2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU Electrical System Problems

Hybrid Power train issues. Haven't drove the car for more than a week and a half. Apparently was fixed but obviously was not. Could be the gcm or generator

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced several electrical failures, causing a loss of power and the vehicle to stall. The vehicle also lost power steering and braking functionality. While inspecting under the hood, the contact discovered that the battery terminals were extremely hot to the touch. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 60,000.

While driving my 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, the electrical system intermittently fails: the radio shuts off, the instrument cluster goes blank (gauges drop to zero, fuel/temperature show empty), headlights flicker off then on, and turn-signal indicators disappear. Warning messages such as “Service Theft” and “No Key Detected” appear, power steering becomes difficult, and the vehicle shakes, stalls, or even turns off completely at stop signs. Sometimes the engine continues running even after the car is shut off, overheating and producing a burnt smell. These failures began months ago, occur unpredictably, and have been witnessed by an independent shop. The loss of lights, steering, and cluster data creates a serious safety hazard, and the vehicle is available for inspection.

my power steering intermittently 'locks"Cannnot remove key from ignition.Car loses its data memory, time &date go haywire. A lot of times car wont start.I have taken it a few times to my mechanic. He has run scans, but all the codes are clear.This is the problem.He has checked the Battery&Altenator, all fine.He tried cleaning some ground wires. He feels bad charging me money because he cant fix a problem that he doesnt see.!! When the car is in the shop,the intermittent problem is not evident.!!! Very frustrating.

While my daughter has been driving our 2013 Chevrolet Malibu 2013, the vehicle continues to experience add loss of electric power. The dashboard display and infortainment system went down black. The problem first began -2019-2020 and continues to recur about once or twice a month. The most recent incident occurred on September 18, 2025, with my daughter behind the wheel. An independentc mechanic confirmed that cause is a manufacturer's defect in the fuse box located near the battery. He stated this is a widespread issue and refused to repair it, advising Chevrolet should address it. Chevrolet Waldorf kept my car for over a month but only replaced the battery, could find the issue, which did not resolve the defect. This recurring failure creates a serious safety risk to the driver, passenger, and others on the road because the car can lose power and steering at anytime. This issue was he subject of prior NHTSA complaint I submitted in 2020 (ID 11315997), and it has continued despite the report. Everytime this defect occurs with Chevrolet Malibu 2013... my family's safety, and the safety of others on the road is placed in jeopardy. GM must be held accountable to correct this ongoing safety defect beforer more lives are placed at risk, and NHTSA's response wil demonstrate where consumer safety is being prioritized or neglected. The upload PDF shows the name BUTTERFLIES (is me asking questions) in a malibu forum date 2021.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving at 55 MPH, the "Service Battery Charging System" message was displayed, followed by the battery warning being illuminated. Simultaneously, the Service Stabili-trak, power steering, and ABS messages were displayed. The vehicle immediately lost steering assist, and the steering wheel became firm, and while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to slow down as intended. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road. Subsequently, the headlights turned off, the interface shut off, and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the alternator was running at 11 volts instead of 13 volts. The mechanic determined that both the alternator and the GCM (Generator Control Module) needed to be replaced; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 260,000.

I I took the car to get a smog and it didn't pass due to battery pack malfunction which leads to the alternator going out and drain the battery causing the vehicle to stall even turning off at times and the most dangerous part is it could cause a fire in the backseat and the trunk this is what the technician at the small place told me he said it's very dangerous and I need to get rid of the vehicle or fix it and there is a recall but when I put my VIN number it shows no recall but if I look up the year make and model of my vehicle it shows that every call is for that exact problem

My instrument cluster is failing

Out of no where my car would not start. I got it jumped and took it to an auto store and they checked the battery and alternator health and it all came back great. I was able to drive it home from there and two hours later it wouldn’t start again

The instrument cluster temporarily shorts out or goes blank and them comes back on and resets in a different display mode. There are various display modes having different information such as mph, fuel efficiency, etc. Several repair shops tell me that in order to diagnose the problem, the cluster has to be exhibiting the problem when they look at it. In other words, it has to be a continuous short out. It's not continuous, it's temporary and sporadic or random. This is a direct safety issue in that the driver has no reading on the vehicle speed and when the short out becomes long term or permanent the car will have to be driven with no reading of speed or engine monitoring parameters such as temperature and oil pressure. New clusters are no longer available and rebuilt requires shipping the existing cluster for exchange. This is a common problem, as documented through Google search. Concerning the vehicle speed question below, anywhere from 0 to 70 mph.

My instrument cluster isn't working correctly. Some days I go out to start my car and the instrument cluster works. As I'm driving down the road my instrument cluster just stops working. My speedometer doesn't work, my rpms, the lights, temperature gauge and gas gauge just stops working. It's very scary and my transmission doesn't want to shift and my engine power is bogging down. This is really dangerous and I feel like my life is in danger. I pull off the road and shut my 2013 Chevy Malibu off and restart it and sometimes it comes back on and instrument cluster works but start driving and the instrument cluster stops working again. I have had my mechanic try to figure it out but so far I haven't been able to find out where the issue is so I haven't been able to fix it. My brakes have also been not engaging properly. I have had to replace my brakes 3 times so far after I got the brakes fixed for the 3rd time I haven't had very many problems. I also had to replace all my hubs as well as the brakes. Also something electrical isn't functioning correctly and when I shut my car off it makes a clicking noise right after I turn my car off. I'm a member of a Chevy Malibu group and there are thousands of people from all over the world with the same issues that I'm having with my vehicle. No warning lights have came on for any of the problems I'm having with my car. Please look into this and help me,us that are having these issues Thank you for your time. The next question of what date I can't really answer because it's been multiple dates. The question below about what mph I was going I can't answer because my mph wasn't working.

Without any warning and while driving the MALIBU 2LT goes into engine reduced power mode and will not excel over 50mph. NEXT, the Service stable track warning light would come on intermittently and disable traction control. This is very dangerous. Also the MALIBU 2LT will jerk at the wheel without warning when the power steering warning comes on. Additionally, power steering fluid does not have a measuring device to see when it falls below the required amount needed. It’s basically a guessing game that costs over $120.00 to have checked with no real resolve .

On the backside of instrument gauge cluster the soldering goes bad and seems to be a common problem with this year of Malibu.You lose all function and lighting of cluster while driving so you have no speedometer, fuel or temperature gauges and it goes black. I would consider this a factory defect if the solder does not hold up. It can be very dangerous for the driver. The cluster would go on and off for awhile but fails to work at all now.

5/31/23, while driving uphill, car shuttered as I was slowing down at stop sign and displayed "Service Stabilitrak" & "Engine power reduced" which caused the car engine power to drop drastically. I was barely able to make it home safely with my children. On 6/1/23 tried to crank it, first time it wouldn't turn over, second time it started up. Check engine lights and messages still on, radio screen completely black (has gone out multiple times at random over past two years). Drove around the block with half power. On 6/2/23, attempted to crank three times, never turned over. Popped the hood to discover negative battery terminal severely coroded. While cleaning terminal, find battery cables possible faulty. Upon research, discovered how many thousands of others have the exact same issue, GM refuses to acknowledge to release a recall for those like me who can't afford hundreds wasted having anyone even looking at it, much less paying for guesstimating the wrong solution. So now I'm stranded along with my children, and don't have any resources to hope for a solution in the near future.

My 2013 Chevy Malibu Eco 2LT has 120,000 miles on it. I purchased the vehicle at 68,000 miles from the only owner of the car. I have had the car 6 years and kept up on all maintenance. While I was driving in a 45mph zone my vehicle’ s interior lighting started flashing. My dash flashed then said service stability track, car went blank then back on said service power steering flashed again and said service battery charging system and then went completely dead. When I got to the bottom of the hill to turn off main road my brakes had locked up in the rear and I had no power steering and wheel locked could not turn wheel. Vehicle would not allow me to shift into neutral so I could be pushed out of traffic and I had no flashers or any power. Battery was 1year old. My biggest concern is that the vehicle never alerted me with a service engine light. There was no indication that my alternator was not responding. And mechanics and dealership service shop are wanting thousands of dollars for possible parts and labor without a clear idea of what the exact issue is. I believe that this issue was recalled but since my vehicle was not manufactured in a specific state was never repaired. I believe that my GCM has a malfunction that was to be replaced and reprogrammed with the appropriate software!!

The Dash board instrument cluster is turning on and off randomly. loosing steering control due to electronic steering. Mechanics cant find a problem and seems to be common with this year Malibu. wont replicate at Mechanics completely random. Just had a new battery installed also and Mechanics say everything is within specs. No warning on this it just happens. 83000 miles on car and it happened about a year ago once and last two weeks several times. The front passenger seat got some water on it and the presence sensor must have deactivated the air bag system. Much to sensitive to be reliable.

Driving the vehicle it just shuts off, the will cause an accident driving down the road. It’s a major issue with shutting off an the ignition switch at that. I can’t drive it it’s parked. Along with the engine. My mechanic told me these are the troubles there should be a recall on these cars.

The gauge cluster in my car has intermittently lost power for about two years. It is now almost always off. I have been unable to have this repaired as the parts have been unavailable nationwide since I initially started having problems. I can't see any of my gauges. I have no idea how much gas I have, if my car is overheating, or if my car is having any other sort of problem.

I was driving down a busy street one day after work during the early night, and as I went to engage the brakes my whole electrical system started to shut off and on. Once I came to a complete stop it shut off my a/c then proceeded with my radio and lights. I took my foot of the brake in pure shock and back on come my a/c and radio. I proceed to drive with caution and again it starts to try and shut off my vehicles electrical systems. I pull over turn the car off check the battery and fine. Trusting it to make it less than the mile trip left home I drive again no issues, as I am approaching a busy intersection then car begins to go haywire with the electrical systems without the ac on and locks the all eletric steering systems and almost causes me to collide with surrounding traffic. Took to have diagnostic run for codes and none. Purchased another brand new battery which I thought maybe it was defective. Well wasn't NY of the issues because tonight with my family's safety put at serious risk along with any of the many tourist pedestrians and other motorist I experience the same exact thing but within a higher speed limit zone. When I pulled over to park the car it refused to cooperate. It was if my car was being controlled by a hacker and I was fighting for control over the wheel.

Car starts idling up and down while stopped at light. When the car is given the gas to go it will not pick up speed it stalls and car completely turns off in drive. While parked in parking lot I put the car in reverse and it would not move and that has happened 5 times. The engine light comes on and I have taken it to 4 different mechanics to put the diagonstic test on it and it comes up with idle sensor, change it and 2 days later car starts jerking and will not go over 35mph and finally dies. While driving 55mph on the hwy the car looses speed and wont go over 35 mph. Nobody is allowed to drive this car until chevy fixes it, and it will sit in my yard until then because my family is more important than a piece of metal. I wont sell it because of this danger either. I crank it up every month but it has not been driven in 2 years.

