Esc , traction control lights come on. then rear brake lights work opposite of standard brake light design. the rear brake lights come on while driving. when brake pedal is depressed, the brake lights turn off. this has been going on for two years now. the dealership just patches the repair. the repair only lasts a few weeks.

I buy a bulb every other week or month for my headlights on the passenger side keeps going out

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. while driving 25 mph, the vehicle unintentionally accelerated and then slowed down. the esc and traction control warning indicators were illuminated. the vehicle was taken to kramer tire (6628 providence rd, virginia beach, va 23464, (757) 346-5739) where the front brakes and rotors were replaced, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where the passenger side cv joint was replaced, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 108,000.

Traction control light continues to come on. when this happens the brakes malfunction illuminates when i'm not pressing the brakes and goes out when i do. disables cruise control. replaced body control module 6 months ago to correct these issues still having the same problem very unsafe.

While driving at 60mpg car rpg dropped to nothing, couldn't use the accelerator. able to move to the side of the road. got it going again then not even 5 mins later car started shaking badly, couldn't use the accelerator, pulled over. dash flashes with esc. service, traction control, engine reduced and check engine light comes on. this problem has been on going for well over a year. has nothing to do with colder months, first time it happened it was september. went out today to warm up my car as it was iced and snowed over, while cleaning it off it was fine. came back inside to finish getting ready to go and when i came out to my car, it was shaking, rpm was bouncing between 1-3, all the notices were on the dash again. took it for a drive around the block to see if it would resolve, couldn't get it to go above 15 mpg. i've taken it to numerous garages to get looked at, its always something different. one "fixed" the engine, another did an oil change and filter change, one changed the alternator, etc. everytime i take it somewhere they "fix" it for it to run for a week or so at a time til this happens again. luckily it has not caused any accidents but i will not drive it in this condition. been told its an electrical problem as well but i'm tired of spending money for it not to fix the underlying issue which no one can seem to figure out. i have learned this is a problem for a lot of chevy malibu owners. i am unable to get another vehicle so i am stuck with what i currently have.

My car keeps popping up service esc, engine power reduced and service traction lights keep coming on. have had fixed 3 times and sill keeps happening. while vehicle is driving it will die for no reason, once started back up sometimes it stops other times starts shaking and as no power.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. while driving 50 mph, the brake indicator illuminated independently. in addition, the service traction control warning indicator illuminated and the cruise control became inoperable. the contact stated that the vehicle was repaired on february 19, 2015 per nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control); however, the failure recurred twice. jeff wyler springfield chevrolet (located at 2237 w 1st st, springfield, oh 45504, (937) 525-4646) was notified. the manufacturer was also notified of the failure and provided case number: [xxx]. the approximate failure mileage was 163,000. *parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *an

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. the 2014 recall was done by the dealer and yet the problem keeps occurring. there was an update to the recall and this was also done but has not fixed the problem. this issue seems to happen intermittently and randomly.

Service esc, service traction control, service air bags, brake lights on when pedal not pressed and not on when pedal is pressed and cruise control doesn't work periodically. these message appear off and on while driving. i have had the sensor under the brake pedal replaced twice now. last time 14 months ago so no longer under warranty and needs replaced again.

I was driving at a speed of 40 mph when all of a sudden i heard a high revving sound as if another vehicle was right beside me passing and soon realized that it was my car revving with the rpm gauge going above 3 and my car slowing down. moments later my passengers and i felt a sudden "jerk" and the car jetted forward only to start revving again and this time i was merely moving at about 20 mph as i was still in shock from the first revving and non-accelerating moment. after trying helplessly to get the car to move at a speed of at least 15-20 mph, i decided to stop/restart the car and try using the manual shift. it gave another sudden "jerking" movement and moved in m5 but not even 10 seconds the car started with the loud revving sound as if i were mashing gas which i wasn't and we barely made it home at about 10mph using hazard lights. we basically had to push it over 2 very small speed bumps on the way in the gate. i decided to take it to the autonation shevy dealership where i bought it but unfortunately the car would not move and instead had to be towed there. autonation chevy did a "diagnosis" of sorts and within moments called to say that there is metal in the transmission and i need to pay a whopping $4,300.00 to have it fixed. of course i could go on about how frustrating and humiliating this whole ordeal has been from beginning to $$$$ end bud i'd appreciate it if chevy can reach out to me because i have a friend who said she had the same issue with her malibu. i'm sure there are others out there but i'm now wondering if chevy wants to wait until god forbid a dire situation occurs before they fix this problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. while driving and making turns, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver and shook violently. there was no warning indicator illuminated. in addition, while driving approximately 40 mph and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle started to decelerate and the temperature gauge increased. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 100,615.

