAS GOING SLOWER AS I WAS AWARE THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN.I PULLED OVER AND CONTINUED EACH TIME.I HAD TO STOP AT THE STORE AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE CAR WAS TRYING TO SHUT DOWN AND STEERING WENT OUT MORE THAN ONCE UNTIL I FINALLY GOT IN THE PARKING SPOT.DROVE HOME,PARKED.I WENT INTO THE HOUSE AN READ THE MANUAL.I DECIDED TO GO OUT AND CHECK MY FUSES.KEY FOB DID NOT WORK.DOORS WERE UNLOCKED, GOT IN CAR, PUT KEY IN THE IGNITION AND CAR WAS TOTALLY DEAD.KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION.MY HUSBAND CALLED TOW TRUCK IN THE AM TO JUMP.CAR WOULD NOT JUMP SO HE HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER WHERE IT IS AT THIS MOMENT.I AM AFRAID I'M GOING TO BE KILLED OR CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE HARM IF THEY END UP CRASHING INTO ME BECAUSE OF THE QUICK SHUT DOWN AND LOSS OF STEERING!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND THE KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR CAUSES ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INSIDE VEHICLE TO BE DISABLED. HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING DO NOT FUNCTION AND TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER OCCURS. THIS OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE STATIONARY.

ORIGINALLY TAKEN IN FOR WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT. NOW STALLS AND DIES RANDOMLY AND GIVES CODES FOR VARIOUS WRONGS, MOST OFTEN FOR WATER IN FUEL LINE. THERE IS NO WATER IN THERE. THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT WHILE I WAS PARKED, WHEN I TRIED TO LEAVE, THAT'S WHEN IT DIED.

THE SUNROOF ELECTRICAL SWITCH MALFUNCTIONS. AFTER OPENING, THE ROOF DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AND STAYS PARTIALLY OPENED.

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE SINCE I'VE HAD IT IT HAS REDUCED ENGINE POWER ( STABILTRAK) ON ME WHILE DRIVING. JUST RECENTLY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH CODES READING FOR CAMSHAFT ACTUATORS FAILING AND PCM FAILING. THE CAR CHUGS WILL DRIVING AND HAS EVEN DIED WHILE OPERATING.

I HAVE A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU ECO AND WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BAD GAS AT FIRST BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. WELL NOT EVEN 15 MINUTES LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP LIKE IT DID BEFORE AND DIDNT HAVE NO MORE ISSUES OUT OF IT. THE NEXT DAY HAD TO DO SOME RUNNING AROUND THE CAR DID FINE UNTIL THE WAY HOME. THE CAR CUT OFF ON ME THREE DIFFERENT TIMES.ONLY DOES IT WHEN I COME TO A STOP NO MATTER WHERE I'M AT. SOMEDAYS THE CAR DOES BETTER THEN OTHERS JUST HOPE IT DON'T CUT OFF ON ME WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE ELECTRICAL AND POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY WAS LOST. ON SOME OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PALM CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 2300 SW COLLEGE RD, OCALA, FL 34471, (352) 484-0733) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4928351338. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU ECO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE APPROACHED A RED LIGHT AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED NORMALLY, BUT STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,587.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU ECO. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BATTERY SERVICE, SERVICE STABILITY, AND POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND THE BATTERY WAS CHARGED BY A PASSERBY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT, LOSS OF BATTERY LIFE, HAD IT TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS, NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AT ONE TIME, THE TRUNK HAS A TERRIBLE REALLY WEIRD SMELL, I STILL OWE A LOT ON THIS CAR AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT OR GET ANOTHER ONE, ONLY HAD APPROX. 50,000 MILES WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS, CALLED GM, DEALSHIP REPLACED BATTERY, SAME THING KEEPS HAPPENING, WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE BATTERY CHARGE IS LOW MY HEADLIGHTS GO EXTREMELY DIM VERY QUICKLY, THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CAR WILL JUST DIE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING, COMPLETELY DEAD,

FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW S 'SERVICE AIRBAG' LIGHT HAS BEEN ON, NO ONE WHO TESTS IT CAN SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. WHEN ANYONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE DASH TURNS OFF, ALL LIGHTS ON IT, STEREO, ALL GAUGES CEASE TO FUNCTION AS WELL AS THE A/C. HAS BEEN TAKEN TO NUMEROUS DEALERSHIPS & SHOPS WITH NO CONCLUSION BESIDES THAT 'IT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE' THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I NOTICE MANY PEOPLE HAVE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE & MODEL WHEN I SEARCHED FOR A RECALL, ASTONISHING THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE & VINS EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM AREN'T ON THE RECALL LISTS. THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR ARE FINE ACCORDING TO MECHANICS, NO REASON THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT SHOULD APPEAR & INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING THAT I CANT HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY DURING ARIZONA SUMMER WEATHER, NOT TO MENTION THE DANGER POSED BY NO GAUGES BEING VISIBLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING WITH NO WARNING. THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES AS THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ATHENS CHEVROLET (4110 ATLANTA HWY, ATHENS, GA 30606, 706-549-3512) WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS REPLACED HOWEVER AFTER A WEEK THE VEHICLE HAD CONTINUED TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER DUE TO THE CONTACT HAVING TO CONSTANTLY RECHARGE THE BATTERY. THE DEALER THEN INDICATED THAT THE ECO BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V173000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) OR NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: AQ14001 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER WHO SOLD THE VEHICLE, WORLD TOYOTA, 5800 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD, ATLANTA, GA 30341, 1-(678) 547-9000 WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES TO DETERMINE IF THE WARRANTY MAY BE USED TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND HAD NOT RESPONSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE TO DETERMINE IF THE WARRANTY MAY COVER THE REPAIR AND IF NOT TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY TO THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR MULITIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OCCUR, I WILL TURN ON THE BLINKERS AND THE RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS WILL GO OUT AND BACK ON. AT TIMES THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER AND I WILL HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE MOST DANGEROUS TIME I WAS TURNING LEFT ON VAN DYKE AVE IN WARREN MICHIGAN, A LARGE 6 LANE ROAD, WHEN I LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING POWER STEERING I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY TURN THE KEY IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND GET OFF THE ROAD BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC ARRIVED. I TOOK MY CAR TO HAMILTON CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER 2 WEEKS THERE, AND DROVE TO WORK THE NEXT MORNING AT 5AM AND PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AS I PARKED THE CAR, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER EXCEPT THIS TIME I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED BACK TO HAMILTON CHEVROLET.

