POWER TRAIN
I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO GO ONTO THE HIGH WAY AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO, THERE WAS A TRUCK BEHIND BE AND HE JUST MISSED ME AND MY FAMILY. TOOK THE CAR TO RODGERS CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I REMEMBER COMPLAINING ABOUT MY CAR NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE BEFORE I THINK IT WAS TO GORDON CHEVROLET. I HAD TO DISH OUT $2,500 THAT I DID NOT HAVE, I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY TIE ROD, I THINK GM SHOULD HAVE STOOD BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACED THIS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT WITH YOU ABOUT THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD MY FRONT END WORKED ON BY GORDON CHEVROLET COUNTLESS TIMES. *TR

STEERING
I AM AN OWNER OF AN CHEVY MALIBU 2009 WITH ONLY 42,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A SIMPLE OIL CHANGE AND THE SERVICE TECH CAME OUT TO ME WITH A STORY THAT MY STEERING GEAR/RACK/PINION WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FOR A TOTAL OF 1,028.07. MY JAW NEARLY DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE THAT A CAR THAT I HAVE ONLY OWNED LESS THAN A YEAR WOULD NEED SOMETHING SO COSTLY. I DID NOT BUY SERVICE PLAN CAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD THE EXTRA AMOUNT OF MONEY TO GIVE TO CHEVY. IT AMAZES ME THAT AFTER ALL THIS AND READING FROM OTHERS HERE THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE STEERING ISSUES THAT CHEVY HAS. IT AMAZES ME EVEN MORE THAT THEY DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE THAT IS THERE FAULT TO REPAIR AND IN RETURN EXPECTS THE OWNERS TO PAY FOR THEIR SCREW UP. IF THEY DO NOT RECALL OR FIX THE STEERING ISSUES WITH CHEVY MALIBU MODELS THEY WILL BE SUED OR FURTHER MORE LOOSE THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES IN THE PAST AND NEVER HAD TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF THIS EXPENSE TO REPAIR A VEHICLE SPECIALLY STEERING PROBLEMS. IF CHEVY REALLY DOES A FULL INSPECTION ON VEHICLE BEFORE SELLING USED CARS I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT. I WILL BE TAKING FURTHER ACTION ON THIS CASE. THIS IS CHEVY'S BURDEN NOT MINE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS COMING UP TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND STOP SIGN TO TAKE A LEFT. THE CAR JUST QUIT. I KEPT TRYING TO START IT AND NOTHING HAPPENED, NO CLICK, NOTHING BUT ABOUT 5 MIN. LATER IT STARTED AGAIN. I WAS ABOUT A MILE FROM HOME SO I TOOK IT BACK HOME AND LATER, AFTER DROPPING MY DAUGHTER OFF, THAT DAY TOOK IT TO GEORGE GEE, WHERE I HAD BOUGHT IT AND HAD MY OIL CHANGES AND ANY ISSUES DONE, IT DIDN'T DO IT SO THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.. I HAVE HAD THE CAR DO THIS 4 TIMES SINCE IVE OWNED IT AND BCUZ IT ISN'T ALL THE TIME THE DEALER SERVICE CTR SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WHEN I HAD ISSUES WITH THE LOCKS THEY SAID THE SAME THING.. THE LOCKS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL THE TIME WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THEY FINALLY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE SOMETHING IN THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT 5/6 MONTHS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN BUT BY THEN MY WARRANTY WAS UP AND THEY WERE EXPENSIVE SO I TOOK IT TO A 'SMALL GUY GARAGE' THEY HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 ACCUATORS IN THE DOORS. THERE ALSO WAS A PROBLEM IN THE TRANNY WHICH WAS UNDER THEIR 5 YR. TRAN. WARRANTY. IT HAS NOT RUN PROPERLY SINCE BUT THEY 'CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG!' OH YES AND I WAS ALSO TOLD BY ONE OF THEIR OTHER DEALERS IN POST FALLS THAT THEY WOULDN'T HELP ME BCUZ 'I DIDN'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP" WITH THEM. I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE NEVER FIXED ANY OF THE ISSUES CORRECTLY AND ALSO THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN OF THESE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND STILL WOULD NOT MAKE IT RIGHT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR LOCKS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK. AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON, DOOR LOCKS CONTINUED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. THEN, THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH ON DRIVER'S DOOR STOPPED WORKING. LAST TIME THIS ISSUE STARTED AND CONTINUED WITH KEY FOB NO LONGER WORKING, AND ONLY WAY TO LOCK DOORS WAS MANUALLY AND UNLOCK DRIVER'S DOOR WITH KEY AND MANUALLY UNLOCK REMAINING DOORS. DEALER REPLACED DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR AND KEY FOBS TO FIX PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ALREADY HAVING BEEN FIXED ONCE? IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS? I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR SAME REPAIR REPEATEDLY. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ON THE MORNING OF JULY 17, 2014 I EXPERIENCE MY POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION ILLUMINATE AS WELL AS SERVICE TRACTION NOTIFICATION AS I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. LUCKILY ENOUGH I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE MY VEHICLE WAS ALMOST HIT BY A 18 WHEELER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AS I WAS DRIVING MY POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION CAME ON AND ALMOST CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, THE FIRST TIME HAPPEN IN MAY OF THIS YEAR BOTH TIMES MY SON WAS IN THE CAR. IN FEBRUARY OF 2013 I WAS MAKING MY WAY ACROSS A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE CAR CUT COMPLETELY OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE "SERVICE TRACTION" AND "SERVICE ESC" ILLUMINATED THEN AS WELL. THE CAR ACCELERATION IS SLOW WHEN THE AIR CONDITION IS ON. I AM AT A POINT I NO LONGER WANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I FEAR THE NEXT TIME MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR A FATALITY. I HONESTLY CARE NOT TO OPT FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ONE TIME AND NOW IT MUST GO AGAIN, THE THIRD TIME MAY BE THE LAST AND BEFORE I GET TO THAT POINT I WOULD LIKE TO GET OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. FOR THE SAFETY OF NOT ONLY ME BUT MY SON WHO IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD. I CALLED GM AND INQUIRED IF THEY CAN OFFER SOME SORT OF A REBATE THAT I MAY USE TOWARDS ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT I WAS TOLD NO AND ONLY OFFERED AN APOLOGY AND INFORMED THAT GM IS CURRENTLY NOT OFFERING A REBATE, YET I STILL HAVE TO WAIT TO BE INFORMED AS TO WHEN I CAN TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THEY ARE OUT OF PARTS, IF THAT DOES NOT RING A BELL I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL. I FEAR THIS CAR WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME. I AM REACHING OUT FOR HELP. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAD PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND WAS WAITING FOR CUSTOMER TO CLOSE THEIR CAR DOOR WHEN MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS OUT IF GEAR. IT GRABBED AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL IN. WHEN I WAS READY TO LEAVE THE STORE I HAD GOTTEN ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND AROUND 25MPH THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR, I WAS ALSO HAVING TROUBLE GOING INTO REVERSE. I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR HOME AND I WAS UNSURE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY WHERE THEY RAN A TEST ON IT. I WAS TOLD THE WAVE PLATE WAS BROKE IN MY TRANSMISSION. WOW AN 2009 WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD THE WAVE PLATE THAT WAS USED FOR THE MALIBU'S WERE BAD. THEY REALLY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THE MALIBU'S THAT ARE HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS DUE TO POOR DESIGN USING THAT STYLE OF WAVE PLATE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE PEDAL THE LIGHTS GO OUT. WHILE ON THE SPEED CONTROL WILL NOT WORK. SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES WITH THE BCM. GM ANNOUNCED A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE ON MAY 15, 2014 BUT THE NHTSA WEBSITE LETTER ON THAT DATE LETTER NVS-215KS / 14V-252 STATED THAT GM MUST NOTIFY THE OWNERS WITHIN 60 DAYS. IT HAS BEEN 60 DAYS AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A NOTIFICATION. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP UNDER WARRANTY APPROX. 5 TIMES AND I HAVE HAD TO ALSO REPAIR THE SAME ISSUE. NOW THE CAR IS NOT DRIVE ABLE BECAUSE IF I PLACE IT IN PARK IT WILL NOT GO IN REVERSE. THIS IS ALSO DUE TO THE SAME BCM PROBLEM. IF THEY (GM) HAS 60 DAYS, WHY HAVE THEY NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE? I TOOK IT TO THE GM DEALER AND GAVE THEM THE RECALL NUMBER FOUND ON THE INTERNET AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT IT. HOW CAN I GET THIS INFORMATION BUT THEIR OWN DEALERS CAN'T. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WOKE ONE MORNING AND NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO NOTICED THAT GAS IN THE TANK WAS AT A MUCH LOWER LEVEL THAN WHEN THE CAR WAS LAST OPERATED. I BELIEVED THAT GAS WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRUNK SO I TOOK THE CAR TO LOCAL SERVICE CENTER AT NISSAN BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. NISSAN SAID THAT FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED AND EMITTING GASOLINE VAPORS. TOOK VEHICLE TO THREE WAY CHEVROLET BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVED THAT THEY MAY HAVE MORE INFORMATION POSSIBLY CONCERNING A RECALL. ALEXANDER IRIZARRY (A SERVICE ADVISER) SAID THAT FUEL PUMPS FAIL ALL THE TIME AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY IT CRACKED. HE ALSO CLAIMED THAT WHEN PARTS FAIL IT IS NORMAL TO PUT THE DRIVER IN DANGER SUCH AS IF BRAKES GO OUT OR A TIRE BLOWS FROM POOR MAINTENANCE. ASKED FOR $1200 TO REPLACE THE PART. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF HE REPLACES IT WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART THAT LATER ON THE PUMP WILL FAIL AND EMIT GAS VAPORS LEADING TO A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION. THREE WAY RELEASED THE CAR TO ME WITH NO WARNING OF NOT TO DRIVE IT. VEHICLE OPERATES FINE WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. *TR
