2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU Electrical System Problems

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that under previous vehicle ownership, the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V252000 (Electrical System, Exterior Lighting, Vehicle Speed Control, Electronic Stability Control (ESC); however, the recall repair failed to prevent a failure. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the rear brake light failed to illuminate as intended; however, when the brake pedal was released, the brake lights would illuminate. No warning lights were illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 270,000.

Mileage: 270,000

Power Steering Randomly Goes off taking the Traction Control with it. Terrible for the snow roads to have. Have to life the steering wheel slightly when starting to the car get it to work. Steering Angle Sensor or Torque Position Sensor Maybe??

I lost power steering while driving, making the wheel hard to turn. While the car is idle, the steering wheel shakes. Also “ESC” pops on on the dashboard.

The car will drive but is unable to turn. It's like the steering wheel is locked.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact had been informed by other drivers that the brake lights failed to illuminate as intended while driving. Additionally, the contact stated that the brake lights randomly illuminated while driving. The traction control warning light was illuminated intermittently, causing the cruise control to become inoperable. The contact stated that as an independent mechanic, he had replaced the brake sensors twice; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V252000 (Electrical System, Exterior Lighting, Vehicle Speed Control, Electronic Stability Control (ESC); however, the failure persisted. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure might be related to the brake sensors. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Mileage: 140,000

Steering not working correctly it is ver hard to turn steering wheel. Cluster lights went out so dashboard lights do not work, brake lights not working seems to be electrical problems with the vehicle

This is in reference to GM Recall Number: 13036 - I noticed that from time to time the service traction warning comes on, service esc warning comes on, my cruise control stops working suddenly. I didn't think anything of it until I finally noticed my brake lights were illuminated in my back window without my foot being on the brake pedal. I replaced the sensor on the brake pedal hoping that would fix it and it did not. I looked up my VIN for active recalls and for some reason it's saying there are none. This is clearly the recall that is listed. I'm worried I'll be driving and someone may either rear end me or get confused thinking I'm braking when I am not. Very unsafe. I'm just unsure what to do. Any help would be appreciated as I need a vehicle and can't be without one.

The July 14, 2014 recall (13036) describes the issue perfectly. Brake lights come on when gas is pressed, goes off when brake pedal is pressed (very dangerous). Airbag, motor & traction control lights come on, message center says “ESC” “traction control”. We have had the car on multiple diagnostic tools saying it’s the module and the electrical isn’t communicating with the module… according to the recall, it is EXACTLY what is happening. We bought the car recently for our NEW driver not knowing and after HOURS of research and going to mechanics it seems to be the SAME recall but this car/VIN is not included in the recall. My child is going to get rear ended because nothing is fixing the issue and this vin doesn’t have any “recalls”

I have replaced my transmission in 2019. Car still has transmission problems. I’ve replaced my passenger headlight and lamp but the light still won’t work. My brake lights or back blinkers don’t work even after changing the fuses. Tire pressure light won’t go off. I have had this car since 2010..

THE PASSANGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE RADIO LIGHTS UP BUT NO SOUND FOR RADIO OR TURN SIGNALS.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the instrument cluster went blank and became inoperable. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Mileage: 50,000

My 2010 Chevy Malibu randomly started having electrical problems a few weeks ago. My gauge cluster lights will not turn on and I cannot see my blinkers or other information I need in the gauge cluster. The gauge cluster lights wont come on so I cannot see how fast i am going at night. The brake lights illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed. The car is difficult to get out of park. After researching the problems I found that GM has issued recalls for the BCM on Chevrolet Malibus recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012. I then contacted my local chevy dealership and they told me my vehicles VIN does not fall under the recall they issued so I would have to pay to have the problems addressed. I explained to the dealership that this is a well known issue and how unsafe that it is and they then told me “There is nothing we do about it.”. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle and I feel that these issues that it is having will put my life at risk and others because these malfunctions will obviously increase the risk of a crash. I feel that it is wrong to have a customer pay for repairs on a part of a vehicle that has recalls and is a crucial safety component.

My airbag light just recently came on driver frontal airbag may explode NHTSA-19001900 Power steering NHTSA- 14E044000 u joint premature failure Electrical system all out of wack NHSTA-14V252000 bcm resistance result in voltage fluctuations in brake Power train- NHTSA 12V460000 4 speed automatic transmission the tabs on transmission shift cable end may fracture and separate

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the engine / it stopped while I was driving / dealer charged me $2000 for a replacement engine, then after that my Power steering gave out , My ESC turns off and on / car jumps while driving my whole dashboard goes crazy How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the car stopped while i was driving multiple times , my kids were in the car for 2 of them, it stops with out warning. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes the Used car dealership i bought it from is well aware and basically not helping at all Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no , no warnings signs came on until after the engine was changed and they go on and off

I submitted a complaint regarding traction service/escape alerts at any given time of my 2010 Chevolet Malibu and have not received an acknowledgment of my complaint. Therefore I am hoping it has been resolved. Thank goodness, the car passed inspection on 10/17/2023 for which the complaint of the traction service alerts have affected my yearly inspection for at least 3 years. I am asking for the status of your assessment of my complaint. Thank you. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THE ESC IS HARD TO STEER AND THE SEATBELT LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN I'M WEARING MY SEATBELT

Head light wire is out , electrical wire is messing up . Car is shaking bad and won’t start . Air bag light is on

I was driving down the road after I bought the car and the steering suddenly went out the DIC said "service esc" and "service traction" and I could barely move the steering wheel I was lucky to be on a country road because if I was on the highway I could have lost complete control and caused an accident I took it to a mechanic and they said "the dielectric grease in the bcm connector wore out" when I googled it I saw there was a recall but when I contacted the dealer they said there was nothing they could do for me. this is very concerning as who knows how many malibus steering could randomly go out over such a stupid problem i could be available if you would like to inspect the car/systems

Passenger side low beam headlight wiring harness connector keeps melting even after replacement. Noticed online that many owners are experiencing the same issue. Replaced harness multiple times and same issue reoccurs after two to three weeks of use.

Air bag light randomly pop on . Electrical system is so bad that I only have 1 head light and it’s very dangerous driving at night like that .

after starting car, orange triangle indicator light came on (traction control I believe) and Message: "eng reduction loss of power steering, drove to Midas for oil change a couple miles away with manual steering(more difficult that my 61 Pontiac Tempest). I turned car off and immediately restarted and power steering was restored, car was fine driving home after oil change. In addition, I've owned the car about two months and have put on around 4,000 miles(Drove it back from Arizona), I've already had the thermostat replaced in S. Dakota, fuel pump replaced in Wisconsin and exhaust manifold in Michigan.

First off the power steering goes out and can only be fixed by applying dielectric grease to the bcm but that will fix it. second the airbag light will randomly go on but this can also be remedy by fixing the yellow connection under the passenger seat try jiggling it if that doesnt fix it just cut the two wires off the connector's and splice with crimp connectors. hope this helps you as much as it did me :)

Brake lights stay on while driving but turn off when braking, engine and traction control lights come on, car acts like it's going to die. This happens intermittently and sometimes without any warning lights. I noticed this again most recently within the last week and several times on 2/25/23. Vehicle has not yet been inspected but was previously taken in for the same issue in 2020. Dealership stated that since the lights weren't staying on and no codes were stored, they weren't required to make repairs. It goes without saying that driving with faulty lights can cause an accident and is also illegal. It is highly irresponsible of GM not to repair this known issue and of NHTSA not to issue a recall.

Since sometime in 2016, these warning messages came on the dash periodically after hitting a bump - Service Traction, Service ESC, ESC off, Eng Power Reduced. The engine light stayed on. The car then ran slowly. After stopping and pulling off again, the car jerked forward. This could be dangerous in traffic! At first, I was told by a mechanic that my gas petal sensor needed to be replaced. After each of the 3 replacements, the problem seemed to be solved. But after a while, the warning messages would return after hitting another bump. The engine light would again stay on. Now, these warning messages come on every time I drive the car, with the engine light staying on. The same problems while driving still occur. A second mechanic advised me to put in this complaint, saying the problem was well-known to Chevrolet. He diagnosed it as being caused by water getting into a poor connection between the wire safety harness and the computer. The machine at AutoZone gave this assessment of the problem - "The ECH has detected that the APP sensor 1 and APP sensor 2 disagree more than 4.5 percent for less than 1 second. Probable cause: 1. Poor electrical connection. 2. Failed APP sensor." When I took the vehicle to a Chevrolet dealer in July 2016, they were unable to fix the problem. It would be really wonderful if this serious problem was the subject of a safety recall and was fixed for all affected drivers!

