2011 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

LOWBEAM CONSTANTLY GOES OUT. AFTER RESTARTING THE COMPUTER THE FUSE HAS FIRE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN GOES OUT AGAIN.

GOOD MORNING THE COMPLAINTS ARE GOING FOR OVER 3 YEARS, AND CHEVY IS IGNORING US ALL . I ALSO COMPLAIN DIRECT TO THEM AND THEY PLAY DUMB REF CHEVY MALIBU 2011 WHY ISNT CHEVY HAVING A RE CALL ON THE HEAD LIGHTS ISSUE OF THE MALIBU?? IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. OVER 80% OF MALIBU OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING AND REGISTERING COMPLAINTS ON THE CONSTANT BURNING OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND HEADLIGHT SOCKET OF A MALIBU I REPLACED MINE 4 TIMES OVER 8 MONTHS, THE COST IS OUTRAGEOUS AND THE TIME OUT OF OUR WORK AND LIVES IS EVEN MORE AGGRAVATE. CHEVY IS AWARE OF IT AND IS CHOOSING TO DO NOTHING AND LET US PICK UP THE COST OF A "DEFECTIVE" ITEM IN THE CAR. I APPRECIATE IF CHEVY COULD REFUND IT AND FIX IT AT NO COST RIGHT NOW, AS I ALREADY GOT PULLED OVER BY COPS DUE TO IT STOP WORKING 1 MONTH AFTER I HAD REPLACED.

DRIVER & PASSENGER HEADLIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT OR NOT FUNCTIONING. I'VE REPLACED THE BULBS 4 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. I'VE READ ON MALIBU BLOGS THAT A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING SAME LIGHTING ISSUE ON THEIR MALIBU

WHEN EXCELLERATING FROM A SITTING POSITION THE ENGINE DOESN'T EXCELLERATE AT THE SAME TIME. THERE IS HESITATION FROM STEPPING ON THE GAS TO ACTUALLY MOVING AND ONCE THE EXCELLERATION KICKS IN THE CAR PROPELLED QUITE FAST ALMOST LIKE A STICKY CHOKE.

IT STARTED WITH MY LOW BEAM GOING OUT. I REPLACED IT. THEN THE LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN REPLACED IT THEN BOTH LIGHTS WENT OUT REPLACED BOTH LOW BEAM NOW MY RUNNING LIGHTS ARE OUT. I HAVE NO TAIL LIGHTS. THIS HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I ONLY HAVE HIGH BEAMS AT THIS TIME. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED FUSES, CONTROL ARMS,,RELAYS ETC ON TOP OF THREE SETS OF BULBS.

WHEN I START THE CAR THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON ESC COMES UP AND SAYS IT TURNED OFF . WHEN STATIONARY IT WILL JUST DIE, WHEN DRIVING IT WILL JUST DIE DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M GOING 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OF CITY STREETS!!!!! TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT I'VE ADD MECHANICS TELL ME IT'S MY COMPUTER BUT THEY DON'T WORK ON MY MAKE OF A CAR. THE CAR MAY START UP OR NOT. I'VE READ OF A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BACK IN 2014 FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. THEY SAID THEY FIXED? AND THIS HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2016 AFTER THEY KEPT IT FOR 90DAYS FOR THE SEAT BELT RECALL.

THE STEERING WHEEL MATERIAL IS DETERIORATING CAUSING THE OPERATOR TO LOSE CONTACT WITH THE WHEEL WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL. THE HANDS EITHER SLIP OFF THE WHEEL OR CATCH CAUSING AN ABRUPT STOP WHILE CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE MATERIAL IS DETERIORATING AT A RATE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL BE DOWN TO THE METAL AND NOT PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION TO THE OPERATOR AND WOULD CAUSE INJURY.

THE CAR HAD A "SHORT" IN THE BLINKER. WHEN TRYING TO LOCATE THE SHORT, THE CAR WENT COMPLETELY OFF. IT APPEARS TO HA E TRIGGERED AN ANTI THEFT DEVICE. IN THIS MODE, YOU CAN DO NOTHING. SO, EVEN IN MY DRIVEWAY, I CAN'T GET THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO TOW IT. EVERYTHING IS LOCKED DOWN DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE BLINKER.

MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHOW THE OIL 100 ONE DAY AND NEXT IT'S 50% AND THE TIRES SENSERS WOULD SHOW LOW WHEN THE TIRE WOULD BE FULL AIR BAG WOULD SAY TO GET CHECKED THEN I'D TAKE IT IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE GOOD . NOTHING WRONG IT'S VERY ODD AND OFF
