2012 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

MY DIM HEADLIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT AND I KEPT HAVING TO CHANGE MY BULBS. TO COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS MY WIRING HARNESS AND I'VE HAD TO CHANGE IT TWICE. MY BRIGHT LIGHTS DO GOOD. IT'S JUST THE DIM LIGHTS. PLEASE RECALL THIS. IT'S A HEADACHE TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. I'VE ALSO READ THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE'S CHEVY MALIBUS HEADLIGHTS ARE MESSING UP TOO. EVERYTIME I PASS A MALIBU ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BURNED OUT. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 102,000 MILES ON IT

DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY BECAME WOBBLY AND LEANS TO RIGHT SIDE. NOTICED BAR IN UNDERNEATH FRAME OF SEAT HAS BROKEN AT A WELD, MAKING THE DRIVER'S SEAT VERY SHAKY AND UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS STYLE OF MALIBU SEATS AND A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. THIS ISSUE SHOULD PROVOKE A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT BY GM.

MY CAR WOULD TURN BUT NOT START SO I CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP. IT WAS STARTED FOR LIKE 5 DAYS THEN IT STARTED AGAIN WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START SO WE CHANGE THE FUEL BOX IN THE TRUNK. WORKED FOR LIKE A WEEK AND IT STARTED ACTING AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THE DIDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. SO WE TOOK IT TO A TECHNICIAN AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. PAID TO GET IT FIX BUT IT STILL WASN'T IT. STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM

POWER STEERING WENT OUT DRIVER THE 2012 MALIBU ON THE STREET. LOCKED UP AND ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO FAULTY POWER STEERING.

I'VE HAD READ SO MANY VEHICLES WITH SAME ISSUES ON ALL THESE MODELS I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR PUT A HIGH DOWN PAYMENT TO BE GETTING LEFT EVERYWHERE ALL CHEVY DEALERS DONT KNOW WHERE TO START AND OVER PRICE IT ALL YOU ALL SHOULD LOOK INTO IT BECAUSE ITS SOMETHING SERIOUS . CAR WONT START AFTER BEING USED A WHILE, YOU HAVE TO MESS WITH CABLES AND WIRES FOR IT TO START MESS WITH FUSE BOXES AND ALSO SOMETIMES IT DOESNT WORK.. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT I'M ANNOYED OF THIS CRAP

MY POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF FOR THE POWER STEERING TO WORK. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND THE ESC IS ON.

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT MALFUNCTIONING MULTIPLE TIMES IN PAST YEAR. HEAD LIGHT WILL GO OUT, AT FIRST COULD TAP ON HEAD LIGHT AND IT WOULD COME BACK ON. HAVE CHANGED PIGTAIL AND BULBS ONLY TO HAVE IT WORK FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM GOES OUT EVERY COUPLE DAYS TO 2 WEEKS. BULB AND WIRE HARNESS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND ONLY CORRECTED THE ISSUE FOR A SHORT TIME.

POWER STEERING FAILURE. POWER STEERING MOTOR/MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE.

WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE PLACE I RESIDE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WHEEL STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY WHICH CAUSED US TO DRIVE INTO A CURB , CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE UP ONTO A CURB FLATTENING BOTH SIDES OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR AS WELL ALMOST CLIPPING A CAR AT THE LIGHT TO OUR LEFT...THE KIDS ON BACK SEAT WERE COMPLETELY TERRIFIED BECAUSE THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON AND ARE STILL SCARED TO GET INTO A VEHICLE...AS WELL HAVE A PPLICE REPORT COULD PROBABLY OBTAIN IF NEED BE.. WE JUST WANT CAR FOXED RIGHT WAY NOT TRYING TO SUE ANYBODY OR GET AOME OUTRAGEOUS SETTLEMENT ....

THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN REQUIRING VEHICLE TO BE RESTARTED FREQUENTLY.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT GOING OUT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2014 AND MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. CHANGED THE PIGTAILS LAST TIME AND IAM NOW HAVING TO CHANGE THE WIRING HARNESS COMPLETELY AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP. MY CARS LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON AUTO AND ALWAYS BEGINS WITH MY PASSANGER LOW BEAM LIGHT GOING OUT FIRST THEN THE DRIVER SIDE A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER, HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE AND DURING DRIVING. MY HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I HAVE HAD A PROFFESIONAL MECHANIC CHANGE THEM AND THE LAST COUPLE TIMES I'VE CHANGED THEM MYSELF NOW DUE TO COST. REMOVING THE WHOLE BUMPER REALLY MAKES THIS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO CHANGE. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND THEY HAVE ALSO THE SAME PROBLEM, ITS ACTUALLY BECOME VERY COMMON TO SEE MANY CHEVY'S WITH A HEAD LIGHT OUT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS NOTED CAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE COMPANY. PLEASE HELP!