Just Replaced Fuel Pump, Passenger Headlight Randomly Goes Out, Top Break Light Randomly Goes Out, Had To Replace Wiper Motor, & Fuel Pump Relay Wire Faulty. Wiring To Fuse Boxes Seem To Be Loose. Dealership or Any Other Certified Tech Will Listen or Touch To Fix The Car When Everything Is Working.

I drive down the road and the brake lights come on I hit the brake then they go off. Randomly when I drive service esc service traction come on but as soon as I turn the car off and back on it is gone. Cruise control stopped working as well.

I was driving the car safely as always and within the speed limits and an officer was heading the same direction, The brake lights got me cited for mechanical repairs. I have noticed the brake lights work yet they do not work with light pressure on the brake pedal. The officer gave a warning about brake lights and it has to be repaired ASAP. What explanation might there be for the brake light? What should I ask the mechanic to look for?

The power steering system stops working when it’s cold. There are no warning signs prior to it malfunctioning. When I get it towed to be seen or bring an mechanic to check out the problem it is always resolved before they can inspect it. This is unsafe because there is no warning and it comes and goes with no consistency. I could drive for 30 minutes without a problem and then it stops working or I could get in the car and it stops working within 5 minutes.This could easily cause an accident.

THE BRAKES ARE DOING THE SAME THING THAT WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED BACK IN 2014. THEY ARE ILLUMINATING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND TURN OFF WHILE I HIT THE BRAKES. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES AND CANNOT GET MY CAR INSPECTED WITHOUT GETTING THIS CORRECTED. I HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL PARTS TRYING TO REPAIR THIS BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. CRUISE CONTROL, STABILITY CONTROL AND SEVER OTHER FUNCTIONS ARE NOT WORKING EITHER ALL OF THEM ARE RELATED TO THE SAME RECALL ISSUED BACK IN 2014. IS THERE ANY KIND OF WARRANTY ON THE RECALL THAT WAS REPAIRED?

The car shut off while driving down the street. Lost all control over steering and braking components. After the car shut itself off was not able to get it to turn back on after several hours. Turned it back on but when attempted to drive it home, it shit itself off again. Still could not control steering wheel

When I bought the car in December of 2018 the car only had 42,000 miles on it. I had two incidences where the anti theft system went off locking me out of the car. The second time the vehicle had to be towed back to the dealership. Fast forward to 2022 and the car only has 77,000 miles on it and in the past three months the anti theft system has gone off in this car more than ten times. I recently went to a Chevrolet dealership and had them recut keys from the vin number.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING BACK FROM SCHOOL IN A VERY BUSY ROAD AND A MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DASH BOARD THAT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND SPEED DROPED TO 5 MPH. I TOLD HER TO PARK SOMEWHERE AND TURN OFF CAR FOR LIKE 15 MINUTES AND TURN IT BACK ON AND CAR STILL DIDNT ACCELERATE. HAD TO GO GET HER AND LEAVE CAR THERE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 2021.

I purchased the car for my mother on 10/20/2015 from Mike Savoie Chevrolet in Troy, MI. At the time I had a concern because there was a message being displayed on the car “Service ESC”, I was informed by the dealer that it was a false message and there was no issue with the car, we should just disregard but if we had any problems to let him know moving forward. At that time we did not have issues with anything else. There was about 80,000 miles on the odometer when we bought it, there are only about 95,300 now. Recently the brake lights have been coming on when the brakes are not applied, we have taken the car to a mechanic three times for this issue but he has been unable to duplicate it, as a result he felt that the brake pedal sensor was at fault and replaced it, but the issue still exists, a wasted $200! My 17 year old grandson is now using the car, the issue occurred again today and I discovered that this issue may be associated with a recall which also includes the “Service ESC” message which has been on the car since I bought it. However, when I enter the VIN it shows no open recalls. Apparently it was not fixed and the dealer should have fixed it before I bought it or I should have been notified of the recall. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY GRANDSON’S SAFETY AND WILL NEED TO SWITCH MY CAR WITH HIM SO THAT HE CAN BE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE! Not only do the brake lights come on when not applied, but you need to tap the brake to turn them off at that point other drivers are not aware that the brake is being applied. Taking the car back to the repairman today. Please help. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter.

Car will not start. There is a recall for this, but my car seems not to be included. Turn the key over and over....battery is good....will not start.....after 50 or so tries, occasionally it will start, but when you get to your destination, you have to pray it will start again. Sometimes it will....most times it won't. This is a problem with a recall. Dealership will not fix it under the recall without the car being on the list. A little help from y'all would certainly help me. I'm 73, retired, on fixed income. Cannot afford to pay a Dealership to fix this when it is a known problem. Please help....

“Engine Power Reduced” comes on suddenly, alongside numerous other lights (check engine, service traction, ESC, etc). This causes the vehicle to reduce speed in traffic, increasing risk of collision. Other models of Chevy Malibu have been recalled for this same issue (faulty throttle sensor).

While driving the power steering goes out and a warning message pops up that says ‘Service ESC’ and ‘ESC Off’. It is near impossible to turn the wheel when this happens. I was able to turn the car off and back on, and the power steering returns/messages go away, but the same problem happens on and off.

Had test drove the vehicle everything was fine, picked the vehicle up and drove it home everything was fine, parked in the back of my house the car sat over night I go to pull it out the drive way, the power steering has gotten stuck and I mean it was STUCK!, the “power steering” light came on the dash so I tried my best to turn to just pull it back in the driveway. It was so hard to turn I thought I would brake the steering wheel. Another thing whenever I ride over a bump my radio changes stations or turns off.

Service electronic stability control light comes on and brake light comes on and off at times

The airbag don’t work, I just payed 1200$ to replace the computer pc because the car wouldn’t start and that didn’t solve the problem the check engine light is always on, the car have electrical problems; if I run the Ac it blows hot and then the car go to engine power reduces within 4 minutes. If I drive the car it will go on engine power reduce after 6 minutes because the fan is not working due to the fact that that car has electrical problems and the fan is not getting enough power to warm the car up and the engine gets real hot and it go to making a loud rumbling noise and growling and I can only drive 10 mph and 40 mph the fastest but then the car go to shaking and wen I try to park the car it’s shaking Nd rumbling which can cause an accident

The passenger light beam will not come on it also messes with my radio it turns it to the aux I keep replacing the Bub in the harness and it's still not working not not to mention the car felt like a lost of power due to I guess the trance when turning a corner or pulling off. The air bag light comes on a few days and turn off.

brake lights sometimes they work sometimes they don't yes but they say the recall is 500 miles out of the recall miliage none of these have inspected it since i owned car yes service esc service transaction

Brake lights illuminate without being pressed. Service ESC and Service Traction Control lights intermittently comes on. Dealer said recall issues has already been fixed.

WENT TO DEALER TO GET A PREVIOUS RECALL THAT WAS FIXED BUT HAS SINCE THEN FAILED AGAIN AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL INVOLVED THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHERE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING BUT NOT WHEN ACTUALLY PRESSING ON BRAKES.

WHILE DRIVING THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL BE SET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN TURN OFF. THE GAUGES ON THE DASH WOULD SPORATICALLY JUMP UP AND DOWN AND SOMETIMES FLATLINE AS IF THE CAR WAS OFF. WHEN BRAKING THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD ENGAGE IF MY HAND PRESSED THE BUTTON LLOCATED ON THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPEED UP WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD BE ON WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKES AND WOULD TURN ON ONCE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. RECALL WORK WAS REPORTED TO BE COMPLETED JANUARY 2015 BUT PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST. THERE IS ALSO A BULLETIN FOR SPECIAL COVERAGE THAT IS LIMITED TO 150,000 MILES WHICH I DON'T RECIEVE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OVER THAT MILEAGE BUT THE DANGERS OF THE VEHICLE STILL PERSIST. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN PRESENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED JUST 2 DAYS AGO. I CANTACTED CHEVY AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T COVER IT BECAUSE OF THE MILES.

ONE DAY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND MY WHEEL LOCKED AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN IT. IT WAS VERY SCARY GOING 50 MPH TRYING TO GET OFF A EXIT AND NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN MY WHEEL. I NEEDED JUST HAVE TO LET MY CAR SIT BECAUSE I CLD NOT AFFORD THE COST TO GET IT FIXED AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO CAUSE THAT I CALLED CHEVY GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY SAID THERE WASN'T A RECALL BUT I SEE PPL WITH MALIBU'S HAVE THE SAME ISSUE . THIS CLD HAVE BEEN DEADLY ME AND MY 2 KIDS COULD HAVE GOTTEN SEVERELY HURT THAT'S NOT OKAY THAT THIS HAPPENED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ESC WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS STILL AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 27,000.