WHILE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, THE CAR RADIO WILL TURN OFF, POWER STEERING IS AFFECTED (VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEEL), LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD ALL COME ON AND IF BACKING UP THE REAR CAMERA WILL NOT WORK. REPAIR SHOP CANT FIGURE OUT, TESTED ELECTRICAL, BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. SCARY LOTS OF OTHERS POSTING VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!!

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON, CANT CLEAR. SCREEN ON RADIO IS COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT AND WONT TURN ON. TRUNK RANDOMLY POPS OPEN BY ITSELF. HARD DOWN SHIFT. BATTERY SEEMS WEAKENING WHEN CRANKING CAR UP

OVER THE LAST 3 WEEKS, WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS GONE INTO THE AUTO SHUT-OFF MODE, IT DOESN'T ALWAYS START BACK UP WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

THE DASHBOARD COMPLETELY WENT OUT NO GAUGES WORK, NO FUSES ARE BLOWN AND DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHY

2013 MALIBU LS SAME PROBLEM AS ECO HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR AWHILE NOW VOLTAGE DROPS ENGING STALLS POWER STERING BRAKES EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF ALSO DOES THIS WHEN YOU TURN TURN SIGNALS ON RADIO EVERY THING SHUTS OFF THIS IS A FACTORY PROBLEM THAT NEED TO BE FIXED THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR KILLED NO CONTROL WHEN EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF DOES THIS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS

DRIVING DOWN ROAD ENGINE STALLS FOR 30 TO 40 SECONDS EVERYTHYING SHUTS DOWN LOW VOLTAGE WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON

CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT A MECHANIC BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT BEGAN WITH THE RPMS GOING TO 3000-4000 WHEN BARELY PRESSING GAS PEDAL. THE CAR STALLED AFTER PUTTING IT IN REVERSE NEARLY CAUSING ME TO GET HIT, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO WE TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO OUR MECHANIC. THE CODE FOR A BAD CAM SOLENOID WAS LISTED, AND THAT WAS REPLACED. DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK, STILL NOTICING ISSUES WITH RPMS, AND WHEN BRAKING, THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE. JUST HAD TO DROP IT BACK OFF AT MECHANIC BECAUSE WHILE GOING 30MPH, THE CAR WHEN TO 4000 RPMS AND THE 'ENGINE OVERSPEED' LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, AND THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED, THE RPMS WOULD NOT GO BEYOND 2000, AND THE FUEL HAND WENT TO A FULL TANK? THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR WITH 70,000 MILES, AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANKFULLY I'VE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT YET, BUT I'M FEARFUL IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I'LL NOT BE ABLE TO SAY THAT!

DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLICKS ON & OFF WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY, SIDE STREET OR STATIONARY NO DIFFERENCE. CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS BEING STARTED OVER & OVER WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE, STABILITY CONTROL & OTHER WARNINGS FLASH. BELL DINGS OVER & OVER. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. NO SPEED/OIL/GAS INDICATORS. DEALERSHIP & MECHANIC SHOP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG DURING DIAGNOSTICS. NO CODES.

SATURDAY I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED. THE WHEEL LOCKED AND THEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD NO PROBLEM RESTARTING IT. TODAY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING.

THE SEAT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND GETS STUCK IN POSITION, CURRENTLY THE BACK IS TILTED NEARLY ALL THE WAY BACK AND WILL NOT TILT BACK UP

WHILE DRIVING AND MOVING OR USING STEERING DRIVE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. I ALMOST HAD 2 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY SUDDENLY THE CAR WHILE DRIVING SHUTS DOWN, STEREO GOES OFF AND DRIVING STEERING WHEEL GOES HARD I CANT USE IT. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR TRYING TO PARK IT IT SHUTS DOWN AND KEYS GET LOCKED OR STUCK, UNABLE TO REMOVE KEYS. WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES IF YOU TURN ON HIGHLIGHTS IT SHUTS DOWN THE CAR. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND CHEVROLET. I ALMOST CRASH WITH OTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. IT REALLY IS A FABRIC ISSUE, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CASES AND COMPLAINTS DEMONSTRATING THAT THIS IS A ERROR THAT GM OR CHEVROLET NEEDS TO FIX FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

