| Driving 65 mph on interstate and service esc and all other lights came on and engine died. i had to maneuver 3 lanes to the right in rush hour to get to the breakdown lane without power steering. faulty alternator ruled to be at fault. no warning that morning prior to event. two days before the battery light stayed on a little longer (5 minutes) than usual and then went off. it never came on again to warn of something wrong. i called chevrolet and the customer service was indifferent so i filed a complaint with my state's bbb as this is the third, and most severe issue, i have had with this car and i have not had it two years quite yet. i did receive a call back from gm. they are working on their response to this life threatening event as well as the other problems, which were the exhaust solenoid died ( service engine light came on) and the driver's side door handle covering came off exposing the sharp metal it is made of). | |||

| This is a general complaint on just about all new cars including mine. namely the head rest in the front and rear seats block the rear view by at least 50% and contribute to accidents especially when baciking up. the head rests are too high and wide. at a recent defensive driving course i attened the police officer giving the course said 30% of all accidents involve people backing up. i can appreciate that as the rear view is blocked as in some of the side view. i think the head rests should be smaller and that is my complaint. *bf | |||

| As i was driving about 30mph on a suburban rd. the malibu jerked a couple of times then the (service esc) light came on along with other lights and the car stopped moving. it also had a (car locked) symbol lit on the dash. there have been other similar complaints and there is no excuse for this. we pay good money to drive a new car so we don't have breakdowns, not to mention the possibilities of getting hit when this fault occurs maybe even being taken out of the population. | |||

| The problem i am experiencing with my 2011 chevrolet malibu ltz is a metallic rattle coming from the rear end of the vehicle when driving over uneven roads. i purchased the vehicle new on august 24, 2010. the very next day after purchasing the vehicle i began having trouble with the metallic rattle. i took my vehicle back to the dealer for repairs on august 30, august 31, september 17, september 30 (2 days) and october 7, 2010 but, to date, the dealership has been unable to correct the problem. at this point in time the service advisor told me | |||
