2010 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE 1 WEEK PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. RECALL #13036. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND WATCHED MY STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT NO REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. GM ALSO STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR TOWING OR A RENTAL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURE OF THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR 4 DAYS AT THIS POINT AND GM STATED THAT NO REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE YET AVAILABLE. MY CAR IS A SHINY PEICE OF JUNK THAT I CAN PAY FOR YET CANNOT DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT. I AM A VETERAN AND I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED. ALL OF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE DEFECTIVE PART. *JS

MY 2010 MALIBU IS NOW MAKING A CREAKY/CLUNKY NOISE WHEN STEERING INTO A TURN. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT SLOW SPEEDS. I KNOW THE POWER STEERING MOTOR HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN PRIOR MODEL YEARS. THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT / TRACTION CONTROL / CRUISE CONTROL ISSUES UNDER RECALL # 13036. THERE HAS BEEN NO DIAGNOSIS DONE ON THE POWER STEERING AS I WILL BRING THIS TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION WHEN I BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE KNOWN RECALL REPAIRS. THE CAR IS NOW GROUNDED UNTIL THE REPAIRS CAN BE MADE AS IT IS JUST TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. *TR

WHEN I START DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE STREET THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. IF I TAP THE PEDDLE THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS THE COME BACK ON AGAIN AND STAY ON. WHEN I TOUCH THE BRAKES TOSLOW DOWN THEY GO OFF AND DO NOT COME ON UNTIL I APPLY FULL PRESSURE TO THEM. THE TRACTION SERVICE LIGHTS COMES ON SPORADICALLY HAVE TAKEN THIS IN TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY CANT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECALL NOTICE ON IT. WHAT AM I TO DO. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO ME. *TR

FACTORY INSTALL STEEL RIM IS LEAKING AIR AT THE RIM WELD SEAL. UNREPAIRABLE AND POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PURCHASE CERTIFIED VEHICLE LAST YEAR (JUNE 2013) WITH A TWO (2) YEAR WARRANT. WAS INFORMED RIM WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AFTER ONE YEAR. *TR

LOW BEAM FRONT PASSENGER HEADLIGHT OUT. HAD HEADLIGHT REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ONLY FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OUT 1 WEEK LATER. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT NHTSA/GM FOR THIS PROBLEM. AFRAID FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT IN RAIN/FOG AND SO FOURTH, AS WELL AS A TRAFFIC FINE FOR DRIVING WITH ONE HEADLIGHT. PLEASE REFER TO NUMEROUS FORUMS ONLINE ( CHEVYMALIBUFORUM.COM & MOTOTREND.COM/CARS/2010/CHEVROLET/MALIBU WITH DRIVERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

IN JANUARY OF 2014 , MY FATHER NOTICED THERE WAS A HUGE DARK SPOT ON MY SIDE OF THE DRIVE WAY. SO LATER IN THE DAY I TAKE MY CAR TO VALVOLINE AND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT MY CARE IS LEAKING OIL. I TAKE THE CAR TO SALLAS AUTO SHOP AND THEY TELL ME THAT MY CARS AXEL SHAFT HAS A LOT OF PLAY, WHICH IS CAUSING THE AXEL SEAL TO LEAK, WHICH SHOULDNT BE THE CASE BECAUSE IT WAS REPAIRED BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY DEEM MY CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY HAVE ME LEAVE MY CAR AT THE SHOP SO THEY CAN FIX IT. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER ITS LEAKING AGAIN SO I TAKE IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY CANT REALLY FIGURE OUT WHY ITS STILL LEAKING SO THEY DO A FULL BODY INSPECTION AND FIND THAT, NOT ONLY HAS IT BEEN LEAKING BUT ITS BEEN SHOOTING SHRAP METAL INTO MY TRANSMISSION(CAUSING ME TO LATER HAVE TO ACTUALLY REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION). SO I TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE GUY I BOUGHT IT FROM AND HE TRIES TO FIX IT AND CLAIMS HE STOPPED THE LEAK. NOT TRUSTING HIS SKILLS I FINALLY TAKE IT TO CHEVY AND AFTER HAVING IT "FIXED" SEVERAL PRIOR TIMES, CHEVY ACTUALLY FIXES IT THIS TIME AROUND. APPARENETLY THERE IS A SPECIAL TOOL THAT HAS TO BE USED TO REPAIR THIS PARTICULAR PART THAT NOT A LOT OF MECHANICS HAVE, BUT CHEVY DOES. IVE DONE MY RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A FEW OTHER PEOPLE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE LEAK MY CAR WAS DEEMED UNDRIVABLE FOR PREVENTION OF AN ACCIDENT, I WAS OUT OF A CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AS WELL AS THE COSTS OF GETTING THIS PROBLEM REPAIR

