Brake Light On Problems of Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

Takata recall, as I was dropping my daughter off at the bus stop I tried to pull back up to my house and the power steering came on and the wheel was hard to turn while my vehicle was in motion and there was alot of cars coming my way as I was trying to turn. I told my husband about it he went to check that it had power steering fluid in it and it was not low at all then he got in it to drive and it worked just fine. That was a scary experience for me. Another incident when I went to go get my car inspected the third brake light would not come on but when I went to my mother in laws it worked just fine and when I left to go home lastnight it was coming on when I wasn't even pushing the brakes so me and my husband figured it was a shortage in it or the wires need replaced. Someone needs to do something about this before there be an accident. I was doing some research about my vehicle and I seen that it had serveral recalls. The manufacturer recall #: n130036 the NHTSA recall #: 14v252.

Passenger side lower beam light continues to blowout (have replaced three times in as many months) also turn signal will not always click off after turning. As far as repairs on traction,esc brake lights and downshifting, I removed the bcm connector, cleaned it and used dielectric grease on it and as of now seems to have resolved the problem, however, the headlight problem is ongoing as well as the turn indicator, if you will go online, (google) lower beam headlight problem on chevy Malibu's as well as as the other electrical problems, you will find numberous complaints, but no recalls.

While driving my esc - enhances stability control light, abs and traction control lights came on.

After driving about 5mikes my husband who was driving behind me signaled to pull over. My brake lights were on and when I engaged the brake pedal to come to a stop the brake lights went off. After I released the brakes, and got out of the car with it still running my brake lights came back on.

I bought my Malibu in 2014. From ron marhofer Chevrolet. Not knowing there were recalls on my car when I bought it. In 2016, with 75k miles I was having troubles, brake lights were coming on when I accelerated the gas. Got the recall fixed. Now, at 102k miles and 2 years later, the brake lights are coming back on. My dealership told me since my warranty was up, I would have to pay a $99 diagnostic on top of labor. I wrote Chevrolet last week and they denied this has anything to do with the recall because no one else has been complaining. . It's frustrating and such a scandal. I have an appt with my dealership next week to take a look. I feel this is going to be a costly matter, for something gm is trying go cover up. Shame on you gm!.

I became aware that the problem arose again when other drivers sped around me flicking me off. One incident almost resulted in being clipped as the other driver was so close to my vehicle as he raced past to cut in front of me. Please fix this issue. It's a very dangerous situation as braking is a key component to driver safety!.

The brake light comes on when the brakes are not being depressed and goes off when it is being depressed. This disengages the cruise control and also the service esc light comes on when it happens.

I recently paid my vehicle off and I am experiencing several electrical issues. The emergency brake went out and "service emergency brake light is on". There's no connection. When I hit a pothole in the road while driving, my radio screen blacks out. Then I can hit another bump and it comes back on. When I park, my ignition does not release my key. I have to turn the steering wheel several times and put it in drive then back in park several times to get the key to release. After doing this several times my key broke off in the ignition and I was stranded and had to walk home over two miles. Has anyone else complained of these issues with the 2013 Malibu? I couldn't pass my recent safety inspection due to the brake issue and I was inconvenienced again as a result of these issues.

Takata recall. Brake apply sensor fluctuates on and off also turning signal is not working on the left or right even though the bugs been changed and inside the vehicle it shows a turning signal, no rear brake lights when driving or at a complete stop. Even though fuses and new bulbs replaced, electrical shortage with radio and cigarette lighter, also replace bulbs and headlights and they continue to shorten out and blow.

The brake pedal is sticking and will not fully release. The vehicle will not accelerate when this happens and the brake lights will stay on after the car is turned off. I only have 35600 miles on the vehicle. The dealer can't find the issue but suggests the brake pedal assembly be replaced but will not guarantee it will fix the issue.

My power steering wheel has been replaced once then not less than a year my power steering wheel goes out again. My brake lights are also on and never turn off. It's scary because no one knows when I'm actually braking.

Brake lights randomly illuminate! while driving down the interstate the brake lights are illuminating. This has been an issue for a while now.

My brake lights are illuminated when I do not push on the brake when I do push on the brake they disappear I can't put my cruise control on when this happens this happens while I'm driving it started happening about a month ago at a hundred and ninety-eight thousand miles but it would go away I was able to turn the car off and back on and it would be fine now it is like that at all times.

"takata recall" my seat-belt light stays on when I have my seat-belt on, my esc light keeps blinking as well as my traction control light. My brake lights stay on while I am driving and go off when I brake.

Brake lights illuminate when brake pedal is applied. Will go off when foot is taken off of pedal, but will go back on and stay on when pedal is not applied. This happens both when in neutral and in park and the car is stationary. I believe the problem is where increased resistance in the body control module (bcm) connection system can result in voltage fluctuations or intermittency in the brake apply sensor (bas) circuit that can cause brake lamp malfunction. The brake lamps illuminate without the brake pedal applied. Recall on this problem dated March 2017, # 13036. This recall problem and number does not show up in the NHTSA database.

The brake lights illuminate without pressing on the brakes. I remember there being a recall before and I took my car in and it got fixed however it is doing it again. And my air bag light goes on and off all the time.

I have been noticing and been told my brake lights were on while driving down road and at times my cruise control would not function and it happens during day when I can't tell and at night which obviously is more apparent but not any less dangerous . . . Putting two together my brake lights would be coming on and when I press the pedal to slow down they go off. . . I bought this car used and after googling to find a fix I see there are many recalls and complaints regarding this issue with this year make and model. . . As it does not list my VIN to be involved with any recalls it's concerning that the safety of my kids and I could be at risk. I cannot find any positive fix to the problem yet and see many people spent hundreds to thousands at dealerships only to find the problem not fixed. . . If there's any assistance information or go to's you can provide I would be greatly appreciated.

I've had electrical problems with my car since I bought it. The dealer has never been able to fix it because my car never showed any "codes". My car has acceleration problems, the right head light socket harness keeps burning out and I'm also starting to have problems with my brake lights. My brake lights don't go on when I press on my brake and when I do they sometimes stay on after I take my foot off the brake. The acceleration problem happens on a full stop and on the highway. I usually give my self extra space to accelerate because my car fails at times. In the highway my car sometimes struggles to catch up to speed with the other cars. This problem has almost cause and accident several times.

A police officer pulled beside me and said my brake lights were not working at all. Brake lights will come on and stay on or will not come on at all. Took this vechicle to a mechanic and it has to do with the connection with the bcm. Thought this was recalled but there is no recalls on my vechicle. I asked some other owners of the same model and they are having the same issues. This is a huge safety hazard.
