This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The rear tail lights on my Chevrolet Malibu are about to burn I can smell a bakalite smell when I open the trunk. I have been going to maroone Chevy in pembroke pines saw the service rep ( mandy ramos ) complainng to him since 2000 and he said that there was no recalls on the lights. Ifound out that General Motors filed a confidentiality report and that way GM did not repair the lights. I disabled person and when I bought the car I knew that it had to last a long time. Now I am fearful of it catching on fire. It cost me $ $25,000 to buy and GM has the nerve to keep ontelling me for the past 5 years that there is nothing that can be done. It could have been done back in 2000 when they requested the confidentiality agreement being approved, they knew that they had this problem. The report is EA00010 I found this out today online. The cost of the pair of lights is $ $500. Tell me where I can get this kind of money on disability. The government is good at hiding things. Maybe they can find out how I can come up with the money before I get burned alive as I am disabled.
. I bought car new. The rotors, calipers and brake pads on this car have been replaced 4 times. The passenger side tail lights have had to be replaced every year due to water getting into the assembly. The ac switch - blower resistor has had to be replaced. The first time I replaced the rotors - it only had 5000 miles on it. It has 61000 today.
The tail lights failed to work properly when applied. The light bulbs were changed by the driver on several occasions. However, problem recurred and had not been resolved. Driver took vehicle to the dealer, but mechanic could not duplicate the problem.
Multiple tail lamp failures on my 1999 Chevrolet Malibu. I have replaced more tail lamps than I can remember. While replacing them the last time I noticed that the place where you plug in the lamp was starting to melt. I think this is a hazard. The lamps are not burned out when I have to replace them. They just don't make contact with the contacts after a while. I have to put new ones in to get them to work again. This last time I almost couldn't get one to work.
Water was leaking inside of the tail lights, causing the bulb to short out. Dealer was notified, and informed the consumer that it was not covered under a recall.
The tail and brake lights were inoperative, the dealer stated some type of lubricant was to be used to prevent over heating, however consumer never received any notice in the mail regarding the issue.......
Consumer has replaced pads/calipers and rotors 3 times, and getting ready to replace them again. Vehicle was shaking/shuttering and grinding when brakes were applied. Chevrolet dealer didn't seem to think it was a problem. It was no reason for them to be replaced this close together. Manufacturer could only say there was no recall, and until then they have no obligation. The tail lamp failed. Right rear door sometimes won't open from inside and difficult to open from outside. Consumer demand a refund of the full purchase price of the vehicle or a comparable vehicle.
