Consumer Description
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RANDOM PROGRESSING FAILURE IN WHICH THE KEY MOVED OUT OF POSITION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO ABLE TO START WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE FUEL GAUGE ALSO FAILED TO PROVIDE A PROPER READING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND THE BULBS CONSTANTLY SHORTED OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V400000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) YEARS AFTER EXPERIENCING THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THERE WAS NO PERMANENT REPAIR FOR THE CONDITION. THE FAILURES CONTINUED, INCLUDING VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.
