2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU Unknown Or Other Problems

GM reclassified a known safety defect affecting over 300,000 vehicles as a “special coverage campaign” instead of a recall. This has allowed them to deny timely repairs and loaner vehicles, leaving owners without safe transportation.I have been without my vehicle since August 2021. I began actively trying to repair it again in June 2025, and the dealer has had it for the past week with no resolution. Both Benton Chevrolet and Gwatney Chevrolet in Arkansas have refused to coordinate a loaner despite GM’s ability to authorize one. My family is displaced, and this is a safety hazard.GM Case #[XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The knob that slides and opens the hidden compartment behind the radio has melted and gets black goo all over everything. It's definitely a widespread problem that many people have experienced and should be recalled. I can't find just a replacement knob without replacing the entire thing.

There is a recall on the brake booster on the 2014 Malibu manufactured in 2013 my car is a 2013 and I have the same issue.i have had multiple things wrong.I was driving and had no brakes at all I had to push hard and it finally stopped. Hazardous to drive now until fixed.i feel it should be covered as it is the same issue on the 2014

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 .

One day the car didn’t want to speed up and we almost had a car wreck

While driving down the road the check engine light comes on and a warning message comes across the screen saying "engine power reduced service stability trac now" the car then goes into limp mode. This has happened 3 times since I bought it in March of 2023. If I shut the car off and it sits for 45 minutes to an hour and start it back up the check engine light is still on but the stability trac light is off and she drives fine. I have taken it into the shop 5 times. Everytime it's been in the shop a part has been replaced but it is still happening. It drives great with no problem until that light comes on.

This car stop on the middle of the highway with my kids in the car we we’re almost crashed it’s un safe and they need too recall the Chevy Malibu it’s very dangerous to stop out of nowhere and cut off I can kill somebody one day everything has been replaced and it’s still cutting off I shouldn’t be responsible for paying for this lemon

The dash board goes out and you can not see speed or anything goes completely black and sometimes won't come back on for days. Unable to see information center.

In July 2023, my husband was driving ON THE HIGHWAY when the car suddenly decelerated itself. A system error message came up saying service stabilitrak and reduced engine power - he couldn't go more than 40 mph. We took it to the repair shop and they determined the high pressure fuel failed and the engine was running off the lift pump. They replaced the high pressure fuel pump with gasket and pressure line. Then, in late September 2023, the car turned off while my husband was driving (while he was stopped). He was able to turn it back on and drive it home. There were no warning lights/messages. We took it to the repair shop, but there were no error codes and they were unable to determine the issue. Next, at the end of October 2023, when coming to a stop the vehicle shut off again - almost every time my husband would come to a stop. When this happened, it still had power (because the radio was still on), but he had to shut vehicle off completely and restart it each time. There were no warning lights/messages. We took it back to the repair shop. Again, no codes were stored in ecm/tcm. This time, they test drove it while monitoring the data. They determined that the torque converter clutch was hanging up. They also experienced some long shifts and occasional slippage and determined that the transmission would need to be replaced. The issues above are just the most recent issues. Aside from regular brakes, tires, and oil changes, other work I’ve had done on the car includes the repair/replacement of: rear suspension toe link recall (three times), water pump, brake booster vacuum, a/c compressor, timing chain, guides, tensioner, cam actuators, intake and cam actuators, exhaust cam solenoid, exhaust manifold bolts with associated hardware and gaskets, thermostat (twice), battery (twice), spark plugs, and back left hub assembly. I have still have the documentation for all of the above.

The instrument cluster goes out. Can't see anything on the dash speed gas or anything while driving or goes out completely. Can not drive car. Not safe to drive don't know if I have gas or how fast I'm going or if I have any warnings on the car.

LOSS OF BATTERY CHARGE - INSPECT GENERATOR CONTROL MODULE Previous recall issued, Chevy says car issue was resolved but is not

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.

