1997 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE PIVOT HOLDER WINDSHIELD WIPER WAS BROKE SO WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP-THEY SAID THE TRANMISSION WAS BROKE ON BOTH WIPERS-THERE SEEMS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES NOT IN MISSOURI. UNFAIR!*AK

THE WINDSHILED WIPER FAILED PRIOR TO RECALL (01V-068) DURING A RAINSTORM WHICH RESULTED IN POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. NLM

DEALER REPLACED BOTH CONTROL ARM DUE TO RATTLING AND SQEAKING IN THE FRONT END AS A RESULT THE TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED, AFTER 20000 MILES THE NOISE IS BACK. NLM

WHEN DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NEEDED, WINDSHIELD WIPER ON PASSENGER'S SIDE STOPPED WORKING. THERE IS A RECALL LISTED REGARDING PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY. *AK *TT

FOR MONTHS THE AIRBAG MADE NOISES WHEN DRIVING AS AIR WAS SEEPING THROUGH THE RUBBER BORDER. THEN TODAY THE SUNROOF JUST FLEW OFF THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY SO THERE WAS NO WAY OF SALVAGING IT. IT BROKE OFF THE HINGES AND THE SUNROOF WAS NOT OPEN ANYWAY AT ALL. IT WAS THE TYPE THAT YOU COULD EITHER VENT OR SLIDE BACK.*AK

THE RETURN LINE FOR THE POWER STEERING IS LOCATED RIGHT UNDER THE EXHAUST AND RESTS UPON IT. IT GOT HOT AND SUBSEQUENTLY MELTED A HOLE IN THE PRESSURIZED LINES CAUSING ALL THE FLUID TO LEAK OUT AND NOT HOLD ANY MORE FLUID.*AK

WHEN VEHICLE GOES OVER BUMPS OR WHEN MAKNG A TURN STEERING WHEEL BECOMES LOOSE, CAUSING ENTIRE VEHICLE TO SHAKE. CONSUMER HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2,000 MILES. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, BUT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REMEDY PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

STEERING WHEEL COLUMN PUMP BROKE. COULDN'T STEER VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK *SLC

WHILE DRIVING AND FOOT REMOVED FROM BRAKES, VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON/OFF. WOULD NEED TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE. WILL BE TAKING TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MECHANIC CHECK IT. *AK

REAR BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING ASSEMBLY IS MELTED ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *AK
