2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

HEADLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, I'VE REPLACED BOTH BULBS AROUND 4 TIMES IN A YEAR. THE DRIVER SIDE GOES OUT I CHANGE IT THEN THE PASSENGER WOULD GO OUT THEN CHANGE IT THEN BOOM THERE GOES THE DRIVER SIDE AGAIN AFTER THE LAST TIME CHANGING IT I NOTICED THE BULBS AREN'T BLOWING OUT. EVERYONE THAT HAS THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I BELIEVE IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE WIRING HARNESSES. RUNNING TO THE CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE THIS ISSUE DIAGNOSED AND THEN THE INSANE BILL AFTERWARDS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT I'M PRETTY SURE GM WAS AND IS ALREADY AWARE IS NOT ONLY RIDICULOUS BUT A DISRESPECTFUL SLAP IN THE FACE TO THEIR FAITHFUL CONSUMERS.

THIS WILL BE MY 5TH ATTEMPT WITH CHANGING THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW-BEAN. I RECENTLY TOOK AGAIN TO MY MECHANIC ON JANUARY 7, 2019 TO REPLACE THE BULB AND EXACTLY JANUARY 24 IT WENT BACK OUT AGAIN. THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE REPORTED AND TO BE RECALL. THIS ISSUE WILL KEEP HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AND ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE BULB IS THE PROBLEM. I GOT PULLED OVER AND WAS ISSUED A REPAIR ORDER BY THE POLICE ON ANOTHER BULB ISSUE AND THEN ANOTHER A TICKET EVEN WHEN I HAD SHOWED POLICE I HAD BROUGHT A BLUB TO REPLACED IT. THIS IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING PLUS TO REMOVED THE FRONT BUMPER TO REPLACE THE BULB CREATES AN EXTRA CHARGES.

WAS DRIVING DOWN A CROOKED ROAD WHEN STEERING FELT LIKE IT LOCKED UP. BARELY MADE IT TO SIDE OF ROAD WITHOUT CRASHING. FLASHED ECS AND POWERSTEERING ON DASH. AFTER I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IT QUIT BUT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER BUT THE 2ND TIME IT DIDN'T QUIT AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, BUT THE NEXT DAY IT WAA DRIVING FINE AGAIN.

NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE TO FILE COMPLAINTS ABOUT MANUFACTURING ISSUES TO START A RECALL. MY MALIBU DIDN'T START ONE AFTER WORK TOWED IT TO MECHANIC. HE SAID IT DIDN'T HAVE OIL PRESSURE. HE OPENED UP THE ENGINE AND FOUND PIECES OF O RINGS/RTV SEALANT BLOCKING FLOW AND BUSTED RODS, LIFTERS, AND LOOSE BEARINGS OBVIOUSLY. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ONE OPEN THAT ENGINE. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CAR ONLY HAS 90,000 MILES. A/C COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AT 40,000 MILES, REAR DEFROST OUT REAR FUSE BOX CORRODED AND BURNED WIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED, WHEEL BEARINGS OUT IN THE FRONT AT 50,000 MILES. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN WITH A NEWER CAR. DEALER NO HELP OUT OF WARRANTY.

CONSTANTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTICAL SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE, AND FROM FURTHER STUDIES AND INVESTICATION VIA INTERNET COMPLAINTS AND YOUTUBE CUSTOMERS/OWNERS...THIS IS A CONTINUAL ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A SUBSTAINTIAL AMOUNT OF CHEVY MALIBU OWNERS FROM THE YEAR OF 2009 TO 2013/2014 MODELS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ASAP ON THESE MAKE AND MODELS. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE HEADLIGHTS CONSTANLY SHORT OUT AND BLOW OUT. MECHANICS AND SERVICE HAS FOUND THAT THE ELECTTICAL CONNECTORS FOR HLLIGHTBULB OVERHEATS, MELTS THE WIRING, AND BURNS OUT BULB> THIS IS VERY DANGEROUSE AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES ON MY VEHICLE ALONE. ALSO CONSTAT PROBLEMS WITH REAR RIGHT WHEEL CONVERTOR SPEED AND TIRE SENSORS, AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OVER ALL. THE WIRING IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE CONSTANTLY HAVE BLOW OUT FUSES, THE EMERGENCY LIGHT INDICATORS ALWAYS COMING ON, AND THE SENSORS ON AND OFF. THIS IS A WELL NOTED AND DOCUMENTED OCCURANS WITH THESE VEHICLES. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED DUE TO DANGER WITH POSSIBLE FIRE AND CAR STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND HEATING/COOLING AC WIRES SHORTING OUT. IN ALL OVERVIEW THIS HAS CAUSED ME SEVERE FINACIL PROBLEMS DUE TO CONSTANT REPAIRS AND PART REPLACEMENT. IT IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAYS AND ROADS. I NEED THIS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE SOME OF THE MELTED FIRE SPARKED PARTS.PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. MANY DAYS I DONT HAVE NEEDED TRANSPORTATION DUE TO THESE ISSUES AND I GET REPAIRS ALL OF THE TIME WHILE STILL PAYING A CAR NOTE. I AM SCARED TO KEEP DRIVING THIUS CAR.

"TAKATA RECALL " IM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 MALIBU WHEN IM DRIVING DOWN THE STREET MY VEHICLES STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND " SERVICE ESC " POPS UP MAKING IT HARD TO TURN SO I HAVE TO STOP IN THE THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TO RESTART MY CAR IT HAPPENED A MONTH AND A HALF AGO AND JUST RECENTLY STARTED AGAIN IT STOPPED FOR A DAY AND NOW ITS BACK EVEN WORSE. TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THE THINK ITS MY TORQUE SENSOR AND INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAMSHAFT

I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT STEERING WHEEL STIFFING UP AND I ALMOST WENT IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME./ SECOND TIME I JUST MADE IT TO WORK TR=URN THE STEERING WHEEL TO PARK AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN./REAR DEFROST DON'T WORK CHANGED FUSE AND STILL WONT WORK

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE DASH WILL DISPLAY " ESC POWER STEERING" AND THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR WILL TURN THE POWER STEERING BACK ON. FOR HOW LONG? MAYBE 1 MILE OR 100 MILES. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THE POWER STEERING IS GOING TO FAIL. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, TURNING AND SITTING STILL.

TAKATA RECALL UNSAFE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH UNPREDICTABLE HEADLIGHT FUNTIONALITY AND UNKNOWN OTHER RESULTS MAY LEAD TO MORE EXTENSIVE DAFETY ISSUES, I.E FIRE CONCERNS.

THE STEERING WHEEL TENDS TO SHAKE AND TURN LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK IDLING IT SHAKES REALLY BAD
