2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

WHEN DRIVING YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND CANT TURN THE WHEEL THEY HAVE THIS RECAL ON SOME OF THE MALIBU CARS

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ISSUE . HEADLIGHT LOWBEAM SPECIFICALLY ON PASSENGER SIDE KEEP GOING OUT . AFTER RESEARCH AND TESTING TO FIND OUT IT'S NOT THE ACTUAL BULB THAT'S THE ISSUE. IT'S THAT HEADLIGHT WIRING ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT MALIBU'S . CHANGED BULB 3 TIMES IN 6 MONTH WINDOW .

THE CAR LOSES SPEED WHILE DRIVING THEN REDUCE POWER SHOWS ON DASHBOARD. WHEN STOP ENGINE SHAKING AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT START.. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM I ALREADY SPEND OVER 4000 AND STILL HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED NUCAR CHEVROLET (174 N. DUPONT HIGHWAY, NEW CASTLE, DE 19720, (302) 327-1171) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 204,000.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE TRACTION SERVICE ESC & ESC OFF LIGHTS COME OFF/ON SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE WILL DRIVE ROUGH AT TIMES, ALSO THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL FAIL TO WORK. GOT A RECALL ON THIS IN 2017 TOOK IT INTO A DEALER SHOP WHO APPLIED GEL TO CONNECTORS SAID THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM, IT CERTAINLY DID NOT.I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS SAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE SINCE IT IS THE ONLY ONE I OWN I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. SINCE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW I CAN NOT GIVE AN EXACT DATE BUT IT DOES HAPPEN DAILY..I NEED THE REPAIRS MADE BY GM NOT ME

THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT AND NOT I THINK IT IS AFFECTING MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR LIGHTS. I ALREADY HAD IT FIXED AND PAID A TRAFFIC TICKET TOTALING $700.00 ON IT. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE BULB. I FOUND OUT IT WAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE PIGTAIL. I REPLACED IT AND NOW AFTER 4 MONTHS THEY ARE OUT AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE IN MULTIPLE BLOGS.

THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM LIGHT BURNS OUT FREQUENTLY. UPON FIXING THE CONNECTION WAS MELTED. THE STEERING BECOMES HARD TO TURN WHILE DRIVING SLOW OR SLOWING DOWN TO TURN.

I PUT THE SHIFT LEVEL IN PARK BUT IT DOES NOT PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. THE CALL ROLLS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS THE EXACT SYMPTOM SHOWN IN CHEVROLET RECALL NUMBER 09V073000. CHEVROLET WILL NOT HONOR IT.

OK SO THIS HAS HAPPNED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS I WILL BE DRIVING SPEED DOSENT MATTER AS ITS HAPPNED AT LOW SPEEDS OF 25 ASWELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH INDICATES AND SAYS TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE THEN SERVICE ESC THEN MY POWER STEERING CUTS OUT. WHEN I PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON EVERTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL AS IT NEVER HAPPNED. PLEASE REVIEW THIS BECAUSE IVE HERD OTHER PEOPLE SAYING THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IF THIS ISSUE DECIDES TO ACT UP WHEN I NAVIGATE A TURN
