I was travelling about 25-30mph started to skid (yes it was icy) lightly tapped the brakes then all of a sudden the steering locked up and the brakes also. all i could do was let go and hope for the best. ending up hitting a fed ex van and pge truck with a snow plow. there is a police report and the car ended up getting totalled. i had only made one payment on it. insurance claim# 003379048000000016001 usaa , airbag did not deploy.
Brake lights stay illuminated while driving and turns off when brake pedal is engaged. it is also illuminated while the car is running and while idling in park. this happens on a daily basis. there has been no resolution to this issue despite being assessed by a technician on numerous occasions. the esc and traction control lights on cluster constantly stays illuminated as well as the tire sensor indicator. the cruise control malfunctions too. no one ever knows how to repair these issues. i do not have the funds to put into this vehicle any longer. i am afraid to drive this vehicle every time i get in it. it is a danger to all on the roadways when a vehicle's brake system fails in any way. i have no other choice as this is the only vehicle my family owns at this time. from what i have read, gm has multiple vehicles in operation with the same issues. what makes it so bad, the problems date back as far as 2004. how do you keep producing cars with the same issues year after year? are there no repercussions? please help.
My brake lights are on when i am driving and then when the brakes are pressed the brake lights go off. it's a scary thing because it really confuses the cars behind me.
We own a 2010 chevrolet malibu ltz, we have taken it to the dealer to perform a recall for the brake lights coming on by their self and staying on till you touch the brake, then they will go off for 6 seconds then come on again. we took back to the dealer to look at it again and they said it was brake light switch this time. i have read that other people have changed the brake light switch and still had the problem. i also read that the bcm needed to be replaced to correct this problem after the recall was done. the dealer put some dielectric silicone grease on the connector as a band-aid on the real problem. i assume if the bcm needs to be replaced that would cost gm to much money. i know that a lot of people are having this problem and believe it has been going on since 2004 on many different models. please help us.
My service esc/traction light comes on and the brakes comes o without being pressed, this doesn't happen all the time. i have had it looked at and the mechanic couldn't find anything wrong. i have researched my vin and there are no recalls, however i have noticed that the brake issue has been recalled on malibu's before. the brake comes on randomly while i am driving so does the esc light, on various surfaces. *tr
My 2010 malibu lt, had the 13036 recall 11/03/2014 after i received the notice from gm. there were no malfunctions at that time. now as i speak, the brake lights comes on without me hitting the brake peddle and they all go off when i hit the brakes, when i talked to the dealer they recommend i bring it in and they will try to find out what is causing this. price range $500.00-$1250.00. now if you look on any gm forum page or just google the situation that i am having, you will find thousands of the same problem. it looks like gm does not have safety in mind after you purchase their vehicles! the 13036 recall has been revised several times, so if you had the recall performed in the early stages, they note your vehicle as completed and send you on your way. i can not drive my car because of this issue- that sucks!!!!! i contacted gm, by email and also left a message last year when the service traction control warning message started. i have not heard from gm. still no safety recall!!!!
I purchased this car in september 2016 and not more than two days of owning it my esc lights disabled and my brake lights were stuck on, i brought it into the dealership and they replaced the break pedal sensor, and the lights came on again, i brought it in again and they once again replaced the sensor, this problem has yet to be fixed almost two years later, the esc constantly disables and the brake lights come on and stay stuck i am lucky i have not been in an accident. the dealership i bought it from have failed on several occasions to fix this problem. now they are telling me i will have to pay for a problem that they never actually fixed. i will be driving and my check traction light will come on and my esc light will say off. you can see by the attached document i originally reported this problem on 9/26/2016, i purchased the car september 24, 2016... two days later and this issue started occurring and now two years later and it is still not fixed.
Issue started 08/27/16 while 19 year old was driving at night. as the brake pedal is compressed the brake lights go off. while driving they are on. service traction and esc warnings come on intermittently. i have contacted chevrolet and have been advised there is not an open recall for this vehicle. a case has been opened with the manufacturer. i have been driving the vehicle several times and have almost been rear ended several times due to this issue. the vehicle is scheduled for inspection and maintenance 09/01/16 at miller and sons chevrolet. they have been advised of the issue. i have a suspicion this is a recurring issue on a previous recall (14v252000) after seeing some recent complaints from those whom have had the issue fixed the first time. this is the 5 time in 2 months i have had to have this vehicle in the shop. once for intake and exhaust solenoid replacement. "tapping noises" these ultimately led to a timing chain replacement of which gm covered 800.00. i had to pay 600.00. in all i have spent over 900.00 on this vehicle for repairs which i feel should have been covered under other vehicle recalls. either fix the existing problems or take the vehicle off the market and buy back.
