Front low beam lights keep going out replaced low beam bulbs 3 times in 6 months and replaced harnesses once and low beam headlights continues to go out. Brake lights stay on when car is started and continues to stay on while driving. 3rd brake light doesn't work all the time. It lights up bright sometime, dim sometime, and other times it don't work at all.

The brake lights are engaged while driving the car and disengage when braking causing a serious safety hazard for not only he driver but others following behind. Because the brake lights are on while driving following cars crash detection systems engage. This has been going on for quite awhile. It was "fixed" by a Chevrolet dealership once already but it is back. Huge concern for my 17 year old driving the car.

While driving my esc - enhances stability control light, abs and traction control lights came on. When I stopped at a light and then tried to drive forward I was able to move my vehicle until the brakes kicked in and started slowing me down. 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.

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the electronic stability control, electric power steering, and traction control warning indicators illuminated intermittently. The contact felt a strong vibration coming from the steering wheel and the steering wheel frequently seized. The contact had to turn the vehicle off and back on to reset the computer. In addition, the rear brake lights failed to illuminate when the brakes were applied. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 14e044000 (steering) and 14v153000 (steering). The contact felt that the vehicle exhibited the same failure as listed in the recall campaigns. Ocean city Chevrolet (2366 ocean hwy w, shallotte, nc 28459, (910) 364-9917) was notified of the failures, but did not diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who was to provide further technical information concerning the diagnostic trouble codes and recommendations. The independent mechanic indicated that the failures needed to be addressed by the manufacturer to receive repairs from an authorized dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures to determine their guidelines to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was not available.

Brake lights stay on all of the time except when foot is resting on the brake pedal. Have tried to change out the brake sensor and that doesn't seem to resolve the problem. Brake lights are one both in motion or when car is just sitting.

2006 Chevrolet Malibu: power steering locks up! locks up to the point it take two people to turn the wheel, this happens while driving! headlights and brake lights go out and when bulb is replaced they burn instantly. T/c never turns off! recent complaints from people in other states have been made there are also evident recalls but Chevrolet fails to honor the recall and refuse to fix because the cars are 2006 and the uear now is 2018. This is not fair! what are we supposed to do? this is a saftey issue! it is morally unethical and illegal for Chevrolet not to acknowledge and honor this recall regardless if the car we have is used. If the recall was made and was not fixed they must acknowledge that the repair was not made and fix the problem for the car owner! I am sure Chevrolet has a database and is aware at what and how many vehicles have been repaired due to this recall. What are they waiting for a lawsuit? I demand that this recall be honored and this problem fixed ASAP. If I or my family are harmed due to this I will sue so help me god! I am sure there are many people out there who agree that what Chevrolet is doing is wrong! the issue happened several time this year and happened again today!.

Referred to you by gm after dealer refused to consider this a free repair, as my vehicle is not covered by recall #13036d. Vehicle is exhibiting same conditions as per your recall, brake light remains illuminated . Panic-brake assist malfunctioned 2 weeks ago; almost resulting in a rear end collision. This occurred on a 4 lane highway, and vehicle began to skid. At that point I released the brake, and was forced to pump them in order to slow vehicle. Park-brake feature also malfunctions randomly. These are all due to voltage fluctuations in body control module connection, requiring a spacer to be installed.

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 power steering goes out completely at random times while driving. I called Chevrolet about the recall on it and was told that they closed the recall and are no longer fixing the issue. The brake lights also stop working randomly. The rear blinkers have stopped working completely.

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.

Brake lights stay all the time. Service traction light on. Service cvs light on.

Brake lights are on when not pushing the pedal. As soon as you push the pedal, the lights go out. You come really close to getting rear-ended because the person behind you doesn't realize that you are stopping.

The brake lights do not always come on when the brake pedal is pressed. Other times the brake lights, including the center brake light is on without the pedal being pressed. Note this occurs both when stationary and moving.

Was recently made aware (numerous times in the last few weeks) that when driving down the road my brake lights are not working properly. At times when not applying the brakes the brake lights are on acting as if I was breaking and when I brake the brake lights turn off (so in other words it is reversed). Around the same time that this began to have likely started occurring the following warning lights began to appear; "esc" and service traction" (I do not know if there is any relation between the brake lights and noted warning lights). I do not feel safe driving the vehicle especially with my family in it as the brake lights are not giving other drivers around me the appropriate indication of what my vehicles intentions are. The brake light problem has been occurring, when in motion, stationary, highway and city street. Potentially parts that may require replacement or repair; body control module (bcm), bas, and harness connector.
