Recently reported ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL problems on 2013 Chevrolet Malibu

My gauge cluster started malfunctioning 2 weeks ago while sitting in car on parked position. kicks on for about 30 minutes then will go black doesn't matter if i'm driving. my gm mechanic ordered the part but still has not arrived, there are other complaints for the same issue and this problem has not been corrected it seems up to this year. how am i supposed to fix my chevy if i cannot get the part. this is unacceptable.

Driving on the highway and battery charging system and stability track error msg showed up. car completely shut off and had to be towed.

This happened two days in a row i was driving me so me turning a corner and my car just stopped steer wheel locked up could move the car or nothing near had an accident i'm a petrified because i don't know when this god happens again i vaule my life this recall seriously needs to be looked into i worked hard many long days to save to get this car just for it to turn out bad i seriously need help with this life threatening issue.

The charging system went completely dead while driving. i had no power steering everything went black no speed, no lights, i couldn't even turn on my hazards while i was sitting in the middle lane of the interstate hoping i wouldn't get killed because of this. why is there no warning to let you know your battery and charging system is dead. why is this not a recall from chevy? please advise.

A few times that i have been driving my car, i have experienced issues with the car turning off and losing power steering and control while in motion. the whole car turn off and wheel locks up, preventing me from being able to control the car. countless searching through forums led me to find many people who have experienced the same issue. and from the forums, many claim the reason for these problems happening is faulty battery cables that gm that doesn't want to admit. this is a safety issue because i have had my car turn off while driving on the highway and in the city. and i'm not the only experiencing this issue. it's widespread among 2013 chevrolet malibu's. here is a link to one of many forums taking about this issue: https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t33502_ds916791

Sometimes it happens when i turn on my blinker others its random but the car stalls and the radio turns off along with the power steering.

Takata recall the lights on my dash kept going in and out while i was driving and while stationary. while my car was off, with no key in the ignition, the gauges would make clicking sounds and bounce up and down about an 8th of an inch. the lights on the dash would stay off for days at a time, making it impossible for me to see how fast i was going or how much gas was in the car. sometimes the lights would click on for about 30 seconds and then the speedometer would be stuck at the last speed i was going at, for days, without showing anything on the digital speedometer. when i took it to get looked at, no codes were found. my car kept dying while i was driving, went and had my battery and alternator tested and they were 100% fine. car dash lights started flashing on and off while i was going around a curve. check engine, oil, wiper fluid, gas light, everything flashed on and off, then my steering locked up, causing me to go off of the road and hit a tree. my car was totaled.

While driving on the highway my car will just shut down completely then turn back on. sometime the radio will go out with power steering, etc. it just shuts down for no reason. we've replacement the battery cable several months ago as we had the exact same problem and it worked for about 6 months. if i use my turn signal sometimes it will shut down and turn back on. did it about 20 times today on the way to work. with my two small children in the car with me. i am usually driving around 65 to 75 mph when this happens.

Door locks engaging and disengaging randomly while driving, headlights turning off and on randomly while driving, car starting while parked in garage (no remote start). dealership replaced bcm, could not guarantee this fixed the problem. indicated they had never seen the issue before. within 2 weeks, all issues repeated themselves. returned to dealership. the dealership kept the car for 2 weeks and then called me and left a message to pick it up as they could not find the issue. when i called back, the dealership said "it was a good thing you haven't picked up the vehicle yet, it started on its own 3 times this morning". if i had picked this vehicle up, the issue would have happened again while i was at home. case has been filed with chevrolet customer car, and sufs (gm global safety). no action has been taken. no engineers have been sent down to look at the car from gm headquarters. after the car started on its own at the dealership, they changed out the ignition switch, but again, cannot guarantee the issues won't reoccur. car was returned to the dealership for a third time on may 2nd after the headlights turned on ...

The car will stall while pulling into traffic or at a red light or stop sign. after mmseveral stops it drains the battery completely. no problems when driving long distances on the interstate. very dangerous. l

While driving my 2013 chevy malibu on the highway & turnpike, i was driving approx 60-70 miles and hour and then out of nowhere the vehicle decreased speed down to 30 mph and also had me cause an accident with the drivers behind me. the check engine light then came on and a message "engine power has been reduced". i was able to pull the car over; however, this is a danger and should be resolved as still this continues to occur since i have contacted general motors and advised of the safety issue. still have not seen a recall on this issue yet which i was shocked. i asked the gentleman if there have been other complaints and he stated yes. so i am very shocked that this issue has not been resolved. my vehicle now is out of warranty and still mechanics do not know what is wrong and can not fix this issue. i do not feel that i have to pay for parts that this vehicle does not while they try to pinpoint the problem. literally the mechanic at day chevrolet during the diagnostic just said to ...

Multiple times while since i've had it it has reduced engine power ( stabiltrak) on me while driving. just recently check engine light came on with codes reading for camshaft actuators failing and pcm failing. the car chugs will driving and has even died while operating.

When driving my cars electric system will shut down. radio goes off then lights on the dash go crazy and steering wheel jerks real hard and loss of steering for a few seconds then it all comes back on.

While driving the vehicle the car powers down. the radio turns off, lights on dash goes out and power steering locks up. if driven over a speed bump or pothole all electrical componets power down. i was driving and put my signal on, the vehicle shutdown and steering wheel locked until it rebooted itsself. there is no difference on street, highway nor speed. when it looses power there is no way to alert the nearby drivers with hazard lights as everything has been shut off. on going matter, has been to dealer multiple times and different locations