My daughters 2013 Chevy Malibu sporadically for no reason shuts off when she stop at a stop light or when she is idling. Then it requires her to turn the vehicle off and then back on. Some times it stars right up and she can go and other times it starts up and shuts right back off and other times she will have to do it twice. I find it to be pretty dangerous to for her to be stalled in the middle of a busy road. I also pray that it doesn’t just shut off while she is driving where a car may rear end my daughter. No it has not been verified by any one do to the sporadic times it happens. However as I do my research trying to find a solution to the problem it sound like it is a common occurrence with the 2013 Chevy Malibu. So far there have been no warning lamps triggered. Like I said it is sporadic and there is no rhyme or reason it happens. This is definitely something that Chevy should be forced to recall and fix because it definitely if a major safety issue. If you look up why is my 2013 Chevy Malibu shutting off on the internet you will see that there definitely is a issue with this happening to others since it pops up right away telling you that it is a regularly searched topic. Please help. Thanks for your time

Under a slow acceleration doing highway speed say going up a incline the car will get a burning smell in the cabin its smell like burning electrical wireing so far now visible smoke.

No warm/hot air blowing to the front windshield to defrost during winter months. Hazard to drive especially in the winter months when I need to see out the window. Heater motor works. The heat also builds up inside behind the radio screen compartment causing the radio screen to turn off.

The 2013 Malibu continues to die when coming to a stop at a stop sign/light or at low rate of speed. This poses a major safety risk as when driving down the interstate and coming to a low speed the car will die and at times struggle to restart. This increases the chances of getting hit by moving vehicles. The car has been to a mechanic and confirmed that the car continues to die when coming to a stop or low speed but no engine codes show. This has been a known problem of the 2013 Malibu with no known fix.

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

2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR VEHICLE REPAIR.

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.

2013 Malibu is shutting off on its own while driving, vehicle restarts on its own. This occurs randomly when driving down the road. Some times vehicle is turning, sometimes it is when the vehicle is going straight. This first happened about May 15, 2021. It happened 3 times May 22, 2021. Steering does not work while engine is off. This is a very dangerous. We noticed radio stops working. We took it to Berger Chevrolet May 17,2021. They could not find a problem. They said a while guess would be to change the battery. We did not have battery changed.

GOT A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE N202308930 ON JANUARY 2021 AND STILL NO INFO ABOUT PARTS TO REPAIR. I HAVE A KID ABOUT TO DRIVE FROM INDIANA TO CONNECTICUT AND I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED.

THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS/LOCKS UP ON LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS, USUALLY WHILE DRIVING ON STREET ROADS. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO LOCKED WHILE SWITCHING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE RADIO ALSO BLANKS IN/OUT OFTEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES IN CONJUNCTION WITH STEERING ISSUES. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A SHORT TIME AND BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON REPEATED OCCASIONS WITHOUT ANY LUCK WITH DUPLICATION OR RESOLUTION. ALSO, THE PENDING PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THE REAR SUSPENSION TOE LINK HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO NO AVAILABILITY OF PARTS FROM MANUFACTURER. I'VE PAID FOR THIS USED VEHICLE BUT INHERITED THESE ISSUES WHICH ARE MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS AND VERY BAD BUSINESS. (SUPPORTING DOCS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST)

Mileage: 59,097

THERE IS A RECALL(FROM GM) REGARDING REAR TOE LINKS THAT RECEIVED EXCESSIVE ELECTROCOATING CORROSION PROTECTION WHICH COULD CAUSE THE E-COAT TO BECOME BRITTLE AND BREAK AWAY WHEN CONTACTED BY ROAD DEBRIS. THIS CAN REDUCE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

