2012 Chevrolet Malibu Complaint Log

This car will not start!!!! It starts when it feels like it. I’ve been stranded after work so many times for unknown reasons. Multiple mechanics have inspected car and cannot find the issue. Go on YouTube and search for this year car and you’ll find so many people in the same situation as me. The car has battery but the engine will not start. GM cars have this issue in common and it’s ridiculous GM cannot stand behind their brand. Please HELP US!!!

While parked or driving this vehicle shuts down on its own, sometimes on the freeway going 65 mph. The fuse located in the trunk has a faulty connection and a wire that isn’t efficient for heat from fuel pump so it shuts down while driving and sometimes won’t start. This is gonna kill someone when it shuts off on the freeway in traffic. I’ve read up on this being a regular problem with the Malibu

My vehicle fail to restart vehicle, but vehicle was running good before. Once I turn off the vehicle for couple of minutes when I returned back to my vehicle and tried to turn vehicle on it would not allow me to turn on lights on vehicle would stay on when taking key out of ignition. I kept trying couple of time until I open the hood to check battery move battery cables tried again until vehicle turn on. Once vehicle had turn on and put vehicle in reverse dashboard lights started turning on check engine a service warning message display and speed meter would go up and down. When going forward the steering wheel became hard to control while vehicle would go toward slowly then stop go fast and slowly again until I got home turn vehicle off. Didn't drive it anymore until two days later. The second time I was on the freeway when my vehicles speed started to significantly reduce speed very quickly. I became concern with my safety until I was able to pull over on the side of freeway car turned off. When trying to restart vehicle would fail to turn back on had to tow vehicle back home. I tried turning vehicle back on failed at first on the last try vehicle turned on but when putting on reverse or drive vehicle became undriveable thier was no movement on vehicle and speed meter would not move . I just purchased this vehicle only had 8 months with it I payed $5000 plus $600 on plates. I do make my vehicle available for inspection it is very dangerous going through this specially on highway. I checked my onstart vehicle report but it does not show that anything is wrong on the report. My insurance provider Geico car details only show it needs and oil change. I also notice that in the vehicle history shows it has an oil leak. I can not afford to pay for a mechanic at this moment my vehicle is just park at home now.

Vehicle air bag service light activated. Vehicle checked by licensed mechanic and showed a code indicating a shortage in left airbag side. Exact location of short not yet identified.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while a passenger was seated in the front passenger’s seat, the passenger’s side air bag warning light would not illuminate. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the seat cushion pad needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

I HAVE AN ONGOING ISSUE IN WHICH THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2012 MALIBU LOCKS UP AND IT'S EXTREMELY HARD TO ROTATE THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE TURNS....IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FROM BEING PARKED FROM A COLD START TO RECENTLY ACTIVELY HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD/HIGHWAY. THE COMPUTER DASH DISPLAY POPS UP SAYING POWER STEERING THEN SAYS SERVICE ESC

ECS LIGHT FLASHED BEFORE THE CAR LOST POWER AND STEERING

I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO A CHEVROLET CENTER NEAR ME TO HAVE A 'MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY FIX' DONE TO MY VEHICLE ON 04/17/2021, AS THE POWER STEERING HAD FAILED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED FOR FREE. WHEN I TURNED MY VEHICLE ON AND NOTICED THE POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION ON MY DASH, I TRIED TO BACK MY CAR OUT OF WHERE I WAS PARKED AND MOVE MY WHEEL, BUT COULD NOT MOVE THE WHEEL. WHEN THE PART WAS REPLACED, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE STILL SENSORS ON MY DASH INDICATING THAT I NEEDED THE ESC AND STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SERVICED FOR MY CAR. ACCORDING TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, THIS HAD 'NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SPECIAL POLICY FIX' AND NOT SOMETHING THEY WOULD BE FIXING FOR ME. AFTER CHECKING THE NHTSA.GOV FOR ANY RECALLS ON MY 2012 CHEVY MALIBU, I FOUND ONE FROM MAY 2014 THAT DESCRIBED EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE: LOSS OF VEHICLE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL, CRUISE CONTROL AND RANDOM ILLUMINATION OF BRAKE LIGHTS. I CONTACTED CHEVY ONCE AGAIN ABOUT THIS RECALL, TO WHICH THEY SAID THERE 'WAS NO RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE, AND IF THERE WAS IT WAS ALREADY FIXED'. NOT ONLY WAS THIS COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND LACKING CONCERN OF SAFETY FOR MY CHILD AND I, I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO TURN TO FOR THIS TO BE REMEDIED. ATTACHED IS THE TICKET FOR THE INITIAL FIX I HAD DONE.

