2010 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING GOT REALLY HEAVY, AND TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL FELT NOTCHY, LIKE THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WAS FIGHTING ME. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. A TRIANGLE SHAPED YELLOW WARNING LIGHT CAME UP. I THINK THE WARNING MESSAGE BELOW IT WAS ESC TRACTION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR AND LETTING IT REST FOR 1.5 HOURS, THE CAR STARTED AND THE STEERING WORKED LIKE NORMAL. NO WARNING LIGHT, MESSAGE, OR ISSUES. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME MODEL YEAR MALIBU. THIS CAR HAS 85K MILES ON IT.

POWER STEERING LOCKS WHEN DRIVING AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN ON THE DASH IT SAID "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" ALONG WITH "SERVICE ESC". ENGINE WOULD RUMBLE SO I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO CUT ENGINE OFF A FEW TIME UNTIL THE DASH CLEARED BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED.

MY CAR KEEPS POPPING UP SERVICE ESC, ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND SERVICE TRACTION LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON. HAVE HAD FIXED 3 TIMES AND SILL KEEPS HAPPENING. WHILE VEHICLE IS DRIVING IT WILL DIE FOR NO REASON, ONCE STARTED BACK UP SOMETIMES IT STOPS OTHER TIMES STARTS SHAKING AND AS NO POWER.

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, I MADE IT HOME SAFELY THEN THE NEXT DAY CAR DROVE AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG, POWER STEERING FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE FOLLOWING DAY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN AS I WAS TURNING THE CORNER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, THEN IT DROVE FINE UNTIL I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. FOR THE LAST 4 DAYS IT HAS BEEN GOING IN AND OUT AT WILL.

WHILE DRIVING ESC LIGHT CAME ON POWER STEERING ISSUE DISPLAYED AND POWER STEERING FAILED. STOPPED AND TURNED CAR OFF; UPON RESTART NO ISSUE.

PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED IT 3 TIMES THIS YEAR ALREADY. DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH 1 LOW BEAM WORKING IS DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED LEFT TO RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT. ETC LIGHT COMES ON AND FLASHES POWER STEERING FAILURE. UPON READING, GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS BUT OUR DEALER HAS NO RECALL INFORMATION ON THIS. SAFETY ISSUE, COULD LEAD TO A CRASH

WE ONLY HAVE CHEVY'S HOWEVER OUR MALIBU 2010 WITH ONLY 73,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH IT SUDDENLY STOPPED GOING. YOU CAN ACCELERATE BUT IT DOESN'T NOT GO FORWARD OR BACK. IT WAS LATE WHEN IT WENT OUT AND A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. OUR CAR WAS PURCHASED AND MAINTAINED FROM DEALER AND AT THIS MILEAGE WITH NO WARNING, NO NOISE, NO FLUID LEAK, NOTHING. SITUATION IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I'M NOT SURE I'M A GM FAN ANYMORE WE WILL SEE HOW THE RESPOND TO THIS SITUATION.

DOOR LOCKS DON'T UNLOCK THE DOORS TRAPPING OCCUPANTS INSIDE THE CAR. MANUAL OR ELECTRICAL DON'T WORK. MODULES ARE DEFECTIVE, AND MANUAL LOCK PULL DOES NOT WORK EITHER. VEHICLE COULD BE RUNNING OR NOT RUNNING-STILL DOES NOT WORK. IF YOU ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND TRY THE OUTSIDE HANDLE, STILL DOES NOT WORK. SOLENOID, IN THE DOORS MAKE A SOUND LIKE THE DOORS UNLOCK, BUT THEY DON'T. MAYBE ONE IN THE BACK WILL WORK, BUT VERY DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. YOUR STUCK WITH NO OPTIONS TO GET OUT. THIS IS A VERY SEVER SAFTY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS. TRIED TO BUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, AND BACK INTO PARK AND TURN OFF THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO LUCK. TRIED TO ROCK THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH DOES NOT HELP. BELIEVE THE MODULES ARE DEFECTIVE. DOOR PULLS FOR UNLOCKING THE DOORS SHOULD STILL WORK, EVEN IF THE POWER WAS LOST. THEY DO NOT. TRIED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND STATIONARY. BECAUSE I WAS STUCK IN THE CAR, I WENT AROUND THE BLOCK WONDERING IF IT WAS A CHARGING PROBLEM. IT'S NOT, AFTER GOING AROUND THE BLOCK AND PULLING BACK INTO THE DRIVE WAY, THEY STILL DID NOT WORK. WHEN CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND TRIED TO UNLOCK THE DOORS STILL DID NOT WORK. HAD TO CHECK THE BACK DOOR AND FOUND IT FINALLY WORKED. HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE FRONT SEAT AND CRAWLED OUT THAT WAY. WAS STUCK IN THE CAR FOR 25 MIN. COULD NOT DO ANYTHING.