My driver seat is powered and it is inoperative. It remains stuck in a reclined position. At first the seat would not return to an upright position but all the other power functions (reclining the seat, moving it forward and back, tilting the seat, moving it up/down) still worked. I took the car to a shop and they said that the cause was some of the wiring had disconnected. They took the seat out and made sure everything was plugged in correctly. The seat worked again but only for a short while. Now, the issue is present again and the driver seat will not move forward/back or return to an upright position. This is hazardous because the seat is not able to offer the driver the correct seating position to drive.

Car gives engine power reduced warning and then drastically loses speed. Another warning saying engine over speed comes up and the car is unable to accelerate at safe speeds. This is dangerous because I can easily be rear ended by this malfunction especially when driving on the highway. I have children and having them at risk of being in a motor vehicle accident due to a malfunctioning car does not sit well with me. I have seen this issue reported on several other platforms. When I took the car to the dealership regarding this issue I was told I needed to replace the battery but 2 batteries later and I’m still having the same issue. There is no warnings or signs prior to this malfunction happening, it is unpredictable and at random, making it that more dangerous. I would also like to add that this has happened a repeated number of times, it is not an isolated incident. But as of late it has been occurring more frequently.

I brought my 2013 Malibu LT in March of 2021. When I test drove and took it to autozone to get a diagnosis before buying the car nothing was wrong with it. After having the car for about 3 months the problems started. When I went to get it checked again it said that my alternator wasn’t working correctly how it should do I replaced the alternator. After getting the alternator replaced my car still stalls while driving and acts like it doesn’t want to go. When I try to start my car it barely turns over to start. While I’m driving I can’t turn on the radio or lights because it makes my car power go out. The radio lights turn on and off. When I put car in reverse it shuts off. When I’m driving the car shuts off out of nowhere and I have to put it in park and turn it back on. Sometimes it takes awhile to turn back on. When it first happened the engine reduced power popped up as a warning then the engine light came on the dashboard on and off. Everyone says they don’t know what is wrong with it so I feel that the manufacturer should be reliable to fix these problems for us customers. These problems put my child and I at risk by stopping out of nowhere in traffic. I’m currently pregnant and it happened with me and my kids in the car.

Both low beam headlights stopped working. Two days later the passenger side low beam headlight turned on again, but not the driver side. 2 months later both low beams again no longer working. I've replaced all 4 fuses (interior and exterior), headlight relay, and bulbs. None of that fixed the problem.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked and turned off with the key in the ignition, the vehicle started up independently.

When driving my dash lights quit for days and then sometimes come back on. I am not aware of what speed I am going when driving. I am not able to accurately drive the speed limit that I am suppose to. I don’t know how much gas I have or if I am about to run out of gas. If my check engine light is on or not, and can’t see my turn signals. How can you obey the laws of driving when you can’t tell if you are going over the speed limit or not or using your turn signal.

When driving this vehicle with ~111,000 miles on it. The infotainment center continually rebooted, causing drops of Bluetooth connection and pauses in the AC. The instrument panel stayed working, but lights turned off. This happened about 6 times in a 20 minute drive on the highway. After exiting the highway and executing a turn the reboot happened again, however the power steering locked up making the car unmanageable. Thankfully nothing was hit by the car! After this incident, driver was rightfully freaked out and won't touch the car again until this is resolved. One week prior the car rebooted once and the engine idled oddly, turned car off and on and worked fine for about a week, then the above incident happened.

ALL ELECTRICAL INSIDE CAR GOES OUT OR ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL DASH GAUGES, SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, RADIO, HEAT/AC, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. CAR STILL RUNS BUT NOTHING ON INSIDE WORKS. I do not know if this control outage effects the ABS or Steering. It only last for a few seconds. It has happened several time will drive 50 to 70 MPH. I've let off the gas and try not to panic. Everything comes back on and I continue home. I'm scared to drive my car

Instrument cluster goes out and is available for inspection. It first went out in the middle of driving 80 on the freeway with others in my vehicle. I have taken it to a Point S mechanic who has confirmed the issue and can be easily recreated just by turning the car on. Nobody has inspected other than a mechanic because I did not know that was even an option. No, there was absolutely no warning to indicate the issue, only the check engine light would work and that issue has been temporarily resolved. Due to research, I, along with many others, have come to the conclusion that it is a fault in manufacturing where one of the resisters in the cluster was not soldered correctly causing a failure in connection. I believe there should have been a recall on the equipment, especially seeing as how common this issue is and that the product isn't even made/sold anymore. It is upsetting to see the ratio of 2 investigations compared to over 700 complaints.

Car is stuck in heat. Sometimes the controls come on by themselves and hard to turn off. Heat does not defrost the window it sometime make it worse and hard to see while driving. Was told that it is not the compressor but the wiring and programming of the control system. A recall for other years have been issued for similar issues. This is the third report filed.

my whole dash board went out why i was driving could not see my speed or how much gas i have nothing was coming up

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, VEHICLE HAS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. BECAUSE IT IS AN ECO ENGINE, I ASSUMED IT WAS SIMPLY IDLING DOWN, WHILE STATIONARY A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, AS USUAL BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES THE VEHICLE SHUTOFF WAS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND DRIVE THROUGH LANES. AND THEN THE VEHICLE SHUTOFF WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. SHORTLY AFTER THAT INCIDENT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE CAR HAS STILL HAD TO BE JUMPED OFF THREE TIMES SINCE THE REPLACEMENT. AND WHEN I HAD THOSE CODES REPAIRED, NOW THE VEHICLE DRIVES AS IF IT ISN'T GETTING GAS AND THEN ALL OF SUDDEN IT WILL JERK AND ACCELERATE QUICKLY. LASTLY, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE USED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE PEDAL WILL SUDDENLY GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD, THEN COME AND TIGHTEN TO POINT I CAN BARELY PRESS THE BRAKES. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THE MECHANICS DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS CAUSING THAT ISSUE TO OCCUR.

I BOUGHT THIS 2013 MALIBU IN FEBRUARY 2014. IN 2016 IT STARTED WITH THE MANY ISSUES. THE HYBRID SYSTEM WHEN STOPPED AT STOP SIGN OR LIGHT WOULD DIE. THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY DIE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THAT LEAD TO THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT. EVERY CODE ON THE DASH BOARD WOULD COME ON. THEN THE BATTERY WOULD JUST COMPLETELY DIE AND NEED TO BE JUMPED. IT WOULD RUN OK FOR A FEW DAYS THEN BE DEAD THE NEXT. MORE AND MORE THE BATTERY WOULD COMPLETELY BE DEAD EVERY FEW DAYS. HAD TWO NEW BATTERIES INSTALLED AND IT WOULD TEST FINE USUALLY. SEEMED THAT SOMETHING WAS DRAINING IT SOMEHOW. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER MANY TIME AND COULD NEVER GET A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. FINALLY IN NOVEMBER 2019 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT COMPLETELY DIED AND WOULD NOT TAKE A CHARGE (JUMP). STRANDED ON THE HIGH I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO COYLE CHEVROLET ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE A HYBRID MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT. THEN HAD IT TOWED TO BACHMAN CHEVROLET ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME AFTER HAVING IT FOR TWO WEEKS THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. EITHER THEY NEEDED TO DISASSEMBLE IT TO FIND THE PROBLEM OR I WOULD NEED TO GET A NEW ENGINE FOR $7,000. I HAD A CLAIM WITH GM BUT THEY ALSO JUST GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND. THE CAR ITSELF IS ONLY WORTH $3,500-$4,500. I STILL WAS PAYING ON THE LOAN FOR IT ALSO. NOT ONLY HAVE I NOT HAD A CAR SINCE NOVEMBER I HAVE A CAR THAT WON'T START AND CAN NOT TRADE IN ON ANOTHER CAR. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES NO RECALLS ARE ON THE CAR FOR THEM. VERY FRUSTRATING SITUATION I DEALT WITH FOR A FEW YEARS WITH THE CAR AND NO SOLUTION FOR A FIX. I LOVED THAT CAR AND CHEVY BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THEM. NEED TO INVEST IN ANOTHER MODEL I GUESS.

MY 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU HEADLIGHTS SPECIFICALLY THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT, I'VE REPLACED THE BULB, AND EVENTUALLY I HAD THE WIRING INSIDE FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS EXPOSED. I BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND NEVER REALIZED UNTIL RECENTLY THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRES THAT LEAD TO THE BULB SOCKET WERE CUT AND THEN TWIST TIED BACK TOGETHER AND WRAPPED IN ELECTRICAL TAPE, INSTEAD OF HAVING A COMPLETE RUBBER TUBE COVER AROUND THE OUTSIDE AND BEING ONE CONTINUOUS UNCUT PIECE THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. SO I HAD SOMEONE AT A CAR SHOP TRY TO FIX IT BUT NOW THE LIGHT IS GOING ON AND OFF AGAIN. I'VE SEEN MANY CHEVROLET VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT OUT WHILE THE LEFT ONE CONTINUES TO WORK FINE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF REPORTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM BY MANY OTHER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND A COSTLY SAFETY HAZARD. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE.

I PURCHASED A 2013 CHEVY MALIBU 53,000 MILES IN OCTOBER OF 2018 FROM BOB PULTE CHEVROLET. THE CAR RAN GREAT UNTIL ALMOST A YEAR TO THE DATE OF PURCHASE, AT 72,534 MILES, ISSUES BEGAN. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, FOOT ON BRAKE, I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASHBOARD AND NOTICED THE RPM NEEDLE HAD DROPPED TO 0 & THE CAR HAD STALLED.I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO START THE CAR. IT SOUNDED AS IF IT DIDN'T WANT TO START BUT ULTIMATELY DID. I CONTINUED DRIVING AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT THE NEXT RED LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP WHICH WAS FIRESTONE, TO HAVE IT CHECKED & WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY NEEDED REPLACED. THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE CAR STALLED AS IT HAD 1ST TIME & THEN SPORADICALLY AGAIN AND AGAIN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN & WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. EACH TIME THE CAR STALLED IT WAS DIFFICULT TO START AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DIFFERENT FIRESTONE FOR A FRESH SET OF EYES. THIS TIME THE CAR STALLED WHEN THEIR TECHNICIAN DROVE THE CAR. A FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING WAS RECOMMENDED & DONE. THE NEXT SUGGESTION WAS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. WHEN THE CAR DOES STALL I WOULD LOSE POWER TO EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE RADIO. THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF, DOORS STAY LOCKED & THE CAR CANNOT BE STEERED.I NEXT TOOK THE CAR TO THE BOB PULTE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP & DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH THEM. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS, THEY ADVISED THE CAR DID NOT STALL WHEN THEY DROVE IT, THERE WERE NO CODES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON & WITHOUT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AT WORK, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. I CALLED BOB PULTE AGAIN-THEY SAID THEY WOULD UPDATE THE ECM MODULE AND REPROGRAM THE THROTTLE BODY AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT - BELIEVING FIRESTONE WAS UNABLE TO DO IT. THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL.

