general problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

This car had hardly driven off the lot,as a certified used car with 31000 original miles on the od and I put only 800 miles,when the rotors,and brakes,and steering started knocking,and becoming what I would call "stiff,non-functional" power steering,and pull violently to the left,when uphill. The harsh shaking,of the rotors,and the "stringy feeling of the brake pad,loose was not stopping at a proper safe level. At the future,within 2008-2009-2012 the steering column,was recalled,and put in twice and the brakes were not good,requiring more replacements,and rotors shaved for my safety as it rattled the front end,and caused steering,and distracting for driving safely. I had multiple close calls on basic driving,in rural area,uphill,where power steering went out,the car was not able to be controlled. Prob 10 times,on freeway I could not go past 60 miles,or the engine would act strange,pulling,and again threatening to fail power steering. To date,,now the maf failed,and shut off the engine while driving,again locking up the brakes,and in the middle of traffic. In total it has 30000 new miles in less then 6 yrs and it remains a deathtrap.

2006 Chevrolet Malibu maxx ss, all four rotors had to be resurfaced/turned to warping at 10,000 miles. Car currently has 18,500 miles.

We purchased our 2006 mailbu maxx in November 2005. Two months later there was a violent shake in the front end, the dealership turned the rotors because they were warped. Then we started having trouble with the electrical system right after the warranty ran out. The rear wiper comes on by itself, interior lights blow constantly as well as headlights. Door locks work when they want to. Keyless has not worked for three years even with new remote batteries. Since the car has had 40,000 miles on it the power steering has been acting up. My wife has hit our garbage cans and even my truck pulling into the driveway. We cant even trade this piece of crap in because everybody knows the problems with this car. Our Malibu has 78,000 miles on it and we have put 4 sets of brakes on the front with heavy duty rotors and three sets on the rear. Gm is not concerned with the safety of their customers. This car is crap and they know it. We should at least get 200 percent over trade in value to purchase another vehicle. Like a rock. . . . More like a turd!!!!!.

Bought car new 2/06. Once home and driving I noticed an electrical issues consisting of radio interference when using any electrical buttons in car, such as windows, and my charging outlets in the car blow fuses when used. When I turn my air or heat on my brake petal drops down at least 2 if sitting at light. If driving and I turn on my air, the car lunges forward. This is at a critical level now. I took into their dealership from the first month I purchased the car until March of 2007. No one could fix the electrical issue and dealership could not supply me with even the paperwork to show me what they researched while it sat there for over 4 days. Problem is now deadly and I need this electrical issue fixed. I received notice of recall 13036 but nothing concerning the problem with the brake petal and acceleration I have had since purchase. Contacted dealership to get (lemon) replaced and they said, tough luck. Purchased as is. . .
