Per online reviews from recalls for 2011 malibu the power steering warning light flashed. this recall was not sent to me, however, my car is affected.
The esc turns off pretty much every time i drive the car. last monday the check engine light came on when the transmission was slipping m. the the transmission would no longer shift and the solenoid is stuck open while driving home from work. prompting the dealership to try and sell me a whole new $5,000 trans. when the car only has 130,000 miles on it. the transmission has been running slow on acceleration but has never been stuck in first gear leaving me left on the side of the road waiting for help to come get me. the headlight burn out like every 6 months resulting in taking off the bumper or paying $200 from the dealership for a $5 bulb. i have no pictures since my car is at the dealership waiting for me to either go get or pay for the transmission.
These are recalls that i was never made aware of and have not been repaired.
When we are driving the car it will start shaking, the esc light comes on and the car completely dies. this has happened while driving 15 mph and 70 mph on city streets and highways. we have had it in multiple shops and been told this is a common issue nobody has found a resolution for. very dangerous and afraid to put our kids in the car as we don't know when it will do it, there hasn't been a common variable.
Vehicle lights dim, loss of power, esc, traction control, illuminates on dash. car sputters with no acceleration. car is unable to turn. this happened as i began to leave my subdivision, luckily i was able to push it back. i have a new battery no car will not crank unless i have a jump.
Esc light comes off and on headlights burnout after maybe a few months of being changed for the last couple years.
Service esc light came on and disabled my engine twice! 1 time on february 14,2019 which i was told it was the throttle body got that replaces in march. come june samething happened service esc engine disabled and we had to be towed off of the expressway in june of 2019. after taking the car to the mechanic to get it serviced for the same issue again i was told that the body control module has a shortage in it and fuses in my fuse box had melted to the fuse box and caused a shortage ! the car stopping on the expressway could have killed me and my mom!!!
I recently obtained my 2011 malibu lt from superior auto in bedford, in. it is a truly outstanding machine. i was pleased with the entire ecotec 2.4 engine and fuel economy. the drivetrain is a little different topic. i was looking forward to trying the new push button shift setup. it was smooth for the first 3 weeks or so. oh by the way it barely turned 105,000 on the odometer. it started with 3rd shifting late and hard. then it was reverse not catching once shifter was engaged, making me use my brake to stop the vehicle. all of a sudden it completely stopped pulling forward or reverse. initially i assumed transmission just burned out. waited until the next morning, trying again and it engaged gear. it was ultimately short lived, once transmission warms it starts to fail completely. i'm very disgruntled and disappointed in the car company i was raised on. as well as my family for generations. not to mention, this my very first chevy buying on my own. please return my concerns please. i purchased the malibu from a local buy here pay here. this leaves me on a most aggravated note, due to ...
My check engine light has been coming on lately. so i took it to a place so they could check it. the results states that the camshaft position sensor needs to be replaced. my lights are dimming, the bright headlights symbol comes on if i am sitting under a viaduct, the radio is disappearing on the dashboard, and my heating system is on when it's off. then the car is jerking erratically when i proceed to drive after a stop. my vehicle is under 50,000 miles. it's at 48342 now. i need to know if there are any recalls because 3 years ago i,was under 35000 miles and had to pay for a new engine that should have been covered under the emissions act, and i had to pay $800 for that, plus getting disrespected by the manager at the dealership. please let me know if anything comes up concerning this matter. thank you
While driving service traction and service esc lights come on and car starts driving weird and doesn't feel safe!

Update on complaint #'s 1144041 & 11172602. on 2/8/19, i was 2 blocks from work when messages displayed for (service ecs, reduced engine power, check engine light). i drove right from work to the dealership, which was 9 miles away, with my hazards on and at a max speed of 25 mph. i drove it into the bay and told a service advisor that i was told to bring it back while the problem we keep trying to fix was actually happening. he tried to get someone to come hook up the code reader to it but was unable to so he turned off my car. i received a voicemail mid-day monday 2/11/19 to say that because my battery had been out of my car too long, they had to relearn the throttle body assembly. i left a message to specifically say that the last time the battery had been out of my car to my knowledge was 3/2018. when they called back, their conclusion was that the battery had not been installed or secured properly which caused them to have to relearn the throttle body assembly. on 2/19/2019, it happened again but they could not read ...
