No accedents. Trying to be a head of it!

- Maple Heights, OH, USA

Came back from running an errand and when I went to go back out to the car to start it to run another errand it wouldn't turn over. The lights and alarm, the radio wipers a/c everything else would come on but it just wouldn't turn over! And I need my vehicle I have upcoming appointments and it's the only thing I have to get around. I've been without a vehicle for almost three weeks now. I need help, I'm low income and I need help getting it back on the road.

The car's anti-theft system (indicated on the dashboard lights) will randomly lock up the engine. Following a massive list of online suggestions from other Chevy owners who had the same problem, I learned to wait for 10-15 minutes with the key in the ignition (lights/radio on, no engine) before the anti-theft indicator disappears and the car can start again. Sometimes, I will have to repeat the process 2-3 times. This has been happening randomly for over 2 years despite taking it into a Chevy dealer for repairs twice. They claimed it was a battery issue and charged me over $500 to fix nothing; The engine would lock up again within a month. A cursory Google search shows that this has affected hundreds if not thousands of GM vehicles, some even claiming the anti-theft lock engaged while they were driving. Please put some serious investigation into the matter so people like me can stop getting price gouged and stuck in freezing weather for GM's incompetence.

Fuel tank straps are broken one completely gone other severely damaged from rust. This is a serious safety issue. I ran VIN #'s didn't see an open recall yet on the Chevy 05 trucks they have recalls. Normally I would try an fix this myself unfortunately do to age and broken ribs I can't crawl under car to fix. I can only assume that this Chevy Malibu isn't the only one with this safety issue. So can someone please make GM recall before a individual loses a full tank of gas on the highway causing god knows what type of catastrophe or deaths. Dollars an cents. Please make GM recall this issue. Thank you please forgive any misspelled words or improper grammar

There was a recall on this vehicle back in 2016. The issue was fixed, but since now has broken again. It is not drivable and was in motion. It is the transmission shift cable kit (recall # 14152A).

My Malibu had a recall for the gear shift cable. Every since it broke, my car key has been stuck in the ignition. This never happened before the gear shift cable broke. When I took my car to be fixed, I assumed since it happened the same time the gear shift cable broke it has to do with the break ! your Chevrolet dealer who fixed the cable said it wasn't part of the recall.. I'm confused on how it dosen't have to do with the break.. it worked just fine until that break. My key is still stuck in the linkage ! I have complained of this before, but heard nothing.. I don't know if this helps but I do have a case #[xxx]. please help me with this matter. I don't feel it should be my responsibility to fix this, since it happened at the same time as my gear shift lever.. not to mention when it broke it left me stranded and had to have the car towed, costing me more out of pocket.. thank you [xxx].

My vehicle stopped on the railroad tracks-the train was approximately 1 mile -or so away- the car just stopped-I then kept hitting on the gas peltal with no movement-so I took my seatbelt off and opened my door -to run away from the scene of the accident- but it was too late the train struck in front of my passenger door-I was suppose to die that night-they reached out to my family-but by the grace of god I am still alive-still live with the injuries that were sustained----

As I was driving up the highway at around 50 mph, with my three kids inside, my 2005 Malibu ls just decides to start losing speed (I used hazard lights) and just gradually stops!! a neighbor helped me get my car down the highway and to our apartments. I tried about twenty minutes later to start my car.it could not have been the battery or the fuel pump because all the electrical lights in the car still came on and the gas needle moved when my key was turned to the on position. However my car did not even crank. It still doesn't want to start. I live outside of city limits and I own my car but this random incident can cause me to lose my job and apartment. I purchased this vehicle less than a year ago and had no prior problems. I could have been killed along with my kids this is very unsafe. There is recall #11E009000 not sure if it is why this car almost killed us but GM definitely owes an explanation for these faulty killer cars on the road.

While driving on city streets and highways the front wheels start to wobble and shake..after a while of driving the brakes seem to start braking and slowing down the car on its own..also you can smell a burnt or rubber smell from the wheels are brakes all occurs at the front of the car, very nerve wrecking. I'm scared to drive the vehicle on the highway due to this problem.

Takata recall. When the transmission control cable broke in my car, the recall covered the replacement of the cable.. but the key is stuck in my car every since this incident of the cable.. my car was stationary, just within minutes of getting of the interstate. I pulled into store parking lot. The cable broke, the key was stuck. I had to be towed home. To this day, I have not been able to remove the key.. both of these incidents happened at the same time. This should of been fixed, but it wasn't. now my car is having electrical problems and sometimes won't start.. please help me to correct this.

Without warning or any sort of pattern to it, the anti-theft passlock system on my 2005 Malibu randomly is triggered and prevents my car engine from starting up, leaving me stranded. I must perform 10-minute reset procedure with key in on position. Has left me in dangerous situations many times. Happens every 3-4 times I start the car - no way to predict it. Mechanics have no idea what's wrong. I have no other keys or heavy items on my key ring. Sometimes car starts fine, other times it won't. started in 2013 and been happening on and off ever since. Googled and many owners are having exact same problem.

On 28 Feb 2016 around 11:50 am, me, my two daughters and my mom was headed North on I-185. While riding we were talking about what we was going to put in the house we had just gotten approved for that Friday and in mid conversation as I'm going around the curve my car goes over the fog line and I couldn't get the car back into my lane and before I knew it I hit the median (wall) on the left side, my hood flew up and the car bounced off the wall and all I really remember from that point is smashing on break but apparently the car kept going, hit the right side of the wall and came to a stop there. Next thing I know a man was waking me up asking am I okay and said help was on the way. I heard my daughter crying for her sister because she wouldn't move so I get out the car and began to get them out to assure they're okay and everything else is really a blur. I remember a man helping my mom out the car as me and my kids sat on the ground waiting for help and I remember going to the hospital with my kids.

My car theft system light keep coming on. One day it came on while I was driving and the car cut off in the middle of the high way I was struck there for 20 minutes until the light stop blinking. This is very very dangerous this is going to cause someone to get into a bad accident. U don't know when the light will come on but it do U will be stranded somewhere this need to recalled. I have research the internet and this have been going on with Chevy cars for a while now this doesn't make any sense. I have put and new fuel pump in the car and spstk plugs. If this don't get recall I will never never never get an Chevy car again and I will make sure my family and friends and their family and friends don't either.

My 2005 Malibu is extremely hard to start. It also cuts off without warning. This is very dangerous, as well as frustrating. In cold weather, it will crank after only a few tries. In warm weather or after driving the car, it can take up to 30 minutes to crank. It spins but does not start without a major hassle. When the car finally starts, I have to hold down the gas pedal to prevent it from cutting off again. Frequently, it still cuts off when I put it into gear & I have to go through the starting process repeatedly. It is not reliable & has resulted in my being late to work, as well as leaving me stranded. A female being stranded is not safe. If it should happen to cut off in traffic, I will have no control of the vehicle which could result in an accident. I have tried the suggestions related to this common issue which is blamed on the theft deterrent system, but I continue to have the same problems. This is an every day occurrence, forcing me to start cranking my car 30-45 minutes before I have to leave for work & causing me to sit alone in parking lots trying to start my car so I can go home. The check engine light is on and I had it connected to a computer to be tested. The code number said "no part, no fix" & the mechanic who checked it said he had never seen that so had absolutely no idea what it meant. Reading online forums, I have found that this is a very common complaint from Malibu owners, yet nobody knows how to fix the problem. Chevrolet needs to recall and resolve this issue before someone dies due to it.