MY CAR WAS RUNNING IN THE DRIVE WHEN IT DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. I HAD TO JUMP START IT AND AFTER THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS LIGHT ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO A CHEVY DEALER WHERE I WAS CHARGED $80.00 TO BE TOLD THAT THE SDM AIRBAG MODULE NEEDS REPLACED AND ESTIMATED COST FOR THIS IS $1100.00. MY CAR ONLY HAS 108232 MILES ON IT AND TO KNOW THAT IT COULD COST ME EITHER MY FAMILIES LIFE OR $1100.00 EVERYTIME THE BATTERY DIES IS NOT A CHOICE ANYONE SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE. AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST DEPENDABLE PART OF A VEHICLE AS IT SAVES SO MANY LIVES. HOW DO I KNOW IF THEY ARE EVEN WORKING WITH THE LIGHT OFF IF IT IS THIS SENSITIVE? I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE EVEN IF I GET IT FIXED AND SINCE I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR RECENTLY I OWE TO MUCH TO TRY TO BUY ANYTHING ELSE. HOW CAN PART OF THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT FAIL SO EASILY AND NOT BE ON RECALL? WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT HAD DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD INSTEAD OF IN THE DRIVEWAY PUTTING THE CAR INTO GEAR? AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP IT NOW HAS A NEW CODE BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT TO FIND OUT WHAT ELSE IS WRONG.

I GOT A RECALL NOTICE STATING RISK: REAR TOE LINK CAN CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND WORSE CASE OF A RISK.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN I HEARD STRANGE NOISES. I THEN HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE CAR BARELY WOULD MOVE. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, I SAW THE WHEEL WAS SLANTED. IT WAS TOWED TO A AAA REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS A BROKEN TOE LINK THAT HAD ROTTED. WHEN IT BROKE, IT ALSO BENT A BAR IN THE REAR. THE INSPECTOR SAID THE SAME WAS HAPPENING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED.

WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR IT WAS LESS THAN 4 MONTHS OF OWING IT 38,000 MILE, AND I HAD ISSUES. WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP AND THE AUTO STOP/START WOULD KICK IN MY CAR WOULD DIE. AND AT ONE TIME IT SMELT LIKE A BURNING RUBBER. THE INITIAL TIME THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT START. CALLED DEALERSHIP MATHEWS BUICK IN MARION INDIANA, HAD IT TOWED BUT THEY COULD FIND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN NOT A FEW MONTHS LATER THIS TIME BY THE TIME I GOT TO MY HOME THE SERPENTINE BELT BUSTED FROM WHERE THE "AUTO STOP/START FEATURE" LOCKED UP AND BROKE IT IN HALF. SO FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER "THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT" BUT I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE THEN. NOW MY ENGINE LEAKS DONT KNOW WHY, AND MY CAR WONT EVEN START. I COULD NOT EVEN TELL YOU WHAT THEY FIXED, BUT IT COST ME. I TRIED THE LEMON LAW BUT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE IN A CERTAIN TIME, AND IT HAS TO BE FIXED SO MANY TIMES. I FEEL THE DEALERSHIP SOLD ME A BAD VEHICLE AND KNEW IT!! THIS CAR HAD NOTHING BUT CAUSED ME HEADACHES ALL BECAUSE OF THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME BECAUSE NOW MY CAR DOES NOT RUN NO POWER AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT COULD BE THE ALTENATOR BUT APPARENTLY YOU CAN ONLY BUY PARTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND JUST FOR THAT IT IS $900!! THIS COVID-19 HAS CAUSED ME A HARDSHIP AND NOW THAT I HAVE A GOOD JOB I HAVE TO RENT A CAR FOR $800/MONTH TO GET TO WORK. I STILL OWE ON THIS CAR SO I AM MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON TOP OF THE RENTAL. PLEASE HELP THESE ISSUES HAPPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I AM CURRENTLY AT SONS HOUSE AND ALL MY PAPERWORK IS IN STORRAGE. I AM UNCLEAR OF THE DATE IT HAPPENED

THE DASH SCREEN GOES BLACK AND CUTS POWER, DISCONNECTING CALLS AND BLUE TOOTH CONNECTION, AND POWER STEERING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. THE WHEEL JERKS BACK IN PLACE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. IT ONLY CUTS POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS AND IT COMES BACK ON BUT I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I AM ALSO UNABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS BACK A FEW TIMES AND I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT BECAUSE IT WASNT HAPPENING AT THE TIME. IT MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED YESTERDAY ON 12/10/2020.

