general problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

"service esc" light illuminates when making sharp turns, slowing down on the interstate, as well as breaking in bad weather. After replacing brakes twice and rotors once I scontinue to experience this problem . After a recent inquiry I learned of a recall on "service esc" as well as "traction control".

On two separated occasions I have had to make a hard stop. After these stops my brakes become very soft and low. I could not drive on freeways or highways because my brakes were too weak and too low to stop the car at those speeds. . After the first occasion in March, the brakes were unable for a week before they reset to normal use. After the second occasion (happened first week in April 2014) the brakes were unable and did not reset to normal until may 5th 2014. The fact that my bakes are defected puts me and my passenger, and other drivers at risk, and not knowing when and where this may happen again makes me very nervous knowing I may be in harms way at any time. If you have any suggestions for resolving this problem, please let me know.

2012 Chevrolet Malibu. Consumer wants to be reimbursement for repairs due to recall for vehicle.

My engine light came on, so I shut the car down and restarted, engine light went off, however when I pulled out of parking space, I noticed a grinding sound coming from the front of my car, then my breaks starting squeaking really bad. Now I constantly hear that sound when starting my car in early mornings, the squeaking is constant. Also my radio and defrost goes in and out, my radio shuts down by itself and then returns on, my back defroster doesn't seem to work, when it rains, my back window is not defrost, so I can't use my back window for viewing when we have heavy rain or extremely cold weather.

When I purchased this vehicle from mac haik Chevrolet in 2012 with 30miles on it. It drove great for the first 3 months. Then when I would revers the car to leave I would here a noise on the right rear of the car. So I took off thinking it was the rain that caused the noise on the brakes. Then sometimes I would hear it when I start slowing down. I took the car to the dealer ship they told me nothing was wrong with the brakes. So I left every morning I would hear the same noise for the next 6 months I took it to a garage where they check the brakes for free. They looked at the right rear brake rotor and they told me it had a groove on the rotor caused by something with the brake system. It could be a bad brake pad. They told me to take it back to the dealership so I did. All they told me was it's not that bad and that there's nothing they can do about it. I had the garage check the rest of the brakes they had no grooves at the time I took it in. It's 07/16/2014 and still have the same problem. I called them to see if there is a recall on my vehicle and they said no. Please help me or let me know what I can do.

Vehicle (2012 Malibu) was purchased April 2012 - starting July 2012 vehicle would stall going down the road, with loss of engine, power assist steering and power assist brakes. Dealer replaced numerous modules, but it occurred again in sept 2012 (3 times) then again in January 2013. Two body control modules have been replaced, engine control modules, two power steering modules, onstar module, transmission control module, etc. Unintended power steering assist occurs such that within approximately 5 seconds while driving down the road, power steering comes in and out as module fails (along with engine and transmission). Very unsafe to drive. Dealer would not replace vehicle and gm states they stand by last repair. It has been repaired 6 times now, but we refuse to drive vehicle, as we believe there must be a short somewhere. They keep stating it is defective modules and they just keep replacing them.
