Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I HAVE A 2008 MALIBU LTZ AND FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS WHEN I SHUT
OFF THE ENGINE I GET OUT OF THE CAR AND THE FAN IS STILL RUNNING.
IT SHUTS OFF AFTER ABOUT 5 MINS. COULD THIS BE ELECTRICAL?

YES IT IS AND THAT IS JUST WORDERFULL....JUST WHAT IT IS SUSPOSSED TO DO..
AS SUMMER COMES ON, IT MAY EVEN STAY ON LONGER...WHEN COOLER, LESS
I CAN ADJUST ALL MINE FOR WHEN (IT HITS A CERTAIN TEMP LIKE 180o) AND WHEN I WANT IT TO TURN OFF SAY 120o..
THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD GOES FROM DIM TO BRIGHT. IS THIS ANOTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE? IS IT WORTH IT TO GET FIXED OR JUST TRADE IT IN?
THE FAN NEVER DID THIS BEFORE NOT EVER ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST RUNS. DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT.
I also have a 2008 and just this week the fan kept running for few minutes after car turned off. Only happens if I have driven at least an hour. Never before has this happened, so is this normal?
My 2008 malibu has just started doing this also, the fans runs when car turned off and also started leaking anti-freeze?
I have a 2013 Malibu and this just started happening to me but sometimes it actually sounds like the car is still running and I get back in start it back up and and turn it off and it stops, other times it's just a light fan sound and goes off in about a minute....never did this before and I live in FL
I have 2013 Malibu, and mine is making the same sound. Did you fixe it or still the same? What was the issues?

i have a 2013 malibu also and the fan turns on as soon as i turn the car on and will run for about 5 mins when the car is turned off, no matter how long you were driving it. it also says a/c off due to high engine temperature on the dash. The engine temperature gauge also does not work and i think this could be why my fan runs all the time?