"TAKATA RECALL" IF I HIT A BUMP SMALL OR ANY SIZE ACTUALLY MY ENGINE REDUCES AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER...AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR UP TO 10 MINS SOMETIMES... I CANT DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AT ALL BECAUSE I DONT WANT THE ENGINE TO REDUCE WHILE DOING 60 MPH LATELY IT WILL GO INTO ENGINE POWER REDUCE WHILE IM PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY SO I DONT GET IT

TAKATA RECALL, MY CARS POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN MY CAR OFF THEN ON AND IT WILL WORK AGAIN. IT USUALLY HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A DAY. THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT MOVE UNLESS I USE ALL MY STRENGTH WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT AND SCARY. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON A CITY STREET WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER.

WARNING ON DASHBOARD SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. BRAKE LIGHTS DOES NOT COME ON WHEN THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL COME ON. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE PREVIOUSLY AND ISSUE STILL OCCURRING.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE CHANGED BULBS ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WASNT THE BULBS...THEY STILL WORK. I HAVE CHANGED ONE OF THE PIGTAILS AND IT WORKED FOR A WHILE AND STOPPED WITHIN A MONTH. IT STARTED WITH ONLY THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT AND NOW IT IS BOTH.

TAKATA RECALL: I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT'S ATTACHED TO GM RECALL 13036. I JUST TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND THIS RECALL WASN'T ATTACHED TO MY VIN, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR LISTED IN THE 13036 RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ! THE ESC LIGHT FLASHED 'OFF' THEN IT SAYS SERVICE ESC . THE CHECK ENGINES ILLUMINATES AND FLASHES AS WELL AS THE SERVICE TRACTION . I'VE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS , INJECTORS AND WIRING ATTACHED TO THE CYLINDERS, TO FIX THE CODES BEING SHOT OUT (P0302 / P0352) AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES . THE STEERING IS ROUGH AND MAKES NOISE WHILE TURNING , ESPECIALLY WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD . THE SOUND IS REALLY LOUD . MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED A FEW TIMES HAS I CAME TO A STOP AT STOP SIGNS AND INTERSECTIONS . THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP !!

TAMARA RECALL MY LOW BEAMS LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT AND ON, IT DOES THIS WHEN PARK, AND DRIVING THEY WORK SOMETIMES ONE OR THE OTHER SOMETIMES THEY WON’T COME ON AT ALL.

I WAS DRIVING TO PULL OUT OF GROCERY STORE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST MY POWER STEERING. IT GOES IN AND OUT OF WORKING AND STEERING IS VERY DIFFICULT.

'TAKATA RECALL' AT START UP , A LOUD NOISE COMES FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT . AS YOU DRIVE IT , THERE'S A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT AS YOU TURN. DEFINITELY A STEERING ISSUE. MEANWHILE, THE ESC OFF, SERVICE TRACTION AND THE SERVICE ESC WARNING SIGN ILLUMINATES . THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AS THE CAR MISFIRES FROM CYLINDER 2. I HAVE CHANGED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND THE INJECTOR TO CYLINDER 2 AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENS. THE VEHICLES HAS SHUT OFF ON ME AS I CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION. ALL THESE ISSUES OCCUR AS YOUR DRIVE THE CAR AND GO AWAY SOMETIMES, BUT NEVER FOR GOOD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR NOW

I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH MY CAR CUTTING ON AND OFF... I CHANGE MY FUEL PUMP I CHANGE THE SENSORS AND I'M STILLL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR CUTTING OFF WHEN IT WANTS OR STARTING WHEN IT WANTS. I'M NOW ABOUT TO CHANGE MY FUSE BOX IN MY TRUNK TO SEE IF THAT WORKS. THE ONLY WAY THE CAR WILL START IS IF I MESS WITH THE FUSE BOX IN THE TRUNK. ALSO I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS. I CHANGED THEM ABOUT 3 TIMES ALREADY BUT THEY KEEP GOING OUT.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY STEERING NEARLY EVERYTIME I WOULD START MY CAR. AFTER STARTING IT REPEATEDLY IT USUAL WOULD STEER BUT TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE STEERING FROZE! IT WAS VERY SCARY AND COULD HAVE TURNED OUT DANGEROUSLY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT I SEE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING OF THIS YEAR AND MODEL/.

