I PURCHASED NEW IN 2012. IT HAS 25,000 MILES AND NEVER BEEN ABUSED OR IN AN ACCIDENT. ALL FOUR TIRES FIRESTONE FR 710 P215 55R 17 HAVE EXTENSIVE CRACKING ON SIDEWALL WHERE THE TREAD BEGINS ON CIRCUMFERENCE AND THE TREADED PART APPEARS TO BE SEPARATING FROM THE SIDEWALL. DEALER SAYS THAT IS NORMAL AND WILL NOT OFFER ANY PRICE REDUCTION ON NEW TIRES. COMMON SENSE TELLS ME OTHERWISE.

AIRBAG READINESS ERROR B0014 INDICATOR COMES ON WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED. IT BEEPS 3 TIMES AND THE LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED EVEN AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. PREVIOUS RECALL REPAIR ON SEATBELT TENSIONERS AND AIRBAG SYSTEM. RECORDS AVAILABLE IN CHEVY MAINTENANCE HISTORY.

DRIVERS SEAT HAS COLLAPSED IN THE RIGHT REAR. SEAT CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED WITH WEIGHT ON IT AS IT BINDS WITH CENTER CONSOLE. BLIND SPOT OVER LEFT SHOULDER CAN NOT BE PROPERLY CHECKED DUE TO THE BODY BEING TWISTED TO THE RIGHT WHILE SEATED. SEAT INTEGRITY IS SEVERELY COMPROMISED AS THE REAR RIGHT IS 'FLOATING' AND NOT ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME IN A COLLISION THE SEAT IS LIKELY TO RIP FREE OF THE FRAME SENDING THE DRIVER INTO THE WINDSHIELD. VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. DRIVING FATIGUE IS AN ISSUE DUE TO THE UNNATURAL POSITION OF THE DRIVER IN RELATION TO THE STEERING AND FOOT CONTROLS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH I LOST ALL POWER TO MY VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSING A FEW ACCIDENTS. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP. THEY HAD TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE SHOP DUE TO IT NOT STARTING. AFTER THROUGHLY LOOKING AND CHECKING EVERYTHING THE DIANOSIC TEST DID NOT REVEL ANYTHING. THE MECHANIC THEN BANGED ON THE REAR FUSE PANEL (TRUNK) THE CAR THEN STARTED. THE PANAL IS SHUTING MY FUEL PUMP OFF. THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN TESTED THE FUSE RELAYS HAVE BEEN TESTED. THE PROBLEM IS FAULTY FUSE BOX AND WIRES CONNECTED IM ASSUMING. AFTER 2 WEEKS AND 3 MECHCANICS MY CAR IS STILL NOT RUNNING.

MY CAR WON'T GO WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDDLE IN DRIVE. WHEN I STOP AT THE LIGHT OR TO BRAKE THE CAR WON'T GO WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDDLE IN DRIVE IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 2X DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I ONLY HAVE 67K MILES ON THIS CAR. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND NEED A NEW ONE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH THE CAR. THIS IS DANEGEROUS AND UNABLE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. THE DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SHOULD STILL HAVE THE WARRANTY OF DRIVER TRAIN AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME EXACT CAR HAVING THIS ISSUE OBVIOUSLY IT'S A DEFECT. I WANT TO CONTACT GM ABOUT THIS I WAS ALMOST KILLED WHEN MY CAR WON'T GO STUCK AT A INTERSECTION. ALSO THE RECALL ON MY SEATBELT : STEERING THE DEALER IS SAYING NO ACTIVE RECALLS WHICH THERE IS. I'M GETTING FRUSTRATED WITH THESE ISSUES AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I'M REACHING OUT TO EVERY ENTITY POSSIBLE BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME OR SOMEONE ELSE WITH THIS FAULTY CAR. THE AIRBAG FAULT LIKE OCCASIONALLY COMES ON FOR NO REASON AT ALL, THEN GOES OFF THEN COMES BACK ON. THESE ARE ISSUES THAT THE GM NEEDS TO RECTIFY. AFTER READING ONLINE ABOUT THE MANY SAME ISSUES THE 2012 MALIBU HAS GM NEEDS TO INTERVENE AND HELP THE OWNERS GET THESE FAULTS FIXED. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS. [XXX] PLEASE HELP INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
