Problems with 2012 Chevrolet Malibu ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Vehicle would not start. dealership changed fuse box and wiring in trunk due to melting. now low beam headlights not working. replaced one months ago, now both not working again. noticed similar complaints on your website.

Driving my vehicle with my 3 month old daughter in the car. turned the wheel as i was taking a turn and the power steering completely stopped. this forced me to apply the brake because i almost wemt off the road!! i see this isn't the only incident involving the esc and power steering!! vehicle currently has "service esc" and "power steering" messages displayed in the info messages.

Driver side headlight kept going in and out until completely going out and not working. when getting a new bulb put it it did the same thing a week later. the wiring in the headlight is faulty. the same thing goes for the front speakers of the car. the front speakers will come on and off on their own as well.

I have replace my headlights about 10 within two years. firestone have replaced the wiring, and my headlight still goes out. i'm beyond frustrated. if you go to cargurus.com, everyone is having the same problem. this is ridiculous!

I was sold a car priced at $4,995 but when the initial contract was signed the car representative failed to keep the price the same and without consent overcharged me for the car $10,000 i called back a week later to notify them the car had went out, was in bad condition, wasn't driving, and put me and my family in harms way. car shutoff twice in motion once while actually driving on the freeway. i asked to have it repaired due to the fact that i was forced into purchasing their warranty that he stated came with the car but put in the contract later that i would pay $1000+ dollars for it when it's an expired warranty from 2017 when the dealer first got the car so it's only a extended warranty and doesn't help with anything. he came once to repair the car by putting some fluid inside to make it run & instead told me he changed the battery which turned out to be false the car kept cutting off and going out i kept seeking help it was david and abn motors who refused to fix any mechanical issue i was having with the ...

Passenger side low beam headlight keep going out i have replaced bulb and socket several times ..it work only for 2 weeks and problem keep coming ..this is fifth time i'm having to fix the issues

Car suddenly failed to accelerate as i pulled on the the interstate. car filled with a burning smell. dealer said the rear defrost malfunctioned and melted the fuse block located in the trunk damaging all wiring on the fuse block. i'm concerned that this bypassed the fuse and the relay with such a surge that it was hot enough to melt the entire fuse block. this could have led to a very serious fire where i was trapped in the car. i was fortunate to be able to pull off the interstate, but if i were in the far lane, i could have been stuck in a high speed lane resulting in injury to myself or others. the car is very low mileage and garage stored, so it is in very good condition and maintained regularly. was just in to the dealer less than 10 days prior (power steering esc recall) with no indication that there was a problem. this is a very serious safety issue. car currently at phillips chevy in frankfort, il.

Three times in two months the passenger low beam has gone out. i work nights and each time it has gone out it has been while i am driving to work in the dark. i have researched the issue and no clear answer has been given on how to fix the issue.

For no reason interior and exterior lights go on and off by itself. neighbor reported car lights on 3:30 am. we also caught while keys were on table and locked the lights came on and off twice in the evening. this is while parked for the night.

The car seems to run fine once it starts. the problem is getting it to start. sometimes the car starts without any problems and then sometimes it won't. it has left me stranded multiple times. we replaced the fuel pump, which seemed to fix the problem for a few days and then the same thing started to happen. we replaced a couple of fuses. again this seemed to fix the problem for a few days and then the same thing started to happen. my husband and i noticed that there is some wiring that is always hot leading from the fuse box to the fuel pump. basically we believe that chevrolet used cheap crappy thin wiring. because of this, the car won't start. we did some research online and it seems that everyone who owns a 2012 chevy malibu has had a similar problem that has cost consumers hundreds of dollars. we have always owned a chevy and this is the first vehicle that we have ever had a problem with. we are seriously considering switching to toyota or nissan since chevrolet has been receiving complaints and thus far has chosen not to do anything. chevrolet manufactured the 2012 chevy ...

Was driving and my car stopped accelerating. i pushed on the gas and it would not go. i was on the free way and almost had an accident. also car would no longer start after stopped. would act like it was going to start and does not. i've had several toes with my children in the vehicle. a huge safety concern.

2012 chevrolet malibu. consumer writes in regards to nhtsa safety recall 14v-252. *ld the consumer stated after the vehicle was repaired under the recall, the failure recurred. * js

I have a 2012 chevy malibu and since november we have had headlight problems and changes bulbs and got a new wire harness and we still have problems with passenger side low beam light going out. it is a real pain cause it takes a bit to even get to the headlight. have to take the bumber off and real frustrating.

My car will randomly not start. i have bought a brand new battery. that wasn't the problem. a week later, my gear shift wouldn't move. i had to stay in my vehicle and miss an appointment because of this. i couldn't get it to move from drive to park. after several tries and 30 minutes, it finally moved. it's gotten stuck a few times trying to move it from park to drive as well. and when i'm driving, the emergency lights will randomly illuminate and wipers won't work. i was driving when it was pouring rain and the wipers wouldn't turn on with all emergency lights illuminated as well. this can happen anytime i'm on a city street going from 25 to 45 mph. i have had to have it towed several times to different shops and they can't tell me what's wrong.

My car won't turn over after i turn it off sometimes. sometimes it will be most other times it doesn't. the battery is new, spark plugs are new, sensors are new. starter isn't the problem. don't know what it could be? it was stationary when this happens, when i try to turn the car back on.
