general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Malibu

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the four doors would inadvertently lock and unlock, causing the battery to drain quickly. The contact used pliers to unlock and open the doors. Additionally, the headlights were dimmed, and the turn signals intermittently failed to operate as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the body control module (bcm) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

The vehicles brake lights are not working properly. They are on when driving and no brake pedal pressure is applied. When you apply brake pedal pressure the brake lights go out. This is a safety hazard cars approaching from the rear do not see a stopped car. Chevrolet had a special policy and technical bulletin regarding this issue. It stated that the electrical pins going to the body control computer did not have sufficient contact. The bulletin went on to say that to attempt to resolve the issue apply dielectric grease to the contacts in an effort to allow the contacts to make sufficient contact to pass the current. They also advised to secure the wiring harness to the body control computer and structure of the car. This is a major safety issue effecting cars from 2006-2014.

Passenger low beam lights continue to turn off/burn out. This is the 4th time I have had to replace the passenger low beam light bulb. It sometimes come on when I drive on a bumpy road.

Passenger airbag light remains on. Unable to pass safety inspection. Went to dealerership and they stated I needed a passenger presence module and the price on the part is $1348. 16. My car has 216,000 miles on it. Still runs well and has been paid off for years.

Airbag light stays on will not go out.

I took my car in to get repaired for all of the vehicle recalls. They had my car for about 6-7 months and then when I got it back I have had nothing but problems. My lights go out every couple of weeks and or work only when they want too, then my radio would only work when it wanted too and now my windows only work when they want too and it's driving funny. Yesterday I went to replace another dtr light and while doing so we noticed all the wires are melted. One of the recalls was for the transmission. Shift cable which in turn states that if it was to become loose or detach or etc would melt my wiring harness and dtr lights and etc. I have 4 kids and this is my only vehicle and instead of fixing the recalls they made it worse and now me and my children s lives have been put in danger. What is going to happen when my car starts on fire and I can't get my kids out or my self? I need this fixed ASAP for free before I get a lawyer and it seems no one at any gm location wants to address these issues or return a phone call.

There are so many issues with this car and I am not at all happy. Just received 2 recalls on it for the electrical system and for the transmission shift cable. There are issues with the steering having a clunking sound and now I have to replace a tire because of it. Tires were purchased last October. I have read several complaints on this specific vehicle and other recalls. My son has to use this car to go back and forth to work which is only 7 miles one way, and I do not even trust it that far. We get told we will be contacted when the parts for the recalls are available, meanwhile something can happen and if it does you may just have a lawsuit on your hands. I just want to give the car back and get something else without having to add the remaining balance due to a new loan.