The brake caplier screw came out why driving the vehicle and broke the brake line and the vehicle lost control try to use the emergency brake and it didn't work vehicle crash

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ESC WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUBURBAN CHEVROLET CADILLAC COLLISION OF ANN ARBOR (3515 JACKSON RD STE B, ANN ARBOR, MI 48103, (734) 663-3321) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING BATTERY, AND NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,017.*DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN WITH A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND SPUTTERING ENGINE. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED TWICE AND WAS RECOMMENDED TO BE REPLACED THIRD TIME.

I HAVE CHANGED MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT 3 TIMES AND PIGTAIL ONCE AND IT STILL KEEPS GOING OUT CALLED CHEVY THEY KNOW ITS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS I PAY NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER

VEHICLE IS STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING, THEN WHEN SHUTS OFF IT WILL NOT START BACK UP. FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, WORKED GREAT FOR 1 WHOLE DAY THEN DID THE SAME THING, LEFT ME STRANDED. FUSE BOX WAS THEN REPLACED. RAN GREAT AGAIN UNTIL RECENTLY IT STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY STREET CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE HIT. PINS IN THE FUSE BOX WERE REPLACED, BUT I'M STILL HAVING ISSUES, IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE FUSEBOX WIRING ITSELF, BECAUSE I'M ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THINGS RAN OFF OF THAT FUSE BOX! THIS GETTING RIDICULOUS I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 4 MONTHS AND IT'S BEEN THE WORST CAR YET I'VE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE LEAVE ME STRANDED. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED

HAVING ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT AFTER REPLACING IT STILL SEE THE LIGHT GOES IN AND OUT I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ONLINE AND SEE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT AND EVERYBODY EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THE LIGHT WILL GO IN AND OUT EVEN AFTER YOU REPLACE THE BULB.

THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN AND IT'S GETTING WORSE AND WORSE WHEN IT IS UNLOCKED THE WHEEL SHAKES LIKE CRAZY AND IT HAS NO GRIP WHEN U TURN IN THE CAR IT IS UNLOCKED BUT AS U DRIVING IT IT LOCKS IT'S SELFNL. AT A INTERSECTION AS I WAS AT A A COMPLETE STOP ONCE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAKER THE STEERING WHEEL ALMOST HIT THE THE CAR IN THE NEXT LANE

POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL IS TWITCHING AND JERKING.

AS TIME IS GOING ON THE STEERING IS GETTING LESS CONTROLLABLE. I HAVE YET TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BUT I CAN FEEL THE CAR SWERVING A BIT WHEN I'M STEERING (SWERVING I DIDN'T DO). I LOOKED UP MY VIN ON ISEECARS.COM TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AT ALL WITH THE STEERING AND THERE WAS IN 2014 . I BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST YEAR SO I AM THE OWNER AND AM NOT SURE HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS. I GOT IT CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC SAID THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE RACK AND PINION AND SHAFT . ALSO MY PASSENGER SEATBELT LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES AND THERE HAVE BEEN MINOR ISSUES WITH THEM.

ESC LIGHT CAME ON, LOST POWER STEERING WHILE MANEUVERING ON EXTREMELY ICY CURVE ON FREEWAY. FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE MUSCLE THE CAR TO SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT ACCIDENT. FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINANTS ON NHTSA WEB SITE FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE, BUT COULDN'T FIND WHERE THERE WAS ANY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE PER MY CARS VIN NUMBER. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

ON WEDNESDAY JANUARY 6, 2021, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM PICKING MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN FROM THE CENTER DIVIDER AND MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN! THIS CAUSED ME TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY CITY STREET AND TO PARK UP ON THE CURB TO AVOID ONGOING TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL MANUALLY WITH A LOT OF STRENGTH BUT IT DID NOT MOVE. THEN A WARNING SIGNAL APPEARED SAYING (POWER STEERING). I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO SEE IF THIS HELPED, IT DID. AFTER I GOT HOME I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. I AM WAITING TO SEE IF THIS REPAIR IS COVERED UNDER CHEVROLET'S WARRANTY REGARDING EPS (ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING) VEHICLES.

Check Engine light on Dash: variable valve timing problem detailed. Engine could wreck.

THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT DOESN'T WORK. I PUT IN A NEW LED LIGHT ASSEMBLY IN AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT EVEN AFTER I CHANGE THEM. THE DRIVER SIDE HAS BEEN CHANGED 3 TIMES, EVERYTIME IT WENT OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS. THIS LAST TIME IT WENT OUT WITHIN TWO HOURS AFTER CHANGING IT. IT DOESN'T HELP THAT I HAVE TO DO TAKE THE ENTIRE BUMPER OFF TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHT; NOT MAKING IT THE EASIEST TASK.

2012 MALIBU ESC WARNING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL GOES ON. BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I STOP AT LIGHT OR STOP SIGN NO BRAKE LIGHT. HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND AT STOPLIGHT. IF I STOP AND SHUT CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WILL START WITHOUT WARNING LIGHT. SOMETIMES CAR DOES NOT START CAR HAS STOPPED WHILE MOVING IN TRAFFIC AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD.I HAVE REPLACED FUEL PUMP TWICE, FUEL PUMP RELAYS NUMEROUS TIMES. FUEL PUMP RELAY IS HOT (OVERHEATS AND STOP FUEL PRESSURE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE SERVICED MANY TIMES AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER AND STILL NOT RUNNING CONSISTENTLY. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL START, STOP WHILE DRIVING, OR NOT START AT ALL. PLEASE RECALL THIS CAR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROL MODULE AS WELL AS WIRING ISSUES RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP. PLEASE HELP ME.

THE ESC SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP.

I'VE BEEN SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT HEADLIGHT FAILURE.LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE ...PLUS YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE FRONT TRIM PANEL TO ACCESS THE BULB. VERY BAD DESIGN.

ESC WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND TRACTION CONTROL. BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN YOU BRAKE GOES OUT. DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKE LIGHT ON AT RED LIGHT AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES. JUST AN FYI I NOTICE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON OTHER MALIBU'S AND WAS RECALLED WHY NOT THIS ONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

I HIT A DEER ON THE DRIVE SIDE AND SEAT BROKE. IT MOVES WHEN I SIT IT IT AND THE INSURANCE WON'T BUT TO HAVE IT FIX BECAUSE THEY STATE IT IS A PROBLEM THAT THE MALIBU'S HAVE.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM REPORTING THIS CAR AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT! I HAVE PUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS CAR ALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AS HAS MANY OTHERS. THERE ARE STARTING AND STOPPING ISSUES RELATED TO THE WIRING FOR THE FUEL PUMP. JUST GO ON ANY GM FORUM AND YOU WILL SEE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. WHY MUST YOU WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES DUE TO THIS. STOPPING WHILE DRIVING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE KEPT ALL RECORDS OF REPAIRS AND COMPLAINTS ALL RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR MY FAMILY WILL BE PREPARED TO BRING FORTH LAWSUITS. HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU RECEIVE FROM GM TO NOT ACT ON THIS PROBLEM. YOUR FORM ASKS FOR A DATE THIS HAPPENED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR YEARS.

CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING POSING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING OR THEY WILL NOT COME ON WHILE STOPPING THEN THE SERVICE ESC COMES ON ALONG WITH SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT RANDOM TIMES NOT ALWAYS AN ISSUE THERE WAS A RECALL PERFORMED ON VEHICLE IN THE PAST FOR SAME ISSUE BUT NOW CAN'T GET SERVICE ţO RELOOK AT THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DOESN'T COME BACK BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION COMES BACK BRAKE APPLY SENSOR HAD REPLACED SAME ISSUE 2 HOURS LATER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS WERE MELTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED 7 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS TOO MUCH VOLTS GOING TO THE HEADLIGHT WIRING CONNECTORS CAUSING THE CONNECTORS TO MELT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VAN CHEVROLET (100 NW VIVION RD, KANSAS CITY, MO 64118, 816-527-8564) TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, A WEEK LATER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT EMAILED THE MANUFACTURER AND RECEIVED A RESPONSE WHICH STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

I'VE REPLACED LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS 4 TIMES (3 ON PASSENGER SIDE) THE PAST 13 MONTHS; THE HIGH BEAMS 3 TIMES (2 ON PASSENGER SIDE). HAD TO RUN ON HIGH BEAMS ONLY FOR APPROX 2 MONTHS CAUSE BOTH LOW BEAMS WENT OUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER REPLACING THEM. BEEN BUYING THE HIGHER END BULBS AND BEEN CAREFUL TO NOT TOUCH THEM. HAD TO REPLACE YET OTHER BULB TONIGHT CAUSE HIGH BEAM WENT OUT. REPLACED 1 HIGH BEAM AND 2 LOW BEAMS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM WENT OUT ON THE WAY HOME ABOUT 15 MILES.

