CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON, CANT CLEAR. SCREEN ON RADIO IS COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT AND WONT TURN ON. TRUNK RANDOMLY POPS OPEN BY ITSELF. HARD DOWN SHIFT. BATTERY SEEMS WEAKENING WHEN CRANKING CAR UP

OVER THE LAST 3 WEEKS, WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS GONE INTO THE AUTO SHUT-OFF MODE, IT DOESN'T ALWAYS START BACK UP WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

THE DASHBOARD COMPLETELY WENT OUT NO GAUGES WORK, NO FUSES ARE BLOWN AND DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHY

2013 MALIBU LS SAME PROBLEM AS ECO HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR AWHILE NOW VOLTAGE DROPS ENGING STALLS POWER STERING BRAKES EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF ALSO DOES THIS WHEN YOU TURN TURN SIGNALS ON RADIO EVERY THING SHUTS OFF THIS IS A FACTORY PROBLEM THAT NEED TO BE FIXED THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR KILLED NO CONTROL WHEN EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF DOES THIS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING FLICKERED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ED RINKE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (26125 VAN DYKE, CENTER LINE, MI 48015, (866) 461-1170) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4683000874. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,494.

EASSIST RECALL FOR MALIBU ECO. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALL, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THE VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL MATCH. ALL OF MY MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO FROM THIS COMPANY TO LOOK INTO MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START, I HAVE BROUGHT 4 NEW BATTERIES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON. IT HAS BEEN ON FOR A YEAR NOW. THERE IS A BURNING SMELL WHEN I DRIVE IT SOMETIMES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED SEVERAL TIMES BY A DEALERSHIP AND NOW BY AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED ME ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD IF THIS DOESN'T GET FIT SOON MY VEHICLE COULD CATCH FIRE. I WOULD LIKE HELP IN RESOLVING THIS SITUATION.

I WOULD BE DRIVING THE CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD COME ON AND THEN GO OFF. THE STEERING WOULD PULL TO THE LEFT. A COUPLE OF TIMES ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD CUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE ROAD.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD ENGINE STALLS FOR 30 TO 40 SECONDS EVERYTHYING SHUTS DOWN LOW VOLTAGE WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON

ON 4/16/2018 AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 2 HOURS I WENT TO PUT MY 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE I NOTICED PRESSURE FROM THE BRAKE THREAT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO FULLY PRESS DOWN. THERE WAS ALSO A LOUD HISSING NOISE COMING FROM THE PEDAL. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE MY POWER BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. I WAS ADVISED THAT IS WAS ABNORMAL FOR A NEW CAR TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM. THE REPAIR WAS $529. NOW ON 9/24/2018 WHILE AT A RED LIGHT MY DASH WENT HAYWIRE AND ALL ALERTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE DISPLAY READ 'SERVICE POWER STEERING' I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR TURN OFF THE IGNITION BUT ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF. AFTER 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK ON AND IN GEAR. AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN I NOTICED I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. THE BRAKE WAS HARD TO PRESS AND THERE AGAIN WAS A LOUD HISSING NOISE. AFTER TAKING MY CAR ONCE AGAIN TO THE SHOP I WAS ADVISED I NEEDED ANOTHER POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PART BACK IN 2013 BUT IT WAS NEVER REPLACED IN MY CAR. THE DEALER HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE IT AT THIS TIME AND I AM HOPING FOR A RESOLUTION. THE CAR BECOMES INOPERABLE WITHOUT NOTICE AND IT IS JEOPARDIZING THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE SERVICE STABILI TRACK AND REDUCE POWER MESSAGES CAME ON AND SLOWED DOWN TO 30MPH. THANK GOD I GOT TO PULL OVER SAFELY.MY SON AND I HAD TO BE TOWED HOME
