2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES, SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING, THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING, SO I STUCK MY ARM OUT THE WINDOW TO TRY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LACK, I TRIED TO USE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND THEY DID NOT WORK EITHER. EVERY DAY THAT I DRIVE, THE TURN SIGNALS WORK FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES THEN STOP (EVEN THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS STOP WORKING). I CONTACTED THE CHEVY RECALL # 800-630-2438 AND SPOKE TO DANIEL WHO TOLD ME THAT THE RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC AND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THOSE VIN #'S AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

ON SEPT. 29, 2010, I BOUGHT A 2000 CHEVY MALIBU IN NY FROM A NJ DEALER, THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, SO I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS EMISSIONS. I PAID HIM TO DO A SPECIAL EMISSIONS GAS TREATMENT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE SAME CAR ALSO HAS EXTERIOR LIGHTING ISSUES (THE TURN SIGNALS SPORADICALLY WORK AND SUDDENLY STOP WITHOUT WARNING AND THE EMERGENCY BLINKERS WON'T WORK EITHER), I SUBMITTED THIS ISSUE IN A COMPLAINT ON THIS WEBSITE NHTSA.DOT.GOV ON YESTERDAY OCT. 22, 2010. HOWEVER I AM SUBMITTING THIS BECAUSE IT IS POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE RECALL GAS TANK ISSUES OF THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR CAR. *TR

DRIVING FROM QUEENS TO BROOKLYN, NY AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING, THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING, SO I STUCK MY ARM OUT THE WINDOW TO TRY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LACK. EVERY DAY THAT I DRIVE, THE TURN SIGNALS WORK FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES THEN STOP (EVEN THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS STOP WORKING). I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO MECHANICS WHO ARE AS STUMPED AS I WAS (UNTIL TODAY) WHEN I SAW THE NHTSA.DOT RECALL AND INVESTIGATION LIST WHICH INCLUDED MY CAR 2000 CHEVY IMPALA. *TR

TURN SIGNALS INOPERABLE. FLASHER INOPERABLE. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS OF INTENT TO TURN OR CHANGE LANES CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS TOLD THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL BY THE CHEVROLET REPRESENTATIVE. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD SWITCH AND BOTH HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY A PREVIOUS OWNER AT 70000 MI. UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL. I AM NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AT 172000 MI. AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOW NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

TURN SIGNALS HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING UPON DEMAND. AS OF 9/82010 MY TURN SIGNALS HAVE STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. GM SAID MY VIN DID NOT FALL IN THE RECALL CATEGORY OF THE SAME VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2000 CHEVY MALIBU AND THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. A LOT OF THE TIME THE CAR WILL NOT START AND WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING THE CALL WILL STALL AND DIE. IT WILL SHUT OFF AND RANDOM TIMES. YOU CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND YOU LOOSE POWER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I KNOW THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS FAILED TO COME UP WITH A FIX FOR IT. IT IS UP TO YOU TO FORCE GM TO PUT OUT A FIX FOR THIS AND PROTECT THE CONSUMERS OF THEIR PRODUCTS. PLEASE HELP KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE. THANK YOU. *TR
