I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE ESC LIGHT COMING ON SINCE BUYING THE CAR BRAND NEW AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP NOTHING WAS WRONG. NOW THE ESC LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION LIGHT. I WAS TOLD I NEED A THROTTLE BODY THIS CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND IS NOT PAID OFF TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH MALIBUS IN THE 2000'S THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR STALLS AND WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE TRACTION LIGHT COME ON AS WELL AT THE SAME TIME THESE LIGHTS COME ON. THIS IS DURING BRAKING, OR SITTING AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, OR AS I AM APPLYING THE BRAKE TO STOP BEHIND OTHER DRIVERS IT WILL CONTINUOUSLY JERK AND ALMOST TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN.