I was driving home on a city street, with my 3 young children in the vehicle, when suddenly my car started violently shaking and quickly decelerated to about 10 mph. it was very scary and i just thought what if this happened while i was on the interstate i regularly drive. thankfully i was close to home and was able to make it home.

Malibu decreases speed and downshifts and engine power reduced comes up in message center, no bumps, hard braking, no carwashes, simply driving down the road at 45mph and car illuminates engine light. several parts have been replaced already for example throttle body, knock sensor, maf sensor, battery, fuse box, accelerator pedal all of these parts and my issue still persists. several complaints have been made for this year make and model therefore i do not feel like this is an isolated issue.

My tail lights come on without pressing the pedal and they do not come on, when the pedal is pressed. very, very close to being rear ended. all roads and at all speeds. cruise control is also affected. esc light has come on. very dangerous situation. nhtsa says there is a recall, chevrolet says there is not.

Headlights won't work brand new lightbulbs dashboard lights dim is outcontrol transaction turns on brake light turns on without touching the brakes they basically stay on and more

The first time my vehicle died while driving i was slowing down to turn right. the engine died and i turned off the vehicle, tried to restart and it would not stay started. i had it towed to the dealership and they could not duplicate the problem or get the car to give them codes so they had me pick it up. the 2nd time the car died on the freeway a week later. i was going 60mph trying to keep acceleration when it lost power. thankfully i was near an exit and i was able to pull to the side of the exit. again had it towed to the dealership. they duplicated the problem but have not been able to figure out what's causing it.

Two days ago my husband, two children and i were driving at about 40-45 mph when our 2010 chevy malibu drastically slowed down and wouldn't accelerate with the gas pedal pressed all the way to the floor. at the same time service esc, service traction and engine power reduced illuminated on our dash. thankfully we were able to coast into a gas station. after turning the car off and on again, checking under the hood and sitting for over 30 minutes the problem still persisted. the car would not accelerate at all. we had to have a tow truck come get the car and bring it to the chevy dealership. today we received a call from the delearship saying we needed to replace the throttle body and it would cost $630. this doesn't make sense as the car has only 13,000 miles on it and has been very well taken care of. i put the vin into the recall database and the only recall attached to our vin is the brake lamp malfunction. this is very dangerous and should be looked into by the manufacturer.

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.

I have 2010 chevy malibu i love my car it has never given me any problems the whole 3 years of owning it just the normal maintenance. one day i was driving at a speed of 25 mph and i crossed over an intersection and as soon as i did so i pushed to gas pedal to accelerate a little and i noticed that it wasn't going. this was very dangerous because i had my children in the car and another vehicle was right behind me and could have caused a car crash. i didn't realize that the car had shut off because everything was still work radio was on , lights were working. so i pulled over and turned the car completely off and when i tried to turn it back on it wouldn't start. the engine just kept turning over and not getting a good spark. and it also caused the battery to fail so i had to get a new battery. i changed the camshaft sensor, the crankshaft sensor and the car is still doing the same thing. this is a huge inconvenience for me because no one can find out what the problem is because the battery died o lost all diagnostic codes. now what?

Engine power reduced while i was driving into my daughters school.

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. the contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to respond. the contact stated that there was an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. the contact stated that the vehicle lacked forward momentum. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the wave plate in the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 76,633. *ln consumer stated on 9/17/11 car not getting power. made loud noise drove appox. 15 miles. took cat to menke motor, transmission failed had engine repaired for $2300.00 updated 7/24/18*jb

The vechile lost speed as i was driving into a parking space. i then put it in park. at that point the engine light was blinking. the car was shaking uncontrollably as if it would all just fall apart in pieces. the steering wheel was hard to turn and also rapidly shaking. the service esc, service traction control, and a light with a car on a curved road was also on. this almost caused me to hit a parked car in front of me. i turned the car off and then back on and all the lights were off. i believe it to be the streering coloumn or an electrial issue. i read on some recalls and i think it is similar to the recall #14e044000. however, when i search my vin it is not listed under it. yet it is the same issue.

While in motion, my 2010 chevy malibu ltz has been intermittently giving me a "service traction" "esc off" notice and the cruise control is also working intermittently.

Engine power reduce light came on and i lost power in the middle of the freeway.