I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR SHUT OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT DROVE. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR STARTED TO STALL AND SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. I WAS ON A LOCAL STREET. I SEARCHED THIS UP ON GM WEBSITE AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH NO RESOLUTION

WHEN I FIRST GOT IT THE WHEEL BEARINGS WENT OUT AND NOT JUST ONE THEY WENT OUT ONE BY ONE AT END EXPENSES OF $900 AT ONE TIME AT XMAS!! IT'S BEEN RUNNING GOOD NOW, IT NOW HAS 130,000 MILES ON IT. BUT FROM DAY ONE THE RIMS HAVE BEEN PEELING OFF THEY HAD SOME COATING OVER IT AND IT'S SLOWLY PEELING OFF MAKING MY CAR LOOK REALLY BAD!! I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANY REPLACEMENT RIMS! NOW WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SAND BLASTING THEM AND PAINTING THEM.

RADIO QUIT WORKING AND WON'T COME BACK ON. I GOT IN MY CAR ONE DAY TO GO TO WORK AND THE SCREEN WAS BLANK AND HASN'T COME BACK ON SINCE. IT WAS WORKING FINE THE DAY BEFORE NO ISSUES OR ANYTHING ODD HAPPENED BEFORE IT WENT OUT. I'VE SEEN PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE RADIOS GOING OUT.

I GOT A ERROR MESSAGE POWER STEERING ISSUE, & THEN THE KEY STUCK IN THE STEERING WHEEL & WON'T COME OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I WAS GETTING READY TO DRIVE IT. NOW MY CAR WON'T START & I STILL GET THE ERROR MESSAGE.

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM MERCHANTS AUTO IN OCT 2019 AND WITHIN A WEEK THE CAR STALLED TO START. I CALLED AROUND NOV 2019 TO SET UP AN APPT TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT SO IT COULDN'T BE FIXED. I WENT BACK ON 2/15/20 AND 5/29/20 AND RECENTLY ON 6/29/20. THEY STILL COULD NOT DUPLICATE OUR CALL STALLING AND THEN SHUTTING OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WE WOULD HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS MOSTLY TO START IT UP.LAST TIME I TOOK IT THERE THEY WERE ABLE TO COME UP WITH $700 WORTH OF CHARGES THAT WERE OUT OF WARRANTY SO I HAD TO PASS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE $700 AND PLUS THIS WAS STARTING WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.I WONDERED WHY THEY COULDNT HAVE COME UP WITH THE SAME CONLUSION THE FIRST TIME THAT I BROUGHT IT IN OR THE 2ND TIME AND THE LADY SAID SHE DIDNT KNOW. I CALLED QUIRK CHEVROLET TO ASK ABOUT RECALL 13142 AND THE PERSON I SPOKE TO , INFORMED ME THAT SINCE MY VIN # DOESN'T FALL UNDER THAT RECALL THAT IT CANT BE REPLACED. THE RECALL DESCRIBES WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR VEHICLE AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CANT HAVE IT REPLACED WITH THE RECALL THAT IS LISTED FOR MY CAR. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUES FOR 2013 CHEVY MALIBU AND MY CAR IS NOT ECO SO IT SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT AT ALL. OUR VEHICLE STALLS AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS..WE HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK..RESTART THE CAR AND THEN DRIVE. OR WE HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO NOT LET THE ENGINE FAIL. IT HAPPENS ONLY WHEN WE COME TO A STOP OR WHEN IT IDLES. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP OR CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. DRIVING BACK FROM MAINE YESTERDAY AND AFTER A 5 HOUR DRIVE WE COME TO AN EXIT AND HAVE TO SLOW DOWN IF NO STOP AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THIS LAST HAPPENED ON 7/5 AROUND 5PM ET

