Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I arrived at work and was told by coworkers that my brake lights were still on. They would not shut off. I removed the negative battery terminal to avoid draining my battery. On the drive home, after reconnecting battery, I discovered my cruise control was not working either. I saw on the internet a recall (GM 13036) that covered this exact problem on several models including the malibu which my car nearly identical to. Unfortunately it does not cover my model and it should! Clearly this is a widespread issue and 2005 Classic should be included. …”
