I ALREADY FIXED THE THROTTLE BODY, MAP SENSOR, CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, GAS PEDAL, ALTENATOR, AND ITS STILL DOING THE SAME PROBLEM. I NEED HELP ON FINDING OUT WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW.

2012 MALIBU LOSES POWER STEERING AND ESC LIGHT COMES ON. VERY DANGEROUS. DON'T THINK 2012 MALIBU IS COVERED UNDER RECALL 15356, BUT IT SHOULD BE . PEOPLE WILL DIE ... PROBABLY ALREADY HAVE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2012 MALIBU LT, WHICH IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AS WAS REPORT; MAR 26, 2019 - KAUFMAN, TX - ENGINE WHEN DRIVING OR SITTING AT IDLE NOT MOVING SERVICE ESC AND TRACTION CONTROL FLASHES ON DASH.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND AND MY SUNROOF SHATTERED

WHEN IDLING IN PARK MY STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE BACK AND FORTH. AND THEN I KEEP LOSING MY POWER STEERING FUNCTION. AND THEN I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WILL COME BACK ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 DAYS. WITH THE ESC LIGHT IN THE POWER STEERING LIGHTS COMING ON ON INTERMITTENT.

ESC LIGHT COMES ON EITHER RIGHT AS I START THE CAR OR ONCE I START DRIVING AND I LOSE POWER STEERING HAVING TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART MY CAR. I FEAR DRIVING MY KIDS IN MY CAR BECAUSE IF THIS ONGOING ISSUE.

STATIONARY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, ESC OFF LIGHT THEN IT'S SAYS POWER STEER STEERING WHEEL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE

I AM CONTINUALLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT LOVE BEAM LIGHTS ON MY CAR. IN PARTICULAR THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM. I HAVE CHANGED THE LIGHT AT LEASE EVERY 3 MOS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. I JUST RECENTLY CHANGED THE DS HEADLIGHT AND THE HARNESS AND IT WORK INITIALLY BUT 24 HOURS LATER IT WAS NOT WORKING AGAIN.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED AND 2 WEEKS AFTER I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC FROM WORK BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS FUEL PUMP SO HE REPLACED IT $685 AND THE TOW WAS $125. DROVE IT HOME AND THE NEXT DAY WENT OUT TO START IT BEFORE WORK AND WOULDN'T START BUT HAD CRANK. CALLED MECHANIC HE HAD IT TOWED BACK TO HIS SHOP, CLEANED THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK AND SAID THE BROWN WIRE WAS LOOSE. STARTED UP THE NEXT DAY BUT THE FOLLOWING DAY IT STALLED ON ME WHILE ME AND MY SON WAS ON OUR WAY TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT AND I HIT THE BOX IN THE TRUNK AND IT STARTED. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A RECALL YET FROM HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE WENT THROUGH THIS ELECTRICAL WIRING ISSUE. THIS WAS ALL ON CITY STREETS. HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO BEAT ON THIS BOX TO GET IT STARTED AND HOW LONG WILL THAT LAST? THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

FIXED SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL THE SERVICE TIRE MONITOR IS ON AS IF IT WAS THE TPMS.

2012 CHEVY MALIBU RECENTLY TURNED 98,000 MILES. I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TURN AFTER STOPPING FOR A STOP SIGN AND THE POWER STEERING SERVICE, ESC LIGHT COMES ON. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND VERY HARD TO TURN. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED ENGINE OFF AND ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. VERY SCARY, I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT WITH THESE CARS. HOW CAN THERE NOT BE A RECALL???

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY. BULB IS NOT BURNT OUT. HAVE REPLACED COMPLETE HARNESS, USUALLY SOLVES PROBLEM FOR A MONTH OR SO AND THEN LIGHT GOES OUT AGAIN. HAVE CHANGED GROUNDING ALSO BUT PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY POLICE FOR 'BURNT OUT' HEADLIGHT SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND HAVE TO EXPLAIN HOW IT IS A VEHICLE FLAW, NOT A BAD BULB. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH OTHERS HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

FOR ABOUT THE LAST TWO WEEKS WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON A ESC POWER STEERING MESSAGE HAS ILLUMINATED THE DASH. I HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE MESSAGE TO DISAPPEAR. TONIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE SAME MESSAGE CAME ON. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES DURING MY DRIVE EACH TIME LOSING POWER STEERING! VERY SCARY AND VERY UNSAFE. WHEN I SEARCH MY VIN NUMBER THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON IT, I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED IN A ACCIDENT.

