2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE REDUCED POWER ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TSC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON. THE GAS PEDAL WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN ALSO I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY THANKFUL I ABLE TO. I DID GET IT HOME SLOWLY THE PEDAL IS STILL UNRESPONSIVE AT THIS TIME AND THE ENGINE LIGHT, TSC LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT IS STILL ON.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE TURNS OFF COMPLETELY. WHEN BROUGHT IN TO BE LOOKED AT THE SYSTEM SAID THAT THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE CANT USE HEATER OR A/C WITHOUT THE CAR DYING 100% OF THE TIME.

TRACTION FEATURE FAILS WHEN BRAKING. THE BRAKES WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO TRAVEL FORWARD ALTHOUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEING PRESSED. THIS HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN BRAKING ON AN INCLINE OR IN WET CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENS WHETHER THE SPEED IS FAST OR SLOW. HAVE BROUGHT VEHICLE TO GRAFF CHEVY FOR RECALL REPAIR, BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS. HAD BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS CHECKED BY FIRESTONE WHO STATED THAT NEITHER OF THESE NEEDED REPAIR, AND THEREFORE, ARE NOT ADDING TO OR CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

POWER STEERING FAILS WHEN ACCELERATING. BROUGHT CAR TO VANDERGRIFF CHEVY INITIALLY TO BE REPAIRED, AND WAS CHARGED OVER $600. FOUND OUT ABOUT RECALL NOTICE, BUT DEALERSHIP DENIED ONE WAS ISSUED AND REFUSED REFUND. CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS BLOW OUT AND MUST BE REPLACED REGULARLY (ABOUT EVERY 3 MONTHS). BROUGHT CAR TO GRAFF CHEVY FOR POWER STEERING AND LIGHT SIGNAL RECALL REPAIRS. CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. INFORMED GRAFF CHEVY AND RETURNED FOR REPAIRS. STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS IN SPITE OF REPAIRS DONE.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WARNING LAMP GOES IS ON, VERY HARD TO STEER CAR WHEN THIS OCCURS, I PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD SHUT DOWN AND RESTART AND ALL IS OK FOR A DAY OR TWO. , HAD TORQUE ANGLE SENSOR RECALL DONE. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY A LOT AND THIS IS VERY SCARY. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT SOME OF THE MALIBU "S HAVE SAME SYMPTOMS MY CURRENT MILES ARE 58,000/ WILL BE TAKING IT TO A CHEVY DEALER TO DISCUSS THIS ''SAFETY '' ISSUE. SOME ONE MY FAMILY JUST HAD THE ELECTRIC ASSIST REPLACED FREE THRU FORD, FOR SIMILAR ISSUE. THIS WARNING LIGHT ON MY CHEVY MALIBU WILL APPEAR AT ALL DIFFERENT DRIVING , CITY. TURNING, HIGHWAY.

I BROUGHT OUR 2006 MALIBU MAXX IN FOR A 5000 MILE TIRE BALANCE AND ROTATION.. I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD TWO MORE BENT RIMS ON THE CAR.. THIS AFTER REPLACING TWO ALREADY SEVERAL YEARS BACK.. I WAS INFORMED BY THE TIRE TECH THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CHEVY RIMS AND THAT THEY ARE SEEING THIS SOFT RIM PROBLEM ON A REGULAR BASIS.. THIS CAN GET EXPENSIVE QUICK AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF AND WHEN A RECALL WILL BE INITIATED? SOFT RIMS CAN CAUSE COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE AND BLOWOUTS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAN BE CATASTROPHIC...