IT IS THE POWER STEERING AND IT SHUTS OFF NO WARNING, LOCKS STEERING WHEEL UP I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO TURN IT WHEN IT DOES. THE ESC LIGHT COMES ON AND TRACTION CONTROL GOES OFF. IT IS TRIGGERED AT TIMES BY COLD WEATHER BUT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 143,000

WHILE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH, LOST POWER FOR A SPLIT SECOND THEN REGAINED. ABOUT 5 MILES TOWARD DESTINATION, AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN & WHEN I ACCELERATED, THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED WITH LINE OF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. SHOULD THIS CAR HAVE DIED IN THE MIDST OF HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WE COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH A CHAIN REACTION OF VEHICLES PILING UP BEHIND ME & POSSIBLE INJURIES. . WE WERE SLOWLY CREEPING AROUND THE CORNER TRYING TO CATCH A CLEAR PATH TO PROCEED WHEN THE CAR WENT DEAD. THERE HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN PROBLEMS WHEN AFTER DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES THEN RETURNING TO THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START, CRANKED BUT NOT START WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS PRESENT.. BUT AFTER REPEATED RESTART ATTEMPTS IT WOULD START MAYBE AN HOUR LATER. BUT THIS TIME IT DIED IN TRAFFIC 3 DAYS AGO AND WE HAD TO BE TOWED HOME, IT STILL WILL NOT START. I'VE READ ONLINE ABOUT MANY OTHER MALIBU OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH CONCERNS OF ACCIDENTS. NO ENGINE OR DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND A DEALER COULD NOT GET IT TO CODE. THE UNSAFE PROBLEM IS THE CAR DYING IN THE TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING IN FRONT OF A LONG LINE OF TRAFFIC.

THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BREAKING. THE RIGHT SIDE MORE OFTEN. I SEE THESE MALIBU'S ON THE ROAD ALL THE TIME WITH A HEADLIGHT OUT. IT'S EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AS OFTEN AS IT DOES.

THE POWER STEERING SENSOR STOP'S STEERING DURING DRIVING AND TRACTION LOSS. THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COSTLY TO REPAIR. I PRAY NOBODY DIES FROM THIS. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER OWNERS.*DT

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND WE ONLY REALIZE IT STILL EXISTS WHEN ONE OF OUR FAMILY IS FOLLOWING THE 2010 MALIBU IN ANOTHER CAR. WE HAD BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO A CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER IN THE PAST AND WERE CHARGED FOR A "REPAIR". WHEN WE AGAIN NOTICED THE PROBLEM WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO A FIRESTONE SERVICE CENTER AND THEY CHARGED US FOR A "REPAIR". WE JUST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND NOW ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. A SEARCH OF THE VIN SHOWS NO UNREPAIRED RECALLS SO WE ARE NOT SURE IF THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD ALREADY BROUGHT IT IN (WE ARE THE SECOND OWNER) OR IF THIS PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT THOUGHT TO BE AFFECTED. REGARDLESS, IT SOUNDS LIKE A KNOWN PROBLEM AND WE ARE HOPING NOT TO HAVE TO PAY A THIRD TIME AND THEN STILL HAVE AN ISSUE. PLEASE LET US KNOW OUR OPTIONS. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER MY ESCL CAME ON. MY WHEELS LOCKED UP.I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT AND I'M NOW CONCERNED AS WELL ABOUT AIRBAG SAFETY I'M SCARED ABOUT HOW RISKY AND DANGEROUS THIS CAR REALLY IS MALIBU IS MOST RECALLED VEHICLES HAD I KNOWN AHEAD I WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED THIS DEADLY WEAPON. I'M 22 A SINGLE MOM WHO IS RESPONSIBLE AND NOW HAVE A VEHICLE ISSUE AND A POTENTIAL DEADLY ONE AT THAT . PLEASE DO SOMETHING IT'S NOT AN ERROR ON MY END I KNOW THAT FOR FACT. AND OF COURSE THERE'S NO DRIVING IT AT ALL. SO PLEASE TAKE TIME TO TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUS GOD BLESS

SOMETIMES THE SWITCH ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL LOCK/UNLOCK DOORS AND SOMETIMES IT WANT. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS THAT'S CAUSING THIS MY MECHANIC THINKS IT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT'S CAUSING ALL OF THIS. ALSO KEY FOB STOPPED WORKING SO I CHANGED THE BATTERY STILL DIDN'T WORK TOOK TO SEE IF MAYBE IT NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED BUT WAS TOLD ONCE AGAIN MY CAR HAS SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

VEHICLE GOES INTO POWER ENGINE REDUCED MODE/ESC OFF/ SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MODE. THE CAR LOSES SPEED AND GOES ABOUT 20 MPH THE RPM GO CRAZY AND CAR SHAKES VIOLENTLY. IT HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS AND IT HAPPENS WHILE IDDLE, WHILE DRIVING IT, WHILE THE AC IS ON OR OFF IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. IVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY TWICE, ACCELERATOR PEDAL 3 TIMES, BATTERY, MAP SENSOR, KNOCK SENSOR, BATTERY TERMINALS, POWER TRAIN RELAY, SPARK PLUGS, CLEANED ALL THE COROSION AND ITS BEEN AT THE CHEVY DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND STILL THE CAR IS NOT FIXED. IVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY AND EVEN CHEVY CANNOT FIND WHATS WRONG WITH THIS CAR. ITS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, STREETS, WHILE TURNING OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT. ALL MY ELECTRIAL DOSENT WORK. MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM LIGHT KEEPS BLOWING OUT AND MY SPEAKERS KEEP GOING IN AND OUT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR. THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS.

MY CHECK ENGINE, POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC, ESC OFF, BRAKE SYSTEM (!), ABS SYSTEM LIGHTS ALL FLASH, AND ALL OF MY GAUGES FLUCTUATE SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE SAME PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING, AND I HAVE HAD MY CONTROL COMPUTER NODULE REPLACED, AS WELL AS MY POWER STEERING MODULE REPLACED AT LYNCH CHEVROLET IN KENOSHA, WI. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR SHIFTS/JERKS, AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. WHEN I COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT OR SIGN, MY CAR DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING ME TO BE IN AN INTERSECTION FOR LONGER THAN NORMAL BECAUSE MY CAR WON'T TAKE OFF. THE VEHICLE ALSO JERKS INTO DIFFERENT GEARS WHILE ALL OF THESE SERVICE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. THIS FEELS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, AND THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE RESOLVED. IT STARTED IN JANUARY AND IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN DESPITE REPLACING PARTS.

IT WILL COME ON, AND THEN NEXT TIME I START MY VEHICLE, IT STOPS. THEN COMES BACK ON. SOMETIMES STAYS ON FOR WEEKS. OR IS GONE FOR WEEKS.THIS HAS HAPPENED EVEN WITH PROFESSIONAL REPAIRS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND IDLING AND WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHTS FOR THE 5TH TIME IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. JUST REPLACED THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT LAST WEEK AND EXACTLY A WEEK LATER, IT IS BACK OUT ON THE SAME SIDE, 6TH TIME. IN THE PAST, I'VE HAD BOTH REPLACED WHEN ONE BLOWS OUT BECAUSE OF HOW YOU HAVE ACCESS THE HEADLIGHTS, THE CAR REPAIR SHOPS CHARGES ME $180 AND UP. IMAGINE ME HAVING TO DOING THIS THAT MUCH BECAUSE IT IS MANDATORY TO GET REPAIRED. I CAN NOT DRIVE WITH ONE HEADLIGHT OR NONE. ONE BLOWS AND A FEW MONTHS LATER THE OTHER BLOWS OR THE SAME. IT IS HARD TO TELL EXACTLY AT WHAT POINT IT HAPPENS BECAUSE AT TIMES YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IT IS OUT UNTIL SOMEONE CALLS YOU OR A KIND DRIVER LET'S YOU KNOW. I FOUND OUT THIS LAST TIME BY PULLING INTO MY GARAGE AND SEEING THE DIM GLARE ON THE FRONT WALL AS I WAS PULLING IN. THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH FOR A RESOLUTION. PEOPLE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR REPAIRS AND NO LUCK. THIS MUST BE RECALLED. THE 2010 CHEVY MALIBU DESIGN TO REPAIR THE HEADLIGHT MAKES IT HIGHLY INCONVENIENT FOR MY POCKETS DUE TO THE COST OF LABOR. MANY SHOPS HAVE REFUSED SERVICING ME BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO GET TO THE HEADLIGHT BY TAKING OFF THE BUMPER AND THE NUMBER OF SCREWS TO BE REMOVED ETC. I HAVE HAD TO MISS WORK, GO IN LATE OR LEAVE EARLY TO GET MY HEADLIGHT/S REPLACED. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND UNLUCKY BEING AN OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE.

