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.

IN 2001 WE PURCHASED A NEW CHEVROLET MALIBU. AFTER JUST 17,000 MILES WE WERE INFORMED IT WOULD NOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE THE BRAKES HAD WORN OUT. GM REPLACED THE BRAKES FOR US. 13,000 MILES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING AND LETTER WRITING, GM REPLACED THE BRAKES AGAIN. I INSPECTED THE BRAKES IN BOTH INSTANCES AND NOTICED THAT ONLY THE INNER BRAKE PAD WAS WORN, THE OUTER PAD LOOKED BRAND NEW. THE CALIPER IS CAST ALUMINUM AND IT BENDS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED MUCH LIKE A CHEAP "C" CLAMP THAT YOU MIGHT FIND IN A DOLLAR STORE. THERE ARE TWO MAJOR CONCERNS I HAVE ABOUT THIS CONDITION. FIRST AND FOREMOST IS THE SAFETY OF THIS SYSTEM. WITH THE CONSTANT FLEXING I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CALIPER MAY FRACTURE AT SOME POINT DOWN THE ROAD. IN ADDITION TO THE FLEXING, I BELIEVE THE INNER PAD IS OVERHEATING, SINCE IT IS DOING ALL OF THE WORK, AND THIS COULD CAUSE BRAKE FADE. THE CALIPER ALSO APPEARS TO BIND ON THE GUIDE PINS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. WHEN THE CASTING BENDS, IT CAUSES A MISALIGNMENT OF THE GUIDE PINS AND CONSEQUENTLY THE CALIPER THEN BINDS. THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE IS WITH THE LIFE OF THE BRAKES. GM SAYS THE BRAKES SHOULD ONLY LAST BETWEEN 8,000 AND 12,000 MILES. IF THE CALIPER DIDN'T FLEX AS MUCH AND THE PADS WERE WEARING EVENLY THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE BRAKES WOULD GO UP SIGNIFICANTLY. IN EITHER CASE GM BLEW IT WITH THEIR CHOICE OF THESE CALIPERS ON THIS VEHICLE. AT THE VERY WORST, THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK. I WONDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THESE VEHICLES COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE BRAKES, AND ARE PEOPLE EVEN LOOKING AT THE BRAKES AS A CAUSE? AT BEST, GM IS SHAFTING THEIR CUSTOMERS. PEOPLE ARE PAYING NEEDLESSLY FOR SERVICE WORK THEY DON'T NEED. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY RESULTING FROM THIS. IT ALSO SPEAKS TO GM'S INTEGRITY AND ETHICS, ALLOWING AN INFERIOR BRAKE SYSTEM TO BE USED ON ITS VEHICLES. *NLM

I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT (REQUEST # [XXX]) AND WAS ABLE TO GET AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2002 AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, HOWEVER THE BRAKES HAVE NEEDED REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES SINCE MY ORIGINAL CONCERNS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE? MY RECENT CONVERSATIONS WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN LESS THAN CORDIAL. I HAVE CONSIDERED TRADING IN THE MALIBU AND PURCHASING ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT THE TRADE IN VALUE OFFERED FOR THE MALIBU IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MY QUESTION IS: WHAT KIND OF ASSISTANCE DOES YOUR OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION OFFER? I FIRMLY BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE AND GENERAL MOTORS BEARS THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECTING THE DEFECT OR REPLACING THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU.

ODOR ASSOCIATED WITH BRAKE FAILURE.@-DAY REST AND BRAKES APPEARED TO BE OKAY. AM AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I WAS ON HIGHWAY WHEN I SENSED FAULTY BRAKING POWER. OFF HIGHWAY ON HILLY ROAD BRAKES WENT AOUT COMPLETELY AND THERE WAS AN ODOR LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. I HAD CAR TOWED TO BROOME CHEVROLET-OLDSMOBILE ON SATURDAY. IT STAYED THERE UNTIL MONDAY WHEN SERVICE SHOP OPENED. IT WAS THERE FOR TWO DAYS. THE ONLY THING I CAN GET FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER IS THAT THEY ROAD TESTED IT 3 TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO DETERMINE THE POSSIBLE CAUSE. HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT HIS MECHANICS DID EXCEPT ROD TESTED IT AND LOOKED THROUGH THE WHEEL. HE COULD NOT DEFINE WHAT LOOKING THROUGH THE WHEEL MEANT. I ASKED IF THEY TOOK A LOGICAL APPROACH TO SOLVING THE PROBLEM. HE COULD NOT ANSWER THIS. I GAVE SOME EXAMPLES, SUCH AS, THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED FOR SOME REASON. THEY GOT HOT AND CHEMICALS IN THE MATERIALS VAPORIZED AND THIUS THE ODOR. NOW WHAT CAUSED THE BRAKES TO LOCK. THEN HE SAID THAT HE KNEW THAT THE BRAKE PEDDLE WOULD FLOORBOARD IF THE BRAKES GOT HOT. HE ALSO SAID THAT HARD BRAKING WOULD CAUSE THAT AND SLOW DRIVING AND BRAKING WOULD DO THAT INFERRING THAT I DID THT. I TOLD HIM THAT I DID NOT HARD BRAKE AND I DID NOT RIDE THE BRAKES. I ALSO SAID THAT IF SLOW DRIVING AND BRAKING WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM I HAD THEN MOST EVERYBODY DRIVING IN THE CITU WOULD EXPERIENCE WHAT I DID. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE OFFICE AND GOT NO HELP. I ASKE FOR SOURCES (TELEPHONE NUMBERS) WHERE I COULD FIND OUT ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND WHERE I COULD TALK WITH KNOWLEDGEABLE PEOPLE ON THE SUBJECT. ALL I GOT WAS THAT THEYB COULD NOT REPLACE EVERY PART; SHE HAD NOT NUMBERS; THAT THE CA WASS ROAD TESTED BY THREER PEOPLE AT BROOME (SHE HAD CALLED AND TALKED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. I HAD GIVEN HER THE NUMBER.). MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *AK

ON THE 22ND OF OCTOBER MY VEHICLE HAD LOST ITS BRAKES WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A HILL. MY IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS TO APPLY MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH DID STOP MY CAR BUT ALSO PROCEEDED TO CAUSE IT TO CRASH. UPON INVESTIGATION BY MY INS. CO. (NATIONWIDE INS.) THEY FOUND THAT BOTH FRONT BRAKE HOSES HAD FRAYED ON THE MALIBU WHICH HAD CAUSED ME TO LOSE MY BRAKES. FURTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY VEHICLE WHICH IS NOW CONSIDERED TOTALLED.
