2001 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

INTERMITTENT ISSUE AT START WITH VEHICLE RPMS ELEVATING TO 3500, IF PUT INTO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SPEEDS TO 45 MPH. HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT TIMES (COLD, WARM, HOT). HAVE HAD IAC AND TPS SENSORS REPLACED (2 TIMES) AND MOST RECENTLY THE POWER CONTROL MODULE. EACH FIX WORKS FOR A FEW WEEKS, THEN ISSUE BEGINS AGAIN. MOST RECENTLY FREMONT CHEVROLET HAD VEHICLE FOR 10 DAYS AND COULD NOT GET IT TO REPEAT; THEREFORE, COULD NOT HAVE COMPUTER READ OR PROVIDE PROBLEM AND REPAIR. NO SERVICE COMPLETED. *TR

2001 MALIBU SECURITY SYSTEM - FAILED TO ALLOW OWNER TO START THE CAR. REQUIRED 10 MINUTE WAIT TO RE-SET. ALSO FAILED. OWNER UNABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK LATE AT NITE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES IN PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. DEALERS ONLY ABLE TO TEMPORARILY FIX PROBLEM AT HUGE COST. THERE ARE MANY, MANY PROBLEMS REPORTED ON THIS "SECURITY" SYSTEM. WHY ISN'T GM ORDERED TO RECALL AND REPAIR? *TR

MY 2001 CHEVY MALIBU HAS AN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM FEATURE ON IT. HOWEVER IT DOESN'T READ MY KEY RIGHT AND MOST OF THE TIME WON'T START. AND WHEN IT DOES START IT WILL OUT OF NOWHERE SHUT OFF WHILE IM DRIVING. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON ANY ROAD REALLY, IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN A FATALITY. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY EVERY OTHER MALIBU OWNER HAS THE EXACT SAME PASS-LOCK THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM. IT ONLY TAKES A MATTER OF TIME. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND I CANT AFFORD THIS THANK YOU. *TR

REOCCURING ABS WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME WITH THE ABS LIGHT DISPLAYING. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES AND PADS, ROTOR AND HUB KIT TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE AND ALSO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS. DEALER UNABLE TO DEFINE IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE OR TARGET THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM OR WHAT THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM COULD BE. GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE EVEN TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE FOR POSSIBLE RECALL. THEY HAVE PLACED THE BURDEN OF RESPONSIBILITY ON THE OWNER.

WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL MY CAR KEEPS ACCELERATING. FROM A STOP IT WILL ACCELERATE TO 45 MPH WITHOUT ME TOUCHING GAS PEDAL. ON THE FREEWAY IT KEEPS ACCELERATING UNTIL I BRAKE.THIS CONDITION IS INTERMITTENT AND CAN BE CANCELED BY ME TURNING OFF CAR AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. I HAVE A 2001 CHEVY MALIBU

2001 CHEVROLET MALIBU: ANTI THEFT/PASS LOCK PROBLEMS. SPORATIC ISSUE CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NOT START. MULTIPLE TOWS AND SERVICE CHARGE WITH NO CONSISTENT FIX.

MY WIFE DROVE OUR 2001 MALIBU AROUND IN THE MORNING, AFTER PARKING IT IN THE DRIVEWAY UNTIL THE AFTERNOON IT WOULD NOT START. IT SAT FOR 3 DAY UNTIL I COULD RESEARCH HOW TO FIX IT. THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM WAS FAILING. THE SYSTEM WILL NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR KEY AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES, NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET. TO BYPASS IT YOU HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINS AND HOPE THE RESET TAKES PLACE AND A REPLACEMENT COULD COST YOU UPWARDS OF A THOUSAND DOLLARS. A TEN MINUTE WAIT TO START A CAR I OWN IS RIDICULOUS.*TR