CAR WAS RUNNING ON FREEWAY AND LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THEN CAR SO STALLED AND CAR DOESNT START ANYMORE

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR A FEW DAYS AGO ON A CITY STREET AND AFTER I MADE A TURN, THE POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL PICTURE. MY STEERING WHEEL GOT SUPER STIFF AND IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN IT. AFTER I PULLED OVER AND TURNED MY CAR OFF, I TURNED IT BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT I CHECKED ON THE GM RECALL WEBSITE AND PUT IN MY VIN BUT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHICH DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE MUCH SENSE IF OTHER 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS.

MY ESC COMES ON WITH TRACTION EMBLEM AND POWER STEERING LIGHT. I THEN LOSE ALL POWER STEERING WHILE IN MOTION.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND CAR JUST SHUT OFF, NO LIGHTS WERE ON IN VEHICLE NO SIGNS OF ANY ISSUES AT ALL. VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

ON 2/5/2020 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO TWITCH WHILE DRIVING . AFTER I ARRIVED TO WORK AND PUT IT IN PARK THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING BACK AND FOURTH. NOW AFTER WORK I COME OUT IT HAD NO POWER STEERING ESC LIGHT ON AND A MESSAGE POWER STEERING PROBLEM. TOOK VIN TO DEALER NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE GM ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTOMS. THERE ARE RECALLS OUT THERE FOR THIS PROBLEM. 2012 MALIBU INCLUDED JUST NOT MINE. VERY DANGEROUS

THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN FINE ONCE IT STARTS. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING IT TO START. SOMETIMES THE CAR STARTS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS AND THEN SOMETIMES IT WON'T. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES. WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN THE SAME THING STARTED TO HAPPEN. WE REPLACED A COUPLE OF FUSES. AGAIN THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN THE SAME THING STARTED TO HAPPEN. MY HUSBAND AND I NOTICED THAT THERE IS SOME WIRING THAT IS ALWAYS HOT LEADING FROM THE FUSE BOX TO THE FUEL PUMP. BASICALLY WE BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET USED CHEAP CRAPPY THIN WIRING. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE CAR WON'T START. WE DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THAT EVERYONE WHO OWNS A 2012 CHEVY MALIBU HAS HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT HAS COST CONSUMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. WE HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A CHEVY AND THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH. WE ARE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SWITCHING TO TOYOTA OR NISSAN SINCE CHEVROLET HAS BEEN RECEIVING COMPLAINTS AND THUS FAR HAS CHOSEN NOT TO DO ANYTHING. CHEVROLET MANUFACTURED THE 2012 CHEVY MALIBU AND WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUES SURROUNDING THE FUSE BOX, FUEL PUMP, AND THE WIRING. ONE OF THESE DAYS, THE CAR IS GOING TO CATCH FIRE BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY SYSTEM. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO SEE ALL OF THESE CHEVY MALIBU OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND CHEVROLET DOES NOTHING. WE NEVER KNOW IF THE CAR IS GOING TO START; IT'S LITERALLY A GUESSING GAME. SOMETIMES WE TAP THE FUSE BOX, SOMETIM

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING. SERVICE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. NOW IT IS GOING IN AND OUT. SOMETIMES I CAN STEER AND SOMETIMES IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.