ON AUD. 24, 2018 WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO CUT OFF. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN EVERYTHING INSIDE WENT BLANK AND THE CAR STALLED. I PUT IN PARK AND STARTED IT BACK UP. THREE MINUTES LATER IT DID THE SAME THING, I PUT IN PARK AGAIN AND STARTED IT BACK UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ON MY WAY HOME THAT AFTERNOON IT DID IT TWICE AGAIN. I SAW WHERE WAS A RECALL IN 2013 BUT MINE MUST HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. ITS VERY SCARY RIDING IN TRAFFIC AND YOUR CALL STALLS AND EVERYTHING JUST SHUTS DOWN ON YOU AND I FEEL IT'S ALSO DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS AND NEED TO KNOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO ABOUT IT. I NEED MY CAR TO GO TO WORK.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR IT FIRST STARTED WITH CAMSHAFT AND SOLENOID SWITCH TO HAVING TO REPAIR THE TIMING CHANGE AFTER THAT WAS REPAIRED I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SHUTTING COMPLETELY DOWN LOCKING MY KEYS IN THE IGNITION I WAS TOLD BY STEVE RAYMOND CHEVROLET TO HAVE THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECK HAD THAT DONE EVERYTHING COME BACK OKAY THEN I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE BATTERY IN MY KEY CHAIN DID THAT I WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS MY MAIN BATTERY WOULD LOSE VOLTAGE FLUCTUATE UP AND DOWN IF THE BATTERY VOLTAGE GET TO LOW THAT IS WHEN THE WHOLE CAR SHUTS DOWN THEN FINALLY AFTER ALL THAT I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT MY GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY I HAVE CONTACT GM AND REPORTED IT TO THEM THEY ARE TELLING ME MY VIN IS NOT THE ONE WITH THE RECALL MY CAR HAS THE EASSIST INSTALLED IN MY ECO I ASKED THEM TO SEND ME A LISTING OF THE CHEVROLET MALIBU ECO 2013 I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LIST I GOT ON NHTSA WEBSITE AND THERE WAS A RECALL ALONG WITH ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS GCM IT ALSO STATED THAT THESE CARS WAS NOT TO BE SOLD ULESS THESE VEHICLES WERE REPAIRED WITH NEW GCM INSTALLED IN THEM MY PART NUMBER IS ALSO LISTED WHICH IS 24269448 I ALSO FOUND PAPERWORK FROM GM ABOUT THIS MATTER I NEED FOR THEM TO STEP UP AND REPAIR MY VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BACK ON 08/07/2014 I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT I HAD A HYBRID VEHICLE OR IF THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR.ALSO WHEN IT FIRST STARTED I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY SENSOR IN MY BACK UP CAMERA WAS NOT WORKING BECAUSE I FIRST HAD LOST POWER TO MY RADIO, BACKUP CAMERA, AND AC I WAS BEING TOLD ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 55 TO 60 MPH, THE CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO ENGAGE INTO DISCHARGE MODE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V173000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOID WAS REPLACED UNDER SPECIAL WARRANTY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AFTER THIS WAS REPLACED. WAS TOLD IT WAS NOW THE INTAKE SOLENOID. THIS ALSO SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE SAME WARRANTY. WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 258.00 TO REPLACE.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE ISSUE OF ATALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE ELECTRICAL POWER WILL CUT OUT AFFECTING MY BREAKS, POWER STEERING, GAUGES, AND ENGINE. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED OVER MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE MY CAR FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTH DASHBOARD IS DEAD IT JUMPS ON AND OFF FROM TIME TO TIME , SERVICES LIGHTS ARE COMING ON , MY STEERLING WHEEL IS PULLING TO THE RIGHT I CAN'T LET IT GO WITH IT PULLING AND ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK ON THE ROAD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE SERVICE BATTERY AND ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON EIGHT DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DYER CHEVROLET FT. PIERCE (4200 SOUTH US HIGHWAY 1, FORT PIERCE, FL 34982, (772) 461-4800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 188,000. *TT THE RECALL WAS FOR GCM GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE. UPDATED 9/26/18*JB

WHILE DRIVING (ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS) ON CITY STREETS MY CAR EXPERIENCES MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC FAILURES INCLUDING.. FLICKERING DISPLAY SCREEN, LOSS OF MY LINK RADIO SYSTEM, SHUT DOWN OF POWER STEERING, AND WARNING DISPLAYS OF NEED TO SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM. WHEN IT FIRST OCCURED I WAS TURNING RIGHT IN A CITY INTERSECTION LOSS OF POWER STEERING LED THE WHEEL TO LOCK AND THIS LACK OF CONTROL ALMOST FORCED ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, I WAS FORCED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTIONS AND RESTART THE CAR TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT CONTINUES TO DISPLAY THIS ISSUE UNTIL I MADE IT TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ALSO DROVE THE VEHICLE AND LOGGED SIMILIAR EXPERIENCES. AFTER THE ISSUE WAS THOUGHT TO BE A LOOSE GROUND IN THE CAR THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RESOLVED.I EMAILED CHEVY MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT MY CONCERNS WONDERING IF THIS WAS A NOTED PROBLEM FOR MY CAR, I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL THEY WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. SINCE IT SEEMED TO BE OKAY I LET IT GO AND CONTINUED. A COUPLE DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING THE CAR EXPERIENCED ANOTHER REOCCURRENCE OF THE INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING THIS TIME ONLY LOSS OF RADIO AND OTHER DISPLAYS. I AGAIN EMAILED CHEVY AND TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP. I STARTED GOOGLING TO FIND ANSWERS WHERE I FOUND MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH 100S OF SIMILAR EXAMPLES AND CHEVY VIA EMAIL STILL CONTINUES TO DENY ISSUES WITH THE MANUFACTURERING OF THE CAR. AFTER 10 DAYS IN THE SHOP, HOUNDING CHEVY FOR ANSWERS I WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE WORD OF A MEMO FROM A LOCAL CHEVY MECHANIC THAT STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MY MODEL/YEAR AND LISTED POTENTIAL FIXES. WHEN I INFORMED CHEVY OF MY ANGER TOWARDS THE MEMO BEING KEPT FROM ME THEY REPLIED THAT I WASN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE THE INFORMATION SINCE I WASN'T A CHEVY MECHANIC. THE ISSUE HAS NOW OCCURED AGAIN ALMOST RESULTING IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT AND MY CAR LOST POWER COMPLETELY. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS.

MY 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS TO DATE. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. I HAD TO WAIT FOR 10 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE POWER RETURNED AND COULD REMOVE THE KEY OR RESTART THE VEHICLE. ON THE THIRD OCCASION, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONING LOST POWER AND THE CAR WAS THREATENING TO SHUT OFF BUT REGAINED POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL BRIEFLY LOCKED UP DURING THIS EVENT. I LATER TURNED OFF ON THE NEAREST EXIT MAKING A COMPLETE STOP AT THE LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE POWER AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, THE RADIO AND ALL LIGHTS WENT BLACK AND THE AIR SHUT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS THEN ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE SLOWING FOR A STOP LIGHT.THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHILE TRYING TO BACK OUT WITH THE CAR STILL IN DRIVE. THERE WERE ALSO A FEW TIMES WHERE THE RADIO WENT BLACK AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP BRIEFLY WHILE MAKING A TURN BUT DID NOT LOOSE POWER. MY DAILY COMMUTE TO WORK REQUIRES ME TO TAKE THE HIGHWAY. I AM TERRIFIED OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN AFTER THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY WHEN I AM TO RETURN TO WORK AND TRAVEL THE HIGHWAY AGAIN.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR, THE WHOLE CAR SHUT OFF. THE BATTERY GOES BASICALLY DEAD AND MY STEERING LOCKS ON ME. I THEN HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD JUST SO I CAN RESTART THE CAR. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY YESTERDAY WITH MY 6 SIX YEAR OLD GODSON AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. IT IS STARTING TO GET SCARY AND I NEED IT FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU ECO. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS FRACTURED AND WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THE BATTERY WAS ALSO REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THE DEALER (HAASZ DALTON AUTO MALL, 315 S MILL ST, DALTON, OH 44618) WAS CONTACTED, BUT NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT IT FAILED TO START. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE AND BATTERY WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VIVA CHEVROLET (5915 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX 79925, (915) 247-2086) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,200.