THE BULB ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS GONE OUT MULTIPLE TIMES. HAVE HAD TO PAY $150 PLUS BULBS EACH TIME AS YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE BUMPER OFF. EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BULB THIS TIME IT DIDN'T WORK. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS.

TIMING CHAIN BOLTS SHEERED OFF, CAUSING CHAIN TO COME OFF AND OTHER THINGS TO BREAK, RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY.

THE CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU LOSS YOUR BRAKES AND WHEN YOU HAVE IT CHECKED IT PUTS UP DIFFERENT CODES EVERY TIME IT'S CHECKED AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU CHANGE IT KEEPS DOING IT AND YOU TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND THEY JUST WANT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING IT SAYS AND CHARGE YOU A ARM AND LEG AND IT STILL DOES FIX IT

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THEN WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. IT'S A SCARY THING BECAUSE IT REALLY CONFUSES THE CARS BEHIND ME.

MY 2010 CHEVY MALIBU IS LOSING POWER STEERING DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE SERVICE ECM IS DISPLAYING AND THEN THE POWER STEERING FAILURE IS ON THE DASH. I CAN GET THE POWER STEERING TO TURN BACK ON ONCE I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN BUT IT CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF.

CAR JUST STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING! VERY SCARY SITUATION! FORTUNATELY NO OTHER CAR CRASHED INTO ME BUT THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A LIKELY SCENARIO. NOT ONLY A COSTLY REPAIR BUT AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. $3400 TO REPAIR! APPARENTLY AND UNFORTUNATELY I'M NOT ALONE. CHEVY SHOULD STEP UP AND HELP US ALL OUT. LIKE MANY OTHERS, NEVER A CHEVY AGAIN!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 129,642.

I FOUND A COMPLAINT BEFORE ABOUT THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT ON MY CAR. TODAY IS OCTOBER 17TH 2018 THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT ABOUT 5:50 IN THE MORNING MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN AND THE WHEEL LOCKED UP AND TURNT THE CAR ONTO A CONSTRUCTION SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SHE TELLS ME THAT EVERY LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED FLASHING THEN IT WENT AWAY AND SAID ESE, NO POWER STEERING, SERVICE, NO TRACTION. SHE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND EVERYTHING WORKED AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONE TIME AND EACH YEAR IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE.

2010 CHEVY MALIBU BRAKE LIGHT ON WITHOUT BRAKE BEING APPLIED CAR SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON AND SERVICE ESC I BELIEVE IT'S DUE TO A BAD BODY CONTROL MODULE

THE BRAKES LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE ALERT COMES ON THE DASH ALSO. CONCERNED THAT NUMEROUS IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS FOUND ON THE CAR COMPLAINTS WEB SITE NOTING THE DEALERS HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. MEANWHILE, OCCUPANTS ARE AT RISK OF REAR COLLISION DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS NOT COMING ON DURING BRAKING.

TAKATA RECALL. MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHTS ON THE LOW BEAM SETTING KEEP GOING OUT. I CHANGED MY LIGHTBULB TWO MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS ALREADY GONE OUT. I SAW THAT IT WENT OUT A FEW WEEKS AGO BUT WHEN I WAS GOING TO GET SOMEONE TO CHANGE IT, THINKING THE THE SHOP GAVE ME A BAD BULB, THE HEADLIGHT CAME BACK ON. THE SAME THING HAPPENED LAST WEEK ALSO THE LIGHT WAS OUT AND I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND I HEARD MY CAR CLICK LIKE THE LIGHTS WERE COMING ON WHEN I STOPPED I NOTICED BOTH LOW BEAM LIGHTS WERE ON AGAIN. CURRENTLY MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT IS NOT WORKING, ALL OTHER LIGHTS ARE WORKING FINE

POWER REDUCED ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL,

THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING DEPRESSED AND GOES OFF WHEN IT IS BEING DEPRESSED. THIS DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL AND ALSO THE SERVICE ESC LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT HAPPENS. THE 2014 RECALL WAS DONE BY THE DEALER AND YET THE PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. THERE WAS AN UPDATE TO THE RECALL AND THIS WAS ALSO DONE BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY AND RANDOMLY.

SERVICE ESC, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE AIR BAGS, BRAKE LIGHTS ON WHEN PEDAL NOT PRESSED AND NOT ON WHEN PEDAL IS PRESSED AND CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK PERIODICALLY. THESE MESSAGE APPEAR OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE SENSOR UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL REPLACED TWICE NOW. LAST TIME 14 MONTHS AGO SO NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN.

