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.

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.

WE UNFORTUNATELY OWN A 2000 CHEVY MALIBU. WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE ROTORS SEVERAL TIMES FOR GOING OUT OF ROUND. WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AT LESS THEN 50,000 MILES AT THE COST OF $728.00. THE AIR CONDITIONER POPS ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN NOT COOLING FOR THE MOST PART. THE TURN SIGNALS ARE NONFUNCTIONAL AND OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD BE. THEN THERE IS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND THE COOLANT LEAKING AND THE CAR OVERHEATING WE ARE TOLD THIS IS A MANIFOLD INTAKE GASKET AND WILL COST AROUND 800.00 TO FIX. THE NEWEST PROBLEM IS THE FACTORY INSTALLED RADIO TUNER IS BURNED OUT AND NOW WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE RADIO COSTING YET ANOTHER $100.00 DOLLARS OR SO THIS CAR HAS NICKEL AND DIMED US TOO MUCH. AFTER LOOKING OVER YOUR SITE I FOUND THESE TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL. I FEEL THIS CAR WAS A LEMON ACROSS THE BOARD NOT JUST OURS BUT, ALL 2000 MALIBU'S. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE CARS ON A WHOLE THEY WERE VERY BADLY MANUFACTURED AND WE ALL DESERVE SOME COMPENSATION FOR IT. *JB

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE BRAKES GRABBED SO HARD THAT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. THIS RESULTED IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPED. ON ONE OCCASION THIS FAILURE CAUSED LOST OF CONTROL, IN WHICH THE CONSUMER ALMOST CRASHED INTO AN 18 WHEELER, BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE MEDIUM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND WAS NOW REFUSING TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE. *AK THERE WAS A RATTLE UNDER THE HOOD AT THE FIREWALL AREA WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE HOSE ASSEMBLY WAS FOUND RUBBING UNDER THE VEHICLE, BOTH FRONT ROTORS HAD WORE THIN, THE FUEL PUMP SENDER DID NOT HOLD THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL PRESSURE, THERE WAS AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE 24X CRANK SENSOR, THERE WAS A RATTLE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION DUE TO WEAK FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS WHICH WERE NOISY (THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS REPLACED), THE COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR SHORTED, THE WATER PUMP ASSEMBLY LEAKED COOLANT, THERE WAS A VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, HARDWARE WAS BAD AND WAS LOOSE IN THE CALIPER, ROTOR PULSATION WHICH WAS REPLACED PER BULLETIN, THE TURN SIGNAL WAS INOPERATIVE, AND THE A/C HAD INTERNAL DAMAGE AND WOULD CUT ON AND OFF. *SC

MY 2000 MALIBU/4DR SEDAN WOULD STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WOULD BE NO WARNING IT WOULD JUST STOP. THIS CAUSE ALL THE POWER TO STOP WORKING(STEERING,BRAKES). TAKING THE CAR TO A GM DEALER SHOP FOR REPAIR, THEY CONNECTED THE TEST EQUIPMENT UP AND SAID THEY FOUND NO CODES. I INSTRUCTED THEM TO TAKE THE CAR ON A ROAD TEST, WHEN THEY DID THIS THE CAR STOPPED ON THEM ALSO. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM THEY FOUND A TECH BULLETIN(REF:REPLACEMENT OF FUEL PICKUP SCREEN AND FILTER). AFTER THIS REPAIR THE CAR NOW RUNS FINE. IT HAS 45725 MILES AT THE TIME OF TROUBLE. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AND/OR ATTEMPTING TO USE THE TURN SIGNAL, A SHORT IN THE FLASHER SWITCH MADE THE TURN SIGNAL INOPERATIVE AND MADE OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INOPERATIVE (EX. GAUGES, RADIO AND A/C FAN). THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM ALSO CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL. WHEN THE CONSUMER PUSHED THE FLASHER SWITCH REPEATEDLY THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WOULD WORK TEMPORARILY. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED TO ALLEVIATE THE STALLING CONDITION. THE TECHNICIAN HAS IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM IN THE FLASHER SWITCH BUT HAS NOT REPLACED IT. A RECALL ON THE SWITCH IS SCHEDULED TO START LATER IN 2004 HOWEVER THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK *NM

I PUCHASED THIS CAR WITH 20000 MILES ON IT. I HAD IT FOR A LITTLE OVER 5 MONTHS AND I AM REPLACING A FUEL PUMP THAT WILL COST $650. THE POWER STEERING HAS CORROSION, SO THE POWER STEERING HAS TO BE FLUSHED. REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL FILTER, A CRACKED FAN BELT, AND THROTTLE BODY SERVICE. I HAVE THE GM EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT ONLY COVERS THE COST TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. EVERYTHING ELSE IS OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED "REGULAR MAINTENANCE". THE BRAKES ALSO GRIND AND SEEM TO TAKE TOO LONG FOR THE CAR TO STOP. SO I THINK BRAKES AREN'T FAR BEHIND TO BE REPLACED. I AM HOPING I WILL NOT NEED ROTORS TOO. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BRAKES ON THE 2000 CHEVY MALIBU. I TRY TO BUY AMERICAN BECAUSE I AM A PROUD ONE. BUT THE QUALITY SEEM TO BE SUBSTANDARD COMPARED TO JAPANESE CARS. MY NEXT CAR WILL BE FOREIGN. US CAR MAKERS NEED TO "STEP IT UP", AS FAR AS QUALITY WITH THESE CARS.*AK

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
