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.

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

MY 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU HAS ONLY 77,749 MILES ON IT. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. SINCE THE PURCHASE I HAVE REPLACED ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS 4 TIMES. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. THERE MUST BE SOME KIND OF A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE FOR A PERSON TO HAVE TO REPLACE ROTORS AND PADS 4 TIMES WITHIN THE AMOUNT OF MILEAGE I HAVE PLACED ON MY CAR. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I HAD TO DO THIS ON ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK WHERE THESE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. 3 TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE 4TH TIME AT A PRIVATE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. I WASN'T SURE IF THE DEALERSHIP WAS DOING THEIR JOB CORRECTLY BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAVE THIS DONE I DECIDED TO GO TO A PRIVATE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. *LA

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN MVA BACK IN 2002 BECAUSE OF TURN SIGNAL FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN MADE BUT NOBODY EVER NOTIFIED ME! ALSO MY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES ESPECIALLY WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO LOOSING CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN THERE IS WATER ON THE ROADS. I REPLACED MY ROTORS TWICE! I BELEIVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT.AND ONE MORE THING MY AC CONTROL SWITCH KEEPS TURNING ON AND OFF THE COMPRESSOR I DONT BELIEVE THIS COULD BE GOOD FOR THE COMPRESSOR!. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT BRAKE LINE INDICATOR LIGHT DID NOT COME ON TO INFORM HER THAT SHE NEEDED BRAKES OR THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. SHE WOULD HEAR A FUNNY NOISE SOMETIMES. THEN, SHE TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE SHE PURCHASED VEHICLE, AND AFTER EXAMINING THE VEHICLE, WAS TOLD SHE NEEDED BRAKES, AND THAT THE CALIPERS ON DRIVER'S SIDE WERE GOING OUT. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE HER $140.00 TO TURN ROTORS, AND PUT BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE. SHE HAS HAD THE VEHICLE ONLY ONE MONTH. ALSO, CONSUME RGOT STRANDED, AND HAD VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. DEALE RFOUND THAT THE BATTERY POST WAS CORRODED, SHE WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. *AK

BRAKES WEAR OUT EVERY 2-3 MONTHS(PAYING AN EXPENSIVE AMOUNT FOR BRAKE SHOES AND ROTORS AIR CONDITONING SWITCH MALFUNCTIONS AND YOU JUST CANNOT TRADE THIS CAR IN BECAUSE THE VALUE DEPRECIATES THE SAME DAY YOU DRIVE OFF THE CAR LOT.

RIGHT FRONT TIRE ON 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU CAME APART ON OUTER SIDEWALL WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH. INITALLY NO CAUSE COULD BE FOUND. THE TREAD AND INNER SIDEWALL APPEARED TO BE OK. AFTER INSTALLING THE SPACE SAVER SPARE AND DRIVING ABOUT 100 MILES HOME AT 50 MPH THE TIRE AND RIM WERE IMMEDIATELY INSPECTED. THE TIRE WAS SO HOT YOU COULD BARELY HOLD YOUR HAND ON IT. THE RIM WAS HOT ENOUGH TO BURN FINGERS. THE BRAKE ON THAT WHEEL WAS NOT COMPLETELY RELEASING AND WAS CAUSING THE EXTREME HEAT BUILD-UP. THE OUTSIDE ON THE TIRE APPEARS TO HAVE GOTTEN SO HOT THAT IT LITERALLY FELL APART. THE BRAKE PADS ON THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPLACED AT ABOUT 38,00 MILES AND THIS SIDE HAD WORN MORE THAN THE OTHER, BUT NO PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ABNORMAL WEAR. THE BRAKE ON THIS WHEEL APPEARS TO WORK NORNALLY MOST OF THE TIME AND THEN PERIODICALLY NOT RELEASE COMPLETELY AND CAUSE THE HEAT TO BUILD -UP AND THE ABNORMAL PAD WEAR. THERE WAS NO WARNING FROM THE TIRE OR VEHICLE THAT THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN EXCEPT FOR A SLIGHT HUMMING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF VEHICLE A COUPLE SECONDS BEFORE FAILURE. I CONSIDER THIS AN EXTREME SAFET HAZZARD BECAUSE IT OCCURS WITH NO WARNING AND THEN IS USUALLY BLAMED ON THE TIRE. EITHER IT WAS DEFECTIVE OR HAD IMPROPER PRESSURE.

