general problems of the 1999 Chevrolet Malibu

My 1999 chevy Malibu 3. 1 v6 engine won,t turn on the engine whend I try to turn the ignition switch and key lock cylinder on and the fuel pressure regulator won,t work whend I try to turn the ignition switch and key lock cylinder on and the airbag srs system comes on in the spring time and in the hot summer time heat and in the winner time.

I located a recall that my car has not been fixed and took it to the GMC dealer in laramie why where my car sat for 2 weeks and endless calls no call back for the ignition recall and other issues that my car had I have emailed and called and all I have gotten was a bill for non sence and headacks and nothing has been fixed on the car and I have lost money and time because they wouldnt fix the recall or even knolaage the problem. Just un professional and un reasonable people that again would not even take the time to talk to me about the recall just let me loose my job. . . Again the auto place is GMC laramie and the rep that would not give me the time about my car is rich!.

Well started when I first bought this stupid pos. Gas gage didn't ever work. I never know !much gas I've got. Then the abs light started coming on flashing. Had it checked out by a mechanic but couldn't find anyway to fix it. The brakes then started in on me almost causing an accident but the other car didn't realize I had no way possible to stop. They just quit working no notice. I then lost the ability to roll down the back window then the door on the drivers side quit locking. To make things better the passenger front window quit and lock completely gone. Can't even unlock it with the key. Steering then started. Started hearing a big clunk when trying to turn the wheel and it started locking up. Now it's been less than six months since buying this car and it's immobile. I have sunk so much into it that I couldn't afford to pay my lot rent so it's drove me to be homeless trying to live out of this thing chevy wants to call a car had to give my pride and joy my two children to my ex husband. I lost my job over not being able to get to work and late over car trouble. I've almost gave up on life and am currently sitting in this thing at a wal-mart with no way to pay to get it to turn left or right no way to repair it no way to pay for food or to replace this car. It's destroyed my lively hood as a woman and mother taking away everything I've worked so hard for in life. Once in a blue moon can ask for enough money to stay in a cheap motel(not any kids would be good in if my meaning is understood) to get a shower but that's as far as help can go.

Passlock sensor theft system, I believe this was a huge mistake for the gm company. As a owner of the 1999 chevy Malibu, and exper. The problem many times. I have reviewed many complaints on the internet about this part as it keeps the vehicle from starting and is a very expensive part to replace. It is dangerous as well as a inconvenience to many. . . . It can take up to ten minutes for the passlock sensor to reset in which case parents may have to leave there children in the cold or reverse in the heat which could be dangerous to infants or toddlers. . Many people replace the part for hundreds of dollars and in return it defects again. It causes people to be late for very important appointments such as doctors visits or even the case of (work). I believe the gm company should evaluate the part and try to come up with a solution. Many people are talking about this part in which it should be recalled. As a owner of this vehicle I foresee a very big lawsuit coming about in result of injury due to the sensor not working properly. It causes more problems with the owner than it does with thieves that is supposed to be working against.

The theft system light kept coming on. It won't start I have to wait about 20mins before the light goes off . I have had my car for 2 -3 years. The problem started about a year ago. How can one light give me so much grief. My car is not worth stealing. Is this problem included under safety standard 102 (09v-073) chevy Malibu recall ? please advise.

At about 27000mi (3000mi. Service) I notified dealer of squeaking in front & rear suspension bushings. Dealer sprayed lube on rear (about $100)and notified me that they would have to lower complete front end to lube front, approx $200 more. Extended warranty didn't cover. At 30000 mi service dealer notified me I needed complete brake job. I inspected brakes while on lift. Mechanic said he made mistake! he said that he hadn't pulled wheels of yet. Said there was 80% left, repair invoice said 50% left. A little over a week later there was a puddle of trans fluid on garage floor & air conditioning smelled like urine when on, also switching itself from recirculation to fresh. Took car to dealer, they replaced switch, deductible $se on extended warranty, sprayed something in outside vent (mold they said?), and tightened trans cooling line, their fault! three days later cooling leak, dealer replaced water pump, deductible $'s on extended warranty. Two weeks later the rear power window actuator (motor & cable assembly) quit! I might have used this window 12 times since I bought 99 Malibu LS from champion Chevrolet, reno,nv. New in 12/99! all things considered, I feels like they are sabotaging my vehicle to get back at me for discovering they lied about brake job! also after reading your complaint list, I realize that I am not alone thinking that brakes, steering vibration, and reliability in general is poor on this vehicle.

#1 on the stock radio, which came with the Malibu, the lights illuminating the radio buttons and knobs burnt out. First along the bass, treble, fade & balance turn knobs and now all the preset buttons #'s 1-6. You can't see anything on the radio in the dark now. #2 I have terrible reception of fm (some times) and am (all the time) radio stations. This has gotton worse since I owned in 6/13/02.

Please understand this is not the normal static electric shock you occasionally get from other vehicles. This is on the order of three or four times as strong. I am concerned that the energy released during one of these electric shocks could ignite gas fumes at a gas station when I go to fill up the gas tank.

Problems with brakes since car was new, engine oil leaks, electrical problems.

Everytime passenger gets out of vehicle experiences an electric shock.

On two occasions while driving, the vehicle would shut down with no warning inhibiting the control of the vehicle with entire console going blank and gauges dropping to zero. The cause of the failure has not been diagnosed. Please describe details.