REPEATING HEADLAMP FAILURE. BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES IN PAST YEAR. BOTH BULBS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES) HAVE BEEN REPLACED DURING SERVICE THOUGH ONLY ONE HAD FAILED, IN HOPES OF EXTENDING TIME BETWEEN THE NEXT REQUIRED SERVICE. HEADLAMP BULB REPLACEMENT ON THIS VEHICLE IS COMPLEX, REQUIRING REMOVAL OF THE FRONT-END/BUMPER ASSEMBLY TO ACCESS THE LAMP ASSEMBLY, USUALLY REQUIRING BODY SHOP EXPERTISE AND COST (>$200+) VERSUS A QUICK DIY JOB OR LOCAL SERVICE MECHANIC. INTERNET SEARCHES INDICATE MANY CUSTOMERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, POINTING TO A FAILED DESIGN BY CHEVROLET WITH THE DAYLIGHT RUNNING TIME CIRCUITRY CAUSING HIGH CURRENTS LEADING TO HIGH TEMPERATURES AND OVERHEATING/MELTING/DEFORMED CONNECTORS, PIGTAIL AND WIRING COMPONENTS. A VEHICLE WITHOUT TWO WORKING HEADLAMPS IS AN OPERATIONAL, CITATIONAL AND SAFETY HAZARD, THUS DISABLING THE VEHICLE. THIS DESIGN PROBLEM MUST BE ADDRESSED BY RECALL.

2010 CHEVY MALIBU HAS HAD CONSTANT ISSUES WITH LOW BEAM LIGHT BULBS EITHER BURNING OUT, HARNESS WIRE ISSUES, OR BULBS WORKING INTERMITTENT, I HAVE PAID TO HAVE BULBS REPLACED, HARNESSES REPLACED, AND EACH TIME THE FIX WILL WORK FOR A FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS. THE LAST TIME THE HARNESSES WERE REPLACE WAS PROBABLY A YEAR OR TWO AGO, BUT I AM HAVING THE ISSUES AGAIN. DRIVING WITH A HEADLIGHT OUT IS ILLEGAL AND GM IS WELL AWARE OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FOUND THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL OF THESE ELECTRIC ISSUES AND FIX THE ISSUE PROPERLY. PRIOR THIS CAR HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THAT ISSUE GOT RESOLVED BY A RECALL. GM NEEDS TO DO A FULL INSPECTION ON THE WIRING AND SEE WHAT IS CAUSING THE SHORTS, THE FUSES TO BLOW, AND WORST OF ALL THE DANGERS OF HAVING EXTERIOR LIGHTS NOT TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS A HUGE RISK AND COULD RESULT IN A DEADLY ACCIDENT IF NOT RESEARCHED AND RESOLVED PROPERLY

THE VEHICLE IS 10 YEARS OLD - DEALERSHIPS DON'T FIX ANYTHING FOR FREE, SO THAT "SPECIAL PROGRAM" IS INDICATIVE OF THE COMPANY TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED GM PRODUCTS ALL MY LIFE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME DO NOT KNOW IF MY LOYALTY TO THE MANUFACTURER OR BRAND WILL CONTINUE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN HANDLED.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING ON MATCH 18, 2019. I WAS TURNING RIGHT ONTO BUSY 4 LANE CITY STREET FROM A PARKING LOT, SPEED < 5 MPH. COULD NOT TURN INTO RIGHT LANE, STRUGGLED TO SWING CAR INTO LEFT LANE W/O CROSSING MEDIAN. IT WAS NOT SIMPLY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I'VE DRIVEN OLD CARS THAT NEVER HAD POWER STEERING AND THIS WAS 10 TIMES MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. I THINK I STRAINED A MUSCLE IN MY SHOULDER. TURNING DID NOT GET EASIER AS I ACCELERATED, EVENTUALLY TO ABT 40 MPH. STRUGGLED THROUGH 3 MORE HAIR RAISING TURNS (ALL TURNS MADE) BEFORE PARKING IT AT HOME. THE ESC/TCS INDICATOR CAME ON IN THE PARKING LOT AND STAYED ON. ERROR MSGS DISPLAYED WERE POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC, SERVICE AIR BAG. I HEARD NO CHIMES. WE GAVE MY DAUGHTER THIS USED CAR IN 2015. SHE HAD COMPLAINED A COUPLE OF WEEKS PRIOR THAT STEERING SOMETIMES BECAME DIFFICULT. A SEARCH BY VIN SHOWS NO INCOMPLETE RECALLS. IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY USEFUL TO KNOW IF THIS CAR WAS PART OF A RECALL(S) AND THEN REPAIRED. IF IT WAS, IT WAS REPAIRED INCORRECTLY, NOT ALL PROBLEMS WERE RESOLVED, OR THE PARTS USED HAVE A SHORT LIFE SPAN. IF GM ISN'T COVERING THIS SITUATION, THAT'S A CRIME. ALSO, IF NOT COVERED BY GM I'LL TAKE IT TO OUR REGULAR MECHANIC SINCE HIS WORK IS MORE RELIABLE THAN THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP'S. IF MY BABY HAD BEEN HURT IN THIS DEATH TRAP, HEADS WOULD'VE ROLLED - METAMORPHICALLY OF COURSE. I'LL ALSO BE CONSULTING A LAWYER.

AT LEAST THREE TIMES MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. MULTIPLE CRANK/NO START SITUATIONS AS WELL.

I LOVE MY CAR BUT HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT! PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET THE FIRST ISSUES I MENTIONED CORRECTED! I'M GETTING DIFFERENT ANSWERS FROM EVERYONE I TALK TOO. I SEE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR MALIBU AS WELL!

PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT GOES OUT EVERY 2 MONTHS. I HAVE REPLACED THIS 3 TIMES. REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT REQUIRES REMOVING THE FRONT BUMPER AND IT IS $120 JUST TO REMOVE THE BUMPER TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. NEW CONNECTOR AND PIGTAILS HAVE NOT SOLVED THE BURNOUT ISSUE. UPON AN INTERNET SEARCH, I FOUND OTHER HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH PASSENGER HEADLIGHT.

THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS DO NOT ALWAYS COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED AND SOMETIME THEY GO OFF WHILE DRIVING. MY SON-IN-LAW TOLD ME TO PULL OVER, SHUT OFF THE MOTOR, PUMP THE FOOT FEED 3 TIMES AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. THAT SEEMS TO WORK MOST OF THE TIME. BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THAT. I HAVE HAD THE HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT AT NIGHT WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND THEN THEY CAME BACK ON WHEN I HIT ANOTHER BUMP. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY TAILLIGHTS MAY NOT ALWAYS WORK AND TO LET THEM KNOW IF I HAVE THAT PROBLEM. WELL HELL I AM DRIVING THE CAR NOT RUNNING ALONG BEHIND IT!! DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE REAR-END ME TO FIND OUT THAT THEY DON'T WORK? NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF AIRBAGS I HAVE IN THIS VEHICLE BUT WITH HISTORY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT MAY ALSO BE AN ISSUE.THESE PROBLEMS HAVE EXISTED FROM THE TIME THE CAR WAS NEW. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO DIFFERENT SHOPS TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME THEY THINK IT IS FIXED. I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE NEXT SHOE TO DROP. IS THE COMPETITION FOR CAR MAKERS SO VICIOUS THAT THEY NEED TO RUSH PRODUCTION AT THE COST OF CUSTOMER SAFETY TO GET VEHICLES OUT AHEAD OF THEIR COMPETITION?