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED. *TR

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AS DID THE ESC WARNING LIGHT. I TRIED TO ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK. WE STOPPED AT A REST AREA AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WE RESUMED OUR TRIP WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND TRAVELED FOR APPROX. 10 MINUTES. AT THAT POINT THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE CAR NOW, THE WARNING LIGHTS NOW COME ON WITHIN A QUARTER MILE. I SAW A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED.THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERS AND WILL BE REPAIRED. HOPEFULLY. I THINK MY CAR AND MANY OTHERS SHOULD BE UNDER A RECALL. *TR

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. THE BRAKE LIGHTS THEN COME ON WHEN I DO NOT HAVE THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED. WHEN I DO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY BRAKES CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THIS BEGAN. IT ALSO USES MORE GAS SINCE MY CAR THINKS I AM RIDING MY BRAKES AND PRESSING THE GAS ALSO. *TR

I DRIVE A CHEVY MALIBU 2010. AROUND 3 PM I HAD BARELY DROP OF MY WIFE AT HER WORK SITE. WHEN I WAS DOING A U TURN TO HEAD BACK HOME I HAD THE REVERSE GEAR TO BACK UP BUT HAS SOON HAS I PUT THE DRIVE GEAR MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I TRIED THE REST OF THE GEARS BUT NONE WORK. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BLOCKING TRAFFIC. MY CAR IS LIKE STUCK IN THE PARKING GEAR MODE AND EVEN THOUGH I TRY THE OTHER DRIVING GEARS NONE OF THEM WORK. I CALLED THE AGENCY AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO BRING IT IN. I TOLD THE AGENT TO DO ALL THE RECALL THAT WERE OUT FOR MY VEHICLE. THE AGENT SAID HE WOULD CALL ME WHEN THIS WAS DONE. IT'S BEEN 2 DAYS AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM MY CAR TILL THIS POINT. I WAS LOOKING UP THE RECALLS AND FOUND ONE WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT IT'S ONLY FOR CHEVY MALIBU 2013.THIS RECALL NUMBER IS 14048. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A RECALL FOR THE 2010 MODELS. THE MILES ON MY VEHICLE ARE APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 43,300. *TR

NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE AT RED LIGHTS AND/OR DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALER AND BECAUSE THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT REPLICATE OR GET AN ERROR MESSAGE I WAS DISMISSED. UPON DISMISSAL AT THE DEALERSHIP THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED AGAIN. I NOTIFIED ONSTAR AND REFUSED TO MOVE THE CAR WITHOUT A TOW. ONLY THEN DID MY DEALER BEGRUDGINGLY REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT BOLT IT DOWN. ANOTHER DEALER FINISHED THE REPAIR. I HAVE SINCE TRADED THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, CONSIDERING WHAT IS GOING ON WITH GENERAL MOTORS, THIS IS ANOTHER MODEL THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

REAR EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING. LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF WHEN BRAKE WAS SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED AND WOULD COME BACK ON WHEN PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED MORE FIRMLY. *TR

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 DON'T THINK THAT THEY HAVE AN APPARENT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AS I SEE SEVERAL REPORTS FROM VEHICLES RANGING FROM 2008 TO 2012 ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. IT IS INTERMITTENT. 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. I JUST HOPE I DO NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

POWER STEERING ASSIST SHAKES STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH WHILE OPERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEELS TURN RAPIDLY LEFT TO RIGHT. HAVE ALSO HAD TIMES IN THE PAST WHERE STEERING LIGHT CAME ON IN DASH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND POWER ASSIST STEERING DOES NOT WORK. SEEMS LIKE 2010 MODEL MALIBU SHOULD ALSO BE ADDED TO THE RECENT STEERING RECALL. *TR

STARTED THE CAR ONE MORNING AND HEARD A CHIME, THEN OBSERVED POWER STEERING WARNING ON THE DISPLAY. STEERING NEEDS MORE EFFORT THAN USUAL EVER SINCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGED AND SHUT OFF WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES.

MULTIPLE ERROR MESSAGES APPEARING IN DASHBOARD ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL WITH DASH COMPUTER GIVING OUT RANDOM ERROR MESSAGES STATING SERVICE AIRBAG AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON BURNED OUT MY BATTERY. GEAR SHIFT MAKES LOUD BOOMING NOISE WHEN PUTTING IN GEAR WHILE DRIVING CAR JOLTS AND HESITATES TO SHIFT GEARS. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO CHECK THE CAR DIAGNOSTIC WITHOUT CHARGING PER MODULE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CHEVY MALIBU LT (ECOTECH ENGINE), THE ENGINE STARTS TO STUTTER AND THE ESC SHUTS OFF AND CLAIMS IT NEEDS SERVICING. THE ESC WILL GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL. I HAVE HAD THE CODES READ MULTIPLE TIMES AND CHANGED MULTIPLE PARTS BUT TO NO AVAIL. IT KEEPS STATING THAT THERE IS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 1. HAVE CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS. THE STUTTERING HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, INCLUDING WHILE ACCELERATING AND IDLING. THERE'S ALSO BEEN TIMES OF TOUGH STEERING AS IF THE POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN IN LATE SPRING THROUGH SUMMER WHEN THE TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE ARE HIGHER. I HAVE CHECKED AND THERE IS NOT A CRACK IN THE HEAD GASKET OR THE HEAD. *TR

