2004 Chevrolet Malibu with noise in the steering wheel customer states that this problem has been going for 2 years without correction from the dealership* the dealer replaced various parts in the steering, however the problem remained the same. The battery was replaced. The vehicle hesitated to start. The dealer found the ignition switch had shorted out internally. The horn was replaced. The cd player made a clicking sound.

While driving 60 mph the steering wheel locked. The consumer pulled over and restarted the vehicle. The horn did not work as well. Ea04018_cat.

No incidents, crashes or injury's while in my possession. The 2002 chevy Malibu I bought used in 2004 only had 11,000 miles on it. It was a government used car. Several months after buying the car the blinkers stopped working and then began working again. They now work when they want to work. Now, almost a year later at 41,000 miles the horn blows a short beep anytime. The car may be running or not, there may not be anyone even in the car. This has been going on for about a month and a half and now there is a beeping tone inside that I have not identified. It doesn't do it constantly but I notice it when I start the car. It is a short "alert" beep, kind of like an alarm. It beeps once, pause, and then about three times pause and then once more. Just wondering if there were any recalls for this as the warranty is not in affect any longer. In addition to these there has been about three occasions where my car hestitated when starting kind of like the battery was drained. Could this be from the horn blowing all day and night? have also replaced brakes more often than I thought I should.

Horn inoperative, accident nearly occurred. Took vehicle to dealer twice dealer denied failure occurred. Horn now is inoperative.

1st issue: vehicle horn not working at steering column. Replaced fuses under hood and still does not work. Horn does work when vehicle's panic alarm is sounded and when remote locks are activated. Will attempting to get vehicle fixed but concerned about previous recalls for electrical problems with this vehicle. 2nd issue: this vehicle is equipped with an automatic headlights on/ off sensor. This sensor appears to have failed from the first few months I have owned this vehicle. Daytime running lamps never activate. The nighttime headlamps are always on when ignition is on.

Horn will not always works, goes in and out. Only works sometimes. Started by just going out occasionally, now it hardly ever works. Many failures have occurred, on many different occasions.

While vehicle was being driven horn unexpectedly sounded off without applying mechanism that controlled horn location on the steering wheel, cause unknown. Please give any further details.

Horn was replaced twice by the dealer. No lights illuminated on the dashbaord as linked to another problem. This keeps causing a short circuit. Consumer stated the vehicle has been to the dealership 5 times for electrical problems, the multi-function switch, relay switch and cancel cam horn were all replaced, also the intake manifold gasket was leaking oil due to the gasket being improperly sealed, the oil pump drive seal was replaced.

I have been having problems with my hazard lights as well as turning signals. They have been replaced since the last recall, but have went out again. I also have been having problems with my fuel line, such as my vehicle not wanting to accelerate, it seems that it idles at a intersection light with the rpm's going up to the 2 or 3 then acting as if it wants to shut off. I had the fuel line replaced not even thirty days after purchasing the vehicle. I purchased the vehicle Jan of 2000, and I did see some investigation concerning the fuel line months prior to the purchase. My vehicle stopped on the side of the highway, and my vehicle was towed to a chevorlet dealer outside of lansing near lake odessa. I at that time was not charged for this fuel pump which they did try to charge but because it happened within the thirty days they replaced the fuel pump at no charge. I do see on this site that this vehicle a 2000 chevy Malibu has been investigated due to fuel problems so I hoping this was looked into properly and brought to the surface once again because my pump was changed in 2000 and has been giving me problem since 2002. I have had tune-ups, transmission changed, routine oil changes, fuel line cleaned, diagnosis ran, and the results are nothing I'm hoping to get to the bottom of this before taking any documentation to a lawyer concerning a matter that has been brought to the surface but nothing done about it. Also I've took this vehicle back to the dealer where it was purchased and they can't find anything wrong with it. The question they ask is whether the check engine light has come on or not. I have all sensors checked out and that not the problem, but my gas leaves fast and I have a hard time accelerating on the residential streets as well as the high way. I also have been having to change the fuses in order for my horn and cigarette lighter to work. So someone please look into this because it's getting worse. Thanks for your time and consideration.

The problems experienced are as followed: defective/shorted turn signal(replaced, check engine warning lamp, 5 attempted repairs of noises/knocking in the front end/suspension/steering (which have TSB's), brakes/rotors, faulty ignition wires, poor performance/stalling, uneven tire wear, inaccurate fuel gauge readings, and no cruise control or horn. The dealer could never duplicate any of the problems. Refer to odi#10013971 mr scc.

The engine stalled while driving due to a faulty ignition switch. The steering wheel was loud due to an improperly installed cam/horn contact. Scc.

Per consumer vehicles' horn intermittently will not work. This is unsafe, cause horn may not work in an emergency situation, hich can result in an accident. Please provide more details. Ts.

While driving and an emergency situation occurs the horn actuator is diffcult to locate. Horn was actuated at lower portion of air bag coves. When wheel is turned, it was nearly impossible to locate this portion.
