2012 Chevrolet Malibu Complaint Log

2012 CHEVY MALIBU, WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TODAY, DURING A RAINSTORM, WHEN THE WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON MI 696. I WAS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT SEE AT ALL DO TO THE FAILED WIPER TRANSMISSION BUSHING. THIS NOT ONLY PUT MYSELF IN DANGER BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL. I COULD NOT SEE AT ALL AND CAUSED MANY OTHER DRIVERS TO SWERVE OUT OF THEIR LANES AT 70 MPH. PLASTIC BUSHINGS ARE USED ON THE WIPER TRANSMISSION (LINKAGE) WHICH HAS BEEN A COMMONLY REPORTED EVENT. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH IS CAUSING THE WIPERS TO FAIL, MAKING VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER IMPOSSIBLE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. GM ONLY OFFERS A REPLACEMENT WIPER TRANSMISSION WITH THE SAME PLASTIC BUSHINGS THAT KEEP FAILING. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT WOULD HAVE A MINIMAL COST IF THEY USED METAL BUSHINGS. THIS PLASTIC BUSHING MAY EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE FROM FAILED WIPER USAGE.

WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I PUSHED ON THE GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO. I WAS ON THE FREE WAY AND ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. ALSO CAR WOULD NO LONGER START AFTER STOPPED. WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO START AND DOES NOT. I'VE HAD SEVERAL TOES WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

ANTITHEFT SYSTEM IS CAUSING MY CAR NOT TO START. I HAVE CONTACT GM THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP. I RESEARCH ONLINE LINE WHERE CHEVROLET KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT WANT CUSTOMER TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES. I WAS STRANDED FOR 4 HOURS IN THE HOUSTON HEAT WITH MY KIDS. THE CAR WILL STOP IN TRAFFIC AS WELL

MY CAR WOULDN'T CRANK THEN IT WOULD CRANK. TILL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT JUST DIED ON ME GOING AROUND A CURVE LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKES THANK GOD I DIDN'T WRECK SO I GOT IN LINE AND RESEARCHED AND COME TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH FUEL PUMP RELAY CONNECTION TO FUEL PUMP RELAY BOX. THE WIRES AWARE TOO LITTLE VOLTAGE FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND BURNT WIRES TO FUEL PUMP RELAY BOX. I SEE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON SAME CAR AS LINE. SO I'M FILING A COMPLAINT CUASE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY MALIBU. THUS IS MY EVERYDAY VEHICLE AND WHEN I HAVE HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. WE HAVE HAD THE BUMPER OFF THIS CAR MULTIPLE TIMES WHICH IS A REAL PAIN. WE HAVE CHANGED HEADLIGHTS, WIRING HARNESS AND EVEN UNDOING THE BATTERY. THE PASSENGER LIGHT COMES ON FOR A BIT THEM WILL GO OFF AND NOT COME BACK ON. I HAVE A LOAN ON THIS CAR AND CAN'T EVEN GET RID OF IT CAUSE I CAN'T KEEP THE LIGHTS ON. WORSE CHEVY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR IT BEING OUT AND HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN IT. READING THE REVIEWS OF THIS CAR ONLINE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS.

2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 14V-252. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL, THE FAILURE RECURRED. * JS

TAKATA RECALL WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AS IF I'M THE POLICE. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER THE CAR ONLY HAS 160,000+ AND IT JUST STARTED EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE OR DRIVE IT DOES THIS AND I'M AFRAID THAT I WILL EITHER GET PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE, HIT SOMEONE OR SOMEONE HITS ME OR/AND THE LIGHTS GO COMPLETELY OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IS THIS DUE BECAUSE WHENEVER YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE BUILD, THE WHOLE BUMPER HAS TO COME OFF TO REPLACE IT? I LIKE MY CAR BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY MALIBU AND SINCE NOVEMBER WE HAVE HAD HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS AND CHANGES BULBS AND GOT A NEW WIRE HARNESS AND WE STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT GOING OUT. IT IS A REAL PAIN CAUSE IT TAKES A BIT TO EVEN GET TO THE HEADLIGHT. HAVE TO TAKE THE BUMBER OFF AND REAL FRUSTRATING.

MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY NOT START. I HAVE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW BATTERY. THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. A WEEK LATER, MY GEAR SHIFT WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAD TO STAY IN MY VEHICLE AND MISS AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE OF THIS. I COULDN'T GET IT TO MOVE FROM DRIVE TO PARK. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND 30 MINUTES, IT FINALLY MOVED. IT'S GOTTEN STUCK A FEW TIMES TRYING TO MOVE IT FROM PARK TO DRIVE AS WELL. AND WHEN I'M DRIVING, THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE AND WIPERS WON'T WORK. I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT WAS POURING RAIN AND THE WIPERS WOULDN'T TURN ON WITH ALL EMERGENCY LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AS WELL. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME I'M ON A CITY STREET GOING FROM 25 TO 45 MPH. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED SEVERAL TIMES TO DIFFERENT SHOPS AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG.

AIR BAGS LIGHT KEEP COMING ON HAD A RECALL TO HAVE IT REPLACE BEFORE BUT LIGHT CAME BACK ON

IVE HAD TO DROP THE CAR OF 8 TIMES NOW TO TRY AND REPAIR THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT WHICH KEEPS GOING OUT. PIGTAILS CONNECTORS AND BULB ALL REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW.

LEFT LOW BEAM KEEPS GOING OUT AND BULB NOT BURNT OUT. REPLACED 3X IN THE PASSED YEAR

RIGHT LOW BEAM KEEPS BURNING OUT TWICE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND REPAIRED BY A CHEV DEALER TWICE WENT OUT SETTING IN GARAGE AND REPLACED BY A CERTIFIED AUTO SHOP

MY CAR WON'T TURN OVER AFTER I TURN IT OFF SOMETIMES. SOMETIMES IT WILL BE MOST OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T. THE BATTERY IS NEW, SPARK PLUGS ARE NEW, SENSORS ARE NEW. STARTER ISN'T THE PROBLEM. DON'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE? IT WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS, WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY FOR MY CAR IN 2019 AND I TOOK IT TO DAVIDSON CHEVROLET IN WATERTOWN NY. THEY FIXED THE RECALL AND MENTIONED IT COULD AFFECT THE SEAT ASSEMBLY. SHORTLY AFTER I GOT A POSTCARD REGARDING THE SEAT. A FEW DAYS LATER MY SEAT NO LONGER MOVES BACK OR FORTH. I TRIED CALLING AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FUSE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER IT. I KEPT CALLING EVERY FEW WEEKS AND THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER OR CALL ME BACK. I FINALLY GOT AHOLD OF SOMEONE AND WENT INTO THE SHOP THURSDAY JULY 30, 2020 TO GET THE FUSE IN. THEY LATER CAME OUT AND SAID IT WAS BECAUSE MY LEVER BROKE, HOWEVER MY LEVER WAS NOT BROKE WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN. IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS A CLEAN CUT. THEN THEY TURNED AROUND AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY AND PROCEEDED TO TELL ME TO GO TO THE JUNKYARD TO REPLACE MY SEAT AND THEN I CAN PAY THEM TO INSTALL IT. I FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY FROM THE RECALL. I ALSO FEEL LIKE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE JUNKYARD WHEN THEY SHOULD BE FIXING IT.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES IT STARTED WITH LAGGING TO START I WOULD TURN THE KEY AND LITERALLY LET GO AND THEN IT WOULD START. NOW IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WANT TO START . WHEN IT DOES MY SENSORS ARE ALL MESSED UP . FIRST TIME MY AIRBAG WARNING WAS COMING UP . NEXT MY SENSORS ON MY TIRES WERE NOT WORKING THEN I STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND I WOULD STOP PUSHING THE GAS THE GAUGE WILL GO UP AND DOWN. THE LAST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON BUT TURNED OFF. I TRIED TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS DONE BUT OF COURSE NOTHING CAME OF IT . SO NOW MY CAR IS JUST SITTING IN MY GARAGE UNTIL I FIGURE IT OUT. BUT THERE ARE NO TYPE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING THAT COMES ON BEFORE THE CAR STARTS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY

HEADLAMP HARNESS KEEPS BURNING CAUSING HEADLAMP TO FAIL TO ILLUMINATE. HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE BULBS AS WELL AS BOTH HARNESSES WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS AND AGAIN, HARNESS HAS BURNT AND MY LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS DO NOT WORK. READING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT FEATURE. I'VE NOTICED THE ISSUE BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND WHEN IT'S STATIONARY. WHILE THERE HASN'T BEEN A FIRE AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE YET, I'M SURE IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY MALIBU LT AND AT RANDOM TIMES THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN, WHILE DRIVING, WHILE BEING STATIONARY, AND SOMETIMES IT DON'T EVEN START WHEN IT'S BEEN OFF I TOOK IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY COULDN'T DETECT ANY CODES OR SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM THEY CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP, THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, THE FUSE, THE ECM STARTER IGNITION COIL, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND THE CAR STILL DOESN'T START RANDOMLY I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR TO THE ON POSITION THEN OFF MORE THAN 30 TIMES AND WAIT UNTIL I HEAR THE FUEL PUMP ACTIVATE THEN I KNOW IT WILL START I HAVE HAD THE CAR CUT OFF ON ME ON THE FREEWAY, IN THE MIDDLE OF MALIK A TURN ON BUSY STREETS I'VE BEEN OUT AT FAMILY EVENTS AND WHEN I TRIED TO GO HOME THE CAR WOULDN'T START I NEED HELP

DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM KEEPS SHORTING OUT EVEN AFTER REPLACING BULBS AND HARNESS. WINDSHIELD WIPERS BUSHING BROKE IN MIDDLE OF RAINSTORM ON 6/7/19 IN SUFFOLK VA ON INTERSTATE 664 SOUTH BOUND

MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO SHOW A POWER STEERING WARNING.THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS NUMBER 15356, 08/28/2015, CAMPAIGN - ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE WARRANTY INFO. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. I FEEL IT IS GOING TO LOSE POWER STEERING ASSIST AT ANY TIME. THIS COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE MALIBUS COVERED BY THE RECALL. THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THIS PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD TO 2012 MALIBUS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED AT THIS TIME.

MY DRIVER SIDE LIGHT CONTINUES TO KEEP GOING OUT AFTER A COUPLE WEEKS AND THE BULB IS NOT BLOWING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY MALIBU DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE HEADLIGHTS CAN CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT. IF YOU HIT A BUMP IT GOES OUT. I WAS ON A BACK ROAD AT NIGHT AND BOTH LIGHTS WENT OUT ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION FAILURE AND STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR HAD A DIFFICULT TIME SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE OUT OF A PARKED POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERGSTROM CHEVROLET OF MADISON (1345 APPLEGATE RD, MADISON, WI 53713, (608) 271-2212) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND AN ELECTRIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. IN ADDITION, A REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR ALTERNATOR CIRCUIT NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER SINCE JULY 16, 2019 AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST $2,700. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A MANAGER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT YET SPOKEN WITH THE MANAGER. THE CONTACT WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND WAS CONCERNED THAT THE REPAIRS WERE NOT DONE PROPERLY. THE DEALER COULD NOT PROVIDE A SERVICE REPAIR HISTORY FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR AND WHEN DRIVING A MESSAGE COMES UP SAYING "SERVICE AIR BAG". THE CLOCK TURNS TO MILITARY TIME WITHOUT US CHANGING IT. SEAT BELTS SIGN COMES WHEN SEAT BELTS ARE BEING USED. POOR PERFORMANCE.

I WAS IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AND WAS BIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE IMPACT PUSHED IN THE DOORS AND THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 30 MPH AND THE CAR RAN A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET.

CAR WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START UP. STARTER WOULD ENGAGE WITH KEY TURNED, BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT FIRE OFF AND RUN. NO CODES FROM DIAGNOSTICS. NEVER HEARD FUEL PUMP ENERGIZE WITH PROBLEM PRESENT. CAR WOULD EVENTUALLY SUCCESSFULLY START. BENCH TESTED FUEL PUMP RELAY WITH NO ISSUES. DISASSEMBLED FUSE BOX IN TRUNK AND FOUND THE BROWN WIRE CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP TO ITS RELAY WAS SIGNIFICANTLY HEAT STRESSED. THE BLACK PLASTIC WIRE HARNESS THAT HOUSES THE BROWN FUEL PUMP WIRE WAS ALSO STRESSED AND DEFORMED, AND WAS NO LONGER RETAINING THE CRIMPED CONNECTOR FOR THE BROWN WIRE. I HAD TO CLEAN UP THE METAL CRIMP CONNECTOR AND PINCH DOWN ON THE END SO THAT IT WOULD "GRAB" THE RELAY TERMINAL ONCE REASSEMBLED. CAR HAS YET TO REPEAT THE STARTING PROBLEM A YEAR LATER.

