FINE...IT WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. AFTER A FEW MONTHS, ANOTHER SOUND FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY. THEY REPLACED THAT AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY. THEN ONE YEAR LATER I RETURNED DUE TO MORE NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END. THIS TIME...NO WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING BUT THEY WOULD COVER IT SINCE IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. ALSO THEY TOLD ME A TIE ROD END WAS ABOUT TO SNAP SO THEY REPLACED IT.

CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 05, 2008.CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . WE OWN A 2005 MALIBUMAX, RECENTLY THE RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULB DIED SO I REPLACED IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OWNERS MANUAL. WHEN I OPENED THE LIGHTING UNIT TO REMOVE THE BULB I FOUND THE BULB HAD MELTED THE AMBER PLASTIC ENCLOSURE THAT SURROUNDS THE BULB. I THOUGHT THIS WAS ODD HOWEVER I THOUGHT MAYBE THE BULB HAS SHORTED OUT AND BURNED SINCE THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. I THAN CHECKED THE RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL WHICH WAS FUNCTIONING, I FOUND THAT THE BULB HAD MELTED THE AMBER ENCLOSURE AS WELL. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 56340 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT64865F.

IT TURNED OUT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE. ANOTHER MECHANIC FRIEND TOLD ME I SHOULD NOT HANG ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN ENTERING OR LEAVING THE VEHICLE AS DAMAGE MAY RESULT TO THE POWER STEERING. *TR.Mileage was 98000 miles.

CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 14, 2009.CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . THE 2005 CHEVY MALIBU MAXX IS WELL KNOWN FOR HAVING POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN YOU ACCELERATE QUICKLY. IT ALSO HAS AN AUDIBLE CHIME WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF AND SHOULD BE A RECALL WARRANTY ITEM. THE POWER STEERING ALSO GOES OUT OCCASIONALLY WHEN MOVING SLOWLY. THIS VEHICLE HAS NUMEROUS ISSUES, INCLUDING STEERING, ROTORS AND STRUTS (STEERING GEAR). I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE STRUTS AND ROTORS REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. IT SEEMS UNFAIR AND UNCONSCIONABLE TO SELL A PRODUCT LINE WITH SUCH A SERIOUS DEFECT AND THEN EXPECT THE CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. WHEN A FEW DEATHS OCCUR PERHAPS GM WILL STEP UP THE PLATE AND PUT OUR BAILOUT MONEY TO GOOD USE ¿ BUY FIXING THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES THEY HAVE SOLD TO THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. I AM REPORTING A RECENT DATE, BUT THIS POWER STEERING FAILURE OCCURS QUITE OFTEN. *TR.Mileage was 30000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZU64835F. Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2005 problem was reported in CAPE CORAL, FL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 40 mph.

THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN ACCELERATING, BRAKING, AND WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH NEITHER ACCELERATION OR BRAKING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON LINE AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS WITH NO KNOWN RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. EVERY INCIDENT WHERE I SEE IT REPORTED, THE INDIVIDUAL HAS NOT HAD A FIX. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS 3 WEEKS AGO, THEN LAST NIGHT, AND AGAIN THIS MORNING. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION PEOPLE WOULD GET HURT. PERSONALLY I PLAN TO BUY A NEW CAR BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL THAT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WILL PROVIDE A FIX. *TR.Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2005 problem was reported in SUNNYVALE, CA.

FOR THE TIME THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND I WAS WORRIED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL IT.

CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2006.CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . LOOSE/CLUNKY STEERING. THE CLUNKY SOUND AND FEEL CAN BE HEARD/FELT WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED. THERE IS ALSO SOME SPACE BETWEEN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED AND WHEN THE WHEELS ACTUALLY TURN. FEELS UNSAFE TO ME. I'M VERY EASY ON THE TURNS, IT SCARES ME THAT SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK WHEN I TURN. DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE CASE I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT IT FEELS AND SOUNDS AWFUL. IT STARTED MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CARE. I PURCHASED IT APRIL 2006, BASICALLY A NEW CAR, BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE PROBLEM STARTED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FIXED IT, BUT IT STARTED UP AGAIN AFTER A FEW MONTHS. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY WERE INSTALLING A NEW IMPROVED STEERING GEAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT LASTED A LITTLE LONGER THIS TIME, BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL REPAIR. THE WARRANTY IS OVER SO I'M NOT TAKING IT IN AGAIN. IT ISN'T WORTH THE EXPENSE - A TEMPORARY FIX IS NOT THE SOLUTION. THIS WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST CHEVY. IT'S DISAPPOINTING. MY CARS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT LEAST 6 YEARS OLD WHEN PURCHASED. THIS WAS MY NEWEST CAR PURCHASED. IT WAS EXCITING, BUT THEN ENDED UP BEING SO DISAPPOINTING. MY NEXT NEWER CAR PURCHASE WILL BE NISSAN. I MISS MY OLD NISSAN. *TR.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT62825F. Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2005 problem was reported in BENSENVILLE, IL.