SAME POWER STEERING PROBLEM. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GOES OUT SOMETIMES MIDTURN. IM AN ADULT MALE AND IVE HIT THE CURB A COUPLE TIMES IF THIS HAPPENED TO A FEMALE OR CHILD IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IM SCARRED TO DRIVE IT. G.M. NEEDS TO STOP SELLING THESE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING UNITS. MINE IS 2012 MALIBU JUST TURNED 100000. THE ESC LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS POWER STEERING ON DASH.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM FOR MONTHS NOW. MY HEADLIGHT (BOTH SIDES AT DIFFERENT TIMES) KEEP GOING OUT. I'VE PROBABLY CHANGED MY HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I'VE HAD THE HEADLIGHT HARNESS CHANGED AS WELL BECAUSE THAT BURNED OUT. 2 MONTHS LATER THE NEW ONE BURNED OUT!!! I'VE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, CHEVY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I'M SO SICK OF BUYING HEADLIGHTS, HARNESSES, AND PAYING FOR SERVICE!! ITS NOT LIKE YOU JUST POP THE HEADLIGHT IN ON THIS STUPID CAR.

HEADLAMPS KEEP GOING OUT WITHIN MONTHS AFTER SERVICE, LIGHTBULB SEEMS TO HAVE BLOWN BUT THEN COMES BACK ON LATER. HARNESS REPLACEMENT 2 TIMES IN 2 YEARS, PLASTIC CONNECTORS KEEP MELTING OR HEATING. BULB BLOWN ALSO ONE HOUR AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP SERVICING. MULTIPLE DATES OF INCIDENT WITH MOST RECENT 1/29/2020

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. DEALERSHIP CHANGED FUSE BOX AND WIRING IN TRUNK DUE TO MELTING. NOW LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING. REPLACED ONE MONTHS AGO, NOW BOTH NOT WORKING AGAIN. NOTICED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING. SERVICE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. NOW IT IS GOING IN AND OUT. SOMETIMES I CAN STEER AND SOMETIMES IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE LOOKED IT UP AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO BE PART OF THIS RECALL.

THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT AND MOTOR FAILED. I WAS ALMOST KILLED. THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE PART NUMBER IS 20821325. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MALIBU. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS ON THE 2012

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BUT NOT OPEN

THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS AND CONNECTORS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY OUT AGAIN FOR THE 8TH TIME

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT KEPT GOING IN AND OUT UNTIL COMPLETELY GOING OUT AND NOT WORKING. WHEN GETTING A NEW BULB PUT IT IT DID THE SAME THING A WEEK LATER. THE WIRING IN THE HEADLIGHT IS FAULTY. THE SAME THING GOES FOR THE FRONT SPEAKERS OF THE CAR. THE FRONT SPEAKERS WILL COME ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN AS WELL.

FRONT HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT LIKE IT IS BURNED OUT - BUT THEN RANDOMLY TURN ON LATER - CHANGE THE BULB AND IT WILL WORK FOR A FEW DAYS THEN SHUT OFF

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONNECTION BETWEEN BULB AND HARNESS KEEPS MELTING CAUSING HEADLIGHT TO NOT TURN ON. HAVE CHANGED OUT WIRING HARNESS MANY, MANY TIMES IN A YEAR.

DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITH MY 3 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. TURNED THE WHEEL AS I WAS TAKING A TURN AND THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY STOPPED. THIS FORCED ME TO APPLY THE BRAKE BECAUSE I ALMOST WEMT OFF THE ROAD!! I SEE THIS ISN'T THE ONLY INCIDENT INVOLVING THE ESC AND POWER STEERING!! VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS "SERVICE ESC" AND "POWER STEERING" MESSAGES DISPLAYED IN THE INFO MESSAGES.

I HAVE REPLACE MY HEADLIGHTS ABOUT 10 WITHIN TWO YEARS. FIRESTONE HAVE REPLACED THE WIRING, AND MY HEADLIGHT STILL GOES OUT. I'M BEYOND FRUSTRATED. IF YOU GO TO CARGURUS.COM, EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

