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.

HAD TROUBLE STARTING CAR. REPLACED BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND BELT. SAME THING HAPPENED; CAR WOULD TURN OVER, BUT NOT FIRE. AUTOMOBILE REPAIRED, REPLACED BATTERY; NEXT DAY, CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WOULD START WITH A JUMP, BUT WHEN I STOP, IT DIES. *AK 3 OCCURENCES; SAME PROBLEM. I'VE USED AAA 3 TIMES FOR SAME ITEM. I ONLY HAVE 1 MORE SERVICE CALL LEFT!!! ALSO, INTERIOR LIGHTS DON'T WORK ALL THE TIME. BRAKE NOISE ON RIGHT SIDE.

THE KEY TO MY 2000 MALIBU WILL NOT TURN. IT STARTED "ACTING UP"ONLY WHEN THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE. IT KNOW HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT OF EVERYTIME THE CAR IS TURNED ON. THE KEY IS ALSO ABLE TO BE REMOVED WHILE THE CAR IS ON. I AM IN THE PROCESS TO TRY TO REPLACE IT, HOWEVER I CAN NOT BUY JUST THE CYLANDER I WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SWITCH. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND NEED TO HAVE A CAR START, AND CAN NOT "PLAY" WITH THE KEY FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES UNTIL IT WILL TURN. WHILE I WAS TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, HE COMMENTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE KEY NOT TURNING.*AK

MY WIFE'S 3.1 GENERAL MOTORS V6 NEEDED A MANIFOLD GASKET AND RELATED ITEMS REPLACED ON HER 2000 MALIBU WHICH ONLY HAS 48,000 MILES AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. MY 1995 LUMINA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING WITH MANY SHOPS AND GM DEALERS (AND A CO-WORKER WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TODAY)...IT IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT @ EVERY 40,000 MILES. IT COULD TURN OUT TO BE A VERY BAD DEAL FOR MANY CONSUMERS AND IT APPEARS THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW OF DEFECT FOR YEARS. JUST A HEADS UP FOR YOU. *JB

ABS LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, FAN DOES NOT OPERATE ON SPEEDS 1 & 2, BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS NEED REPLACED EVERY YEAR, HAZARD/TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY, AND INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET BEGAN LEAKING AROUND 70,000 MILES. THE COOLANT IS LISTED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL AS NOT NEEDING SERVICE FOR 150,000 MILES BUT IT TURNED VERY ACIDIC IN LESS THAN HALF THAT TIME AND ATE THE GASKET CAUSING THE NEED FOR COSTLY REPAIRS OR ELSE RISK PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. TURN SIGNAL ISSUE RECALLED BUT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE'S VIN. VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SIGNAL INTENTION TO TURN OR SWITCH LANES AND WAS UNSAFE ON HIGHWAYS. HAVE YET TO EXPERIENCE COMMON FUEL PUMP FAILURE THAT COULD CAUSE STALLING IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. NOT RECALLED IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM OF THE LEAKING INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET BECAUSE IT IS NOT DEEMED A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS CAN BECOME SAFETY ISSUE IF ENGINES CATCH FIRE OR FAIL ON HIGHWAY DUE TO COOLANT LEAK INTO MOTOR OIL. COST TO REPAIR LEAKING INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET QUOTED AT $743. CURRENTLY DISCUSSING WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED IN TSB 03-06-01-010B (10/24/2003) AND THERE ARE SEVERAL CLASS-ACTION LAWSUITS. TSB DESCRIBES REPLACING FAULTY GASKET WITH A NEW GASKET THAT HAS IMPROVED SEALING QUALITIES. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANY TSB FOR 2000 MALIBU OTHER THAN TURN SIGNAL RECALL. GM IS BEING INTENTIONALLY DISHONEST WHEN OWNERS INQUIRE ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA TAKES NOTICE OF THE MULTITUDE OF SAFETY ISSUES CONCERNING THIS VEHICLE AND CAN OBTAIN A SATISFIABLE RESOLUTION FROM GM TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFE FOR OWNERS OR JUSTLY COMPENSATE THEM FOR THE REPAIRS NECESSARY TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE.*AK

THE BRAKE PULSATE AND GRIND. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 2 YRS NOW. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKING SYSTEM COMPLETLY REPLACED. BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, CALIPERS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE FUEL LINES, YOU NAME IT AND IT HAS BEEN DONE. I REPLACED THE BRAKES WITH GM PARTS. I NEED NEW BRAKES AGAIN. MY CAR COULD NOT STOP IN TIME TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. IT IS AWFUL. WHEN THE CALIPERS WERE INSTALLED THEY MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS I WAS TOLD THIS WAS OK. ALSO, IF I APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD THE ABS GOES OFF. *AK

COOLANT WAS LEAKING FROM MY 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU ENGINE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND MY COOLANT PUMP. THE CAR HAS ONLY 52,000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AND COOLANT PUMP. THE COST WAS $1250. I WORK AT A COMPANY WHERE I KNOW ALL THE OTHER CHEVROLET MALIBU OWNERS. THERE ARE TWO OTHER: ONE OWNS A 1999 AND THE OTHER OWNS A 2000 MALIBU, BOTH WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. THE 2000 OWNER HAS HAD THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED FOR $950. THE 1999 OWNER HAS HAD THE COOLANT PUMP REPLACED AND WILL PROBABLY NEED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED. I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET HAD INITIALLY INSTALLED DEFECTIVE CHEAP PARTS IN THIS MODEL AND WILL NOT OWN UP TO IT. *AK

