Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WE'D ONLY OWNED THE CAR ABOUT 2 YEARS (WE BOUGHT IT ONE YEAR USED) WHEN THE A/C STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. AT FIRST IT ONLY WORKED ON LEVEL THREE OR HIGHER, THEN IT QUIT BLOWING COLD AIR. TO GET TO BLOW COLD AIR CURRENTLY, WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PROMPT IT BY PUSHING A BUTTON. WE HAD THE FREON REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. OUR MECHANIC SAID IT SEEMED TO BE A DEFAULT WITH OTHER CHEVYS, ESPECIALLY MALIBUS AND ESPECIALLY ONES MADE AROUND THAT YEAR. I KNOW TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN MALIBUS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE'D LIKE TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET IT FIXED AT GM'S COST. IN ADDITION, MY HUSBAND WORKS FOR A GM FINANCING COMPANY.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
