general problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu

The dash is displaying service power steering service tire monitor system service esc and traction control. All of which have been recalled on other 2008 chevy Malibus with different VIN numbers then mine. I feel my Malibu is unsafe and needs to be inspected and placed on the recall list as well. I am available to have the car inspected as soon as possible. The steering is popping and grinding when I turn. The steering wheel jerks when I drive over bumps and the car sways and swerves which makes it hard to control. This is a family vehicle my young child rides in the car daily and I worry about his safety due to the steering locking up like the other recalled Malibus. I am scared to drive it I feel like it is very unsafe. The vehicle has only been inspected by my certified mechanic. There were warning lights displayed on the dash as I stated above. They've been since I bought the car at the beginning of February.

Malibu passed the inspection stick at herb connolly where I bought and after pick up the car for first time since deposit. I drove home and noticed clink somewhere in the suspension system. I brought it to my own mechanic and mechanic found the problem-inner tie rod. I am surprised because it should be fail the inspection stick, period. Malibu's warranty under herb connolly as same place where the inspection stick. I need your advise on as how to handle with this situation with herb connolly and tell them that they are responsible for cover repair cost.

Displays, esc off, traction control service, and engine power reduced. And when accelerating it doesn't really move . It takes a while to get speed up. And I was almost run over by a tractor trailer. This just started all of a sudden. And I have only had this car for about a year. It is stated that the Malibu has recalls.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle started to shake violently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the u joint failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.

I was t boned by another vehicle going the wrong way on a one way. I then was sent up a curb 35 mph hitting a tree head on dragging the car down the tree then went up a small hill almost ending up in someones porch. I passed out at some point. Not one airbag went off in my vehicle. I contacted gm and they requested pictures first. I sent pictures of the Malibu and was told they didn't feel the airbags should of deployed. I would have to find the vehicle for them to check the module. I found the vehicle and gm says the module was now put in another vehicle and I now have to find that vehicle. This next person might not live through a accident. Why wouldn't they find this. Vehicle and check the module? my car was totalled. I worry about the person now driving with this module in their car! isn't this the problem gm has now?.

I have a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu 2lt with 111,000 km on it. I have been noticing a few things since I purchased this from brand new. Overall my car has been ok with getting me from place a to place b. The issues I have had that are pretty serious flaws are the power steering column, the alignment, the automatic power transmission, and the door locks. I have been able to get by however recently I had to get the steering column replaced under a special warranty policy. I had to "kick and scream" however in the end the part was installed. That would have cost me about 900 dollars if it was not covered. Now I am having an issue with the "check engine light" indicator. This came on for the first time yesterday and when I called to get a diagnostic I was told that there is an issue with the power transmission. It seems after looking on-line that there are a lot of people with the same care as mine having issues with the transmission. Now I am getting nervous since I just paid 13,000 to buy out my lease. I have called gm customer service and they told me that they will work with me and the dealership to get this fixed. Before I go to the dealership I want to have all my documentation that indicates that this is a special policy issue and not something that I have to pay for out of my own wallet. I have put about 38,000 into the purchase of this car and do not have any more room to dump tons of money to getting this fixed especially when other gm customers have paid out of their own pocket to realize a few weeks later that there is another issue on the transmission that needs fixing. I am going to do everything in my power to have this covered by gm. I have been a proud gm owner all my driving life and want to make this right. I dread needing to fix the car and selling it. That is not an option for me at this time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