2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU, 20,000 MILES - DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AGAIN. THIS IS THE THIRD SET OF ROTORS. IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY) AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. THIS IS A PROBLEM SPECIFIC TO MALIBU'S OF THIS TIME PERIOD. 3 SETS OF BRAKE ROTORS IN 20,000 MILES? UNHEARD OF AND ABSOLUTELY QUALIFIES FOR A "LEMON PART". THIS SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY GM, BUT INSTEAD IT IS A PROFIT STREAM FOR THEM. CAN YOU HELP?*AK

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY MALIBU WITH 38000 MILES. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET IS LEAKING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. I WAS TOLD THERE HAVE BEEN MANY GASKET FAILURES ON THE MALIBU BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. REPAIR COST IS ESTIMATED AT $645.00 BY THE DEALER. I AM NOW UNABLE TO AFFORD THE REPAIR OR SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE CAR IS NOW IN STORAGE. *JB

THE MALIBU ENGINE SMELLED HOT AND FLUID WAS LEAKING ONTO THE GARAGE FLOOR. A MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT COOLANT IS LEAKING ONTO THE TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. WE HAVE ADDED FLUID A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE GASKET WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD REPLACE THIS SINCE IT IS A COMMONLY KNOWN PROBLEM ON THIS CAR. *NM

WHENEVER THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIMMY. WOULD LET BRAKES GO WHEN VEHICLE STARTED TO SHIMMY. THIS OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED AND BRAKES REPLACED. THE ROTORS WOULD BE TURNED EVERY 6,000 TO 10,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED.*AK

CHEV. 2000 MALIBU RECALL 03043 (03V327000). UNABLE TO GET RECALL COMPLETED DUE TO NO PARTS AVAILABLE. AT SLOANE CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT (COTTMAN AVE., PHILA, PA.) ON 1/17/05: ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE OVER 1 WEEK IN ADVANCE TO COME IN FOR THE RECALL. RECALL DESCRIPTION & RECALL NUMBER & VIN NUMBER WERE GIVEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SO THEY COULD BR SURE TO HAVE WHAT'S NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE SERVICE. DESPITE THIS, THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS NECESSARY TO DO THE RECALL! THIS IS AFTER I MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO GET THE WORK DONE WHILE I WAS OFF FROM WORK, AND TRAVELED THERE ON A TREACHEROUS SNOWY DAY. SUGGESTION WAS MADE BY THE DEALER (SLOANE CHEV.) TO CONTACT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALL, AND THEN HOPE THAT THEY HAVE THE PART. OBVIOUSLY CHEVROLET/GM DOES NOT WANT TO GET THIS RECALL COMPLETED! *JB

CAR WAS GETTING HOT THEN COOLING BACK DOWN,WHILE GETTING HOT HEATER WOULD NOT WORK. TOOK TO MECHANIC, HAD THERMOSTAT AND WATER PUMP REPLACED. CAR RAN FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS,THEN SAME PROBLEM. TOOK BACK TO MECHANIC. HE SAID ITS POSSIBLE THE THERMOSTAT PURCHASED WAS DEFECTIVE. INSTALLED NEW THERMOSTAT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. GOT IN CAR DID NOT GET HOT AND COOL BACK DOWN IT GOT TO NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND HEATER WORKED. THREE DAYS LATER, CAR STARTED GETTING HOT, COOLING BACK DOWN AND BUBBLING THE WATER OUT OF THE OVERFLOW RESERVOIR. THERE ARE NO LEAKS ANYWHERE,NO BLOWN GASKET, OR CRACKS. THIS PROBLEM IS BECOMING A BIG PAIN. I THINK IT IS A DEFECT CAUSED BY MANUFACTURER AND IF THE PROBLEM CANT BE FIXED, I KNOW ILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER GM {GREAT MISTAKE} VEHICLE AGAIN. *NM

FUEL GAUGE READ 1/2 TO 1/4 FULL AND TANK RAN DRY WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON FREEWAY TO WORK. HAD TO COAST OVER 3 LANES TO SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. SENDER UNIT WAS REPLACED AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MALIBUS, ALEROS, AND GRAND AMS. HAVE HAD FRIENDS WITH THESE CARS AND A SUNFIRE THAT HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEFECT INVESTIGATION WAS DROPPED BECAUSE OF DECREASE IN COMPLAINTS, BUT MY MECHANIC TELLS ME HE WORKS ON AT LEAST 5 OF THESE MODELS A MONTH FIXING THIS SAME PROBLEM ON ALL OF THEM. I THINK THAT IF I PERSONALLY KNOW FOUR PEOPLE BESIDES MYSELF THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SENDER UNIT, GM SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS COMPONENT. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HASN'T BEEN INJURED YET, SHOULD NOT BE A DETERMINING FACTOR.*AK
