We got up this morning, went to get into our car and as i tried to unlock it i noticed my keyless entry would not unlock the door. I asked my boyfriend if his was working, and his wouldn't open the car either. So i unlocked the door manually and no alarm sounded. The dash didn't light up as it usually does either. I tried starting my car, the idiot lights came on as did my stereo, but the car never tried to turn…

I went to open my front, driver's side door (from the outside) and it would not open. I climbed through the passenger front and tried to open the driver's door from the inside...it still would not open. Using the palm of my hand, i bumped the effected door on the outside door panel, by the handle and it opened. I lubed the inside door catch area as much as i could and it seemed ok. 48 hours later, i was having the…

Now the vehicle drives but revs at 2-3 gear and then just slows down, there were 13 fault…

It first started on june 8th i went to the store and when i came out i unlocked my door with the key but the door wouldn't open from the inside or outside on the driver side. It appeared as if the latch weren't latching on in the inside of the door panel. I called around and finally someone was able to get me in by prying into my door and pressing the unlock button to unlock the other side. I climbed in for three…

2010 malibu experiences fluctuations in power/ rpms when trying to accelerate. I have taken the vehicle to get looked at severals times, but mechanic could not get the car to replicate issue. Not sure if its related to the fuel system, transmission, or motor. Either way, no one can diagnose this problem. When issue occurs, the vehicle acts sluggish (does not want to go) and bounces between 2 & 3 on my rpm gauge.…

The transmission failed on this vehicle. Iaw gm doc# 2894053 technical bulletin this is caused by a broken 3-5-r apply (waved) plate (507). The mechanic stated this plate is too thin for these vehicles and when they break down, they totally destroy a good transmission and the driver will never know until the vehicle is powering down to safe mode (going from 65 to 40 in less then a minute) and there is no reverse.…

I was on my way home from work and watched my stability control and traction warning lights come on. I contacted gm and was told that no replacement parts are available. Gm also stated that they are not responsible for towing or a rental even though it is a defect in the design and/or…

First occurrence i was driving down the road and my warning lights came on for esc off, service traction control, service esc at 50 mph. At first it would only come on once every couple weeks but now it comes on almost every time i drive it. It varies (speed doesn't matter) whether or not going down the highway or stopping in a driveway when it comes on but warning lights will come on when you touch the brakes. I…