STARTING IN OCTOBER 23, 2017 GOT IN THE CAR STARTED IT AND IT STARTED BUT DASHBOARD LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME THE DASHBOARD NEVER CAME BACK ON. I GOT IN THE CAR THE NEXT DAY THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON.. I TOOK IT GEORGE MATICK CHEVROLET ON OCTOBER 24, 2017 AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE ANYTHING, THE CAR CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME WITH THE LIGHTS BLINKING ON AND OFF INCLUDING THE SIGNAL LIGHT WHILE DRIVING UNTIL ONE DAY THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY BLACK AND THE BATTERY DIED COMPLETELY DOWN AND I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO GEORGE MATICK CHEVY ON JANUARY 31, 2018. ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE ANYTHING BOOSTED THE CAR AND THAT'S IT. STILL TO THIS DAY THE CAR CONTINUES DOING THE SAME AND THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG. I FEEL UNSAFE AND BELIEVE THIS IS ELECTRICAL AND WONDER IF THE CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE. I ALSO WONDER IF IT WILL START UP EVERY DAY AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I DRIVE IT. EVERY SINGLE DAY IT IS DOING THIS. I KEEP CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THEY BASICALLY ARE SAYING IF THE MACHINE CANNOT DO ANYTHING THEY CANNOT HELP ME. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANOTHER WAY THIS ISSUE CAN BE CHECKED OR IF I HAVE TO TRADE IN A CAR THAT I JUST GOT OVER A YEAR AGO. THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT IN AND KEEP PAYING FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. I AM NO MECHANIC BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATOR LIGHT SIGNALS ETC SHOULD NOT BLINK WHILE DRIVING AND THE DASH SHOULD NEVER GO BLACK WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I AM REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE AND CANNOT GET ANYONE TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU CANNOT SEE YOUR SPEED, GAS LEVEL, ETC. IN ADDITION WHEN SIGNALS ARE BLINKING AND GOING CRAZY FOR NO REASON THE CAR BEHIND ME COULD HIT ME. SO THIS HAPPENS NOW IN MOTION EVERY SINGLE DAY ON STREETS, HIGHWAYS. TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT.

KEEP STUCK IN IGNITION. NO POWER. HAD P0010 CODE. CHANGED THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION SOLENOID.

SAFETY RISK: THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. RADIO AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE POWER STEERING FAILS. THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS RANDOMLY BOTH ON HIGHWAYS, STREET DRIVING (STOP-START), WHILE MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AND REVERSING OUT OF PARKING SPACES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (SCHUMACHER CHEVROLET IN CLIFTON, NJ) 3 TIMES AND THEY CLAIM THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON TEST DRIVING. ON THE 1ST VISIT THEY SAID IT WAS THE RADIO AND REPLACED A PART. ON THE 2ND VISIT THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY, WHICH WAS REPLACED YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. MY MALIBU IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND THEY CALLED AND OF COURSE, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IN ADDITION TO THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE, THE "SERVICE FRONT CAMERA" LIGHT WILL DISPLAY AND AFTER THE LAST EVENT, I SELECTED THE VOLTAGE READING ON THE ELECTRONIC DASHBOARD PANEL AND WATCHED THE VOLTAGE METER FLUCTUATE FROM 13.6 TO 14.1 AS I WAS DRIVING, AND IT REMAINED AT 14.9 WHILE STATIONARY. THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I PRAY THAT NO DRIVER GETS HURT BEFORE CHEVROLET TAKES ACTION TO FIGURE THIS PROBLEM OUT. I HAD NO IDEA THAT SO MANY OTHER 2013 VEHICLES WERE SIMILARLY AFFECTED. I AM GOING TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO GENERAL MOTORS AND I HOPE OTHERS CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME.

HEAT BLOWER STOP WORKING. TOOK TO DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE WIRING HARNEST FOR THE HEATER BLOWER WAS MELTED IT HAD BEEB RECEIVING TOO MUCH POWER THE SOURCE IS UNKNOW. THIS COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR INFORMED ME THAT I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND ONSTAR CALLED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IN ORDER TO STOP THE FLASHERS I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. I INFORMED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE BEEN TESTING , CALLING GM, AND REPAIRING FOR 6WEEKS. THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT IS FIXED AND I DRIVE IT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 WEEKS NOW AND IT'S STILL AT THE DEALER. THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR IN ADDITION TO TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS THE CAR WOULD STOP ALL TOGETHER. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR SAFTEY ISSUE TO ME.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING, OR NOT WORK AT ALL. IT GOES COMPLETELY DARK, WITH NO READOUT. SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, TEMPERATURE, TACHOMETER. NOTHING WORKS. VEHICLE HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT.

MY 2013 CHEVY MALIBU HAS BEEN HAVING POWER AND/OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HAVE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS OF TIMES, BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING. WHEN I STEER LEFT OR RIGHT, MY CAR POWERS DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. SOME TIMES THE CAR RADIO SCREEN AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHES ON & OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AND POWER OFF ON ITS OWN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BUT THAT IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE RIGHT NOW. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON AND I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

BLEND DOOR FUNCTIONS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL ONLY ALLOWS HEAT TO DRIVERS SIDE OF VEHICLE. PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS A/C COLD AIR NO MATTER IF A/C IS ON OR OFF. PERIODICALLY DRIVERS SIDE ONLY WORKS ON DEFROST OR FEET ONLY SETTINGS. HAVE TO HAVE HEAT TO FOOT SETTING AND STUFF BLANKET UNDER PASSENGER SIDE DASH TO HEAT CAR IN WINTER. I CANNOT DEFROST ENTIRE WINDOW.

