Vsa Warning Light On Problems of Chevrolet Malibu - part 1

I was driving in a neighborhood about 15 mph. My car began to shake, the engine light was blinking, stability track light was on, and an icon came up saying that the �service stablitrek. � I had little control over the steering and I felt no traction while trying to pull over. I also have a problem where the car prompts a shift to park, even though my car is in park.

Low fuel, engine light, service stability track, shift to park lights come on. The low fuel light comes on first. The next day the engine light comes on sometimes it stays on then goes off. This happens when I'm driving. I've had all the recalls done. Ecm replaced. 2 weeks later the same thing. All dials go to zero. Slow take off after I've stopped at red light or stop sign. Is as if the transmission is going out. If I put on brakes they will throw me in the dash like I've crashed into something. When I take it dealership-no codes are found. Trying to turn car off, it says shift to park. It's already parked. I've taken it back to the dealership several times for this same problems-no codes. I've gotten a rental (for a week)so they can keep the car to try and recreate it- they can't. This car was bought new in August of 2018. Chevy Malibuls 4dr sdn black. The date below "when did this happen" outs the latest date.

My stability track light has been coming on for 2 days now and it is now causing my vehicle to shake when I am driving it. I am definitely concerned because this is a safety hazard. The light came on once last month as well, but now the light is appearing more frequently.

Engine light comes on a least once a week. When driving my car looses speed when pressing on the brakes. I would have to pull over before my car cuts off in the middle of the road. After pulling over I would have to restart my car. I took my car to the dealer they say there is nothing wrong with my car. The stability light comes on and off for no reason. I get notifications on emission related to my fuel tank even though I have sufficient fuel.

When taking off from a complete stop the car hesitates for 15-20 seconds before take-off. The lights and radio goes off and the dome light glitches. The electronic stability control light comes-on. The car has a real slow take-off. This problem was repaired in July 2018 and it started over in the last two-weeks.

Electronic stability control esc light comes on and says service then esc off. This is a safety issue with these cars. Seat belts fail. Safety issue. And our will not start because the anti theft system is activated for no reason. All of these are consistent with several other complaints. Gm should be ashamed for selling vehicles that fail. Approximately 78,000 miles. Hopefully they will step up and correct these problems!!.

Starting last week, I've noticed that my brake lights turn on when I'm not even touching the brake pedal. It happens all the time and the brake lights turn on when I'm accelerating and then turn off when I apply the brakes. I have to really push down hard on the brake pedal to have the brake lights turn on. The electronic stability control and traction lights also appeared on my dashboard and that's when I took my vehicle to the car shop today, but there was nothing wrong with my brakes, brake pads or suspension system. I looked online to find the recall number 14v252000 matching the exact description of what I'm experiencing in my chevy Malibu. I searched on VIN on the online database, but my car didn't appear in the search even though my car matches the make, model, year and manufacture date range (August 2008).

I have service esc light (electronic stability control) and power steering lights that just recently came on in my 2010 chevy Malibu. I have called gm and they refuse to fix the issue because it supposedly isn't under my VIN number 1g1zc5eb8a4113770, even though my car is experiencing the same issue as listed in the recalls. I have visited numerous sites from people who have 2010 Malibu's and have had the same issue with them refusing to fix the issue because it again supposedly wasn't listed under their VIN. I will be getting a lawyer and if my car causes me to get into an accident I have given all information to go forward with a lawsuit. This is absolutely unacceptable and I will never buy another car from gm!!!!!!!! now I have to pay out of pocket and I have no idea what it will cost me!!!! I don't know why I am even bothering to write this complaint because nothing will be done!!!.

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.

I have had several issues with the air bag and electronic stability control. I have taken my vehicle in before regarding the issue with the service air bag light before. Just recently the service esc (electronic stability control) light had come on. I called general motors regarding if there any recalls for my vehicle, and was told there are not active recalls, but I should take my vehicle in to have it serviced for the passenger side air bag not working properly (not on). I have also had numerous issues with my tmp(tire pressure monitoring) system as well with regard to low tire pressure that keeps showing the left front tire. When I put air in that tire air pressure is registering in the other tires as well. These are all serious safety concerns that need to be investigated. I don't know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem, but this could possibly lead to serious injuries or death.

*takata recall* while driving on highway steering became difficult to handle car began to shake in a jerking motion felt like wheels were going to fall off. On top of that took car to dealer ship and they didn't handle issue until my second visit to see if it would be covered under warranty I had to pay 100$ and find out my stability service light, and light and traction control light are on due to a rear bearing hub being broke and the sensor not being able to detect speed causing my rpm to be as the technician called it drive erratic and transmission is not shifting until 4-6,000 rpms. Also needs a fuel injection, and they mention a front turn signal being out which I never had any indication or knowledge of my headlights not working properly. Also, began talking to Chevrolet as I was on their sight and seen recalls which I hadn't been notified and wonder if some issues that are occurring are from previous recalls that were believed to have not affected me? is that possible? I am a full time student, in debt with loans and car payments as I don't get any support from family. The steering issue occurred very badly and suddenly on 3/13/2017. Stabilitrac service warning light abs and traction lights have been on since February 15 went to dealership on 20th they said they would look when I mentioned it, the issue wasn't looked at or even noted just may need 2 front tires. Currently at 75,259 miles I got the car in 2015 with about 45,000 miles. Do have documents from the two visits to the dealership and one visit from another mechanic. Also didn't realize a recall or issue has occured with a solenoid as my engine light went on and after taking it to a mechanic shop versus the dealership I paid 400$ and found out that was recalled at one point prior to me owning the vehicle.

On March 1, 2017 at 28981 miles, the airbag light came on, (not the first time). The next day, the stability control and the abs lights both also came on. In both occasions the car was moving at about 40 mph on a city street. I took it to the dealer, they charged me $153 to get a diagnosis. They wanted another $850 to have it fixed. I took it to another shop that did it for $190. These were 2 separate problems, one was the airbag light (a connection under the front passenger seat), and the other was a sensor in the left front wheel (the stability/abs light).

Vehicle has electronic stability control lights and the traction control service lights lit on dash. Also rear brake lights will come on and or off intermittently. Car has been repaired with a new brake light switch and a engine harness in the past year at the dealer. Car is well taken care of and should be on the recall list but for some reason it is not.

Esc lights, and traction stability control lights come on and off often, regardless of current weather conditions. I noticed it happens more when the weather is cooler. Started around 29k miles on my car. When the warning lights come on, my break lights stay on. Computer doesn't kick back any codes unless the warning lights that are on.

Dealership advised that they could not fix anything that could not be replicated/duplicated.

It first started when my stability light would come on and my car acted like it was going to die when I was in a stopping position. This happened about 3 times. Then I was at a stop light and my stability light came on and my car just died. I took my vehicle in to the dealership and they replaced my computer system. On my receipt they indicated due to short in the ecm. Replaced and reprogrammed the ecm. Since then there has been one time when my car acted like it was going to die. I turned off the heater and radio thinking something else was causing this to happen and my car did not die.