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. REPLACED BULB MULTIPLE TIMES, 100/HR SHOP LABOR JUST TO TAKE OFF BUMPER TO GET TO BULB. AT THIS POINT A TICKET WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD A CLICKING NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONSTANTLY MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH WAS EXTREMELY TIGHT WHEN TURNING IT IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE DEALER (ROSS DOWNING CHEVROLET, 600 S MORRISON BLVD, HAMMOND, LA 70403, 866-206-4720) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN 2014 PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14E044000 (STEERING). SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY CURRENT RECALLS, THE DEALER DID NOT OFFER TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP, BUT THE CLICKING NOISE AND STEERING WHEEL FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED ONE RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE WITH 11 TSBS FOR THE STEERING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,497.

HAVE A 2010 MALIBU WITH APPROXIMATELY 112,000 MILES ON IT. CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE / VEHICLE INSPECTIONS (INCLUDING A WEEK PRIOR TO INCIDENT). I WAS OUT RUNNING ERRANDS AND HAD STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. A FEW MINUTES LATER AS I WAS TURNING ON TO THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR JOLTED FORWARD AND THEN REFUSED TO ACCELERATE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. VERY COSTLY REPAIR THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE AS IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH 2010 MALIBUS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!!!

THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. I HAVE REPLACED THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT 3 TIMES AND IT IS OUT AGAIN. WITH THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE AND HAVING TO REMOVE THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO CHANGE THE LIGHT IS GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE AND INCONVENIENCING.

HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS CONTINUE TO GO OUT. NOT BURNING OUT BUT GOING OUT PREMATURELY. HAVE TO BE CHANGED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH.

THE STOP LAMPS COME ON ALL BY THEMSELF, IF THE LAMPS ARE ILLUMINATED THEY WILL TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THIS ALSO AFFECTS THE TRACTION CONTROLS AND STABILITY CONTROL, THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO CRUISE CONTROL BECOMES INOPERATIVE. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AND HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER THEY'VE CAPPED IT AT 150,000 MILES WHICH PUTS ME OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN I SPOKE TO GM THEY ADMITTED THIS AND SAID BECAUSE I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER I WOULDN'T BE NOTIFIED. THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP!

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY OUT OF NOWHERE POWER ENGINE REDUCED WOULD COME UP ON THE DASH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND TRANSMISSION AND TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS WOULD SHOW ON DASH AS WELL ALSO POWER STEERING SHOW ON DASH AND THE CAR JERK A LITTLE AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL HAND WOULDN'T MOVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,615.

I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A HIGH REVVING SOUND AS IF ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS RIGHT BESIDE ME PASSING AND SOON REALIZED THAT IT WAS MY CAR REVVING WITH THE RPM GAUGE GOING ABOVE 3 AND MY CAR SLOWING DOWN. MOMENTS LATER MY PASSENGERS AND I FELT A SUDDEN "JERK" AND THE CAR JETTED FORWARD ONLY TO START REVVING AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS MERELY MOVING AT ABOUT 20 MPH AS I WAS STILL IN SHOCK FROM THE FIRST REVVING AND NON-ACCELERATING MOMENT. AFTER TRYING HELPLESSLY TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE AT A SPEED OF AT LEAST 15-20 MPH, I DECIDED TO STOP/RESTART THE CAR AND TRY USING THE MANUAL SHIFT. IT GAVE ANOTHER SUDDEN "JERKING" MOVEMENT AND MOVED IN M5 BUT NOT EVEN 10 SECONDS THE CAR STARTED WITH THE LOUD REVVING SOUND AS IF I WERE MASHING GAS WHICH I WASN'T AND WE BARELY MADE IT HOME AT ABOUT 10MPH USING HAZARD LIGHTS. WE BASICALLY HAD TO PUSH IT OVER 2 VERY SMALL SPEED BUMPS ON THE WAY IN THE GATE. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE AUTONATION SHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND INSTEAD HAD TO BE TOWED THERE. AUTONATION CHEVY DID A "DIAGNOSIS" OF SORTS AND WITHIN MOMENTS CALLED TO SAY THAT THERE IS METAL IN THE TRANSMISSION AND I NEED TO PAY A WHOPPING $4,300.00 TO HAVE IT FIXED. OF COURSE I COULD GO ON ABOUT HOW FRUSTRATING AND HUMILIATING THIS WHOLE ORDEAL HAS BEEN FROM BEGINNING TO $$$$ END BUD I'D APPRECIATE IT IF CHEVY CAN REACH OUT TO ME BECAUSE I HAVE A FRIEND WHO SAID SHE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER MALIBU. I'M