I'VE CHANGED MY PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT 3 TIMES AND IT KEEPS GOING OUT. I'VE HAD THIS DONE 3 TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER 2020. ALSO, MY LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTONS DO NOT WORK, EXCEPT FOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, ONLY THE UNLOCK SIDE OF THE BUTTON WORKS. I'VE HAD THIS CAR SINCE SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER I BELIEVE OF 2018. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING AND I'VE WAISTED OVER $500 GETTING IT REPLACED.

The fuse box in the trunk (Body Control Module or BCM) has completely melted the rear defrost fuse into the block. A central piece of the fuse was removed once the issue was identified preventing the system from continuing to send electrical current through the fuse and possibly sparking or shorting out other essential systems (such as the fuel pump which seems to be a common problem). I have not taken this to be seen by a dealer, but intend to replace the BCM so as to prevent the fuses from completely melting. Overall, there was no indication of the issue until I realized that the rear defrost wasn't working when there was a light frost on the windows. This is when I checked the fuses and found the issue.

THE WELD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HAS BROKEN MAKING THE SEAT UNSTABLE. I WAS GETTING INTO THE CAR AND HEARD IT SNAP THEN FALL TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GM NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND NOT CHARGE PEOPLE $1000+ TO FIX IT. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT, ONLY A MINOR REAR END COLLISION THAT DID MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE REAR BUMPER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START-UP WITH AN ABNORMAL CLUNKING AND BANGING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS SLIGHTLY DETACHED AND BECAME LOOSENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HEISER CHEVROLET WEST ALLIS (10200 W ARTHUR AVE, WEST ALLIS, WI 53227; (414) 327-2300) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILURE HAD CAUSED ADDITIONAL ENGINE DAMAGE. THE FULL DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 85,000.

I bought the car a year ago from a used car lot. Replaced the cam shaft positioning sensor as per diagnostic reading for check engine light. Since then, svc air bag light has stayed on. Traction control light stays on and is disengaged. When braking ESC warning goes on and off and sliding occurs. The low beam headlights go on and off intermittently and no way of knowing when it will happen. When turning cruise control on or off, the car will accelerate on its own and will increase speed until brake is applied. Regardless of whether cruise control was turned on or off. I have had it looked at at my local Mr.Tire and they cannot figure out what is happening.

THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULB 6 TIMES IN TWO WEEKS. I HAVE CHANGED THE PLUG AND IT STILL KEEPS GOING OUT. IT IS THE LOW BEAM LIGHT BULB THAT MALFUNCTIONS. I HAVE CHANGED THE SWITCH FOR THE LIGHTS AND ALSO TOOK IT TO A CAR SHOP. NOTHING IS FIXING IT.

WHILE DRIVING PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM STOPPED WORKING, THEN CAME BACK ON AFTER A FEW DAYS. NOW BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING. HIGH BEAMS ARE FINE. I ALWAYS USED THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTING TO HAVE THEM TURN ON/OFF FOR ANYTIME I DRIVE. LOW BEAMS REQUIRED NEW HEADLAMPS AND MELTED RELAY, REPLACED THAT AS WELL. SERVICE ESC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON DASH, THEN TURN OFF, THEN COME BACK ON. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND WON'T EVER STAY ON LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE CHECKED. USUALLY IT HAPPENS WHEN STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND THEN WHEN YOU START TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT GOES OFF.

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. I'VE CHANGED IT 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V269000 (SEAT BELTS). THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TERRE HAUTE CHEVROLET (5377 S US HWY 41, TERRE HAUTE, IN 47802) AND HAD THE RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED. RECENTLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT LATCH ANCHOR DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 143,000.

