CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 14, 2008.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . I LEASED A NEW 2008 CHEVY MALIBU THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. GREAT CAR, LOVED IT. THEN ON JAN 14TH WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (IN THE FAST LANE) MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON A COUPLE OF TIMES. CONCERNED I DECIDED MAYBE I SHOULD PULL OFF THE ROAD. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN OFF RAMP CLOSE. AS I PROCEEDED TO THE OFF RAMP I REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SHUT DOWN SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING BUT COAST AS FAR OUT OF THE WAY AS POSSIBLE AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SINCE THAT DAY I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A RENTAL CAR, STILL MAKING MY CAR PAYMENT, AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I WILL BE GETTING MY REPLACEMENT CAR. THE DEALERSHIP/GM ARE GOING COMPLETELY THROUGH THE CAR THAT BLEW UP AND HAVE AGREED THEY WILL GET ME A NEW CAR, THAT IS MY ONLY OPTION SINCE THEY WON'T REFUND MY MONEY. THE BAD THING IS I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL GET MY REPLACEMENT. I AM STILL MAKING CAR PAYMENTS FOR A NEW CAR THAT I DO NOT HAVE. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN CHEVY AND PROBABLY WON'T BUY ANOTHER ONE FOR A LONG TIME. ONCE THIS LEASE IT UP I AM DONE. WE HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL CARS FROM THIS DEALERSHIP, COURTESY. THIS INCIDENT HAS SHOWN ME HOW TERRIBLE THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS. THEY NEVER CALL ME, I HAVE TO CALL THEM TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. THEY HAVEN'T OFFERED TO REIMBURSE MY CAR PAYMENTS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1100 miles. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 problem was reported in ATWATER, CA. Original Owner.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 16, 2008.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . DRIVING ON DIVIDED HIGHWAY, SUDDENLY THE WARNING LIGHT FOR EMERGENCY STABILITY CONTROL/TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON. DRIVER'S INFORMATION CENTER THEN INDICATED THAT BOTH NEEDED SERVICING, THEN ADVISED "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". MANAGED TO "LIMP" HOME DRIVING THE CAR. WHILE DRIVING TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, SAME THING HAPPENED (BUT NOT ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY). DEALER FIXED IT, CLAIMING "TRACED PROBLEM TO WIRING HARNESS, CHAFFED AND RUBBING ON TRANSMISSION BOLT - REPAIRED HARNESS & REROUTED HARNESS." CAR HAD LESS THAN 900 MILES ON IT. MAYBE OUR CAR WAS UNUSUAL, BUT I'M THINKING IF WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS RUBBING AGAINST A TRANSMISSION BOLT, SO BADLY THAT IT STARTED SHORTING OUT IN LESS THAN 900 MILES, THERE ARE PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF OTHER 2008 MALIBUS AT RISK OF THE SAME THING. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 876 miles.

ON 7/22/08, CAR WON'T START, FIND OUT IT IS THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (HAS TO DO WITH ANTI-THEFT, ETC.), AS OF TODAY'S DATE, AUGUST 13, IT STILL SITS IN THE SHOP AWAITING THE PART FROM CHEVY, WHO SAYS THEY WILL NOT HAVE A PART AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPT./OCT. BECAUSE ALL THE PARTS NOW ARE BEING PUT INTO THEIR NEW CARS. I HAVE ABOUT 1400 MILES ON IT, AND IT IS INOPERABLE.

I HAVE CALLED CHEVY'S SO-CALLED CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE, AND THE GIRL THAT'S ASSIGNED TO MY CASE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT CALL THE LOCAL DEALER, WHICH I CAN DO, AND CALL THE PARTS DEPARTMENT, WHO GIVE HER INFORMATION CONTRARY TO WHAT THEY'RE GIVING THE LOCAL DEALER.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 17, 2009.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, ALL 3 BRAKE LIGHTS TURN ON AND REMAIN ON. THE LIGHTS REMAIN ON UNTIL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. AT THAT POINT THE LIGHTS TURN OFF. IF YOU PRESS THE PEDAL AGAIN, THEY WILL COME BACK ON, BUT ONLY IF YOU SLAM YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE LIGHTS CYCLE ON EVERY 5 SECONDS, PROVIDING YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKE TO TURN THEM OFF.

