Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleJan 16, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2010-2011 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver frontal air bag, the air bag inflator may explode due to being overpressurized.
If the inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments may strike the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
GM has notified owners, and dealers will replace the front driver air bag module, free of charge. The recall began February 25, 2019. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-522-9559. GM's number for this recall is N182206630.

Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain replacement intermediate steering shafts sold under the Dorman, OE Solutions, and Solutions brand names, part numbers 425-167, 2425167, and 7-3074, for installation on 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura vehicles. The affected steering shafts may have a yoke that inadequately supports the u-joint bearing resulting in a premature failure.
A joint bearing that fails prematurely may cause separation of the u-joint resulting in a complete loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dorman will notify owners, and dealers will refund the purchase price or replace the steering shafts, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492.

Electrical system, wiringMay 14, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features.
Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will attach the wiring harness to the BCM with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the BCM and harness connector and the BAS and harness connector, and will relearn the brake pedal home position, free of charge. The manufacturer distributed an Interim letter to customers on July 14, 2014. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (Pontiac), 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn). GM's number for this recall is 13036.

Power train, automatic transmission, gear position indication (prndl)Sep 18, 2012
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Saturn Aura and model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles, equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. On these vehicles, the tabs on the transmission shift cable end may fracture and separate.
If the tabs were to fracture and separate, the shift lever and the actual position of the transmission gear may not match. The driver would be able to move the shifter to 'PARK' and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear may not be in 'PARK.' The vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the vehicle could roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible crash without prior warning.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer over the cable end or replace the shift cable as necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. Notification to owners began on on November 9, 2012. Owners were instructed to not bring their vehicles for repair until January 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300.

Steering, Feb 5, 2017
WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY, I FELT A SMALL JERKING TO THE LEFT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS STARTED ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 3, 2017 BETWEEN DRIVING FROM ONE WORK PLACE TO THE OTHER. THERE WERE NO ISSUES WHEN DRIVING IT HOME. NO ISSUES NOTICED ON SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4TH WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS IN THE AM HOURS. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY JERKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. LATER ON THAT SATURDAY NIGHT THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT A RESTAURANT. WE TRAVELED ON THE CITY STREETS HOME BECAUSE IT WAS ALMOST A STRAIGHT DRIVE HOME FROM THE RESTAURANT. IT WAS VERY HARD FOR MY HUSBAND TO STEER THE CAR ON THE WAY HOME. THERE WAS NO POWER ASSIST AT ALL. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON OTHER MALIBU'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NOT SURE IF I REALLY WANT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TOMORROW FOR WORK WITH THIS ISSUE. I DO TRAVEL ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MORNINGS.
Exterior lighting, Service brakes, Feb 5, 2017
CAR WAS SERVICED FOR A 2014 RECALL BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS OPERATING IN REVERSE (ON WHEN FOOT IS OFF THE BRAKE AND OFF WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED), PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE "FIX" THAT WAS APPLIED DURING THE RECALL WAS JUST A "BAND-AID" AND THAT THE BCM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. VERY UNSAFE CAR TO DRIVE SINCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE TELLING THE DRIVERS BEHIND YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT STOPPING WHEN, IN FACT, YOU ARE STOPPING. WITH MORE AND MORE DISTRACTED DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, WHO RELY ON SEEING BRAKE LIGHTS IN THEIR PERIPHERAL VISION IN ORDER TO AVOID A COLLISION, THE DANGER IS INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND WAS ASKED "WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO?", WHICH BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP ME. THIS NEEDS TO FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR GRAVELY INJURED.
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, Feb 4, 2017
BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AND TURNS OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS ENGAGED. IT IS ALSO ILLUMINATED WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND WHILE IDLING IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE DESPITE BEING ASSESSED BY A TECHNICIAN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE ESC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ON CLUSTER CONSTANTLY STAYS ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE TIRE SENSOR INDICATOR. THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS TOO. NO ONE EVER KNOWS HOW TO REPAIR THESE ISSUES. I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO PUT INTO THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE EVERY TIME I GET IN IT. IT IS A DANGER TO ALL ON THE ROADWAYS WHEN A VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS IN ANY WAY. I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE AS THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE MY FAMILY OWNS AT THIS TIME. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, GM HAS MULTIPLE VEHICLES IN OPERATION WITH THE SAME ISSUES. WHAT MAKES IT SO BAD, THE PROBLEMS DATE BACK AS FAR AS 2004. HOW DO YOU KEEP PRODUCING CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUES YEAR AFTER YEAR? ARE THERE NO REPERCUSSIONS? PLEASE HELP.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK AND WILL NOT OPEN SOMETIMES AND WILL NOT CLOSE SOMETIMES WHEN OPENED. WHEN IT WONT OPEN IT FEELS LIKE THE HANDLES ARE NOT GRABBING ANYTHING. THE DOOR JAMS ARE CLEAR OF ANY DEBRIS. WHEN IT WONT SHUT IT WILL SOUND LIKE IT DID BUT WILL BOUNCE OPEN. THE DOOR OPENED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. THE LOCK KNOBS MOVE UP AND DOWN WHEN YOU UNLOCK THEM BUT THE DOOR STILL WILL NOT OPEN SOMETIMES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 DAYS. IT WILL NOT OPEN WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND THE DOOR CAME OPEN ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I DID NOT HIT ANY HOLES OR BUMPS. *TR
Steering, Jan 19, 2017
AFTER I START THE CAR, THE VEHICLE WILL CHIME AS THE DIC DISPLAYS "POWER STEERING" (USUALLY ACCOMPANIED BY "SERVICE ESC" AND "SVC TIRE MONITOR"). THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WILL THEN COMPLETELY GIVE OUT MAKING IT VERY STRENUOUS TO USE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN BOTH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. THIS PROBLEM REQUIRES THE CAR TO BE RESTARTED MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER FOR POWER STEERING TO RUN AND WORK SMOOTHLY AGAIN. POWER STEERING OCCASIONALLY GIVES OUT DURING MANY TRIPS (REGARDLESS OF SPEED AND DISTANCE), WHILE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING VERY FEW TRIPS UNINTERRUPTED. I DRIVE A 2010 CHEVY MALIBU WITH 140K MILES ON IT - THIS HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH MY ONLY PROBLEM THUS FAR, BUT HAS NOW OCCURRED EVERYDAY FOR ABOUT 4-5 DAYS IN A ROW.

IT IS A 2010 MALIBU LS. YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS CLOSING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, IT WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY FROM THE OUTSIDE. I LOOKED AT THE CATCH AND THE AREA MIDWAY ON THE DOOR TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS CAUGHT IN IT OR LOOKED LIKE IT WAS MISSING. I DIDNT SEE ANYTHING. I GOT IN AND SHUT THE DOOR AND IT CLOSED, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN IT IT WOULD NOT OPEN. I TRIED PUSHING THE POWER LOCK BUTTON INSIDE A FEW TIMES LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AND IT STILL DOES NOT OPEN. WHEN YOU PULL THE LTACH ON THE INSIDE IT FEELS LIKE IT IS NOT CATCHING ANYTHING. I TRIED JUST USING THE KEY ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE HANDLE ON THE OUTSIDE SEEMS LIKE IT IS NOT CATCHING ANYTHING. THE LOCKS STILL GO UP AND DOWN, WITH AND WITHOUT USING THE REMOTE. ALSO I NOTICED THAT THE RADIO STAYS ON WITH THE DOORS CLOSED AND NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE PASSANGER SIDE AND REAR DOORS WORK FINE.
Power train, Jan 14, 2017
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING INTO NEUTRAL, SLIPPING SHIFTS WITHOUT POWER IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. WITH INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION POWER THIS CAUSED A SERIOUS SITUATION IN TRAFFIC. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND LIMP IT HOME. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS 94,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER, THEY TOOK THE TRANSMISSION APART AND THE TRANSMISSION SUFFERED THE 3-5-R WAVE PLATE FAILURE, THE PLATE HAS A FLAW THAT CAUSES IT TO BREAK APART AND JUST CHEW UP YOUR TRANSMISSION, THIS PART IS A COMMON FAILURE THAT BREAKS AND A FULL REBUILD OF THE TRANSMISSION IS REQUIRED. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS AN ENGINEERING FLAW AND THE NEW PARTS THAT ARE USED TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION ARE RE-ENGINEERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A 6T40 TRANSMISSION, THE BIGGER BROTHER TO THIS TRANSMISSION THE (6T70 AND 6T75) HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ENGINEERING FAILURE. CHEVY KNOW ABOUT THIS FAILURE BUT IS NOT RECALLING THE TRANSMISSION AND REFUSES TO FIX IT. IT COST ME 2500 DOLLARS AND ITS A DRIVING HAZARD WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS A DOCUMENTED FAILURE AND HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

CRUISE CONTROL WHEN ENGAGED MAINTAINS THE SPEED BUT WHEN CLIMBING A HILL THE RPM'S WON'T SHIFT THE CAR AND THEN ONCE THE CAR REACHES THE SET SPEED IT STILL WON'T SHIFT . THE SET SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROLS WON'T STAY WHEN DECENDING DOWN A HILL BUT WILL INCREASE WITH SPEED AND WON'T MAINTAIN THE SPEED YOU SET IT AT. THIS IS BAD FOR THE ENGIN AND TRANSMISSION AS WHEN YOU DE ACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROLS THE CAR SHIFTS GEARS .

MY CAR ONLY HAS 95897 MILES ON IT AND THEIRS SOMETHI G WRONG WITH THE ENGIN TRANSMISSION ... CARS BEEN WELL TAKEN CAR OF AND WHEN YOU CLIMB HILLS IT LOOSES POWER AND HAS A HARD TIME CLIMBING THE HILL.

I WAS DRIVING AND THEN CAME TO A STOP TO PULL ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WHEN I TURNED ON THE HIGH WAY MY MALIBU WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, AS A SEMI PULLED UP BEHIND ME I HAD TO PUT IT ALMOST IN A DITCH SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT. MY MECHANIC SAYS ITS THE 3,5,R WAVE PLATE AND THAT HE LOOKED AT ALL THE MALIBU FORUMS ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. NEVER BUYING A CHEVY AGAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS WAS AS I WAS TURNING, SO IT CAUSED QUITE A BIT OF PANIC. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A ONE-TIME ISSUE, HOWEVER 2 MONTHS LATER, I AM DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND TAKING A TURN WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN THIS ISSUE CAUSED ME TO BE IN A UNSAFE SITUATION, LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS. I AM A FEMALE THEREFORE CANNOT GENERATE THE EFFORT NEEDED TO TURN THE WHEEL WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT.