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2016 AND NOT MORE THAN TWO DAYS OF OWNING IT MY ESC LIGHTS DISABLED AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STUCK ON, I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE BREAK PEDAL SENSOR, AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN AND THEY ONCE AGAIN REPLACED THE SENSOR, THIS PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE FIXED ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER, THE ESC CONSTANTLY DISABLES AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY STUCK I AM LUCKY I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM HAVE FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT THEY NEVER ACTUALLY FIXED. I WILL BE DRIVING AND MY CHECK TRACTION LIGHT WILL COME ON AND MY ESC LIGHT WILL SAY OFF. YOU CAN SEE BY THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT I ORIGINALLY REPORTED THIS PROBLEM ON 9/26/2016, I PURCHASED THE CAR SEPTEMBER 24, 2016...

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT CONTROLS THE GEAR SHIFT THAT SHOWS IF I AM IN PARK, REVERSE, DRIVE, MANUAL DON'T WORK WITH THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THE CONTROL PANEL BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL THAT SHOWS MY MILES PER HOUR, FUEL LEVEL, TEMPERATURE GAUGE, MILEAGE AND MORE. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY RISK AND I HAVE HAD MY PART FOR THIS ORDERED TWICE BUT THERE IS SO MANY OF THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL CAR THAT IS NEEDING THEM THAT THEY ARE BACK LOGGED OUT SEVERAL MONTHS. I LIVE IN VALDOSTA GA AND HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN FOR THE LAW FIRM THAT I WORK FOR AND THIS CAR IS SO UNSAFE THAT I CAN'T DRIVE IT BC I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS STRANDED. CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING SO I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES DO TO THAT AS WELL.

THE ELECTRICAL RANDOMLY MALFUNCTIONS SOMETIMES THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T WORK AND THEY RANDOMLY COME ON OR GO OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND IT WAS ALMOST DARK OUT SIDE I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE THEY CAME BACK ON. THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO OVERHEAT. THE MOTOR BLOWER FOR THE HEATING AND COOLING WILL ALSO RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BROKE AND AFTER REPLACING AND FIXING THE PART THEY BROKE AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CROWDED HIGHWAY IN THE POURING RAIN. I FIXED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS 2 TIMES AND THEY STILL CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION AND QUIT WORKING. THE EXAUHST HAS A LEAK. THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONS AND DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT WHILE DRIVING IT TAKES FOREVER TO SHIFT AND ONE TIME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND WOULD BARELY DRIVE WHEN I WOULD GIVE IT GAS AND THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK IT WAS LIKE THAT FOR ABOUT 8 MINUTES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED TO WORK PROPERLY. THERE IS A PIECE THAT CONNECTS TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT KEEPS COMING UNDONE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE BUT IT WOULDN'T WORK AND I FIXED THE PROBLEM AND UPON ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION THE VEHICLE WENT INTO PARK BUT CONTINUED TO MOVE I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT. THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL STABILITY AND THE TIRES HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE TURN SIGNALS RANDOMLY QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING WHEN I FIRST TURN THEM ON THEY DON'T WORK BUT AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS THEY START TO WORK. THE MID FLAP CAME OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. THE PARTS AFFECTED IS THE ELECTRICAL, BODY, POWER TRAIN, LIGHTING, WHEELS, SUSPENSION, BRAKES, VISIBILITY/WIPERS AND THE ENGINE.

IN REVIEWING SEVERAL DIFFERENT WEBSITES, THIS PROBLEM IS REPORTED REPEATEDLY, EVEN WITH COMMENTS OF GM MECHANIC STATING THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE HARNESS BUT GM IS NOT RECALLING IT. I PRAY THAT A CHILD NEVER RUNS OUT INTO THE STREET AND GETS HIT BY A CAR AS A RESULT OF THE DRIVER NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THEIR CAR BECAUSE GM DOES NOT WANT TO PAY TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE HARNESS AND THE CONSTANT COMPLAINTS THEY ARE AWARE. .

I AM DRIVING WITH ONE LIGHT BECAUSE I REFUSE TO FIX IT UNTIL GM DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS INSANE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO GET DONE IMMEDIATELY.

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING AND BEEN TOLD MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND AT TIMES MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT FUNCTION AND IT HAPPENS DURING DAY WHEN I CAN'T TELL AND AT NIGHT WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS MORE APPARENT BUT NOT ANY LESS DANGEROUS ...PUTTING TWO TOGETHER MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD BE COMING ON AND WHEN I PRESS THE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN THEY GO OFF...I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND AFTER GOOGLING TO FIND A FIX I SEE THERE ARE MANY RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL...AS IT DOES NOT LIST MY VIN TO BE INVOLVED WITH ANY RECALLS IT'S CONCERNING THAT THE SAFETY OF MY KIDS AND I COULD BE AT RISK. I CANNOT FIND ANY POSITIVE FIX TO THE PROBLEM YET AND SEE MANY PEOPLE SPENT HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS AT DEALERSHIPS ONLY TO FIND THE PROBLEM NOT FIXED...IF THERE'S ANY ASSISTANCE INFORMATION OR GO TO'S YOU CAN PROVIDE I WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

I WAS DRIVING ON THE I89 NORTH IN CONCORD, NH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND THE RPMS WENT REALLY HIGH. I HEARD A SPINNING NOISE - LIKE SOMETHING WAS SPINNING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE DIDN'T INCREASE THE CARS SPEED. THEN I SHIFTED TO THE MANUAL MODE AND TRIED TO USE THE GEAR SHIFTING PADDLES TO SHIFT. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO A GEAR TO GET ME TO THE NEXT EXIT EVEN THOUGH IT KEPT SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE I PROCEEDED SLOWLY OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON STEADY. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT PUT MYSELF AND EVERYONE AROUND ME AT RISK OF A MAJOR ACCIDENT. ONCE I WAS OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SAFE, I PLUGGED IN MY DIAGNOSTICS TOOL I CARRY IN MY CAR (I TOOK A AUTO REPAIR CLASS A FEW YEARS BACK). THE DIAGNOSIS CODES THE CARS COMPUTER PROVIDED ARE P0776 AND P0700 - INDICATING A MAJOR MALFUNCTION OF THE TRANSMISSION AND A SOLENOID PROBLEM. I TOOK A PHOTO OF THE CODES. I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2009 CHEVY MALIBU'S. THE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 5/100K TO 10/120K. CLEARLY GM SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR THE 2010 MODELS AS WELL. IT'S THE SAME 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION.

RECALL 13036D: I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT THE ISSUE WITH MY 2010 MALIBU WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL 13036D. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY HAVE PERFORMED THE "FIX" LISTED BELOW AS FOUND AT HTTPS://GM.OEMDTC.COM/4133/13036D-PRODUCT-SAFETY-RECALL-BRAKE-LAMP-MALFUNCTION-2004-2012-CHEVROLET-PONTIAC-SATURN. THIS RESOLVED THE ISSUE FOR LESS THAN A WEEK. MY CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT RESPOND. MY BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANTLY TURN ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT PUSHED AND TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND OBVIOUSLY DUE TO A FAULTY PRODUCT. THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY THE CONSUMER, ME. THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE PART IS $600. THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. WHY ON EARTH, WOULD I PAY TO HAVE A PART REPLACED WHEN THE COMPANY, THAT MEANS YOU CHEVY, IS AWARE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WHICH IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO THE CUSTOMER. I HAVE BEEN A CHEVY OWNER ALL MY LIFE AND I HAVE ALWAYS RECOMMENDED YOUR PRODUCT TO PEOPLE LOOKING TO PURCHASE NEW OR USED VEHICLES, DUE TO THE RELIABILITY I HAVE EXPERIENCED. BUT THIS ISSUE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ME TO NEVER WANT TO DEAL WITH YOUR COMPANY AGAIN. IF YOU KNOW THE PART IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE WORKAROUND DOES NOT COMPLETELY RESOLVE THE ISSUE THEN THE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON YOUR DIME AND NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CUSTOMER. THAT SHOULD BE COMMON SENSE AND REALLY JUST GOOD BUSINESS. I HOPE YOU, AS A COMPANY, CAN SEE THE LIGHT AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITHOUT NEEDING A LOYAL CUSTOMER TO SEND AN ANGRY EMAIL FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AS SOON AS THE PROBLEM AROSE.

I ALSO READ THAT THE BCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE. THE DEALER PUT SOME DIELECTRIC SILICONE GREASE ON THE CONNECTOR AS A BAND-AID ON THE REAL PROBLEM.

DURING THE PAST 10 DAYS THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING GOING ON WHEN NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES AND GOING OFF WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES.

