Seat beltsMay 8, 2015
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured April 8, 2010, to October 11, 2012. In the affected vehicles, the flexible steel cables that connect the seat belts to the vehicle at the outside of the driver seat and the front passenger seat may be bent from being sat on while entering the vehicle. This repeated bending may result in the cable breaking.
If the cable breaks, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the outboard lap anchor mounting bracket and inspect the flexible steel cable, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 16, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 15031.

SteeringJul 21, 2014
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.

MY HUSBAND NOTICED THIS PROBLEM A FEW DAYS AGO. WE DRIVE THE CAR EVERYDAY TO AND FROM WORK. ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY MY HUSBAND ASKED IF THE SEAT USUALLY LIFTS A CERTAIN WAY LIKE THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DRIVER SEAT LIFTS LAST, AND IT KIND OF TILTS TO THE RIGHT. SO I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND I WORK ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES FROM HOME AND THE SEAT STARTED TO SHIFT FRONTWARD AND BACKWARD ON THE RIGHT SIDE THIS IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND IT FEELS A BIT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THE SEAT LIKE THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW AND WHY THIS HAPPENED. AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR SINCE DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

Air bags, Jul 20, 2015
AIRBAG SENSOR GOES OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE I PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT APPEARS I WAS SOLD A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY WIRING. THIS POSES A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AIRBAG CLAIMING IT TO BE SOMETHING THAT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT I SHOULD ABSORB THE COST TO REPAIR IT. LUCKILY, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT THAT ONE SHOULD OCCUR; THE CHANCES OF THE AIRBAG FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ARE SLIM TO NIL.

SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2014, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY MALIBU HAVE REPEATEDLY GONE OUT. THE LATEST TWO INCIDENTS IN MARCH 2015 (PASSENGER SIDE) AND JUNE 2015 (DRIVERS SIDE) HAVE RESULTED IN THE SOCKET BURNING OUT. THERE IS A FORUM WHERE MANY DRIVERS HAVE NOTED THIS SAME ISSUE. I WAS TOLD IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE HARNESS AND THAT IT IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD LEAD TO A VERY BAD SITUATION. I'VE CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO CHEVY BUT THEY CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NO PRIOR COMPLAINTS WHICH I FIND HARD TO BELIEVE. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE ISSUE BECAUSE OF HOW THEY HAVE CONSTRUCTED THE VEHICLE. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE.
