FOR ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THE INCIDENT, 2011 CHEVY MALIBU WAS SHAKING WHEN ACCELERATED ABOVE A CERTAIN SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. TWO DAYS AGO, IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK, WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR, THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE TRACTION SYSTEM AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF AND LIGHTS DID NOT COME BACK ON, BUT DROVE HOME A SAFER ROUTE. THE NEXT NIGHT ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 30 MPH! AND THIS WAS ON A DAY OF LARGE SNOWSTORM AND WAS VERY COLD. SO DANGEROUS. COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. TOOK CAR TO CLOSEBY FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE. BILL WAS OVER 600 DOLLARS. WANT TO WARN GM AND MALIBU OWNERS OF THIS TERRIBY DANGEROUS ISSUE IN THEIR CAR!!!!!

AIR BAG LIGHT JUST KEEPS POPPING ON AND OFF. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN

THE LOW BEAM PORTION OF HEADLIGHTS STARTED GOING OUT AND BACK ON PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING I'VE REPLACED THE BULBS TWICE WITHIN 6 MONTHS AND IT CONTINUES TO REPEAT ISSUE THE BULBS ARE NOT BLOWN. MULTIPLE REPORTS ONLINE OF THIS ISSUE BUT NO RECALL. IF HEADLIGHTS FAIL DURING DARK DRIVING CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS OR EVEN FATAL ACCIDENTS.THE INFORMATION ONLINE SUGGESTS WIRING HARNESS ISSUES

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON A CITY STREET, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT, THE EVS SERVICE LIGHT, THEN TRACTION LIGHT & BACK TO NO POWER STEERING LIGHT. WAS ABLE TO MAKE HARD TURNS TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT. TURNED THE CAR OFF & ON - ALL LIGHTS WENT BACK TO NORMAL. CALLED THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WAS "MY CALL" IF I WANTED TO BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE. DANGEROUS AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED & SURPRISED THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEBODY ELSE AT THAT SPEED.

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT GOES OUT RANDOMLY. WIRING AND HEADLIGHT HAVE BEEN REPLACED, AND DOES NOT SEEM TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS APPROX.EVERY 6 MONTHS IF NOT MORE. YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE FRONT BUMPER TO GET TO THE HEADLIGHT WHICH IS A PAIN IF DONE YOURSELF. VERY EXPENSIVE IF YOU PAY A MECHANIC.

MY CARS STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO MAKE NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL THEN IT STARTED TO MOVE SLIGHTLY.VERY SLIGHTLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AFTER A LITTLE BIT MORE OF DRIVING THE SAME DAY. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK AND ONLY LOCKED ONCE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED
