TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF. AN HOUR LATER THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART, BUT SHUT OFF AGAIN AFTER APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH WAVE PLATES (3RD, 5TH, AND 10TH) FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,006.

I WAS DRIVING AND THEN CAME TO A STOP TO PULL ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WHEN I TURNED ON THE HIGH WAY MY MALIBU WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, AS A SEMI PULLED UP BEHIND ME I HAD TO PUT IT ALMOST IN A DITCH SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT. MY MECHANIC SAYS ITS THE 3,5,R WAVE PLATE AND THAT HE LOOKED AT ALL THE MALIBU FORUMS ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. NEVER BUYING A CHEVY AGAIN. *TR

THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,575.

CAR DOOR WILL GO OUT. CAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AND WILL BE STUCK CLOSED. CAR WAS STATIONARY. HAD TO GO OUT THROUGH THE WINDOWS. COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU WERE IN AN EMERGENCY AND COULDN'T EXIT VEICHLE BECAUSE THE DOORS WOULDN'T OPEN.

TRAFFICATOR CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION, OCASSIONAL BRAKE FAILURES AND OTHER DIGITAL LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED AND STOPPED TO FUNCTION ANY COMPLETELY. I WAS ALMOST IN A DEADLY CRASH AGAIN. STERRING WHEEL. NOT ONCE THESE INCIDENCE HAPPENED ALL HAPPENED ON MOTION.

ON DEC 9 2016 I WAS DRIVING ON HWY 169 IN MN AND MY 2010 MALIBU DISPLAYED SERVICE ESC THAN FLASHED POWER STEERING THEN ESC OFF THEN I LOST POWER STEERING AND IT HAS NOT REGAINED EVEN AFTER ALL THE RESTARTS BEEN COUPLE WEEKS NOW STILL THERE SEARCHED THE INTERNET SEEMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE CAR HAS 180,000 MILES BUT SERVICED REGULARLY SO YES I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. STEERING IS PRETTY IMPORTANT WHEN DRIVING . ANY INFO PERTAINING TO THE MALIBU STEERING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS WAS AS I WAS TURNING, SO IT CAUSED QUITE A BIT OF PANIC. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A ONE-TIME ISSUE, HOWEVER 2 MONTHS LATER, I AM DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND TAKING A TURN WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN THIS ISSUE CAUSED ME TO BE IN A UNSAFE SITUATION, LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS. I AM A FEMALE THEREFORE CANNOT GENERATE THE EFFORT NEEDED TO TURN THE WHEEL WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THE 2009 MODEL YEAR HAS A TSB ON IT, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WHICH HAS EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS DOES NOT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING 60MPH. THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 5MPH AND STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING, AND I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL TO THE SHOULDER LANE, "REDUCED ENGINE SPEED" APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD, ALONG WITH "ESC TRACTION CONTROL". RESTARTED MY CAR AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. ABOUT 15 MINS LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE AROUND ME.

2010 MALIBU WITH 108,XXX MILES, HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT VARIOUS TIMES, BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES. NO HELP FROM DEALER EXCEPT OFFER TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN.