Had camshaft sensor installed less than a year ago and engine came on with same sensor code. the electrical system is going out constantly and headlight bulb was repaired 4 times less than a year. cost me over 600 total one service was done for free because it was repaired and blew the next day. so much work and barely drive to car to and from work only 2 miles. i plan to make a complaint to the attorney general for explanations if not solved or reimbursed. the vehicle stays in the shop more than use. traction control sensor replaces and came back 2 weeks later. the vehicle also stalled with my children on a busy street where a vehicle almost struck the back side missing my daughter by inches. unsafe vehicle and too many malfuctions.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the rpms increased; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate. there was also an abnormal noise detected from the vehicle and the speedometer was not displaying the correct speed. the contact also mentioned that the instrument panel lighting flashed on and off. the vehicle was taken to cardinal buick gmc (3800 il-15, belleville, il 62226, (618) 233-0303) where the contact was informed that the electrical cluster needed to be replaced and no failure was found with the transmission. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 40,000.

I was driving and then came to a stop to pull on a major highway. when i turned on the high way my malibu wouldn't accelerate and acted as if it was in neutral, as a semi pulled up behind me i had to put it almost in a ditch so i wouldn't get hit. my mechanic says its the 3,5,r wave plate and that he looked at all the malibu forums online and found out that many people have had this happen. i contacted gm and they told me there was nothing they could do. never buying a chevy again. *tr

I was driving on the highway, going 60mph. the car suddenly slowed down to about 5mph and started violently shaking, and i had to quickly pull to the shoulder lane, "reduced engine speed" appeared on the dashboard, along with "esc traction control". restarted my car and the light went off. about 15 mins later, it did the same thing. this is extremely dangerous for myself and other people around me.

Freeway driving speed of 65 mph. turned off freeway on to a 50 mph road. engine light, service esc light and traction control lights all came on. car went into "limp mode" and reduced driving to only 20 mph. drove 5 miles in limp mode to get home. got a "p1235" code. after leaving car for an hour and restarting, it drive normally but, check engine light is still on and the p1235 code is stored. took vehicle to a mechanic and car drove as normal. he thinks it is a button on the gas pedal or a throttle body. both are expensive options and should be under some warranty. this vehicle is only 7 years old. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. while driving 20 mph, the vehicle vibrated abnormally and the check engine indicator illuminated. the reduced engine power warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle decelerated independently. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 109,575.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. the contact stated that there was a recall regarding the throttle body reduced power mode, but the vin was not included the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing the same issue listed in the recall. the manufacturer was not notified. the nhtsa campaign number was unknown. the failure mileage was 50,200. updated 05/03/17*lj *cn

The vehicle lost engine power after being driven for 15 minutes, the engine ran rough, reduced power messages, service esc, and service traction messages appeared. vehicle was serviced and the technician stated that it "was not safe to drive because it could accelerate without a foot on the gas."

Repairs were completed a couple of years ago on this vehicle from recall id 14v252000, however, my vehicle has recently experienced the similar symptoms as described on the recall. the service traction, service esc and esc off warnings display on the dashboard unpredictably. this happens whether the vehicle is idling or in motion. when the warnings pop up the brake lights are illuminated without depressing the pedal,the brake lights turn off briefly when depressed, however, when the brake pedal is released, the brake lights come back on and remains on. also when the warnings are displayed, the cruise control disengages, and i'm able to shift out of park without depressing the brake. turning the key off resets the warnings, but the warnings and symptoms return again - sometimes immediately and other times it may take hours of driving. i'm concerned that the original recall repairs did not correct the problem.

I was getting on i10 as i began to merge onto the interstate my car came to crawl did it start to gain power allowing me to merge onto i10 safely. so i thought. as i was reaching 70mph the car stalls ( no steering no engine power) on my dash board it read reduce engine power service traction ! wth out of know where this happen the dash didnt read that till my car stalled and all power was loss. mind u i have a toddler and an [xxx] with me in a stalled vehicle on the interstate. i called gm they said i had no recall on my car due to my vin my car at the time was at 65000 mile. that was maybe 1 yr ago starting 7/17/16 at 163000 miles my car stalled twice my service traction control reduce engine power light came on after the car stalls looses power! called the dealer ship to make an appt for monday because i work and i have two kids this is supposed to be my realibile car. i am scared to drive it to the dealer ship come monday becauuse i feel it is a danger for me and my family. it stalls with no warning what so ever it takes 20 minutes to start up after a stall out! it is not safe if my car is not in the recall how is it that my car has the same problems as other s?

Takata recall my car started to slow down to 35 to 40 mph in the middle of traffic and i call to see if there was a recall and i was told for some models but not mine and it's doing the same as the other cars it's not safe.