CAR WILL ALARM WITH "SERVICE ESCAPE" AND "SERVICE TRACTION" --- BRAKE LIGHTS WILL THEN WORK OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD. WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT BEING PRESSED THEY ARE LIT BUT WHEN BRAKES ARE PRESSED BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY BUT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AT A TIME. HAVE ALSO HAD CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGE ITSELF WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT APPROX 70 MPH-- CRUISE CONTROL CAME ON AND SPED THE CAR UP WITHOUT IT BEING SET -- DISENGAGED WHEN BRAKES PRESSED. *TR

WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE ON MY 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU, THE INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING" AND SERVICE ESC" AND WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE THE CAR, IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 200 FEET IN A PARKING LOT, I REALIZED STEERING WAS TOO DIFFICULT AND DRIVING THE CAR WAS UNSAFE. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND LUCKILY THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. HOWEVER, I HAD THIS PROBLEM REOCCUR AGAIN OVER 20 TIMES BETWEEN 2/2014 TO 4/2014. FOR MY OWN SAFETY AND FEAR THAT THE ISSUE COULD WORSEN AND APPEAR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING, I PROACTIVELY TOOK THE CAR INTO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. HERE IS THEIR DIAGNOSIS AND FIX: CAUSE CODE: C0545 TORQUE SENSOR CORRECTIVE ACTION: REPLACED STEERING COLUMN I HAVE ALSO OPENED A CASE# WITH GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND REPEATEDLY CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND RESOLUTION AS OUTLINED IN THE RECENT 31MAR2014 (ELECTRIC) POWER STEERING RECALL FOUND AT THE FOLLOWING LINK: [ HTTP://MEDIA.GM.COM/MEDIA/US/EN/GM/NEWS.DETAIL.HTML/CONTENT/PAGES/NEWS/US/EN/2014/MAR/0331-POWER-STEERING.HTML ]. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE, HOWEVER, INDICATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER/VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR. I AM CONTACTING THE NHTSA TO INFORM THEM THAT VEHICLES NOT LISTED UNDER THE ABOVE RECALL, NAMELY THE 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU, POTENTIALLY HAVE THE SAME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE ENGINE REDUCED POWER LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,906.

MY SERVICE ESC/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR WAS FLASHING. IT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL, THEN THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH TRAFFIC APPROACHING BEHIND ME. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND IT CAUSED MY BRAKE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE WHEN NOT DEPRESSED AND GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS WAS HAPPENING ALSO AS IT WAS LIGHT OUTSIDE AND I COULD NOT SEE. THE CAR STARTED AFTERWARD AND STILL PERIODICALLY STALLS OR DIES WHEN THE SERVICE ESC/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHTS UP. AS OF 6-13-14, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY VIN IS AFFECTED BY THE LATEST RECALL FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM. *JS

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY ROUGH TO TURN. ADDITIONALLY, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY AND THE BATTERY CONTINUED TO DRAIN PREMATURELY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION WAS UNSTABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE REAR SUSPENSION FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE SWAYED VIOLENTLY TOWARD THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND AS THE CONTACT APPLIED FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS ONLY PARTIALLY DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES AND THE JAWS OF LIFE WERE USED TO REMOVE AN INJURED PASSENGER FROM THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V460000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION AFTER THE CRASH OCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES SEVERAL TIMES BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. *TR UPDATED 3/3/15*CN UPDATED 07/06/2017 *CT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO MANEUVER AS THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

