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.

THEFT SYSTEM/PASSLOCK. DAILY THIS IS TRIGGERED PREVENTING ME FROM STARTING MY VEHICLE FOR TEN MINUTES. I HAVE A HIGHLY SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD AND IT'S CRITICAL THAT MY VEHICLE GETS ME TO HIM OR TAKES HIM WHERE HE NEEDS TO GO. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN LATE FOR WORK SEVERAL TIMES, AND MOST RECENTLY TODAY I LEFT WORK EARLY FROM BEING SICK AND RENDERED UNABLE TO START THE CAR, TWICE. I DON'T NEED THE THEFT SYSTEM, I CAN'T AFFORD A 'POSSIBLE' FIX AND FROM EVERYONE I'VE SPOKEN TO- NOTHING HAS WORKED TO FIX THEIR ISSUES. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED TO HAVE THIS FIXED, TAKEN OUT (IF THERE'S A WAY) OR GIVE US A TRADE IN! MY CAR IS PAID FOR, I CAN'T AFFORD TO GO GET A NEW ONE! *TR

AFTER REPLENISHING RADIATOR FLUID IN MY 2000 CHEVY MALIBU WITH THE APPROVED FLUID, HAVOLINE DEX-COOL RADIATOR FLUID, MY CAR STARTED TO CONSTANTLY LEAK ANTI-FREEZE AND NOW I HAVE A LEAK AND MY RADIATOR "IDIOT" LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. THE CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE PRIOR TO THE APPLICATION OF THE DEX-COOL BUT DAYS AFTERWARD MY TROUBLES BEGAN. THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM BEFORE AND AS USUAL 4-6 WEEKS I WOULD HAVE TO REPLENISH 1/2 GALLON OF FLUID. THIS IS NOTED ON EVERY DISCUSSION BOARD REGARDING THIS MODEL BETWEEN 1997-2003. IT'S TOO CIRCUMSTATIAL THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE APPLICATION OF THE DEX-COOL THAT MY TROUBLES BEGAN THEN FINDING THE SETTLEMENT OF GM REGARDING THIS MATTER AND IMPROPER GASKETS FOR THEIR MANIFOLDS AND WATER PUMPS (NYLON/SOLICONE BASED) THAT THE COURTS FOUND THAT THE COOLANT DOES INDEED CORRODE THESE GASKETS. NOW THAT MY CAR IS 8 YRS OLD, MY ABILITY TO RECOUP ANY MONEY ON USING THE PROPER/RECOMMENDED PRODUCT AS STATED BY GM IS MORE THAN LIKELY IMPROBABLE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, THE LIGHTS FUNCTIONED PROPERLY EACH TIME AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER REGARDING NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V327000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH) AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW SWITCH. THE REMEDY CORRECTED THE ISSUE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED IN THE LATTER PART OF 2008. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE AGAIN BECAUSE THE RECALL REPAIR HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PERFORMED. IN ADDITION, THE HEATER DID NOT WORK. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,902 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,668.

RECURRING PROBLEM WITH A "THEFT SYSTEM" ERROR. IN COLD WEATHER, THE THEFT SYSTEM DISABLES THE VEHICLE FOR 10 MINUTES, THEN MAYBE WILL ALLOW CAR TO START. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON AUTO FORUMS REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE. EACH YEAR FOR THE LAST 4 WE HAVE ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING. THIS IS RELATED TO A "PASS LOCK" SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE AN ALARM, NOT REMOTE STARTER. *TR

PASSLOCK ANTI THEFT DEVICE (OR SYSTEM) IN 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU. PASSIVE ANTI THEFT COMES ON AND REFUSES TO LET THE AUTOMOBILE START IF THERE IS EVEN A HICCUP IN THE STARTING PROCESS THE CAR WILL NOT START UNLESS LEFT IN ACC FOR 10 MINUTES. THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I RECEIVED A CALL THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND I WAS NEEDED. WENT TO START MY VEHICLE, THERE WAS A HICCUP IN THE PROCESS AND MY AUTOMOBILE REFUSED TO START FOR 10 MINUTES. IN AN EMERGENT SITUATION WITH ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER YOUR VEHICLE IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY IN THIS CASE THE 10 MINUTES DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE OUTCOME, HOWEVER IN AN EMERGENCY 10 MINUTES COULD PROVE TO BE LIFE THREATENING. I REPEAT - TO NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER ONE'S OWN VEHICLE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT THE LEAST AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN AN EMERGENCY. GM WANTS $500 TO REPLACE THE NECESSARY MODULE - WHICH WILL FAIL AGAIN. $500 TO REGAIN CONTROL OVER MY OWN VEHICLE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PLACE A SWITCH WITHIN REASONABLE ACCESS SO THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE CAN DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THIS DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT CAN BE ENABLED. AGAIN - THIS SITUATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY TURN SIGNALS BUT WHILE RESEARCHING I FOUND A RECALL NOTICE FOR 2000-2001 CHEVY MALIBUS. I CONTACTED CHEVY (VICTOR WOOD) AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND GIVE ME A WRITTEN STATEMENT ON WHY THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. THEY ONLY GAVE ME A FILE NUMBER 71-659486155 FOR REFERENCE. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL NOTICE. THE 5 DIGIT GM RECALL NUMBER IS 03043 AND THE SUMMARY IS: SUMMARY: CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES HAVE HAZARD WARNING SWITCHES THAT MAY EXPERIENCE SOLDER JOINT CRACKING CAUSED BY RAPID TEMPERATURE TRANSITIONS AND THE SOLDERING PROCESS.
