The vehicle was in motion going about 40 mph and hit another moving vehicle. Most of the damage was done to the headlight area on the left side of the Malibu. Moderate damage to the Malibu but the drivers side airbag did not deploy.

At 17000 miles, I noted cracks in the sidewalls of the original equipment Firestone FR710 tires. My mechanic inspected the tires and told me that the tires were completely dry-rotted, requiring replacement of all 4 tires. The date code on the tires (4210) indicated that the tires were 4 year old at the time that the cracks were noticed.

Bought the car in February 2013. In June 2014 while driving on the highway it started saying service traction control. Car stalled and stopped. It did this 3 times on the highway. Changed tires. In July 2015 on the highway it did the same thing. Got the full body throttle changed. In November 2015 had taken to another shop. Langs tire and automotive. They changed the full body throttle again. Now January 4, 2016. The car is stalling try push gas when this happens and doesn't accelerate. The service ESC light is on now.. I also have 3 kids and a grandbaby that rides in this car. I'm just so irritated. Then to see how many other people are having same exact problems. They should refund everyone their money back on these cars. Evidently they were not made right in the first place.

On 3/28/15 I purchased a 2011 Chevy Malibu from rainbow Chevrolet in laplace Louisiana. When test driving the vehicle, I noticed a very small and hardly noticeable jerk when the car changed into 2nd gear. I was told by the salesman that it was normal and I took his word for it. Almost 7 months later, the issue has gotten 1000 X's worse and the engine light is now on. I know for a fact that this is not normal now. The jerk is violent and it now jerks when putting the car in park, drive and reverse. Pulling off slowly, makes the car jerk very hard. If you apply more gas when taking off, the jerk is not as bad but it's still bad. The car did not come with a warranty but I was ok with that because I was told that car had been inspected thoroughly, that an elderly couple previously owned the car, that there was nothing wrong with the car and I had also just gotten rid of a 2005 Malibu that I bought brand new in which I had no serious problems with. I purchased this car for my daughter in college. This car is not safe. I have read hundreds of complaints online and on the Chevrolet Malibu forum in regards to the same problem as well as other problems. The car currently has 53,803 miles which is not very much in car years and I do not feel that I should have to pay for this problem since there are so many issues documented that I am having. Last but not least, I am unable to fill up the car with gas. It stops at about tank and starts to spill out. This was noticed shortly after I bought the car also. I bought this car for my daughter who is in college and it is definitely not safe to drive. I am a single mother and I do not have the resources to repair a vehicle with issues that should be part of a recall list.

This is exactly what the dealership wrote on the purchase order it reads as follows; dashboard panel insert towards winshield was detached at time of car purchase we owe heat cold checking- insert was detached concerned it may happen again. I assured her it will not. Nothing is broken on it. If it occurs again, we will reattact at no charge. That is only the first of many incidents that has occured was this vehicle that is still under warranty and three recalls that have yet to fixed. If the problem dosn't get resolved as so as possible and compensation as well I will assume this is a lemon law concern or problem with the GM/General Motors or with the dealership that has been bought out not once but twice and they are so hateful and I'm rude back to them. I hope to hear from someone soon I hope everyone has a wonderful afternoon.

I was driving down a side residential street, when I went to park noticed that the car was stuck in reverse. I wasn't able to put the car in park. The shifter began shifting into different gears and felt as there was no catch. I turned the car off because I didn't know what had happened. The key was stuck in the ignition, because couldn't put the car in park. I exited the car and the car started to roll backwards and hit the car behind me. I applied the emergency brake and the car still rolled in reverse. So I unhooked the battery cables and applied bricks behind the tires. I had a mechanic come to see what happened and he stated that this had been a recall on prior years of this model, but not the year of my car. I am afraid to drive the car and I went to the Chevy dealership in which they nothing about this part, but state many people have complained and nothing has been done. It is unsafe with this defect. The cable comes off the hook and you will not be able to apply a shift to any gear and the car will accelerate regardless. I don't want to put my infant in this car knowing that is a defective part that Chevy should fix. Not to mention the car seatbelts are a malfunction. Chevy this really needs to be looked at for this year make and model.

Took my car in to dealer because it started shaking violently going 20 mph, needed a new transmission is what I was told, had the transmission put in and now the ESC, and other lights are on!

The driver side door failed to open from the inside of the vehicle, despite being unlocked. The door was unaccessible from the outside of the door. Manually locked and unlocked, used the lock/unlock device on the key ring, pressed childlock on and off- unsuccessful. There are several instances noted on on-line blogs with the same issue. The car dealership stated there is an issue with the latch, costing ~$367 for repair. This issue is not covered under the 30K or 100K mile warranty. Does a recall need to be issued?

2011 Malibu. I have multiple instances of the service ESC, service traction control & engine power reduced messages appearing. It happens at various times. The car will start sputtering and jerking then the different codes start flashing on the console. The car reduces speed and will not go over 20 mph. It's happened multiple times on side streets and highway going speeds in excess of 65 mph and when taking my daughter to school. You never know when it's going to happen an D is becoming extremely irritating and an inconvenience. On the first incident, I took the vehicle to the dealer which they replaced the throttle body. Less than two months went by and the problem started again. Went back to the dealer in April, 2015 and in May 2015 in which they told me nothing was wrong and they couldn't replicate the problem. As of 5/24/15 the problem is still not fixed. Out of 265 complaints on here, I find that 103 of them is this exact problem therefore there is obviously a serious issue with the manufacturing of this vehicle. This is very dangerous and GM needs to address this issue before someone dies or is seriously injured.

Ac / heat was working fine then all the sudden it quit working without warning. No noise, no indication what so ever it was bad. I took it in and the relay was bad so it had to be replaced. Now 7 months later, all the sudden went out again. Hard to believe that this happened again. There has to be a reason it keeps failing. This is an expensive part to be replacing so often, can't defrost or defog windows when neededd.

While driving the vehicle I suddenly felt a light jerking sensation. The service ESC and service traction control lights immediately came on. The vehicle jerked to a stop. Once the vehicle was turned off and then restarted the indicator lights are gone. I've had this problem several times in the past two months and have had it in the shop. The certified Chevrolet dealership changed the front wheel bearing. The car did well for a little over a week. Now the problem is reoccurring. The dealership also found codes for a fuel injection failure but were not able to "duplicate" the codes so no repair was performed on that. The service ESC and service traction control problem is dangerous. If I didn't have to go to work I wouldn't drive the car. It's a safety hazard as I am a long distance commuter. I have had all service and recalls completed since purchasing the car a little over a year ago. Dangerous!! I'm hopeful that our government officials will force GM to issue a recall to remedy the issue before people lose their lives.

This has happened 3 times in 1 year. I'm driving at low speeds between 25-50 when my engine almost cuts off completely. A loud thumping (like a mis fire) and my dash lights come on and read service svc, engine power reduced. Both times the car has done this it has left me stranded. I had my car in the shop they said they tightened the "wiring harness" well how convenient that now that my bumper to bumper is gone they wanna replace the throttle body. This is unsafe and is going to cause a wreck and kill someone. If I would have been pulling out into major traffic and this happened I would have gotten hit and killed.
