When I get in my car I notice that my check engine light comes on in an are where certain people don't like me at like cuba mo there is a conspiracy going on out here ever sense they took my kids illegally it's been nothing but problems and I don't want to get hurt or hurt nobody please help my gas leaves quick also I know my car is being hacked because they do that alot out there and surrounding cities the engine light will come on while I'm driving and when I'm out the car it'll come on there is also a tracking device on it that I didn't put on there also I put gas in my car then all of a sudden it goes down to low fuel I just bought the car from the dealership at jd by rider in rolla mo.

I was driving to town and everything stop working. It scard the crap out of me. I took it to smith chevy in turlock CA they said they didnt know what was wrong with it and charaged me 489. 00. Lucky it didnt kill me. Gm motors need to do a recall on it before someone gets hurt or lose there life.

Esc warning on dash coming on will driving and turning forward or backward. Hvac controller not responding to commands, hvac resistor and blower motor wires getting very hot and not blowing fuses when driving with ac or heater running. Hvac resistor blowing out. High motor oil consumption , every 1000 miles its low a quart.

At random I will be driving down any road and the power steering, traction control, ecs lights will come on and I will lose power steering. I have to pull over and completely stop and turn off ignition and wait a few minutes and turn back on and the problem is reset. This happens at random with no pattern.

"power steering" message comes on randomly and the power steering goes dead while I'm driving. This seems to be a known issue with this Malibu and should be a recall. There are many complaints online about this issue. This has occurred multiple times. This is dangerous and should be a recall purchased vehicle in 2013 since than has happen close to 10 times.

For a long time now, a year, I've been getting the esc warning every time I turn the steering wheel. It just a nuisance alarm. It shuts off the esc. Now however everytime I start the car lately and I'm getting the power steering warning, I move the wheel a little and it goes away. I'm afraid it's going to get worse and I'll start losing my power steering. Gm won't do anything about it because they say the VIN number isn't part of the recall. I have a 2012 with the 2. 4l. It has 73,000 miles on it. The recall if that's what it is (# 15356: special coverage adjustment - loss of electric power steering assist - (Aug 28, 2015).

Esc light comes on either right as I start the car or once I start driving and I lose power steering having to stop several times to restart my car. I fear driving my kids in my car because if this ongoing issue.

For about the last two weeks when I turn my car on a esc power steering message has illuminated the dash. I have to turn my car off and back on several times to get the message to disappear. Tonight while driving the same message came on. I ended up having to pull over several times during my drive each time losing power steering! very scary and very unsafe. When I search my VIN number there are no recalls on it, I feel there needs to be before someone is hurt or killed in a accident.

My esc comes on with traction emblem and power steering light. I then lose all power steering while in motion.

Headlamps keep going out within months after service, lightbulb seems to have blown but then comes back on later. Harness replacement 2 times in 2 years, plastic connectors keep melting or heating. Bulb blown also one hour after leaving dealership servicing. Multiple dates of incident with most recent 1/29/2020.

Driving my vehicle with my 3 month old daughter in the car. Turned the wheel as I was taking a turn and the power steering completely stopped. This forced me to apply the brake because I almost wemt off the road!! I see this isn't the only incident involving the esc and power steering!! vehicle currently has "service esc" and "power steering" messages displayed in the info messages.

I bought a 2012 Malibu for my daughter who is 15 years old. Nice car, but when she was pulling into a parking lot, "service etc" illuminated on the dash and she completely lost power steering. Hit a curb.

Car would shimmy and shake. New tires new breaks etc. Made appoint. To fix recalls when power ster. Went out. Put new ps on and it didn't fix problem. Went back and forth to dealer. Had car diagnosed and service manager said there was a recall for so called gm, rep said they would fix and reinburse for the work already performed, gave a case number. Car sat a dealers weekend. Today gm rep said they would only pay 5% and denied other rep had said they'd fix. No power steering on car and it's dangerous to drive due to manufacturing defect and I'm expected to cover costs when I've already spent nearly 1000 on it and it's still not fixed. Please help.

2 weeks ago my car was idling and started shaking and esc notification came up and car cut off. Would not crank up until later. Today was driving in cvs parking lot and car accelerated on its own and I stepped on the break and then it started shaking and dinging and esc lights came on again. Car kind of sounded like a lawn mower when it was shaking and jerking. Car would not crank again for a while.

This has happened multiple times while driving down the interstate. The cruise control is being used and when you go to apply the brakes the car does not slow down but revs the motor up and will not let you slow down. It is frightening to have this happen. If you tap the brakes but doesn't always work or hit the cruise off button it will finally stop. This could be putting us in a really bad situation if you cant get it stopped. Also the esc light comes on for no reason while driving on dry roads. I called my chevy dealer and was told the recall 13036 was already done in Aug 2014 if this is the same issue as recall. If so it did not take care of the problem and needs to be taken care of before it costs someone their life.