I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE THE AC DELCO HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR PART NUMBER: 17833-05421850 BRAND: AC DELCO NOTES: PROFESSIONAL -- NEW; LOW BEAM; BLACK AND BLUE; 2 TERMINAL. FEMALE ABOUT 4 TIMES A YEAR. IT'S NOT AN EASY JOB TO GET TO THE LIGHTS IN THE FIRST PLACE SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE IN THE DARK WITH ONE HEADLIGHT. I WORK ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN AND DRIVE THROUGH FIELDS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH ONE HEADLIGHT. I SEE SO MANY MALIBU'S WITH ONE HEADLIGHT ONCE I GET INTO THE CITY SO I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST MY CAR. I ALSO SEE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING IN ONLINE CAR FORUMS. WHAT CAN BE DONE? I JUST REPLACED THIS PART ON JULY 6TH, 2018, AND BY JULY, 24TH, 2018 THE PART HAS BURNED OUT AGAIN AND I'M LEFT WITH ONE HEADLIGHT. PLEASE HELP, I FEEL SO TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE INCREASED TO 4,000 AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND WAVE PLATE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

SERVICE ESC, SERVICE TRACTION, PICTURE OF CAR SKIDDING, TIRES NEED AIR AND PICTURE OF TIRE THAT LOOKS FLAT KEEPS COMING UP ON MY PANEL. THIS NEVER HAPPENED PRIOR TO HAVING NEW TIRES AND BRAKES PUT ON MY CAR AT HENDRIX CHEVROLET IN DURHAM, NC. I ONLY HAVE 40+ THOUSAND MILES ON MY CAR. AT 20,000 MY RIGHT FRONT ROTAR AND BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACE BECAUSE IT WAS ROARING AND I LITERALLY HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOME. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW WHEN MY SON WORKED AT HENDRIX (THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA). HE WASN'T WORKING THERE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT HE FIXED IT AND THEN HENDRIX SAID THEY COULD NOT REIMBURSE ME BECAUSE HE WASN'T A CURRENT EMPLOYEE. 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!

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" DISPLAYS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM IS PART OF A RECALL IN 2014 THAT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. I GOT A FOLLOW NOTICE THAT STATED THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM THE "BRAKE " LIGHT ISSUE COULD COME BACK AND THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR UP TO 10 YEARS. CHEVY STATES THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL.

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. IHTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/CHEVROLET/MALIBU/2010/HEADLIGHTS-PROBLEMS.PHP I WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS WAS NOTICED AS I WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE. ISSUE IS STILL THERE WHEN CAR IS PARKED.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A CITY STREET, WITH MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND QUICKLY DECELERATED TO ABOUT 10 MPH. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND I JUST THOUGHT WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE I REGULARLY DRIVE. THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME.

EVERYTIME I TURN LEFT THERE IS SOME KIND OF CLICKING GRINDING NOISE.

MY 2010 MALIBU 2LT 6 CYLINDER ENGINE HAS A WAVE PLATE FAILURE. THIS CAUSES REVVING OF THE ENGINE NON-MOVEMENT LOW SPEEDS AND IT COMES AND GOES AS IT WANTS. GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT INCLUDED THIS EVEN THOUGH THIS CAR WAS BUILT IN 2009. IN WHICH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ISSUED FOR THIS ECACT PROBLEM SEE GM BULLETIN # 14404 THIS DANGEROUS AND ALSO A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAR.

MY 2010 MALIBU HAS STARTED TO HAVE ALL SORTS OF STEERING ISSUES, I HAVE HAD A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUES OTHERS HAVE HAD, MY ESC AND POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WORKED LIKE "NORMAL" BUT SINCE THEN THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND EVEN IF YOU ARE SITTING STILL, THE WHEEL ITSELF MAKES A SUDDEN LITTLE JERK TYPE MOVEMENT. IS THERE ANYTHING OUT THERE TO FIX THESE ISSUES???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. KARL CHEVROLET (1101 SE ORALABOR RD, ANKENY, IA 50021, (515) 299-4300) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 8-433-300-9105. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,900.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY SEAT-BELT LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN I HAVE MY SEAT-BELT ON, MY ESC LIGHT KEEPS BLINKING AS WELL AS MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN I BRAKE.

POWER STEERING LOCKED WHEN DRIVING ONTO RAMP. CARS ALMOST HIT ME , I WAS ABLE TO GO TO CURB. CARS GOING FAST AND ALMOST HIT!

MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WHEN I DO NOT PUSH ON THE BRAKE WHEN I DO PUSH ON THE BRAKE THEY DISAPPEAR I CAN'T PUT MY CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING IT STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A MONTH AGO AT A HUNDRED AND NINETY-EIGHT THOUSAND MILES BUT IT WOULD GO AWAY I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WOULD BE FINE NOW IT IS LIKE THAT AT ALL TIMES

THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. BULBS HAVE BEEN CHANGED REPEATEDLY, PIGTAIL WAS CHANGED IN THE WIRING, FUSE WAS CHANGED AND LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT

MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER WHILE ON THE FREEWAY.