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO GENESIS CHEVROLET TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT A GOOD 4 TO 5 HOURS. THEY THEN CAME AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CARE BECAUSE, NO CODES WHERE POPPING UP AND THE MECHANIC TRIED 4 TIMES BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SITUATION I WAS HAVING.

THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND THE LAST TIME I WAS PULLING INTO APPLE VALLEY MOTORS IN MARTINSBURG WV PARKING LOT, LOST POWER AND HIT THE CURB AND BLEW OUT A TIRE BECAUSE I LOST POWER STEERING. THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON CHEVY MALIBU FORUM. COM FINALLY SOMEONE SUGGESTED THAT WE SHOULD REPORT THE PROBLEM HERE. I HAVE HAD TO PUT 3 BATTERIES IN THE YEAR THAT I OWNED IT. NOT ONLY THIS BUT THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE BOTH WENT BAD AT THE SAME TIME. I ONLY HAVE 86K ON IT. I CONTACTED BOTH GM AND CHEVY AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND NEITHER ONE WILL ASSIST ME. THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER BUT IN THE END THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE ALL WARRANTIES HAVE EXPIRED. ( THEY EXPIRED BECAUSE OF THE DATE, I AM STILL UNDER THE MILEAGE PORTION OF THE WARRANTY) AS OF RIGHT NOW MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP, GM/CHEVY OR THE THIRD PARTY WARRANTY THAT EXPIRED 8 DAYS AFTER THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT HELP EITHER. LUCKILY I ONLY HIT A CURB AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN THE CITY WHILE I AM IN MOTION. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT AT HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY IN THE TRUNK DURING THE FIRST 30 DAYS THAT I OWNED IT. THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM OR NOT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS APP 4 MONTHS AGO AND HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES SINCE THEN.

TURNED THE CENTER SCREEN TO THE VOLT METER TO WATCH THE CAR SLOWLY DRAIN THE NEW BATTERY. THE VOLTAGE WOULD GO DOWN, THEN GO UP, BUT NEVER AS FAR AS IT WAS BEFORE THE DECLINE. PULLED THE CAR INTO A SUPERCENTER PARKING LOT AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING, ALL POWER BRAKES, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, THANK GOODNESS I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. AT 80 MPH THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO CONTROL. WE HAD JUST ENOUGH ENGINE TO LIMP THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE AND AVOID GETTING HIT BY OTHER CARS IN THIS BUSY PARKING LOT. BOUGHT NEW BATTERY TESTER, NEW BATTERY, AND TOOLS TO THE SUM OF $250.00 MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS IN PARKING LOT. I HAD NO CHOICE, WE WERE STRANDED FAR FROM HOME IN 97 DEG. HEAT. TURNED NORTH TO HEAD HOME, WHILE WATCHING THE CAR DEVOUR A BRAND NEW BATTERY.

WORRIED THE CAR WAS GOING TO SHUT DOWN ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 80 MPH. HOPING THE STEERING WOULD NOT GO OUT WITH OUT WARNING AGAIN. THE SCARIEST SITUATION I HAVE EVER BEEN IN, THERE WAS NO WHERE FOR US TO GO IF IT DID. MADE IT TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE, JUST TO FIND OUT THAT IN 85 MILES THE CAR HAD DRAINED THE NEW BATTERY WE GOT A JUMP START AND LIMPED TO A LOCAL HOTEL. ONCE AGAIN HAVING TO PULLOUT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, AND NO WAY HOME. WE CALLED A FAMILY MEMBER AND THEY SET OFF ON THE 5 HR DRIVE TO COME TOW US HOME.

I FEAR THAT DRIVING WITH MY INFANT ONE DAY THAT THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER OR SHUT DOWN OR WORSE, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO MYSELF, MY CHILD OR OTHER DRIVERS. CURRENT MILAGE IS 76,500.

A FEW TIMES THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE CAR TURNING OFF AND LOSING POWER STEERING AND CONTROL WHILE IN MOTION. THE WHOLE CAR TURN OFF AND WHEEL LOCKS UP, PREVENTING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. COUNTLESS SEARCHING THROUGH FORUMS LED ME TO FIND MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. AND FROM THE FORUMS, MANY CLAIM THE REASON FOR THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENING IS FAULTY BATTERY CABLES THAT GM THAT DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE HAD MY CAR TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN THE CITY. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. IT'S WIDESPREAD AMONG 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU'S. HERE IS A LINK TO ONE OF MANY FORUMS TAKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T33502_DS916791

I AM OR HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS RELATED TO MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR MY 2013 CHEVY MALIBU, YET I WHEN ATTEMPT TO GET THE REPAIRS FOR THE RECALL I'M TOLD THEY'RE AREN'T ANY CONNECTED TO MY VIN. IF THAT'S SO, THEN MY VIN[XXX] AND OTHERS LIKE IT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALLS. MY MALIBU HAS BEEN OR IS EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES BROUGHT UP IN RECALL #'S 50490, 50491, 13136, AND 12212. NOW WHY AM I STUCK HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THINGS THAT ARE KNOWN IN A RECALL. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING TO ME. GOING FORWARD, SHOULD I SUCCEED IN GETTING THIS RECALL ACCEPTED, I DON'T NEED TO HERE THAT IT MAY BE OUT OF WARRANTY. THAT WOULDN'T BE FAIR EITHER. AS THE PRIOR OWNER COULDN'T HAVE HAD THE WORK DONE AS A RECALL BECAUSE THE VIN WASN'T IN THE SYSTEM IN TIME TO BE DONE BEFORE ANY RESTRICTIONS OR WARRANTY EXPIRED.AS I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT, I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE REPAIRS DONE AND WOULD APPRECIATE BEING REIMBURSED FOR ALL EXPENSES INCURRED. AS I WAIT FOR A FAVORABLE RESPONSE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE KEY TURNED IN THE IGNITION; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED AND DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE CAMSHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE PERFORMED NORMALY FOR A WEEK, BUT LATER WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING INTAKE AND EXHAUST FAILED AND NEEDED REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BOTH TIMES. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE WIRING ON THE BATTERY WAS DONE IMPROPERLY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,080.

Mileage: 89,080

I RECENTLY PAID MY VEHICLE OFF AND I AM EXPERIENCING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WENT OUT AND "SERVICE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT IS ON". THERE'S NO CONNECTION. WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING, MY RADIO SCREEN BLACKS OUT. THEN I CAN HIT ANOTHER BUMP AND IT COMES BACK ON. WHEN I PARK, MY IGNITION DOES NOT RELEASE MY KEY. I HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SEVERAL TIMES AND PUT IT IN DRIVE THEN BACK IN PARK SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE. AFTER DOING THIS SEVERAL TIMES MY KEY BROKE OFF IN THE IGNITION AND I WAS STRANDED AND HAD TO WALK HOME OVER TWO MILES. HAS ANYONE ELSE COMPLAINED OF THESE ISSUES WITH THE 2013 MALIBU? I COULDN'T PASS MY RECENT SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO THE BRAKE ISSUE AND I WAS INCONVENIENCED AGAIN AS A RESULT OF THESE ISSUES.

THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY LOSE POWER AND DIE WHILE RUNNING AND IN MOTION. IT STARTS WITH THE RADIO GOING OFF, THEN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST WEEK AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING BELOW 40 MPH

Mileage: 65,000

TAKATA RECALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH KEPT GOING IN AND OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY. WHILE MY CAR WAS OFF, WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE GAUGES WOULD MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS AND BOUNCE UP AND DOWN ABOUT AN 8TH OF AN INCH. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD STAY OFF FOR DAYS AT A TIME, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SEE HOW FAST I WAS GOING OR HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE CAR. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS WOULD CLICK ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD BE STUCK AT THE LAST SPEED I WAS GOING AT, FOR DAYS, WITHOUT SHOWING ANYTHING ON THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET LOOKED AT, NO CODES WERE FOUND. MY CAR KEPT DYING WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WENT AND HAD MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED AND THEY WERE 100% FINE. CAR DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE I WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE. CHECK ENGINE, OIL, WIPER FLUID, GAS LIGHT, EVERYTHING FLASHED ON AND OFF, THEN MY STEERING LOCKED UP, CAUSING ME TO GO OFF OF THE ROAD AND HIT A TREE. MY CAR WAS TOTALED.

THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER WOULD TURN ON/OFF ON IT'S OWN AT RANDOM. AT FIRST THE ISSUE SEEMED TO HAPPEN THE MOST WHEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL TEMPERATURES WERE LOWER. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS NOW COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. NONE OF THE GAUGES OR LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WORK. DUE TO THIS ISSUE, I AM UNABLE TO KNOW MY SPEED, FUEL LEVEL, MILEAGE, TEMPERATURE, BATTERY, ETC. THIS CREATES A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING.

2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAULTY GENERATOR CONTROL MODULS. *LD THE CONSIMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. *JS

DOOR LOCKS ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF AND ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, CAR STARTING WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE (NO REMOTE START). DEALERSHIP REPLACED BCM, COULD NOT GUARANTEE THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM. INDICATED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THE ISSUE BEFORE. WITHIN 2 WEEKS, ALL ISSUES REPEATED THEMSELVES. RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEN CALLED ME AND LEFT A MESSAGE TO PICK IT UP AS THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED BACK, THE DEALERSHIP SAID "IT WAS A GOOD THING YOU HAVEN'T PICKED UP THE VEHICLE YET, IT STARTED ON ITS OWN 3 TIMES THIS MORNING". IF I HAD PICKED THIS VEHICLE UP, THE ISSUE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS AT HOME. CASE HAS BEEN FILED WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CAR, AND SUFS (GM GLOBAL SAFETY). NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. NO ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN SENT DOWN TO LOOK AT THE CAR FROM GM HEADQUARTERS. AFTER THE CAR STARTED ON ITS OWN AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CHANGED OUT THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT AGAIN, CANNOT GUARANTEE THE ISSUES WON'T REOCCUR. CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A THIRD TIME ON MAY 2ND AFTER THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF 3 TIMES ON THE WAY TO WORK ON MAY 1ST. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL MAY 10TH, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE, AND I SHOULD PICK THE CAR UP AS THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM IF THEY DO NOT SEE IT. THE RESPONSE FROM GM HAS BEEN A JOKE. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I CANNOT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT, AND CANNOT PART IT IN MY GARAGE, AS IT COULD START AND CAUSE MY ENTIRE FAMILY TO DIE FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, OR COULD OVERHEAT FROM RUNNING IN PARK WHILE WE ARE SLEEPING AND START A FIRE. I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SELL THE CAR EITHER. SO, I AM STUCK WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE MAY BE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MADE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING REMAINED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN MY 2013 CHEVY MALIBU IS IN MOTION AND SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (MANY BUT NOT ALL TIMES) ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS, INCLUDING THE ELECTRONIC SPEEDOMETER, AND ALL DASHBOARD GAUGES, IN THE CAR STOP WORKING AND NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND BRAKING SYSTEM APPEAR. THE MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF THE CAR STILL SEEM TO WORK FINE, BUT THE NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND BRAKING MAKE ME CONCERNED THAT IT IS NOT SAFE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A YEAR. I HAVE TRIED TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY EITHER CANNOT REPLICATE IT OR THEY WILL "FIX" SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T END UP SOLVING THE PROBLEM. GIVEN THAT THIS PROBLEM STARTED RANDOMLY AND NOT WITH ANY INTERVENTION ON MY PART OF THE PART OF ANY MECHANIC, I AM CONTACTING NHTSA BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT THIS MIGHT BE HAPPENING WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND COULD REPRESENT REAL DANGER IF THIS REALLY IS AFFECTING THE AIRBAG AND BRAKING SYSTEMS (EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT IN USE).

