2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

POWER STEERING KEEPS TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND I GET THIS 'WARNING' COME ON, SERVICE ESC POWER STEERING. REALLY SCARY DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND POWER STEERING SUDDENLY TURNING OFF. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? IS THERE A RECALL?

I'M HAVING PROBLEM WITH BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR - REPLACED TWICE ALREADY - WHILE DRIVING HIT BRAKES ERROR MESSAGE SERVICE ABS SERVICE TRACTION CRUISE CONTROL WANT DISENGAGE ALSO NOTICED THAT I COULD MOVE THE GEAR OUT OF PARK WITH OUT PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL ARE THERE ANY RECALLS FOR THESE ISSUES?

LOW BEAM LIGHTS STOP WORKING QUITE OFTEN. PASSENGER SIDE, FOLLOWED BY DRIVER'S SIDE. REPLACED BULBS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THIS PAST YEAR OR SO, ONLY TO FIND THIS LAST TIME THAT THE BULBS WEREN'T BLOWN, JUST NOT WORKING. CHANGED PIGTAIL ON PASSENGER SIDE, PUT SAME BULB BACK IN, LIGHT WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS, BUT THEN STOPPED WORKING LAST WEEK. LAST NIGHT THE DRIVER'S SIDE STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AS WELL. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE PATTERN. PASSENGER SIDE STOPS, THEN NOT LONG AFTER, DRIVER SIDE STOPS. SEARCHED ONLINE FOR HELP. INSTEAD, I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH SUGGESTIONS TO REPORT IT HERE IN CASE IT IS A WIDER INVOLVED ISSUE. THANK YOU.

TRACKING CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND SLOWS THE CAR, THE THE ENGINE WILL DISABLE . THE CAR WILL DO THIS WHILE IN MOTION. TODAY ON THE FREEWAY ENGINES DISABLED AND ALMOST REAR ENDED. NO MACHANIC KNOW HOW TO FIX IT WITHOUT CHANGING AND REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS AND STILL HAPPENS. WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN MARCH 2018

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

THE PASSENGER DOOR OF MY VEHICLE WILL NOT OPEN. THE AUTOMATIC LOCK APPEARS TO BE WORKING BUT I CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR A FEW TIMES BUT THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO USE THE ACTUAL KEY FROM THE OUTSIDE TO OPEN IT. I HAVE READ REVIEWS WHERE THIS IS COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND I CANNOT EVEN GET THE DOOR FIXED BECAUSE IT WON'T OPEN. PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING THIS A MANUFACFURER RECALL.

DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO LIGHTS BURNING OUT. (LOW/ REGULAR LIGHTS & HIGH BEAMS) UPON INSPECTION, MELTED BULB SOCKETS NOTED. WHEN LIGHTS, BULB SOCKETS REPLACED/ REPAIRED, LIGHTS WORK ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME & THE ISSUE REPEATS ITSELF. THIS IS A HUGE ANNOYANCE AS IT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, FINANCIAL BURDEN, & MOST IMPORTANTLY, COMPROMISES DRIVER & PASSENGER SAFETY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST AND ONCE AGAIN WE ARE FACED WITH THIS ISSUE, TODAY. 5/30/18.

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT BULB SOCKET KEEPS BURNING OUT. REPLACED THE BULB 3 TIMES IN ONE YEAR. THE SOCKET IS THE PROBLEM, KEEPS SHORTING OUT. WHEN I REPLACE THE BULB THE SOCKET WHERE THE BULB PLUGS IN TO IS BURNT AND MELTED.

I HAVE REPLACED MY HEADLIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES THIS YEAR ALREADY AND NOTICED AND FEW TIMES A HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OUT THEN COME ON OCCASIONALLY THEN IT JUST GOES OUT PERMANENTLY UNTIL A REPAIR IS MADE
