Since buying this vehicle, I've had trouble with the brakes, airbag sensors, electrical problems, seatbelt issues and also the airbag light, had a mechanic replace the airbag sensors in the rear, but the light still comes on. The brakes are now shuttering worse when I apply the brakes and it feels like the wheels are going to fall apart.

For a long time now, a year, I've been getting the ESC warning every time I turn the steering wheel. It just a nuisance alarm. It shuts off the ESC. Now however every time I start the car lately and I'm getting the power steering warning, I move the wheel a little and it goes away. I'm afraid it's going to get worse and I'll start losing my power steering. GM won't do anything about it because they say the VIN number isn't part of the recall. I have a 2012 with the 2.4L. It has 73,000 miles on it. The recall if that's what it is (# 15356: Special coverage adjustment - loss of electric power steering assist - (Aug 28, 2015).

"power steering" message comes on randomly and the power steering goes dead while I'm driving. This seems to be a known issue with this Malibu and should be a recall. There are many complaints online about this issue. This has occurred multiple times. This is dangerous and should be a recall purchased vehicle in 2013 since than has happen close to 10 times.

At random I will be driving down any road and the power steering, traction control, ecs lights will come on and I will lose power steering. I have to pull over and completely stop and turn off ignition and wait a few minutes and turn back on and the problem is reset. This happens at random with no pattern.

2012 Malibu loses power steering and ESC light comes on. Very dangerous. Don't think 2012 Malibu is covered under recall 15356, but it should be. People will die... probably already have.

For about the last two weeks when I turn my car on a ESC power steering message has illuminated the dash. I have to turn my car off and back on several times to get the message to disappear. Tonight while driving the same message came on. I ended up having to pull over several times during my drive each time losing power steering! very scary and very unsafe. When I search my VIN number there are no recalls on it, I feel there needs to be before someone is hurt or killed in a accident.

Car would shimmy and shake. New tires new breaks etc. Made appoint. To fix recalls when power ster. Went out. Put new ps on and it didn't fix problem. Went back and forth to dealer. Had car diagnosed and service manager said there was a recall for so called GM, rep said they would fix and reinburse for the work already performed, gave a case number. Car sat a dealers weekend. Today GM rep said they would only pay 5% and denied other rep had said they'd fix. No power steering on car and it's dangerous to drive due to manufacturing defect and I'm expected to cover costs when I've already spent nearly 1000 on it and it's still not fixed. Please help

2 weeks ago my car was idling and started shaking and ESC notification came up and car cut off. Would not crank up until later. Today was driving in cvs parking lot and car accelerated on its own and I stepped on the break and then it started shaking and dinging and ESC lights came on again. Car kind of sounded like a lawn mower when it was shaking and jerking. Car would not crank again for a while.
