ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING LIGHT AND ESC LIGHT COMES ON AND THERE WAS LOSS OF POWER STEERING. IT BECAME VERY HARD FOR MY DAUGHTER TO TURN THE WHEEL. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF ENGINE, SHE RESTARTED AND GOT THE POWER STEERING BACK BUT THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED AND MOVED ON IT'S OWN. LATER THAT WEEK THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAS NOT COME BACK. I'M THANKFUL SHE WASN'T HURT AND THE NUMBERS OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT ON THIS CAR IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. THE MANUFACTURERS NEED TO STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2010 MALIBU HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED FIVE TIMES IN A YEAR. I PAID OVER 1000.00 JUST TO HAVE A 15.00 LIGHT BULB REPLACED. SOMETHING IS HAPPENING BECAUSE IT OCCURS ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL OR REIMBURSEMENT. AS OF TODAY. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO SPEND 200.00 JUST TO GO OUT AGAIN IN A WEEK. I AM DRIVING WITH ONE LIGHT BECAUSE I REFUSE TO FIX IT UNTIL GM DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS INSANE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO GET DONE IMMEDIATELY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FIRST OF ALL I AM A MUSICIAN AND THIS CAR HAS CUT MY FINGERS BADLY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. ONCE I WAS AT AN AUDITION AND BLOOD WAS EVERYWHERE. YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM CAUSE THE WEB SAYS YOU HAVE RECEIVED MANY MANY MANY COMPLAINTS. LISTEN IF THE CHROME TAPE ON DOOR HANDLES INSIDE AND OUT PEELS AND CUTS THEM DON'T ALLOW AUTO MAKERS TO USE IT PLEASE! WHEN YOU ARRIVE IN FULL DRESS A SUIT OR NICE CLOTHES AND YOU OPEN YOUR DRIVERS DOOR OR PASSENGER AND THE TAPE SLICES YOUR FINGER LIKE A MEAT SLICER AND BLOOD IS EVERYWHERE. I WAS SET TO PLAY MUSIC TONIGHT AND NOW I CAN'T. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET WHY LET THEM KEEP USING A PRODUCT THAT PEOPLE KEEP COMPLAINING TO YOU ABOUT?

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS MORNING IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK WHILE GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE. I WENT TO TURN ON THE OFF-RAMP AND MY POWER STEERING FAILED, FOLLOWED BY SEVERAL MESSAGES ON MY INFORMATION DISPLAY. (POWER STEERING, ESC) ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, MY POWER STEERING RETURNS. SINCE THEN IT CONTINUES TO SHUT DOWN ON ME WHILE DRIVING. AFTER LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE ONLINE, I NOTICE A LARGE RECALL ON 2010 MALIBU'S FOR THIS EXACT REASON, BUT SOMEHOW MINE IS NOT COVERED. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE WHEN IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE? THIS IS BECOMING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN.
