WAS GETTING INTO MY PARKED VEHICLE, AND THE SEAT BROKE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THE WELD THAT HELD THE SEAT TO THE RAILING BROKE.

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 3 YEARS. CHEVY HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE DESPITE CHANGING OUT THE SENSORS AND CLEARING THE CODES. THIS EFFECTS THE REST OF THE ENGINE SETTINGS INCLUDING FUEL AS IT ADJUSTS THEM BASED ON A DEFAULT. THE RAIL SUPPORT FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS ALSO BROKEN LOOSE AND FALLEN DOWN WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS SEAT ISSUE WAS ONLY NOTICE EARLIER THIS YEAR.

WHEN DRIVING, AT LOW SPEED IN THE CITY, OR ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING (ACCORDING TO THE REPAIRING DEALER, VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN); DASH GAUGES GO ON AND OFF; TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL TURN OWN AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING; DASH LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING; BELLS AND BUZZERS RING; DOOR LOCKS CYCLE, AND THEFT DETERRENT WARNINGS ILLUMINATE.

ON 11/18/2015 MY WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING IN HEAVY DOWN POUR OF RAIN ,HAD TO TURN AROUND AND GO TO THE CLOSEST REPAIR GARAGE TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT. THEY REPLACE THE WIPER LINKAGE. SO 225.69 DOLLARS LATER I WAS ON MY WAY. THAN ON 3/10/2016 UPON DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN RAIN I HEARD A COUPLE OF BANG AND THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM AND WIPER LINKAGE WAS REPLACE PART WAS UNDER WARRANTY THIS TIME IT ONLY COST 72.00 DOLLARS FOR THE LABOR.

CAR WILL NOT START.SON WAS DRIVING AND IT JUST STALLED OUT FORTUNATELY HE WAS NOT GOING FAST. TRIED TO RESTART BUT NO LUCK. DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF MALIBU OWNERS WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. AS A DAD AND A CONSUMER I WOULD LIKE GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE . WE CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD 400$ TO FIX.LOOKS LIKE US CONSUMERS ARE GETTING SCREWED AGAIN CAN U HELP?

TAKATA RECALL.

LOW BEAMS ARE TO LOW FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING CAN THEY BE ADJUSTED? CAN'T SEE VERY FAR SO HAVE TO USE BRIGHTS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC ALSO. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, INSTRUMENT LIGHTS, GET REAL DIM EITHER DRIVING OR STOPPED, SO DIM GAUGES ARE HARD TO READ. AFTER A WHILE THEY COME BACK ON.

Rear defrost stopped working. Hasn't worked in years. I took it to GM, they had a print out of a kit that I had to purchase to repair. This stopped working back around 2016.

DRIVERS SEAT BECAME DISENGAGED AT THE WELD POINT UNDERNEATH THE SEAT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND THE DEALER REWELDED THE SEAT. PICKED THE CAR UP HAD IT FOR LESS THAN A WEEK SEAT PRETTY MUCH DISENGAGED FROM THE BOTTOM AND THE BACK WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. WHILE GM OFFERED SOME ASSISTANCE I AM STILL OUT $500. FOR BOTH REPAIRS. AFTER RESEARCHING ON LINE IT APPEARS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! MY VEHICLE WAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. I'VE OWNED NUMEROUS CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A SEAT DISENGAGE. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFENCT IN THE VEHICLES SEAT FRAME.

WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEED (70 MPH) IN A RAINSTORM IN TRAFFIC, THE WIPER INTERNAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION, RESULTING IN LOSS OF VISION OF OTHER TRAFFIC REQUIRING EMERGENCY STOP.

WHILE DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT LAST WEEK, GOING ABOUT 60 MPH, MY ENGINE CUT OFF. I HAD TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, AND STARTED IT BACK UP. DROVE ANOTHER HALF MILE OR SO, AND THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. THIS TIME, THE CAR WOULD START THEN IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF. CAR WOULD NOT STAY CRANKED FOR MORE THAN 1 SECOND OR SO. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING, CAR FIXED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE VERY NEXT , DAY, ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT. CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP, HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS NOW, STILL CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, EVERY TIME I HAVE REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CANNOT FIX MY ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER, I HAVE INVOLVED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE, AND WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM A GM CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE.

WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING, IT WAS RUMBLING AND SOUNDED VERY LOUD, WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR THE SERVICE ENGINE AND TRACTION LIGHTS WERE BOTH ON. THE MESSAGE READ TO SERVICE ESC. IT ALSO STATED THAT I HAD REDUCED ENGINE POWER. I DROVE TO WORK (3.5 MILES). THE CAR CRAWLED ALONG FINALLY BEING ABLE TO GET UP TO 40 MPH. I HAD TO STOP AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHERE 2 HIGHWAYS INTERSECT. WHILE STOPPED, MY CAR LUNGED OUT INTO THE CENTER OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. THANK GOD I DIDN'T HAVE MY 2 SONS WITH ME. ONCE I ARRIVED AT WORK, MY CAR WANTED TO AGAIN LUNGE FORWARD AS I TRIED TO PARK IT. I'VE READ ONLINE WHERE MANY CHEVROLET OWNERS WITH CARS THE SAME AGE AND SIMILAR MILES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I ONLY HAVE 45,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS VERY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL SEMI TRUCKS THAT ARE TRAVELING THE HIGHWAY I HAD TO CROSS THIS MORNING. GM IS LUCKY THIS ISN'T ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS REPORTING A DEADLY INCIDENT TO THE MEDIA. THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED BY GM BEFORE THERE ARE CASUALTIES AND LIFE LOST. I WILL BE AWAITING A PROMPT RESPONSE.

WATER INSIDE HEADLIGHTS. RIGHT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED 6 MONTHS AGO, NOW HAVE WATER INSIDE LEFT HEADLIGHT, DIMS THE LIGHT, WILL HAVE TO REPLACE, WILL BE SERVICED 12-17-15.
