2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

MALIBU 2002 TURN SIGNALS AND TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR DO NOT WORK AND WILL COME ON EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS BUT CHEVY HAS NOT RECALLED THE 2002 MODEL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY OR JUST AROUND TOWN. DO NOT WANT TO TAKE CAR IN AND SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IF THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE CORRECTED LIKE I'VE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE SAY THEY HAVE TRIED TO DO. *JB

THE TURN SIGNAL ON MY 2002 CHEVROLET INTERMITTENTLY FAILS TO WORK CAUSING THE NEED TO USE HAND SIGNALS. WHEN IT WORKS OR NOT IS UNPREDICTABLE. I SAW THAT THE NHTSA HAS RECEIVED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU.*JB

TWO WEEKS AGO MY WATER LEVEL LIGHT CAME ON. I ADDED DEXCOOL COOLANT PER MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATION. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON AND GO OFF FOR APPROX 1 WEEK. I ADDED DEXCOOL COOLANT EACH TIME. AFTER APPROX. 1 WEEK OF DOING THIS, THE LIGHT STOPPED COMING ON. YESTERDAY, WHEN I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE AFTER WORK, THERE WAS COOLANT IN THE LOT UNDER MY VEHICLE. I FILLED THE RESERVOIR UP AGAIN AND DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. TODAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR GARAGE WHO INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY LOWER INTAKE GASKET AND THERMOSTAT GASKET AND VALVE COVER GASKET AT A COST OF $890.00. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT GM HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN REFERENCE TO THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THEY FIXED FOUR OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS POSSIBLY DUE TO THE USE OF THE GM-RECOMMENDED DEXCOOL WHICH GM HAS SINCE DISCONTINUED USE OF. *NM

DT: THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT ALWAYS WORK. CONSUMERTR CONTACTED CHEVROLET CORPORATION, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED DUE TO VIN. BUT, NEED TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THIS INCIDENT H HAPPEN AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.*AK

TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK AND INDICATOR DOES NOT FLASH ON DASHBOARD. FAILURE BEGAN AS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE, BUT IS NOW CONSTANT. THERE IS NO RECALL ON FOR THIS ISSUE. REPLACEMENT PARTS WORK FOR A SHORT TIME, THEN FAIL. *JB

2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU, TURN SIGNAL MALFUNCTION THAT LEADS TO TOTAL FAILURE OF THE TURN SIGNALS LIGHTS AND THE INDICATOR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.*JB

MY TURN SIGNALS WORK WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS NOW AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. SOMETIMES YOU CAN HEAR THE TURN SIGNAL BUT THE LIGHT IS NOT ACTUALLY ON. ALSO, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY ROTORS ON THE CAR THREE TIMES ALL READY AND THE CAR IS NOT EVEN THREE YEARS OLD YET. I AM QUITE UPSET BECAUSE BETWEEN THE TURN SIGNALS AND THE BRAKES I AM AT A HIGH RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND EVERYDAY I GET IN THE CAR AND DRIVE WITH HER I AM PUTTING BOTH OF OUR LIVES AT RISKS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT IS THREE YEARS AND YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON EITHER OF THESE POTENTIALLY LIFE ENDANGERING ISSUES WHEN THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH AT LEAST ONE OF THESE ISSUES ON PREVIOUS MODELS. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?? *JB

I HAVE HEARD RECENTLY ABOUT TURN SIGNAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU AND I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THE SAME CONDITION. SOMETIMES THE WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. IF THEY DON'T WORK RIGHT AWAY YOU PUSH THE HAZARD BUTTON AND THE SIGNALS WILL WORK FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND THEN YOU HAVE START THE PROCESS OVER AGAIN. I'VE READ THAT CHEVY HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH EARLIER MODELS. LET ME TELL YOU THE PROBLEMS IS CONTINUING.*JB

DT THE CONTACT STATED THE BLINKERS WORKED POORLY. SOMETIMES THEY WILL WORK AND THEY WILL CLICK AT A FAST PACE, FASTER THAN WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WERE BLINKING. OTHER TIMES THE BLINKERS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL, AND THEN THERE WAS NO CLICKING, NO NOISE, AND NO LIGHTS. NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ON AUGUST 1, 2005. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS RECALL , BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK UPDATED 11/17/2005. *NM

BCM CODE AND ECM CODE FAILURE. ONLY 65000 MILE ON CAR AND THE MAIN COMPUTER OF MALIBU 2002 IS GOING OUT. EXCELLENT MAINTENANCE KEPT. OUT 7,000 DOLLARS BECAUSE OF PROBLEM. *NM
