2000 Chevrolet Malibu lights complaints
Page 8 of 9: complaints 191 to 220 of 241, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The turn signal lights operate intermittently. *ak the dealer was contacted but they said they would do nothing as there was no formal recall at this time, so the consumer was giving a file number and was told that they would have to get repairs on their own. The consumer went and got the car repaired for $67.38 from a service dealer. *cb
Turn signals are inoperative, causing the vehicle not to have appropriate turning or changing lane functions. Turn signals make other drivers aware of consumer's direction.*ak after having the repair done for a total of $137.88 two weeks later a recall was issued for the malibu, the dealer checked the consumers VIN and found that it was not included in the recall. So they refused to reimburse the consumers repair bill. *cb
Hazard lights and turning lights work intermittently, and as a result have nearly caused several accidents on the highway changing lanes; levels 1 and 2 for the blower for heat/air stopped working; had to replace the brake pads and rotors in the front at 26,000 miles.
Failure of blinkers. Suddenly when driving down the road, I turned on my turn signal and it would not work. It is still not working. All it does is produce a high pitched buzz inside of my automobile. Luckily I live in a low traffic area and was not struck.
Vehicle is experiencing a problem with the turn signals operating poorely. There is a recall on turn signal; however, this vehicle is not included under the recall because it fails to meet the manufacturing date by 5 months although it is experiencing the same problems.
The turn signals and hazard flashers on my 2000 chevy malibu only work intermittently. Often times they will not work at all, or they will stop working in the middle of a turn. They will flash once or twice and quit working; in addition, they will work for a moment then quit working then begin working again. Also, rarest of all, they will work fine. There is a recall on the turn signals and hazard flashers for the same make, model, and year; however, gm has told me that it does not cover my vehicle. Obviously, the problem that I am experiencing is the same or similar to the problems experienced in covered vehicles (if, in fact, mine is not a covered vehicle). This has been happening for several months without an obvious cause. There are no conditions which made my car immune from this problem, but it happens less when I run the air conditioner.
Consumer noticed turn signal flasher froze, causing a buzzing sound.
The turn signals don't work sometimes. *ak the turn signals also failed in (december 01) when the vehicle had less than 36k miles. The dealer repaired the problem, however, the problem remained. The second time the problem occurred the dealer would not agree to repair the problem. *scc
Vehicle has the same hazard warning switch defect as stated in recall 03 v 327 000. The manufacturer's notification is due to begin in 2004.
Hazzard lights and turn signals work intermintently based on climate.
I have a 2000 chevy malibu. I am having problems with my blinkers working intermittently. I have scheduled an appointment to take it in. When the blinkers are not working I have realized my hazard light also do not work. We changed the fuse and they work for 3 weeks straight but now I am back to one turn thye work the next they dont.
Air conditioner switch turns on and off. Vibration in front end when braking. Turn signals work intermitently. Ticking noise in engine until warm. Windows fog excessively. Shame on chevrolet.
Turning signals work intermittently.how long is going to take to get a recall ? Does chevrolet want people to die first ??
Engine overheating, also the turn signals are erratic, when they do not work I have to turn my emergency flashers on, then off, and the turn signals work then. As far as the overheating goes, I took it in for repair (over $350.00) they said they found water in the oil and replaced head gasket. It still is not fixed. This car has 45,000 miles.
Exterior lighting:hazard flashing warning lights.
When you go to turn on the turn signals they do not work. They will work one minute and not the next. At times you have to turn on the four way flashers to get the signal to work and at times this does not alway help. I have had several near rear end misses because of this. It's a safety hazard!
Numerous problems: brakes made noise when applied, vehicle jerked when at a complete stop,the vehicle shut down on the consumer three times, it started loud and hard, bounced while being driven and a bolt fell off from under the passenger seat, however the dealer stated the bolt did not belong to the vehicle. *ph also the rear passenger window was inoperative, and the battery was weak.
The consumer stated that the hazard signal lights works intermittently.
My turn signals work intermittently had them repaired by the dealer in dec 01 and they failed again may 03 .
Turn signals quit working and required servicing by the dealer.
Intermittently while driving vehicle's hazard/turning signals lights fail to operate.
The hazard and turn signal lights were inoperative.
The tail light assembly developed excessive condensation due to water entering the sealed assembly, and caused them to fail.
I too, have many of the problems that other malibu owners have. My turn signals work intermittently, the brakes have been replaced 2x, in addition to rotors, etc. The battery blew up, but was replaced as was the AC turning off and on by itself. The one issue that is very concerning to me, is one familiar to you. My car cuts off at anytime while driving. It has done this to me on 2 separate occasions. Nashville has 3 interstates running through it and I was on them both times this happened. It was very scary and dangerous. It is out of warranty and the shops that I have taken it to cannot replicate the problem. The mechanics at then shops told me that malibu's are by far some of the most troublesome cars on the road today. Someone is going to be killed. You lose control and have no steering ability, what does it take to fix the problem. I can see from others that their problems are being ignored as well. When will gm acknowledge the problem. Don't they watch the news and see what happened with the firestone recall, or the tobacco companies that kept secrets? It is time for someone to be responsible for their product.
The turn signals did not work properly. The dealer fixed the problem twice, however the problem recurred.
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
Hazard and signal lights malfunctions engine noise (constant squeaking or ticking) air conditioning malfunctions.