I DRIVE A 2008 MALIBU. 95% OF MY DRIVING IS DONE ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE 55K MILES ON THE CAR AND THE STEERING STARTED TO SHAKE AND GET STIFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I LIVE IN OHIO AND THE WINTERS GET COLD. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE CAUSE OF IT BUT, AFTER READING SOME BLOGS ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE. I WENT TO MY CAR DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF MY MILEAGE. I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE THE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF A CAR AND I AM AFRAID THAT IF I DON'T GET THIS FIXED I WILL BE INJURED FROM FAILURE TO CONTROL MY CAR. SOMETIMES I WILL DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP TO WHERE I HAVE TO PULL ON IT HARD TO FREE IT UP. THE ONLY COARSE OF ACTION THAT I SEE THAT I CAN TAKE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE IS PAY GM TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT A RESULT OF ABUSE OR NATURAL WEAR AND TEAR SINCE THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL. IF WHO EVER READS THIS WOULD SIMPLY JUST GOOGLE THIS TOPIC YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS BECOMING A GROWING PROBLEM THAT WILL RESULT IN INJURIES IF GM DOES NOT RECALL IT. *TR.Mileage was 55000 miles.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Apr 27, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . I AM AT ABOUT 45K MILES ON MY 2008 CHEVROLET MALIBU. MY CONSOLE WARNING OF "POWER STEERING" CAME ON AND WITH IT MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN I START THE CAR. I DON'T DRIVE OR PUT IT IN GEAR IT JUST SHAKES! AFTER BEING TOLD I DO NOT HAVE POWER STEERING FLUID A GM SERVICE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT SOUNDS LIKE MY "ELECTRONIC MOTOR FOR POWER STEERING" SOUNDS LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COBALT WAS JUST RECALLED FOR SUCH A PROBLEM. I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE MALIBU AND WAS TOLD .....AT MY EXPENSE, I NEED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED, THEN CALL THEM BACK WITH THE REF# THEY GAVE ME, AND THEN THEY WILL PUT IT IN THEIR RECORDS!!!! CALLING AND REQUESTING THAT A RECALL BE PUT IN PLACE WAS BASICALLY IGNORED. I HAVE EXPLAINED THAT IF THEY WERE TO INVESTIGATE JUST THE BLOGS ABOUT THE MALIBU THEY WOULD SEE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BUT ARE TOLD TO FIX IT THEMSELVES. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS ON SO MANY LEVELS. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MOST OF THE TIME,BUT I AM RECORDING EVERY ONE OF MY COMPLAINTS, BECAUSE GOD FORBID I GET HURT, OR WORSE YET, ONE OF MY CHILDREN, THEN MY LAWYER IS READY TO RIP GM APART! I LOST MY JOB ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND FOR A COMPANY WHO JUST GOT BAILED OUT WITH MY TAX MONEY, THEY SHOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE SMACKING THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH SUCH ARROGANCE AND STUPIDITY. *TR.Mileage was 43000 miles.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 18, 2009.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . I HAVE A 2008 CHEVY MALIBU LT. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO JERK LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD ALSO JERK WHILE BEING STOPPED AND WHILE IN PARK.THERE IS ALSO A POPPING SOUND OR A CLUNKING SOUND LIKE A BAD UNIVERSAL WHILE TURNING AND/OR BACKING UP. I NOTICED THIS ABOUT JANUARY OF '09. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ON THE FRONT,BUT THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. ON 5/12/10 THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT STRUT AND MOUNT AND THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE JERKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL COMES AND GOES,IT WILL RUN FINE FOR A WHILE THEY ITWILL START UP FOR A WHILE. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. ON 5/30/10 AND 5/31/10 THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE INFORMATION CENTER. I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND THERE IS NOT. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE LOOKING INTO IT. I WENT TO THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEB STE AND SEEN THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE '05 MALIBUS (PS CONTROL MODULE).THERE WERE AT LEAST 7 COMPLAINTS FOR THE '08'S ON THIS SITE THAT I NOTICED. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS NOT WORKING PROPERLY,THEY WOULD NOT UNLOCK WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT INTO PARK NOR WOULD THE REMOTE WORK ON THEM. WHEN THE LEFT REAR DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE WAS USED TO OPEN THE DOOR THE DOOR WOULD LOCK. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING IS ELECTRIC IN THIS CAR. *TR.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZH57B78F. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 problem was reported in SAEGERTOWN, PA.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . 2008 CHEVROLET MALIBU POWER STEERING ISSUES. ISSUES BEGAN OCCURRING AT APPROXIMATELY 32,000 MILES. PROBLEM WILL APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR AT ANY SPEED, INCLUDING WHILE STOPPED, WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE STOPPED, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL RAPIDLY OSCILLATE LEFT AND RIGHT ON ITS OWN APPROXIMATELY 20 DEGREES. THE BEST ANALOGY IS THAT IT IS "SHIVERING OR SHAKING" UNCONTROLLABLY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SUDDENLY GO FROM A SMOOTH RANGE OF MOTION TO A RANGE OF MOTION WITH ONLY A FEW VERY DISTINCT AND SEGMENTED DIRECTIONS. TYPICALLY THE TWO CHOICES ARE LEFT OF CENTER OR RIGHT OF CENTER WITH NO SMOOTH MOTION IN-BETWEEN. THESE ISSUES CAN LAST ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 10 SECONDS TO 30 MINUTES. IF THE PROBLEM DOES NOT CORRECT ON ITS OWN, IT CAN BE CORRECTED BY TURNING OFF THE CAR AND THEN RESTARTING THE CAR. CAR NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING ISSUES DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AND LASTING FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. *TR.Mileage was 32000 miles.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 Safety Review #10360810

