Service esc, service traction control, service air bags, brake lights on when pedal not pressed and not on when pedal is pressed and cruise control doesn't work periodically. These message appear off and on while driving. I have had the sensor under the brake pedal replaced twice now. Last time 14 months ago so no longer under warranty and needs replaced again.
The power steering sensor will suddenly go off and my wheel locks, I cannot turn my wheels, I feel really unsafe I almost crashed with myself and kids.
The seat belt keeps dinging like the seatbelt is not connected to the seatbelt latch and it is. The engine light comes on and off. I have taken it to the dealership the light goes off so they can never figure out what's wrong with it. Except once which it came back to it being the solenoid sensor. They fixed it. But, engine light still comes on. The seatbelt dings doing the whole ride or if your siting still. The engine light comes on off and on. Just bought the car 9/23/2017.
The airbag sensor goes off due to heat rising. Especially in the summer when car temperature rises. This past summer I've had the sensor go off more than 3 times a month due to the excessive heat, I'm currently unsure if it'll even deploy correctly if I'm in an accident. I usually have to remove the airbag and then check for any damage to it and then re-insert it. Airbag is still the original part, never been deployed before. I know a lot of other owners have had the same issue and have posted on chevymalibuforum. Com.
"service air bag" light came on. Apparently not covered under my extended warranty. Was in an accident in April that afflicted the driver side but the air bag sensor under the passenger seat was the one throwing the code. I've had them both replaced. I was told by the dealership that were recalls on this part in other cars.
