2014 Chevrolet Malibu Complaint Log

I'M DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WITH A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SUDDENLY THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE DASH BOARD STOP WORKING (SPEEDOMETER/GAS) AND RADIO GOES BLACK. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND USUALLY ONLY WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I'M NOT SURE IF I LOSE MY HEADLIGHTS AS WELL BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD IT HAPPEN AT NIGHT YET.

TRANSMISSION WONT ENGAGED AFTER STOP,RPM GO LOW WON T GO UP

WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF, MY 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU HAS HAD THE ABS AND STABILTRAK SERVICES LIGHTS COME ON TWICE. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 31,500 MILES. MID-FEBRUARY, I WAS DRIVING 25 MPH DOWN A SIDE STREET TO WORK, AND THE LIGHTS JUST POPPED ON., I TOOK MY CAR INTO A CHEVROLET DEALER TO HAVE THE LIGHTS LOOKED AT, AND WAS TOLD THE ABS SENSOR READS A STRIP ON THE WHEEL BEARING HUB AND THAT STRIP WAS CHIPPED OFF. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HUB WHICH IS COSTLY. IT IS NOW THE BEGINNING OF APRIL, AND THE LIGHT JUST CAME BACK ON. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN STREET IN MY CITY GOING AROUND 45MPH WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE GM NEEDS TO BE LOOKING INTO FOR A RECALL.

ON MARCH 30TH, MY ABS LIGHTS CAME ON MY VEHICLE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. MY CAR WAS SERVICED FOR THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND ABS BRAKE SYSTEM $1085. AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE, I RECEIVED A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT FROM ONSTAR STATING THAT MY VEHICLE STILL HAD BRAKE AND ABS PROBLEMS. I PICKED UP THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH MY BRAKES WENT OUT COMPLETELY OUT AND I CRASHED INTO A VAN.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH AP2646 CODE. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR, AND THE CODE REMAINING I ATTEMPTED TO FIND PART 12633613. UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PART I BROUGHT IT IN TO A GARAGE. THEY REPLACED THE SAME PART I HAD ALREADY REPLACED, AND STILL THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED. THEY WERE ALSO UNABLE TO LOCATE THE REFERENCED PART ONLINE OR THROUGH A DEALERSHIP (MANGINO CHEVROLET). I CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND GM, THE PARTY IS DISCONTINUED AND BACK ORDERED AT PARTS STORES AND DEALERSHIPS. WITHOUT THIS PART, THE CAR CAN NOT BE INSPECTED AND BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE, AND S LEGAL ISSUE OF CONTINUED TO OPERATE ON THE ROAD (IN NY AND ELSEWHERE I IMAGINE). THE PART IS FAULTY ON MANY CARS IF THE BACK ORDER IS AN ACCURATE INDICATION. ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT PREVENT SAFE OPERATION OF THE CAR, THE CAR CAN NOT BE INSPECTED OVERALL FOR SAFETY UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT IS FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CONTACT HAD TO GET THE POLICE TO HELP PUSH THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO TIM LALLY CHEVROLET (24999 MILES RD, WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS, OH 44128, (440) 359-8781) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY SAVER MODULE NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,300.

WHILE TRAVELING FROM WORK (BOULDER) TO HOME (WESTMINSTER) I HIT A PATCH OF SLUSH WHICH PULLED MY CAR TO THE RIGHT. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THE CARS PULL, THE BACK END OF THE CAR SLID OUT FROM BEHIND ME CAUSING THE CAR TO GO SIDEWAYS FOR A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE CAR GOT TRACTION AND WENT FRONT END FIRST INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN/BARRIER. I THEN GOT OUT OF ANY ONCOMING TRAFFICS WAY, PULLED OVER, AND CALLED 911. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. THE SEAT BELT NEVER LOCKED UP TO PROTECT ME AND THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. I HIT THE WALL HEAD ON ONCE MY CAR CAUGHT GRIP.

AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND STALLING AND THEN JUST SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT ACTS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ANY GAS. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, OXYGEN SENSOR, AND A HOST OF OTHER PARTS AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE TAKING IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE I BROUGHT IT FROM, THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINE SAID IT WAS A PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED I HAD THE PART REPLACED AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE A 3 YEAR THAT IS ALWAYS WITH ME IN THE CAR AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MARCH.

VERY JERKY ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED OR TRYING TO SPEED UP, VEHICLE STUTTERS AT ACCELERATION

THE VEHICLE HAS A AUTO/STOP FEATURE WHICH IS EXTREMELY FAULTY. THE FEATURE IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRONICS RUNNING WHILE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER CERTAIN CRITERIA BEFORE STOPPING IS MET. HOWEVER, THE AUTO/STOP FEATURE ON MY CAR WHEN ACTIVATED CAUSES THE SYSTEM TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND ALL ELECTRONICS GO BLACK UPON STARTING BACK UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALSO COME ON BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING, THERE IS NO WAY I CAN DISABLE THE FEATURE AND THERE IS NO WAY TO REALLY FIX THE ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THAT SOMETHING ELECTRICAL COULD HAPPEN AND THE CAR COULD BE RUINED AS A RESULT.

THE CAR SET ON FIRE AFTER THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. WITHIN MINUTES THE WHOLE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORTED THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL. GM REPORTEDLY INVESTIGATED THE CHARRED REMAINS WEEKS AFTER THE FIRE AND DECLINED TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ON THE INVESTIGATION OR COMPENSATION FOR THE VEHICLE.

MY WINDSHIELD AND BACK WINDOW WAS FOGGING ON THE INSIDE DURING THE FALL AND FROSTING ON THE INSIDE DURING THE WINTER. MY CARPETS FELT LIKE A SPONGE. IT TURNED OUT THERE WERE 6" OF STANDING WATER UNDER MY FLOORBOARDS ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR (FRONT AND BACK). THE MECHANIC TRACED THIS BACK TO AN OPENING BETWEEN TWO PANELS, JUST BELOW THE WINDSHIELD, THAT WERE NEVER SEALED. HE SAID I WAS LUCKY. IF THE WATER GOT ANY HIGHER, IT COULD HAVE INTERFERED WITH THE ELECTRICAL AND AIRBAG SYSTEM. I ALSO LUCKED OUT IN THAT THERE WAS NO MOLD GROWTH. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW ONLY FIVE YEARS PRIOR AND HAD NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. REPAIR REQUIRED THE REMOVAL OF MY WINDSHIELD, A SIDE PANEL ON THE CAR, MY DRIVER SEAT, AND THE TEARING UP OF MY CARPETS.

TAMARA RECALL CHECK ENGINE TURN ON AND WHEN ECO TURNS ON MY RADIO TURNS OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AUTONATION (7769 GRAPEVINE HIGHWAY, FORT WORTH, TX 76180, (817) 485-0400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

ON 1/2/2019 I WAS DRIVING IN MY CAR AND TWO WARNING MESSAGES SUDDENLY POPPED UP ON MY CONSOLE WARNING ABOUT THE STABILITY CONTROL AND ABS SYSTEMS. THERE IS A SENSOR THAT READS A "SPEED RING" ON THE REAR OF THE WHEEL HUBS. IT SEEMS CHEVY CARS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS RING CRACK AND SECTIONS BREAK OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE SENSOR CAN NO LONGER READ IT AND YOUR STABILITY CONTROL AND ABS SYSTEMS WILL IMMEDIATELY STOP WORKING. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HUB. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BUT A CONSIDERABLE DESIGN FLAW. YOU SHOULD ONLY EVER HAVE TO REPLACE A HUB IF THE BEARING WEAR OUT BECAUSE IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THE OTHER REAR HUB ON MY CAR IS SHOWING CRACKS IN THIS RING AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. CHEVY IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I TRIED TO CONTACT CHEVY ABOUT THIS ON JAN 5 AND GOT A CALL FROM THEM JAN 14 FROM A VERY RUDE AND CONDESCENDING PERSON WHO WAS MORE CONCERNED THAT I DIDNT PAY CHEVY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. CHEVY NEEDS TO COVER THE COST OF THESE REPAIRS FOR ME AND EVERYONE AFFECTED AND NEEDS TO DO A RECALL.

