I am the owner of a 2002 Chevy Malibu which I have owned since 2003. For the last two years (starting around approximately 90,000 miles) I've have been having problems with the turn signal and hazard light indicators. The malfunction leads to total failure or flickering of the turn signal lights, the hazard lights and the indicators on the instrument panel. The malfunction will occur at any time - sunny, rainy, dry, humid, snowy, hot or cold weather; daytime or nighttime; whether the engine is hot or cold. Occasionally the indicators will work for a couple of days but then the malfunction will occur again. I have no idea what caused the malfunction to begin. The original malfunctioning parts are available as they are currently still installed in my vehicle. I have also been having problems with the heater switch in my car. A rattle type noise in the heater fan assembly was the first indication that I noticed at around 70,000 miles. That stopped when the car was repaired after I ran over a truck tire tread that was in the middle of the highway. The switch worked for a while then I lost the number one and two speeds. Eventually the number three speed went out. I currently can run the heater on speeds number four and five; however, the output is less that what it should be for the two highest fan speeds. The replacement part is currently still installed in my vehicle.

When the weather is wet or snowy, and there is possible slick spots on the road, the ABS is engaged even when you are pulling up slowly to the stop sign, or slowing down to arrive home, or even coming out of the driveway... what happens, is when doing those things in weather as described above, if you attempt to put the breaks on it makes an awful grinding sound and pushed back on you so you cant break... this has happened to me numerous times just backing out of my driveway... I pulled up to a stop sign behind someone this is right on my residential street so I was not speeding at all, it was a rainy day but the rain was light, I have brand new tires on my car too. As I pulled up behind my neighbors car to the stop sign, I was barely pushing down my break peddle when it pushed back at me and made T his deep sound I couldn't stop and I almost hit my neighbor. I went to my long time mechanic and he took it for a drive on a clear day.... he took it on some gravel and stopped hard well the breaks did the same thing. He said it was the ABS even though he didn't look at them. I think it is the wheel bearings. I have had many other vehicles in my life and non of them did that to me on wet or snowy days! I know it isn't normal and I do not feel safe driving the vehicle. I have 2 young children and if the ABS are going to be that stingy then my chances of crashing will be 99% higher!

When it rains the brakes will not grab and hold. Loud howling noise from the front brakes. The whole car shudders hard as if it will fall off of it's frame. Pads and rotors have been replaced four times in a year. Dealer won't check anything else and says GM won't authorize the warranty work!