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 08, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . I OWN A 2008 MALIBU LT2. SHORTLY AFTER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANT RAN OUT THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE OR BY THE UNLOCK BUTTON. IT HAS TO BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED. ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME $80 DOLLARS TO TELL ME IT WOULD COST $400 TO REPLACE BOTH ACTUATORS ON THE LOCKS. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE DOOR LOCKS ON 2008 MALIBU'S. WHEN IT BECOMES A NORMAL OCCURRENCE THAT PARTS ON A CAR ARE GOING BAD IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THEM. IN READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE MALIBU I SEE A LOT ON THE STEERING SHAKING AND JERKING. THIS IS REALLY SCARY AS I DRIVE OVER 400 MILES TO SEE MY SON AT COLLEGE. TO THINK THIS MIGHT HAPPEN WHEN I WOULD BE DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF VIRGINIA IS REALLY SCARY. CHEVY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND PUT OUT RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR.Mileage was 37000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZJ57B184. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 problem was reported in UTICA, OH. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 4 CYLINDERS.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 12, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . THE POWER STEERING MOTOR ON OUR 2008 CHEVROLET MALIBU HAS GONE OUT WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO PULL RIGHT TO LEFT VIOLENTLY WHILE THE WHEEL IS TRYING TO CENTER ITSELF. THIS REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO FIGHT THE WHEEL AT TIMES TO KEEP IT CENTERED ON THE ROAD. THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM FAILURE IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS FOR ANY DRIVER. GIVEN GM'S HISTORY WITH OTHER VEHICLE RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, THE CHEVY MALIBU SHOULD BE INCLUDED. *TR.Mileage was 45000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZH57B18F. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 problem was reported in TAMA, IA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 4 CYLINDERS. VEHICLE SPEED: 65 mph.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2011.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with STEERING . STEERING WHEEL WILL "WOBBLE" LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE CAR IS STOPPED, IN PARKED POSITION, AT IDOL. EVENT OCCURS DAILY AND A NOISE WILL ACCOMPANY THE MOTION AT TIMES. "WOBBLE" MOTION SEEMS TO INCREASE WITH SLIGHT REV OF ENGINE. *TR WHILE DRIVING AT ANY GIVEN SPEED AND ON ANY ROAD SURFACES THE STEERING WILL JERK FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY SWIRVE FROM SIDE TO SIDE. FEELS LIKE ALL CONTROL COULD BE LOST AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. I HAVE A 60 MILE COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK AND IT IS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING AS IT OCCURS WHILE OTHER VEHICLES ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO MINE. I AM SURPRISED THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN CITED FOR CARELESS AND IMPRUDENT DRIVING BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OR ULTIMATELY KILLED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I FIRST MENTIONED THE EVENT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHILE THERE FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. EVENT DID NOT OCCUR UPON MECHANIC TEST DRIVE, HOWEVER, THEIR ANSWER WAS AN UNSCHEDULED TIRE ROTATION THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR AND THE EVENT OCCURRED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. THE PROBLEM WAS MENTIONED FOR THE SECOND TIME WITH THE NEXT SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WHICH INCLUDED ANOTHER TIRE ROTATION. THE MECHANIC DID WITNESS THE FAULTY STEERING AT THIS TIME AND EVIDENTLY SOME TORQUE SOMETHING OR OTHER WAS RECALIBRATED AND THE STEERING ANGLE WAS READJUSTED. UPON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE STEERING WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT CORRECTED. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THAT TIME. THE TECHNICIAN AND I WENT ON A 20 MILE DRIVE AND UNFORTUNATELY IT ENDED WITHOUT ANY OCCURANCES. THE MECHANIC MADE A COMMENT THAT IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER CHEVROLET AUTOMOBILES AND HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE MALIBU WAS NOT INCLUDED. I CURRENTLY HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO LEAVE MY CAR WITH THEM SO THAT THEY MAY RANDOMLY DRIVE IT, "IN HOPES" TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT WANT TO GET AS MANY BILLABLE HOURS OF LABOR OUT OF ME IN THE MEANTIME. NOT HAPPY!.Mileage was 50000 miles.

