The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning. In addition, the vehicle would accelerate at high speeds without warning. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 143,911.

Tl the contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the vehicle abnormally accelerated to 80 mph as the engine rpms increased to 4,000. The contact had to coast onto the shoulder and turned the engine off in order to stop the vehicle. The contact then noticed smoke being emitted from the engine area. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who test drove the vehicle, but was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred several times. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was 82,000. Kmj.

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.

When I take my foot off the gas pedal my car keeps accelerating. From a stop it will accelerate to 45 mph without me touching gas pedal. On the freeway it keeps accelerating until I brake. This condition is intermittent and can be canceled by me turning off car and restarting the engine. I have a 2001 chevy Malibu.

When we would just start the car it would rev up to between 3000 to 4000 rpm and it would stay that way. This was only one way that it would act up. The other ways were when you were just driving along and the car would start to accelerate on it's own. Both ways you had to ride the brake and ride it hard in order not to hit the person in front of us. We had it in to one dealer twice with nothing getting fixed. We took it to a different dealer three times, they randomly replaced different things (guessing) at our cost, but problem still persisted. We even took it in when it was revving up to 3000 rpm, while they were under the hood it even went higher! we were told to turn it off because they were afraid it would blow, but when we came back to pick it up they said that it didn't happen again and they couldn't fix it if it didn't do it for them again. They told us that the best thing for us to do was to trade the car in on a different vehicle, we told him that this thing is a problem that should be taken care of and not just traded in. We contacted gm and told them that this is a problem that can cause serious harm not only to my wife and myself but to others. Gm did nothing to assist with the problem. They said that if the dealer couldn't fix it that they couldn't help us. They wouldn't even contact the dealers to see what the problems were. We have approx. 116,000 miles and it now has additional problems with the acceleration. We still have the car because we can't afford another at this time, but I feel like I'm driving a time bomb.