IT LOOKS LIKE GM DOES NOT HAVE SAFETY IN MIND AFTER YOU PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES! THE 13036 RECALL HAS BEEN REVISED SEVERAL TIMES, SO IF YOU HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED IN THE EARLY STAGES, THEY NOTE YOUR VEHICLE AS COMPLETED AND SEND YOU ON YOUR WAY.

BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION. BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED AT WHICH TIME, BRAKE LIGHTS EXTINGUISH. TRACTION CONTROL AND CRUISE CONTROL ALSO FAIL. SAME VEHICLE WITH SAME ISSUE WAS PREVIOUSLY SUBJECT TO SAFETY RECALL 13036. RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND ISSUE CONTINUED. BRAKE APPLY SENSOR WAS REPLACED, PRIOR TO RECALL AND ISSUE REMAINED. RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED ON 11/15/14. ISSUES INTERMITTENTLY OCCUR AND IN JUNE 2016 VEHICLE TAKEN TO GM DEALER WHERE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR WAS REPLACED. ISSUE STILL REMAINS AS BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL PEDAL PUSHED, TRACTION CONTROL AND CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE. A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH NHTSA REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AND ABOVE ISSUES PRIOR TO RECALL. ISSUES OCCUR WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, AND IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS.

VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THE DRIVERS INFORMATION CENTER INDICATED A ELECTRONIC STABILITY SERVICE, TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE AND ESC OFF MESSAGES. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER A TWO DAY PERIOD. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY SAID THAT THE COMPUTER HAD STORED A P0300 CODE WHICH IS ENGINE MISFIRE. THE ENGINE RUNS FINE HOWEVER THERE IS A SLIGHT VIBRATION AT IDLE WHILE IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. GM ALSO SENT OUT A LETTER TO ME STATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE POSISTION SENSOR THAT MAY CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. THE DEALER DID NOT ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOS THE PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD A BAD #2 CYCLINDER WITH COMPRESSION AT 100LBS. THE P0300 CODE CAN BE CAUSED BY THE VARIOUS ELECTRONIC MESSAGES THAT HAVE APPEARED AND THE ENGINE IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THEY WANTED TO TEAR IT DOWN AT A COST OF $2300 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT EXIST. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 39000 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSSUE WITH NHTSA AND GM HAS NOT DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER ISSUE RELATING TO THIS IS THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE REDUCED POWER MESSAGE COMES ON IN SOME VEHILCLE AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE HIGWAYS. SO FAR MY CAR HAS NOT DONE THAT. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE SOME PRESSURE EXERTED ON GM TO CORRECT THESE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLE SINCE THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT ALONG WITH OUR TAXPAYER FUNDS.

THE DRIVER'S FRONT DOORS ARE LOCKED WHEN THE CAR STOPS AT THE P PARK. AND ONLY OPEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO STARTING THE ENGINE AND SWITCHING SPEED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SECURITY PROBLEM.

BRAKE LIGHTS WERE WORKING IN REVERSE AFTER RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE SO CHEVY CHARGED ME FULL PRICE FOR DIAGNOSTICS BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE ALREADY DONE, SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. WE REPLACED BRAKE SWITCH. A MONTH LATER PROBLEM PERSISTED, CHEVY DEALERSHIP CHARGED $50 FOR RELEARNING BRAKE POSITION, EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS ALL SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED IN RECALL REPAIRS. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE TRACTION CONTROL/ESC LIGHT IS ON, AND CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. I AM NOW TAKING IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME AN ADDITIONAL $50 JUST TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT. I FEEL I SHOULDN'T BE CHARGED FOR ANY OF THIS SINCE IT ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF DURING THE REPAIRS DONE FOR RECALL #: 14V252000. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MANUFACTURING ERROR THAT GM SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGING AND REPAIRING AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS. I KNOW I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE SUFFERING THIS ISSUE ESPECIALLY AFTER READING NUMEROUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ONLINE.

I HAVE ONLY BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR FOR 5 MONTHS. PURCHASED USED AT DEALERSHIP. I DO NOT DRIVE FAR. ALL OF A SUDDEN ESC AND "SERVICE TRACTION" SHOWS UP ON MY DASH. MY REAR BREAK LIGHT TURNS ON AND I'M NOT TOUCHING THE BREAK. THE "SERVICE TRACTION ESC" SHOWS UP MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. TO ME, THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND I SEE THAT MY CAR IS DOING THE SAME AS OTHERS BUT GM TOLD ME VIA PHONE CALL, "ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS ARE RECALLED". SOMETHINGS WRONG HERE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE TO BE SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE FOR THIS TO GET HANDLED? I BELIEVE IN AMERICAN MADE CARS, BUT WHY AREN'T THE REST OF US WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR ALSO IN THIS RECALL? WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS! ALL I WAS DOING WHILE DRIVING WAS DRIVING 45 MPH ON A STRAIGHT FLAT ROAD, WHERE SPEED LIMIT WAS 50MPH!

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO TURN AND WHEN I ACCELERATED A QUICK FLASH OF THE SERVICE ECM MESSAGE CAME ON AND THEN DISAPPEARED, BUT THE CAR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, IT WOULD TURNOVER, RUN FOR 2 SECONDS AND THEN DIE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE, WHERE WE CHARGED THE BATTERY AND TOOK IT OVER TO AUTOZONE TO HAVE THE ELECTRONICS SCANNED, WHERE IT SHOWED 3 CODES: U0121, P0106, P0621. THEY SCANNED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR, AND ALL CAME UP WITH A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH (SO TO SPEAK). UPON READING ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS AN ISSUE IN MALIBU'S 2004-2009 (WHICH WAS RECALLED), AND I BELIEVE THEY NEVER FIXED THE ISSUE AND NOW 2010'S MAY BE AFFECTED. MY WORRY IS THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT WILL BE AT A BUSIER INTERSECTION OR WORSE YET, ON THE HIGHWAY.

ONE NIGHT I WAS LEAVING WORK AND I REALIZED THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE BLINKER WAS NOT WORKING, INDICATING THAT MY BULB WAS OUT. BUT BY THE TIME I MADE IT HOME IT WAS WORKING AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER I NOTICED THAT MY BLINKER WAS NOT WORKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I FOUND THAT WHEN MY LIGHTS ARE ON THE PARK LIGHT OR BLINKER DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF THE BLINKER OR BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. ALSO WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE CONSOLE FLASHES WITH NUMBERS THEN WITH THE LINES. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2010 MALIBU WITH THE BCM BODY CONTROL MODULE. THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS LUMINATE WITH OUT YOU STEPPING ON THE BRAKES. WHAT NEEDS TO BE KNOWN IS THAT IS ALSO AFFECTS THE BLINKERS, BRAKE AND PARK LIGHTS. IT CAN ALSO BURN OUT YOUR BULBS. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE I TAKE A CHANCE ON MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AND CHANGING LANES WITHOUT GETTING HIT. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND I PRAY EVERY DAY THAT WE MAKE A SAFE JOURNEY. THAT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT IN THE REAR WINDOW WAS ONLY WORKING ON AN INTERMITENT BASIS. I HAD RECALL WORK DONE ON MY CAR IN OCTOBER OF 2014 UNDER RECALL 14V252000 OR CHEVY RECALL 13036 THEN IN MID JULY OF THIS YEAR MY CAR STARTED DOING WHAT THEY SAID THAT IT MIGHT DO IN THE RECALL LETTER. ON AUGUST 3 I TOOK MY CAR TO CARGILL CHEVROLET IN PUTNAM, CT. TO SEE WHY IT WAS DOING THIS I THOUGHT THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THEY THEN REPLACED A SWITCH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AT A COST OF $272.03 THAT THEY SAID WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THAT THE WHOLE BRACKET IN THE REAR WINDOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $402.40. THIS SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID NEITHER REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I WAS WONDERING WHAT YOUR OPINION WAS AND IF YOU HAD ANY OTHER REPORTS OF DEFECTIVE RECALL WORK ON THIS RECALL. THANK YOU

WE GOT UP THIS MORNING, WENT TO GET INTO OUR CAR AND AS I TRIED TO UNLOCK IT I NOTICED MY KEYLESS ENTRY WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR. I ASKED MY BOYFRIEND IF HIS WAS WORKING, AND HIS WOULDN'T OPEN THE CAR EITHER. SO I UNLOCKED THE DOOR MANUALLY AND NO ALARM SOUNDED. THE DASH DIDN'T LIGHT UP AS IT USUALLY DOES EITHER. I TRIED STARTING MY CAR, THE IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON AS DID MY STEREO, BUT THE CAR NEVER TRIED TO TURN OVER. WE HAD NO INTERIOR LIGHTS, NO HEADLIGHTS, AND NOT EVEN HAZARDS!! I THOUGHT HAZARDS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO WORK IN EMERGENCIES BUT APPARENTLY I WAS MISTAKEN. THANK GOD WE WEREN'T BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD OR FREEWAY. I'VE NOTICED OTHER YEARS OF THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAVE A RECALL FOR AN IGNITION SWITCH, WHY NOT THIS ONE? BECAUSE THEIR STORIES SOUND JUST LIKE MINE.