I TOLD THEM I HAD BEEN IN 2 TIMES TO A DEALERSHIP AND THAT WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. THE NEXT THING SAID REALLY SURPRISED ME. APPARENTLY THERE IS A "SUPER SECRET WARRANTY" FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS WARRANTY UNTIL IT HAD EXPIRED ON MY CAR. CHEVROLET HANDLED THIS IN TRUE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT FASHION. IF I WANT TO TAKE IT IN AND PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR THEY WOULD POSSIBLY REFUND ME THE COST OF THE REPAIR ONLY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IF I HAD THE FUNDS AVAIL TO GET THE WORK DONE I WOULD HAVE EITHER DONE IT ALREADY OR SWITCHED TO A FORD.

THE LIGHT BULBS NUMBER 3057 IN 2 OF MY CARS HAVE MELTED THE BASE AND DAMAGED THE LIGHT SOCKETS. AS A RESULT THE LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE PROPERLY. ONE VEHICLE IS A 2006 DODGE RAM 3500. THE BULB IS USED IN THE BRAKE LIGHT. WHEN IT FAILS YOU GET THE RUNNING LIGHTS BUT NOT THE BRAKE LIGHT. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT LIGHTING. THIS HAS A SERIOUS RISK OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THE SECOND VEHICLE IS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAX. BULB 3057 IS USED IN THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS WHICH DOUBLE AS THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. ON THIS VEHICLE NOT ONLY DOES THE BASE OF THE BULB MELT BREAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONTACT THE PLASTIC LENS OF THE LIGHT IS MELTING. ONCE FAILURE OCCURS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT GET THE EXTRA FAST TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR. ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE THE BULB HAD TO BE REPLACED 4 TIMES IN SIX MONTHS.

CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005 Safety Review #10350230

CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTHS NOW, POSSIBLY A YEAR. HARD TO DETERMINE AS IT WAS VERY INCONSISTENT AT FIRST. OCCURS MORE OFTEN NOW. WHEN ACCELERATING, GENERALLY OVER 3000 RPM'S (THINK PASSING ON FREEWAY OR LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC) THE STEERING WILL FREEZE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THERE IS ALSO A TRIPLE BELL SOUND AND THE MESSAGE CENTER WILL DISPLAY "POWER STEERING". IN 12/2007 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM SAYING THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST" IF WITHIN 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES. I DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM PLUS I WAS OVER MILES STATED. THIS WEEK I RECEIVED A SIMILAR LETTER SAYING THE SAME, THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE STEERING IF UNDER 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. AGAIN I AM OVER MILES(BY 7000 MILES). I CALLED TO CONFIRM AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR POLICY WAS VERY STRICT AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HELP ME. OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW OF THE ISSUE AND ARE JUST TRYING TO PAY AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE IN REPAIR/REPLACEMENT COSTS. *TR.Mileage was 96000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZU64805F. Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2005 problem was reported in PONTIAC, MI. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 55 mph.

CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 07, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH, THE POWER STEERING ON OUR CAR STOPPED WORKING MAKING STEERING VERY DIFFICULT. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND HE HAD TROUBLE STEERING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT, AND THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. WITHIN A 2 MILE SPAN, THIS OCCURRED TWICE. I ASKED MY KIDS AND HUSBAND HOW OFTEN THIS HAPPENS, AND IT'S EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. IF MY HUSBAND HAD TROUBLE STEERING WHEN THE POWER STEERING STOPS, IT MUST BE EVEN WORSE FOR MY 2 GIRLS. IF THIS OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE COULD EASILY BE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I LOOKED ONLINE AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR IT BUT IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I READ THAT MAZDA3 AND MAZDA 5 CARS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR POWER STEERING FAILURE. WHY HAVEN'T CHEVY MALIBUS BEEN RECALLED? PLEASE HELP. *TR.Mileage was 95000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT62835F. Chevrolet Malibu Maxx 2005 problem was reported in DANBURY, CT. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

SAFETY ISSUE WITH 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. BECAUSE OF A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH STEERING AND SUSPENSION, I HAVE HAD FOUR CERTIFIED MECHANICS INSPECT THE CAR. THREE FOUND THAT THE STEERING RACK IS DEFECTIVE; ONE FOUND THAT THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT IS DEFECTIVE. NEITHER SHOULD BE DEFECTIVE ON A CAR WITH 57K MILES. THE ONLY WAY THAT THE STEERING RACK COULD BE DEFECTIVE IS IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAT TREATMENT DURING MANUFACTURE; THIS WOULD IMPLY THAT THE ENTIRE BATCH IS DEFECTIVE. SIMILARLY, THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT IS A THICK PIECE OF SHEET METAL THAT SHOULD NOT BE DEFECTIVE WITH LOW MILEAGE. THE PROBLEM(S) HAS BEEN REPORTED TO GENERAL MOTORS, WHO HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO REPEATED CONTACTS. BECAUSE THE MECHANICS DO NOT AGREE, I WILL HAVE THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT REPLACED TO SEE IF THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. IF NOT, THEN I WILL REPLACE THE STEERING RACK. *TR.Mileage was 57000 miles.