AS MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED ON THESE MALIBU'S, ISSUES WITH THE WHEEL BEARINGS GOING OUT IN THEM AT RELATIVELY LOW MILES. I THINK THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

STABILITRACK, ABS, AND BRAKING ASSIST DEACTIVATION AND OR REDUCTION IN FUNCTION CAUSED BY PREMATURE FAILURE OF WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. RESULTS IN LESS CONTROL OR LOSS OF CONTROL IN ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS OR UNDER HARD BRAKE APPLICATION OR EMERGENCY MANEUVERS. CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLITEN TO DIRECT THEIR DEALERS IN FIXING THIS BUT ONLY UNDER WARANTEE, SHOWING THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM YET TOOK NO ACTION TO ASSIST CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE IS REGULARLY REQUIRING A JUMP START DUE TO A LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE. WHILE OPERATING MY CAR WHENEVER I COME TO A STOP THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE ACTIVATES AND MY ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. AS I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE RESTARTS ALL POWER TO MY VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY LOST TEMPORARILY, INCLUDING THE POWER TO MY STEERING WHEEL WHICH INSTANTLY LOCKS UP. IT'S BEEN VERY SCARY AND CONCERNING TO SAY THE VERY LEAST. I'VE ALSO LOST POWER TO OTHER SYSTEMS ON MY CAR LIKE THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM BEING UNRESPONSIVE ENTIRELY, NOT BEING ABLE TO ADJUST IT AT ALL. THE CLIMATE CONTROL SECTION UNDERNEATH THE RADIO CONTROLS WERE COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT AND NON-FUNCTIONING. THERE WAS NO BUTTONS ILLUMINATED NOR WERE THE AMBIENT LIGHTING AROUND IT ILLUMINATED. I TRIED RESTARTING MY VEHICLE AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. THE CLIMATE CONTROL EVENTUALLY WAS FUNCTIONING AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, I REGULARLY GET AN ALERT FROM THE INFORMATION SCREEN IN BETWEEN THE GAUGES STATING SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "SERVICE STABILITRAK". EVERY TIME THE MESSAGE APPEARS I FEEL THAT MY ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION LOSES A BIT OF IT'S SENSE OF FUNCTIONALITY. MY CAR JERKS REGULARLY. I WAS TOLD IT MAY BE THE AUXILIARY BATTERY WHICH I'VE REPLACED AND I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES.

WHEN DRIVING CAR STARTS TO JERK. SOMETIME IT FEELS LIKE A MAJOR JOLT AND OTHER TIMES IT A SLIGHT JERKING FEELING. I'VE COMPLAINED THE 1ST YEAR I GOT THE VEHICLE AND THEN 2 YEARS LATER I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN IT WAS IN FOR SERVICE PROBLEM WAS NOT DUPLICATED NOR ANY INDICATION OF OF ISSUES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP. NO WARNING LIGHT INDICATING VEHICLE ISSUE ARE PRESENT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT WHATS GOING ON. THIS REALLY NEED TO BE RESOLVED ASAP.

CAR WAS SITTING STILL AND IT WAS REAR ENDED HARD AND SENT MY CAR FORWARD INTO THE CAR WITH B FRONT OF ME MY AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. IT WAS A HIGH IMPACT CRASH AND THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF I WAS SEEN IN EMERGENCY ROOM WITH POSSIBLE FRACTURES TO MY STERNUM AND THIRD RIB. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED AND THE CAR MAKER NEEDS TO BE AWARE IN THE EVENT OTHER CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. MY CONTACT IS (XXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THE VEHICLE HAS AN AUTO STOP/START FEATURE THAT ENGAGES WHEN AT REDLIGHT. THE FUNCTION HAS STOPPED WORKING. PAID TO HAVE EXPENSIVE AUXILLARY BATTERY REPLACED AND SYSTEM CHECKED. HOWEVER SYSTEM IS STILL INOPERATIONAL AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX.

I STARTED MY CAR AND DROVE ABOUT 1/4 OF A MILE AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME UP ON MY CAR STATING ENGINE POWER REDUCED. PULLED OVER PUT CAR IN PARK TURNED CAR OFF THEN ON THEN DRIVE. CAR DID FINE FOR ABOUT A MILE. THEN CAR SHOWED REDUCED ENGINE POWER AGAIN AND THEN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF ROAD AND WOULD NOT START BACK. WAS IN MIDDLE OF CURVE GOING UP HILL. CAR WOULD NOT EVEN ROLL WHEN PLACED IN NEUTRAL SO THAT I COULD GET IT OUT OF ROAD.

MY VEHICLE AT HIGH REVS WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS IT THEN BEGINS TO STALL AND LOSE SPEED. I HAD THE ISSUE INSPECTED BY MY DEALERS AUTO SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD A BLOCKAGE IN MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NO CODE HAS APPEARED FOR THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS UNDER THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AUTO START DOES NOT WORK. IT KEEPS GIVING ME A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS TEST. THE CODE CAME BACK WITH P305F DTC DEFINITION.

MY CAR CUTS OFF AT LIGHTS . THESE PROBLEMS ARE IN THE DRIVE SHAFT . THE VVT THING.

REAR WHEEL BEARING AND HUBS REPLACED AT 22,790 MILES AT 37,00 MILES LEFT REAR AND RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS ARE BAD AGAIN

ROCKER ARM CONTROL VALVE- GM PART # 12633613 . CAUSES CHUGGING, SHUDDERING, SLOW ACCELERATION, DELAY WHEN GOING FROM A STOPPED POSITION (I.E. STOP LIGHT/ SIGN), POOR GAS MILEAGE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND WILL NOT ALLOW FOR REMOTE START TO BE USED. DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED OVER 15 MPH, EITHER IN TOWN OR HIGHWAY/ INTERSTATE, THE ENGINE WILL CHUG OR TRY TO STALL. ALSO GOING OVER 45 MPH, WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER WHEN DRIVING. ACCELERATION IS DELAYED, CAUSING ISSUES WHILE AT INTERSECTIONS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND AN ABNORMAL RINGING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT CALLED KELLER CHEVROLET (3600 GENESEE ST, BUFFALO, NY 14225, (716) 650-4589) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WOULD BE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE CAR WAS REAR ENDED AT A FAST SPEED AS IT WAS PROCEEDING AT A SLOW PACE AS TRAFFIC WAS STARTING TO TAKE OFF FROM BEING AT A STAND STILL. THE PERSON DRIVING WAS SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE SAME TIME THE SEAT BELT FLEW OFF AND THE BUCKLE STRUCK THE DRIVER ON THE ARM CAUSING INJURY THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT RETRACT BACK INTO PLACE AND ALSO THE DRIVER'S KNEE HIT THE STEERING CAUSING THE KEY TO BREAK OFF INTO THE IGNITION CAUSING INJURY TO THE KNEE AND LEG. THE CAR ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE TOP OF THE BRIDGE LEADING TO THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS MOVING AT A SLOW PACE BECAUSE TRAFFIC HAD STOPPED THEN PROCEEDED TO GO. IT DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO GO FULL SPEED BEFORE BEING STRUCK. I BELIEVE THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT CAUSED THE SEATBELT TO MALFUNCTION I DON'T KNOW WHY THE AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY.

WE HAVE A FAMILY MALIBU, PURCHASED BRAND NEW. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER GOT OUT AT ONE STOP, AND GOT IN ON THE NEXT STOP. THE BACK SEATBELT ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAS FREEZE FOR NO APPEARENT REASON, NOT ALLOWING THE SEATBELT TO COME BACK OUT PAST A FEW INCHES. IT IS NOT FOLDED,ECT AND IS STILL NEARLY NEW. A TRUCK DID PULL OUT IN FRONT OF US IN NOVEMBER 2017 WHILE THE FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR, WE HIT IT GOING ABOUT 15 MPH, BUT THAT WAS 8 MONTHS BACK AND LIKELY ISN'T RELATED. (AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF DUE TO LOWER SPEED).

MY CAR STARTED MAKING THIS LOUD ROARING NOISE AT 75,000 MILES. IT GOT WORSE THE LONGER I DROVE IT. I ENDED UP GETTING WHEE BEARING REPLACED. LOOKING ONLINE I FOUND OUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH 2014 MALIBU'S. MOST ARE GOING OUT BEFORE 50,000 MILES OR LOWER. I THINK CHEVROLET NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

AUTO STOP START MALFUNCTIONS WHEN STOPPING AT STOP LIGHT, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND RESTART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WITH CODE P305F COMING UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (PAT O'BRIEN CHEVROLET, 2315 STATE RTE 60, VERMILION, OH 44089, (888) 392-1095) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,614. **TR SENSOR, BRAKE LIGHTS STAYING ON CONSUMER STATED I PURCHASED THIS 2014 MALIBU FROM MY SON KEN WHO LIVES IN MCCARDSVILLE, IN. THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED IN THE ON POSITION AND WERE ONLY NOTICED WHEN OUR SON KEVIN WAS FOLLOWING US ON A TRIP THIS PAST JUNE. SINCE THER WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW LONG THIS DEFECT EXISTED. I AM ENCLOSING THE COPY OF REPAIR THIS PAST JUNE. UPDATED 10/22/18*JB

I BELIEVE MY 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU IS EXPERIENCING A MANUFACTURING RECALL INVOLVING DRIVING VISIBILITY ISSUES WITH THE DEFROST/DEFOGGER SYSTEM THAT WAS RECALLED ON ALL 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU'S MADE BETWEEN 06-2013 AND 11-2013. THE RECALL NUMBER I FOUND FOR THAT WAS #13V567000 AND THE RECALL CAME OUT ON 11-13-2013. THE EXACT DESCRIPTION FOR THIS RECALL STATES, ''THE HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) CONTROL IN THESE VEHICLES MAY INTERMITTENTLY BECOME INOPERABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, PREVENTING THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER FROM WORKING. THUS, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 103, "WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING SYSTEMS."' MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN 09-2013. THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS I AM ONLY ABLE INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON MY AIR CONDITIONING, HEAT, AND DEFROST SYSTEM. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN ON WHEN I TURN THE KNOB WITH THE FAN ICON, AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T TURN ON AT ALL, EVEN FOR PERIODS OF OVER 24 HOURS. NOT ONLY DOES THIS MEAN I CAN NO LONGER CONFIDENTLY CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR, BUT I CAN'T ALWAYS USE MY DEFROST OPTION EITHER WHICH CREATES A MAJOR VISIBILITY SAFETY ISSUE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR IF IT IS PARKED FOR THIS TO OCCUR. WHEN THE SYSTEM DOES TURN ON, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. THIS IS A CAR I'M STILL PAYING ON AND I'M NOT EVEN GAURAUNTEED TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS BASIC SAFETY FUNCTION WHEN NEEDED. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND GAVE MY VIN NUMBER TO THEM, AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME THEY SAID MY SPECIFIC CAR WAS NOT APART OF THE 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU RECALL. I'M ASKING IF MY INCIDENT COULD PLEASE BE INVESTIGATED AND RECONSIDERED AS PART OF THE RECALL CONSIDERING MY ISSUE MATCHES THE EXACT DESCRIPTION OF IT. I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO GO NEXT OR WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS. I APPRECIATE AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO MY CONCERN.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 10 MONTHS AND WENT TO START IT ON 5/31/18 AND THERE WAS NO HVAC AT ALL. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT BUT TO NO AVAIL. EVENTUALLY IT DID COME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER BUT IT IS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY. LIVING IN S. FLORIDA IT GETS VERY HUMID AND WHEN IT RAINS THE WINDSHIELD STEAMS UP SO YOU HAVE TO RUN THE AC. AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO PULL OVER OR OPEN ALL THE WINDOWS WHICH SOAKS MY INTERIOR. MY HUSBAND HAS A HEART CONDITION AND I AM VERY AFRAID TAKING HIM TO HIS APPOINTMENTS. I WENT ONLINE AND RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2013 BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE. IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED BY SOME THAT IT IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM THAT CAN BE DONE BY THE DEALER BUT NO DEALER WILL TAKE CARE OF IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE ELSE FOR FEAR OF SOMEONE MISSING UP THE COMPUTER ALL TOGETHER. PLEASE HELP! THIS IS AS BAD AS DRIVING WITH NO WIPERS. THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE ALONE.

WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE WARNING SIGNS COMES ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN WONT ALLOW ME TO TURN ALL THE WAY LEFT OR RIGHT SO I BASICALLY GET STUCK ON THE STREETS INTERSECTIONS PARKING LOTS STEERING WHEEL IS STIFF THE WARNING SIGN WOULD COME OFF EVERY TIME I WOULD HIT A BUMP BUT NOW ITS SO HARD AND STIFF TO TURN I HAVE TO USE FULL FORCE JUST TO MAKE A TURN. I TAKE IT IN AN D THEY SAID THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY VERY FRUSTRATED AND VERY SCARY.

WAS DRIVING CAR AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF AND EVERYTHING LOCKED UP. THE KEY STAYED STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO GO INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK. ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY THAT COULD OF GOT ME KILLED!!! MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE IN GOOD CONDITION. SO IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE FOR CAR TO DIE OUT OF NOWHERE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH WITH THE SUN ROOF TILTED UP WHEN IT SUDDENLY EXPLODED. NOTHING HIT THE GLASS. I WAS NOT AROUND ANY TRUCKS OR OVERPASSES. GLASS SHARDS CARPETED THE VEHICLE INTERIOR. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. IT WAS A SUNNY DAY AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS 68 DEGREES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN OR WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER AND WINDSHIELD DEFOGGER WERE ACTIVATED, THE WINDSHIELD FAILED TO DEFOG. THE FAILURE MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE CONTACT TO SEE THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V567000 (VISIBILITY). THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. UPON TAKING OFF CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. IT JERKS FRONT TO BACK. CHECK ENGINE, ABS, TRACTION LIGHT, SERVICE STABILTRAK LIGHTS CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO GAS STATION CLOSE BY. TURNED CAR OFF. WAITED A BIT. CAR TURNED ON AND DROVE OFF FINE. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO MOCK SINCE. HAD HOOKED TO DIALYSIS MACHINE. STATED SOMETHING ABOUT A VACUUM, BUT THEN DISAPPEARED ON MACHINE.

IF I CHANGE THE SETTINGS OF MY DEFROST OR HEAT/AC AT ALL, THE BLOWER STOPS WORKING. IT WILL THEN COME BACK ON RANDOMLY IN 10 MINS OR AN HOUR OR DAYS. WHILE DRIVING I WON'T BE ABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD AT ALL. MY DEALER RESET THE COMPUTER (MARCH) AND IT WAS FINE BUT NOW HAS STARTED AGAIN. NOW IT IS BACK TO JUST NOT TURNING ON RANDOMLY. MY VIN IS NOT APART OF THE RECALL?
