Wheel bearing from gm dont last. My car has 75000 miles and have already replaced all 4 and those were done may 9 using gm parts and have another one that is failing.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving at 60 mph in inclement weather over a bump in the road, the contact lost control of the vehicle as the front end veered. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but had not been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving approximately 5 mph, the transmission was shifted into reverse, but failed to shift into gear. The contact stated that this was a recurring failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. In addition, the contact stated that while driving from the dealer, the engine light illuminated. The vehicle was driven back to the dealer, where unknown repairs were performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

My rpm keeps going up and down at stops and I took it to a dealer and they found out my piston is cracked at compression rings. There is also a service bulletin issued by gm pi-1178 affecting 2. 0 turbo engines ,I talked to 2 gm represantatives both denied of having a service bulletin issued on this car . And theydont want to change my engine but replace the pistons and the rings ,my car will be at the shop another week!. I always had gm cars 1 and this will be my last gm car because its a cheap company!.

In summer 2015 while using ac, heat randomly would blast out. (while idle or driving). Would have to restart car to get ac to work again. In the past 2 weeks dec15/jan16, engine overheated-idle indicator came on while driving on the highway, once at 65 mph, once at 30 mph. Then a few minutes later it would turn off. I looked at temp gauge, and it was not at an overheating level (half way only). Also, now heat only intermittently works. I will have to turn car on and off repeatedly, and turn ac on/off, heat on/off, defrost on/off, and sometimes the heat will finally get warm. Never seems to get hot like it's supposed to. Took to repair shop for the engine overheated/idle warning and stated nothing was wrong. Safety issue not having heat for front windshield defrost when it's under 30 degrees out. Mechanic said it's probably a computer issue with the car. But now I'm seeing this is a recurring problem with many car owners. Gm needs to recall, as this can be a safety concern!.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated as the check engine sensor illuminated. The contact had to turn the vehicle off and back on several times. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who was not able to neither replicate nor diagnose the failure. The VIN was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 13,000.

Steering became sticky stiff in 12 o'clock postition, making steering corrections difficult with overcorrecting. There is definitely a problem that could be a sever safety hazard. I was traveling on I-75 at 65-70 mph when malfunction occurred. I contacted a dealer in tampa and they did not seem too concerned, hard to communicate due to it being a holiday weekend. The tampa dealer advised if there was a problem, I would have received a recall letter. I am concerned, being on vacation, for the long trip back to knoxville. Also, I have experienced transmission shutter at low speed, intermediate problem.

Vehicle sold and delivered with an open active safety recall (13142) on it at time of purchase, which was a violation of federal law title, 49 subtitle vi, chapter 301, section 30112a3 restricting the sale (and/or introducing into commerce) of a vehicle with a safety defect. This information is consistent with the information in gm recall bulletin #13142. Dealer sold have not sold or delivered the vehicle until the recall was addressed. Dealer/Chevrolet risked the safety of the vehicle owner and general public by placing it into commerce with the open recall.

Was entering parkway and car failed to accelerate but the engine was revving . Car stood still as if in neutral.
