This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
38K mile 2006 Chevy Malibu V-6-car shakes/vibrates/shimmies. It also rattles and clunks underneath at all speeds, feels like the bottom is falling out. Dealer refuses to acknowledge a minimum of 7 complaints. Headlights lenses are loose and the lights shake all over the place. Dealer did finally acknowledge headlight issue after the 4th complaint and I was told it is a GM problem but they have no fix and there is nothing they can do. Now that the warranty is up, they are acknowledging all previous complaints (many more than just the couple I listed here) but at my expense when these issues S/H/B taken care of at the time of the original and numerous complaints.
Heard a clunking noise when turning left or right. Bulletin said to lube steering so they did. Having same problem 4 months later, called another dealer, says there is a bulletin to replace drive shaft. Also had catalytic converter replaced when vibration started when first accelerating till about 20mph, then cooling drain plug melted from the heat of the converter and poured water onto passenger front floor they fixed that very disappointed in this car(but love the price and mileage).
