Having problems with my rear stop lights, traction control/ indicator light, ECS/ indicator light. When driving center brake light remains on but when I need to apply brakes they go off, lights on dashboard have been on since I purchased the vehicle which were never addressed the only light addressed was the check engine light. All other issues were voided being that they let me drive down to N.C. knowing it would void my warranty with them after putting 1 thousand miles on the vehicle without notication to me.

My steering wheel shakes and jerks while driving and when I start the car. Also, my car steers and pulls to the left while I’m driving until the electric power steering light comes on and then the steering locks up and I am unable to turn the steering wheel to make a turn which can lead to a crash because I have to force the wheel in order to turn. I was driving on the highway and my steering locked and I pulled over safely and tried turning the car off and on. This has turned the electric power steering light off and I was able to turn the wheel but my steering wheel still shakes and jerks and the car pulls to the left. To add, a few minutes later my steering locks up and the electric power steering light comes on again and I am unable to turn the steering wheel. A couple of days ago I was coming off of an exit and the power steering light came on and I could turn the wheel to make the turn, almost causing an accident. Fortunately, I was able to force the steering to make the turn. *This has been a reoccurring issue. I will post the date below for the latest occurrence.

The passenger front light stops working no matter his w many times I fix it. Replaced bulb 3 times within two weeks. Works for 1-2 days then stops. Everyone I know who has a Malibu is having the same problem. The right wheel rubs and makes noise. No matter how many times I have it fixed, no matter how many times I replace the noise continues. Mechanic cannot figure out why.

POWER STEERING FAILS WHILE DRIVING, HAD TO SHUT MY CAR OFF WHILE I TRIED TO MAKE A TURN ON THE HIGWAY. THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED AT HOME ON MAY 2020, CAR LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. DASHBOARD WILL SAY TRACTION OFF, ESC OFF AND IT WON'T LET ME MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES FOR IT TO COME BACK. CAR IS AT ROUGHLY 133K MILES AND HAD NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS. ALSO, WHEN I DRIVE MY FRONT SIDE OF THE CAR SHAKES AS IF IT IS GOING OVER STUFF. I REPLACED BOTH CV JOINTS, GOTTEN THE CAR ALIGNED, AND BALANCED MY TIRES AND THEY STILL CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE WITH IT. ONLY RECALL THAT POPS UP IS THE ELECTRONIC, BUT I BELIEVE IT HAS THE STEERING RECALL AS WELL.

THE CALIPER ARMS ON BOTH OF MY PASSENGER SIDE TIRES HAVE GOTTEN STUCK, WORE DOWN THE NEW BRAKE PADS COMPLETELY AND DESTROYED THE ROTORS OF MY CAR IN THE PAST. THE DEALERSHIP'S WARRANTY HAD COVERED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PADS, CORRECTION OF ARMS AND ROTORS PREVIOUSLY BUT THE SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AFTER MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND WAS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE GOT STUCK THE SENSOR FOR MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS SHOWING BUT THERE WAS NO HESITATION OR ISSUE WITH BREAKING. A SOFT DRAGGING SOUND LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THE SENSOR ITSELF HAD DISCONNECTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND WAS DRAGGING ON THE GROUND AND MAKING A SOFT BUT STRANGE NOISE. ITS GOING TO TAKE ME 2 WEEKS TO GET INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN APPOINTMENT ' SINCE THEN, MY REAR ROTOR HAS BECOME EFFECTED AND WILL NEED REPLACING. THIS MORNING THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SENSOR REMAINED ON THE SCREEN BUT WHEN I FIRST STARTED DRIVING AND ATTEMPTED TO USE MY BREAKS, I DID NOT STOP AND MY FOOT TOUCHED THE GROUND AS I PRESSED THE PEDAL. AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY OFFICE (ABOUT 45 MINUTES OF MORNING COMMUTE), MORE LIGHTS LIT UP THE BACK PANEL INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY BREAK LIGHT, THE 'BRAKE FLUID,' WARNING, 'SERVICE ESC,' FOLLOWED BY 'ESC OFF' SCROLLED ACROSS THE DASH AND MY BREAKS DID NOT WORK AT ALL WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SLOWLY STOP. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ESC WARNING LIGHT COMING ON PREVIOUSLY AND STOPPING MY POWER STEERING FROM WORKING BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE WARNING SO THEY COULDN'T HELP ME.

1) AWHILE BACK, AFTER STARTING AND WARMING ENGINE AND TAKING OFF, WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ON CITY STREET, CAR TURN OFF COMPLETELY..WHEEL FROZE AFTER TURN. I TURNED KEY OFF AND RESTARTED CAR AND IT WOULD WORK OK. IT HAPPENED 3 0R 4 TIMES. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. 2) WHILE ON FREEWAY, TIRE MONITOR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TWICE, I BOUGHT TIRES BUT DID NOT HAVE MONITORS CHECKED. A FEW DAYS LATER ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW, I NEEDED SMOG DONE, HAD TO REPLACE CATALIC CONVERTER (1400.00) AND MECHANIC HAS A PROBLEM WITH CAR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM. ITS COSTING ME TOO MUCH. THERE IS RECALL ON SOMETHING HAVING TO DO WITH BRAKES.. COULD THIS COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEM BE RELATED? I DID HAVE BRAKE PADS REPLACED LAST YEAR. THE RECALL HAS TO WITH BCM AND BAS (MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS OCCASSIONALLY FLUCTUATE AND TAKE A WHILE FOR LIGHTS TO COME ON BRIGHT WITH DASHBOARD BUTTON ALL WAY TO BRIGHT.). REMOTE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT CAR IN 2010...DOORS HAVE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY..EXCEPT FOR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, POWER WINDOWS DO NOT WORK. MY CONCERN RIGHT NOW IS HAVING IT SMOGGED AND TIRE MONITORS.

I AM AN OWNER OF A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU. FOR THE LAST YEAR OR MORE, I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH WHAT I THEN BELIEVED WAS TIRES SLOWLY LEAKING AIR. THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORST, AND FINALLY THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS I'VE HAVE WOKE UP TO A COMPLETELY FLAT TIRE. TODAY I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE TIRE. THE TIRE IS PERFECTLY FINE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS MY RIM THAT IS CAUSING THE LEAK. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH NOT ONLY MY CAR, BUT A LOT OF OTHER CHEVROLET MALIBU VEHICLE'S RIMS. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHEN MY CAR HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND NO NEGLIGENCE ON MY BEHALF. IT IS OBVIOUS FROM MY WEB SEARCHES ON THIS ISSUE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
