SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR IN THE LATER PART OF 2012 (USED WITH 40000MI) I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS STARTING WITH THE RADIO, WHEN I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST THE RADIO WOULD GO TO COMPLETE STATIC ON ALL STATIONS. WHILE TRAVELING APPROX. 30MPH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON THEN AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND RESTARTING THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AS WELL AS MINIMAL TURNING TO THE RIGHT THE SERVICE ESC LIGHT WOULD DISPLAY, IN ADDITION TO THE REMOTE START NOT WORKING HALF THE TIME, I HAVE REPLACED THE KEY FOB AND GOTTEN A NEW KEY AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM EXIST. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE RADIO WITH A BRAND NEW PART AND STILL THE STATIONS ARE NOT CLEAR AND WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR PARKED ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH SOMETIMES COME ON FOR SERVICE AND THE CAR WOULD IDLE LOW THEN HIGH. THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH WILL SOMETIMES COMPLETELY DIM AND THE DISPLAY ON THE RADIO WILL BE DIGITAL. MY CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 65000 MILES ON IT, AND STILL THE CAR SOMETIMES STALLS AT STOP SIGNS, WILL BE WITHOUT POWER AND THE SERVICE ESC DISPLAYS AS WELL AS SERVICE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT AT THIS POINT. TUESDAY MAY 6 2014 MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING APPROX. 25MPH ALL THE LIGHTS IN DASH CAME ON AND ENGINE STALLED ON HIM SO HE RESTARTED THE CAR, UPON RESTARTING ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DISPLAY TURNED OFF. SATURDAY MAY 10 2014 THE RADIO WAS COMPLETE STATIC...THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE, I KEEP MY GAS TANK PLENTIFUL AND HAVE ONLY OWNED GM VEHICLES. I AM RESEARCHING OTHER MAKES AT THIS POINT. *TR

2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU WITH HORRIBLE SHIFTING - 1ST TO 2ND IS A HARD SHIFT AND 2ND - 3RD ISN'T A WHOLE LOT BETTER. WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS WHILE COMING TO A STOP IT AGAIN SHIFTS HARD AND SOMETIMES ABRUPTLY. THE RPM GAUGE ALSO FLARES WHEN SHIFTING DOWN. I HAVE BEEN JUTTED OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN IT DECIDES TO SLIP SHIFT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY. THE WORST PART IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANYTHING "WRONG" WITH IT OR TELL ME WHY IT DOES THIS BECAUSE THE POOR SHIFTING IS INTERMITTENT, NOT CONSTANT. NOT HAPPY! *TR

215V269000 · Seat Belts
May 8, 2015
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured April 8, 2010, to October 11, 2012. In the affected vehicles, the flexible steel cables that connect the seat belts to the vehicle at the outside of the driver seat and the front passenger seat may be bent from being sat on while entering the vehicle. This repeated bending may result in the cable breaking.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the cable breaks, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the outboard lap anchor mounting bracket and inspect the flexible steel cable, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 16, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 15031.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will attach the wiring harness to the BCM with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the BCM and harness connector and the BAS and harness connector, and will relearn the brake pedal home position, free of charge. The manufacturer distributed an Interim letter to customers on July 14, 2014. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (Pontiac), 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn). GM's number for this recall is 13036.