BACK IN APRIL I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY DRIVER SIDE LOCK. IT WOULD GET STUCK. SOMETIMES THE DOOR WOULDN'T EVEN OPEN. I WOULD PRESS THE BUTTON TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, AND THAT WOULDN'T WORK. I WOULD HAVE TO USE MY KEY, ANS SOMETIMES THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCK, AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYDAY I HAVE TO USE MY KEY TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I WAS TOLD TO USE WD-40 AND THAT SILL DIDN'T HELP. THE MOST RECENT EVENT WITH MY CAR IS THIS LOUD VIBRATING NOISE THAT HAS BEEN OCCURING OFF AND ON FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS. I'V HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE CHECK IT OUT AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MY CAR MAKES THE NOISE WHILE SITTING IN PARK, SOMETIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING, OR SITTING STILL AT A LIGHT. ABOUT A 1-1 1/2 MONTHS AGO MY WHEEL WOU;D MOVE BACK AND FORTH. I WENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG. MY WHEEL MOVES MORE AND MORE.

WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL BACK IN A NEUTRAL POSITION SOMETIMES IT WOULD TURN THE OTHER WAY. TODAY MY WHEEL WAS MOVING WHILE I WAS DRIVNG AND MY CAR STARTED MOVING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL AND IT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M SO FED UP WITH THIS CAR, AND I TOTALLY REGRET BUYING IT.

MY 2008 MALIBU HAS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM. ON A DAILY BASIS THE POWER STEERING BECOMES ERRATIC AND FAILS TO REACT PROPERLY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHILE STOPPED, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL TURN LEFT AND RIGHT ON ITS OWN. WHEN THIS OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED CONTROL OF THE CAR IS DANGEROUS. TWO HANDS ARE NEEDED TO KEEP CAR IN LANE AND NOT CROSS THE LINE INTO OTHER VEHICLES. PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN MILEAGE HIT 45,000 MILES. OCCASIONALLY, A CHIME WILL OCCUR AND INDICATE POWER STEERING IN THE DISPLAY BUT BY THE TIME THE CHIME OCCURS THE STEERING PROBLEM IS GONE. THIS ISSUE IS CONSISTENT AND INTERMITTENT ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM FOR CHEVY MALIBU AND HAVE FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF MALIBU OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM CAUSED BY IMPROPER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THIS STEERING PROBLEM IS A FAILURE OF A COMPONENT IN THE STEERING ASSEMBLY THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART!!! AS A PERCENTAGE OF MALIBUS ON THE ROAD THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM I WOULD VENTURE THAT IT IS VERY HIGH AND THE NUMBER IS INCREASING. THE ELECTRONIC ASSIST POWER STEERING IN THE I4 MALIBU'S IS A ROAD HANDLING NIGHTMARE AND GM HAS NO INTEREST IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM.

I'M REQUESTING SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION AND I WILL LIKE THE POWER LOCKS TO BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. REMEMBER MY CAR ONLY HAS 30,700 MILES AND WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WAS ADVISED BY THE SALESMAN [XXX] THAT I HAD WARRANTY FOR 100,000 MILES OR 5 YEARS BUMPER TO BUMPER. I WILL LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS. THANK GOD I DIDN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. I PURCHASED IN THE PAST A 2 CHEVY IMPALAS AND NOW A CHEVY MALIBU AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHEVY AGAIN. AGAIN, THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS HANDLE WRONG BY SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE [XXX] .