On aug 19th, i went to dealer in dulles to look for a car posted as private, but any how, i ended up buying chevy because dealer explained me the cars good features and misled me about the previous cars condition as the carfax shows it was haildamaged, used as rental, and it has a open recall. without informing me about the open recall or anything else, the dealer sold me this car without showing me carfax, as i asked carfax, he showed me minor part of minor in his phone and misled and lied to me and sold this car. i drove for almost 3 week and went to toyota dealership and found out it had open recall, haildamaged, and used as rental, but the dealer didnt disclose me anything. when i went to return this car, then dealer named chris said it doesnt have to disclose anything. note, eventhough, it might be safety concern like that open recall. i am tired of driving this car with a open recall for almost one and half month, and i don't like this car and want to return to a dealer because he lied and misled about the condition of the car and endanger mine and my family life without even informing me about the recall. please kindly take a concrete measure, so that dealers this are not misleading and lieing about the car's condition. i filed complaint in consumer protection too and they mentioned about transportation safety administration. please kindly help me.
As i pulled out from work, i noticed that as the car should have been going into second or third gear, the rpm's just revved. i was heading down a hill at the time, and when it got to around 30-35 mph, the gear caught (thank goodness because it was starting to get a bit scary at that moment) and was able to be driven like normal. i had a few stop lights along the way home, and each time that i came to a complete stop and then started driving, the same thing would occur. as i got home, i called the nearest dealership, david stanley chevrolet here in oklahoma city, to make an appointment to have it looked at. it sat in the garage for the duration of the weekend, and then i took it in this morning (monday aug.22nd) for my appointment. as i was driving from my house to the dealership (around 8 miles) i noticed that it had gotten worse. a few times on the trip i did not think that it was going to make it the whole way there and then about a mile or so from the dealership, the check engine light came on. later, i had to go in reverse after i arrived and found that the car would not shift into reverse. i dropped it off to have them do the diagnostic on it for $120. as i got home, my wife and i did some research on our car, trying to figure out what it might be while the diagnostic was taking place. i have to say that i was shocked by what i found. website after website with comments from other chevy malibu owners ranging from 2000, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 describing the exact same issues i was having. all describing a "broken 35r wave plate" that results in a "loss of reverse gear, slipping or harsh 3rd or 5th gear shift". .

I have repeatedly filed complaints with gm that my service air bag light stays on / my breaklight located in back window works opposite of what it is supposed to. i am notifing you in writing that gm has not done anything to help me. i guess if my air bag expolodes while im driving and i kill some folks in an accident i just want you to be aware
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. while driving 25 mph, the brake lights illuminated without the brake pedal being depressed. in addition, the service air bag error message was displayed across the message board. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 99,200.
Brake lamp malfunction. brake lights stay on until brake pedal pushed at which time, brake lights extinguish. traction control and cruise control also fail. same vehicle with same issue was previously subject to safety recall 13036. recall was completed and issue continued. brake apply sensor was replaced, prior to recall and issue remained. recall work was completed on 11/15/14. issues intermittently occur and in june 2016 vehicle taken to gm dealer where brake apply sensor was replaced. issue still remains as brake lights stay on until pedal pushed, traction control and cruise control failure. a previous complaint was filed with nhtsa regarding this vehicle and above issues prior to recall. issues occur when vehicle is stationary, and in motion on city streets and interstate highways. more documents available upon request
The original recall for this issue is 13036, this involved the brake lights malfunctioning due to a faulty connector and or connection. gm instructed their personnel to clean the part, apply corrosive resistant grease to it and reattach. the issue is, this is only a temporary fix and the problem will continue to manifest itself unless the entire housing is replaced (at a cost of almost 600.00). i took my car for the recall "repair" in sept of 2014, the third week of june 2015 my brake lights started working in reverse order again. this part needs to be replaced, not cleaned. the person at the dealership said as much, telling me that cleaning it would help in the short term but only for a few months, if that. that means that gm is allowing millions of people to drive these cars knowing full well that the brake lighting system is subject to failure, which is very hard for the driver to detect. please reopen this recall, or open a new one to have this problem fixed correctly, just think of a malibu with a family in it stopped in traffic on the expressway, the semi coming up behind them doesn't know traffic is stopped because the brake lights are not on, the driver of the malibu has no clue that their lights are working in reverse order, you can imagine how tragic the ending of that story could be.
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.
My 2010 chevy malibu is having issues with the break lights working in reverse, the esc traction control sensor is going off. we have replaced the break light switch and it's still not working. i have seen multiple complaints regarding this issue. i am an avid chevy person, i have had the car in for all recalls and it happened about a year after. car was in motion
Brake lights malfunctions, brake lights will be illuminating when brake is not pressed also gear shifter is difficult to get out of park service esc traction control light comes on this vehicle has been serviced in july 2011, september 2012. august 2013. september 2014, and february 2016 for the same ongoing safety issue. gm doesn't know how to fix it. there was a recall for this very problem recall # 13036 but once they repair it, they consider the recall closed even though they did not fix the problem.
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.
Whenever i press the gass and i let it go the car keeps going and when i try to stop the car takes longer to stop because the engine try to keep going so i have to press the break harder and when finally stops after like 5 minutes the car goes normal.
While driving the car at normal traveling speed the electronic stability control shuts off and the car goes into manual steering which makes the car very difficult to control and has almost caused two accidents and has made me ark the car because i feel it is far too dangerous to drive. this started occurring february15th and continued until i parked the car on feb2st.