WHEN DRIVING MY MALIBU IT SEEMS TO HAVE A SHORT CIRCUIT WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL EVEN THE SLIGHTEST. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES CHECKED ALL THE WIRES AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE. I HAVE FIGURED OUT EVEN WHEN I'M DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT AND MAKE IT HARD FOR ME TO EVEN TURN. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MALIBU'S EVERYWHERE AND THAT GM IS NOT WILLING TO MAKE IT A NATIONAL RECALL BECAUSE IT MUST BE HAPPENING WHILE THEY SEE THE CAR. SO I GUESS I HAVE TO WAIT FOR ME TO CRASH? TO SEE THAT THE POWER STEERING GAVE OUT ON ME ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE ELECTRICAL WORK ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR.

I DROVE FOUR HOURS TO BUY THIS CAR GET THERE ITS POUR RAIN DO TEST DRIVE AROUND BLOCK BUY CAR GET READY AND LEAVE AND STOP AT GAS STATION CAUSE ITS OUT OF GAS WELL PASSENGER REAR TIRE HAD 5 LBS OF AIR IN IT FILL IT UP GET ON HIGHWAY AND CAR STARTS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY AND IS ALL OVER THE ROAD CAR LOT IS CLOSE AND SO IS RENTAL PLACE SO I DRIVE HOME AND HAVE TEXTED OWNER TO TELL HIM TO GET TOW TRUCK AT MY HOUSE IN MORNING TO PICK IT UP I DIDN'T WANT IT AND HE DID REASON IM WRITING THIS IS I TOLD HIM HOW BAD THIS CAR WAS AND I LOOKED ON THERE SITE AND ITS BACK UP FOR LESS THAN I BOUGHT IT FOR THAT CAR IS WAY TO DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD

Mileage: 102,000

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO OFF. SOMETIMES THEY FLICKER BEFORE GOING OFF BUT ONCE THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES I LOSE POWER IN THE VEHICLE OTHER TIMES I JUST HAVE TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITH NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS, THIS MEANS I CANT SEE HOW FAST I AM GOING, MY GAS GAUGE ETC. THIS CAUSES A BIG RISK FOR ME AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT DOESNT MATTER THE WEATHER EITHER, IT COULD BE RAINING, SNOWING OR SUNNY AND THE DASHBOARD STILL ACTS UP. IT ALSO CAUSES MY BATTERY TO DRAIN WHICH IS BRAND NEW, I ALSO CHECKED ALTERNATOR AND STARTER AND BOTH ARE PERFECT. SOMETIMES THE DASH IS BLANK EVEN RIGHT AT THE START UP OF MY CAR, OTHER TIMES IT GOES OUT AS I AM DRIVING, IT ALSO DOESNT MATTER THE SPEED.

THE CONTACT HAD TO CONSTANTLY PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COYLE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (1801 BROADWAY ST, , IN 47129, (812) 218-1100) AND SERVICED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE SONLY , SONLY BOLT, SONLY GENERATOR, AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR, FLUSHED THE COOLANT, REPLACED COMPRESSOR KIT(2), AND PERFORMED ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. HOWEVER, THE FAILURES STILL OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. .*BP CONSUMER STATED TRANSMISSION WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. CAM-ACTUATORS HAVE DUST WHICH CAUSES A CAR TO FLUTTER OR DIE. CONSUMER TOLD THE MECHANIC THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM THERE ARE OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. AS OF 5/15/19 CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP.*JP

WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED THE WHOLE DASH BOARD WILL CUT OUT COMPLETELY RESULTING IN LOSS OF SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, TEMP GAUGE AND TACH. SOMETIMES IT WILL COME BACK ON SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT FOR DAYS, HAVE TO KEEP A SPEEDOMETER APP ON MY PHONE WHILE DRIVING NOW. GM SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THIS ISSUE AS THEY DO MOST ELECTRICAL ISSUES, I TRADED IN A 2000 IMPALA WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES JUST TO GET ANOTHER GM CAR WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES AT A HIGHER PRICE. I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND NON OF THEM SEEMS TO HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT IT COULD BE WHICH TELLS ME GM IS NOT EVEN TRYING TO FIND A ROOT CAUSE FOR THE ISSUE, THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO LET ME BRING IT IN AND HAVE THE WHOLE SYSTEM LOOKED OVER AT MY COST THOUGH.

I PURCHASED A 2013 CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CHEVROLET MALIBU FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER OF 2014. I WAS SATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE FOR A FEW MONTHS WITH NO ISSUES UNTIL I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL. MY FIRST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE EXITING ONTO A HIGHWAY VIA A CLOVERLEAF. WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE OTHER LANE, AS MY CAR VEERED ACROSS THE LINE, INTO THE OTHER LANE. THE POWER CAME BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE ISSUE. THEY SCANNED THE VEHICLES SYSTEM FOR ERROR CODES, CLEARED THE CODES AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. SINCE THIS INITIAL ISSUE, MY CAR LOSES POWER RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, PARKED, USING MY TURN SIGNAL, TURNING LEFT, TURNING RIGHT, ETC. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, THE DASHBOARD AND VEHICLE DISPLAY MONITOR GO BLACK. SOME INSTANCES IT WILL FLICKER, OTHER TIMES IT WILL SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED FROM MY DRIVEWAY AS I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TURN IT ON AND TOWED FROM A RETAIL PARKING LOT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND A SEPARATE PRIVATELY OWNED GARAGE TWICE, WITH NO RESOLUTION. I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET REGARDING THE ISSUE AND A CASE NUMBER WAS GIVEN TO ME. THEY HAD ME BRING MY CAR TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. AFTER THEIR INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING. I REACHED OUT TO CHEVROLET AGAIN ABOUT A RESOLUTION AND THEY INDICATED THE VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY SO NO REPAIR SUPPORT WILL BE PROVIDED. IF THIS ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED WITHIN THE INITIAL INSPECTION, THE CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED STATUS OF MY VEHICLE MAY HAVE COVERED REPAIRS. MY CONCERN IS THE LARGER IMPACT OF OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND GETTING THE SAME RESPONSE BY GM.

CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT A MECHANIC BECAUSE I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT BEGAN WITH THE RPMS GOING TO 3000-4000 WHEN BARELY PRESSING GAS PEDAL. THE CAR STALLED AFTER PUTTING IT IN REVERSE NEARLY CAUSING ME TO GET HIT, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO WE TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO OUR MECHANIC. THE CODE FOR A BAD CAM SOLENOID WAS LISTED, AND THAT WAS REPLACED. DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK, STILL NOTICING ISSUES WITH RPMS, AND WHEN BRAKING, THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE. JUST HAD TO DROP IT BACK OFF AT MECHANIC BECAUSE WHILE GOING 30MPH, THE CAR WHEN TO 4000 RPMS AND THE 'ENGINE OVERSPEED' LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, AND THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED, THE RPMS WOULD NOT GO BEYOND 2000, AND THE FUEL HAND WENT TO A FULL TANK? THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR WITH 70,000 MILES, AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANKFULLY I'VE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT YET, BUT I'M FEARFUL IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I'LL NOT BE ABLE TO SAY THAT!

WHEN IT FIRST OCCURED I WAS TURNING RIGHT IN A CITY INTERSECTION LOSS OF POWER STEERING LED THE WHEEL TO LOCK AND THIS LACK OF CONTROL ALMOST FORCED ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, I WAS FORCED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTIONS AND RESTART THE CAR TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT CONTINUES TO DISPLAY THIS ISSUE UNTIL I MADE IT TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ALSO DROVE THE VEHICLE AND LOGGED SIMILIAR EXPERIENCES. AFTER THE ISSUE WAS THOUGHT TO BE A LOOSE GROUND IN THE CAR THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RESOLVED.I EMAILED CHEVY MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT MY CONCERNS WONDERING IF THIS WAS A NOTED PROBLEM FOR MY CAR, I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL THEY WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. SINCE IT SEEMED TO BE OKAY I LET IT GO AND CONTINUED. A COUPLE DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING THE CAR EXPERIENCED ANOTHER REOCCURRENCE OF THE INCIDENT WHILE DRIVING THIS TIME ONLY LOSS OF RADIO AND OTHER DISPLAYS. I AGAIN EMAILED CHEVY AND TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP. I STARTED GOOGLING TO FIND ANSWERS WHERE I FOUND MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH 100S OF SIMILAR EXAMPLES AND CHEVY VIA EMAIL STILL CONTINUES TO DENY ISSUES WITH THE MANUFACTURERING OF THE CAR. AFTER 10 DAYS IN THE SHOP, HOUNDING CHEVY FOR ANSWERS I WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE WORD OF A MEMO FROM A LOCAL CHEVY MECHANIC THAT STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MY MODEL/YEAR AND LISTED POTENTIAL FIXES. WHEN I INFORMED CHEVY OF MY ANGER TOWARDS THE MEMO BEING KEPT FROM ME THEY REPLIED THAT I WASN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE THE INFORMATION SINCE I WASN'T A CHEVY MECHANIC.

