EXTERIOR LIGHTING
NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000 IMPACTED THIS VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. 14V252000 STATES: "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) CONNECTION MAY RESULT IN VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR (BAS) CIRCUIT. THESE FLUCTUATIONS CAN CAUSE ONE OR MORE OF THESE CONDITIONS: THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED; THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE PEDAL IS PUSHED; ..." WHEN DRIVING BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SEEMED TO GO OFF WHEN SHE WOULD HAVE PRESSED ON THE BRAKES. WHEN A CHEVROLET DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND I EXPLAINED THE CONDITION WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE RECALL SYMPTOMS, I WAS TOLD IT WAS ALREADY FIXED AND ANY FURTHER WORK WOULD COST MONEY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE "FIX" IN THE RECALL I CHECKED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AT THE BCM. IT DID HAVE DIELECTRIC GEL APPLIED TO THE BDM WHERE THE CABLE CONNECTED SO REPAIR WAS DONE. AFTER REMOVING AND INSERTING THE CABLE SEVERAL TIMES TO REMOVE ANY CORROSION AT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, AND PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER MYSELF, THE PROBLEM HASN'T RETURNED YET. HOWEVER, THE CONDITION OF HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS REVERSED IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM, INITIALLY. BEFORE I RE-APPLIED THE FIX I DID DISCOVER THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T ENGAGE WHEN THE CONDITION WAS PRESENT (IT WAS A FREQUENT CONDITION BUT WASN'T ALWAYS THERE). THERE WERE NO OTHER INDICATIONS THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE REVERSED OTHER THAN LOOKING AT THE LIGHTS FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT GM'S FIX MIGHT BE FLAWED AS THE RECALL CONDITION RECURRED ON MY VEHICLE AFTER THE DESIGNATED FIX WAS PERFORMED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP, CAUSING RISK TO US AND OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS.

POWER TRAIN
ON AUGUST 21, 2016 I PLACE MY CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK UP OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN A RESIDENTIAL PARKING LOT. THEN I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE MY CAR INTO DRIVE TO PULL OFF AND THE GEAR SHIFT MOVED BUT MY CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. SO IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKES SO THE CAR WOULD STOP. I LOOK AT MY GEAR SHIFT AND SAW IT WAS STILL IN REVERSE. I PLAYED WITH THE GEARS MOVING THE LEVEL BACK AND FORTH BUT THE CAR REMAIN IN REVERSE SO I TURNED MY CAR OFF. WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, MY CAR WOULDN'T START. NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO BUT GUESSING IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GEAR SHIFT, WITH THE HELP OF SOME CITIZENS WE TRIED TO PUSH THE CAR BACK INTO A PARKING SPACE. I THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO COME TOW MY TRUCK TO THE CLOSEST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, LUCKY ME WAS ONLY 23 MILES AWAY. I HAD A FRIEND COME PICK ME UP AND TAKE ME HOME WHERE I WENT ONLINE AND BEGAN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PART. THAT'S WHEN I CAME ACROSS THE RECALL REF THIS PART . UNKNOWN TO ME BECAUSE I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME AND ADVISE ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THEY STATED THEY DIDN'T SHOW ANY RECALLS ON MY VIN NO#,SO THE COST WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I CALLED THE NHTSA INQUIRING ABOUT EVERYTHING RELATING TO RECALL. THEY COULD ONLY CONFIRM THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART.I AM VERY UPSET BECAUSE EVERYONE KEEPS STATING RECALLS ARE BASED ON THE PROBABILITY OF THE PROBLEM HAPPENING TO CERTAIN CARS. WELL I AM HEAR TO SAY MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED BUT IT HAPPEN TO MY CAR. I COULD HAS EASILY ROLLED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR SOMETHING ELSE AND HURT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY. I CAN'T BELIEVE WHEN YOU HAVE 100'S OF THOUSAND OF CARS RECALLED THAT THE MANUFACTURED, IN THIS CASE GM CATCHES THEM ALL.

POWER TRAIN
AS I PULLED OUT FROM WORK, I NOTICED THAT AS THE CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOING INTO SECOND OR THIRD GEAR, THE RPM'S JUST REVVED. I WAS HEADING DOWN A HILL AT THE TIME, AND WHEN IT GOT TO AROUND 30-35 MPH, THE GEAR CAUGHT (THANK GOODNESS BECAUSE IT WAS STARTING TO GET A BIT SCARY AT THAT MOMENT) AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN LIKE NORMAL. I HAD A FEW STOP LIGHTS ALONG THE WAY HOME, AND EACH TIME THAT I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN STARTED DRIVING, THE SAME THING WOULD OCCUR. AS I GOT HOME, I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, DAVID STANLEY CHEVROLET HERE IN OKLAHOMA CITY, TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. IT SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR THE DURATION OF THE WEEKEND, AND THEN I TOOK IT IN THIS MORNING (MONDAY AUG.22ND) FOR MY APPOINTMENT. AS I WAS DRIVING FROM MY HOUSE TO THE DEALERSHIP (AROUND 8 MILES) I NOTICED THAT IT HAD GOTTEN WORSE. A FEW TIMES ON THE TRIP I DID NOT THINK THAT IT WAS GOING TO MAKE IT THE WHOLE WAY THERE AND THEN ABOUT A MILE OR SO FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LATER, I HAD TO GO IN REVERSE AFTER I ARRIVED AND FOUND THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. I DROPPED IT OFF TO HAVE THEM DO THE DIAGNOSTIC ON IT FOR $120. AS I GOT HOME, MY WIFE AND I DID SOME RESEARCH ON OUR CAR, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT MIGHT BE WHILE THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS TAKING PLACE. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I WAS SHOCKED BY WHAT I FOUND. WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE WITH COMMENTS FROM OTHER CHEVY MALIBU OWNERS RANGING FROM 2000, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, AND 2011 DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I WAS HAVING. ALL DESCRIBING A "BROKEN 35R WAVE PLATE" THAT RESULTS IN A "LOSS OF REVERSE GEAR, SLIPPING OR HARSH 3RD OR 5TH GEAR SHIFT". MY HEART SANK AS I READ SOME OF THE COMMENTS SHOWING WHAT WAS NEEDED TO FIX IT AND THEN, OF COURSE THE COST. TECHNICIAN CALLED BACK AND ITS A BROKEN WAVE PLATE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE! THIS IS A WARNING..SOMEONE WILL GET HURT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAS SERVICE AIRBAG ON REPEATEDLY, SEAT BELT ALARM GOES OFF EVEN WHEN SEAT BELT IS PROPERLY FASTENED. WHILE DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SERVICE ESC, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN TO 27 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY SUDDENLY TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN BE FATAL IF OCCURS ON FREEWAY. NO ONE CAN PROVIDE ANY REASON AS TO WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. I HAVE NO WARRANTY ON VEHICLE AND PURCHASED FROM A DEALER 3 YEARS AGO. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND HAVE HAD CAR LOOKED AT BUT THE ONLY SUGGESTION IS TO BLINDLY REPLACE DIFFERENT SENSORS AND PARTS. WE NEED A RECALL DONE SO NO LIVES ARE LOST DUE TO THIS SEVERE CAR MALFUNCTION.