THE CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO LOCK IN DIFFERENT PLACES AS YOU TURN. ALL ELECTRONICS SHUT OFF AND SOMETIMES CANNOT BE RESTARTED FOR DAYS. YOU CAN BE SITTING IN PARK AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WILL STILL LOCK UP. NOT AT THE STOPPING POINT OF THE STEERING. EVEN IF YOU TRY. A LITTLE. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING IT WILL NOT LET YOU TURN IT AT ALL. UNLOCK LOSING POWER STEERING MAKES IT HARDER TO TURN BUT STILL POSSIBLE. WITH THIS IT STOPS COMPLETELY LIKE THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. WHEN YOU SWITCH YOUR TURN SIGNAL ON AND THEN TURN ALL ELECTRONICS AND CAR SHUTS OFF UNTIL YOU TURN THE SIGNAL OFF OR LET GO OUT THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED 4 TIMES WITH KIDS IN THE CAR.

BUT IT WHEN THROUGH THAT PROCESS LIKE 5-6 TIMES BACK TO BACK. WHEN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I SEE MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY CAR HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH THE 2013 CHEVY MALIBU. IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

COMING HOME FROM WORK ON 8/6/2019 TRAVELING DOWN MD-210 HIGHWAY, WITH CAR MOTION, THE RADIO CUT OFF AND THEN ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF. WE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, SO MY HUSBAND TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION RESTARTED THE CAR AND WE TRAVELED HOME. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME, WE HAD OUR CAR CHECKED AT OUR MECHANIC'S SHOP BUT AT THE TIME HE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME, THE RADIO CUTS OFF, INSTRUMENT DASH LIGHTS, CUTS OFF AND THE THE POWER STEERING SHUTS DOWN JUST FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS, IT HAPPENED WHEN WE TRAVELED TO WORK, MY HUSBAND TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL RIGHT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RADIO WENT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT CAME BACK HOME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND GOD FORBID IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE CAR IN MOTION ON A GREEN LIGHT IT COULD KILL SOMEONE. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE ASAP.

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.

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.

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.

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. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

IN THE LAST YEAR, I HAD TO REPLACE, AT MY OWN EXPENSE, 3 OUT OF THE 4 WHEEL BEARING HUB ASSEMBLIES ON MY 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THERE IS ALSO A TERRIBLE TOXIC SMELL COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING VENTS ATTRIBUTED TO THE CAR'S EVAPORATOR CORE. CHEVROLET HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THESE PROBLEMS, BUT REFUSES TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. THESE ISSUES HAVE NEVER OCCURRED IN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS. CHEVROLET MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED, SICKENED OR KILLED.

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.

SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON EVERY FEW MONTHS. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REBUILT TO FIX "A STUCK CYLINDER" AND THE WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR HAS NO PICK UP WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. IT SEEMS TO HESITATE. THIS IS THE WORST CARE I HAVE EVER OWNED.

HEATER WILL COME ON FULL BLAST, ON IT'S OWN, AFTER STARTING CAR WHILE PARKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 3 TIMES AND THE HEATER WASN'T EVEN TURNED ON! I HAVE TO TURN HEATER OFF MANUALLY. UNK IF THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS BUT THINK IT'S SOMETHING IN THE AIRWAVES? I NOTICE THAT I HAVE BEEN BY A DRIVEUP BANK WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER GAVE OUT WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME CON AND ENGINE HAD A ROUGH IDLE. HAD TO TOW CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND VERIFIED THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THERE IS NOT A RECALL OR WARRANTIED SO $800.00 LATER IT WILL BE SAFE BUT BUT I WILL BE SET BACK. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON 2014 MODELS. GOOD FOR THOSE OWNERS.

WHILE DRIVING AND GOING TO CHANGE LANES, I TURN ON MY TURN SIGNAL TO CHANGE LANES AND THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING, THE DASH GAUGES FLICKER AND THE RADIO CUTS OUT AND SOMETIMES THE MOTOR CUTS OFF. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN SITTING STILL, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL BOUNCE IF TURNING ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER. I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND NO RESOLUTION. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHILE TURNING. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY.

CAR RANDOMLY LOSSES POWER AT ANY SPEED. DURING THIS TIME, I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. THE POWER STEERING IS OFF. THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AS SHE MADE A LEFT TURN ON A GREEN LIGHT ON BELL ROAD, AZ (A BUSY ROAD). THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.

