2011 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

IN THE PAST FEW YEARS MY HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. I REPLACE THE BULB AND LIKE A MONTH LATER IT GOES OUT AGAIN. WENT TO REPLACE AGAIN AND BULB WAS FINE BUT BAD WIRING. FIXED THAT AND TODAY NOW BOTH HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT. I JUST REPLACED THEM IN THE SUMMER NOT SURE HOW THEY CAN BE OUT AGAIN! IT IS NOT AN EASY PROCESS TO GET TO THESE LIGHTS MAKING IT A LOT OF WORK AND MONEY IF I DONT DO IT MYSELF WHICH NOW THAT ITS NEGATIVE OUT I WILL BE PAYING TO GET THIS FIXED YET AGAIN. I WAS JUST LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE TURNED THEM ON AND THEY WERE NOT WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STANDSTILL, THE SEAT BELT CABLE FRACTURED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V269000 (SEAT BELTS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GATEWAY CHEVROLET CADILLAC (LOCATED AT 501 38TH ST S, FARGO, ND 58103, (701) 282-5522) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PRETENSION CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

MY 2011 MALIBU HAS FAULTY HEADLIGHTS THAT CONTINUOUSLY GO OUT AND CANNOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT REMOVING THE FRONT BUMPER WHICH REQUIRES THE ASSISTANCE OF A MECHANIC AND THEREFORE COSTS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO DO. EVEN AFTER THE BULB IS CHANGED, IT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO GO OUT AGAIN AS QUICKLY AS HOURS LATER. THIS CREATES UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS AS OFTEN TIMES THE OUTAGES OCCUR SPONTANEOUSLY, AT NIGHT, AND ON DARK ROADWAYS. IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS AND FINANCIALLY TAXING TO OWN AND OPERATE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS.

YEAR 2008-2012 MODELS HAVE A REOCCURRING HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHT BULBS / CONNECTORS TEND TO BURN OUT AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. CAUSING REMOVAL OF FRONT BUMPER JUST TO ACCESS HEADLIGHT HOUSING. PRICING RANGING $100-$150 PER HOUR JUST IN LABOR.

NUMEROUS DASH LIGHTS RANDOMLY COME ON SERVICE ESC SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL ENGINE POWER REDUCED ENGINE POWER REDUCED FOLLOWED BY ENGINE DISABLED . AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE DIES AND YOU ARE UNEXPECTEDLY FACED WITH THE SURPRISED HORROR OF BEING AT A ROLL UN ABLE TO POWER OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC .AND AT THE MERCY OF THE EXACT LOCATION OF ALL THESE THINGS SUDDENLY HAPPENING AT RANDOM ALL THE WARNINGS ARE QUICK SO QUICK U HAVE NO TIME TO PULL OVER BEFOR YOU ARE AT A DEAD ROLL . TODAY MY MOM N ME AS WELL AS MY GIRLFRIEND WERE ALL MOST KILLED BY A SEMI TRUCK CARRYING HOT ASPHALT . I COULDNT IMAGINE HAVING TO BE SMASHED TO DEATH WITH NO CHANCE TO REACT AND TO TOP IT OFF POSSIBLY EVEN BURNED TO DEATH CRUSHED ALL WHILE HAVEING TO HEAR MY MOTHERS SCREAMS IN MY LAST MOMENTS OF LIFE.PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND IVE FOUND MANY FORMS WHERE PPL AREHAVEIBG SIMPLER ISSUE. THE WHOLE SMASHED BURNED BY HOT ASPHALT SENERIO WAS ONLY A FLASH OF IMAGES I IMAGINED BUT THE FIVE FOOT OF SPACE BETWEEN THE TRUCK THAT FACT ALL MOST SIDE SWIPED US TODAY IS AND WAS FACT THAT CAUSESD THIS HORRIBLE VISION DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE ENGINEERING IN SOME DESINE OF THE CAR SHE BOUGHT ONLY DAYS AGO FROM HWY 59 MOTORS CAR LOT . THANK YOU

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR EVERYDAY AND ON SUNDAY 11/24/19, I REVERSED FROM DRIVEWAY AND WHEN SHIFTED TO DRIVE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I TRIED NEUTRAL AND MANUAL AND NOTHING BUT THE REVERSE WAS FINE. AN ODD THING IS THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION OIL SUPPLY LINE, A SMALL PIECE THAT DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL SO NOT SURE HOW IT WAS DAMAGED WHICH IS CAUSING THE CAR TO NOT MOVE WHEN IN DRIVE. THIS DEFINITELY IS AN ISSUE WITH GMC CARS AS I HAVE RESEARCHED IT IN MULTIPLE CHEVY BLOGS. IF A MECHANIC IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS SMALL CAUSE THEY WOULD SUGGEST TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION UNNECESSARILY WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR SOMETHING SIMPLE.

I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY HAD TO CHANGE MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT BULBS AND THAT IS A HAZARD AND WITHOUT THEM YOU GET A TICKET. THIS HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT AT LEAST 3 TIMES A YEAR. I AM DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IF I GET OUT AND HIT THE HEADLIGHT IT MAY OR MAY NOT COME BACK ON. THIS STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. PROVIDE FORM TO SEND TO GENERAL MOTORS TO REFUND ME THE $700 PLUS DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AT THE RESIDENCE BY A MOBILE MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CALIPER DISINTEGRATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME, BUT A SECOND REPAIR WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

MY POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE SERVICE ESC LIGHT APPEARS AND THEN WILL TURN OFF WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF
