2014 Chevrolet Malibu Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO MOVE. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN ABOVE 20 MPH WITHOUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP. ALSO, THE "PLEASE SERVICE STEERING" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 8-3897166123. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,731.

I HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES WOULD NOT BRAKE AND POWER CUT OFF AND CUT BACK ON

TATATA RECALL CAR FILLS WITH WATER, TRUNK AND FLOOR BOARDS.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FATALITY CRASH DURING WHICH THE DRIVER HEADREST INCLUDING ANCHORS CAME OUT OF THE SEAT BACK AND WAS OBSERVED IN THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY (DISABLED - OUT OF GAS) PARTIALLY IN A MOVING LANE OF TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH AND STRUCK BY A MOVING VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE GEAR SHIFTER MOVED, BUT THE GEAR INDICATOR LETTERS DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT ENGAGE IN GEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER (JIMMY GRAY CHEVROLET IN SOUTH HAVEN, MISSISSIPPI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TCM CAUSED THE GEARS TO GO INTO DEFAULT MODE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE ACCELERATION. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 83794508813 WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,780.

AUXILIARY BATTERY IN THE REAR COMPARTMENT FAILURE CAUSING FIRE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND NOT POWERED ON. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN POWERLESS FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 HOURS PRIOR TO THE FIRE.

ACTUATOR LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES, STEERING SOMETHING WAS DIAGNOSED BY PEP BOYS, WINSHEILD WIPER ISSUES, BRAKE PROBLEMS, ENGINE OVERHEATING AND REQUIRES COOLANT SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. SOME ISSUES STILL OCCURRING, SOME PROBLEMS WHERE FIXED BY RICK HENDRICKS CHEVROLET IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2017.

SIDE VIEW MIRRORS KEEP FALLING OFF. TABS HOLDING MIRRORS IN PLACE ALWAYS BREAK WHICH CAUSES MIRRORS TO FALL OUT OF SOCKETS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. HAD TO REPLACE BOTH MIRRORS ON VEHICLE AT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE.

INCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD ISSUE AFTER ISSUE WITH TRIM, ABS, STABILITY TRACK, HEATING SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION, AND WHEEL BEARINGS. I HAVE HAD THE STABILITY TRACK FIXED TWICE, TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING (COVERED UNDER A RECALL). WHEEL BEARINGS IN REAR BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN REPLACED BEFORE 80000 MILES. WIRING HARNESS TO WHEELS, THE DEALER SHIP HAD TO SPLICE ( I STILL CANT SEE HOW WIRING HARNESS IS NOT A COVERED COMPONENT. FOR A MANUFACTURE BASED OUT OF A STATE THAT HAS SNOW, AND TO PROVIDE A VEHICLE THAT HAS A STABILITY SENSOR THAT GETS DIRTY BECAUSE OF SALT THAT WILL ERROR IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. SAME FOR THE DEFAULT WHEEL BEARINGS ONE WINTER IN MICHIGAN AND THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED (ALSO NOT A COVERED FEATURE). TRIM THAT BLOWS OFF ON THE EXPRESS WAY. I LOST MY WINDOW TRIM AND THE FRONT BLACK COVER. FUNNY HOW THE 2015 MODELS HAVE A SCREW IN THEM BUT NOTHING FOR US POOR 2014 OWNERS THAT HAD AN ISSUE. I CAN PURCHASE A NEW ONE AT 60.00 (REALLY ITS PLASTIC). ABS COMES ON EVERY TIME I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE STABILITY TRACK, WHICH IS EVERY WINTER IT GETS DIRTY. ENGINE LIGHT ON NOW SO I CANT AUTO START THE CAR, MORE THAN LIKELY THAT WILL BE CAUSED BY THE GLAMOROUS AUX BATTERY THAT WAS ENGINEERED FOR THE LOVEY AUTO STOP FEATURE THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. HAVE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TO BE RIPPED OFF SOME MORE....APPT SHOWED A P011 CODE, SECOND TIME IN SHOP TO HAVE IT FIXED. UPDATE: MONTHS LATER, ABS ON THE DRIVERSIDE HUB IS NOW OUT. YES YOU GUESSED IT THE P011 ENGINE CODE IS BACK. (THIRD TIME). FIXED TWICE AT THE SHOP. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO MAKE GM WAKE UP AND FIX THESE ISSUES. IT JUST LIKE MY KEY ISSUE WITH MY 2004 IMPALA . CAR STALLS BOGGS DOWN AT 70 MPH.

WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY. MY CAR, AS WELL AS OH SO MANY OTHERS, HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE MAGNETIC RING ON THE BEARING ASSEMBLY BREAKING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT CAUSES THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, STABLITRAK AND BRAKE ASSIST TO ALL SHUT DOWN. THESE FAILURES HAPPEN FREQUENTLY AND REPEATEDLY. IT'S ESTIMATED TO BE A $400 FIX...FOR EACH ONE. CONSIDERING NOT EVERY OWNER CAN JUST RUN TO A DEALER ON A MOMENTS NOTICE TO HAVE ONE OR MULTIPLE BEARING REPLACED, IT LEAVES US WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE A CAR WITH ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS DISABLED UNTIL THE REPAIR CAN BE MADE. IT MIGHT NOT BE A PROBLEM IN PLACES LIKE CALIFORNIA OR FLORIDA WHERE THEY DON'T DEAL WITH SNOW AND ICE, BUT HERE IN IOWA, IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN TO NOT HAVE THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE ASSIST AND STABLITRAK FUNCTIONING. THE WORSE PART IS, I CAN FIX ONE AND HAVE OTHERS GO BAD OR FIX THEM AND THEY GO BAD AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO AUTO STOP MODE AND FAILED TO START WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE GENERATOR BATTERY CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY. SOME TIME AFTER THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT, THE FAILURE RECURRED. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT A SECOND TIME, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO AUTO STOP MODE AS DESIGNED. THE DRIVER RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND BEGAN TO HESITATE. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT SEEMED AS IF IT WOULD STALL AT ANY MOMENT. THE CONTACT RAN ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHICH RESULTED IN THE SAME FAILURE MESSAGE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR THE 2013 MODELS AND NOT THE 2014 MODELS. THE MANUFACTURER OPENED CASE NUMBER: 8/3551621673. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,600.

VEHICLE HEATING AND A/C QUIT WORKING. VEHICLE HAD A RECALL BACK IN 2014 WHERE HVAC MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED. DURING THAT TIME NONE OF THE CONTROLS FOR HVAC SEEMED TO HAVE ANY POWER (NO LIGHTS). DURING CURRENT ISSUE ALL THE LIGHTS STILL LIGHT UP ON THE CONTROLS, BUT THE BLOWER MOTOR DOES NOT FUNCTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND SHATTERED GLASS WAS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (GARRETT MOTORS IN COOLIDGE, AZ, 520-723-5401) AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS UNUSUAL, AND THAT SOMETHING MUST HAVE CAUSED THE EXPLOSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ABS AND CHECK ENGINE SENSOR INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN, THE VEHICLE WOULD SKID AND SLIDE BEFORE STOPPING, WHICH CAUSED THE STOPPING DISTANCE TO INCREASE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (ROD HATFIELD CHEVROLET IN LEXINGTON, KY) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. *LN UPDATED 7/25/18*JB

WE HAVE A 2014 CHEVY MALIBU 2.5L AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH 42310 MILES ON IT AND BOTH THE BACK HUB (WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY'S NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT STARTED MAKING NOISES ABOUT 200 MILES AGO AND IT ALMOST UNDRIVABLE NOW. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED DO TO FEELING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ON TOP OF THE CAR PAYMENT I HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER 875 BUCKS TO FIX A PROBLEM I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING. I'VE OWNED SEVERAL CARS AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE UNROLL NOW AND THIS WAS MY FIRST NEW CAR PURCHASE AND NOW MY LAST WITH CHEVY.

IN 2016 I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL WORKING SOMETIMES & SOMETIMES NOT. AFTER A YEAR OR SO WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ABS LIGHT INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON (OCT.2017) AFTER TAKEN IT TO AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALER IT WAS FOUND THAT MY LEFT REAR WHEEL HUB UNIT BEARING BROKE, A LITTLE OVER A MONTH LATER, THE ABS & THE STABILITY TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. THIS TIME IT WAS THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB UNIT BEARING BROKE. IT CONTROLS ALL THAT TAKES PLACE WITH STOPPING, CRUISE CONTROL,SKIDDING, BREAKING,ETC.... EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE PER TIRE & NOT SAFE! AFTER QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH THE MALIBU & IMPALAS ARE WELL KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE.I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I WAS TRAVELING DOWN AN EXPRESSWAY(I-75)!

MALIBU WHILE DRIVING JUST HAS HOT AIR BLOWING AND WHILE SITTING ROOM TO DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAYS IT IS FINE. IT CONSTANTLY BLOWS HOT AIR IN 104 DEGREE WEATHER CHECKED COOLANT AND ANTIFREEZE AND COMPRESSOR STILL NOT WORKING BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED BUT EVERYONE CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM

ITS A COMMON PROBLEM I HAVE SEEN THAT HAPPENED TO ME 2 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THIS CAR. THE REAR WHEEL BEARING AND HUB ASSEMBLY IN BOTH WHEELS HAVE GONE BAD AND IT CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT TO COME AND REPAIRS COST OVER 700 DOLLARS. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND HAPPENS TYPICALLY AROUND 50,000 TO 60,000 MILES. I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL SEEING AS THIS IS MY FIRST BIG CAR PURCHASE AND FIRST CHEVY PURCHASE. IF THIS ISNT COVERED BY RECALL SOON OR BY CHEVY THEN THIS WILL BE THE LAST AND ONLY TIME I EVER GET A CHEVY ANDITS SAD BECAUSE I ACTUALLY WORK FOR A DEALERSHIP AND STILL GOT SCREWED. PROBLEM STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON SO I HAD OUR MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND THATS WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 14 MALIBU EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM THE DEALER. THE CAR RPM WILL GET STUCK AROUND 3000 IF I'M CRUISING AND PRESS THE BRAKES TO DECELERATE WHICH HAS CAUSED ME SEVERAL TIME TO HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF OFF THE ROAD SO THAT I DON'T HIT ANYTHING. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT STOP I HAVE TO PRESS BRAKES THEN PRESS THE GAS TO MAKE THE RPM ACT RIGHT. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD A BAD JERK WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THE CAR RPM IS NEAR OR AT A STEADY 2000 IT WOULD JERK UNTIL I SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND PAID FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND DIAGNOSTIC AND STILL THERE WAS NO GOOD NEW ALL BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T MAKE THE ISSUE REOCCUR. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THESE ISSUES WAS ABOUT A MONTH AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND HAS HAPPENED EVERY SINCE WITH MY LAST OCCURRENCE BEING 08/13/2017. I AM ABOUT READY TO GIVE UP ON CHEVY AND CHANGE MAKES BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO NOT WANT TO HELP AT ALL WITH THE ISSUES I'M HAVING.

I HAVE A 2014 MALIBU THAT HAS AROUND 86000 AND AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED JERKING AND MY POWER LOCKS WERE GOING UP AND DOWN CONTINUOUSLY ALONG WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE." AFTER I CAME TO A STOP, PULLED OVER TO TUN OFF THE IGNITION, MY RADIO WAS STILL ON EVEN AFTER I OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE INGNITION. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I ATTACHED AN IMAGE OF THE MESSAGE. I REALLY HOPE THAT GM HAS A RESOLUTION FOR THIS.

BAD WHEEL BARRING AT 22560 MILES I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 8000 DEALER SAYS THINGS GO BAD YOU DO THE MATH. THIS SHOULD NOT BE GOING. AD TILL MAYBE 90,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE INTO A NEARBY DITCH. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A COLLISION CENTER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT END NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V247000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT, BUT MADE NO MENTION AS TO WHY THE REPAIR WAS NOT COMPLETED BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD ISSUE AFTER ISSUE WITH TRIM, ABS, STABILITY TRACK, HEATING SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION, AND WHEEL BEARINGS. I HAVE HAD THE STABILITY TRACK FIXED TWICE, TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING (COVERED UNDER A RECALL). WHEEL BEARINGS IN REAR BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN REPLACED BEFORE 80000 MILES. WIRING HARNESS TO WHEELS, THE DEALER SHIP HAD TO SPLICE ( I STILL CANT SEE HOW WIRING HARNESS IS NOT A COVERED COMPONENT. FOR A MANUFACTURE BASED OUT OF A STATE THAT HAS SNOW, AND TO PROVIDE A VEHICLE THAT HAS A STABILITY SENSOR THAT GETS DIRTY BECAUSE OF SALT THAT WILL ERROR IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. SAME FOR THE DEFAULT WHEEL BEARINGS ONE WINTER IN MICHIGAN AND THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED (ALSO NOT A COVERED FEATURE). TRIM THAT BLOWS OFF ON THE EXPRESS WAY. I LOST MY WINDOW TRIM AND THE FRONT BLACK COVER. FUNNY HOW THE 2015 MODELS HAVE A SCREW IN THEM BUT NOTHING FOR US POOR 2014 OWNERS THAT HAD AN ISSUE. I CAN PURCHASE A NEW ONE AT 60.00 (REALLY ITS PLASTIC). ABS COMES ON EVERY TIME I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE STABILITY TRACK, WHICH IS EVERY WINTER IT GETS DIRTY. ENGINE LIGHT ON NOW SO I CANT AUTO START THE CAR, MORE THAN LIKELY THAT WILL BE CAUSED BY THE GLAMOROUS AUX BATTERY THAT WAS ENGINEERED FOR THE LOVEY AUTO STOP FEATURE THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. HAVE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TO BE RIPPED OFF SOME MORE.

THIS CAR ALLOWS YOU TO SHIFT TO REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, ETC. WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR FOOT ON THE BREAK. YOU CAN SHIFT TO PARK WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *TR

THE ABS LIGHT SHOWED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER WHEN I STARTED MY CAR TO LEAVE FOR WORK ON A MONDAY MORNING SO I TOOK MY CAR TO GREEN CHEVROLET IN DERIDDER LA. THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAID THE SENSOR WAS BAD SO THEY ORDERED ANOTHER. AFTER REPLACING IT THE LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF SO THEY SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO CHECK INTO THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A SENSOR AND WOULD BE CLOSE TO $ 400 TO REPLACE IT. I PAID $200 THE FIRST TIME. SO I CALLED GM TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL THAT WAS IN PLACE ON THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT WHILE THE RECALL WAS ACTIVE, IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY CAR BECAUSE IT CAME FROM A DIFFERENT PLANT. SO GM WORKED WITH THE REPAIR SHOP TO LOWER THE COST FOR THE SECOND REPAIR. I PAID $115. THAT AS IN FEBRUARY 2017. THE MECHANIC AT THE SERVICE CENTER SAID THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PART BEING REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE RECALLED. IN APRIL 2017 I WAS ON MY WAY TO MISSOURI FOR A FUNERAL AND MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD TO BRING MY CAR IN WHEN I RETURNED HOME. I CALLED GM AGAIN TO COMPLAIN THAT IT WAS ON AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK INTO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT A DIFFERENT WHEEL. AGAIN THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE RECALLED. SO NOW I HAVE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED AND PAY MORE MONEY. I AM WRITING TO ASK WHY THE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR ALL 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBUS. I AM PAYING FOR A PROBLEM THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON WHILE OTHERS OWNERS ARE NOT. MY CAR HAS 47,000 MILES . IT IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE. HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM? PLEASE EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES. OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT HAPPENING TO CARS FROM JUST ONE AREA. THANK YOU

BRAKING BEFORE POTENTIAL COLLISION, ESPECIALLY SMOOTH BRAKING, REVEALS THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT RETRACTOR HAS AN INHERENTLY AND SUBSTANTIALLY UNSAFE DESIGN. *TR THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT HAS DELAYED AND INCONSISTENT LOCKING, OFTEN NOT LOCKING IN BRAKING OR LOCKING LATE. EVEN WHEN IT DOES LOCK EARLIER, IT ALLOWS TOO MUCH TRAVEL, I.E. 1/3 DISTANCE TO WHEEL. UNDER MODERATE BRAKING, BEFORE ENOUGH DECELERATION OCCURS TO LOCK THE BELT, THE DRIVER CAN TRAVEL VERY FAR FORWARD AND IT'S HARD TO HOLD ONESELF BACK. EVEN WHEN READY FOR THAT, THE FORCE NEEDED IS A DISTRACTION FROM WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE ROAD AND MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. ALSO, EXPERTS HAVE SAID THAT BEING TENSE DURING A COLLISION MAKES INJURIES WORSE OR MORE LIKELY. THE COMPLAINANT HAS TESTED THIS MANY TIMES UNDER STRAIGHT BRAKING ON 25-45 MPH ROADS WITH THE SEAT AS FAR BACK AS IS DRIVABLE AND THE WHEEL AS FAR AWAY AS PRACTICAL FOR A SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE SIZE GUY. UNDER MODERATE BRAKING, THE BELT LOCKED WITH MY HEAD 1 INCH FROM THE WHEEL. IF A COLLISION FOLLOWED, MY HEAD WOULD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY AT NEARLY POINT-BLANK RANGE TO HEAD AND CHEST. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT HAS AN ALTERNATE MODE ACTIVATED BY PULLING THE BELT ALL THE WAY OUT, WHICH ACTIVATES A RETRACT-ONLY RATCHET SO IT WILL HOLD THE PASSENGER CLOSE TO THE SEAT UNTIL RELEASED. THE DRIVER'S BELT DOES NOT HAVE THAT FEATURE. SUGGEST CRASH TESTING WITH BRAKING FROM 70 TO 40 MPH JUST PRIOR TO COLLISION RATHER THAN CRUISING INTO THE BARRIER AT STEADY 40. WITH THE 2014 MALIBU'S RESTRAINTS, THE DUMMY COULD EASILY BE 1/3 TO FULLY AGAINST THE WHEEL AT MOMENT OF COLLISION. THE PERSON SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT DOES NOT FEEL AT ALL SAFE WHILE DRIVING WITH THIS DEFECT IN THE PRIMARY DRIVER RESTRAINT SYSTEM. THIS IS A 3-YEAR-OLD CAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION, GOING BY RECORDS AND PROFESSIONAL INSPECTION. *TR

THE "AUTO STOP" HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT IS SUPPOSE TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP TO CONSERVE FUEL HOWEVER THE TACHOMETER INDICATES THAT THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING AND DOES NOT DROP TO "AUTO STOP" AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TACHOMETER. THIS DOES NOT SAVE ANY FUEL AND IT COMPLETELY WORTHLESS.

DEC. 28 , 2016 I WAS LEAVING TO WORK AT 4 AM WHEN I TURNED ON THE MY CAR I TRIED TO TURN ON MY DEFROSTERS BUT I'M A/C WASN'T TURNING ON UNTILL LIKE 10 MINS AFTER THE CAR WAS RUNNING IT TURN ON. THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE SUMMER OF 2017 IT'S LIKE 110 DEGREES I TRIED TO TURN ON MY A/C JUST WASN'T TURNING ON MAYBE CARS HAVE BAD DAYS TOO.

WHEEL BEARINGS OR HUBS GOING BAD ON NUMEROUS MALIBU'S. MANY REPORTED BELOW 30K MILES. MY CAR IS AT 53K AND 2 &1/2 YEARS OLD AND JUST HAD MY FIRST WHEEL HUB GO! THE DEALER PAID BASICALLY FOR THE LABOR AND I PAID FOR THE FACTORY PART THAT WILL GO BAD AGAIN. THE PART BY ACDELCO HAS ONLY 1 SEAL AND THAT MAYBE GOOD FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY BUT THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY USES SALT WHICH WE AS CONSUMERS CAN NOT CONTROL. I WASH AND CLEAN MY CAR REGULARLY TO KEEP SALT OFF IN WINTER.BUT THE SEAL IS STILL CORRODING WITH NO BACKUP PROTECTION. MOOG PROVIDES A WHEEL HUB AND USES 4 SEALS! HOW ARE WE AS CONSUMERS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE WHEEL HUB IS GOING TO GO. THE WHEEL HUB IS GETTING WATER AND DIRT INSIDE MEANING THAT 1 SEAL IS FAILING! ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. HELP US STOP THAT FROM HAPPENING. IF MY VEHICLE WAS 7 YEARS OR HAD 100K MILES ON IT AND A WHEEL HUB WENT BAD THEN I WOULD REPLACE ALL 4 TO BE PROACTIVE, BUT AT 50K MILES I OR WE AS CONSUMERS (HOWEVER YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT) SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE THAT PROACTIVE TO KEEP THE WHEELS ON THE CAR! ALSO WHEN I CONTACTED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND ASKED THEM FOR A REPLACEMENT WHEEL HUB AND TOLD THEM IT WAS FOR A 2014 MALIBU, EACH ONE OF THEM RESPONDED BY SAYING "THAT'S NOT SURPRISING, WE GET A TON OF PART REQUESTS FOR THAT PARTICULAR PART ON THAT VEHICLE." 2 OF THEM EVEN CHUCKLED BECAUSE THEY KNOW WE WILL NEED 3 MORE AND THEY KNOW THE PROCESS WILL CONTINUE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. LUCKILY FOR ME I DO MY RESEARCH AND WON'T BE PUTTING ANYMORE WHEEL HUBS BY GM OR ACDELCO ON MY VEHICLE. I WILL BE PUTTING ON MOOG! SADLY OTHER PEOPLE WON'T RESEARCH LIKE I DID AND WILL GET TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND IF THEY TRADE THEIRS CARS IN ALL THEY ARE DOING IS EVENTUALLY PASSING ON THEIR PROBLEM TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS UNSUSPECTING. THE BEARING SOUNDED LIKE EXTRA LOUD ROAD NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. AFTER SHIFTING GEARS TO EITHER THE REVERSE OR DRIVE POSITIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION IN THE DIRECTION OF WHICH GEAR WAS ENGAGED. LANGDALE CHEVROLET IN SYLVESTER, GEORGIA WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE AUTO STOP FEATURE MALFUNCTIONING AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION. PRINCE CHEVROLET IN ALBANY, GEORGIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE AUTO STOP FEATURE, AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD MALFUNCTIONED. PARKER CHEVROLET IN ASHBURN, GEORGIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE SERIES OF FAILURES ON MAY 8, 2017 AND STATED THAT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,785. UPDATED 10/18/17*LJ *JS *CN UPDATED 10/5/18*JB

THE REASON FOR THIS COMPLAINT IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE CHEVROLET HAS DEFECTIVE ABS SENSOR EMBEDDED IN THE WHEEL HUB OF THIS VEHICLE. WE PURCHASED TWO OF THESE CHEVROLET MALIBU CARS A COUPLE MONTHS APART AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH EACH. ONE OF OUR VEHICLES WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (VIN [XXX]) AND REPAIRS COME AT A COST OF $450.00 PLUS PER OCCURRENCE WITH UNDER 65 THOUSAND MILES. WE HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME FAILURE TWICE WITH THE OUT OF WARRANTY VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AND 3 THOUSAND MILES APART. AFTER DOING MINIMAL RESEARCH AND COMMENTS MADE BY THE MECHANIC AT OUR SMALL DEALER I BELIEVE THIS IS A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM THAN A COINCIDENCE. PEOPLE PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES WITH THE ABS - TRACTION CONTROL AND EXPECT THEM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT EXPENSIVE REPAIRS AS REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. AS OF TODAY THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS DEFECT. I HAVE OPENED A SERVICE REQUEST WITH GM [XXX] THIS VEHICLE HAD A SENSOR FAILURE WHICH IS EMBEDDED IN THE HUB ASSEMBLY. THE SENSOR FAILURE DISABLES THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE HUB ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS FAILURE HAPPENED WITHIN THE CHEVROLET BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY PERIOD CONSEQUENTLY IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN CAR IS ROLING ,THE STERING HAS TO BE IN A WORD [ YANKED] TO REDIRECT YOUR CENTER OF YOUR [ ONE] LANE !!!!!! 80%ON HIGHWAY DRIVING...NOTE,ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECKED AND RECHECKED THREE TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD A CONTINUOUS NOISE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,509. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

A LADY RAN A RED LIGHT AND T-BONED MY CHEVY MALIBU ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AS I WAS PROCEEDING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY HEAD SLAMMED IN TO THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS SMASHED IN. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED BECAUSE IT COULDN'T BE DRIVEN. I HAVE A CONCUSSION THAT'S LASTED FOR 2 WEEKS AND BODY PAIN FROM THE ACCIDENT. SHOULDN'T THE AIRBAGS HAVE DEPLOYED?

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY CAR CUTS OFF FREQUENTLY AT STOP LIGHTS ALSO MY CAR ACCELERATES SLOW WHEN ENTERING ONTO HIGHWAY... I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT 7/18/16 IN WHICH MY AIRBAGS ON STEERING WHEEL PARTIALLU DEPLOYED WHILE THE OTHERS DID NOT IN RESULT LEAVING ME WITH A FRACTURED FINGER.

JULY 16,2016 MY 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU WAS PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE SPACE AND BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THE CAR WAS OCCUPIED WITH A FRONT SIDE PASSENGER AND 2 REAR PASSENGERS. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP IN THE CAR AND PRESS THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR FROM GOING FURTHER. I DO NOT SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL OR THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL. I AM CHECKING AFTER SEEING AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT ON THE NEWS OF THE SAME PROBLEM RESULTING IN DEATH.

I JUST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER AND NOTICE CHUNKS OFF RUBBER COMING OF THE TIRE AND THE CAR ITSELF HAS LOW MILES 40,000 WANT TO KNOW IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX ISSUE

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN MY WIFE GOT INTO CAR AND TURNED IT ON SHE TURNED A/C ON AND IT WAS ONLY BLOWING HOT AIR. THEN SHE NOTICED ALL DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES WERE NOT WORKING AS WELL. IT ALSO GAVE HER LOTS OF PROMPTS SAYING SERVICE AIR BAGS AND OIL. SHE TRIED DRIVING IT DOWN THE STREET AND SHE NOTICED ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, AND GAS GAUGES WERE NOT WORKING AS WELL. SHE ALSO SAID THE TOUCHSCREEN FOR RADIO WAS TOTALLY BLACK AND RADIO WAS NOT WORKING. SO SHE BROUGHT IT BACK HOME AND TURNED IT OFF AND RADIO CAME ON AND DID NOT WANT TO TURN OFF EVEN WHILE CAR WAS OFF AND DOORS WERE OPEN. SO I CAME HOME AND TURNED CAR BACK ON AND NOW EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. WE DONT KNOW IF THIS IS AN EARLY SIGN OF SOMETHING GOING OUT OR IS GOING TO BE OUT IN THE FUTURE BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CAN BE DRIVING AND WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN......

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DUE TO A FAULTY SEAL IN THE TRUNK, THE VEHICLE FLOODED IN FEBRUARY OF 2014. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CERVICAL NECK STRAIN THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE POWER SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND PCM WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,065. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JACK TAYLOR TOYOTA (3750 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22305), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED OR DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RADLEY CHEVROLET (3670 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, FREDERICKSBURG, VA 22408) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HUB BEARING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A MONTH LATER. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WORKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS SHIFTING INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO RADLEY CHEVROLET WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TAKATA RECALL. STARTED MY MALIBU TO RUN SOME ERRANDS AND THE STABILITRK LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SAID REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THIS IS A 2014 MALIBU LT. AFTER DRIVING IT , THE STABILITRK LIGHT WENT OFF BUT THE LIGHT FOR THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER IS STILL ON. THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING THE WAY IT SHOULD. I HAVE IT SCHEDULED FOR A DIAGNOSTICS. SEEMS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH GM. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR HAD NO POWER AND THIS HAPPENED ON THE FIRST START OF THE MORNING.

STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM, ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND WHEEL BEARING. 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD THESE LIGHTS COME ON, DRIVING AND TRACKING CONTROL KICKED IN AND THEN THE LIGHTS ALL APPEAR. I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED, AND THEY SPLICED INTO THE WIRE, NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ACCORDING TO CARE. YET IT IS PART OF WIRING HARNESS.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, ALL GAUGES AND THE RADIO GOES BLACK, EXCEPT FOR THE MIDDLE SCREEN WHICH THEN FLASHED "SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM, SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, SERVICE PASSENGER MONITORING SYSTEM." I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM GOING OR ANYTHING ELSE TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER THERE IS NO INTERRUPTION OF POWER OR ANY AFFECT TO THE ENGINE. IF THE PASSENGER LIFTS THEMSELVES OFF THE SEAT, THE SYSTEM THEN RESETS AND EVERYTHING RUNS PERFECTLY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS ALOT, AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR DAYS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE 6 PAGES OR ERROR CODES SHOWING A LOSS IN COMMUNICATION. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS POSSIBLY SOMETHING LOOSE OR THAT A SENSOR IS GOING BAD, HOWEVER, THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO LOCATE THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE ON A TRIP TO FLORIDA THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUBS WENT BAD WITH LESS THAN 21000 MILES. VEHICLE WAS NOISY AND SLIGHT SHIMMY N THE REAR WHILE DRIVING ON ALL TYPE OF ROADS AND AT ALL SPEEDS.

WHILE DRIVING APPX 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY A "SERVICE STABILTRACK, REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE" MESSAGE CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY THE CAR BEGAN A RAPID DECELERATION UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. LUCKILY WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE ACROSS 3 LANES OF 70 MPH TRAFFIC & ONTO THE SHOULDER WHERE WE BECAME STRANDED. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 10 MIN WE WERE ABLE TO START THE CAR AND SLOWLY MAKE IT ABOUT A MILE TO A FREEWAY EXIT WHERE THE SAME EVENT REPEATED ITSELF EXCEPT THIS TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. A CHEVY DEALER HAD CLAIMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AS THE SITUATION WAS SIMILAR TO SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND BOTH OCCURRENCES RESULTED IN US BEING AT A DEAD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD NEEDING TO PUSH THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY.

THE WHEEL BEARINGS ARE GOING OUT WITH LESS THAN 40K MILES ON IT AND IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED AND REGULARLY OCCURRING PROBLEM. ON THE MALIBU FORUM THERE ARE OVER 7 PAGES OF PEOPLE STATING THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARINGS WITH AS FEW AS 19K MILES ON THEM. I AM A FEW THOUSAND MILES OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF MY OWN POCKET BUT I THINK ITS RIDICULOUS THAT OEM PARTS, THAT THE GM SERVICE MANAGERS ADMIT ARE FAULTY, HAVE TO BE PAID FOR BY THE CONSUMER. IF MY WHEEL BEARING FAILED I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PUT MY WHOLE FAMILY AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

DRIVING 12/18 BELTLINE EAST BOUND. BETWEEN SOUTH TOWN EXIT AND MONONA DRIVE EXIT. DEBIS IN ROAD HIT BY TRUCK LIC#DG93483 THAT CAME UP AND HIT THE RIGHT FRONT END PASSANGER SIDE OF VECHILE. CRACKED HEADLINE AND FRONT BUMPER DENTED AS WELL AS PAINT ALL SCRATCHED! CALLED NON EMERGENCY POILE AND THEY TOLD ME TO FILL OUT THIS FORM TO REPORT.

STEERING GETS STUCK IN THE CENTER POSITION WHILE DRIVING ON STRAIGHTAWAYS AND REQUIRES FORCE TO CORRECT IT WHICH CAUSES OVER STEERING THE VEHICLE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT AND DIDN'T DO IT WHEN NEW. IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR AS YOU ARE CONSTANTLY CORRECTING THE STEERING.