ON APPROXIMATELY WEDNESDAY 2/20/2019 AND AT 3 POINTS IN 2018 A HEADLIGHT WENT OUT ON MY 2012 CHEVY MALIBU. ON 2/24/18 I RECEIVED A TICKET FOR IT. BUT THE ONLY REASON I DID AND THE 0NLY REASON A KEY SAFETY FEATURE WAS DISABLED FOR SO LONG IS DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW BY CHEVY. YOU HAVE TO REMOVE APPROX 30 BOLTS AND THE ENTIRE FRONT CLIP OF THE VEHICLE TO CHANGE A HEADLIGHT. THIS DESIGN FLAW NOT ONLY DISENFRANCHISES PEOPLE BUT ALSO MAKES THE ROAD LESS SAFE DUE TO THE FACT THE AVERAGE NON MECHANICALLY INCLINED PERSON WOULD LIKELY GO TO A MECHANIC AND USUALLY WAIT TO DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE COSTS. I THINK RATHER THAN FINE THEM. ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE TICKETS PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN BECAUSE OF THEM IN ADDITION TO MAKING THEM OFFER FREE SERVICE ON HEADLIGHT CHANGES. MAYBE THEY WON'T DO STUPID STUFF THAT ENDANGERS THE ROAD AGAIN IF THEY HAVE TO PAY EVERY SINGLE PETTY LITTLE TICKET.

THE LIGHTS RANDOMLY COME ON THEN THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WILL START TO ACT UP WHEN I GO TO STOP AS IF I WAS TO SLIDE ON ICE BUT I'M NOT I'M ON DRY PAVEMENT. ON CITY STREET.

BOTH HEADLIGHT GO OUT. REPLACED THE BULB 5 TIMES LAST YEAR AND 1 TIME THIS YEAR. IF I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND HIT A BUMP THE LIGHT WILL TURN OFF OR IF IT IS OFF IT WILL TURN ON.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. I HAVE TO REPLACE THEM 3-4 TIMES A YEAR. I SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON HEADLAMPS, EVEN THOUGH I INSTALL THEM MYSELF. INSTALLING NEW HEADLAMPS REQUIRES YOU TO REMOVE THE FRONT BUMPER. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN WITH THIS SAME ISSUE.

STARTED OUT WHEN I'M JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY STEERING WHEEL TWITCHES. NOW HAS GONE TO ESC POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKS UP. MOST OF THE TIME JUST WHEN I START THE CAR HOWEVER HAS DONE IT WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THANKFULLY IT WAS A SECLUDED ROAD AND I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE. THIS IS SUPER DANGEROUS AND ACCORDING TO MY SEARCH OF THE INTERNET I'M NOT ALONE.

WANTED TO UPDATE MY CASE 11173286. I TOOK THE CAR TO CHEVROLET DEALER TO HAVE CAR REPAIRED 02/05/2019. APPARENTLY CHEVROLET KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING BECAUSE IT WAS COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR AND MOTOR PART NUMBERS 23232310 SENSOR KIT AND 22837369 MODULE. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE IF IT HAD HAPPENED WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING SHE WOULD OF HAD A REAL PROBLEM BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN. SHE WOULD NOT KNOW IF YOU RESTART THE CAR THE STEERING WORKS AGAIN. SHE PROBABLY WOULD JUST STOPPED THE CAR WHERE EVER SHE WAS AND CAUSE A TRAFFIC PROBLEM. ALSO THERE WAS NOT ANY WARNING THAT STEERING WAS GOING TO GO BAD. IT HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES BEFORE I HAD IT FIXED. THE PROBLEM WOULD ANY PLACE. I HAVE HAPPEN ON THE STREET GOING 45 MPH, TURNING A CORNER, BACKING OUR OF MY DRIVEWAY, 2 TIMES ON A CITY STREET UNDER 30 MPH. IF YOU GO ONLINE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AT LIKE EVERY 3-4 STARTS IT WILL TURN OFF AFTER I TURN THE CAR OFF I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS A RECALL THAT IS COVERED I JUST TOOK MY CAR IN BECAUSE THE ESC LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF AND WHEN IT WOULD COME ON I WOULD LOSE STEERING I WAS ONCE HAPPY WITH MY CAR BUT NOW I KEEP HAVING ALL THESE LIGHT PIPING ON AND OFF

HEADLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, I'VE REPLACED BOTH BULBS AROUND 4 TIMES IN A YEAR. THE DRIVER SIDE GOES OUT I CHANGE IT THEN THE PASSENGER WOULD GO OUT THEN CHANGE IT THEN BOOM THERE GOES THE DRIVER SIDE AGAIN AFTER THE LAST TIME CHANGING IT I NOTICED THE BULBS AREN'T BLOWING OUT. EVERYONE THAT HAS THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I BELIEVE IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE WIRING HARNESSES. RUNNING TO THE CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE THIS ISSUE DIAGNOSED AND THEN THE INSANE BILL AFTERWARDS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT I'M PRETTY SURE GM WAS AND IS ALREADY AWARE IS NOT ONLY RIDICULOUS BUT A DISRESPECTFUL SLAP IN THE FACE TO THEIR FAITHFUL CONSUMERS.

THIS WILL BE MY 5TH ATTEMPT WITH CHANGING THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW-BEAN. I RECENTLY TOOK AGAIN TO MY MECHANIC ON JANUARY 7, 2019 TO REPLACE THE BULB AND EXACTLY JANUARY 24 IT WENT BACK OUT AGAIN. THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE REPORTED AND TO BE RECALL. THIS ISSUE WILL KEEP HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AND ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE BULB IS THE PROBLEM. I GOT PULLED OVER AND WAS ISSUED A REPAIR ORDER BY THE POLICE ON ANOTHER BULB ISSUE AND THEN ANOTHER A TICKET EVEN WHEN I HAD SHOWED POLICE I HAD BROUGHT A BLUB TO REPLACED IT. THIS IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING PLUS TO REMOVED THE FRONT BUMPER TO REPLACE THE BULB CREATES AN EXTRA CHARGES.

WAS DRIVING DOWN A CROOKED ROAD WHEN STEERING FELT LIKE IT LOCKED UP. BARELY MADE IT TO SIDE OF ROAD WITHOUT CRASHING. FLASHED ECS AND POWERSTEERING ON DASH. AFTER I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IT QUIT BUT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER BUT THE 2ND TIME IT DIDN'T QUIT AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, BUT THE NEXT DAY IT WAA DRIVING FINE AGAIN.

NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE TO FILE COMPLAINTS ABOUT MANUFACTURING ISSUES TO START A RECALL. MY MALIBU DIDN'T START ONE AFTER WORK TOWED IT TO MECHANIC. HE SAID IT DIDN'T HAVE OIL PRESSURE. HE OPENED UP THE ENGINE AND FOUND PIECES OF O RINGS/RTV SEALANT BLOCKING FLOW AND BUSTED RODS, LIFTERS, AND LOOSE BEARINGS OBVIOUSLY. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ONE OPEN THAT ENGINE. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CAR ONLY HAS 90,000 MILES. A/C COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AT 40,000 MILES, REAR DEFROST OUT REAR FUSE BOX CORRODED AND BURNED WIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED, WHEEL BEARINGS OUT IN THE FRONT AT 50,000 MILES. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN WITH A NEWER CAR. DEALER NO HELP OUT OF WARRANTY.

CONSTANTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTICAL SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE, AND FROM FURTHER STUDIES AND INVESTICATION VIA INTERNET COMPLAINTS AND YOUTUBE CUSTOMERS/OWNERS...THIS IS A CONTINUAL ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A SUBSTAINTIAL AMOUNT OF CHEVY MALIBU OWNERS FROM THE YEAR OF 2009 TO 2013/2014 MODELS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ASAP ON THESE MAKE AND MODELS. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE HEADLIGHTS CONSTANLY SHORT OUT AND BLOW OUT. MECHANICS AND SERVICE HAS FOUND THAT THE ELECTTICAL CONNECTORS FOR HLLIGHTBULB OVERHEATS, MELTS THE WIRING, AND BURNS OUT BULB> THIS IS VERY DANGEROUSE AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES ON MY VEHICLE ALONE. ALSO CONSTAT PROBLEMS WITH REAR RIGHT WHEEL CONVERTOR SPEED AND TIRE SENSORS, AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OVER ALL. THE WIRING IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE CONSTANTLY HAVE BLOW OUT FUSES, THE EMERGENCY LIGHT INDICATORS ALWAYS COMING ON, AND THE SENSORS ON AND OFF. THIS IS A WELL NOTED AND DOCUMENTED OCCURANS WITH THESE VEHICLES. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED DUE TO DANGER WITH POSSIBLE FIRE AND CAR STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND HEATING/COOLING AC WIRES SHORTING OUT. IN ALL OVERVIEW THIS HAS CAUSED ME SEVERE FINACIL PROBLEMS DUE TO CONSTANT REPAIRS AND PART REPLACEMENT. IT IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAYS AND ROADS. I NEED THIS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE SOME OF THE MELTED FIRE SPARKED PARTS.PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. MANY DAYS I DONT HAVE NEEDED TRANSPORTATION DUE TO