AFTER CHECKING ONLINE I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM MALIBU OWNERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM AT 40,000 - 50,000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY IS OVER. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM AS IT SHOWS A DEFECT IN THE ACTUATER IN DOORS GO BAD, AS WELL AS A NEGLIGENT SAFETY HAZARD KNOWING MANY CARS HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATING WITHOUT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDALS. WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELVES, TRYING TO USE THE BRAKES WHEN NEEDED (IE SLOWING DOWN, STOPPING) SHUTS THE BRAKE LIGHTS OFF, WHICH COULD CAUSE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE PERSONS IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS PERSONS IN OTHER VEHICLES AROUND MY VEHICLE.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 20, 2011.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES FROM EMPTY TO FULL MOSTLY REMAINS IN THE EMPTY POSITION EXCEPT AFTER A TURN OR A START/STOP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE ANOTHER 2008 CHEVY MALIBU (THAT MY SON DRIVES), VIN # [XXX] WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MILEAGE AT FAILURE FOR THAT VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 40000 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THAT THESE VIN #S ARE NOT ON THE LIST ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA # 10030685. I CONTEND THAT THERE IS A MATERIAL AND/OR DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE FUEL SENSOR ON THESE VEHICLES AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN INITIATED BY GENERAL MOTORS. FURTHERMORE, THIS FAILURE CAN REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES. I BELIEVE OWNING TWO OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM REPRESENTS A MORE THAN RANDOM OCCURRENCE. I THEREFORE REQUEST THE NHTSA TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR.Mileage was 72000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZS58F78F.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR, THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2008 MALIBU BEGAN TO SHAKE OR VIBRATE WHILE BUILDING SPEED. A POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER PULLING OVER, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON WHICH SEEMED TO RESET THE WARNING LIGHT. I KNEW ABOUT PULLING OVER TO RESET THE CAR DUE TO AN ?AIRBAG WARNING? LIGHT THAT HAS RANDOMLY COME ON EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR. UPON RESUMING DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. IT TOOK PULLING OVER AND RESETTING IT FOUR TIMES TO GET TWENTY MILES DOWN THE ROAD. IT CAME ON AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. UPON HEADING HOME, THE STEERING WHEEL IN MY CAR MOVED WHILE SITTING STILL WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE WAS TURNING THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH AND UP AND DOWN, BUT I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE WHEEL. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE SITTING STILL, SO I SHUT THE CAR OFF TO RESET IT. IT TOOK THREE TRIES OF STARTING AND STARTING THE ENGINE TO RESET THE WARNING LIGHT. I DROVE HOME ON A CURVY COUNTY ROAD. THE SAME POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FIVE TIME IN LESS THAN TWENTY MILES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS - NO CERTAIN SPEED SEEMED TO PROMPT IT.SOMETIMES I WAS GOING 20 MPH AND SOMETIMES I WAS GOING 55 OR 65 MPH WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILED. I HAD TO STOP IN THE ROADWAY TO RESET THE CAR. EACH TIME, THE STEERING BECAME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AND MANEUVERING THE CORNERS WAS NOT SAFELY POSSIBLE AND SINCE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER, I HAD TO STOP IN THE ROADWAY TO TRY TO RESET THE STEERING. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE SITTING IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. *TR.Mileage was 110000 miles.

APPROX. ONE YEAR AFTER THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK INCIDENT, BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCKS FAILED. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE I WAS 200 MILES OVER MY WARRANTY.

