2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU Service Brakes Problems

The issue I'm having is the traction light is on and my rear break lights stay on constantly. I took the car to a shop and had the break light switch replaced. Two days later the lights was back on. I did some research and there was a recall for the exact issue I'm have (NHTSA14V252) when I gave the Chevrolet dealership my VIN they said there were no recalls but there was three recalls but they are no longer open. Is there any thing I can do? Please help

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”

• Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. • The failure of the power steering system made it extremely difficult to steer the vehicle, especially at lower speeds, which put my safety and the safety of others at risk by increasing the likelihood of an accident. It would turn on and go off by itself at random spurts, which was very unusual. • No, the problem has not been reproduced by another dealer. • The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer’s service department. As well as, not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. • No it just randomly had a warning light one day when I got in it to crank it like a normal day. But never warned me before hand, but when it did come on, But it appeared on the dashboard indicating a power steering issue, and abs and brake warning light. The abs and brake warning light first appeared about two weeks before the complete failure of the system. Which I became without a vehicle for about 3 months because of it.

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.

Brake lights come on as soon as you start the car.Go off when press the brake pedal.Its like they are reversed or something.

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 .

Brake lights stay on when not even pressing the brake pedal. This causes cruise control to shut off too. Sometimes "Service ESC" and "Traction Control" light will come on randomly too. Had taken it to Chevy dealership multiple times to have this issue fixed but problems seems to come back after a few months.

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.

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 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?

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.

My 3rd brake light works intermittently. I have bought my car just over a year ago from a pre-owned dealership.

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

Recently I was almost rear-ended a few times and got curious as to why?? Well yesterday I was following my 2010 Chevy Malibu in another car and noticed that my brake lights stay on when I'm driving and go off when I brake. Very dangerous! I have read other complaints regarding this issue and I think a recall needs to be issued on these cars. It had also disabled my cruise control.

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

THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR KEEPS FAILING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN MOTION, RESULTING IN FAILED CRUISE CONTROL AND REVERSING MY BRAKE LIGHTS. WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS, THE CRUISE AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF, LIKE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED. WHILE ACTIVELY IN MOTION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AS IF THE PEDAL IS ENGAGED, HOWEVER THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF WHILE ACTIVELY BRAKING THE MOVING VEHICLE. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL BE TRIGGERED AND SAYS "SERVICE ESC" WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR FAILS. MY LOCAL CHEVORLET DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE SINCE THE SUMMER OF 2017, AND WILL NOT FIX IT. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH CHEVORLET DIRECTLY IN JULY 2019, AND WAS PROMPTLY DISREGARDED. THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED OVER 5 TIMES SINCE 2017.*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.

EVEN AFTER BRAKE LIGHT RECALL FROM 2014, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATING WHEN I'M NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND TURNING OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM 'FIXED' SEVERAL TIMES NOW, AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING. MOST RECENTLY, IN JANUARY 2019, AND NOW 6 MONTHS LATER, IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. WHILE I'M DRIVING (AND NOT ALWAYS WHILE I'M BRAKING), THE SERVICE TRACTION, SERVICE ESC, ESC OFF WARNINGS COME ON MY INFO DISPLAY, AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL IMAGE. FROM THAT MOMENT ON, WHILE I'M DRIVING AND NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALL ILLUMINATED. WHEN I LIGHTLY PRESS ON THE BRAKE, THE LIGHTS GO OFF, UNLESS I CONTINUE TO PRESS HARDER ON THE PEDAL, AND THEN THEY'LL COME ON AGAIN. THIS IS SUCH A HAZARD WHILE I'M DRIVING THAT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING? IF THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED WITH THE RECALL, IT ABSOLUTELY WASN'T. I'VE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE REPORT THE SAME ISSUE ON THE ONLINE FORUMS, SO I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW! I WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DID THE REPAIR IN JANUARY TO GET THIS FIXED AGAIN, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I SHOULD NEED TO. IT SHOULDN'T CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IF IT IS REALLY BEING FIXED. SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE.