MAY 02 MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR BRAKES AND FRONT END NOISE, THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE TIME TO CORRECT THE FRONT END PROBLEM (WHICH THEY NOTED WAS COVERED BY MY WARRANTY) AND TO RESCHEDULE FOR THAT PROBLEM. I DID SO IN JULY 02 AND AT THAT TIME, THEY CHARGED ME FOR THE WORK AND TRIED TO BLAME ME FOR THE PROBLEM SO I PAID $281.75 FOR THIS WORK WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY NOTED THAT WOULD BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. MY BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING SEVERAL TIMES: IN OCTOBER 3, 2002, OCTOBER 29, 2002, AND IN DECEMBER 2002. I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR AT A COST OF $280.52 FOR THE DEC. 2002 PROBLEM. IN MARCH 2003 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR FRONT SUSPENSION NOISE, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A RIGHT UPPER STRUT MOUNT HAD CALLAPSED. IN MAY 2003 THE VEHICLE HAS AGAIN OVERHEATED AND THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE YOUNG MAN THAT I SPOKE WITH WHEN I ARRIVED INDICATED THAT THEY (THE DEALERSHIP) WAS UNSURE AS TO WHY THE VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO JUST DRIVE IT BECAUSE HIS TRUCK DOES IT ALL THE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE BATTERIES THAT THEY WERE REPLACING KEPT CRACKING AND LEAKING. WHEN I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN REGARDING THE PROBLEM AND MY SAFETY CONCERNS, HE JUST BLEW ME OFF AS IF I WAS JUST COMPLAINING. ONCE AGAIN, IT IS NOW JULY 2003 AND FOR THE 4TH TIME, MY VEHICLE IS OVERHEATING AND OVERHEATING. IN ADDITION ON SERVERAL OCCASIONS I ALSO INDICATED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THAT THERE WAS A VIBRATING AND SHIMBLING WHEN MY BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND IT MAKES IT HARD TO CONTROLL THE VEHICLE, NOT ONCE WOULD THEY ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH ME NOR HAVE I BEEN NOTIFIED OR ANY DEFECTS OR RECALLS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THE 2000 CHEVY MALIBU. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY. IN ADDITION, MY TIRES CONTINUOUSLY LOOSE AIR AND THE TREAD IS SEPARATION FROM MY LEFT REAR TIRE.*AK

I PURCHASED A NEW 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU. SIX MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE CAR I BEGAN HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS. UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. I TOOK MY 6 MONTH OLD VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THE FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED. THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS. LATER, THIS SAME DEFECT OCCURRED THREE MORE TIMES. CHEVROLET ONLY MADE TWO MORE REPAIRS. EACH TIME THEY SIMPLY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PLACED A SHIM BETWEEN THE AXLES AND THE ROTOR. THIS SAME MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FLAW OCCURRED ON THE FLOWING YEAR AND MAKE VEHICLES: 1997-2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU 1997-1999 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS 1999-2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO 1999-2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM I COMPLAINED TO CHEVROLET ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING WAS DONE. THE DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE IN SAN ANTONIO SIMPLY TRIED TO AVOID ME. CHEVROLETS ON LINE COMPLAINT SYSTEM ALSO DID NOTHING. AGAIN, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS BRAKE PROBLEM. THE MAIN CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE SMALL (THIN) SIZE OF THE BRAKE ROTORS, WHICH CAUSED A FAILURE TO DISPERSE HEAT ADEQUATELY. IF A DRIVER DRIVES INTO A RAIN STORM OR TO A CAR WASH AND THE HOT ROTORS COOL TOO RAPIDLY THEY WILL WARP. PLEASE SEE GM SERVICE BULLETIN # 00-05-23-002, DATED FEBRUARY 2000 FOR MORE INFORMATION. THE MADDENING THING ABOUT THIS SITUATION IS THAT CHEVROLET KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR. CHEVROLET/GM FAILED TO RECALL ALL THESE VEHICLES, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW IT WAS A FLAW IN THEIR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN, THEY LEFT THE PROBLEM IN THE HANDS AND POCKET BOOKS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THIS TYPE OF CORPORATE IRRESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICE. *NLM