WHEN FAN IS ON THERE IS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT MY AIR COMPRESSOR IS BAD. THIS WILL ALSO AFFECT THE ABILITY TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD.

REAR WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED AT 45000 MILES. HUMMING SOUND FROM BACK OF CAR GETS LOUDER AS YOU INCREASE SPEED. FOR SOMEONE WHO IS DEAF THIS COULD BE DISASTORUS. MANY COMPLAINTS ON GM WEBSITES AND THE WEB REGAUDRING THIS PREMATURE WAR OF THE AC DELCO WHEEL BEARING HUB..

I DID NOT.THEY FIXED THAT THEN SAID IT WAS A RIGHT WHEEL HUB.I KNOW THESE TWO THINGS HAVENOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM.

METAL PLATING ON THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE PEELING OFF AND IS EXTREMELY SHARP. HAVE HAD 2 PEOPLE SLICE THEIR HANDS/FINGERS ON THE DOOR, RESULTING IN A PAINFUL "PAPER-CUT" LIKE INJURY.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2013 CHEVY MALIBU IN DECEMBER, 2012. SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED FOUR TIMES FOR FOUR DIFFERENT POSSIBLE MALFUNCTIONS. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT THE CAR MANUFACTURER WOULD RELEASE A VEHICLE THAT WAS RECALLED NO LESS THAN FOUR TIMES IN LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS DUE TO THEIR MISTAKES. WHAT RECOURSE DOES A CONSUMER HAVE FOR LOST TIME FROM WORK, LOST PRODUCTIVITY, WASTED HOURS AND THE INCONVENIENCE OF SHUTTLING THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP FOUR SEPARATE TIMES? SHOULDN'T CHEVY BE REQUIRED TO REIMBURSE THE CONSUMER FOR THESE LOSSES? WHEN YOU SPEND UPWARDS OF $30,000 ON A NEW PRODUCT, IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT YOU ARE PURCHASING A QUALITY PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE FOUR SEPARATE VISITS TO THE REPAIR SHOP ON TOP OF REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER FOR REPAIR ON JULY 11 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE MOTOR FOR THE FAN THAT COOLS THE BATTERY. DEALER REPAIRED AND RETURNED TO ME ON JULY 13. NOTED COVER ON AIRBAG ON STEERING WHEEL IS MALALIGNED, WHICH IS A NEW PROBLEM. TRAVELED OUT OF STATE WITH CAR AND FOUND CRUISE CONTROL AND TRIP ODOMETER NO LONGER WORK (WERE FINE PRIOR TO "REPAIR"). AFTER ARRIVING OUT OF STATE, THE MYLINK COMPUTER FAILED TO WORK THEN BEGAN TO WORK ABOUT TWO HOURS LATER. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO REFUSED TO TAKE IT AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK NEXT WEEK. WENT TO SECOND DEALER WHO HAS HAD CAR SINCE JULY 16. MEANWHILE, WE DISCOVERED THE CAR WAS UNDER RECALL AND DEALER SHOULD NOT HAVE SOLD PRIOR TO REPAIR. THIS CRITICAL REPAIR WAS NOT MADE AT THE FIRST OR SECOND DEALER. THIS IS AN INFERIOR PRODUCT, A VEHICLE WITH 668 ACTUAL MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE A FAN MOTOR PROBLEM. THE GAS CAP DOES NOT CLICK TO CLOSE EITHER. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN A DEALERSHIP GARAGE MORE THAN I HAVE ACTUALLY GOTTEN TO DRIVE IT; MY FIRST PAYMENT IS NOT EVEN DUE YET! THIS CAR IS A LEMON, I FEEL CHEATED AND MISLED BY CHEVY SINCE THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO FIX IT BEFORE THEY SOLD IT TO ME. MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THE FAN MOTOR ISSUE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE AND AM AFRAID OF FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH IT IN THE FUTURE.
