Car randomly losses power at any speed. During this time, i am unable to control the car. The power steering is off. This happened to my wife as she made a left turn on a green light on bell road, az (a busy road). There is no way that this should be taken lightly.

When fan is on there is a loud knocking noise. Chevrolet dealership informed me that my air compressor is bad. This will also affect the ability to defrost the windshield.

In the last year, i had to replace, at my own expense, 3 out of the 4 wheel bearing hub assemblies on my 2013 chevrolet malibu. There is also a terrible toxic smell coming from the air conditioning and heating vents attributed to the car's evaporator core. Chevrolet has acknowledged these problems, but refuses to make the repairs at their own expense. These issues have never occurred in any vehicle i have ever owned…

Metal plating on the passenger door handle peeling off and is extremely sharp. Have had 2 people slice their hands/fingers on the door, resulting in a painful "paper-cut" like injury. Research on the internet suggests this has been an issue for gm vehicles in the past. Car is 2 years old and shouldn't be falling apart.

I bought a new 2013 chevy malibu in december, 2012. Since then, the car has been recalled four times for four different possible malfunctions. It is unconscionable that the car manufacturer would release a vehicle that was recalled no less than four times in little over two years due to their mistakes. What recourse does a consumer have for lost time from work, lost productivity, wasted hours and the inconvenience…
