Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
1. A known about the recall for the power steering to go out. This was repaired as a recall a in 2014. It was replaced at no charge. In the last year the same thing happened again. I was charged over $1400 for repair at the dealership. Why was this not covered as well. Same part. Same problem a second time. ? 2. Also, cruise control has gone out over a year ago. No one told me there was a recall. I did not get it fixed due to cost.
The rack and pinion went out when making left turns in city setting. Steering wheel turned but wheels did not. Felt a jumping in the wheel. Gears in rack were stripped when making a hard left turn. Steering wheel spun 3/4 and ruined air bag and no cruise control. Ive had to get a new rack and pinion.
When driving my steering wheel would become hard to turn as if I don't have any power steering fluid while driving the car... And the odometer will stop working and then go up and down my drive control lights will stop working and below where the odometer is the numbers will turn into saying error then my car will not crank please help me with this problem
Immediately after purchasing my 2004 chevy malibu (used from a dealer) I noticed the cruise control wouldn't engage most of the time. The light on the button turns on (yellow), but the cruise control doesn't set or engage. Now it rarely works.
I bought the car last april 2016. Shortly after my cruise control was hard to turn on, had to keep hitting the button. So the dealership said it was the switch and replaced it free of charge. Now it's aug 2017 and the cruise control sometimes turns on and when it does it only stays on maybe 10 min or less and then kills on its own! The speed drops quickly and this is unexpected and can be dangerous. This happened while I was driving on the highway. I specifically bought a car with cruise control, I love it, need it and use it regulary.
Power steering repeatedly goes out while driving. Blinkers only work sometimes. Cruise control does not engage. I lost power steering going down a busy highway.
"takata recall" my 2004 malibu does not have working cruise control , my wiring is barely working as in my locks won't work , my heat we only blows cold air on defrost my defrost barely clears my windows , my t\c light is the only light that stays on all the time and I barely have traction while driving if I'm trying to accelerate getting on the highway my wheel will lock or barely move and I have to let completely off the gas to free the wheel I get any alerts on my speedometer.
Upon driving the vehicle it made 3 ringing noises and then on the dashboard it said eng pwr reduced. The car then went from 60 to about 30 MPH instantly, I pushed my foot entirely to the floor an the car still wouldn't speed up. It has happened numerous times at least 40 in the past few years. No dealer can pin point what it is that's wrong. Shut the car off and start it up and its fine again. Other than the check engine light still on.
2004 chevrolet malibu. Customer states that he has received three recall notices for vehicle in june 2014 and july 2014. All three noticed indicated the parts are not available and hasn't heard any response since.