I TOOK IT TO A SHOP, JUNE 2018, WHERE THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH, I STILL HAD THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP WHERE THE POOR GUY WORKED ON IT FOR 3 HOURS, TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

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... TWO DAYS LATER AND THIS ISSUE STARTED OCCURRING AND NOW TWO YEARS LATER AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED.

DROVE TO DEALER. WHEN I ARRIVED, THERE IS NO BRAKE FLUID LEFT. LUCKY I MADE IT TO THE DEALER. WAS TOLD EITHER PART NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY OR DEFECTIVE PART.

WE TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH THIS TIME. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE CHANGED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND STILL HAD THE PROBLEM. 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. I ASSUME IF THE BCM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THAT WOULD COST GM TO MUCH MONEY. I KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2004 ON MANY DIFFERENT MODELS. PLEASE HELP US.

VERY UNSAFE CAR TO DRIVE SINCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE TELLING THE DRIVERS BEHIND YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT STOPPING WHEN, IN FACT, YOU ARE STOPPING. WITH MORE AND MORE DISTRACTED DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, WHO RELY ON SEEING BRAKE LIGHTS IN THEIR PERIPHERAL VISION IN ORDER TO AVOID A COLLISION, THE DANGER IS INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY.

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.

AS I PULLED OUT FROM WORK, I NOTICED THAT AS THE CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOING INTO SECOND OR THIRD GEAR, THE RPM'S JUST REVVED. I WAS HEADING DOWN A HILL AT THE TIME, AND WHEN IT GOT TO AROUND 30-35 MPH, THE GEAR CAUGHT (THANK GOODNESS BECAUSE IT WAS STARTING TO GET A BIT SCARY AT THAT MOMENT) AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN LIKE NORMAL. I HAD A FEW STOP LIGHTS ALONG THE WAY HOME, AND EACH TIME THAT I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN STARTED DRIVING, THE SAME THING WOULD OCCUR. AS I GOT HOME, I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, DAVID STANLEY CHEVROLET HERE IN OKLAHOMA CITY, TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. IT SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR THE DURATION OF THE WEEKEND, AND THEN I TOOK IT IN THIS MORNING (MONDAY AUG.22ND) FOR MY APPOINTMENT. AS I WAS DRIVING FROM MY HOUSE TO THE DEALERSHIP (AROUND 8 MILES) I NOTICED THAT IT HAD GOTTEN WORSE. A FEW TIMES ON THE TRIP I DID NOT THINK THAT IT WAS GOING TO MAKE IT THE WHOLE WAY THERE AND THEN ABOUT A MILE OR SO FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LATER, I HAD TO GO IN REVERSE AFTER I ARRIVED AND FOUND THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. I DROPPED IT OFF TO HAVE THEM DO THE DIAGNOSTIC ON IT FOR $120. AS I GOT HOME, MY WIFE AND I DID SOME RESEARCH ON OUR CAR, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT MIGHT BE WHILE THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS TAKING PLACE. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I WAS SHOCKED BY WHAT I FOUND.

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. MORE DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

