I bought a 2005 Malibu LT (75,000 mi.) a couple weeks ago and am still settling into it. I like it very much so far. But I've noticed a few electrical oddities.

I've unlocked the doors, got in and sat in the driver's seat, and before I could get the key in, the horn beeped 3 times. I had already turned off the "Unlock Horn" option in the menu. I don't like a car doing anything I don't tell it to do. I went thru the info menu again and made sure it was turned off. It did it once after that.

I also had the horn beep once at an unexpected time, I don't remember the exact circumstances, but I had already gone thru the menu and turned off all the automatic horn options.

Today I got to the grocery store, shut off the car and removed the key, and the trunk popped open! Weird.

Where do I start to see if I can get this weird stuff under control?

Thanks.

 

I understand that it isn't always an option, but if you were to choose to visit your servicing dealership to get these electrical concerns looked into, please let us know as we're available to be of any assistance we can be.

Also, if you would like for us to check to see if there are any open recalls on your Malibu, we can do so if you would send us the last 8 digits of your VIN.

All the best,
