2009 Chevrolet Malibu structure problems

“MY TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND STOPS MY WHOLE CAR AND DRIVE EXTREMELY SLOW AND MY WHOLE JUST MESSED UP AND I NEED IT FIXED ASAP I CAN'T EVEN GET TO WORK WITHOUT MY CAR MESSING UP”

“POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT RANDOM MOMENTS IT COULD BE 1 MILE OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE OR 1000 MILES OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN OR IF THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO THE SHOP AND I'M SURE IF THERE IS A SURVEY THESE VEHICLE HAVE MORE OWNERS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS DEFECT IS SO DIFFICULT TO DETECT AND THEY ARE SOLD OFF WHEN DETECTED. BUT THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GETS EXTREMELY HARD DRIVING (CUTS OFF) AT HIGH SPEEDS. SOMEONE COULD CRASH AND GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR POTENTIALLY DIE. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFTY RECALL NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND SHOULD BE REOPENED BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE WOULD GO GET THIER CAR FIXED IF YOU TELL THEM THIER SAFETY IS AT STAKE. AND ALSO THE DOORS GET LOCKED SHUTT RENDERING PASSENGERS OR DRIVERS LOCKED AND UNABLE TO ESCAPE IF DANGER IS IMMANENT.”

“THE DOORS ON MY 2009 CHEVY MALIBU DO NOT OPEN NO MATTER WHAT I DO WITH THE LOCKS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEM HAS GONE ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST YEAR AND SOMETIMES THEY WON'T WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY WILL WORK. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THINK IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE”

“TRAVELING EAST TURNING LEFT GOING 17 MPH, STRUCK BY A VAN GOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH IS 50 HEAD ON, DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, PASSENGER AIRBAG DID NOT. PASSENGER IS 5'4' AND 120 LBS”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE OF THE DOOR HANDLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.”

“I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE LATCHES ON MY DOORS. IT STARTED WITH MY PASSENGER FRONT DOOR. I WOULD CLOSE THE DOOR AND IT WOULD POP OPEN A LITTLE AND WOULDN'T CLOSE. AFTER A FEW TRIES IT CLOSED BUT THIS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. EVENTUALLY IT CLOSED PERMANENTLY AND NOW WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. IT IS A SAFETY HAZZARD THAT THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED. THIS IS NOW BEGINNING TO HAPPEN WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR, WHERE WHEN I CLOSE IT AND IT WON'T STAY CLOSED, I HAVE TO HOLD IT WHILE DRIVING ON OCCASION. THEN IT WILL SHUT AND WORK AND THEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE TO DRIVE AND HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED AND I CANNOT IMAGINE HAVING TWO FRONT DOORS THAT WON'T OPEN. THIS REALLY HAS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.”