AS I WAS DRIVING A LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID ESC, TRACTION, SERVICE ESC AT ONE POINT IT SAID TRACTION OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SOMETIMES I GO TO START THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHT IS ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT BUDGE FROM PARK AND I WAS STRANDED FOR OVER AN HOUR IN THE EVENING ALL ALONE. OTHER TIME I WAS DRIVING AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON THE WHOLE TIME AND PEOPLE WERE HONKING AT ME. MY WORST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING GOING ABOUT 55 ON A VERY DARK ROAD WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 40 MILES TO DRIVE TO GET HOME AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING AND APPARENTLY THEN I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS AT ALL ! ALL THE WAY HOME NO BRAKE LIGHTS I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS UNTIL A CAR DROVE UP ON ME ALMOST HITTING ME FROM BEHIND BECAUSE HE COULD NOT SEE ME UNTIL HE WAS RIGHT ON ME AND I HAD TO SWERVE OVER TO THE NEXT LANE TO AVOID BEING HIT THIS WAS A VERY SCARY AND TRAUMATIC INCIDENT FOR MY DAUGHTER AND I! THIS IS BEYOND DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEIR WAS A RECALL BUT THAT THEY HAD FIXED IT DURING MY LAST OIL CHANGE WHICH I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF BUT CASE BEING IF IT WAS "FIXED" THEN WHY AM I STILL RIDING IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE?! ONE DAY ITS OKAY AND THE NEXT DAY I MAY BE ON THE EXPRESS WAY DOING 55 HOPING NOT TO DIE DUE TO A FAULTY SYSTEM SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT! I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IS JUST BRUSHING THIS OFF AS YES IT WAS A RECALL BUT WE TOOK CARE OF IT SUPPOSEDLY SO NOW THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM IN THEIR WORDS IT'S NOW YOUR PROBLEM! I CAN SAY THAT BY THE WAY I HAVE BEEN TREATED AND GETTING THE RUN AROUND AND BEING SCARED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN HAS REALLY REALLY CAUSED ME TO DISLIKE CHEVROLET!

I CALLED AROUND AND FINALLY SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO GET ME IN BY PRYING INTO MY DOOR AND PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON TO UNLOCK THE OTHER SIDE. I CLIMBED IN FOR THREE DAYS THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT OPENED TO MY SURPRISED. I WAS GETTING READY TO TAKE IT IN TO SEE ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED WHEN I WENT TO GET IN THAT AFTERNOON IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. GETTING FRUSTRATED I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT CHEVY BUT IT WOULD TAKE 3 WEEKS TO GET IN SO I LEFT THE VEHICLE PARKED AND USED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. A FRIEND OF MINE TRIED TO OPEN IT ON JULY 5TH 2015 AND IT STILL WONT OPEN. I HAVE AN NEW ALARM AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN DRIVE IT IS STILL BY CLIMBING OVER TO THE DRIVER SEAT ALMOST 2 MONTHS LATER. THERE'S A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUTH THE 2010 MALIBU DOORS NOT OPENING AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. I HAVEN'T REACHED THE 50000 MILE POINT YET ON THAT CAR AND I'M VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING.

CRUISE CONTROL RAMDOMLY WORKS. WHEN CRUISE CONTROL FAILS, THIRD BRAKE LIGHT AND TWO REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THEN THE THREE LIGHTS THEN GO OFF. WHEN CRUISE CONTROL FAILS THE TRIANGULAR TSC WARNING LIGHT ALSO APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY AND A TYPED MESSAGE APPEARS STATING "TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OFF". BOTTOM LINE, WHEN CRUISE CONTROIL FAILS, WE DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND WHEN BRAKING, BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHEN PRESSING HARD ON BRAKE PAD AND WHEN MAKING TURNS.

SOMETIMES, IT COMES ON DURING NORMAL DRIVING WITHOUT BRAKING. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS MALFUNCTION MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE IF AIR BAGS ARE ACTUALLY ENGAGED AND WILL OPERATE DURING A CRASH.

THEY ALSO SAID THE PROBLEM MAY BE CAUSED BY THE EBCM-BPMU WHICH WOULD COST OVER $1100.00. THE "SERVICE ESC" LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ON 4/09/15. I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY PERFORMANCE ISSUES SUCH AS I HAVE READ IN OTHER FORUMS REGARDING DECREASED POWER. RECALL # 13036 WAS COMPLETED ON CAR 10/14/14 BY DANTIN CHEVROLET WHICH ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE PROBLEMS I AM NOW HAVING. I MENTIONED THIS TO TURAN-FOLEYS SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT THEY SAID THEY CANNOT RE-OPEN A CLOSED RECALL. I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES MY BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE NOT WORKED PROPERLY AS I AVERAGE OVER 700 MILES A WEEK. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP! *TR

A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT CHEVY MALIBU'S DID HAVE A RECALL ON THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PUMP AND TORQUE SENSOR BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL (LTZ). WHICH DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. JUST BECAUSE IT'S A DIFFERENT TRIM, THE PARTS WOULD BE DIFFERENT? IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE. IF THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING IN CHEVY MALIBU'S, IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO ALL MALIBU'S REGARDLESS THE TRIM OF THE VEHICLE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING PUSHED. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS SITTING IN PARK OR BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE PEDAL IS NOT PUSHED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF. NOT ONLY DOES THAT HAPPEN BUT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON THE PANEL GOES OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND STAYS ON. THIS IS A HAZARD AS I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. THE FIRST TIME OF THE INCIDENT MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER APPLIED SOME KIND OF LUBRICANT. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND HE REPLACED THE BRAKE SENSOR WHICH DID NOT SEEM TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

UPON LOOKING UNDERNEATH MY CAR I FOUND MY GAS TANK LEAKING ONTO MY EXHAUST PIPE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A RECALL ISSUE BECAUSE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY CAR. ONE OF THE OTHER SERIOUS ISSUES I HAVE FOUND WITH MY CAR INCLUDE A BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE. MY CAR WAS OCCASIONALLY SHOWING A "SERVICE TRACTION/ ESC" ERROR CODE, WHICH COULD NOT BE EXPLAINED BY ANY MECHANIC OR EVEN A CHEVY DEALERSHIP THEMSELVES. IT WASN'T UNTIL A FRIEND FOLLOWING ME POINTED OUT THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS DIDN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING RIGHT, DID I REALIZE I WAS HAVING AN ISSUE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD, BUT ONLY ON THE OCCASIONS SAID ERROR CODE IS SHOWING. I LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. CHEVY HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ME A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THE THIRD MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT, I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO MY CAR. WHEN I SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY MALIBU, AMONG EVERY MALIBU I HAVE EVER BEEN, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT TURN ON. I AM 26 AND WEIGH 94LBS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF MY SIZE IS THE REASON I DO NOT ENGAGE THE AIRBAG!? THE FINAL DEFECT I HAD TO DEAL WITH INVOLVED MY DRIVER SIDE RIM. I HAD A TINY LITTLE HAIR LINE CRACK ON THE INSIDE OF MY RIM, CAUSING ME TO LOOSE A LOT OF AIR IN MY TIRE. I CONSIDER THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BECAUSE MY RIM WAS NOT DAMAGED IN ANY OTHER WAY SHAPE OR FORM. I HAD A HARD TIME OBTAINING A NEW RIM, BECAUSE (ACCORDING TO EVERYONE I CALLED) THE RIM WAS IN HIGH DEMAND. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES AND CONSIDER ADDING THEM TO GM'S CURRENT RECALL LIST. THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING MY CONCERNS. *TR..UPDATED 04-23-14 *BF *TR

