2011 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

MY LOW BEAMS KEEP GOING OUT ON BOTH SIDES. ALL OTHER LIGHTS SEEM FINE WITH NO APPARENT ISSUES. I HAVE CHANGED OUT THE BULBS, THEN FOUND OUT THEY WERE STILL GOOD ALL ALONG. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE CONNECTOR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CONNECTOR WAS BURNED MOSTLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I CHANGED OUT BOTH DUE TO THE FACT YOU HAVE TO REMOVE/PARTIAL REMOVE THE BUMPER IN ORDER TO WORK ON THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL WORK FOR A WHILE THEN STOP AGAIN USUALLY ONLY ONE SIDE AT A TIME. I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND WHO ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON A 2012 THAT IT MAY BE THE AUTO LIGHT STAYING ON AND THE CIRCUIT MAY BE OVERHEATING. NOT SURE IF THIS IS ACCURATE BUT IT SOUNDS LOGICAL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 4 YEARS NOW WITH THIS MONTH BEING THE MOST RECENT AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS SINCE REPLACING WIRES AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY KNOW RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

3RD TIME PASSANGER HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT IN THE LAST YEAR. ALONG WITH THE PREVIOUS ISSUES I REPORTED

LIGHTS ON PANAL COME ON GO OFF WHEN I STOP THE CAR AND TURN BACK ON. I WAS DRIVING MAYBE 30-35 MPH ON CITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT. NO WE RAIN, POT HOLES OR SPEED BUMPS

1) SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY WHEN STARTING VEHICLE OR WHILE IN AUTO IS IN MOTION. 2) INTERNAL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD DIMS WHILE DRIVING PERIODICALLY WHILE AUTO IS IN MOTION.

MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM THE DOCTORS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT CAUSE HER TO HIT THE CURB AND POSSIBLY DO MORE DAMAGE. SHE WAS ONLY DOING 30 MPH ON A BUSY STREET. I HAVE A DATE WITH A DEALERSHIP ON THE 27TH OF MARCH 2019 TO WAIT FOR THE VERDICT OF WHAT THERE GOING TO SAY. I HAVE READ ALOT OF THE POST ON HERE AND HAVE SEEN THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT I HAVE CHANGED THEM SEVERAL TIMES WITH DIFFERENT BRANDS AND THEY CONTINUE TO GO OUT. I HAVE TO RUN WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON BECAUSE THE LIGHTS KEEPS BURNING OUT. THIS IS CAUSE AND SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD INVOLVE POINTS ON MY LICENSE IF PULLED OVER. THIS IS CRITICAL SINCE I'M A CDL DRIVER. THE STEERING COULD CAUSE DEATH IF TRAVELING AT A HIGHER SPEED. GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND IF PUBLIC ISN'T NOTIFIED THAT IT'S FAULTY COULD ALSO INVOLVE A LAWSUIT.

WAS DRIVING MY 2011 CHEVY MALIBU LTZ WHEN I NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT STARTED LEANING TO THE RIGHT SIDE. I INSPECTED THE UNDERSIDE TO SEE THE CROSS BAR BROKEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE. NOW THE SEAT ROCKS AND IS VERY UNSTABLE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF REPORTS CLAIM THAT MY THE SAME DESIGN FLAW. WHY IS GM NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

TAKATA RECALL. BRAKE APPLY SENSOR FLUCTUATES ON AND OFF ALSO TURNING SIGNAL IS NOT WORKING ON THE LEFT OR RIGHT EVEN THOUGH THE BUGS BEEN CHANGED AND INSIDE THE VEHICLE IT SHOWS A TURNING SIGNAL, NO REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN DRIVING OR AT A COMPLETE STOP. EVEN THOUGH FUSES AND NEW BULBS REPLACED, ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE WITH RADIO AND CIGARETTE LIGHTER, ALSO REPLACE BULBS AND HEADLIGHTS AND THEY CONTINUE TO SHORTEN OUT AND BLOW

ON FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 22, 2019 WHILE DRIVING MY POWER STEERING WAS LOST. THE POWER STEERING ESC MESSAGE CAME ON. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY .HUFFINES CHEVROLET PLANO REPLACED AND PROGRAMED STEERING TORQUE SENSOR FOR $590.18. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR WAS 154,257 SO THE #15356: SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST - (AUG, 2015) DOCUMENT ID: 4259502 WHICH STATES 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES DID NOT APPLY.

UPDATE ON COMPLAINT #'S 1144041 & 11172602. ON 2/8/19, I WAS 2 BLOCKS FROM WORK WHEN MESSAGES DISPLAYED FOR (SERVICE ECS, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT). I DROVE RIGHT FROM WORK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH WAS 9 MILES AWAY, WITH MY HAZARDS ON AND AT A MAX SPEED OF 25 MPH. I DROVE IT INTO THE BAY AND TOLD A SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHILE THE PROBLEM WE KEEP TRYING TO FIX WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. HE TRIED TO GET SOMEONE TO COME HOOK UP THE CODE READER TO IT BUT WAS UNABLE TO SO HE TURNED OFF MY CAR. I RECEIVED A VOICEMAIL MID-DAY MONDAY 2/11/19 TO SAY THAT BECAUSE MY BATTERY HAD BEEN OUT OF MY CAR TOO LONG, THEY HAD TO RELEARN THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. I LEFT A MESSAGE TO SPECIFICALLY SAY THAT THE LAST TIME THE BATTERY HAD BEEN OUT OF MY CAR TO MY KNOWLEDGE WAS 3/2018. WHEN THEY CALLED BACK, THEIR CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE BATTERY HAD NOT BEEN INSTALLED OR SECURED PROPERLY WHICH CAUSED THEM TO HAVE TO RELEARN THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. ON 2/19/2019, IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THEY COULD NOT READ A CODE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN, SO WAS AGAIN SENT TO COME BACK WHEN IT WAS OCCURRING SO THEY COULD HOOK UP THE CODE READER WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING. ON 3/5 I DROVE MY CAR TO THEM WHILE IT WAS DISPLAYING THE MESSAGES AND RUNNING ROUGH. THEY AGAIN TRIED TO PUT THE BLAME ON THE BATTERY. EVEN THOUGH THE CODES WHERE P2176 AND P2135, THE RECOMMENDED FIX WAS NEW BATTERY AND BATTERY CABLES ($733). I STILL HAD WARRANTY FOR THAT BATTERY AS IT WAS INSTALLED NEARLY A YEAR AGO AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENCE, SO I WENT BACK TO THAT AUTO SHOP. HE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING ASSOCIATED TO BATTERY BUT DID FIND GM BULLETIN FROM 2012 (PIP5019). HE RE-CRIMPED THROTTLE BODY CIRCUIT PINS AFTER DOING A PEN OUT TEST AT ECU. IT IS NOW 3/25 AND NO OTHER ISSUES! HOPING WE HAVE FOUND ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. NO THANKS TO DEALER OR CHEVY CUSTOMER CARE...