Center brake light does not consistently light up when prompted by brake pedal. sometimes it will work, sometimes with a little more effort on the pedal, sometimes not at all. service esc will also at times come on. both issues were part of a recall and supposedly fixed. it did work for a while, but started happening again. i don't think the prescribed fix was sufficient.
Car lost control of power steering same time as driver side back brake light went out steering wheel shakes bad when slowing down from 70
12/4/15 night, dry conditions, expressway: in motion: chime sounded and 2 warnings flash - service esc & service traction. 15 minutes later, - city streets, dry, same issue with esc and traction warning lights going on, plus almost rear ended. irate driver behind me said my brake lights were out, but they were astonished when the break lights came on while i was outside the car. they asked me to press the pedal - no lights. 20 secs after lifting off the pedal, brake lights on. major safety issue. upon driving found brake lights always go off when brake pedal depressed, go on at other times randomly while driving and go off again when brake pedal depressed.
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.
The car has consistent service esc / service traction light warnings that cause multiple problems. the most serious now is that the back brake lights buen constantly as if i'm riding my brakes. it also disengages the traction control. this has gone on for 3 years, 7 repairs and it's now out of warranty. i took it most recently to capitol chevrolet in austin. they simply replaced the same malfunctioning part again. i have case complaint with gm, but no resolution yet. it occurs now every time i start the car. it used to be intermittent
I have filed one complaint about this issue, now after having the brake light switch replaced, i am back again. my 2010 chevy malibu,[xxx], the brake lights illuminate when the brake peddle is not engaged. by pressing hard enough on the brakes (which cannot be done when slowing down, or a simple brake), the brake lights do come on. i have had the recall notice on this issue addressed and now have had the brake light switch replaced, this problem is still there. the brake lights do not operate properly and are on when they should be off and vice versa. i have contacted chevy (gm) by chat, email, and phone and still cannot get help on getting this fixed appropriately. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

As i was driving a light came on that said esc, traction, service esc at one point it said traction off. it has happened numerous times sometimes i go to start the vehicle and the light is on and the car will not budge from park and i was stranded for over an hour in the evening all alone. other time i was driving and the light came on and the brake lights are on the whole time and people were honking at me. my worst time was when i was driving going about 55 on a very dark road with my daughter in the car had about 40 miles to drive to get home and the light came on as i was driving and apparently then i had no brake lights at all ! all the way home no brake lights i was unaware of this until a car drove up on me almost hitting me from behind because he could not see me until he was right on me and i had to swerve over to the next lane to avoid being hit this was a very scary and traumatic incident for my daughter and i! this is beyond dangerous and something needs to be done, when i called the dealership they said their was a recall but that they had fixed it during my last oil change which i was never made aware of but case being if it was "fixed" then why am i still riding in a dangerous vehicle?! one day its okay and the next day i may be on the express way doing 55 hoping not to die due to a faulty system something needs to be done about this issue before someone is seriously hurt! i am disappointed in the way the chevrolet dealership is just brushing this off as yes it was a recall but we took care of it supposedly so now that's not the problem in their words it's now your problem! i can say that by the way i have been treated and getting the run around and being scared to drive a vehicle that i no longer feel safe in has really really caused me to dislike chevrolet!

Brake lights illuminate without brake pedal being pushed. *tr
First occurrence i was driving down the road and my warning lights came on for esc off, service traction control, service esc at 50 mph. at first it would only come on once every couple weeks but now it comes on almost every time i drive it. it varies (speed doesn't matter) whether or not going down the highway or stopping in a driveway when it comes on but warning lights will come on when you touch the brakes. i also observed that the brake lights stay on while going down the road (when its dark outside) but when you apply the brakes the brake lights go off. i feel this could be dangerous if someone is following behind you and thinks that you have let off the brakes but you are actually slowing down. i don't think that they have an apparent fix for this issue as i see several reports from vehicles ranging from 2008 to 2012 online complaining about this same issue. it is intermittent. when you turn the car off after this occurs the lights will go off. sometimes only for a short period other times for a week weeks before it comes on again. i took my car to the local dealership but they were no help, didn't even test drive it. i was almost rear ended, other person in car screaming at me, yelling i have no brake lights. i just hope i do not have an accident. *tr
Rear exterior brake lights stayed on while driving. lights would go off when brake was slightly depressed and would come back on when pedal was depressed more firmly. *tr
I was on my way to work and my cruise control cut off by itself then i noticed by brake lights were on. so i pulled over to the shoulder of the road and turned my car off then turned it back on and proceeded to work. my brake lights came back on. when i came home later that evening my brake light were working again, when i tried to use my cruise control it went off again by itself and i haven't been able to use it sense. now my brake lights stay on all the time i just hope nobody runs into the back of me. when i press the brake my brake lights go off. my inside light doesn't work with this happening to my car. the traction control light stays on all the time have tried numerous things to try and fix the problem. its getting to be a headache buy a car and now its dangerous i just hope i can get it taken care of before i get into an accident.
