2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

MY 2012 MALIBU 1LT HAS SOME OF THE SAME ISSUES THE RECALLS ARE FOR BUT MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. MY DRIVER SEAT MOVES WHEN SITTING IN IT AND I NEED A RACK-AND-PINION. I'M ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH A 'ROUGH' IDLE AND WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK THE RPM'S DIE DOWN BETWEEN 1&0 AND THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT'S TRYING TO CUT OFF.

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY MALIBU AND SINCE NOVEMBER WE HAVE HAD HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS AND CHANGES BULBS AND GOT A NEW WIRE HARNESS AND WE STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT GOING OUT. IT IS A REAL PAIN CAUSE IT TAKES A BIT TO EVEN GET TO THE HEADLIGHT. HAVE TO TAKE THE BUMBER OFF AND REAL FRUSTRATING.

AIR BAGS LIGHT KEEP COMING ON HAD A RECALL TO HAVE IT REPLACE BEFORE BUT LIGHT CAME BACK ON

PASSENGER HEAD LIGHT HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES IT KEEPS TURNING OFF. LIGHT BULB IS NOT BURNED. WHEN TAPING ON OR MOVING WIRES LIGHT GOES ON REPLACED WIRES AND STILL HAVING SAME ISSUE. VEHICLE CAN NOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT TIME. ALL THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED ON.

LEFT LOW BEAM KEEPS GOING OUT AND BULB NOT BURNT OUT. REPLACED 3X IN THE PASSED YEAR

RIGHT LOW BEAM KEEPS BURNING OUT TWICE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND REPAIRED BY A CHEV DEALER TWICE WENT OUT SETTING IN GARAGE AND REPLACED BY A CERTIFIED AUTO SHOP

IVE HAD TO DROP THE CAR OF 8 TIMES NOW TO TRY AND REPAIR THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT WHICH KEEPS GOING OUT. PIGTAILS CONNECTORS AND BULB ALL REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES IT STARTED WITH LAGGING TO START I WOULD TURN THE KEY AND LITERALLY LET GO AND THEN IT WOULD START. NOW IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WANT TO START . WHEN IT DOES MY SENSORS ARE ALL MESSED UP . FIRST TIME MY AIRBAG WARNING WAS COMING UP . NEXT MY SENSORS ON MY TIRES WERE NOT WORKING THEN I STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND I WOULD STOP PUSHING THE GAS THE GAUGE WILL GO UP AND DOWN. THE LAST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON BUT TURNED OFF. I TRIED TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS DONE BUT OF COURSE NOTHING CAME OF IT . SO NOW MY CAR IS JUST SITTING IN MY GARAGE UNTIL I FIGURE IT OUT. BUT THERE ARE NO TYPE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING THAT COMES ON BEFORE THE CAR STARTS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY

MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO SHOW A POWER STEERING WARNING.THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS NUMBER 15356, 08/28/2015, CAMPAIGN - ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE WARRANTY INFO. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. I FEEL IT IS GOING TO LOSE POWER STEERING ASSIST AT ANY TIME. THIS COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE MALIBUS COVERED BY THE RECALL. THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THIS PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD TO 2012 MALIBUS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED AT THIS TIME.

I HAVE REPLACED MY LOW BEAMS 3 TIMES THIS YEAR. THE FIRST TIME I REAPLACED ALL THE BULBS. THE SECOND TIME I REAPLACED BOTH WIRING HARNESS AND BULBS. A MONTH AGO I REPLACED THE PASSENGER BULB AND NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM IS OUT AGAIN. IT HAS COST ME ANYWHERE FROM $100-$200 EACH TIME TO DO THIS! I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY DASH TELLING ME SERVICE ESC, ESC OFF, AND SERVICE TRACTION. A RECALL IN 2014 ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE AND MY VIN SAYS THE RECALL HAS BEEN SERVICED BUT I AM STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE. IT HAPPENS WITH THE CAR IN PARK AND WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON FOR HOURS SOMETIMES MINUTES.
