My wife's 2000 chevrolet malibu started having an issue where her blinkers were intermittent. i found out that there was a recall for this problem for her model year and model, but when i called gm, i was told that her vin was not part of the recall. this was despite the fact that it did have the same exact problem of intermittent blinker activity. (recall 03v327000) so i went to my local dealership, paid the $30 for a new hazard switch (part num: 22594146), came home, took the bezel off her dash, replaced the switch, and the problem was fixed. there has been no problem since. i believe that gm should open the recall to include a greater amount of vehicles with this problem. i would at least like to get refunded for buying the new part, and i have the old part of that is needed.*ak

We unfortunately own a 2000 chevy malibu. we have already replaced the rotors several times for going out of round. we have also replaced the fuel pump at less then 50,000 miles at the cost of $728.00. the air conditioner pops on and off on its own not cooling for the most part. the turn signals are nonfunctional and our vin number is not included in the recall although it should be. then there is the transmission slipping and the coolant leaking and the car overheating we are told this is a manifold intake gasket and will cost around 800.00 to fix. the newest problem is the factory installed radio tuner is burned out and now we have to replace the radio costing yet another $100.00 dollars or so this car has nickel and dimed us too much. after looking over your site i found these to be numerous complaints on the same year and model. i feel this car was a lemon across the board not just ours but, all 2000 malibu's. please look into these cars on a whole they were very badly manufactured and we all deserve some compensation for it. *jb

The turn signals stop working for no reason.sometimes turning off the engine and restarting it can make them work again or pulling the bottle/can holder out can help. lately the fuel indicater and the a/c will not work when the car is started but may come on 2 or 3 blocks down the road. also the check engine and or the service auto light may come on. the fuses have been checked and do not appear to be damaged but sometimes rotating them will cause the part not working to start working again. i think there may be an electrial problem in the panel behind the fuses to the left of the steering wheel. this problem has been occuring with no apparent pattern except for the use of the bottle/can holder.*ak

I just had to have my driver's side rear tail light assembly replaced. i had to pay for it myself. the chevrolet malibu 2000 tail light leaked allowing water to enter the light. i do not believe i am the only one who has encountered this problem. there has been no help from manugacturer to pay for this replacement.

I own a 2000 chevrolet malibu and i am having the same problems with my turn signals as many others are as well. gm had a recall on the 2000 malibu but told me that my vehicle was not required to recieve a recall based on the vin number but they would fix it for a fee. i think gm should fix mine since they already addressed the problem and it sounds sounds the same as the recall. i think this is a very serious problem that is very dangerous. *ak