RADIO SCREEN BLACKS OUT

MY MALIBU'S DASHBOARD WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. NO SPEED, ODOMETER READINGS, FUEL, TEMPERATURE OR DIGITAL SPEED DISPLAY WORKS. IT WILL COME ON AND WORK FINE BUT WILL RANDOMLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES DURING START UP THE DASH WILL NOT EVEN START UP WITH THE CAR. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE TO FIX. I HAVE NO AFTERMARKET PARTS ON THIS CAR AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH.

THIS 2013 CHEVY MALIBU IS LIKE A METAL DEATH TRAP, IN MY OPINION. I'M NOTICING A LOT MORE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CAR (AS I'M DRIVING) WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF; THE RADIO WILL FIRST SHUT OFF, MY DASHBOARD WILL GO BLACK, AND MY STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP. USUALLY I CAN TELL WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE WHEN I'M AT A LIGHT, I CAN JUST SEE THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD FLICKERING, SO IF I HAVE TIME, I WILL TURN IT ON AND OFF REAL QUICK. SOMETIMES WHEN I DO THAT THOUGH, MY CAR WON'T TURN BACK ON. BUT, WHEN IT DOES WORK, IT'S JUST A TEMPORARY FIX AND WILL START AGAIN ONCE I START TO DRIVE. THIS WILL HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. I WILL TRY TO TURN, AND MY STEERING WHEEL WILL JUST LOCK WHERE I CANNOT CONTROL MY CAR AS I'M DRIVING. SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65-70 MPH, I CAN'T CONTROL MY CAR FOR 5-10 SECONDS, LET'S JUST SAY IT'S ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS THAT YOU CAN HAVE WHILE OPERATING A VEHICLE. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED, I ALMOST HIT A MAN ON HIS BICYCLE. I'VE CALLED CHEVY, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. APPARENTLY THERE'S NO OPEN RECALLS OR BULLETINS FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I TAKE IT TO GET IT CHECKED, THEY CAN NEVER FIND AN ISSUE. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED FOR CHEVY TO ADDRESS THIS?

CAR STARTS EVER NOW AND THAN. IT WON'T START ALL THE TIME AND BREAKS DOWN ALL THE ELECTRICAL IN THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS IF THE CAR STARTS IT WILL SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHICH COULD KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE THE BREAKS WON'T WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF RADIO SHUTS OFF NOTHING ELECTRICAL WORKS I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. NOT SURE WHAT IT IS AND THE DEALER ISN'T SURE WHAT IT IS

7/31/17 MY CAR WOULDNT START DASHBOARD SAID SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM-ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE BATTERY (WHICH WAS AT 83%) MY FATHER JUMPED MY CAR THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN BUT IT STARTED AND WITHIN 5 MILES THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (8/1/17-AT THIS TIME I ALSO OPENED A CASE WITH GM DUE TO AN OPEN RECALL THAT MY VIN DIDNT FIT BUT ISSUE WAS VERY SIMILAR) AFTER 4 DAYS OF WAITING (8/4/17) THEY SAID IT WAS JUST MY BATTERY-THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY AND 8/5/17 2 DAYS AFTER PICKING MY CAR UP MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND TODAY IS THE SOONEST THEY COULD DO A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC ON MY CAR SO I WILL BE DROPPING IT OFF..FYI I CALLED GM 08/03/17 TO ASK THAT THEY TOW MY CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP SINCE THE ONE I PAID TO HAVE IT TOWED TO WAS TAKING SO LONG TO GET TO IT AND WAS TOLD BY A SENIOR ADVISOR, ALEETHA, THAT THEY RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER ON 08/01/17 STATING THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS THE ISSUE AND THEY WERENT GOING TO COVER IT I ADVISED THAT I HAD JUST SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY HADNT EVEN TAKEN A LOOK AT MY CAR NEEDS TO SAY ALEETHA TOLD ME I WASNT CAR SAVVY ENOUGH TO KNOW WHETHER THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS AFFECTING MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (I HAD MY LOWER CONTROL ARM REPLACED 11/2016) AND THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO I ASKED THAT WE DO A CONFERENCE CALL WITH THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER AND SHE STATED SHE WOULD CALL ME RIGHT BACK WITH HER ON THE PHONE AND I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM HER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEVER CONTACTED GM WITH THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE MY CAR STILL HADNT BEEN LOOKED AT.

THE RADIO/NAVIGATION IN MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY TURNS OFF. I BEGAN A SEARCH ON THE WEB TO SEE IF THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE ONLY TO FIND THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE AND IT COULD LEAD TO MORE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS, YET CHEVY WON'T RECALL IT AND THE NHTSA DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO GET INVOLVED. HERE IS THE LINK FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR SITUATIONS REGARDING ELECTRICAL (RADIO/NAVIGATION) AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT OCCUR AFTER THE RADIO/NAVIGATION APPEAR TO BEGIN FAILING: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHEVROLET/MALIBU/2013/ELECTRICAL/ELECTRICAL_SYSTEM-2.SHTML THE PROBLEM STARTED 3 DAYS AGO. I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY A NAVIGATION SYSTEM ISSUE. THEN THE TOUCH SCREEN (RADIO AND NAVIGATION) GO BLANK AND ONLY SOME OF THE ITEMS REAPPEAR. THE RADIO HAS TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN AT LEAST THREE TIMES. THE CLOCK WASN'T APPEARING ON THE SCREEN. THE CLOCK THEN READ 23:32 BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY 7:45 P.M. IS IT GOING TO TAKE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY FOR ATTENTION? THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS WHEN I START IT AND WHILE I'M DRIVING. NOT ALL OF THE MENU ITEMS REAPPEAR ON THE TOUCH SCREEN AFTER THE PROBLEM STARTS. SO FAR, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BUT THIS IS SCARY, AND I WILL FILE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IF THINGS GET WORSE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND MY RADIO WAS SHUTTING OFF AND ON AND THEN MY VEHICLE WOULD DIE AND THE KEY WOULD LOCK UP, I HAD TO SIT THERE FOR A MINUTE BEFORE IT WOULD FINALLY START BACK UP.THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ALREADY. LUCKILY I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED

MY VEHICLE WAS NOT STARTING. STARTED AFTER A JUMP. THE NEXT DAY I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT START AFTER A JUMP. I TESTED THE BATTERY, IT WAS GOOD. I TESTED THE ALTERNATOR, IT WAS GOOD. I GOT THE BATTERY CHARGED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED THAT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE, I FOUND A RECALL ON 2013 CHEVY MALIBU ECO CARS FOR LOSS OF BATTERY CHARGE DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING GCM. THE RECALL DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE DOWN TO THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT COMING ON, WHICH IT DID. HOWEVER, AFTER SEARCHING FOR RECALLS USING MY VIN THERE WEREN'T ANY OPEN. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THAT RECALL HAD NOT BEEN SERVICED ON MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THAT RECALL SHOULD BE OPEN ON MY VEHICLE.

THE CAR RADIO SCREEN TURNED BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER SHE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. LUCKILY SHE HAD HER FOOT ON THE BREAK AND WAS NOT GOING ANY RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE READ ALMOST ABOUT 100 COMPLAINTS NOW OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM BUT MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS IT HAPPENED WHEN THEY WERE DRIVING AT A CONSIDERABLE SPEED WHERE THE RADIO DASH TURNED OF AND THEY LOSE POWER TO THE CAR FOR A SECOND OR SO. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE THERE ARE ANY DEATHS. *TR

FIRST MY DASH CLUSTER WENT OUT NOTHING WORK HAD A NEW ONE PUT IN AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEK IT WENT OUT AGAIN HAD IT AT THE DEALER THEY DON'T KNOW WHY. SO I DID NOT REPLACE IT THIS TIME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT WELL HAPPEN AGAIN THE COST TO REPLACE IS ON ME. NOW I'M HAVING MOTOR IS HAVING A OIL LEAK BAD FOUND OUT WHY THE VALEVTRAIN OIL CONTROL PASSAGES INTEGRATED HAS COME APART AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT ON WARRANTY SAID THAT I DID NOT CHANGE THE OIL WHEN IT CAME TIME TO DO I HAVE IT CHANGE ALL THE TIME AT THE DEALER WHEN IT COME TIME WHEN LIGHT COME ON TO TELL ME. THIS IS HIGH DOLLAR TO PAID FOR IT AS THEY SAID TOP OF THE MOTOR HAS TO BE TAKEN APART. AND THEY WOULD NOT LET GM KNOW OF THIS. *TR

MY CHEVY MALIBU HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IT STARTED AFTER MY CAR DIED AT THE END OF AN HOUR'S DRIVE. I THOUGHT I WAS EXPERIENCING BATTERY ISSUES BUT PERSISTED MONTHS WITH NO OTHER ISSUES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 4 MONTHS LATER (DECEMBER 3RD), AND THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED ON ME WHILE TRAVELING HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING A SNOW STORM. MY POWER STEERING WAS BARELY OPERABLE, WHILE MY LIGHTS HEAT AND RADIO COMPLETELY STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE DEALERSHIPS SEEM TO BE CLULESS ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE ONE I VISITED SEEMED ADAMANT THAT THE ISSUE COULD BE STEMMING FROM MY KEY! CHEVY HAS BEEN HELPFUL ONLY IN THE SENSE THAT THEY GAVE ME A $100 CREDIT TO GET THE CAR DIAGNOSED (WHICH HASN'T GIVEN ANY RESULTS). I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE HORROR STORIES FROM THIS ISSUE AND AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL SOMETHING IS FIXED.

RADIO, INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WHEN I TURN ON MY SIGNAL LIGHTS OR SOMETIMES WHEN I'M JUST RIDING. IT SEEMS TO ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN I'M GOING AT SPEEDS 40MPH AND ABOVE. IT'S VERY SCARY AND MY GIRLFRIEND WHOM IS PREGNANT WITH OUR CHILD HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO HER ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY DRIVER SEAT IS STUCK ALL THE WAY IN THE FULL RECLINE POSITION AND WONT GO BACK UP. I CONTACTED CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME 1,400 TO BUY A WHOLE NEW SEAT. I DONT HAVE 1400 LAYING AROUND TO BUY A NEW WHOLE SEAT AND THAT IT TROUBLES ME THAT A WHOLE SEAT WOULD GO OUT WITH MY CAR WHEN IT HAS LESS THAN 45,000 MILES. NOW MY WIFE AND I ARE FORCED TO DRIVE A UNSAFE CAR BECAUSE NOT ONLY WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY LAYING AROUND FOR A SEAT THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE BROKE AT 42000 MILES. IVE CONTACTED GM BUT THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME BACK YET. I ALSO PAID 130 DOLLARS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME THAT I NEED A WHOLE NEW SEAT? I COULD HAVE TOLD THEM THAT. I HOPE I DON'T GET IN A ACCIDENT PROBABLY WONT HAVE A CHANCE WITH THE WAY THE SEAT IS SITTING SEAT BELT WONT WORK PROPERLY.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 MALIBU SINCE I PURCHASE IT ON OCTOBER 22, 2015. ON OCTOBER 07,2016 ME AND MY CHILD ALMOST GOT HIT BY A 18 WHEELER GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE. I RAN IN THE DITCH TO AVOID HAVING A ACCIDENT. I LOOK IN THE DASH OF THE CAR AND IT STATED THAT ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND WHEN I PUSH THE GAS DOWN IT TOLD ME ENGINE OVERSPEED. THE CAR IS PARK NOW BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE.

WHEN DRIVING, SPECIFICALLY AT NIGHT, ALL LIGHTS FLICKER OFF, WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING IDLE. ALSO WHEN I PUT ON THE TURN SIGNAL, OR JUST MAKE A TURN, STOP, ACCELERATE. THERE IS NO REASON, JUST HAPPENS, THE LIGHTS FLICKER OFF. ALL OF THE LIGHTS, INCLUDING THE SCREEN. ALL THE LIGHTS GO COMPLETELY OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN COME RIGHT BACK ON. TWICE THE CAR HAS TURNED OFF, ALL THE LIGHTS GO OUT, THEN THEY COME BACK ON, BUT OF COURSE THE CAR IS STILL OFF. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE SECOND TIME, HOWEVER, I WAS ON THE ROAD, WITH MY KID IN THE CAR. WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT AND THE WHOLE CAR TURNED OFF. THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON BUT I HAD TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON.

BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP TWICE. FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED A SENSOR, SECOND TIME THEY COULD ADVISED THEY DIDN'T KNOW AND TO BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIRD TIME BROUGHT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED IT WAS RELATED TO THE ECO AND WE SHOULD BRING TO A DEALER. EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR SAFETY AND WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND FREQUENTLY DRIVE THROUGH MINNEAPOLIS/ST PAUL AREAS WHERE THERE IS HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CONSTRUCTION.

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.

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.

THE CAR WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT! THE CODES ON MY CAR IS P00014 AND P00010. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

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.

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...

I WAS RIDING IN THE CAR WITH MY WIFE AND COUSIN HEADING TO HER BROTHERS HOUSE. WE HAD JUST DROVE FROM OUT OF TOWN AFTER VISITING SOME FAMILY MEMBERS AND WAS TAKING MY COUSIN BACK HOME. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICE THE CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ACTING UP IT WOULD SAY I NEEDED TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE OR THE BACK TIRE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. IT ALSO WOULD SAY I NEEDED TO PUT MY SEAT BELT ON WHEN IT WAS ON. BUT THIS WAS NOT MY BIGGEST CONCERN MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING RAN OFF THE ROAD A STRUCK A TREE HEAD ON. HAD SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING FASTER THEN WHAT SHE WAS GOING I FELL AS IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. THE AIRBAGS NEVER CAME OUT AND THIS WAS A CONCERN BECAUSE WHO KNOWS HOW MANY VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED BY THIS. I THANK GOD THAT HER INJURIES WERE NOT THAT SERVE AS WELL AS MY COUSIN AND I, ALTHOUGH PAIN WILL HEAL THE PAIN OF LOSING A LOVE ONE WILL NEVER HEAL.

KEY FOB IS TOO SENSITIVE, ESPECIALLY ON THE TRUNK BUTTON. KEYS ARE IN MY POCKET, AND IF I BUMP UP AGAINST SOMETHING, THE TRUNK IS OPEN. WHEN YOU ARE IN PUBLIC (SAY A PUBLIC PARK FOR A FAMILY REUNION) AND NEED TO STORE LARGE VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR, WHERE DO YOU STORE THEM? IN THE TRUNK. WELL WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU BUMP SOMETHING AND YOUR TRUNK POPS? THOSE VALUABLES GET STOLEN. THE FOB SHOULD HAVE THE TRUNK BUTTON INSET INTO IT, REQUIRE TO PRESS TWO BUTTONS SIMULTANEOUSLY, OR REQUIRE YOU TO PRESS THE TRUNK BUTTON TWICE FOR THE TRUNK TO OPEN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A CHEVROLET DESIGN ERROR. THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT MY PREVIOUS CHEVY CAR (2012 CAMARO) THIS SAME THING HAPPENED. JUST SO HAPPENED THERE WASN'T ANYTHING IN MY TRUNK WITH THE CAMARO. BUT IT DID RAIN AND MY TRUNK WAS FULL OF WATER THE MORNING. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EASY FIX, AND I AM SURE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. SUCKS TO SEE MY MOM LOSE A COACH PURSE AND WALLET, PERSONAL AND BUSINESS DEBIT CARDS AND CHECKS, MEDICATION, AND CASH WHILE ON A FAMILY VACATION. *TR

FIRE IN THE TAIL LIGHT THAT ALSO GOT SOME OF MY TRUNK. THE FIRE STOPPED 1/4 INCH FORM THE GAS TANK. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON FEBRUARY 7, 2013. BEFORE DRIVING OFF OF THE DEALER LOT, WE ASKED WHY AN AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE DEALERSHIP ASSURED US IT WAS FINE AND DID NOT LOOK INTO IT. THEY LET US DRIVE THE CAR HOME. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THE LIGHT CONTINUING TO FLASH AND THE CAR NOT RECOGNIZING THAT MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND TURNING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON, WE DECIDED TO TAKE IT INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. UPON TAKING IT THERE, WE LEARNED THAT THERE HAD BEEN AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY CAR WITH THE AIRBAG POTENTIALLY BEING ABLE TO DEPLOY IF THE CAR BRAKED TOO HARD. SO WE FOUND OUT WE WERE SOLD THE CAR WITH AN ACTIVE RECALL AND IT WAS NOT FIXED BEFORE PURCHASE. AFTER THIS FIRST INCIDENT ON THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE GCM RECALLED, THE WIRING HARNESS RECALLED, BOTH WHICH COULD START A FIRE, I HAVE STEADILY LOST GAS MILEAGE AND NOW AVERAGE ONLY 26 MPG, IF I'M LUCKY, NOT THE 37-40 ADVERSTISED, THERE IS A BUZZING NOISE WHEN TRYING TO GO IN AND OUT OF ECO MODE, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP ASSURED US WAS "PROBABLY NORMAL", AND NOW THERE IS SOME KIND OF SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE VENTS AND MOISTURE ALL OVER THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT. WE HAVE ALSO RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THIS MODEL WAS DISCONTINUED AFTER ONLY ONE YEAR. IN SPITE OF THIS, CHEVY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BUT OFFER TO HELP US TRADE IT IN, AND EVEN THEN THEY WOULD NOT GIVE US WHAT THE CAR IS "WORTH". IN MY OPINION, IF CHEVY KNOWS THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG, THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO BOUGHT THE WORTHLESS CARS TO BEGIN WITH. I AM A COMPLETELY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER, YET THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE, SO THEY HAVE NOW LOST NOT JUST ME AND MY HUSBAND AS CUSTOMERS, BUT ALSO FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT HAVE HEARD OF OUR TERRIBLE AND UNSAFE EXPERIENCE. *JS

ON MAY 9, 2014, MY CAR FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED GM EMERGENCY VEHICLE ASSISTANCE TO JUMP START MY CAR AND DROVE TO THE DON MEALEY CHEVROLET IN CLERMONT FLORIDA, WHERE MY CAR HAS BEEN FOR 22 DAYS. DURING THIS TIME I HAVE QUESTIONED WHY A PART FOR RELATIVELY NEW CAR IS NOT AVAILABLE. I WAS NOT GIVEN A VALID REASON BY THE DEALERSHIP. I WENT ON LINE AND DISCOVERED THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL FOR MY CAR LAST YEAR. I WAS NEVER ADVISED ABOUT THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE BAD PART (GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE) CAN CAUSE A FIRE IN THE TRUNK OR ENGINE STALLING. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND MORE IMPORTANT HAVE NO FAITH IN MY 2013 MALIBU ECO OR IN GENERAL MOTOR OR MY DEALERSHIP. PLEASE ADVISE MY RIGHTS.

