What owners report most often
Recalls and investigations
Electrical system, ignitionJul 3, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.

Fuel system, gasoline, storage, tank assembly, filler pipe and capOct 29, 1999
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." THE FUEL FILL FITTING IS NOT PROPERLY SECURED TO THE FUEL TANK. IN THAT CONDITION, FUEL LEAKAGE WOULD EXCEED THE PERMISSIBLE AMOUNT IN AN FMVSS TEST. FUEL LEAKS MAY OCCUR, PARTICULARLY AFTER REFUELING OR WHEN THE TANK IS MORE THAN HALF FULL.
IF AN IGNITION SOURCE WERE PRESENT, A FIRE COULD OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY.

I TOO, HAVE MANY OF THE PROBLEMS THAT OTHER MALIBU OWNERS HAVE. MY TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 2X, IN ADDITION TO ROTORS, ETC. THE BATTERY BLEW UP, BUT WAS REPLACED AS WAS THE AC TURNING OFF AND ON BY ITSELF. THE ONE ISSUE THAT IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME, IS ONE FAMILIAR TO YOU. MY CAR CUTS OFF AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS DONE THIS TO ME ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. NASHVILLE HAS 3 INTERSTATES RUNNING THROUGH IT AND I WAS ON THEM BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE SHOPS THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT TO CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANICS AT THEN SHOPS TOLD ME THAT MALIBU'S ARE BY FAR SOME OF THE MOST TROUBLESOME CARS ON THE ROAD TODAY. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED. YOU LOSE CONTROL AND HAVE NO STEERING ABILITY, WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I CAN SEE FROM OTHERS THAT THEIR PROBLEMS ARE BEING IGNORED AS WELL. WHEN WILL GM ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. DON'T THEY WATCH THE NEWS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE FIRESTONE RECALL, OR THE TOBACCO COMPANIES THAT KEPT SECRETS? IT IS TIME FOR SOMEONE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PRODUCT. *NLM

FRONT/REAR SUSPENSION-SQUAWKING NOISE -GM WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE HAZARD LIGHTS - HAVE GONE OUT TWICE. FUEL INTEGRITY - ERRATIC FUEL READING - SHOWS 1/4 TANK - WHEN IN REALITY THERE IS NO GAS. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS APPROXIMATELY 7 TIMES - SEVERAL TIMES LATE AT NIGHT. NO CRUISE CONTROL - GM WOULD NOT REPAIR. BRAKES PADS/ROTORS - HAVE REPLACED 3 TIMES. MY LOCAL DEALER ROTOLO CHEVROLET AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WOULD DO NOTHING. IT WAS EXPENSIVE. PREMATURE TIRE WEAR - TWO SETS OF TIRES. CARS RUNS HOT - WOULD NEVER GO ON A TRIP - BECAUSE IT WOULD GET TOO NEAR OVERHEATING. I WAS AFRAID OF GETTING STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. ENGINE TICKING NOISE - LOCAL DEALER SAID THIS WAS NORMAL. NOW, I FIND NONE OF THESE THINGS WERE NORMAL AND MANY, MANY MORE CAR OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS. ALSO, I HAD A BATTERY THAT EXPLODED WHILE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS MY PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPLACE BATTERY. I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH AND TURNED THIS AUTOMOBILE BACK TO GMAC. IS IT GOING TO TAKE PEOPLE GETTING KILLED TO MAKE GM RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE ISSUES WITH THE 2000 MALIBU. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE REPORTED TO THE DEALER, BUT SINCE NOTHING COULD BE DUPLICATED, EVEN THOUGH GM WAS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES, THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. AFTER THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP WAS MORE THAN WILLING TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THE DECEPTION.....GM IS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND HAVE BEEN FOR SOME TIME. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD THEN ACCOUNTABLE. *JB

Engine and engine cooling, Jan 22, 2003
THE CAR FIRST DEVELOPED A MISS IN THE ENGINE, THEN AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55-65 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEARLY CAUSE SEVERLY ACCIDENTS. I WOULD PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AND THEN THE CAR WOULD START AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO ONE MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE PLUGS, WIRES, AND IGNITION COIL. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR BROKE DOWN AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THEYDID A DECARBON TREATMENT ON ENGINE. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT BROKE DOWN THE NEXT DAY. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC HE REPACED A FUEL FILTER. WHEN I DROVE IT HOME IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME MECHANIC, AT THAT POINT HE DROVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL IT BROKE DOWN ON HIM WITH THE COMPUTER HOOK TO IT. HE THEN REPLACED PART NO. 22683260 MODULE 3.107 137 AND PART NO. 22626099 RING 3.112 G31 CHECK FOR RECALL OF FUEL TANK FITTING AND DID NOT REPLACE. I LEFT THE PARKING LOT OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TURNED AROUND AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME MECHANIC HE HOOK UP THE COMPUTER SAID HE DID NOT KNOW WHY THE LIGHT WAS ON AND PUT GAS TREATMENT IN THE TANK AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT HOME AND ONCE I HAD RUN OUT THIS TANK OF GAS UNHOOK THE BATTERY AND HOOK IT BACK UP AGAIN AND THE LIGHT SHOULD GO OFF. II DID THIS AND THE LIGHT CAME RIGHT BACK ON. AT THIS POINT I HAVE A CAR WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT WHICH I OWE A LOT OF MONEY ON AND CAN NOT TAKE IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY FOR FEAR IT WILL BREAK DOWN LEAVE ME STRANDED OR GET IN AN ACCIDENT, OR CATCH ON FIRE. I HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER TO GM THREE WEEKS AGO WITH NO RESPONSE. IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS I HAVE SPENT OVER 1,500 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND THE MECHANICS ARE TELLING ME NOW THE NEXT STEP IS TO TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE AND REPLACE THE PISTONS. WHAT CAN A PERSON DO IN THIS CASE WHERE DO I TURN FOR HELP?????????

THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED STALLING AT INTERMIT TIMES SINCE SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE STALLING WOULD CAUSE THE CONSUMER TO BE UNABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO THE DEALER, AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN ALTERNATE DEALERSHIP, THE KEY CYLINDER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AND CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND ON THIS OCCASION, THE CONSUMER HAD STRUCK A UTILITY POLE AND TOTALED THE VEHICLE. *SCC