WHEN I GET IN MY CAR I NOTICE THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON IN AN ARE WHERE CERTAIN PEOPLE DON'T LIKE ME AT LIKE CUBA MO THERE IS A CONSPIRACY GOING ON OUT HERE EVER SENSE THEY TOOK MY KIDS ILLEGALLY IT'S BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND I DON'T WANT TO GET HURT OR HURT NOBODY PLEASE HELP MY GAS LEAVES QUICK ALSO I KNOW MY CAR IS BEING HACKED BECAUSE THEY DO THAT A LOT OUT THERE AND SURROUNDING CITIES THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND WHEN I'M OUT THE CAR IT'LL COME ON THERE IS ALSO A TRACKING DEVICE ON IT THAT I DIDN'T PUT ON THERE ALSO I PUT GAS IN MY CAR THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOES DOWN TO LOW FUEL I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP AT JD BY RIDER IN ROLLA MO*DT*JB

PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BURNED OUT 6 TIMES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED EACH TIME. DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM BURNED OUT TWICE AND REPLACED EACH TIME. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED EVERY TIME ONE WENT OUT. THIS WAS DONE TO BE SAFE AS IT IS DIFFICULT AND TIME CONSUMING TO REPLACE. CURRENTLY DRIVER'S SIDE IS VERY DIM AND PASSENGER SIDE IS OUT AGAIN AND VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AT RANDOM TIMES AND HAVE CAUSED VERY POOR NIGHT VISION. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS, BUT HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER TWICE BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE. A COUPLE INCIDENTS THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF WHEN HIT BUMPS IN ROAD. I READ MANY REVIEWS AND BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE, GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLES TO FIX IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND CAR WENT INTO ENGINE POWER REDUCE MODE, RAPIDLY SLOWED DOWN TO 35 MILES AN HOUR.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT LOW TRAC LIGHT COMES ON SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION

I WAS DRIVING TO TOWN AND EVERYTHING STOP WORKING. IT SCARD THE CRAP OUT OF ME. I TOOK IT TO SMITH CHEVY IN TURLOCK CA THEY SAID THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND CHARAGED ME 489.00. LUCKY IT DIDNT KILL ME. GM MOTORS NEED TO DO A RECALL ON IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR LOSE THERE LIFE.

MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS (TWICE IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS). I AM A SINGLE MOM AND CANNOT AFFORD TO CONTINUOUSLY PAY $180 TO HAVE BULBS REPLACED. I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP BECAUSE THE FRONT BUMPER HAS TO BE REMOVED. THIS LAST TIME, THE LEFT LOW BEAM LIGHT, WOULD GO ON AND OFF AND THEN IT JUST FINALLY WENT OUT. IT DID NOT MATTER IF I WAS SITTING STILL OR IF THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, HOWEVER, I DID NOTICE IT HAPPENED MORE WHEN I WOULD HIT BUMPS. IT IS ALMOST LIKE THEIR IS A LOOSE WIRE SOMEWHERE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THE FAULTY ISSUES THAT MYSELF AND OTHERS ARE HAVING.

WHILE DRIVING TO SCHOOL GOING ROUGHLY FROM IDLE TO 10MPH AS STARTED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY THE ESC SERVICES POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. NEEDLESS TO SAY ME BEING 5'3" AND 98 POUNDS DIDN'T HELP ME MUCH TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I SLOWLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GATHERED MYSELF NOT KNOWING WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND GATHERED MY THOUGHTS. LUCKILY I WAS ON STRAIGHT AWAY WITH NO TURNS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. SO I PRECEEDED TO TURN THE CAR ON AND NOTICED THE MESSAGE WAS GONE SO I CHECKED THE STEERING AND THE PROBLEM LIGHT WAS GONE. WELL WITH THAT SAID, THAT WAS THE FIRST THIS HAD HAPPENED. AND NOW IT HAS PROGRESSED DURING THE WINTER. I DON'T KNOW IF THE COLD HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. BUT THIS IS SCARY AND GM SHOULD TRY TO ADDRESS IT. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW THAT RECALL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. THE PROBLEM IS STARTING TO HAPPEN WHEN I START MY CAR NOW.

ENGINE STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR WAITING FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT. CALLED MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. HE SAID ECS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. I WAS 10 MILES FROM MY HOME WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO STALL AND IT STOPPED 6 TIMES BEFORE GETTING HOME. ENGINE HESITATED, HAD TO PUMP ACCELERATOR TO GET IT GOING AND STEERING WAS DIFFICULT. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM?

I TURNED MY CAR ON THIS MORNING AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT AND THE DASHBOARD SAID SERVICE AIR BAG. IT WAS HUMID AND HOT THE PAST FEW DAYS. I LOOKED UP ISSUES WITH 2012 CHEVY MALIBU'S AIR BAGS, THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THEM BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS.
