2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

HEAD LIGHTS BEEN REPAIRED 3 TIMES COSTING 220 EACH TIME... SEEMS TO BE NO KNOWN FIX FOR THIS POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ERROR....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR RANDOMLY FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON MARCH 1, 2017 TO INSPECT AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR RANDOMLY NOT STARTING HAD SOLENOIDS REPLACED AND FUEL PUMP. IT STARTED A FEW TIMES THEN WOULDN'T START ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BUT NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. HAD DIAGNOSTIC READING DONE WHEN IT WAS DOING THIS THE CODE READING WAS VEHICLE SUBMERSION. THE MECHANIC ASKED IF IT HAD EVER BEEN FLOODED LIKE IN DEEP WATER. NEVER HAD BEEN BUT THAT WAS THE CODE READING. HE REDID DIAGNOSTICS DIFFERENT CODES THEN CAME UP SHOWING OTHER CRAZY THINGS. NONE OF THESE WERE CORRECT. ANYWAY LONG STORY SHORT 3 DIFFERENT GARAGES HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I TRADED THE CAR FOR A NEW ONE BUT I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE ALOT OF PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL CAR AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM MY CAR HAD 73000 MILES. SOMETIMES IT'S SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS SOMETHING FAULTY IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT'S NOT SHOWING UP UNTIL A FEW YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. I HAVE RECEIPTS OF REPAIRS AND PHONE NUMBERS TO GARAGES.

PASSENGER DOOR WON'T OPEN. DOOR LOCK GOES UP UND DOWN MANUALLY AND WITH POWER LOCK BUTTON OR FOB, DOOR WON'T OPEN. MANY REPORTS ONLINE OF THIS ISSUE. DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

MY CAR HAS RANDOMLY NOT BEEN STARTING. ONE TIME I GO OUT AND IT STARTS AND ANOTHER TIME I GO OUT AND IT JUST CRANKS BUT DOESN'T START. HAVE TESTED THE OBD BUT NO CODES COME UP.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CAR WENT INTO REDUCED POWER AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM THE BACK BY A SEMI.

TAMARA RECALL I WAS TOLD I THAT IF I HAD GOTTEN INTO A ACCIDENT THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY AND IT'S GOING TO COST ME THOUSANDS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED .... THIS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ERROR