I WAS SOLD A CAR PRICED AT $4,995 BUT WHEN THE INITIAL CONTRACT WAS SIGNED THE CAR REPRESENTATIVE FAILED TO KEEP THE PRICE THE SAME AND WITHOUT CONSENT OVERCHARGED ME FOR THE CAR $10,000 I CALLED BACK A WEEK LATER TO NOTIFY THEM THE CAR HAD WENT OUT, WAS IN BAD CONDITION, WASN'T DRIVING, AND PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN HARMS WAY. CAR SHUTOFF TWICE IN MOTION ONCE WHILE ACTUALLY DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I ASKED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS FORCED INTO PURCHASING THEIR WARRANTY THAT HE STATED CAME WITH THE CAR BUT PUT IN THE CONTRACT LATER THAT I WOULD PAY $1000+ DOLLARS FOR IT WHEN IT'S AN EXPIRED WARRANTY FROM 2017 WHEN THE DEALER FIRST GOT THE CAR SO IT'S ONLY A EXTENDED WARRANTY AND DOESN'T HELP WITH ANYTHING. HE CAME ONCE TO REPAIR THE CAR BY PUTTING SOME FLUID INSIDE TO MAKE IT RUN & INSTEAD TOLD ME HE CHANGED THE BATTERY WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE FALSE THE CAR KEPT CUTTING OFF AND GOING OUT I KEPT SEEKING HELP IT WAS DAVID AND ABN MOTORS WHO REFUSED TO FIX ANY MECHANICAL ISSUE I WAS HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE AND IN RETURN THE CAR PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN HARMS WAY IT IS A DANGER TO HAVE OR DRIVE WITH MY KIDS COPS SAID SO ALSO IT CUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AND LEAKED AN EXTREMELY LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL WHILE ME AND MY KIDS WERE INSIDE THE VEHICLE I WAS FORCED TO MERGE OVER COMPLETELY TO GET OUT THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AS THE CAR JUST STOPPED MOTION. SOMETHING UNDER THE HOOD POPPED AND THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKY STATE OFFICIALS ORDER ME AND MY FAMILY OUT THE VEHICLE IN

I BOUGHT A 2012 MALIBU FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO IS 15 YEARS OLD. NICE CAR, BUT WHEN SHE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, "SERVICE ETC" ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND SHE COMPLETELY LOST POWER STEERING. HIT A CURB.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME CAR WAS IN PARK WHEN IT FIRST APPEAR

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT KEEP GOING OUT I HAVE REPLACED BULB AND SOCKET SEVERAL TIMES ..IT WORK ONLY FOR 2 WEEKS AND PROBLEM KEEP COMING ..THIS IS FIFTH TIME I'M HAVING TO FIX THE ISSUES

CAR WOULD SHIMMY AND SHAKE. NEW TIRES NEW BREAKS ETC. MADE APPOINT. TO FIX RECALLS WHEN POWER STER. WENT OUT. PUT NEW PS ON AND IT DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. WENT BACK AND FORTH TO DEALER. HAD CAR DIAGNOSED AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SO CALLED GM, REP SAID THEY WOULD FIX AND REINBURSE FOR THE WORK ALREADY PERFORMED, GAVE A CASE NUMBER. CAR SAT A DEALERS WEEKEND. TODAY GM REP SAID THEY WOULD ONLY PAY 5% AND DENIED OTHER REP HAD SAID THEY'D FIX. NO POWER STEERING ON CAR AND IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND I'M EXPECTED TO COVER COSTS WHEN I'VE ALREADY SPENT NEARLY 1000 ON IT AND IT'S STILL NOT FIXED. PLEASE HELP

CAR SUDDENLY FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS I PULLED ON THE THE INTERSTATE. CAR FILLED WITH A BURNING SMELL. DEALER SAID THE REAR DEFROST MALFUNCTIONED AND MELTED THE FUSE BLOCK LOCATED IN THE TRUNK DAMAGING ALL WIRING ON THE FUSE BLOCK. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS BYPASSED THE FUSE AND THE RELAY WITH SUCH A SURGE THAT IT WAS HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE ENTIRE FUSE BLOCK. THIS COULD HAVE LED TO A VERY SERIOUS FIRE WHERE I WAS TRAPPED IN THE CAR. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE, BUT IF I WERE IN THE FAR LANE, I COULD HAVE BEEN STUCK IN A HIGH SPEED LANE RESULTING IN INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. THE CAR IS VERY LOW MILEAGE AND GARAGE STORED, SO IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND MAINTAINED REGULARLY. WAS JUST IN TO THE DEALER LESS THAN 10 DAYS PRIOR (POWER STEERING ESC RECALL) WITH NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. CAR CURRENTLY AT PHILLIPS CHEVY IN FRANKFORT, IL.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL STOP WORKING, BUT THE BULBS ARE STILL GOOD. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. BOTH LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AND REPLACING THE BULB DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