My car will randomly not start. I have bought a brand new battery. That wasn't the problem. A week later, my gear shift wouldn't move. I had to stay in my vehicle and miss an appointment because of this. I couldn't get it to move from drive to park. After several tries and 30 minutes, it finally moved. It's gotten stuck a few times trying to move it from park to drive as well. And when I'm driving, the emergency lights will randomly illuminate and wipers won't work. I was driving when it was pouring rain and the wipers wouldn't turn on with all emergency lights illuminated as well. This can happen anytime I'm on a city street going from 25 to 45 mph. I have had to have it towed several times to different shops and they can't tell me what's wrong.

Takata recall when my vehicle started having issues it started with lagging to start I would turn the key and literally let go and then it would start. Now it's to the point where it doesn't always want to start . When it does my sensors are all messed up . First time my airbag warning was coming up . Next my sensors on my tires were not working then I started to notice when I was driving and I would stop pushing the gas the gauge will go up and down. The last thing that happened was the check engine came on but turned off. I tried to get a diagnostics done but of course nothing came of it . So now my car is just sitting in my garage until I figure it out. But there are no type of check engine light or anything that comes on before the car starts not functioning properly.

Electrical part shuts down the car can't go sometimes you can change fuse will go and here we go again have it in and out of shop to be work on no body can't figure it out . And even shuts down when driving down road in traffic very dangerous on highway. Had in different shops for help. Getting very sick of it read other have same problem with the same type car. Why isn't something being done about it ready to start buying Honda cars. This has been going on all summer still November. So tired of it and wasting money on it. This has happen more than one time.

Head lights keep going out.

I started driving the car within five minutes after I press on the brakes the car started jolting and after that it start stalling try to use the cruise control on a highway maximum mileage per hour was 55 will not engage turn around park the car kept them stalling in between once the car parked lights on the dash popped up check engine light and esc light popped up the car was not moving and motor started shaking try to put the foot on the gas gently and it started stalling again. Car been parked ever since.

My fuse box in my trunk came back fail bad one so changed it out with another one well that worked for 1 month my car stalls or dont start unless I hit the fuse box got another fuse box that did the same exact things now some times when I hit the fuse box my car will start then again won't somethings making the fuse box to go bad I believe it's something to do the wiring or fuel pump relay fuse. I've had my car stsll on the high way to many times this need to be recalled its a hazard problem not safe.

Will be driving and after applying the brake the service esc will come on and then my car does not want to stop.

Takata recall it constantly shakes and my car is constantly pulling and random codes pop up all the time . Not to mention it's a 2012 and it's rusting majorly. I am driving when my car seems to be missing a beat it wants to jerk on me like it wants to stop running. I was on a city street it happens a lot .

At 1st my car wouldn't crank every so often then started going drag while driving I googled it and had to beat on fusebox in trunk or wiggle wires so had to run wire straight to battery to fuel pump. My headlights on dim keep shooting and my speakers will go out sometimes.

Started out when I'm just driving down the road my steering wheel twitches. Now has gone to esc power steering warning indicated and the steering wheel completely locks up. Most of the time just when I start the car however has done it when I'm driving down the road. Thankfully it was a secluded road and I didn't hit anyone. This is super dangerous and according to my search of the internet I'm not alone.

One day, driving on a freeway my car all of a sudden accelerated out of nowhere, then on the dash showed �service esc� then immediately after �reduced engine power� and shut off. It would not turn back on and I was on the middle of the freeway. I had to have it towed to a nearby shop while I waited for hours to get the throttle body replaced- total of $560 and my car worked for the next two days then did the same thing, this time I was on a side street so it was mostly just annoying. This has happened more times than I can count since I've had this car (for 6 months) and chevy dealerships won't do anything without charging me a ton of money and I've read hundreds of other complaints about the same exact issue I'm having online, in their testimonies, they've gotten multiple things �fixed� because of the code that shows up, but then days later it's the same for every single one, it reverts back to the original problem. This is unacceptable of Chevrolet, and I'm very upset that I personally have put so much money, not to mention everyone else that has, into a seemingly unsolvable problem, caused by a mistake on Chevrolet's part. Please do something, thank you.

The lights randomly come on then the antilock brake system will start to act up when I go to stop as if I was to slide on ice but I'm not I'm on dry pavement. On city street.

Warning on dashboard service traction control when applying the brakes. Brake lights does not come on when the service traction control come on. There has been a recall on this issue previously and issue still occurring.

Takata recall: I'm having the same issue that's attached to gm recall 13036. I just took it to the chevy dealer and this recall wasn't attached to my VIN, even though my car was manufactured in the same year listed in the 13036 recall. My vehicle is dangerous to drive ! the esc light flashed �off� then it says service esc . The check engines illuminates and flashes as well as the service traction . I've replaced spark plugs , injectors and wiring attached to the cylinders, to fix the codes being shot out (p0302 / p0352) and the problem continues . The steering is rough and makes noise while turning , especially when vehicle is cold . The sound is really loud . My vehicle has stalled a few times has I came to a stop at stop signs and intersections . This needs to be fixed ASAP !!.

Loss of steering. Traction control light comes on.

Esc & traction control warning light comes on when the vehicle comes to a stop,but goes away after 15 mph also rough idling . Anti lock brakes disengage not working at all. Engine disabled warning light car won't start. After a short while it will start.

The steering wheel tends to shake and turn left or right while you're driving almost caused a wreck idling it shakes really bad.
