2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY MALIBU AND IT WEARS OUT BRAKE PADS ON LESS THEN 10,000 MILES. GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND BLAMES THE CUSTOMER'S DRIVING HABITS. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO THERE IS NOT MUCH I CAN DO SINCE GM SAYS IT IS THE BRAKE PADS. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING ELSE CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN, BUT GM REFUSES TO LISTEN. *LA

AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL ON AUG 27, 2003; NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 03V327000 REGARDING THE HAZARD WARNING FLASHER ON A 2000 CHEVY MALIBU, I CONTACTED A CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER WAS KARL CHEVROLET IN ANKENY IOWA. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN RELATED THAT MY CAR WAS MADE BEFORE THE CARS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS STATED IN THE RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT. MY TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT WORK AT TIMES. THERE IS NO PATTERN AS TO WHEN THIS WILL OCCUR. THE VIN IS [XXX]. UPDATED 07/27/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I CALLED GM ABOUT RECALL #03043 AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY 2000 MALIBU THAT IS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE 2001 MALIBU IS HAVE THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. *NM

WHILE DRIVING THE TURN SIGNALS MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS NOT TO BE AWARE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

GOING TO WORK CAR JUST DIES. WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. TOOK TO MY MECHANIC. HE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. MY CAR IS A 2000 MAILBU WHICH ONLY HAS 15,000 MILES ON IT . CANNOT BELIVE THAT THIS PART WOULD FAIL THAT SOON. THIS REPAIR COST ME 500.00 THE PART ALONE WAS OF COURSE A DEALER ONLY PART. WAS 350.00 PLUS A FILTER. OUTRAGEOUS. ARE THESE THINGS MADE OUT OF GOLD. *AK

WHILE TURNING TURN SIGNAL FLASHER LIGHT FAILED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

GM HAS A RECALL ON CHEVROLET MALIBU'S YEAR 2000 (HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH REPLACEMENT) I HAVE A CHEVROLET MALIBU YEAR 2000 WITH A FAULTY HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH, BUT MS. GAY MILLER OF CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID, "YOUR VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL." HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULD REPAIR SOME FAULTY HAZARD LIGHT SWITCHES ON CHEVROLET MALIBU'S YEAR 2000 BUT NOT ALL CHEVROLET MALIBU'S YEAR 2000 WITH FAULTY HAZARD LIGHT SWITCHES.

DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE HAZARD WARNING SWITCH AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE CONSUMER ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL FITTING WHICH WAS LEAKING GAS. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB

I OWN A 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY TURN SIGNALS AS MANY OTHERS ARE AS WELL. GM HAD A RECALL ON THE 2000 MALIBU BUT TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT REQUIRED TO RECIEVE A RECALL BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER BUT THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR A FEE. I THINK GM SHOULD FIX MINE SINCE THEY ALREADY ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AND IT SOUNDS SOUNDS THE SAME AS THE RECALL. I THINK THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *AK

MY CAR HAS HAD THE SIGNAL LIGHTS REPLACED, THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, & THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED ALL PROBLEMS W/ MY CAR BEFORE I HAD REPLACED WERE VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME & MY 2 CHILDREN. I WILL NEVER BUY OR REFER ANYONE TO BUY A CHEVORLET MALIBU . *AK
