2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

I OWN A 2000 CHEVEROLET MALIBU. WHEN I WAS GETTING AN INSPECTION IT FAILED BECAUSE THE STEERING RACK WAS LOOSE, ONE OF THE SCREWS HOLDING IT TOGATHER,BACKED OUT. IT WAS STILL THERE BUT MONRO DOES NOT DO THIS TYPE OF WORK ON CARS. I WAS TOLD BY MONRO MUFFLER/BRAKE THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO A CHEVEROLET DEALER TO HAVE THIS WORK DONE. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU, STEVEN M. CROWE [email protected]

WHILE DRIVING, INTERMITTENTLY TURN SIGNALS FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO NHTSA RECALL (03V327000); HOWEVER, CONSUMER'S VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *LA

TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS/HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS FAILED WHEN IT RAINED. A RECALL WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNALS THEY WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS OPERATED INTERMITTENTLY. *AK

MAKE : CHEVROLET MODEL : MALIBU YEAR : 2000 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 03V327000 RECALL DATE : AUG 27, 2003 COMPONENT: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED : 670740 MY 2000 CHEV MALIBU LS HAS HAD THE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE ABOVE RECALL FOR TWO MONTHS AND THE CHEV DEALERSHIP AND GM HAVE REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR. TODAY I PAID FOR THE SERVICE MYSELF BUT WANT A REFUND. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH GM BUT THEY SAID NO.

WHILE DRIVING 50-55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONSUMER COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. SHE THEN ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE STALLED THREE MORE TIMES. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE FUEL PUMP SENDER ASSEMBLY, FUEL HARNESS AND FUEL FILTER NEEDED REPLACEMENT. *JB *LA

INTERMITTENTLY TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD WARNING LIGHT WERE NOT WORKING. DEALER STATED THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *AK THE TURN SIGNALS HAD BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR SOME TIME. THE CONSUMER REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER BEFORE THE RECALL WAS INITIATED.

TURN SIGNALS ARE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. CONSUMER FEELS THIS MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN MAKING A TURN AND DRIVER BEHIND DOESN'T SEE THE BLINKERS. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 200 MALIBU'S, BUT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE. *JB

TURN SIGNAL FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. RECALL 03V327000 WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

MY 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU HAD 37,500 MILES ON IT WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE FIRESTONE AFFINITY P21560R15 TIRES WERE CRACKING. THE DEEP GROOVES BETWEEN THE TREADS HAD CRACKS AND THE SHOULDER OF THE TIRE HAD A WEB OF CRACKS. THERE WAS STILL A LOT OF TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS OCCUR ON ANY TIRES I HAVE OWNED IN MY 40 YEARS OF DRIVING. ONE LOCAL TIRE STORE ADVISED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON IN AFFINITY TIRES BECAUSE FIRESTONE DOESN'T PUT ENOUGH MOISTURE INTO THE COMPOUND THEREBY SHORTENING THE LIFE OF THE TIRE.*AK