COSTING $700. ON 8/12/16 IT STOPPED RUNNING AGAIN ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR IT BUCKED SOME. TODAY ON 8/13/16 I TRIED TO USE THE CAR TO PICK UP ONE OF MY CHILDREN AND IT STOPPED AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. MY CONCERN IS ONE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. TWO HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT ARE NOT PERTAINING TO THE ISSUE AND THREE I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE ARE THE SAME EXACT COMPAINTS REGARDING CHEVY MALIBUS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BCM ISSUE RESULTING IN BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. BRAKES LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED, AND GO OFF WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON AFTER CAR REACHES A SPEED OF 15 MPH. RECALL PRIOR REPLACED THE HARNESS IN 2014, BUT NOW CHEVY DEALER IS SAYING THIS IS NOT RELATED, YET IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF ORIGINAL RECALL BACK IN 2014. THE RECALL REPAIR IN 2014 SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A BAND-AID ON WHAT COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF A LIFE IF NOT REPAIRED CORRECTLY. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR OF A KNOWN ISSUE THAT GM ONLY PUT A TEMPORARY FIX ON BUT NEVER SOLVED THE ENTIRE PROBLEM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE ERROR CODE IS P0010. I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR 6 MONTHS WITHOUT SOME ISSUE. THIS IS JUST THE LATEST IN A LONG LINE OF PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY STEERING COLUMN WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY 4.5 YEARS OLD. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT ONLY 5.5 YEARS OLD. I JUST HAD TO HAVE THE PASSENGER DOOR FIXED, AS IT LOCKED, AND WOULDN'T OPEN. AND NOW THIS P0010 CODE. I'M FACING YET ANOTHER COSTLY FIX ON THIS CAR. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ERROR CODE SO THAT I AM NOT FORCED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET YET AGAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ON THIS VEHICLE FROM RECALL ID 14V252000, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED ON THE RECALL. THE SERVICE TRACTION, SERVICE ESC AND ESC OFF WARNINGS DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD UNPREDICTABLY. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IDLING OR IN MOTION. WHEN THE WARNINGS POP UP THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE PEDAL,THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF BRIEFLY WHEN DEPRESSED, HOWEVER, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND REMAINS ON. ALSO WHEN THE WARNINGS ARE DISPLAYED, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES, AND I'M ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. TURNING THE KEY OFF RESETS THE WARNINGS, BUT THE WARNINGS AND SYMPTOMS RETURN AGAIN - SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY AND OTHER TIMES IT MAY TAKE HOURS OF DRIVING. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIRS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
1 YEAR AGO MY CAR FLASHED ESC SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL REDUCE ENGINE POWER AND REDUCED MY SPEND TO 40MPH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE! CALLED GM STATED WHAT HAPPEN AND I KNEW THEY HAD A RECALL BUT OF COURSE MY CARS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LOCAL GM DEALER SHIP TO PUT ON MACHINE TO SEE IF ANY CODES WOULD SHOW UP NOTHING CAME UP!!! I WAS TOLD THE MESSAGE WOULD HAVE TO BE SHOWING TO SERVICE VEHICLE. WELL HERE WE ARE A YEAR LATER WITH THE CAR IN THE SHOP BECAUSE MY CAR REDUCES ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING STALLS AND MY ESC SERVICE TRACTION REDUCE ENGINE POWER CAME ON MESSAGE BOARD BUT DID NOT STAY AFTER I TURNED KEY OF COURSE BECAUSE IT SHUT THE CAR OFF AFTER 2-5 MINUTES. I HAVE VIDEO OF IT READING ESC TRACTION SERVICE BUT THAT DOES NOT HELP! CAR NOW NEEDS A NEW TIMING CHAIN AND HAS METAL IN THE OIL! MIND YOU OF I WOULDVE BEEN ABLE TO SERVICE THE ESC TRACTION CONTROL COULD THIS ALL HAVE BEEN AVOIDED? MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP MAYBE 6 MONTHS AGO AND WAS PUT ON THE MACHINE TO GET CODES MINOR CODES CAME UP AND NOT THE ESC TRACTION CONTROL REDUCE ENGINE POWER. CALLED GM TODAY AND WAS TOLD MY MILAGE PLAYED PART IN THIS BUT I DOUBT THAT ONLY BECAUSE AT 68000 IT FLASHED ESC AND SHUT OFF ON ME WITHOUT WARNING SO NOW THEY WILL CONTACT THE SHOP. THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES IT IS A HAZARD TO BE ON THE ROAD! WE CAN NOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE CAR THIS CAR WAS BRAND NEW BUT HAS BEEN PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM ! HEADLIGHTS GO OUT ALL THE TIME AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER BEING FIXED 3 TIMES TRUNK DOES NOT OPEN DEFROSTER THATS A JOKE I COULD GO ON AND ON
