general problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Malibu

1st when got car from local dealer cruise control worked next day still hasn't,interior lights not working with new bulb,brake light on, leaking oil from pan,front end drifting,than at station no power steering. Didnt know wtf,wheels didn't turn,shut off he later was there. Ignition switch will keep turning. Rins battery dead. Im scared power steering will go out while driving. Its a scary thought. Think I will sell . It's the worse recall I've heard of. Can they be fixed.

Steering is not working, making it too hard to turn the wheel. Vehicle was in motion when it happened, while in a highway; has some electrical issues like check engine light on and speed control is not working properly.

Abs control system module weak brake pedal.

Brake system failure weak brake pedal and pressure.

Had m y car in for recall work now it shows reduced engine power or something like that and dies I replaced throttle body and no change still does it now it is throwing a code of p0826.

I purchased a 2005 Malibu maxx from an used car dealer and the very next day the car lost the ability to accelerate and the traction control light turned on my instrument cluster. While the car was coming to a stop I noticed that it lost all power and the engine stopped running. The car would turn over but not start.

After a few days of owning this car I noticed there was an issue with the brake lights turning on while driving. When this happens it also shuts off the cruse control too. When you first press the brakes the lights shut off. Press them again and they work for a few minutes. I searched the internet for help, and noticed gm posted a service bulletin on this issue. Gm advised to clean, and grease contacts for bcm. I did just that. The cleaning was only a temporary fix because the issue returned days later. Around may of 2014 I received notice that gm issued several recalls. The car had been broke down until February of 20015, and in April it was sent to my local Chevrolet dealer to have the recalls fixed. Shortly after fixing the recall issues the brake light issues returned. I contacted gm/ Chevrolet and they contacted my local dealer who agreed to look at the car again for free. After they inspected it I was told the brake switch needed replaced. On may 28, 2015 my local chevy dealer replaced the switch. On may 30, 2015 the brake light issue returned. This is a family car and im afraid that someone will end up hitting us. Can you please help.

I had to buy a transmission for my Malibu and now I am receiving recalls (multiple) # 14152 & #13036 for the same car. However, on the freeway coming home from temecula, CA, south bound on the 15 highway, my transmission was not engaging. No loud sounds, or excess acceleration, nor too much weight (driver and passenger only cargo. ) the engine was on and as I accelerated the engine was going but nothing was propelling us forward. I had to buy a new transmission and pay for labor which came out to a hefty expense. With everything I have read online and forums for these recalls I feel like a reimbursement should be in order if the manufacture even had a slight hesitation of a possible defect.

2005 Malibu accelerated at high speed in reverse.

Purchased car 12/26/05- in February, heard a strange rattling sound in car on right hand (passenger) side of car. Spoke to dealership once about it, my husband took rep on drive so he could hear it. He said he could hear it. . . Take it to service. Husband took the car into service. They could not recreate the sound, could find nothing wrong. May 26, 2006 - driving along at 8:00 a. M. On a Friday morning - while driving along curve, car lost control, about to go into ditch on right hand side, swerved to the left to avoid. Felt like car was out of control, almost hit oncoming traffic, swerved to the right to avoid, consequently ran into ditch. Could not slow car down. Hit driveway ahead of me and car went airborne landing in ditch on the opposite side of the residential driveway. I survived, no injuries. Car totaled. Purchased another chevy Malibu lt but new year 2006. Figured any kinks would be worked out in the new model.