THE ORIGINAL RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IS 13036, THIS INVOLVED THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONING DUE TO A FAULTY CONNECTOR AND OR CONNECTION. GM INSTRUCTED THEIR PERSONNEL TO CLEAN THE PART, APPLY CORROSIVE RESISTANT GREASE TO IT AND REATTACH. THE ISSUE IS, THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AND THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO MANIFEST ITSELF UNLESS THE ENTIRE HOUSING IS REPLACED (AT A COST OF ALMOST 600.00). I TOOK MY CAR FOR THE RECALL "REPAIR" IN SEPT OF 2014, THE THIRD WEEK OF JUNE 2015 MY BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED WORKING IN REVERSE ORDER AGAIN. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, NOT CLEANED. THE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID AS MUCH, TELLING ME THAT CLEANING IT WOULD HELP IN THE SHORT TERM BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MONTHS, IF THAT. THAT MEANS THAT GM IS ALLOWING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO DRIVE THESE CARS KNOWING FULL WELL THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTING SYSTEM IS SUBJECT TO FAILURE, WHICH IS VERY HARD FOR THE DRIVER TO DETECT. PLEASE REOPEN THIS RECALL, OR OPEN A NEW ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED CORRECTLY, JUST THINK OF A MALIBU WITH A FAMILY IN IT STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE SEMI COMING UP BEHIND THEM DOESN'T KNOW TRAFFIC IS STOPPED BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON, THE DRIVER OF THE MALIBU HAS NO CLUE THAT THEIR LIGHTS ARE WORKING IN REVERSE ORDER, YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW TRAGIC THE ENDING OF THAT STORY COULD BE.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM RECALL # 13036 BUT ONCE THEY REPAIR IT, THEY CONSIDER THE RECALL CLOSED EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

ESC SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED 100 % OF THE TIME, AND CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. THE DEALER DID THE RECALL A YEAR AGO AND NOW I HAVE THESE ISSUES. REPLACED BRAKE POSITION AND REPROGRAM FOR $140 BUT DIDN'T FIX. DEALER NOW WANTS TO REPLACE ABS MODULATOR VALVE, BCM, AND ABS CONTROL MODULE FOR 1450.

IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

WHENEVER I PRESS THE GASS AND I LET IT GO THE CAR KEEPS GOING AND WHEN I TRY TO STOP THE CAR TAKES LONGER TO STOP BECAUSE THE ENGINE TRY TO KEEP GOING SO I HAVE TO PRESS THE BREAK HARDER AND WHEN FINALLY STOPS AFTER LIKE 5 MINUTES THE CAR GOES NORMAL.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT NORMAL TRAVELING SPEED THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SHUTS OFF AND THE CAR GOES INTO MANUAL STEERING WHICH MAKES THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS AND HAS MADE ME ARK THE CAR BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS FAR TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THIS STARTED OCCURRING FEBRUARY15TH AND CONTINUED UNTIL I PARKED THE CAR ON FEB2ST.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL , EXTERIOR LIGHTING , SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC , VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) AND INDICATED THAT MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR, A FAILURE RELATED TO THE RECALL WAS EXPERIENCED AND THAT THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED TO DETER THE FAILURE FROM OCCURRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT APPLIED, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE, AND THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

MY 2010 CHEVY MALIBU,[XXX], THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDDLE IS NOT ENGAGED.

NOW MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME I JUST HOPE NOBODY RUNS INTO THE BACK OF ME. WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. MY INSIDE LIGHT DOESN'T WORK WITH THIS HAPPENING TO MY CAR.

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 HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE GM DEALER THREE TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. EACH TIME THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD REPAIRED THE "BRAKE SIGNAL" AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, EVEN WITH THE CURRENT RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, WHEN I CALLED GM DEALER LAST WEEK, THEY STATED THAT THE "CHARGES WOULD BE AT LEAST $150 TO CONNECT TO THE COMPUTER AND RUN DIAGNOSTICS". WELL, SINCE I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $500 FOR THE LAST 3 VISITS, WHERE THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO ME AND FIXED SOMETHING WAS NOT TORN UP, WHY WOULD I WASTE MONEY ON THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL.. GM STATES THAT THE RECALL IS NOT FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD FOR ONE YEAR ARE THE SAME PROBLEMS THEY ARE RECALLING THE 2010 CHEV MALIBU FOR AT THIS TIME. SUPPOSEDLY, THEY WILL RECALL MINE LATER.. I GUESS I JUST WAIT AND HOPE I DO NOT HAVE A WRECK UNTIL THEN. DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT ANY SPEED, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY FEEL AS IF I HAVE PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUMPED IT. THE ESC AND SERVICE TRACTION LIGHTS THEN COME ON.