MY 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS TO DATE. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I HAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. I HAD TO WAIT FOR 10 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE POWER RETURNED AND COULD REMOVE THE KEY OR RESTART THE VEHICLE. ON THE THIRD OCCASION, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONING LOST POWER AND THE CAR WAS THREATENING TO SHUT OFF BUT REGAINED POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL BRIEFLY LOCKED UP DURING THIS EVENT. I LATER TURNED OFF ON THE NEAREST EXIT MAKING A COMPLETE STOP AT THE LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE POWER AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, THE RADIO AND ALL LIGHTS WENT BLACK AND THE AIR SHUT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN CAME BACK ON. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS THEN ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE SLOWING FOR A STOP LIGHT.THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHILE TRYING TO BACK OUT WITH THE CAR STILL IN DRIVE. THERE WERE ALSO A FEW TIMES WHERE THE RADIO WENT BLACK AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP BRIEFLY WHILE MAKING A TURN BUT DID NOT LOOSE POWER. MY DAILY COMMUTE TO WORK REQUIRES ME TO TAKE THE HIGHWAY. I AM TERRIFIED OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN AFTER THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY WHEN I AM TO RETURN TO WORK AND TRAVEL THE HIGHWAY AGAIN.

STEERING ECU, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND CENTER STACK ALL RESET WHILE DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY. THESE INCIDENCE HAVE OCCURRED NUMBEROUS TIMES AND GM DOES NOT KNOW THE ROOT CAUSE. WHEN AN EVENT OCCURS THE DRIVER LOOSES POWER STEERING FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND WHILE STOPPED. GM RELEASED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO CHECK GROUND POINTS ON THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE THIS DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE RELEASED PRODUCTION LEVEL SOFTWARE FOR NUMBEROUS TIER ONE SUPPLIERS THAT HAVE GONE INTO A VARIETY OF ECUS. TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE ALL OF THE BODY CONTROL MODULES HAVE LOST POWER. WHEN CHECKING CAR COMPLAINTS THIS SAME BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN STATED IN OVER 40 REPORTS AND ALL REPORTS STATE GM WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. IF AN INVESTIGATION HAS NOT BEEN LAUNCHED INTO THIS BEHAVIOR I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT BEFORE THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING KILLS SOMEONE.

STARTING IN OCTOBER 23, 2017 GOT IN THE CAR STARTED IT AND IT STARTED BUT DASHBOARD LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME THE DASHBOARD NEVER CAME BACK ON. I GOT IN THE CAR THE NEXT DAY THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON.. I TOOK IT GEORGE MATICK CHEVROLET ON OCTOBER 24, 2017 AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE ANYTHING, THE CAR CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME WITH THE LIGHTS BLINKING ON AND OFF INCLUDING THE SIGNAL LIGHT WHILE DRIVING UNTIL ONE DAY THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY BLACK AND THE BATTERY DIED COMPLETELY DOWN AND I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO GEORGE MATICK CHEVY ON JANUARY 31, 2018. ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE ANYTHING BOOSTED THE CAR AND THAT'S IT. STILL TO THIS DAY THE CAR CONTINUES DOING THE SAME AND THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG. I FEEL UNSAFE AND BELIEVE THIS IS ELECTRICAL AND WONDER IF THE CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE. I ALSO WONDER IF IT WILL START UP EVERY DAY AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I DRIVE IT. EVERY SINGLE DAY IT IS DOING THIS. I KEEP CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THEY BASICALLY ARE SAYING IF THE MACHINE CANNOT DO ANYTHING THEY CANNOT HELP ME. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANOTHER WAY THIS ISSUE CAN BE CHECKED OR IF I HAVE TO TRADE IN A CAR THAT I JUST GOT OVER A YEAR AGO. THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT IN AND KEEP PAYING FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. I AM NO MECHANIC BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATOR LIGHT SIGNALS ETC SHOULD NOT BLINK WHILE DRIVING AND THE DASH SHOULD NEVER GO BLACK WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I AM REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE AND CANNOT GET ANYONE TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU CANNOT SEE YOUR SPEED, GAS LEVEL, ETC. IN ADDITION WHEN SIGNALS ARE BLINKING AND GOING CRAZY FOR NO REASON THE CAR BEHIND ME COULD HIT ME. SO THIS HAPPENS NOW IN MOTION EVERY SINGLE DAY ON STREETS, HIGHWAYS. TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT.

SAFETY RISK: THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. RADIO AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE POWER STEERING FAILS. THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS RANDOMLY BOTH ON HIGHWAYS, STREET DRIVING (STOP-START), WHILE MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AND REVERSING OUT OF PARKING SPACES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (SCHUMACHER CHEVROLET IN CLIFTON, NJ) 3 TIMES AND THEY CLAIM THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON TEST DRIVING. ON THE 1ST VISIT THEY SAID IT WAS THE RADIO AND REPLACED A PART. ON THE 2ND VISIT THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY, WHICH WAS REPLACED YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. MY MALIBU IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND THEY CALLED AND OF COURSE, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IN ADDITION TO THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE, THE "SERVICE FRONT CAMERA" LIGHT WILL DISPLAY AND AFTER THE LAST EVENT, I SELECTED THE VOLTAGE READING ON THE ELECTRONIC DASHBOARD PANEL AND WATCHED THE VOLTAGE METER FLUCTUATE FROM 13.6 TO 14.1 AS I WAS DRIVING, AND IT REMAINED AT 14.9 WHILE STATIONARY. THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I PRAY THAT NO DRIVER GETS HURT BEFORE CHEVROLET TAKES ACTION TO FIGURE THIS PROBLEM OUT. I HAD NO IDEA THAT SO MANY OTHER 2013 VEHICLES WERE SIMILARLY AFFECTED. I AM GOING TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO GENERAL MOTORS AND I HOPE OTHERS CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR INFORMED ME THAT I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND ONSTAR CALLED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IN ORDER TO STOP THE FLASHERS I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. I INFORMED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE BEEN TESTING , CALLING GM, AND REPAIRING FOR 6WEEKS. THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT IS FIXED AND I DRIVE IT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 WEEKS NOW AND IT'S STILL AT THE DEALER. THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR IN ADDITION TO TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS THE CAR WOULD STOP ALL TOGETHER. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR SAFTEY ISSUE TO ME.

PURCHASED CAR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED. FIRST WINTER ENTERTAINMENT DISPLAY AND WARNING LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER RANDOMLY, AND CAR WOULD NOT RELIABLY START. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE SYMPTOMS. THE FOLLOWING WINTER THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN FAILING UPON ENGAGING IT WHILE IN MOTION. FOR EXAMPLE: USING THE THE POWER WINDOWS, ENGAGEMENT OF THE TRACTION CONTROL IN SLIPPERY WEATHER, USING A TURN SIGNAL, WERE ALL CAPABLE OF SHUTTING DOWN ALL ELECTRICAL OPTIONS IN THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING. NEARLY CAUSED A COUPLE ACCIDENTS. THE SERVICE STABILTRAK LIGHT WOULD ALSO COME INTERMITTENTLY COME ON. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THEY CLEARED THE DASH LIGHTS AND RESET A SENSOR THAT WAS SHOWING BAD IN A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN. CAR RAN SMOOTHLY FOR A FEW MONTHS. SHOWED SYMPTOMS AGAIN OVER THE SUMMER(LIGHTS FLICKERING AND LOSS OF TOUCH SCREEN MOMENTARILY). DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE AGAIN. NOW THIS WINTER THE CAR IS COMPLETELY MESSED UP AGAIN, SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS LAST TIME. POWER STEERING LOSS, FULL ELECTRICAL LOSS WHILE IN MOTION, SOMETIMES RANDOMLY, OTHER TIMES AS A DIRECT RESULT OF ENGAGING WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS I DESCRIBED BEFORE. A AAA WORKER NOTICED THE BURNING OF ELECTRICAL CABLE HOUSING COMING FROM THE BATTERY, I POINTED THIS OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DON'T SEEM INTERESTED IN IT. BASED ON THE CONSISTENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND GM SERIOUSLY INVESTIGATED. THEY'VE ALREADY HAD TO SETTLE HUNDREDS OF DEATH LAW SUITS DUE TO THIS EXACT ISSUES THEY CLAIMED WAS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH IN THE COBALT, YET THIS EXACT PROBLEM EXISTS HEAVILY IN OTHER MODELS AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO BE RAMPANT IN 'FIXED' IGNITIONS IN THE COBALTS.

MY 2013 CHEVY MALIBU HAS BEEN HAVING POWER AND/OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HAVE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS OF TIMES, BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING. WHEN I STEER LEFT OR RIGHT, MY CAR POWERS DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. SOME TIMES THE CAR RADIO SCREEN AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHES ON & OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AND POWER OFF ON ITS OWN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BUT THAT IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE RIGHT NOW. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON AND I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES.

MY MALIBU'S DASHBOARD WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. NO SPEED, ODOMETER READINGS, FUEL, TEMPERATURE OR DIGITAL SPEED DISPLAY WORKS. IT WILL COME ON AND WORK FINE BUT WILL RANDOMLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES DURING START UP THE DASH WILL NOT EVEN START UP WITH THE CAR. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE TO FIX. I HAVE NO AFTERMARKET PARTS ON THIS CAR AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT'S SON PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED 8-10 SECONDS. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE CONTACT'S SON WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK AND BACK HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SERPENTINI CHEVROLET OF STRONGSVILLE, 15303 ROYALTON RD, STRONGSVILLE, OH 44136), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER (PAT O'BRIEN CHEVROLET SOUTH, 3880 PEARL RD, MEDINA, OH 44256) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN AFTER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 866-790-3600 AND STATED THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. CASE NUMBER: 8-314031920 WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THIS 2013 CHEVY MALIBU IS LIKE A METAL DEATH TRAP, IN MY OPINION. I'M NOTICING A LOT MORE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CAR (AS I'M DRIVING) WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF; THE RADIO WILL FIRST SHUT OFF, MY DASHBOARD WILL GO BLACK, AND MY STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP. USUALLY I CAN TELL WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE WHEN I'M AT A LIGHT, I CAN JUST SEE THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD FLICKERING, SO IF I HAVE TIME, I WILL TURN IT ON AND OFF REAL QUICK. SOMETIMES WHEN I DO THAT THOUGH, MY CAR WON'T TURN BACK ON. BUT, WHEN IT DOES WORK, IT'S JUST A TEMPORARY FIX AND WILL START AGAIN ONCE I START TO DRIVE. THIS WILL HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. I WILL TRY TO TURN, AND MY STEERING WHEEL WILL JUST LOCK WHERE I CANNOT CONTROL MY CAR AS I'M DRIVING. SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65-70 MPH, I CAN'T CONTROL MY CAR FOR 5-10 SECONDS, LET'S JUST SAY IT'S ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS THAT YOU CAN HAVE WHILE OPERATING A VEHICLE. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED, I ALMOST HIT A MAN ON HIS BICYCLE. I'VE CALLED CHEVY, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. APPARENTLY THERE'S NO OPEN RECALLS OR BULLETINS FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I TAKE IT TO GET IT CHECKED, THEY CAN NEVER FIND AN ISSUE. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED FOR CHEVY TO ADDRESS THIS?

