2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

INTERMITTENTLY THE TURN SIGNALS DID NOT OPERATE, CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS NOT TO BE AWARE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING.

1ST ISSUE: VEHICLE HORN NOT WORKING AT STEERING COLUMN. REPLACED FUSES UNDER HOOD AND STILL DOES NOT WORK. HORN DOES WORK WHEN VEHICLE'S PANIC ALARM IS SOUNDED AND WHEN REMOTE LOCKS ARE ACTIVATED. WILL ATTEMPTING TO GET VEHICLE FIXED BUT CONCERNED ABOUT PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. 2ND ISSUE: THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS ON/ OFF SENSOR.

THE TURN SIGNALS STOP WORKING FOR NO REASON.SOMETIMES TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT CAN MAKE THEM WORK AGAIN OR PULLING THE BOTTLE/CAN HOLDER OUT CAN HELP. LATELY THE FUEL INDICATER AND THE A/C WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED BUT MAY COME ON 2 OR 3 BLOCKS DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE AND OR THE SERVICE AUTO LIGHT MAY COME ON. THE FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND DO NOT APPEAR TO BE DAMAGED BUT SOMETIMES ROTATING THEM WILL CAUSE THE PART NOT WORKING TO START WORKING AGAIN. I THINK THERE MAY BE AN ELECTRIAL PROBLEM IN THE PANEL BEHIND THE FUSES TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURING WITH NO APPARENT PATTERN EXCEPT FOR THE USE OF THE BOTTLE/CAN HOLDER.*AK

I HAVE A 2000 MALIBU WITH 16.000 MILES ON IT. THE FUEL PUMP JUST WENT. THE MECHANICS I SPOKE WITH FELT THIS TO BE HIGHLY UNUSUAL. HE FELT THAT THERE MOST LIKELY WAS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *AK

THE LAST REPAIR WAS A NEW GASKET SET PER SERVICE BULLITIN #03-06-01-010 DATED MARCH OF 2003. IS THERE ANY OTHER COURSE OF ACTION THAT I CAN TAKE. I CANNOT AFFORD ANY MORE EXPENSES ON IT.
