2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN REQUIRING VEHICLE TO BE RESTARTED FREQUENTLY.

WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE PLACE I RESIDE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WHEEL STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY WHICH CAUSED US TO DRIVE INTO A CURB , CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE UP ONTO A CURB FLATTENING BOTH SIDES OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR AS WELL ALMOST CLIPPING A CAR AT THE LIGHT TO OUR LEFT...THE KIDS ON BACK SEAT WERE COMPLETELY TERRIFIED BECAUSE THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON AND ARE STILL SCARED TO GET INTO A VEHICLE...AS WELL HAVE A PPLICE REPORT COULD PROBABLY OBTAIN IF NEED BE.. WE JUST WANT CAR FOXED RIGHT WAY NOT TRYING TO SUE ANYBODY OR GET AOME OUTRAGEOUS SETTLEMENT ....

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT GOING OUT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2014 AND MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. CHANGED THE PIGTAILS LAST TIME AND IAM NOW HAVING TO CHANGE THE WIRING HARNESS COMPLETELY AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP. MY CARS LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON AUTO AND ALWAYS BEGINS WITH MY PASSANGER LOW BEAM LIGHT GOING OUT FIRST THEN THE DRIVER SIDE A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER, HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE AND DURING DRIVING. MY HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I HAVE HAD A PROFFESIONAL MECHANIC CHANGE THEM AND THE LAST COUPLE TIMES I'VE CHANGED THEM MYSELF NOW DUE TO COST. REMOVING THE WHOLE BUMPER REALLY MAKES THIS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO CHANGE. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND THEY HAVE ALSO THE SAME PROBLEM, ITS ACTUALLY BECOME VERY COMMON TO SEE MANY CHEVY'S WITH A HEAD LIGHT OUT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS NOTED CAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE COMPANY. PLEASE HELP!

"TAKATA RECALL" IF I HIT A BUMP SMALL OR ANY SIZE ACTUALLY MY ENGINE REDUCES AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER...AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR UP TO 10 MINS SOMETIMES... I CANT DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AT ALL BECAUSE I DONT WANT THE ENGINE TO REDUCE WHILE DOING 60 MPH LATELY IT WILL GO INTO ENGINE POWER REDUCE WHILE IM PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY SO I DONT GET IT

TAKATA RECALL, MY CARS POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN MY CAR OFF THEN ON AND IT WILL WORK AGAIN. IT USUALLY HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A DAY. THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT MOVE UNLESS I USE ALL MY STRENGTH WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT AND SCARY. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON A CITY STREET WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER.

WARNING ON DASHBOARD SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. BRAKE LIGHTS DOES NOT COME ON WHEN THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL COME ON. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE PREVIOUSLY AND ISSUE STILL OCCURRING.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE CHANGED BULBS ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WASNT THE BULBS...THEY STILL WORK. I HAVE CHANGED ONE OF THE PIGTAILS AND IT WORKED FOR A WHILE AND STOPPED WITHIN A MONTH. IT STARTED WITH ONLY THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT AND NOW IT IS BOTH.

TAMARA RECALL MY LOW BEAMS LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT AND ON, IT DOES THIS WHEN PARK, AND DRIVING THEY WORK SOMETIMES ONE OR THE OTHER SOMETIMES THEY WON’T COME ON AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL: I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT'S ATTACHED TO GM RECALL 13036. I JUST TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND THIS RECALL WASN'T ATTACHED TO MY VIN, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR LISTED IN THE 13036 RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ! THE ESC LIGHT FLASHED 'OFF' THEN IT SAYS SERVICE ESC . THE CHECK ENGINES ILLUMINATES AND FLASHES AS WELL AS THE SERVICE TRACTION . I'VE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS , INJECTORS AND WIRING ATTACHED TO THE CYLINDERS, TO FIX THE CODES BEING SHOT OUT (P0302 / P0352) AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES . THE STEERING IS ROUGH AND MAKES NOISE WHILE TURNING , ESPECIALLY WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD . THE SOUND IS REALLY LOUD . MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED A FEW TIMES HAS I CAME TO A STOP AT STOP SIGNS AND INTERSECTIONS . THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP !!

'TAKATA RECALL' AT START UP , A LOUD NOISE COMES FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT . AS YOU DRIVE IT , THERE'S A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT AS YOU TURN. DEFINITELY A STEERING ISSUE. MEANWHILE, THE ESC OFF, SERVICE TRACTION AND THE SERVICE ESC WARNING SIGN ILLUMINATES . THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AS THE CAR MISFIRES FROM CYLINDER 2. I HAVE CHANGED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND THE INJECTOR TO CYLINDER 2 AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENS. THE VEHICLES HAS SHUT OFF ON ME AS I CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION. ALL THESE ISSUES OCCUR AS YOUR DRIVE THE CAR AND GO AWAY SOMETIMES, BUT NEVER FOR GOOD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR NOW