I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET MALIBU 2LT WITH 111,000 KM ON IT. I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A FEW THINGS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS FROM BRAND NEW. OVERALL MY CAR HAS BEEN OK WITH GETTING ME FROM PLACE A TO PLACE B. THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD THAT ARE PRETTY SERIOUS FLAWS ARE THE POWER STEERING COLUMN, THE ALIGNMENT, THE AUTOMATIC POWER TRANSMISSION, AND THE DOOR LOCKS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET BY HOWEVER RECENTLY I HAD TO GET THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED UNDER A SPECIAL WARRANTY POLICY. I HAD TO "KICK AND SCREAM" HOWEVER IN THE END THE PART WAS INSTALLED. THAT WOULD HAVE COST ME ABOUT 900 DOLLARS IF IT WAS NOT COVERED. NOW I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" INDICATOR. THIS CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY AND WHEN I CALLED TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS AFTER LOOKING ON-LINE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CARE AS MINE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NOW I AM GETTING NERVOUS SINCE I JUST PAID 13,000 TO BUY OUT MY LEASE. I HAVE CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL WORK WITH ME AND THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS FIXED. BEFORE I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP I WANT TO HAVE ALL MY DOCUMENTATION THAT INDICATES THAT THIS IS A SPECIAL POLICY ISSUE AND NOT SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR OUT OF MY OWN WALLET. I HAVE PUT ABOUT 38,000 INTO THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR AND DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE ROOM TO DUMP TONS OF MONEY TO GETTING THIS FIXED ESPECIALLY WHEN OTHER GM CUSTOMERS HAVE PAID OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET TO REALIZE A FEW WEEKS LATER THAT THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE ON THE TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDS FIXING. I AM GOING TO DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO HAVE THIS COVERED BY GM. I HAVE BEEN A PROUD GM OWNER ALL MY DRIVING LIFE AND WANT TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. I DREAD NEEDING TO FIX THE CAR AND SELLING IT.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING, SPEED DOESN'T CHANGE OUTCOME, DOOR LOCKS WILL CONTINUE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES AND CAR ALARM WILL GO OFF AND WILL SET ITSELF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING TO THE ME, THE DRIVER AND TO THE DRIVERS AROUND MY CAR. THUS POTENTIALLY CAUSING A CRASH. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE UNTIL YOU PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN THEY GO OFF. THIS IS DEFINITELY BACKWARD! THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK, SOMETIMES. HOWEVER, YOU WILL HAVE TO GUESS WHICH ONES WILL UNLOCK. USUALLY, THE ONES THAT UNLOCK ARE THE FRONT-RIGHT PASSENGER AND BACK-LEFT PASSENGER. THE REASON THE UNLOCK IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T LOCK! NO ONE CAN "DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM". THE DRIVER DOOR AND RIGHT-BACK DOOR SOMETIMES ARE UNABLE TO BE OPENED. THIS REQUIRING ME TO FIND A DOOR THAT CAN BE OPENED OR THAT DID UNLOCK AND CLIMB THROUGH TO THE DRIVERS SEAT. ALL OF THIS WHILE MAKING SURE MY AUTISTIC SON AND DAUGHTER REMAIN SAFE IN A PARKING LOT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, AS I PARK IN A PARKING GARAGE SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS. UNFORTUNATELY, NEITHER KEY LESS REMOTES WORK EITHER! MOST RECENTLY THE SHIFTER CABLE HAS BROKEN. THE CARE WOULDN'T BUDGE. CHEVY WAS NOTIFIED, WE WERE TOLD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST CHEVY DEALER. JUST TO BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, WE TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM, AND THEY DECIDED NOT TO COVER IT UNDER THE POWER TRAIN LIKE WE WERE TOLD WOULD HAPPEN. THEN TWO WEEKS AGO, THE SHIFTER CABLE BROKE AGAIN! THIS SEEMS VERY ODD. THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE HAD THIS CAR WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS OR LIKE ITS HAVING A HARD TIME SHIFTING. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED FROM THE BEGINNING WITH NO HELP. SO, THIS IS MY LAST REACH OUT FOR HELP. AS I HEAR ABOUT ALL THE CARJACKINGS, CARS GETTING STOLEN AND ROBBED, I JUST THINK MY CAR IS AN OPEN INVITATION! PLEASE HELP. CHEVY WOULDN'T HELP US EVEN UNDER WARRANTY. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 26000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZH57B184.

