THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS BEING USED AND WHEN YOU GO TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE CAR DOES NOT SLOW DOWN BUT REVS THE MOTOR UP AND WILL NOT LET YOU SLOW DOWN. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. IF YOU TAP THE BRAKES BUT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OR HIT THE CRUISE OFF BUTTON IT WILL FINALLY STOP. THIS COULD BE PUTTING US IN A REALLY BAD SITUATION IF YOU CANT GET IT STOPPED. ALSO THE ESC LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING ON DRY ROADS. I CALLED MY CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL 13036 WAS ALREADY DONE IN AUG 2014 IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS RECALL. IF SO IT DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE IT COSTS SOMEONE THEIR LIFE.

ONE DAY, DRIVING ON A FREEWAY MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN ACCELERATED OUT OF NOWHERE, THEN ON THE DASH SHOWED 'SERVICE ESC' THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' AND SHUT OFF. IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON AND I WAS ON THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A NEARBY SHOP WHILE I WAITED FOR HOURS TO GET THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED- TOTAL OF $560 AND MY CAR WORKED FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS THEN DID THE SAME THING, THIS TIME I WAS ON A SIDE STREET SO IT WAS MOSTLY JUST ANNOYING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR (FOR 6 MONTHS) AND CHEVY DEALERSHIPS WON'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT CHARGING ME A TON OF MONEY AND I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT ISSUE I'M HAVING ONLINE, IN THEIR TESTIMONIES, THEY'VE GOTTEN MULTIPLE THINGS 'FIXED' BECAUSE OF THE CODE THAT SHOWS UP, BUT THEN DAYS LATER IT'S THE SAME FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE, IT REVERTS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE OF CHEVROLET, AND I'M VERY UPSET THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE PUT SO MUCH MONEY, NOT TO MENTION EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAS, INTO A SEEMINGLY UNSOLVABLE PROBLEM, CAUSED BY A MISTAKE ON CHEVROLET'S PART. PLEASE DO SOMETHING, THANK YOU.

I WAS TOLD I NEED A THROTTLE BODY THIS CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND IS NOT PAID OFF TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH MALIBUS IN THE 2000'S THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR STALLS AND WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE TRACTION LIGHT COME ON AS WELL AT THE SAME TIME THESE LIGHTS COME ON. THIS IS DURING BRAKING, OR SITTING AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, OR AS I AM APPLYING THE BRAKE TO STOP BEHIND OTHER DRIVERS IT WILL CONTINUOUSLY JERK AND ALMOST TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN.

SEVERAL SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. THE SYSTEMS AFFECTED ARE THE RADIO CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, THE POWER STEERING, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE REAR DEFROST. THERE SEEMS TO BE A SHORT THAT GOES FROM SYSTEM TO SYSTEM. MODERN CHEVROLET IN WINSTON SALEM, NC SAID IT WAS A SHORT IN WIRES ON THE STEERING COLUMN THAT WAS CAUSING THIS. THERE ARE THREE RECALLS THAT WOULD DEAL WITH THIS. THE RECALLS ARE FOR STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL AND FINALLY WIRING. BOTH MODERN CHEVROLET AND CHEVROLET CORPORATE HAVE SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED DUE TO THE VIN #. I DO NOT SEE WHERE THAT MATTERS. IF A PART IS BAD THEN ALL VEHICLES THAT PART IS USED ON SHOULD BE COVERED NO MATTER WHAT. THE STEERING WAS THE MOST AFFECTED. THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS.

AFTER TRYING SEVERAL PARTS WHICH HAD TO BE ORDERED FINAL BILL WAS ADDITIONAL $455.71 I FEEL THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER RECALL BUT GM SAID IT WAS UP TO THE SERVICING DEALER WHETHER REPAIR QUALIFIED FOR COVERAGE! I FEEL THIS IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST TO HAVE THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT MAKE THE CALL. I'M HOPING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR ALL REPAIRS DUE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM. ALSO DUBIOUS AS TO WHETHER ALL THE PARTS WERE NEED! I ALSO WANTED TO GO ON RECORD ABOUT THIS IN CASE OTHER PEOPLE RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM.

I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID NOW I'M RESPONSIBLE TO FIX IT. I FEEL IF THEY DIDNT FIX IT THE FIRST TIME, THEY SHOULD FIX IT AGAIN. IT MAY HAVE BEEN A FAULTY REPLACEMENT PART FOR ALL I KNOW. I STILL HAVE 2 YEARS LEFT ON THE PAYMENTS, NOW LOOKING AT ELECTRICAL REPAIR??? ITS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND SHOULD BE COVERED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT, AND SHOULD REMAIN OPEN.

MY CAR WAS SERVICED FOR A RECALL TO REPAIR/REPLACE ESC AND TRACTION IN APPROX. NOVEMBER. AFTER MY CAR WAS SERVICED THE LIGHT CAME ON WEEKS LATER BUT WENT AWAY AND DIDN'T COME BACK ON UNTIL 3/5/2015. EVERY SINCE THAN THE GEAR SHIFT GETS STUCK WHEN IN PARK AND I HAVE TO CUT CAR OFF AND ON SOMETIMES IN ORDER FOR IT TO SWITCH FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE CAR DRIVES VERY SLUGGISH AS WELL SINCE THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WANTS TO BE REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS DUE TO RECALL FOR VEHICLE. *TA

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WOULD TURN OFF AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE (STEER). THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT HAS ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL MODULE WHICH WARMS UP AND CUTS OUT THE POWER STEERING. IT WILL DISPLAY "POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC" AND SYMBOL COMES ON. THIS IS AN UNEXPECTED ONGOING PROBLEM LIKE IN THE MORNING IT WILL BE O.K. BUT LATE IN THE AFTERNOON IT COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE MONTHS BEFORE AN APPOINTMENT COULD BE SCHEDULED.

2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BODY CONTROL MODULE RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND CAUSED HIM TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER WAS INJURED. THE CONSUMER SENT IN A RECALL NOTICE ALONG WITH HIS COMPLAINT. *JB

WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL IS ENGAGED WHEN YOU TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL AFTER A COMPLETE STOP IF THERE IS A LIGHT COATING OF MOISTURE ON THE ROAD SURFACE THE VEHICLE WILL SLIDE TO THE RIGHT. THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION AND THEY MADE NOTE OF IT. AS A RESULT I TURN THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF AS I AM AFRAID AN ACCIDENT MAY OCCUR. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, WHEN I'M APPROACHING A YELLOW LIGHT AND/OR A CAR THAT'S IN FRONT OF ME WHILE ONLY DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20MPH, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO APPLY MY BRAKES I HAVE TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO GET MY CAR TO SLOW DOWN AND IT HONESTLY FEELS AS THOUGH MY CAR ISN'T GOING TO STOP. I WOULD HATE TO BE DRIVING MY CAR ONE DAY AND MY CAR DOESN'T STOP AND I'M INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT THAT LEAVES ME SEVERELY INJURED OR TAKES MY LIFE AND/OR SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE AS WELL. ALSO, MANY TIMES I HAVE TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO MY GAS PEDAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO ACCELERATE AND ACTUALLY MOVE. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED AND THE DEALER IS WAITING FOR GM TO PROVIDE THEM THE PARTS IN ORDER TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T THINK MY LIFE SHOULD BE AT SUCH RISK WHILE WAITING FOR GM TO RECEIVE PARTS. AM I SUPPOSE TO JUST KEEP DRIVING AROUND HOPING MY CAR DOESN'T GIVE OUT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A KNOWN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD WITH MY VEHICLE? MY LIFE IS MORE VALUABLE THAN THAT. COULD I BE PROVIDED A RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL GM PROVIDES THE PARTS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE? OR COULD I BE REFUNDED FOR MY VEHICLE? SEEING THAT THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS CAR ACCIDENTS AND SERIOUS INJURIES RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR DEFECT WITHIN THE VEHICLE, I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. OTHERWISE, I COULD BE THE NEXT PERSON INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT. SO IN CLOSING, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I COULD BE PLACED IN A RENTAL CAR UNTIL MY CAR IS REPAIRED OR REFUNDED FOR THE PRICE OF MY VEHICLE? *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. IT HAD BEEN MISTING RAIN AND THE ROAD WAS SLIGHTLY DAMP... APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION HE REDUCED HIS SPEED TO APPROX 40 MPH. TWO CARS AHEAD OF HIM SLAMMED ON BREAKS WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED TO YELLOW. THIS CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION... CARS SLIDING TO PREVENT HITTING THE FIRST CAR. MY SON SAID THAT HE WAS BREAKING VERY HARD WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BREAKS ENGAGED... THEY PULSED 3-4 TIMES AND THEN RELEASED WHICH SHOT HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. HE SAID THAT HE WAS PUSHING THE BREAK AS HARD AS HE COULD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID THE AUTOMATIC CRASH RESPONSE SYSTEM WORK. I CALLED ON STAR TO SEE IF THE SYSTEM EVEN SHOWS A CRASH AND IT DOESN'T. I THINK THAT CONSIDERING THE CRASH BENT THE FRAME IN THE FRONT END AND IS IN EXCESS OF $6,000 YOU WOULD THINK THE SENSORS WOULD HAVE PICKED UP ON SOMETHING. AFTER THE CRASH I CONTACTED MY DEALER TO ASK IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NOT. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT THIS CRASH DID NOT RESULT IN A MORE SERIOUS INJURY / DEATH. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR IN THE LATER PART OF 2012 (USED WITH 40000MI) I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS STARTING WITH THE RADIO, WHEN I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST THE RADIO WOULD GO TO COMPLETE STATIC ON ALL STATIONS. WHILE TRAVELING APPROX. 30MPH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON THEN AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND RESTARTING THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AS WELL AS MINIMAL TURNING TO THE RIGHT THE SERVICE ESC LIGHT WOULD DISPLAY, IN ADDITION TO THE REMOTE START NOT WORKING HALF THE TIME, I HAVE REPLACED THE KEY FOB AND GOTTEN A NEW KEY AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM EXIST. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE RADIO WITH A BRAND NEW PART AND STILL THE STATIONS ARE NOT CLEAR AND WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR PARKED ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH SOMETIMES COME ON FOR SERVICE AND THE CAR WOULD IDLE LOW THEN HIGH. THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH WILL SOMETIMES COMPLETELY DIM AND THE DISPLAY ON THE RADIO WILL BE DIGITAL. MY CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 65000 MILES ON IT, AND STILL THE CAR SOMETIMES STALLS AT STOP SIGNS, WILL BE WITHOUT POWER AND THE SERVICE ESC DISPLAYS AS WELL AS SERVICE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT AT THIS POINT. TUESDAY MAY 6 2014 MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING APPROX. 25MPH ALL THE LIGHTS IN DASH CAME ON AND ENGINE STALLED ON HIM SO HE RESTARTED THE CAR, UPON RESTARTING ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DISPLAY TURNED OFF. SATURDAY MAY 10 2014 THE RADIO WAS COMPLETE STATIC...THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE, I KEEP MY GAS TANK PLENTIFUL AND HAVE ONLY OWNED GM VEHICLES. I AM RESEARCHING OTHER MAKES AT THIS POINT. *TR

STARTED MY 2012 CHEVY MALIBU UP AND POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND ALSO SERVICE ESC. CAR HAD NO POWER STEERING. THIS WAS AFTER THE FIRST NIGHT OF EVENTS I WAS AT. SO I DROVE IT TO THE HOTEL I WAS AT. FOUND OUT WHEN TRYING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THAT IT HAS A ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. DROVE IT TO A DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULDN'T SERVICE IT ON THE WEEKEND. I WAS 3 HOURS FROM MY HOME AT AN EVENT. SO I DROVE IT BACK TO MY HOTEL WITH NO POWER STEERING. SO I DROVE FOR ROUGHLY AN HOUR WITH LIGHTS ON AND NO POWER STEERING. THEN WAS ABOUT TO HEAD TO THE DAY TWO OF THE EVENT ABOUT 5 HOURS LATER AND EVERYTHING WORKS AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I NEED TO FIX ON IT AT ALL NOW. MY GIRL FRIEND WAS DRIVING WHEN THE POWER STEERING MESSED UP AND SHE NEVER HAS LOST POWER STEERING BEFORE AND SHE COULDN'T EVEN TURN THE WHEEL. SO I HAD TO DRIVE IT FOR HER. *JS
