SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
COMING TO A STOP ON AN OFF RAMP, BRAKES FAILED COULDN'T STOP. (IT HAD BEEN RAINING). 2ND INCIDENT ON JUNE 26, 2013, GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AND SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT WITH SEC LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WAS POWERING DOWN AND STEERING WAS DIFFICULT. CALLED LANDMARK SERVICE CENTER IN TAYLORVILLE, ILLINOIS THEY TOLD ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN RESTART (OF COURSE LIGHTS WENT OUT) AND DRIVE IT TO THE NEAREST GM GARAGE. (I WAS OUT OF TOWN AT THE TIME). WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE LOCATION THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND OF COURSE NOTHING SHOWED UP BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WERE NOT ON. ON WEDNESDAY I TOOK MAY CAR TO LANDMARK IN TAYLORVILLE TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND TO SEE IF THEY COULD CHECK ON THE PROBLEM. AND TRUE TO FORM THE COMPUTER SHOWED NOTHING BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WERE NO ON. BUT WAS TOLD IF THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TO GO TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER AND DON'T TURN THE CAR OFF. I'VE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IN TRAFFIC. AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF TOWN. I LIKE MY CAR AND WANT TO KEEP IT BUT IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED SOMEONE MAY GET HURT. BUT BEFORE THAT HAPPENS I WILL TRADE THE CAR AND I ASSURE YOU THAT I WILL NOT BY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AND WILL TELL EVERYONE OF THE PROBLEMS I HAD. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
THE SERVICE ESC AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED. THE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ABOUT $700 TO FIX THE ISSUE. TWO DAYS LATER THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND HE SAID "OH THAT IS BAD." I TOOK IT BACK IN AND HE APOLOGIZED FOR NOT CHECKING ANOTHER OPTION REGARDING THIS SERVICE. HE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ANOTHER $500 TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MODULE. THIS ALL HAPPENED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2010 MALIBUS. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THE BRAKES COULD LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO ON FOR NO REASON WHILE I AM PRESSING THE GAS AND THEN WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE, THEY WILL SHUT OFF. AS WELL AS WHEN I TURN ON THE HAZARDS, MY TRACTION LIGHT WILL SWITCH ON AND WHEN I TURN THEM OFF THE LIGHT STAYS ON SAYING "SERVICE TRACTION" AND THEN THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT BLINKER SHORTS OUT AND PRETENDS LIKE IT IS GOING OUT AND WILL BLINK RAPIDLY. THEN WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE IS HAPPENING MY CRUISE CONTROL WILL BE FAULTY. THERE IS A SHORT OR SOMETHING HAPPENING WITH THE WIRING, IT HAS BEEN BAD FOR A WHILE NOW. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL I READ THIS: [XXX] *TR PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I DRIVE IN THE CITY, AN HOUR TO WORK, SINGLE FEMALE ON A BUDGET AND MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3X FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO FIX TO IT. I AM FURIOUS, SICK TO MY STOMACH AND SAD ALL AT THE SAME TIME. THERE ARE THREE ISSUES THAT APPEAR TO BE RELATED: 1) BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING DEPRESSED, AND STAYS ON, AND/OR DOES NOT COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. 2)"SERVICE TRACTION" AND "SERVICE ESC" WARNINGS COME ON AND REMAIN ON. 3) CRUISE CONTROL STOPS WORKING. YOU CAN HAVE ONE, TWO OR ALL THREE OF THESE EVENTS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. ANY OF THE THREE CAN OCCUR FIRST. THEY CAN OCCUR EACH TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN FOR SOME WEEKS, THEN NOT OCCUR AT ALL FOR A FEW DAYS OR OCCASIONALLY EVEN WEEKS. CAN OCCUR AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES, SOMETIMES AFTER AN HOUR OR MORE OF DRIVING. SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER CONDITIONS, HOT, COLD, WET OR DRY. HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, AND NOW SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AND FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME THAN WHEN FIRST BEGAN. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I'VE HAD MY CAR IN THE WARRANTY REPAIR SHOP 2 TIMES IN 2012 FOR THE ESC LIGHT COMING ON, USED TO COME ON EVERY FEW WEEKS...AS OF DATE TODAY, IT COMES ON EVERY TIME YOU TURN THE CAR ON. FIRST OCCURRENCE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON FOR ESC OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ESC AT 20 MPH. THEY'VE REPLACED 3 PARTS ON MY CAR AND TODAY THE SAME LIGHTS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE ESC HAVE COME ON ONCE AGAIN. 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. I AM TO TAKE MY CAR BACK AGAIN FOR SERVICE NEXT WEEK TO HOPEFULLY GET IT REPAIRED BUT I AM NOT SO SURE THEY ARE GOING TO FIND THE PROBLEM AFTER ALREADY HAVING IT IN THERE SO MANY TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS INTERMITTENT. I AM SICK TO MY STOMACH DEALING WITH SOMETHING THAT FEELS AS IF IS NEVER GOING TO BE FIXED. ITS A HUGE HAZARD DRIVING IN THE CITY AND YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE COMPLETELY BACKWARDS. NEW BULBS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, NEW SWITCH, NOW WHAT? ITS SCARY AND STOMACH TURNING KNOWING MY CAR IS 3 YRS OLD AND A DISASTER!!! *TR

WHEELS
IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT I HAVE 3 AREAS IN MY RIM TO BE CRACK ALONG THE CREASE OF A 5 STAR RIM. I WAS INFORMED BY A COUPLE OF EXPERTS THAT THESE TYPE OF RIMS HAS BEEN CAUSING ALOT OF OWNER DIFFICULTIES. I DO NOT BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE OWNER. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL..AT THIS TIME I AM REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE RIM, BECAUSE NO ONE HAS GIVEN ME A "MAKE SINCE" EXPLANATION AS TO THE BLAME.. I HAVE EVEN WENT AS FAR A FILING A CLAIM WITH GENERAL MOTORS TO HAVE THEM SHUFFLE ME BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEIR (GM) SPECIALIST. SOMETHING NEED TO GIVE. I FEEL OUR SAFETY IN INVOLVED AT THIS POINT. HAD I NOT HAD IT CHECK AND CONTINUED WITH THE FIX A FLAT FORMULA AND AIRING UP THE TIRE, WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME AND MY FAMILY.. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE, NOT JUST FOR ME, BUT FOR THOUSANDS OD MALIBU 2010 LS OWNERS... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CONCERN IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE IN ADVANCE. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2010 MALIBU AND RECENTLY TOOK IT TOO THE DEALER FOR A SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT AND THEY INFORMED ME OF A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CORRECTED UNDER A RECALL, HOWEVER NOW THERE SAYING I NEED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT AIR BAG AND THE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE. THESE AIR BAGS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE ARE MANY 2010 MALIBU OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE 1245.87 FOR REPAIRS AND CANNOT SAY WHY THE FAILURE HAPPENED. A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE AIR BAG FAILURE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF INVESTIGATION ON TO WHY THESE AIR BAGS AND SEAT SENSORS ARE FAILING FOR NO APPARENT REASONS BESIDE THE POOR OR CHEAP QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS THERE INSTALLING. I THINK THAT GM NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THERE CARS AND TRUCKS AND NOT BRUSH OFF SUCH A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2011 AND HAD NOTICED A FEW TIMES DURING WINTER THAT WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIM AND THE HEATER FAN WOULD SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN. NOTHING REALLY EVER HAPPENED TO MAKE ME THINK THERE WAS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I WOULD NOTICE IT WOULD HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY THROUGH OUT THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. EARLY IN MARCH, 2013, I HAD NOTICED AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO GO TO WORK, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THERE WOULD BE A MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT JUST READ POWER STEERING. THIS WOULD ONLY LAST FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, AND THEN IT WOULD GO AWAY AND THE STEERING WOULD BE FINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE COLD WEATHER. ON FRIDAY, MARCH 15, I HAD STOPPED AT A FEW DIFFERENT PLACES, WAS HAVING NO ISSUES THAT I COULD TELL. I GOT INTO MY CAR TO LEAVE THE LAST STOP, STARTED THE CAR AND BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. I DIDN'T SEE A MESSAGE AT FIRST AND IT FELT LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER THERE WERE 4 DINGS AND THE DASH SAID POWER STEERING AGAIN AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY SLUGGISH. I'D BEEN HALF EXPECTING IT TO START WORKING AGAIN, BUT AFTER SPEAKING WITH A REP AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE, THEY TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ELECTRONIC ASSIST MOTOR ON THE RACK-AND-PINION HAD SHORTED, CAUSING A FUSE TO BLOW WHICH WAS SOMETHING GM HAD ALREADY PUT A RECALL OUT FOR OTHER VEHICLES, EXCEPT MY MODEL YEAR. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY RECALL THAT WAS OUT ON THE CAR AT THE MOMENT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR AND I WILL BE TAKING CARE OF THAT SOON. THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS TO SEE WHAT GM WILL COVER FOR REPAIRS, BUT HONESTLY I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR A PROBLEM THAT GM DIDN'T FIX RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. *TR

I TAP THE BRAKE ONLY TO HAVE THEM COME BACK ON. IT KEPT DOING IT FOR ABOUT 20 MILES THEN STOPPED. IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND CHEVY HAS FAILED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