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT CONSIDERING THIS ISSUE. LOSS OF POWER STEERING, RADIO GOES BLACK, GAUGE CLUSTER GOES BLACK. SINCE MY LAST COMPLAINT THIS HAS OCCURRED NO LESS THAN 15 TIMES WITH TWO VERY CLOSE ACCIDENTS. THIS IS BECOMING A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE. AND I PLEAD WITH YOU TO OPEN A RECALL THANK YOU. IT HAS NOW OCCURRED ON BOTH CITY ROADS AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED.

THIS IS MY SECOND REPORT. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING AND THE ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER GOES DARK. ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK TODAY. IT HAPPENED TWICE TODAY AND ONCE YESTERDAY. THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE KEY WAS PLACED IN THE IGNITION, BUT FAILED TO TURN OVER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM LOCKED UP. AS A RESULT, THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED AND THE CONTACT BECAME LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO EXIT THROUGH THE TRUNK. THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI-THEFT FAILED TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED.

CAR IS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO GO BAD. WHEN THE BATTERY GOES BAD THE WHOLE CAR STARTS ACTING UP; LOSE POWER STEERING, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, DASH LIGHTS FLICKER UNTIL TURNED OFF, IN DASH SCREEN TURNS OFF BEFORE CAR DIES. AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR THREE MONTHS LATER MY BATTERY WENT BAD (CAR STARTED ACTING FUNNY AND GRADUALLY DECLINED IN QUALITY OVER A WEEK'S TIME) I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND NOW 2 YEARS LATER THE BATTERY IS BAD AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR TO BE IN AS THE WHOLE CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, INTERSTATE, PARKING LOT AND CITY STREET. TWO DIFFERENT BATTERIES SHOULD NOT GO BAD BEFORE THERE LIFE TIME. I BELIEVE THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CAR ITSELF AND ALSO THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE DESIGNED FOR THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND REMAIN SOLELY ON THE NORMAL BATTERY.

Mileage: 65,000

THE RADIO SHUTS OFF. THE CLIMATE CONTROL GOES HAYWIRE. AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHLE THE CAR IS STOPPED. BUT READING ALL THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THERE ARE FATALITIES.

WHILE DRIVING MY CHEVROLET 2013 MALIBU LTZ MY STABILTRACK LIGHT AND SERVICE POWER STEERING PUMP LIGHT CAME ON MY DASH IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS ANY WHERE FROM ZERO TO THIRTY MILES PER HOUR THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY LOSE ENGINE POWER AND WILL STALL BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL STAY ON BUT THE HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT MAKING THE VEHICLE HARD TO TURN. THE CAR DIES JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME I AM EITHER ACCELERATING FROM 0 MPH TO ANY LOW SPEED UNLESS I SLAM ON THE GAS PEDAL. IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC IM RESTARTING MY MALIBU EVERY 3 SECONDS AFTER IT DIES. IT'S IS SO DANGEROUS IF I HAVE TO TURN AND THEIR IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAUSE THE CAR COULD JUST DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN AND BE SMASHED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS ON THE STREET ON THE HIGHWAY ANYWHERE IM DRIVING . CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HELD IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND SAID IT WAS A OIL PUMP SOLENOID VALVE BEING STUCK. AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT I DIDNT EVEN GET AROUND THE CORNER AND THE CAR DIED AT A LOW SPEED AND THE STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE POWER STEERI MY PUMP AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. VEHICLE HAS TO BEEN TAKEN IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILURE ALSO. CAR FAILURES HAVE BEEN COMMON SINCE THE DATE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE

THE RADIO/NAVIGATION IN MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY TURNS OFF. I BEGAN A SEARCH ON THE WEB TO SEE IF THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE ONLY TO FIND THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE AND IT COULD LEAD TO MORE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS, YET CHEVY WON'T RECALL IT AND THE NHTSA DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO GET INVOLVED. HERE IS THE LINK FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR SITUATIONS REGARDING ELECTRICAL (RADIO/NAVIGATION) AMONG OTHER THINGS THAT OCCUR AFTER THE RADIO/NAVIGATION APPEAR TO BEGIN FAILING: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHEVROLET/MALIBU/2013/ELECTRICAL/ELECTRICAL_SYSTEM-2.SHTML THE PROBLEM STARTED 3 DAYS AGO. I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY A NAVIGATION SYSTEM ISSUE. THEN THE TOUCH SCREEN (RADIO AND NAVIGATION) GO BLANK AND ONLY SOME OF THE ITEMS REAPPEAR. THE RADIO HAS TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN AT LEAST THREE TIMES. THE CLOCK WASN'T APPEARING ON THE SCREEN. THE CLOCK THEN READ 23:32 BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY 7:45 P.M. IS IT GOING TO TAKE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY FOR ATTENTION? THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS WHEN I START IT AND WHILE I'M DRIVING. NOT ALL OF THE MENU ITEMS REAPPEAR ON THE TOUCH SCREEN AFTER THE PROBLEM STARTS. SO FAR, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BUT THIS IS SCARY, AND I WILL FILE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IF THINGS GET WORSE.

WHILE GETTING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE CAR CUT OFF ON THE RAMP WHILE GOING 24MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS, NOTHING AT ALL WOULD WORK. I COULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE CAR. I COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEY EITHER. I HAD TO WAIT APPROXIMATELY 3 MINS FOR THE CAR TO LIGHT UP AND THEN I COULD RESTART THE CAR. ON THE WAY HOME ON THE RAMP ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND JERKED TO THE LEFT. THE ENIGINE DID NOT STOP THIS TIME. IN THIS CASE FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

Mileage: 95,400

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE RADIO PANEL, AIR CONDITIONING, CONTROL PANEL AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT. WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE WILL NOT STOP. HOWEVER, WHEN DRIVING 45 MPH OR BELOW ON CITY STREETS, THE CAR WILL SHUT COMPLETELY OFF AND I WILL HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR. EVERYTHING GOES COMPLETE OFF. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. THE CAR HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE PULLING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT AND THE IMPACT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN INJURY. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON YOUTUBE AND ONLINE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER COMES ON BUT IT DOES SAY SERVICE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE STABILI TRAK. SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING (PARKED) IT WILL ALSO CUT OFF. ONCE, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START AND IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE THE KEY. I TRIED MAKING SURE THE CAR WAS IN PARK (WHICH I KNEW IT WAS BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR HOURS) BUT NOTHING WOULD MOVE. I ALMOST HAD IT TOWED AND THEN OUT THE BLUE EVERYTHING POPPED ON. CHEVROLET ADVISED THAT THEY "THINK" IT COULD BE THE BATTERY CABLES AND THE FUSE BOX BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID 167.00 FOR THEM TO "TIGHTEN" THE CABLES AND TELL ME WHAT THEY "THINK" MAY BE THE ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF THE CAR WHILE HAVING THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS NOT IN THE FORMAT ALLOWED FOR UPLOAD. THE LAST TIME IT HAD THIS ISSUE WAS TODAY 07/28/2017.

PURCHASED THIS 2013 MALIBU LT IN AUGUST OF 2016. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH, I STARTED EXPERIENCING POWER FAILURE AND POWER STEERING LOSS WHILE DRIVING. ON SOME OCCASIONS, THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND POWER FAILURE IS TRIGGERED BY ENGAGING THE TURN SIGNAL. SEARCHED YOUTUBE AND DISCOVERED THAT DOZENS OF OTHER 2013 MALIBU OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE SCARY PART OF THIS ISSUE IS THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AS WELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES SINCE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE AUGUST 2016; THE LAST EXPERIENCE WAS ON THIS PAST FRIDAY, JULY 7, 2017.THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED TWO NEAR-MISS ACCIDENTS. I'VE READ SEVERAL POSTS OF OTHERS WHO HAVE SPENT MONEY ON DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE PROBLEM REOCCURS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO WASTE ON FRUITLESS REPAIRS AS I'M STILL PAYING A NOTE PLUS FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE ON THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THAT IT WILL TAKE FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IN A HURRY.

GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. 464.00 AT PAUL MASSE CHEVROLET IN EAST PROVIDENCE RI. THE INDICATOR CAME ON TELLING ME TO SHIFT IN PARK WHEN IT WAS ALREADY IN PARK. FAULTY MANUFACTURING IN THE PART.

I HAVE A 13 MALIBU LTZ BUT AS I'M DRIVING THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND COMES BACK ON IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING. I HAD IT SENT TO A SHOP THEY DIAGNOSED IT BUT FOUND NOTHING SAID THE KEY WAS POSSIBLY A PROBLEM. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT A NEW KEY SO FOR A MONTH OR SO THE ISSUE WAS FINE. I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND AS I HAVE MY BLINKERS ON I'M GETTING READY TO TURN AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF AGAIN.. I'M IN 5PM TRAFFIC THIS IS SCARY BUT AS THE CAR SHUT OFF THE WHEEL LOCK IT CUTS RIGHT BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY BATTERY SINCE IT WASN'T CHANGED IN AWHILE SO I HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED. THE CAR WAS FINE NOW TWO MONTHS LATER IT DID IT ALL OVER AGAIN.. I'M GETTING READY TO TURN AND AGAIN EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING THEN CUTS BACK ON. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED I PAY A CAR NOTE AND INSURANCE AND I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED.. THERE ARE SOOOO MANY COMPLAINTS I JUST WISH IT WOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS CAR SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WHEN THERE ARE OTHER CARS AROUND. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT BUT IT'S MY ONLY CAR AND I'M PAYING NOTES ON IT. IF I HAD THE MONEY TO TRADE IT IN I WOULD!! THIS ALL HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET WHEN THERE'S CARS AND TRAFFIC .. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING BUT MOSTLY EVERY TIME WHEN I'M TURNING. EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF THE WHOLE CAR IT'S SCARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE BATTERY AND POWER ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE A JUMP START WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM POSITIONING SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