BOTH BACK DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING. THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK WITHOUT MANUALLY DOING SO. THIS MAKES IT VERY HARD TO QUICKLY GET MY TODDLER SON OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN FIRST TO UNLOCK IT. CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ON AND OFF DUE TO THE BREAK LIGHTS FLASHING OFF AND ON EVEN WHEN I'M NOT PUSHING THE BREAK PEDAL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY AND MY BREAK LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS ALSO OCCURS MORE OFTEN WHEN IT HAS RAINED AND THE CAR IS WET. I ASSUME THIS IS DUE TO A LEAK OF WATER GETTING INTO THE ELECTRICAL... MY TRUNK LEAKS WHEN IT IS SHUT. WHEN IT RAINS HEAVY I NOTICE THE BEDDING BECOMES VERY WET ON ONE SIDE. THE RADIO IS ALSO EFFECTED ALONG WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. CERTAIN BUTTONS STOP WORKING FOR PERIODS OF TIME.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 21, 2012.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . GM IS RECALLING 40000 CARS FOR A FUEL LEAK FROM THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ON THE TOP OF THE TANK. I ORIGINALLY HEARD THAT THIS WAS FOR CARS IN THE SOUTHWEST REGION OF THE COUNTRY. MY DAUGHTER LIVES IN PHOENIX, DRIVES A 2005 PONTIAC G6, AND HAD A FUEL LEAK COMING FROM A PLASTIC FITTING ATTACHED TO THE FUEL PRESSURE RETURN LINE. THE FUEL WAS RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP OF THE TANK ACROSS THE PROTECTIVE SHIELD AND ONTO THE MUFFLER IN SMALL AMOUNTS. FORTUNATELY WE REPLACED THE PUMP/INDICATOR SENDING UNIT BEFORE A FIRE TOOK PLACE. I LIVE IN TUCSON AND DRIVE A 2008 CHEVY MALIBU LT. A FEW WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS AT THE REAR OF THE CAR AFTER IT WAS PARKED. NO EVIDENCE OF A LEAK LIKE MY DAUGHTER"S CAR, BUT A STRONG SMELL. I JACKED THE CAR AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH FOR A LEAK, BUT FOUND NONE. THE SMELL OF FUEL WAS STRONGER IN THE AREA OF THE WIRING HARNESS AND FUEL LINES GOING TO THE TOP OF THE TANK. DO YOU KNOW OF A RECALL FOR MY MODEL OF CAR? IT SEEMS LIKE A TREND WITH THIS PARTICULAR DESIGN OF FUEL SYSTEM. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 52000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZJ57BX8F.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2012.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK FAILED TO OPEN WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN PARK. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR WAS TO PULL UP ON LOCK KNOB WHICH WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO LIMITED MOBILITY (ARTHRITIS IN SHOULDER). NEEDED TO REMOVE SEAT BELT, SLIDE OVER AND SIT ON CONSOLE TO REACH LOCK KNOB. AUTOMATIC LOCKS STILL ENGAGE WHEN CAR IS PUT IN DRIVE BUT WILL NOT OPEN WHEN PUT BACK IN PARK. I CAN NOT EASILY OR QUICKLY EXIT THE CAR WITH THIS FAILURE. GM SAYS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE AUTOMATIC LOCKS ARE ONLY A CONVENIENCE AND OLDER CARS WERE NOT EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC LOCKS. HOWEVER, ON OLDER CARS THE DOOR WOULD UNLOCK WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE WAS PULLED. ON THE MALIBU PULLING UP ON THE LOCK KNOB IS THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE CAR. COST TO HAVE DEALER REPAIR $300. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK FAILURES ARE VERY COMMON. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 47000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZK57768F.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 Safety Review #10482032

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2012.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK FAILED TO OPEN WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN PARK. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR WAS TO PULL UP ON LOCK KNOB WHICH WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO LIMITED MOBILITY (ARTHRITIS IN SHOULDER). NEEDED TO REMOVE SEAT BELT, SLIDE OVER AND SIT ON CONSOLE TO REACH LOCK KNOB. AUTOMATIC LOCKS STILL ENGAGE WHEN CAR IS PUT IN DRIVE BUT WILL NOT OPEN WHEN PUT BACK IN PARK. I CAN NOT EASILY OR QUICKLY EXIT THE CAR WITH THIS FAILURE. GM SAYS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE AUTOMATIC LOCKS ARE ONLY A CONVENIENCE AND OLDER CARS WERE NOT EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC LOCKS. HOWEVER, ON OLDER CARS THE DOOR WOULD UNLOCK WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE WAS PULLED. ON THE MALIBU PULLING UP ON THE LOCK KNOB IS THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE CAR. COST TO HAVE DEALER REPAIR $300. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK FAILURES ARE VERY COMMON. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 47000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZK57768F. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2008 problem was reported in THE VILLAGES, FL. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 6 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS.
