2000 Chevrolet Malibu lights complaints
Page 9 of 9: complaints 221 to 241 of 241, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Turn signals continue to fail and so does the emergency flashers on a daily basis. They just don't come on at all or some times they come on and then flash once and then they stop very dangerous. Dt
Consumer states that the turning signal and emergency lights on the vehicle will intermittenly work. Contacted dealer please provide further information. Mr
Signal lights stopped working, brakes started vibrating and transmission is slipping. Mr
This will be the 4th time to take vehicle in for turn signal problems. I have to use my hazards to get my turn signal to work. Now neither one of them work. The first time I took it in they told me there was no way my hazards would make my turn signal work. This car is a piece of expensive junk. Not to mention the brakes have been replaced also.
Turn signals work intermittently.*ak consumer also states that the hazard lights do not work as well, the vehicle has also experienced a flat tire.
Consumer states that tires experience abnormal tire wear and are noisy, firestone affinity. Dealer replaced left front bearing and hub assembly. They also tightened front control arm. The tires have been rotated, however noise continues and tires continue to wear, possible suspension problem. *slc
Turn signals go out intermittently. Vehicle has not been examined by dealer.
Consumer states the turn signals are not working properly in the vehicle, after about a week, every one or two days they will work one time and then the next day they will not work, the dealer has been unable to duplicate the consumers concern.
Turn signal performs erraticly going on/off while in use at various times. Dealership instructed owner to use hazard lights until part is replaced. Currently, hazard lights are inoperative. Please describe details.
Ac automatically turns itself off switch replaces. Whining sound occurs during AC/heat fan operation fan motor replaced. Ac/heat directional controls work intermittently problem continues. Transmission slipping upon slow acceleration reported 3 times 1st & 2nd times couldn't duplicate problem 3rd time in shop 30 days replaced multiple components. Engine misfiring diagnostics indicated 3,6,2,5 cylinders misfiring replaced all ignition coil packs problem continues. Turn signal buzzes and clicks hazard switch replaced. Air leak around passenger side door reported 2 times 1st time couldn't duplicate 2nd time door realigned. Brakes cause excessive vibrations upon stopping rotors and pads replaced at 24000 miles reoccuring at 38000 miles.
I have also had a front end alignment, replaced emergency lights, suspension fixed, all in less than 2 years of owning the vehicle. The brakes are still not working correctly.
The brakes don't stop properly. The brakes have been changed 3 times. The rotors have been turned once and changed once. The blinkers don't work 95% of the time and the emergency flashers never work properly. The AC settings change on their own as you are driving the car. This causes the compressor to turn on and off, eventually causing premature compressor failure. The vehicle has died 4 times as we were driving down the road, once almost getting us killed as we were turning in front of a truck. Also, the brakes have almost caused us to be in a wreck. We have almost been rear ended because of the turn signal failure. The manufacturer and the dealership has had many times to fix this vehicle with no success. To this point, we have not been involved in a motor vehicle accident. However, is it going to take me or my family being killed to get something done with this vehicle?
Turn signals are occasionally not working. When they do work, all bulbs are functional. My wife first reported this to me the other day that they didn't function when she tried to use the turn signal from a stop sign. When I drove the vehicle, the turn signals appeared to function fine at first, then they failed to work when making a lane change. I then tried the emergency flashers momentarily, then the turn signals were functioning again after that time. There must be some sort of switch problem somewhere. I did not get an owners manual with the vehicle, so my investigation is limited to looking at the fuses in the fuse box.
Brakes failed for the 2nd time accident occurred have not had car for 3 weeks, have been waiting for gm to send inspector. Car is out of service for more than 15 days and gm has exhausted the time limit for action. I do not want this "death trap" (car) back. I also want to be credited for lease payments. I should not have to pay for manufacturer defects.

I bought my 2000 malibu brand new in september 1999.... My engine was pinging and making all kinds of noise, even when warm.... Brakes are very hazardous to public safety... I have been to the dealer numerious times for rotor and pad replacements and even gm's so called new thicker and improved rotors they installed on my car was just as bad as all the other ones ... I almost lost control of my car when I was traveling 65 miles per hour on our local highway when I was almost had a wreck due to complete failure of my brakes... My car vibrated so badly and did not slow down...at all!!....I thought I had 2 front tire blowouts... I pulled over on the expressway and my tires were fine it was my brakes...... I went straight to a local autozone and purchased new rotors and pads....gm needs to issue a recall asap before someone gets seriously injured or killed!......I have called gm and made a complaint and was told no recalls were made..... Another issue im having is it takes 3 or 4 times to get my car started ... Not sure why my car is having all of these problems but it is at a local gm dealership as I type this .......I hope they will be able to fix the noise from the engine and my cd player that goes in and out of power and sometimes wont release my cd's .... I have given up on gm brakes.
The vehicle experienced excessive brake shimmy due to warped rotors, also the front brake pads have uneven wear. Nlm
Engine kept knocking and the first dealer said they didn't have time to look at it , they put a new engine in but still having problems, the brakes have been replaced (rotors and pads) 2 times and still are not right, the car would not go from park to reverse on 2 occasions, I have had lights not working, door latches broken.
If the headlights go off at night during the driving, accident could happen.
Turning signals and flashers have been fixed. They want me to bring the car in on monday so they can replace the pistons. I think they should give me another car.