SINCE 2015 CAR HAS EXPERIENCED ENGINE SPEED PROBLEMS, WIRING ISSUES AND EVERY 5-6 MONTHS THE CAR IS IN A CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY ITS FIXED BUT THEN ITS BACK IN THE SHOP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, INCLUDING THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THERE WAS NO AIR BAG RECALL TO ADDRESS THE REPAIR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT THE AIR BAG, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS RANDOMLY FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR BOUGHT FROM THE DEALERSHIP AS USED WITH 28K MILES IN NOV 2014. IN MARCH 2015, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO LOCK WHILE TURNING. MEANWHILE, THE SCREEN AND THE RADIO RESTARTS. THE LOCKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL HAPPENS UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMIT TO WHEN PARKING, CRUISING ON THE NEIGHBOURHOOD (SPEED BELOW 30 MPH), CHANGE LANES IN HIGHWAYS (SPEED AROUND 50 MPH), AND SEVERAL TIMES WHILE THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY PARKED WITHOUT MOTION. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2015 FOR THE FIRST TIME. IN THE FOLLOWING TWO YEARS UNTIL LAST WEEK (MARCH 2017), THE DEALERSHIP REPLIED "COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE" EVERY SINGLE TIME. IN THE RECENT SEVERAL TIMES OF ME VISITING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY CABLES (WITH A CHARGE FOR $750), AND THE FUSE BOX (WITH A CHARGE OF $108), BUT STILL, THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THE LAST VISIT TO THE DEALER ENDS UP WITH THE ROUTINE REPLY OF "CAN NOT DUPLICATE" BUT THEY DID ADMIT THAT THERE IS INDEED AN ISSUE SINCE I SHOWED THEM A VIDEO I RECORDED WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS. THE LOCKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME WHEN I TRIED TO ROTATE THE STEERING WHEEL (TO MAKE TURNING WHILE DRIVING OR PARKING OF COURSE), BUT THE ISSUE IS THAT IT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN. IT ONLY HAPPENS EVERY NOW AND THEN. THAT IS WHY I AM STILL DRIVING IT AFTER TWO YEARS SINCE UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS MY ONLY CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE THE LOCKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY LOCKS WHILE TURNING. IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD AND A LETHAL ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAYS. THE GM OFFERED ME A COUPON FOR SOME CREDIT TO BE APPLIED TO MY NEXT PURCHASE OF A NEW GM CAR BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS A SOLUTION I CAN ACCEPT. I AM ATTACHING SOME OF THE SERVICE HISTORIES TO SUPPORT MY STATEMENT. THERE ARE MORE BUT I CAN ONLY UPLOAD 5.

SEVERAL TIMES NOW THE CAR RADIO AND ELECTRICAL HAS JUST SHUT OFF . SHORTLY THERE AFTER --- THE STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING. SUCH THAT THERE WAS AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS UNABLE TO BE MOVED AT ALL. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MY GRANDCHILDREN. THUS SAFETY IS A MAJOR CONCERN. IF INDEED MY DAUGHTER WERE TO HAVE BEEN IN A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED TODAY, SHE OR MY GRANDCHILDREN COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED. CHEVROLET DEALER REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT A RECALL AND HAVE SAID THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC WOULD BE $100.00 TO PERFORM. IN MY 30 YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND MY HUSBANDS 22 YEARS OF ACTIVE DUTY ARMY SERVICE AND MANY MECHANICAL FIXES THAT WE HAVE DONE TO NUMEROUS VEHICLES WE HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING AS DANGEROUS THAT A MANUFACTURER WOULD REFUSE TO RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND GOD FORBID ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY DAUGHTER OR MY GRANDCHILDREN THERE IS NOW DOCUMENTATION TO REQUEST CHEVROLET FIX THE PROBLEM, AS I WILL BE SURE TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE. WE HAVE MAINTAINED PROPER MAINTENANCE, THERE ARE NO FAULT CODES THAT HAVE COME UP THAT WILL INDICATE AN ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE STEERING TO JUST LOCK UP STRAIGHT. WE HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED, THE BATTERY TERMINALS CHECKED AND WE KEEP TRYING TO NARROW DOWN THE CAUSE. BUT WE ARE NOW AT AN IMPASSE AND THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT WE HAVE FOUND ON MULTIPLE FORUMS IN COMMON WITH OTHER OWNERS. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, MID TURN, CITY STREET, AND UNABLE TO MAKE THE TURN . WOULD HAVE CRASHED HAD BEEN GOING FASTER, OR HAD OTHER CARS BEEN COMING . *TR

2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU (LT) HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SERVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THIS HIGHLY DANGEROUS DEFECT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AS WELL YET THERE IS NO RECALL! FIRST THE MY LINK/NAVIGATION/RADIO MODULE WOULD SHUT OFF AND COME BACK ON. WHILE THIS OCCURS, THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WOULD JUMP DOWN THEN JUMP BACK UP. I CALLED CHEVY/GMC AND THEY RECOMMENDED TO SHUT THE CAR OFF, REMOVE THE KEY, OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SO THE COMPUTER CAN RESET ITSELF. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPY THROUGH THE COURSE OF COUPLE HOURS THEN FINALLY STOPPED AND WAS WORKING FROM OVER THE COURSE OF 4 DAYS. AS OF YESTERDAY THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, ENTIRE TOUCHSCREEN MODULE SHUT OFF, AND TURNED BACK ON IN A SPLIT SECOND. ONCE THE CAR TURNED ON, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY TIGHT, ALMOST LOCKED, AND WE WOULD BARELY TURN INTO OUR DRIVEWAY WHILE IN MOTION ON A 25PM STREET. THANK GOD I WAS NOT COMING OFF A HIGHWAY OR DRIVING FAST LIKE REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE LIKE OTHER CONSUMERS BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS. I AM TERRIFIED OF THIS VEHICLE AND WILL BE TAKING IT TO CHEVY. THERE ARE OVER A HUNDRED COMPLAINTS AND VIDEOS I SAW AFTER I LOOKED UP IF THIS ISSUE WAS COMMON, WHICH IT APPEARS TO BE, ONLINE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST BECAUSE THIS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND SOMEONE CAN GET SERIOUSLY INJURED.

VEHICLE MOVING ON CITY STREET, LOST POWER TO RADIO, NAVIGATION SYSTEM, ETC., THEN LOST STEERING. LOST STEERING WHILE MAKING U-TURN. LOST STEERING IN FORWARD AND REVERSE WHILE PARKING VEHICLE. POWER TO CONTROL PANELS SHUT DOWN DURING BOTH INCIDENTS. OCCURRED BRIEFLY ON HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE LOSS OF POWER AND STEERING HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND LASTING FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. VEHICLE IS NOW AT DEALERSHIP FOR SAME ISSUE. I PURCHASED VEHICLE 3 MONTHS AGO. MY 17 Y/O SON USES THIS VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HIS SAFETY. I LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE MY CAR IS BEING SERVICED. THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS WAS EXPECTED BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE ESPECIALLY SINCE GM HAS RECALLED EARLIER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE 2013. YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND THE NERVOUSNESS YOU FEEL BEFORE GETTING INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT UNLESS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS YOURSELF. FOR GM AND DEALERSHIP TO KNOWINGLY ALLOW A PERSON TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE AND DRIVE OFF THEIR LOT WITH A SERIOUS ISSUE SUCH AS THIS IS MIND BLOWING. *TR

MY CAR INITIALLY STARTED WITH THE RADIO AND TOUCH SCREEN POWERING OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN, I WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE RADIO POWER WENT OFF AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, AGAIN ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS. NOW, WHEN IT HAPPENS (IT'S HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY), THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS FLICKER AS WELL AS THE RADIO POWER SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP. IT ALL ONLY LASTS AROUND 4-5 SECONDS, BUT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AT THE WRONG TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, IN WHICH I EXPLAINED IT'S SPORADIC AND UNPREDICTABLE. THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE AND MORE FRIGHTENING THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE OR HOW TO FIX IT. GM REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

WHEN DRIVING, SPECIFICALLY AT NIGHT, ALL LIGHTS FLICKER OFF, WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING IDLE. ALSO WHEN I PUT ON THE TURN SIGNAL, OR JUST MAKE A TURN, STOP, ACCELERATE. THERE IS NO REASON, JUST HAPPENS, THE LIGHTS FLICKER OFF. ALL OF THE LIGHTS, INCLUDING THE SCREEN. ALL THE LIGHTS GO COMPLETELY OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN COME RIGHT BACK ON. TWICE THE CAR HAS TURNED OFF, ALL THE LIGHTS GO OUT, THEN THEY COME BACK ON, BUT OF COURSE THE CAR IS STILL OFF. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE SECOND TIME, HOWEVER, I WAS ON THE ROAD, WITH MY KID IN THE CAR. WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT AND THE WHOLE CAR TURNED OFF. THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON BUT I HAD TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT FORUMS AND GM SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR WORSE.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS MY 2013 MALIBU HAS LOST POWER CAUSING A STEERING ISSUE. IT COULD BE WHILE DRIVING, TURNING, STOPPING OR ACCELERATING. THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER TO THE TOUCH SCREEN RADIO CAUSING THE SCREEN TO GO BLACK, THEN I LOSE THE STEERING MOMENTARILY AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL COME BACK ON. THIS CAN HAPPEN ONCE OR SOMETIMES IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHICH CAUSES THE SERVICE STABILITRACK WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON OR THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS HAS ALSO LED TO THE CAR STALLING AND LOSING ALL ELECTRICITY AND THEN STARTING BACK UP RIGHT AWAY. THE MORE ELECTRONICS YOU USE SUCH AS THE BLINKER CAUSES THE PROBLEM TO GET WORSE AND USUALLY ENDS UP IN THE CAR STALLING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOUR SEPARATE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED. I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR MORE THAN A WEEK SINCE AUGUST 22,2016 BECAUSE I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED. THE DEALER IS FOCUSING ON MY AFTER MARKET REMOTE STARTER WHICH IS WRONG SEEING THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME OCCURRENCES LISTED ON TIS WEBSITE.

WHILE DRIVING CAR INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNS OFF, AFTER WHICH STEERING LOCKS UP AND BRAKES BECOME INOPERABLE. INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNS OFF FOR SECONDS, THEN AS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNS BACK ON, ALL MESSAGES ON INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASH (IE ENGINE LIGHT, LOW BATTERY, ETC). MOST COMMON MESSAGE IS ABOUT STABILINK. EVEN AFTER INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNS BACK ON, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL REMAIN STIFF AND HARD TO MOVE UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE CAR OFF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RHYME OR REASON TO THE PROBLEM, OTHER THAN DRIVING IT. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHERE I'M GOING FROM NOT MOVING TO AT MAX 5 MPH, I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN ON AN EMPTY HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH, I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN TWO MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE, AND I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN 40 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE. STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT ALWAYS LOCK UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN, BUT MOST FREQUENTLY IT HAPPENS WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BUT AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD IT. I'VE TRIED TO GET THE WHOLE THING ON VIDEO BUT IT REALLY JUST DEPENDS ON IF SOMEONE IS IN THE CAR WITH ME OR IF MY PHONE WAS AT THE READY AND I'M IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO RECORD. IT'S SCARY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE STEERING AND BRAKES BE USELESS TO ME, SO MY FOCUS IS USUALLY MORE ON CONTROLLING THE CAR.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON - WHEN CHECKED AT THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME NO CODE FOUND FOR TWO YEARS, THEN AS TIME WENT ON IT STARTED ADDING SERVICE POWER STEERING AND AC/DC SHUT DOWN.

THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR AND RAN OFF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO HAD JUST WORKED ON THE CAR FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A MONTH, AND THEY FOUND NO CODES - NO SURPRISE! I COMPLAINED TO CHEVY FOR THE THIRD TIME AT CORPORATE LEVEL AND THEY HAD DENIED MY CLAIM AS BEING SAFETY RELATED. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A CAR YOU SUDDENLY CAN'T STEER ISN'T CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUES. I ALSO FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT CHEVY CAN'T RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 MALIBU. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? ALSO, WHY ARE THEY WAITING ON CODES WHEN THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY AN ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER PROBLEM. IF THE COMPUTER ISN'T WORKING ITS NO SURPRISE THAT THE WARNINGS ARE NOT THROWING A CODE! COMMON SENSE! ALSO, A CAR DOESN'T THROW WARNING LIGHTS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WITHOUT SOMETHING SETTING IT OFF! HENCE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!

NO KNOWN REASON WHY YET ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT DID THIS TO THEM WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO PULL IT IN THE GARAGE.

IN SUMMER 2015 WHILE USING AC, HEAT RANDOMLY WOULD BLAST OUT. (WHILE IDLE OR DRIVING). WOULD HAVE TO RESTART CAR TO GET AC TO WORK AGAIN. IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS DEC15/JAN16, ENGINE OVERHEATED-IDLE INDICATOR CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ONCE AT 65 MPH, ONCE AT 30 MPH. THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER IT WOULD TURN OFF. I LOOKED AT TEMP GAUGE, AND IT WAS NOT AT AN OVERHEATING LEVEL (HALF WAY ONLY). ALSO, NOW HEAT ONLY INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. I WILL HAVE TO TURN CAR ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY, AND TURN AC ON/OFF, HEAT ON/OFF, DEFROST ON/OFF, AND SOMETIMES THE HEAT WILL FINALLY GET WARM. NEVER SEEMS TO GET HOT LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP FOR THE ENGINE OVERHEATED/IDLE WARNING AND STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG. SAFETY ISSUE NOT HAVING HEAT FOR FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROST WHEN IT'S UNDER 30 DEGREES OUT. MECHANIC SAID IT'S PROBABLY A COMPUTER ISSUE WITH THE CAR. BUT NOW I'M SEEING THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY CAR OWNERS. GM NEEDS TO RECALL, AS THIS CAN BE A SAFETY CONCERN!

ACTUATOR DID NOT MEET SPECS IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE ACTUATOR. THIS SERVICE WAS DONE BY JIM KERAS CHEVROLET IN MEMPHIS TENNESSEE. THE COVERING ON THE DRIVER SEAT THAT PROTECTS THE SEAT CONTROLS HAS FALLEN OFF, THE CAR HAS NO PICK UP WHEN DEPRESSING THE EXCELLERATOR AND MAKES NOISE AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT CHANGING. I WENT TO VINCHECK PRO AND THERE WERE 7 RECALLS SPECIFICALLY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SOFTWARE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR OF ACURA OF MEMPHIS AT RIDGEWAY AND 385. NO ONE TOLD ME OF ANY FACTORY RECALLS. THE MONEY I AM SPENDING FOR THIS CAR IS ALREADY TOO MUCH AND NOW HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS OUT OF A CAR THATS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD IS RIDICULOUS. THANKS FOR LISTENING.

I WAS ON THE ON RAMP, BEHIND ANOTHER CAR DRIVING TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN WE BOTH DROVE THROUGH A BIG PUDDLE OF WATER. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AND THE WATER CAME OVER THE HOOD OF MY CAR. MY CAR THEN STALLED AND I COASTED TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ON RAMP. MY CAR WOULD NOT START. THE OTHER CAR CONTINUED DRIVING. NO WATER ENTERED MY VEHICLE. *TR

I STARTED THE CAR AND VIEWED THE MESSAGE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" IN THE MESSAGE CENTER BETWEEN THE ODOMETER AND TACHOMETER. THERE DID NOT SEEM TO BE ANY ISSUE WITH THE STEERING, BUT WANTED TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BY MY LOCAL DEALER SINCE IT WAS LESS THAN A HALF MILE UP THE ROAD. AS I PUT THE CAR INTO THE GEAR, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE INDICATOR LIGHTS THAT NORMALLY SHOW ME WHAT GEAR I AM IN (PRND) WERE BLANK. THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE CAR SURGED FORWARD VIOLENTLY, AS IF THE MALIBU WAS JUST REAR-ENDED. I THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE ?SERVICE POWER STEERING? MESSAGE APPEARED AGAIN. HOWEVER, THE ?CHECK ENGINE? LIGHT HAD LIT UP, AND THE ?SERVICE PARKING BRAKE? MESSAGE APPEARED AS WELL. THE CAR THEN SURGE VIOLENTLY AGAIN FORWARD WITHOUT SHIFTING INTO ANY GEARS. I THEN SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CALLED SPENCER CHEVROLET TO TELL THEM I WAS GOING TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THEIR SHOP. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I TRIED ONCE MORE TO START THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AND DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP IN LIMP MODE WITH HALF THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASH. AFTER FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS, THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER AT SPENCER CHEVROLET INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER MODULE (TCM) HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS WAS THE THIRD ELECTRICAL ISSUE I HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE (THE TRUNK WAS OPENING ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING, PARKED, OR DURING THE NIGHT, AND THE RADIO WAS LOCKING UP WITH NO CONTROL). I WAS WORRIED THAT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, AND DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE ANY RISKS. *TR

KEY FOB IS TOO SENSITIVE, ESPECIALLY ON THE TRUNK BUTTON. KEYS ARE IN MY POCKET, AND IF I BUMP UP AGAINST SOMETHING, THE TRUNK IS OPEN. WHEN YOU ARE IN PUBLIC (SAY A PUBLIC PARK FOR A FAMILY REUNION) AND NEED TO STORE LARGE VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR, WHERE DO YOU STORE THEM? IN THE TRUNK. WELL WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU BUMP SOMETHING AND YOUR TRUNK POPS? THOSE VALUABLES GET STOLEN. THE FOB SHOULD HAVE THE TRUNK BUTTON INSET INTO IT, REQUIRE TO PRESS TWO BUTTONS SIMULTANEOUSLY, OR REQUIRE YOU TO PRESS THE TRUNK BUTTON TWICE FOR THE TRUNK TO OPEN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A CHEVROLET DESIGN ERROR. THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT MY PREVIOUS CHEVY CAR (2012 CAMARO) THIS SAME THING HAPPENED. JUST SO HAPPENED THERE WASN'T ANYTHING IN MY TRUNK WITH THE CAMARO. BUT IT DID RAIN AND MY TRUNK WAS FULL OF WATER THE MORNING. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EASY FIX, AND I AM SURE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. SUCKS TO SEE MY MOM LOSE A COACH PURSE AND WALLET, PERSONAL AND BUSINESS DEBIT CARDS AND CHECKS, MEDICATION, AND CASH WHILE ON A FAMILY VACATION. *TR

2013 CHEVY MALIBU 1LS MANUFACTURED 11/20/12, CURRENTLY LESS THAN 7,000 MI. 1) CHROME & RADIO GLASS - WHEN SUN SHINES ON CONSOLE IT BLINDS DRIVER & DRIVER MUST COVER AREA WITH A SCARF OR JACKET; CONSOLE IS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT, BUT NOT PRACTICAL FROM A SAFETY VIEWPOINT SINCE THE DRIVER IS BLINDED & CANNOT SEE UNTIL THE AREA IS COVERED FROM THE SUN. 2) WHEN AIR CONDITIONING WAS TURNED ON, A BLAST OF VERY HOT AIR CAME OUT; IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TIMES OF TURNING THE SETTINGS OFF & ON (AT LEAST 60 SECONDS OR LONGER) BEFORE THE HOT AIR STOPPED & THE AIR CONDITIONING CAME ON. THE HOT AIR COULD NOT BE IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF. HAPPENED ONLY ONCE. 3) PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FENDER/BUMPER LOOSE - MAKES NOISE, CAN POP IT BACK IN, BUT ON HOT DAYS, IT POPS OUT, VIBRATES AND MAKES LOUD NOISE UNTIL POPPED BACK IN. 4) REAR WINDOWS - WHEN DOWN 1/2, 3/4 OR FULLY, VIBRATES, MAKES VERY LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE TIRES ARE COMING APART, CAUSING DRIVER TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO CHECK TIRES, THE DISTRACTION & BEING ON SIDE OF ROAD COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. 5) NO SPARE TIRE - UNABLE TO LOCATE A TIRE & RIM (OR DONUT TIRE) FOR PURCHASE TO INSERT IN TRUNK TIRE AREA. NO CAN OF GOOP, ALSO GOOP ONLY LASTS FOR 6 MONTHS & MUST BE DISCARDED & NEW CAN PURCHASED. NOT GOOD WHEN STRANDED IN INCLEMENT SNOWY WEATHER OR OUT IN THE HOT DESERT & MUST WAIT FOR TOW TRUCK. I LIKE MY CHEVY MALIBU VERY MUCH, IT HAS BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE ROUGH GRAVEL/DIRT ROADS IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, SNOW, & HIGHWAY TRAVEL. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SHORTLY FOR AN OIL CHANGE & TO TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES. WHAT I DON'T LIKE IS THAT I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE DRIVER AIRBAG OFF (I SIT LESS THAN 12 INCHES FROM THE WHEEL & AM CONCERNED THAT IF IT WERE TO DEPLOY I WOULD BE KILLED) & THAT THE VEHICLE IS FAIRLY LOW TO THE GROUND, MAKING SPEED BUMPS & GETTING OUT OF BUSINESSES WHERE THERE IS A DIP ONTO STREETS DIFFICULT. *TR

TURNED THE CAR ON HEAT CAME ON FULL BLAST FAN AND TEMP GAGE WERE BOTH IN OFF POSITION. IT DID THIS 3 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT INTO THE SHOP A WEEK LATER. THIS CAR ALARM ALSO TURNS ITSELF ON AFTER DRIVING IN THE RAIN. LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST WHEN DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSIONS DOWNSHIFT ON THIS AUTOMATIC VEHICLE IS HORRIBLE IT IS A VIOLENT JERK DOWN AND UP. MY DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO TELL ME THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FAN ISSUE THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIX. I AM BEGINNING TO HATE MY CAR. THE JERK SCARES THE CAP OUT OF ME I AM SCARED ONE DAY IT WILL JUST SLIP IT IS EVEN WORSE WHEN THE AC IS ON EVEN WHEN STOPPING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC IT DOES THIS AND SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING OVER A GRAVEL ROAD. *TR