164,00 MILES. TEMP 34 F. DROVE CAR 3 MILES AND STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. PUT SIGNAL ON AND ATTEMPTED LEFT TURN. STEERING BECAME LOCKED. BREAK AND ACCELERATOR WENT TO LOWEST POSITION NEAREST FLOOR. ENGINE STAYED ON BUT CAR WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN AFTER LIFTED FOOT OFF BREAK AND ATTEMPTED TO PUSH ACCELERATOR. . PUT IN PARK. STOPPED ENGINE. RESTARTED. NO CHANGE AFTER START. AGAIN PUT IN PARK PUSHED ON BREAK TURNED IGNITION IT STARTED. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AND STEERING BACK TO NORMAL. NO NOTICEABLE PROBLEM AFTER THAT.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING. SERVICE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON. I HAVE LOOKED IT UP AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO BE PART OF THIS RECALL.

THE LOW BEAM LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE KEEPS GOING OUT I'VE CHANGED IT TWICE AND ITS STILL GOING OUT AS IF THERE IS A SHORTAGE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED AND FAILED TO STEER. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TIMING CHAIN JUST CAME OFF AT 86000 MILES. DRIVING FINE UNTIL ENGINE RPM SLOWED TO IDLE SPEED THEN SHUT OFF. WAS UNABLE TO START AND STRANDED. NO CODES OR WARNING. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT BUT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY.

THREE TIMES IN TWO MONTHS THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM HAS GONE OUT. I WORK NIGHTS AND EACH TIME IT HAS GONE OUT IT HAS BEEN WHILE I AM DRIVING TO WORK IN THE DARK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND NO CLEAR ANSWER HAS BEEN GIVEN ON HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ECS ACTIVATED WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14E044000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT CALLED VICTORVILLE CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 15425 DOS PALMAS RD, VICTORVILLE, CA 92392, (760) 475-9098) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 204,000.

DRIVER SEAT WELD BROKE AT THE RIGJT REAR AND LEFT FRONT WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND WENT TO ADJUST IT AND IT BROKE ON THE WAY UP, THEN THE LEFT SIDE ON THE WAY DOWN. I HAVE SEEM ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO GM AND NEARLY ALL ARE DENIED TO BE REPAIRED AT DEALERS COST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT ASAP.

ELECTRICAL PART SHUTS DOWN THE CAR CAN'T GO SOMETIMES YOU CAN CHANGE FUSE WILL GO AND HERE WE GO AGAIN HAVE IT IN AND OUT OF SHOP TO BE WORK ON NO BODY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT . AND EVEN SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING DOWN ROAD IN TRAFFIC VERY DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY. HAD IN DIFFERENT SHOPS FOR HELP.GETTING VERY SICK OF IT READ OTHER HAVE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME TYPE CAR.WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT READY TO START BUYING HONDA CARS.THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON ALL SUMMER STILL NOVEMBER. SO TIRED OF IT AND WASTING MONEY ON IT. THIS HAS HAPPEN MORE THAN ONE TIME

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE GO OUT BUT THE BULBS ARE NOT BLOWN. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CONNECTORS THAT CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT AND COME ON SPORADICALLY. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL COME OFF OR ON IF IT IS HIT OR KICKED, OR IF A BUMP IN THE ROAD IS HIT. THIS CAUSES THE PREMATURE TRASHING OF BULBS THAT SEEM TO HAVE BLOWN. THIS IS A PROBLEM UNTO ITSELF BUT EVEN MORE PROBLEMATIC SINCE THE ENTIRE BUMPER MUST BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO REPLACE (ANY COMPONENT OF) A HEADLIGHT. MECHANICS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS ISSUE FOR SEVERAL GM VEHICLES WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME FRAME. I HAVE CHATTED WITH SEVERAL OWNERS OF CADILLACS, IMPALAS, AND MALIBUS THAT EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM.