AT FIRST I LOST POWER STEERING WHEN TRAVELING HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. NOW THE POWER STEERING FAILS WITH JUST SHORT TRIPS AROUND TOWN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY FOR MY WIFE. SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL AT SLOW SPEEDS. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY ACCIDENT SURCHARGES ON TOP OF THE REPAIR BILL FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS POWER STEERING ISSUE IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE WEB AND AFFECTS MANY MODELS THAT HAVE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BOX. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING BOX RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) AND THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR. THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR CANNOT BE REPLACED AT THIS TIME (OR MAYBE NEVER). THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN MUST BE REPLACED. THIS IS AT A VERY COSTLY EXPENSE WHEN A CHEAPER REPAIR IS AN OPTION. I RESEARCHED A CAR OWNER WHO HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN THREE TIMES DUE TO FAILURE OF THE POSITION SENSOR AND THERE IS NO RECOURSE FOR US CONSUMERS. EVERY 20,000 MILES AFTER WARRANTIES WERE EXPIRED. I AM [XXX] YEARS OLD AND HAVE ONLY OWNED AMERICAN MADE CARS, JUST ABOUT ALL GM PRODUCTS. IF THIS ISSUE DOES NOT GET RESOLVED IN A PROFESSIONAL WAY I WILL BE GOING TO THE FORD PRODUCT. I HOPE I WILL NOT BE FORCED TO THE FOREIGN CARS FOR THE REASON I WILL NOT RETURN TO GM IF THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I AM OPTIMISTIC AT THIS POINT I CAN REMAIN A HAPPY GM CONSUMER. I RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THE MINI COOPER HAD THE SAME ISSUE OF POWER STEERING FAILURE. THEY STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND OFFERED A 13 YEAR OR 200,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE POWER STEERING MODULE. HTTP://WWW.NORCALMINIS.COM/2013/05/MINI-POWER-STEERING-PUMP-WARRANTY.HTML THIS WOULD BE A VERY WISE CHOICE TO OFFER THIS SOLUTION WITH THE RECENT OF THE RECALL WITH THE IGNITION SHUTTING OFF WHILE THE CAR IS OPERATIONAL CAUSING FATALITIES. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A SIDE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, IT IS LIKELY THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS INJURY. CHEVROLET DID NOT RESPOND TO MY CONCERN AND I ENDED UP TRADING IN THE VEHICLE FOR A NON-GM PRODUCT. VIEWING THE RECENT RECALLS FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH (THAT I REALIZE WAS NOT THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR) CAUSED ME TO REPORT THIS IN THE EVENT OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES, ONCE A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE JUNE 2010 AT 400 MILES, AND THEN AGAIN ON 7/19/13 AFTER THE ISSUE WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY DEALER.I WAS ASSURED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER THE REPAIR IN 2010, IT DID. THIS VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. ON 7/19/2013 I WAS TRAVELING ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. EVERYTHING WENT BLANK, THE ENGINE CUT, NO POWER STEERING, NO INSTRUMENT PANELS, NO ELECTRICAL WHAT SO EVER. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ABLE BOTH TIMES TO COAST ON TO THE SHOULDER ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE, BUT WITHOUT TURN SIGNALS, HAZARD LIGHTS, ACCESS TO ON STAR OR THE ABILITY TO HAND SIGNAL AS THE WINDOWS ARE OUT. AFTER BEING ESSENTIALLY POWERLESS, THE CAR DOES TURN BACK ON AFTER IT RESETS THE INTERNAL CLOCK TO 1/1/2009.

I DRIVE IN THE CITY, AN HOUR TO WORK, SINGLE FEMALE ON A BUDGET AND MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3X FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO FIX TO IT. I AM FURIOUS, SICK TO MY STOMACH AND SAD ALL AT THE SAME TIME. THERE ARE THREE ISSUES THAT APPEAR TO BE RELATED: 1) BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING DEPRESSED, AND STAYS ON, AND/OR DOES NOT COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. 2)"SERVICE TRACTION" AND "SERVICE ESC" WARNINGS COME ON AND REMAIN ON. 3) CRUISE CONTROL STOPS WORKING. YOU CAN HAVE ONE, TWO OR ALL THREE OF THESE EVENTS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. ANY OF THE THREE CAN OCCUR FIRST. THEY CAN OCCUR EACH TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN FOR SOME WEEKS, THEN NOT OCCUR AT ALL FOR A FEW DAYS OR OCCASIONALLY EVEN WEEKS. CAN OCCUR AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES, SOMETIMES AFTER AN HOUR OR MORE OF DRIVING. SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER CONDITIONS, HOT, COLD, WET OR DRY.

I HAVE A 2010 MALIBU AND RECENTLY TOOK IT TOO THE DEALER FOR A SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT AND THEY INFORMED ME OF A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CORRECTED UNDER A RECALL, HOWEVER NOW THERE SAYING I NEED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT AIR BAG AND THE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE. THESE AIR BAGS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE ARE MANY 2010 MALIBU OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE 1245.87 FOR REPAIRS AND CANNOT SAY WHY THE FAILURE HAPPENED. A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE AIR BAG FAILURE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF INVESTIGATION ON TO WHY THESE AIR BAGS AND SEAT SENSORS ARE FAILING FOR NO APPARENT REASONS BESIDE THE POOR OR CHEAP QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS THERE INSTALLING. I THINK THAT GM NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THERE CARS AND TRUCKS AND NOT BRUSH OFF SUCH A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2011 AND HAD NOTICED A FEW TIMES DURING WINTER THAT WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIM AND THE HEATER FAN WOULD SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN. NOTHING REALLY EVER HAPPENED TO MAKE ME THINK THERE WAS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I WOULD NOTICE IT WOULD HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY THROUGH OUT THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. EARLY IN MARCH, 2013, I HAD NOTICED AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO GO TO WORK, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THERE WOULD BE A MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT JUST READ POWER STEERING. THIS WOULD ONLY LAST FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, AND THEN IT WOULD GO AWAY AND THE STEERING WOULD BE FINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE COLD WEATHER. ON FRIDAY, MARCH 15, I HAD STOPPED AT A FEW DIFFERENT PLACES, WAS HAVING NO ISSUES THAT I COULD TELL. I GOT INTO MY CAR TO LEAVE THE LAST STOP, STARTED THE CAR AND BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. I DIDN'T SEE A MESSAGE AT FIRST AND IT FELT LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER THERE WERE 4 DINGS AND THE DASH SAID POWER STEERING AGAIN AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY SLUGGISH. I'D BEEN HALF EXPECTING IT TO START WORKING AGAIN, BUT AFTER SPEAKING WITH A REP AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE, THEY TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ELECTRONIC ASSIST MOTOR ON THE RACK-AND-PINION HAD SHORTED, CAUSING A FUSE TO BLOW WHICH WAS SOMETHING GM HAD ALREADY PUT A RECALL OUT FOR OTHER VEHICLES, EXCEPT MY MODEL YEAR. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY RECALL THAT WAS OUT ON THE CAR AT THE MOMENT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR AND I WILL BE TAKING CARE OF THAT SOON. THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS TO SEE WHAT GM WILL COVER FOR REPAIRS, BUT HONESTLY I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR A PROBLEM THAT GM DIDN'T FIX RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 CHEVY MALIBU IN NOVEMBER OF 2010 AND THE CAR ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE IN JANUARY OF 2010. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. AT APPROXIMATELY 9 P.M. MY NEIGHBORS AWAKE ME TO NOTIFY ME THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. THEY HAD CALLED 911 AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD SHOWN UP SHORTLY AFTERWARD. THE FIRE CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I NOTIFIED AMERICAN CHEVROLET IN MODESTO, CA, WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOWED IT TO THERE DEALERSHIP. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN A DEFINITIVE ANSWER AS TO WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS, AND WHAT IS BEING DONE TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE OR REIMBURSE ME FOR MY COST. I HAVEN'T BEEN COMPENSATED EITHER FOR MY LOSS OF TRANSPORTATION. MY INSURANCE FIRST SAID THAT THE PROBLEM LIED WITH GENERAL MOTORS, BUT DUE TO THE PROLONG PERIOD OF TIME ARE NOW GETTING INVOLVED IN PAYING THE CAR, WHERE I WILL COME OUT LOOSING ALL MY INVESTMENT. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE, NOT INSIDE MY GARAGE WHERE THE CAR WOULD HAVE GOTTEN MY NEW HOME ON FIRES. I WORK GRAVEYARD AND WAS ASLEEP WHEN THE FIRE OCCURRED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RULED THAT IT LOOK TO BE A DEFECT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD TAKE A LARGE CORPORATION WOULD TAKE SO LONG TO RESOLVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS. *TR