TURNED THE CAR ON HEAT CAME ON FULL BLAST FAN AND TEMP GAGE WERE BOTH IN OFF POSITION. IT DID THIS 3 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT INTO THE SHOP A WEEK LATER. THIS CAR ALARM ALSO TURNS ITSELF ON AFTER DRIVING IN THE RAIN. LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST WHEN DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSIONS DOWNSHIFT ON THIS AUTOMATIC VEHICLE IS HORRIBLE IT IS A VIOLENT JERK DOWN AND UP. MY DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO TELL ME THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FAN ISSUE THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIX. I AM BEGINNING TO HATE MY CAR. THE JERK SCARES THE CAP OUT OF ME I AM SCARED ONE DAY IT WILL JUST SLIP IT IS EVEN WORSE WHEN THE AC IS ON EVEN WHEN STOPPING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC IT DOES THIS AND SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING OVER A GRAVEL ROAD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WHEN I TURNED ON AC IT WENT FULL BLAST TO HEAT EVEN THOUGH SETTING WAS SET LOW. WENT TO DEALER SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED CHANGED OUT SOMETHING HOWEVER IT DID IT AGAIN JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. HAVE TO TURN OFF FAN LET IT REST THEN TURN IT BACK ON AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES. WORKED GREAT THEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES NOW AND DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IT'S CALLED A DEFECT! GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS. *TR

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE FAN AND THE HEATER CAME ON FULL BLAST. WITHIN SECONDS IT WAS VERY HOT IN THE CAR. THE FAN AND THE HEATER WERE TURNED OFF AT THE TIME BUT WERE LIT LIKE THEY WERE ON. IT SCARED ME. I TURNED THE FAN ON ALL THE WAY THEN TURN IT BACK,BUT THAT DID NOTHING AS WITH THE HEATER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS OKAY. I TOOK TALKED WITH MY GARAGE REPAIR (MAY 9 2014) AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T CHECK THE PROBLEM ON THE COMPUTER UNLESS THE PROBLEM WAS OCCURING AT THAT TIME. I DID NOT INFORM DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR AS I DO NOT USE THEM FOR REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE. *TR

SINCE APRIL THIS HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES. I WOULD START THE CAR AND WITH EVERYTHING TURNED OUT, THE HEATER COMES ON FULL BLAST. THE FIRST TIME, IT SCARED ME. I HAVE TO TURN THE FAN ON ALL THE WAY THEN TURN IT BACK AND TURN THE HEATER ON FULL BLAST AND BACK OFF TO GET IT TO STOP. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY.MAY 6 2014 THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. FOR BEING A NEW VEHICLE, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU ECO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V173000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED. SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL CRACKLING NOISE FROM TH TRUNK AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,578.

WHEN GETTING GAS AFTER STARTING CAR HOT AIR COMES OUT OF THE HEATER VENT'S EVEN WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF.AT TIMES DOES THIS MOST OF THE TIME WHEN GETTING FUEL' WHEN I TURN OFF ENG.ITS STOPS. *TR

TRUNK OPENS AUTOMATICALLY WHEN KEY FOB IS CARRIED IN PANTS POCKETS..I'VE TRIED SHIELDING THE FOB, BUT IT IS JUST TO SENSITIVE FOR NORMAL USE!!! I GOT DIFFERENT FOB, BUT IT STILL OPENING MY TRUNK, & I DON'T REALIZE IT, TILL I RETURN TO CAR... MY CAR IS NOT IN A GARAGE, & IN MORNINGS, THE TRUNK IS WET FROM SNOW OR RAIN.. PLUS:ANYONE COULD STEAL FROM MYTRUNK ALL NITE LONG !!!! *TR

NEW CHEVY MALIBU 2013, CONTINUALLY FAILS TO RUN NORMAL. ELECTRIC SYSTEM AS WELL, AS ANY ELECTRONIC POWERED SYSTEMS TURN OFF WHILE "MID-DRIVING" RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE WITHOUT ANY GAUGE READOUTS AND OR LIGHTS AS WELL AS EXTERIOR LIGHTING. POTENTIALLY RENDERING DRIVERS( MY FAMILY) UNSAFE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO DEALER SHIP 4 TIMES TO HAVE "PART IN BATTERY" FIXED, AFTER EACH TIME VEHICLE RUNS FOR 1 WEEK AND FAILS AGAIN AS IT DID ON THE LATEST DATE 8 AUGUST 2013. *TR

AUTO STOP WILL NOT ENGAGE UNLESS RPM'S ARE UNDER 500..SELDOM WILL "AUTO STOP" ENGAGE !!!! VEHICLE MOTOR WILL NOT GO SLOW ENOUGH TO ENGAGE THIS FEATURE..I HAVE TALKED TO SERVICE AT CHEVROLET DEALER, & THEY SAID THE PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME & THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT????? I DO, KEEP COMPLAINING!!!! *TR

OUR MALIBU WAS JUST PURCHASED WITH 9 MILES NEW ON JANUARY 31ST AND HAS THE EASIEST ECO FEATURE WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE AT STOPS. OUR VEHICLE IS NOT SHUTTING DOWN. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THERE IS NO KNOWN ISSUE, BULLETIN, OR RECALL FOR THIS. ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE HELPFUL THANK YOU. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##
