2010 Chevrolet Malibu Engine cooling Problems

“We just leased a chevy Malibu from east hills Chevrolet at 1039 northern blvd. Roslyn,n.y.11576. Within 2 days the new 2010 vehicle stalled on the long island expwy and could not be re-started. The nassau county police called a tow truck to the scene and towed it back to the dealer.after two [2] days we received a call from the service mgr. …”

“The vehicle is a 2010 chevy Malibu. I bought the vehicle brand new and it now has 758 mile on it. It stalls while doing speeds above 25 miles per hour. The steering becomes dificult, the brakes become less than efficient and it happens without warning. Every time this issue has happened it was above 90 degrees outside. It happened 4 times in 758 miles. They are looking at it at the dealership now and I have 2 other aquaintences that have the same car with the same issues.”

“Sometime around 70,000 mile when we would crank up the car we would hear a loud exhaust noise. After the car warmed up, the noise would go away. We took it into the local dealer and they said it was normal. We have also had engine running problems since early 2013. We now have over 106,000 miles on it and a local muffler repair shop diagnosed the noise as a cracked exhaust manifold. After checking with the local dealer, they stated that there have replaced several manifolds on various year model Malibu's. However, we are over the mileage warranty. …”

“I have several complaints about this car that I believe to be manufacturer defects. The most serious issue I found today (4/19/2014) when I smelled gas outside of my car. Upon looking underneath my car I found my gas tank leaking onto my exhaust pipe. I consider this to be a recall issue because there is absolutely no damage to the undercarriage of my car. One of the other serious issues I have found with my car include a brake light issue. My car was occasionally showing a service traction/ ESC error code, which could not be explained by any mechanic or even a chevy dealership themselves. …”

“2010 chevy Malibu ltz v6 3.6l has hard gear shift up and down around 15 MPH, 35 MPH, 50 MPH, more noticeably at 15 and 35 MPH. This problem, so I assume, also causes the car to accelerate on its own after braking and letting off of the brake to coast around these speeds. When attempting to accelerate the vehicle hesitates and then lurches forward into gear. I'm afraid this may cause a rear end collision. Vehicle has been taken to dealership multiple times to investigate/repair problem. Dealership and GM claim this is normal performance for this vehicle.”