REPLACED LOW BEAM LIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES, HAD THE WIRING HARNESS REPLACED DUE TO A SHORTAGE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY LEADING TO THE LOW BEAMS LIGHT BLOWING OUT CONSTANTLY. LOW BEAM LIGHTS STILL KEEP GOING OUT. ONGOING ISSUE

MY FUSE BOX IN MY TRUNK CAME BACK FAIL BAD ONE SO CHANGED IT OUT WITH ANOTHER ONE WELL THAT WORKED FOR 1 MONTH MY CAR STALLS OR DON'T START UNLESS I HIT THE FUSE BOX GOT ANOTHER FUSE BOX THAT DID THE SAME EXACT THINGS NOW SOME TIMES WHEN I HIT THE FUSE BOX MY CAR WILL START THEN AGAIN WON'T SOMETHINGS MAKING THE FUSE BOX TO GO BAD I BELIEVE IT'S SOMETHING TO DO THE WIRING OR FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE. I'VE HAD MY CAR STALL ON THE HIGH WAY TO MANY TIMES THIS NEED TO BE RECALLED ITS A HAZARD PROBLEM NOT SAFE. *TR

FOR MONTHS I BEEN DEALING WITH MY LOW BEAMS AND HIGH BEAMS NOT WORKING ON MY PASSENGER SIDE THEN ONE DAY THE HIGH BEAM WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES I HAVE GOTTEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE, I HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS, I HAVE TOOK IT TO MIDAS TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. I'M TAKING IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC TOMORROW. I SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE

IN 2016 THE WIPER MOTOR WENT UP AND I HAD IT REPLACED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN IN 2019 THE WIPER MOTOR WENT UP AGAIN. I CAN LOAD UP THE DOCUMENTS IF NEEDED.

I HAVE CHANGED MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT BULB SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK EVERY TIME I HAVE TO FIX IT I AM CHARGED $100.00 OR MORE. ALSO I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE MOTOR TO MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW TWICE. THIS ALSO ALSO HAPPENED TO MY 2000 CHEVY MALIBU. IT SEAMS LIKE THIS MODEL HAS MANY ISSUES.

GOT THE CAR FEW MONTHS AGO , CAR ONE DAY WOULDN'T START COULDN'T FIGURE OUT FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT, THE FUSE BOX IN MY TRUCK I CAN HIT IT AND THEN MY CAR STARTED JUST FINE IT HAPPENS ALOT TO WHERE I GOTTA HIT THE FUSE BOX IN MY TRUCK TO GET MY CAR STARTED THOUGHT IT WAS THE CRANK SENSOR BUT NOPE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUCK & ALSO HEARD IT'S THE FUEL PUMP RELAY.

MY CAR DIES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ELECTRICAL PROBLEM TO THE FUEL PUMP

WILL BE DRIVING AND AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKE THE SERVICE ESC WILL COME ON AND THEN MY CAR DOES NOT WANT TO STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEAN ARBOUR FORD LINCOLN (1001 US-23, ALPENA, MI 49707, (989) 356-6366) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED TWICE, BUT THE DETAILS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS FAULTY AND WOULD NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT DATA. PAT O'BRIEN CHEVROLET (3880 PEARL RD, MEDINA, OH 44256, (330) 460-0718) DIAGNOSED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,100.

WITHOUT WARNING THE CLUSTER OF GAUGES START GOING CRAZY AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING AND VEHICLE SPEED WILL NOT EXCEED 20MPH. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT.

PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTINUALLY BURNS OUT. HAVE CHANGED BULB MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LAST TIME THE BULB LITERALLY BLEW UP. THE NEW BULB WOULD LAST AN HOUR OR A DAY OR TWO.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT IS BROKEN. WAS RIDING DOWN THE STREET AND IT JUST POPPED. NOW IT ROCKS AND BOUNCE EVERYTIME YOU HIT A BUMP OR HUMP IN THE ROAD

WE HAVE HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE WIRING HARNESS REPLACED THREE TIMES. AND THE OTHER ONE ONCE. MY SON HAS THE EXACT MAKE AND MODEL AND HAS SAME ISSUES. REPLACED TWICE. LOCAL REPAIR SHOP SAYS THIS IS A KNOW. ISSUE

HIGH AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CAR 3 TIMES WITHIN 3 MONTHS. I SEARCHED FOR A PROBLEM WITH THAT CAR AND ANY COMPLAINTS. I FOUND NO RECALL BUT GM BUT 274 COMPLAINTS ABOUT HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST GO OFF DURING DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS. WHAT CAN BE DONE. IT VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE BULBS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DROP THE BUMPER BUT THE BULB IS NOT THE PROBLEM. HOW CAN WE GET GENERAL MOTORS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR 274 PEOPLE? I CAN TELL YOU THE VERY LAST TIME THIS HAPPEN.

CAR WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT CRANK. GO BACK A LITTLE LATER AND IT CRANK FINE. AFTER THIS HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES HAD SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THERE WAS NO CODES AND THE CAR WOULD CRANK FINE SO COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THEN WHEN I WAS OUT SOMEWHERE IT WOULD CRANK AND RUN SLUGGISH AND GO DEAD AND AFTER A WHILE IT WOULD CRANK AND RUN. GOT TO RESEARCHING IT AND PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. SAID THAT YOU COULD WIGGLE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND IT WOULD CRANK. SURE ENOUGH TRIED THIS AND IT WORKED. I'M PRETTY SURE THIS IS SAME PROBLEM. AND ALSO IF YOU HAD BEEN RUNNING THE CAR AND IT WOULDNT CRANK THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WILL BE HOT WHICH SUGGEST THE WIRING AND OR FUSE BOX IS PROBLEM. PEOPLE TALK ABOUT REPLACING FUEL PUMP , FUSE BOX , AND CHEAP LOW GAUGE WIRING FROM FUEL PUMP TO FUSE BOX. NOW I'M TAKING TO MECHANIC TO TRY TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE IT CATCHES FIRE AND SOMEONE GETS HURT . TRY TO GET FIXED AND BUY A HONDA OR ANYTHING EXCEPT GM.

PASSENGER HEAD LIGHT HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES IT KEEPS TURNING OFF. LIGHT BULB IS NOT BURNED. WHEN TAPING ON OR MOVING WIRES LIGHT GOES ON REPLACED WIRES AND STILL HAVING SAME ISSUE. VEHICLE CAN NOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT TIME. ALL THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 20-60 MINUTES LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTING NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED ON TWO SEPARATE OIL CHANGE INTERVALS, METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE OIL FILTER AND OIL PAN. CREWS CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 8199 RIVERS AVE, NORTH CHARLESTON, SC 29406, (843) 820-7800) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

MY CHEVY MALIBU WOULD TURN OVER SLIGHTLY, BUT THEN WOULD DIE. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 3-4 TIMES AND THEN I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED; THINKING IT WAS THAT. THE CAR CONTINUED TO FAIL, SO I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AFTER CHECKING WITH A FUEL GAUGE AND THERE BEING NO FUEL PRESSURE. THE CAR RAN ABOUT 3 TIMES DRIVING IT FOR SHORTER AND A BIT LONGER DISTANCES, BUT THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. THE STARTER WOULD TRY, BUT THERE WAS NO IGNITION OF THE CAR. AT MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, DON MCCUE, THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR FUSE BOX AND A FEW TERMINALS WERE BURNT OUT. THEY REPLACED THE REAR FUSE BOX AND A FEW TERMINALS, AND THE CAR NOW RUNS SUCCESSFULLY.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON (LOW BEAM) HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE. BULBS ARE NEW AND FUSES ARE WORKING JUST FINE..SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT IN A RECALL BECAUSE I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE..THIS IS RIDICULOUS! CAN'T DRIVE WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS AND CAN'T DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON

I OWN TWO 2012 CHEVY MALIBUS--THE HEADLIGHTS ON EACH HAVE WENT OUT NO LESS THAN 4 TIMES EACH. THIS HAS TO BE A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE ISSUE. EVEN WITH THE PIGTALS BEING REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO OUT.
