2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

SERVICE ESC TRACTION ALERTS AND ENGINE SOUNDS AS THOUGHT IT WILL STALL - HAD MAP SENSOR REPLACED, A FEW MONTHS LATER ISSUE HAS RETURNED. OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED.

DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMPS GOING OUT. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS. NO AUTOMOBILE SHOULD GO THROUGH HEADLAMPS AT THAT RATE. TO COMPLICATE THIS ISSUE, THE ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER MUST BE REMOVED TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS. I'VE READ ON THE FORUMS WHERE MANY MALIBU OWNERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE(S) WITH THE HEADLAMPS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND GM/CHEVROLET SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL WITH CORRECTIVE ACTION.

MY DIM HEADLIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT AND I KEPT HAVING TO CHANGE MY BULBS. TO COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS MY WIRING HARNESS AND I'VE HAD TO CHANGE IT TWICE. MY BRIGHT LIGHTS DO GOOD. IT'S JUST THE DIM LIGHTS. PLEASE RECALL THIS. IT'S A HEADACHE TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. I'VE ALSO READ THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE'S CHEVY MALIBUS HEADLIGHTS ARE MESSING UP TOO. EVERYTIME I PASS A MALIBU ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BURNED OUT. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY BECAME WOBBLY AND LEANS TO RIGHT SIDE. NOTICED BAR IN UNDERNEATH FRAME OF SEAT HAS BROKEN AT A WELD, MAKING THE DRIVER'S SEAT VERY SHAKY AND UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS STYLE OF MALIBU SEATS AND A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. THIS ISSUE SHOULD PROVOKE A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT BY GM.

I'VE HAD READ SO MANY VEHICLES WITH SAME ISSUES ON ALL THESE MODELS I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR PUT A HIGH DOWN PAYMENT TO BE GETTING LEFT EVERYWHERE ALL CHEVY DEALERS DONT KNOW WHERE TO START AND OVER PRICE IT ALL YOU ALL SHOULD LOOK INTO IT BECAUSE ITS SOMETHING SERIOUS . CAR WONT START AFTER BEING USED A WHILE, YOU HAVE TO MESS WITH CABLES AND WIRES FOR IT TO START MESS WITH FUSE BOXES AND ALSO SOMETIMES IT DOESNT WORK.. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT I'M ANNOYED OF THIS CRAP

POWER STEERING WENT OUT DRIVER THE 2012 MALIBU ON THE STREET. LOCKED UP AND ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO FAULTY POWER STEERING.

MY CAR WOULD TURN BUT NOT START SO I CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP. IT WAS STARTED FOR LIKE 5 DAYS THEN IT STARTED AGAIN WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START SO WE CHANGE THE FUEL BOX IN THE TRUNK. WORKED FOR LIKE A WEEK AND IT STARTED ACTING AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THE DIDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. SO WE TOOK IT TO A TECHNICIAN AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. PAID TO GET IT FIX BUT IT STILL WASN'T IT. STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT MALFUNCTIONING MULTIPLE TIMES IN PAST YEAR. HEAD LIGHT WILL GO OUT, AT FIRST COULD TAP ON HEAD LIGHT AND IT WOULD COME BACK ON. HAVE CHANGED PIGTAIL AND BULBS ONLY TO HAVE IT WORK FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

MY POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF FOR THE POWER STEERING TO WORK. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND THE ESC IS ON.

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM GOES OUT EVERY COUPLE DAYS TO 2 WEEKS. BULB AND WIRE HARNESS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND ONLY CORRECTED THE ISSUE FOR A SHORT TIME.