WHEN WE DRIVE THIS AUTO IN THE RAIN, OR AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH, THE CAR GOES INTO THE "LIMP" MODE AND THE SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON AND REMAIN ON UNTIL THE CAR DRIES AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 4 YEARS AND IT STILL DOES THAT. WE NEVER DRIVE IT IF WE KNOW IT WILL BE RAINING BUT AM AFRAID THAT IF WE DO DRIVE IT AND IT STARTS RAINING, THAT THE CAR WILL JUST STOP RUNNING. NEITHER I NOR THE DEALER KNOWS WHAT IS GETTING WET AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM BUT IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I SPOKE WITH [XXX] AT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS MORNING AND SHE SAID SHE HAS HAD OTHER CALLS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SHE DOES NOT KNOW IF ANYONE IS INVESTIGATING IT OR NOT. SHE ASKED IF I HAD NOTIFIED NHTSA AND I SAID I HAD NOT. SHE CONFIRMED THAT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO DO THAT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FOLLOWING THE RECALL FIX FOR ID#93696 I EXPERIENCED THE "SERVICE ENC" WARNING. A SHORT TIME LATER I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE "TRACTION" WARNING COMING ON. I NOW HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE. AND JUST RECENTLY I GET A INTERMITTENT DINGING SOUND, THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE SEATBELT WARNING, THAT COMES ON IN SPITE OF THE SEAT BELT BEING HOOKED SECURELY. I HAVE REPEATEDLY BROUGHT THESE ISSUES TO THE ATTENTION OF THE RUDA CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HAVE THEM BLOW ME OFF. I BECAME PERSISTENT AND CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY INSTRUCTED RUDA TO REPLACE THE BREAK PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. HOWEVER THIS FIX HAS NOT MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. I AM BECOMING INCREASINGLY CONCERNED REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THIS $27,000 VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT I MAY, AT SOME POINT, ALSO EXPERIENCE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES AS WELL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I AM A PANCREATIC CANCER PATIENT WHO HAS TO DRIVE 2 HOURS ONE WAY TO SEE MY SPECIALIST. I HAVE ENOUGH STRESS IN MY LIFE!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AND DIMMED DURING BRAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKES LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY DISENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES RECURRED SPORADICALLY. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURES UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL , EXTERIOR LIGHTING , SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC , VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 36,000.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN MY CAR STALLED. THE CABIN STARTED FILLING UP WITH SMOKE. THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. THE TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN. THE LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK. THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE TRUNK. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK WAS MELTING THE JUNCTION BOX AND MAIN BODY HARNESS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PICKED UP THE CLAIM AND MADE REPAIRS. THERE IS NOW A RECALL ON THESE CARS FOR THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. *TR

I CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS INCLUDED ON THE RECENT RECALL ISSUED MAY 14, HOWEVER THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE YET TO FIX. I WAS ALSO MADE AWARE THAT THIS RECALL FIX WOULD ONLY FIX THE BRAKE LAMPS AND THAT THE OTHER ISSUES I.E CRUISE CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND TRACTION CONTROL ARE NOT A PART THIS RECALL. 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. I HOPE THE NHTSA WILL FURTHER INVESTIGATE COMPLAINTS AND PRESSURE GM TO COMPLETELY FIX THESE DEFECTS IMMEDIATELY. *TR

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! THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THESE ITEMS IN MY CAR. *TR

TRANS APPEARS TO BE SLIPPING ...WHEN ACCELERATING CAR DOES NOT MOVE ..CAR BUCKS WHEN GEARS SHIFT. *TR

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, OCCURRING AT LEAST FIVE TIMES SINCE DATE ABOVE. ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS NOTED: 1. CRUISE CONTROL FAILS TO ENGAGE, OR STOPS ENGAGING. INDICATOR LIGHT ON (/OFF WHEEL TOGGLE SWITCH), BUT NO ENGAGE. 2. "SERVICE ESC" AND ALTERNATING "TRACTION CONTROL" WARNING WITH ALARM TONE ON SPEEDO CLUSTER. ORANGE WARNING TRIANGLE ILLUMINATED, ALSO. 3. BRAKE LIGHTS CONSTANT ON, WITH NO FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL. OR, BRAKE LIGHTS CAN GO OFF WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. CONFUSING, POSSIBLY DANGEROUS, TO DRIVERS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING. ONCE AWARE OF THIS, FASHIONED A REFLECTOR FITTING JUST BEHIND THE REAR TOP MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT THAT REFLECTS INTO MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR. THESE PROBLEMS CAN CLEAR AFTER CAR IS STOPPED FOR A TIME (OVER 45 MINUTES) AND MAY NOT APPEAR AGAIN FOR ANOTHER UNKNOWN INTERVAL. ALREADY REPLACED (MARCH 31, 2014) A BRAKE POSITION SENSOR SWITCH ($186.60 - MY COST) AT LOCAL SELLING CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THIS DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND WHEN ASKED, DEALER CLAIMED NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY TSBS OR OF OTHERS HAVING ISSUES SIMILAR. *TR

WHILE CAR IS ON. BRAKE LIGHTS WORK IN REVERSE. WHEN BREAK PEDAL IS PUSHED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. WHEN PEDAL IS NOT ENGAGED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. (WORKS IN REVERSE). SERVICE TRACTION, ECS WARING COMES ON. *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. WHEN CONTACTED THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY HAVE TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I EXPLAINED ABOUT THE VEHICLE RECALL AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. [XXX] ARE THEY WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR OR DEATH BEFORE THEY RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT THINK THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THEIRSELVES. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY THEM AGAIN IF THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE RESOLVED. I AM REALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THEM.
