2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ILLUMINATED AIR BAG LIGHT AFTER HAVING BATTERY REPLACED. *LD *JS

TAKATA INFLATORS WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER AND TURNED CAR OFF. SAT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. STARTED TO DRIVE BACK TO MY HOUSE AND GOT ONLY 10 FEET BEFORE THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF, AND WHEEL LOCKED UP. PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN, AND IT TURNED OVER BUT SHUT ITSELF OFF AGAIN, WITH NOTICE OF ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAK. WOULD NOT START THE THIRD TIME. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, AND BEING A MOTHER I NEED THIS CAR TO WORK AND TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS. IF CHEVY REALLY CARED ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS, THEY WOULD READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT MANY OF US ARE HAVING ON THE SAME ISSUE AND RECALL OR FIX SOMETHING. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED.

I SWERVED AND HIT BRAKS HARD TO MISS DEER WENT ON TO SHOULDER OF ROAD I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN MY CAR AND BOTH CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPOLYED - MY CAR IS BEING DEEMED TOTALED BECAUSE OF THE EXSTENSIVE AIRBAG DAMAGE TO INSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 55 TO 60 MPH, THE CHARGING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO ENGAGE INTO DISCHARGE MODE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V173000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

THE AIRBAG LITE CAME ON AND SAYS SERVICE AIRBAGS, AND DINGS AND KNOW IT IS ON ALL THE TIME AND WILL NOT GO OUT, I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF RECALLS ON AIRBAGS AND WAS WONDERING IF THIS COULD ALSO BE COMING AS A RECALL

CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOID WAS REPLACED UNDER SPECIAL WARRANTY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AFTER THIS WAS REPLACED. WAS TOLD IT WAS NOW THE INTAKE SOLENOID. THIS ALSO SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE SAME WARRANTY. WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 258.00 TO REPLACE.

HAD AN ACCIDENT ON 5/24/2018 IT WAS A HEAD ON COLLISION WHERE THE AT FAULT DRIVER BROKE THE LIGHT AND RAN IN YO MY CAR THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY I SUSTAINED A FRACTURED ANKLE AND A NECK INJURY DUE TO THE ACCIDENT

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE ISSUE OF ATALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE ELECTRICAL POWER WILL CUT OUT AFFECTING MY BREAKS, POWER STEERING, GAUGES, AND ENGINE. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED OVER MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON, CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED ONE TIME AND IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICS GO BLANK, STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOCKED UP BUT I ASSUME IT HAS LOST POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT CORRECTS ITSELF IN FEW SECONDS BUT ONCE NEARLY SWERVED INTO A CAR AS THE WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN.