FIRST OCCURRENCE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON FOR ESC OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ESC AT 50 MPH. AT FIRST IT WOULD ONLY COME ON ONCE EVERY COUPLE WEEKS BUT NOW IT COMES ON ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT VARIES (SPEED DOESN'T MATTER) WHETHER OR NOT GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR STOPPING IN A DRIVEWAY WHEN IT COMES ON BUT WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHEN YOU TOUCH THE BRAKES. I ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD (WHEN ITS DARK OUTSIDE) BUT WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. I FEEL THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING BEHIND YOU AND THINKS THAT YOU HAVE LET OFF THE BRAKES BUT YOU ARE ACTUALLY SLOWING DOWN.

WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AFTER THIS OCCURS THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. SOMETIMES ONLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OTHER TIMES FOR A WEEK WEEKS BEFORE IT COMES ON AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WERE NO HELP, DIDN'T EVEN TEST DRIVE IT. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED, OTHER PERSON IN CAR SCREAMING AT ME, YELLING I HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS.

FIRST OCCURRENCE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON FOR ESC OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ESC AT 50 MPH. AT FIRST IT WOULD ONLY COME ON ONCE EVERY COUPLE WEEKS BUT NOW IT COMES ON ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT VARIES (SPEED DOESN'T MATTER) WHETHER OR NOT GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR STOPPING IN A DRIVEWAY WHEN IT COMES ON BUT WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHEN YOU TOUCH THE BRAKES. I ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD (WHEN ITS DARK OUTSIDE) BUT WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. I FEEL THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING BEHIND YOU AND THINKS THAT YOU HAVE LET OFF THE BRAKES BUT YOU ARE ACTUALLY SLOWING DOWN.

I AM ISSUING ANOTHER COMPLAINT DUE TO READING MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. THIS IS A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, NOT TO MENTION WITH THE BRAKE LAMPS STAYING ILLUMINATED AND TURN OFF WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED CURRENTLY. THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL SINCE THE ISSUES INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED AND HAS MADE ME A DISSATISFIED GM OWNER.

ALL IN ONE WEEKEND (WHILE OUT OF TOWN) FIRST THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO CRUISE CONTROL COMMANDS (ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE) IF ENGAGED THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS. THE SERVICE ESC LIGHT KEEPS COMING OFF AND ON AT RANDOM WHILE EITHER SITTING OR DRIVING. THE ESC TRACKING IS TURNED OFF. BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE RANDOMLY WHEN MY FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKES. TAPPING THE BRAKES GETS THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF, BUT IT TURNS ON AGAIN 5-6 SECONDS LATER. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN OR TAP THE BRAKE THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ONLY COMING ON WHEN I'M AT A COMPLETE HARD STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE OVER A 40 MINUTE COMMUTE INTO THE CITY EACH DAY. ALSO, THE SEATBELT LIGHT AND BEEPING IS ON EVEN WHEN MY SEATBELT IS SECURED. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THESE ITEMS REPLACE, AND I HAVE 4 YEARS TO PAY ON THIS CAR!

