2002 Chevrolet Malibu Exterior Lighting

2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU SEDAN 3.1 V-6 TURN SIGNAL WORK THEN THEY DON'T AT THIS TIME THEY ARE NOT WORKING .JUST CHECKED GOOGLE AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINT'S OF THE SAME ! *TR

MY 2002 CHEVY MALIBU HAS BAD SIGNAL LIGHTS. SOMETIMES THEY WORK SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. I SEE THERE IS A BULLETIN POSTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SO I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT AND I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THEM FIX IT. CAN YOU LOOK INTO THIS FOR ME? THE LAST 8 DIGITS OF THE VIN. THAT'S WHAT THEY ASKED FOR TO CHECK. THANKS. *TR

2002 MALIBU TURN SIGNAL WORK WHEN THEY WANT. HAVE TO HIT DASH BY HAZARD LIGHTS TO MAKE THEM WORK. HAVEN;T HAD A ACCIDENT YET ,BUT AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. BOUGHT THE CAR NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES. HORN ALSO HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN. ONLY HAVE 45,000 MILES ON MY CAR. I USED TO LOVE IT BUT NOW I AM AFRAID OF HAVING A WRECK AND EITHER DYING OR KILLING SOMEONE ELSE. CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THE PROBLEM CARS AND NOT JUST A FEW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT FOUND A RECALL FOR HER VEHICLE. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING, WHICH WAS THE SAME FAILURE THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING. THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 23,000.

THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS WORK INTERNITTANTLY ON THIS AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE HAZARD WARNING SWITCH WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC INDICATED THAT THE HAZARD SWITCH WIRE SHORTED OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE HAZARD LIGHTS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V327000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING: HAZARD: FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS: SWITCH RECALL). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,400 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,100. UPDATED 09/10/08 *BF UPDATED 09/10/08. *JB

TURN SIGNALS WORKED FINE UNTIL MID 2007, THEN THEY STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TO FIDDLE WITH THE HAZARD BUTTON TO GET THEM TO WORK, THEN THEY ONLY WORK FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE I HAVE TO FIDDLE WITH THE HAZARD BUTTON AGAIN. THIS FAILURE OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THAT IT IS VERY UNSAFE! NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, I AM TRYING TO WAIT FOR A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IF THAT DOESN'T COME SOON, I WILL HAVE TO REPAIR IT MYSELF AT MY COST! *TR

I HAVE A 2002 CHEVY MALIBU. IT HAS THE TURN SIGNAL/FLASHER PROBLEM THAT WAS COVERED IN PE05055. THE DEALER INSTALLED THE NEW FLASHER PER THE SERVICE LETTER BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. DEALER WANTS $94 TO DIAGNOSE THE REAL PROBLEM PLUS POSSIBLY HUNDREDS TO FIX IT. CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL I PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, EVEN THEN THEY WILL NOT GIVE ANY ASSURANCES. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. I THINK THAT YOU CLOSED YOUR INVESTIGATION PREMATURELY. *TR

TURN INDICATORS INTERMITTENTLY QUIT WORKING. *TR

I OWN A 2002 CHEVY MALIBU AND I AM EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE DASH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS "SMALL INTERMITTENT VOLTAGE BLEED FROM THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. NEEDS THE SWITCH REPLACED." ALTHOUGH I REFERRED THE TO THE DEFECT FOUND BY THE ODI, GM REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SWITCH AT NO COST BECAUSE THEIR INTERNAL POLICY IS THAT THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE HAZARD SWITCH. WHEN I SHOWED THAT THE REPORT LISTED THE COMPONENTS AS THE HAZARD SWITCH AND THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. THEY STILL DECLINED. THEY STATED THAT ALTHOUGH THE TWO EXHIBIT THE SAME SYMPTOMS, THEIR POLICY STATES THEY ONLY COVER THE HAZARD SWITCH ALONE. THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AT MY COST. THEN "IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, WHICH IT MAY, THEN REPLACE THE HAZARD SWITCH." WHICH AT THAT POINT, I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO REPLACE THE HAZARD SWITCH AT NO COST. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 55 MPH, THE CRUISE QUIT WITH NO WARNING AND THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. ALTHOUGH THE CRUISE HAS HAD NO PROBLEMS TO DATE, HAVE TO TAP (SOMETIMES BEAT) ON THE TOP OF THE DASH TO GET THE TURN SIGNALS WORKING AGAIN. HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS WHERE I HAD SOMEONE BEHIND ME - THE SIGNALS WOULD JUST STOP. SAW NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 03V327 BUT THAT RECALL WAS FOR 2000-2001 MALIBU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE HAZARD LIGHTS FAILED. THEY BEGAN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, BUT WERE BLINKING VERY FAST. CURRENTLY, THE HAZARD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V107000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS) AND INVESTIGATION NUMBER PE05055 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH EXTERIOR LIGHTING: TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH). THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 133,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. UPDATED 03/26/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER HAS REPLACED BULBS AND FUSES IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TURN SIGNAL MECHANISM FAILED. THE TURN SIGNAL HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT PLANS TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 68,961.

THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH MY HAZARD SWITCH AND BLINKERS ON MY CAR. THEY WORK BASICALLY WHEN THEY WANT TO. I HAD BROUGHT IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER OVER A YEAR AGO AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO. IT SEEMS AS IF ITS A DEFECT WITH THE CAR AND I'M NOT SURE BOUT FINDING OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. *TR

TURN SIGNALS AND HEADLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. HAVE HAD CAR THE DEALER - THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I FIND LOTS OF INFORMATION THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN MANY OF THESE CARS. *TR

HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE ADDITION OF THE 2002 MALIBU TO THE RECALL FOR TURNING LIGHT FAILURE BY DEALERSHIP AS OF THIS DATE .. EVEN AFTER I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP FOR AN ESTIMATE OF REPAIRS OR COVERAGE BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. *AK

HAZARD LIGHTS AND BLINKERS WILL QUIT WORKING OR NOT WORK AT ALL. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF THEN RESTART SO THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD ILLUMINATE. AS OF OCTOBER 9, 2007, THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,627 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000. UPDATED 10/23/07 *TR

TURN SIGNALS ON MY 2002 CHEVY MALIBU ONLY WORK OCCASIONALLY. I TRIED TO FIND A RECALL BUT THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAS A RECALL FOR CHEVY MALIBU'S UP TO THE YEAR 2001. I HAVE REPLACED THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AND THE IGNITION SWITCH STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. *JB

MY BLINKERS ON MY CHEVY MALIBU 2002 WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I NEED TO TURN THE BLINKER TO THE LEFT TO TURN ON MY CAR AS A SAFETY PROCEDURE INSTALLED BY THE PRODUCER. IT IS ALSO A PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN I DRIVE I HAVE TO CHANGE LANES AND EVEN THOUGH I TURN MY BLINKERS ON THEY DO NOT WORK SO I AM CUTTING PEOPLE OFF ALL THE TIME. I TRIED TAKING IT TO THE GM DEALERSHIP BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THAT KIND OF PROBLEM. IT IS GETTING VERY ANNOYING AND TODAY I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO TURN MY CAR ON WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET SOME MONEY FROM THE ATM. IT IS ANNOYING BECAUSE IF THE LEFT BLINKER DOES NOT TURN ON AND I START MY CAR IT DOES NOT START AND THE HORN SOUNDS. PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AT ME FUNNY BECAUSE THE HORN SOUNDED LIKE 30 TIMES. *JB

TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS WORK ONLY OCCASIONALLY. THERE IS NO SET TIME, EVENT, OR WEATHER CONDITION THAT MAKES THEM WORK, OR STOP WORKING. SOMETIMES, THEY WILL WORK WHEN I INITIALLY TURN THEM ON, AND STOP WORKING BEFORE THEY SHOULD TURN OFF. *NM

2002 MALIBU. TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD FLASHER FAILURE. *NM

TURN SIGNALS ON MY 2002 CHEVY MALIBU INTERMITTENT TO NOT WORKING FOR PERIODS OF TIME. UPON PUSHING THE HAZARD FLASHER BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES TURN SIGNALS EVENTUALLY WOULD WORK FOR AWHILE. CALLED DEALER TO SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WAS TOLD PARTS WOULD COST $31.00 AND TOTAL WITH LABOR WOULD BE $75.00. FOUND ON NHTSA WEB SITE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE05055 WHICH IS THE EXACT TURN SIGNAL PROBLEM. I RECEIVED NO NOTICE FROM GM AS STATED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE05055 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALER I CALLED FOR SERVICE. I FORWARDED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE05055. *NM

TURN SIGNAL BEGAN TO ONLY WORK OCCASIONALLY. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE EVERYTIME I DRIVE. MOST OF THE TIME, I AM DRIVING WITHOUT A TURN SIGNAL. *NM

TURN SIGNAL SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES DOESN'T, RADIO CUTS OFF, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS INCIDENT, TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL ON FILE FOR MY VIN NUMBER, DESPITE THE EXACT ISSUE, TURN SIGNAL CAUSING ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BEING WRITTEN ON THE SERVICE CARD. *NM