First repair, airbag service required. the dealership claimed it was a loose wire. 2nd repair, esc maintenance required, traction service required, engine power reduced, vehicle will not leave neutral. if gas is applied vehicle jumps and shakes. 3rd is same as 2nd and 4th visit is same as previous except when i received ownership of the vehicle it could not make it out of the parking lot. after mentioning the lemon law the dealership is now trying to blame this technically 5th visit on an ignition coil even though esc maintenance message was displayed with traction control, engine pwr reduced, the vehocle was still shakig, and now the check engine light is on when it wasn't before.

I haven't had this car but 4yrs and the transmission is already messing up found a recall and i was told it wasn't for my car. what do i need to do to get my car fixed????

In 2014, general motors' recall #13036 was serviced by chevrolet dealership who said problem was corrected. in june 2016 the problem has reoccurred. while in motion the brake lights come on without pressing the brake peddle; the cruise control disengages; and disablement of traction control and electronic stability which could increase the risk of a crash. all occur while vehicle is in motion on city streets and highways.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. while driving at any speed, the brake lights remained illuminated. when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake lights turned off. the contact stated that "service esc" and "traction control is off " appeared on the instrument panel. also, the steering and accelerator pedal felt heavy and the vehicle slowed down. the issue recurred numerous times. the contact stated that the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v252000 (electrical system, electronic stability control, exterior service brakes, hydraulic, vehicle speed control) and was repaired in 2014. the failure recurred. the dealer and manufacturer were notified. the vehicle was not repaired again. the approximate failure mileage was 24,000.

Right now i have the service esc and service traction light on again for the 3rd time. i took each time to chevy classic in grapevine tx and they told me no codes the 1st time, took it to clay cooley in irving--light came on then no codes they showed. today 4-15=16 light came on again and i took it to classic chevy and they found 3 codes this time. they say i will have to pay for this! i should not since there was an open recall on 5/14/2014 for 2010 malibu's. my car is doing this now !@!!@ it needs to be fixed at no charge to me!! i feel like this is the most dangerous car on the road for me and my daughter. i don't want to be a statistic if we have a car crash and it was all because chevy kept making excuses to not fix my crap car for me. the other recall was the brake system not illuminating i got that letter a little too late . someone rear ended me in oct 2012 while i was stopped at a red light. maybe those stupid back brake lights were not working then!!!!!! someone at classic or clay cooolye chevy needs to fix this esc light on my car and fix all the recalls for free. i also have an eps recall letter that was sent to me but someone at chevy told me the light has to come on for them to fix it. this is ridiculous. my car needs to be fixed for all these problems it has no matter if the light is on or not. but the light is on for service esc and traction right now!@ gm or chevy needs to pay for it and fix this car. the consumer stated the dealer did not completely fix the problem. they only lubricated and she continued to experience problems with the brakes, service light and esc light. also, the front axle was leaking.

Esc service light comes on intermittently, brake lights are illuminated 100 % of the time, and cruise control doesn't work. the dealer did the recall a year ago and now i have these issues. replaced brake position and reprogram for $140 but didn't fix. dealer now wants to replace abs modulator valve, bcm, and abs control module for 1450.

Trafficator continues to malfunction, ocassional brake failures and other digital lights malfunctioned and stopped to function any completely. i was almost in a deadly crash again. sterring wheel. not once these incidence happened all happened on motion.

The traction control light comes on and stays on. will not turn off now my brakes do not work properly and causes the car to be hard to stop.

2010 chevrolet malibu. consumer writes in regards to esc light continuously illuminating and trac control switch issues. *smd the consumer stated after the part was replaced, the esc light illuminated again. the consumer continued to report the trac service light was still displayed. the dealer stated it was a possible bcm internal failure. the consumer received a recall notice shortly thereafter regarding an issue with the bcm connection system which could result i a malfunction. one of the symptoms of the problem, as stated in the notice was traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features, if equipped may be disabled. the vehicle was repaired at no cost to the consumer *jb

Brake lights were working in reverse after recall repairs were done so chevy charged me full price for diagnostics because they said that the recall repairs were already done, so there was nothing they could do. we replaced brake switch. a month later problem persisted, chevy dealership charged $50 for relearning brake position, even though that was all supposed to have been fixed in recall repairs. brake lights are still not working properly and the traction control/esc light is on, and cruise control doesn't work. i am now taking it back to dealership and they are charging me an additional $50 just to take another look at it. i feel i shouldn't be charged for any of this since it all should have been taken care of during the repairs done for recall #: 14v252000. this is a dangerous manufacturing error that gm should be acknowledging and repairing at no cost to the owners. i know i cannot be the only one suffering this issue especially after reading numerous customer complaints online.

When turning or drving car. it would lose speed. also noticed smell in car of fuel i would get nauseating headaches. purchased car june 2015 from courstey ford. car was in motion on street and highway.