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. WE HAD EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT 87017 MILES. DEALER REPLACED POWER STEERING COLUMN UNDER POLICY 10183. CAR HAS AGAIN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM NOW AT 101754 MILES. POLICY 10183 STATES THAT GM WILL PAY FOR REPAIRS BUT ONLY UP TO 100,000 MILES. I'M 1754 MILES OVER THIS. HOWEVER IT WAS REPAIRED BEFORE ONLY 14,737 MILES AGO. IS GM REPAIRING THIS DEFECT WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS? IF SO THIS ENDANGERS EVERYONE AND IS UNETHICAL. THIS CAR HAS HAD NUMEROUS FRONT END ISSUES INCLUDING REPLACING THE STEERING RACK SEVERAL TIMES (CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING - NOW ALSO BACK AGAIN), WHEEL HUB AND BEARING ISSUES AND STEERING COLUMN REPLACED AT 50425 MILES FOR A FAILED TORQUE SENSOR. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE. GM SHOULD BE RE-ENGINEERING THESE COMPONENTS AND REPLACING THE FAILED ONES WITH NEW DESIGN. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR ALL IMPACTED MODELS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH CAN BE VERY SUDDEN AND DRAMATIC. GM CLAIMS IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, SOMEONE UNPREPARED OR WITHOUT UPPER BODY STRENGTH CAN GET INTO SERIOUS TROUBLE VERY QUICKLY. WHO WILL MAKE THE DECISION TO DO THE RIGHT THING WITH THIS PROBLEM? APPARENTLY THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED WITH OTHER GM PRODUCTS AS WELL. *TR.Mileage was 101754 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZU64825F.

CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 29, 2011.CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . I HAVE A 2005 MALIBU MAXX. APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 WEEKS AGO, I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE -VERY, VERY SLOWLY, THERE WERE A SERIES OF RED POLE ABOUT 3 FEET HIGH, I SAW THEM. I WAS TURNING RIGHT AND MY CAR JERKED TO THE LEFT ACCELERATED AND I HIT A POLE DAMAGING MY FRONT END. CAR WAS TOWED AND REPAIRED BY STATE FARM INSURANCE FOR ABOUT $2500.00. I GOT MY CAR BACK AND DROVE IT FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, I WAS AGAIN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE ONLY I WAS COMPLETELY IN AND PARKED, I WAS BRAKING AND SHUTTING OFF MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE BRAKE WENT COMPLETELY LOOSE, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SPIN AND THE CAR SURGED, IT SURGED AND FLEW OVER THE CURB ABOUT 6 FEET INTO AN ICE MACHINE AT A SPEEDWAY GAS STATION ON 15 MILE AND DODGE PARK IN STERLING HEIGHTS. THIS WAS ABOUT 8:15 - 8:30 A..M. . THAT CAR SURGED AND FLEW AT ABOUT 60 MPH MY FOOT NEVER LEFT THE BRAKE. THIS CAR WAS TOWED TO BUFF WHELAN CHEVROLET ON 18 AND VAN DYKE IN STERLING HEIGHTS MICHIGAN AND THEY ARE FIXING THE BUMPER. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO GENERAL MOTORS, TO THE PRESIDENT OF BUFF WHELAN AND TO KEITH ARMSTRONG IN THE UK WHO WROTE AN ARTICLE ABOUT CARS THAT SURGE IN 2010 FOR THE USA TODAY. I RECEIVED AFTER CONTACTING THE STERLING HEIGHTS POLICE A TICKET FOR RECKLESS DRIVING, WHICH I HAVE REQUESTED A HEARING OVER. I AM GOING TO BE PICKING UP MY CAR ON TUESDAY 8/9/2011 "FIXED" BUT I WILL HAVE IT TOWED SOMEWHERE, PROBABLY HOME. IT WILL NOT BE DRIVEN, THIS CAR SCARED ME TO DEATH. YOU WOULD HAVE TO EXPERIENCE A "SURGE" TO BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND WHAT COULD HAPPEN DURING ONE. THIS CAR MUST NEVER BE DRIVEN, I DON'T THINK GM KNOWS WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS, THEY HAVEN'T RESPONDED. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. Mileage was 72000 miles.

IT'S BEEN SLOWLY STARTING TO TILT BACK AND TO THE RIGHT AND FINALLY SNAPPED. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS IT IS VERY COMMON WITH THE CHEVY MALIBU AND ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS A BROKEN DRIVERS SEAT WILL NOT WORK AS INTENDED IN A CRASH. THE SEAT TILTS TO THE RIGHT NOW AND BOUNCES WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, SO BEING A SAFETY CONCERN IT'S ALSO VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

MANY CHEVY MALIBU OWNERS FOUND THAT THE ALARM OR ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM HAD THE FUEL SYSTEM LOCKED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND AT THE MOST INCONVENIENT TIMES.