SO ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO THE SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY AND DIDN'T COME BACK ON FOR A WHILE. THEN ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO IT STARTED GOING OFF ALMOST EVERYTIME I DROVE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT IN KANNAPOLIS, NC CALLED CLASSIC CHEVROLET ON 5/3/14. THEY SAID I COULD PAY 98.00 TO GET IT HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER READER, BUT THE LIGHT WAS OFF SO I DECIDED I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE 98.00 TO WASTE. AS IT HAD BEEN HOOKED UP TO A CODE READER WHEN THE LIGHT WAS OFF BEFORE AND DIDN'T READ ANYTHING. THERE IS AN OPTION TO TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL SO I WAS DRIVING WITH IT OFF. WE WENT TO MICHIGAN ON 5/8/14 IT WAS DRIVING FINE. LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. WHEN WE WERE IN MICHIGAN IT STARTED GOING ON AGAIN, AGAIN DRIVING WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. IT WAS HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER AND NO CODES CAME UP AND LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF AND NEVER CAME BACK ON OUR WHOLE WAY HOME. NOTHING FELT OR SOUNDED DIFFERENT WITH THE DRIVING. DRIVING FINE TO DROP OFF OUR SON AT PRACTICE THIS MORNING 5/17/14, TURNED ON CAR TO GO PICK HIM UP AND COULDN'T REVERSE, BUT WOULD GO FORWARD. I HAD MY HUSBAND AND HIS BROTHER PUSH US OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND IT WAS DRIVING FINE FOR THE FIRST 3 BLOCKS, THEN STARTED TO CHUG AND WOULDN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY LEAVING A STOP LIGHT. I TURNED AROUND ON A CIRCLE DRIVE. WE LIVE ON A CULDESAC SO I PULLED AHEAD OF OUR HOUSE, SO WE COULD PUSH IT BACK IN THE DRIVE WAY. WHEN MY HUSBAND CAME BACK OUT IT WAS LIKE LOCKED, WE COULDN'T PUSH IT IN REVERSE. THEN IT WOULDN'T GO FORWARD. MY HUSBAND UNHOOKED THE BATTERY AND WAS ABLE TO REVERSE WITH STRUGGLE AND PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY WITH STRUGGLE. DURING ALL OF THIS, THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN ILLUMINATING WHEN NOT BEING PUSHED AND SOMETIME THEY DON'T EVEN WORK. *JS

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CRUISE STOPPED WORKING. SHORTLY AFTER THAT HAPPENED THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. A MESSAGE APPEARED TO HAVE THOSE ITEMS SERVICED. THIS LASTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY 20 MINUTE DRIVE. I STARTED THE VEHICLE BACK UP AFTER SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND THE LIGHTS WERE OFF AND NO MESSAGE. THIS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES UNTIL DECEMBER. I DID NOT NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON UNTIL I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT.

IT RECURRED AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IN WHICH HE REPLACED THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED. I AM STILL HAVING THIS OCCURRENCE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS TO HAVE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. EVERY TIME THEY WANT A FEE PLUS REPAIR CHARGE. THEY ARE MAKING MONEY BOTH BY CAR PAYMENT AND REPAIRS. WHAT THE HELL???

ON THIS DATE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO DEPART ON VACATION. I GOT IN MY CAR WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT CRANK. IT WAS IN PARK. I INSTRUCTED MY WIFE TO CALL AAA. WHILE SHE WAS GONE I OPENED THE DOOR TO TRY AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. FOOLISHLY I GOT BEHIND THE CAR TO STOP IT AND GOT SANDWICHED BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE NEIGHBORS. I BROKE BOTH MY LEGS, HAD SURGERY AND WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR A MONTH AND AM HAVING THERAPY AND CANNOT WALK OR WORK. I REPORTED THIS TO GM IN LIVONIA MICHIGAN AS INSTRUCTED BY MY DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING. SINCE THEN TWICE THE CAR HAS BEEN IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND HAS STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARD. SINCE I CANNOT WORK AND COULD NOT PAY MY BILLS I HAVE HAD TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. *JS

THIS CAR HAS HAD A HISTORY OF MALFUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS, ESC AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURES OVER THE PAST YEAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT REPAIRING THE ROOT CAUSE. IN MAY THE CAR WAS REAR ENDED CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY MAY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR. THE BRAKE LIGHTS OPERATE SPORADICALLY. THE CAR IS NOT CURRENTLY SAFE TO DRIVE AFTER SPENDING LAST WEEK AT A DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. BEING A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER IT IS MY OPINION THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL ENGINEERING DESIGN DEFICIENCIES THAT ARE NOT ADDRESSED BY THE REPAIR PROCEDURES LISTED WITHIN THE SERVICE MANUAL. I RECOMMEND THAT THESE CARS BE RECALLED AS A CAR WITH NO KNOWN PROBLEM CAN DEVELOP THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT WARNING PLACING THE DRIVER IN HARMS WAY.