"TAKATA RECALL " IM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 MALIBU WHEN IM DRIVING DOWN THE STREET MY VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND " SERVICE ESC " POPS UP MAKING IT HARD TO TURN SO I HAVE TO STOP IN THE THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TO RESTART MY CAR IT HAPPENED A MONTH AND A HALF AGO AND JUST RECENTLY STARTED AGAIN IT STOPPED FOR A DAY AND NOW ITS BACK EVEN WORSE. TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THE THINK ITS MY TORQUE SENSOR AND INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAMSHAFT

I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT STEERING WHEEL STIFFING UP AND I ALMOST WENT IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME./ SECOND TIME I JUST MADE IT TO WORK TR=URN THE STEERING WHEEL TO PARK AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN./REAR DEFROST DON'T WORK CHANGED FUSE AND STILL WONT WORK

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE DASH WILL DISPLAY " ESC POWER STEERING" AND THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR WILL TURN THE POWER STEERING BACK ON. FOR HOW LONG? MAYBE 1 MILE OR 100 MILES. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THE POWER STEERING IS GOING TO FAIL. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, TURNING AND SITTING STILL.

TAKATA RECALL UNSAFE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH UNPREDICTABLE HEADLIGHT FUNTIONALITY AND UNKNOWN OTHER RESULTS MAY LEAD TO MORE EXTENSIVE DAFETY ISSUES, I.E FIRE CONCERNS.

POWER STEERING, LIGHTS, ELECTRICAL STABILITY, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION

THE STEERING WHEEL TENDS TO SHAKE AND TURN LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK IDLING IT SHAKES REALLY BAD

ESC & TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP,BUT GOES AWAY AFTER 15 MPH ALSO ROUGH IDLING .ANTI LOCK BRAKES DISENGAGE NOT WORKING AT ALL.ENGINE DISABLED WARNING LIGHT CAR WON'T START.AFTER A SHORT WHILE IT WILL START

CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSES CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CAUSING ILLNESS. SYMTOMS INCLUDE, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, HEADACHE, WATERING EYES, RUNNY NOSE. A DEFINITE HEALTH RISK.

LOSS OF STEERING.TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,000.

WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND ESC LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF AND IS WORKING AGAIN. STEERING PULLS AND I'M UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING. RECALLS WERE MADE TO YEAR AND MODEL OF MY CAR BUT MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH UP TO RECALL.

DIM LIGHTS BURNING OUT EVERY FEW MONTHS. HAPPENS ON START UP LEAVING ME NO CHOICE BUT TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO GET VEHICLE HOME CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD.

I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR IN MY CARE FOR GOING ON 3 YEARS. THE STEERING WHEEL POPS WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. AFTER ABOUT 6 TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL FAILS TO TURN AND GETS STUCK. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID IT IS THE RACK AND PINION. AGTER GETTING AN OPINION I HAVE OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW SAYING THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE IN THE RACK AND PINION IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE YET NO ONE HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER/VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL.

FUSE 6 BLOWS WHEN LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. IT FIRST BLEW IN OCT 2018, THEN NOT AGAIN UNTIL DECEMBER (SEVERAL TIMES) AND STILL HAPPENING AGAIN IN JAN 2019. SIGNALS WILL WORK FINE FOR A DAY OR TWO AFTER REPLACING FUSE, BUT THEN FUSE BLOWS AGAIN.

MY PASSENGER SIDE LOWBEAM. HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT NOW I GOT PULLED OVER AND NEED TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE MECANIC SHOP. FOR WHAT I WAS TOLD IS ATLEAST 200 DOLLARS. RIGHT AFTER THE HOIDAYS. MY 1997 CHEVY SILVERADO HASN'T NEEDED A HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT IN 6 YEARS BUT THIS CAR I CHANGED THE BULB 4 TIMES LAST YEAR? NOT TO MENTION ITS SO HARD TO EVEN GET TO THE BULB YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO THE SHOP.
