Yet again it is me. As many of you on here know there is an electrical problem with the Malibu that appears to be a grounding issue according to my local auto mechanic. This is what happens: I am driving along and for no apparent reason the car's electrical shuts off. Including the radio, ac/heat, engine gauges, speedo, tach, everything inside including head lights. This happens about every other month. After reading over the 594 reports on here I have gained and understanding that alot of you have the same issue. Chevy, I just want to take a sarcastic moment to thank you. To thank you for everything you don't do. Thank you for producing unsafe cars and not having the morality to care at all about peoples lives, and the fact that we have to actually work hard for our money unlike your corporate "big wigs". Then we spend our hard earned money on an "american" brand car, which turns out to be junk and its manufacture doesn't care if it really works or not and is unsafe. Thank you chevy. You are the best!!!!.

All lighting and instrumentation on the dash would go off suddenly for a period of time, then the gages would work again. This would happen at any speed or condition. I took the car to the dealer where they replaced the ignition switch. Have not had that problem since then . But I received a key recall #14350. The rekeying has been completed but no one has been able to tell me if the recall was on the original switch, or replacement switch put in 2011. If the replacement switch was a recall also how do I know if my vehicle was classified under the correct recall?.

This Malibu had blinker and interior lighting problems. The blinkers were either inoperative or worked intermittently. The interior drive panel lighting was either inoperative or worked intermittently. The panel would go black while driving at night so as not to allow the speed of the vehicle to be seen or anything else on the panel to be seen.

The hazard/signal lights on my 2001 Malibu stopped working, and was "fixed" on a recall notice in 2004. The same issue is now occurring again. I have been in a couple of close calls with my toddler in the car.

The consumer is experiencing problems with the daytime running lights. When the consumer turns on the lights, they won't work. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and they are unable to detect what the problem is. Provide further details.
