The brake lights come on at any given time even when you aren't pressing on the brake pedal. When you press on the brake pedal sometimes the brake lights do not come on at all. I have replaced wheel hub/bearing combos, along with adding electrical grease to the connector for the light controls, nothing fixes this issue.

The ESC light comes on and tells me it needs serviced. When this happens the brake lights stay on even if my foot is not on the brake. It also has a problem with the gear shift when trying to pull it out of park. This also disables my cruise control. This issue happens sometimes as soon as I start the car or after driving for a bit. I've taken the car in to get the problem fixed. They replaced the brake sensor and that worked for a week then the ESC light came back on and the brake lights stayed on.

Even after brake light recall from 2014, I continue to have problems with the brake lights illuminating when I'm not pressing the brake pedal, and turning off when I press the brake pedal. I've had this problem 'fixed' several times now, and it keeps happening. Most recently, in January 2019, and now 6 months later, it is happening again. While I'm driving (and not always while I'm braking), the service traction, service ESC, ESC off warnings come on my info display, as well as the traction control image. From that moment on, while I'm driving and not pressing the brake pedal, my brake lights are all illuminated. When I lightly press on the brake, the lights go off, unless I continue to press harder on the pedal, and then they'll come on again. This is such a hazard while I'm driving that I don't even want to go anywhere. Why does this keep happening? if this was supposedly fixed with the recall, it absolutely wasn't. I've seen other people report the same issue on the online forums, so I know I'm not alone with this problem. It is a major safety issue and needs to be fixed now! I will be going back to the dealer who did the repair in January to get this fixed again, but I don't understand why I should need to. It shouldn't continue to happen if it is really being fixed. Something else is wrong with this vehicle.

ESC, traction control lights come on. Then rear brake lights work opposite of standard brake light design. The rear brake lights come on while driving. When brake pedal is depressed, the brake lights turn off. This has been going on for two years now. The dealership just patches the repair. The repair only lasts a few weeks.

I purchased my Malibu from a friend who bought the car brand new. He told me they had the recall fixed. The problem came back last year, March of 2018, I called GM they said there wasn't a recall and that the recall had been fixed. I said maybe so but the problem is back. I was told the only thing I could do was to take it to a Chevy dealer and have them run diagnostics on it, which costs about $150 that I had to pay for. Why when we know what the problem is?! I took it to a shop, June 2018, where they changed the brake pedal switch, I still had the problem. I took it back to the shop where the poor guy worked on it for 3 hours, trying to figure it out. He finally just cleaned and re-greased the plug and it has been fine up until yesterday, May 10,2019, and my problem is back. Also, my third brake light works whenever it feels like it.

- Georgetown, IL, USA

On the highway going 65 mph, the engine shut off without warning but the battery/electronics were still on. I safely stopped the car on the side of the road. The check engine + ABS + traction control lights came on simultaneously. The car would not start. I finally had to call a tow company. No mechanic knows how to fix it. Upon further research, many owners of the same make model and model year range suffered similar situations. The car still won't start till now.

- Troy, AL, USA

Brake lamp recall for these models do not work. I noticed the issue recently while driving home from work at around 55 mph at night. My brake lights are on, while my foot is off of the brake pedal. When I place my foot on the brakes, the brake lights go off. This is a serious driving hazard. I've taken the car to get the recall handled, but noticed this morning, that my brake lights are still illuminating when my foot is off the brake pedal.

On March 1, 2017 at 28981 miles, the airbag light came on, (not the first time). The next day, the stability control and the ABS lights both also came on. In both occasions the car was moving at about 40 mph on a city street. I took it to the dealer, they charged me $153 to get a diagnosis.they wanted another $850 to have it fixed. I took it to another shop that did it for $190. These were 2 separate problems, one was the airbag light (a connection under the front passenger seat), and the other was a sensor in the left front wheel (the stability/ABS light).

While driving down the road, the cluster panel starts showing warning lights for the steering, service ESC, and the mil light was on, the car lost power, lost power steering and had no power, no matter what I did, the car would not respond. This putting my family and me in danger, we were driving on the idl in tulsa Oklahoma at rush hour, very, very busy road at that time of day. I have researched the problem, this is a very serious issue that will end up getting someone killed. The car is completely unstable, erratic and very hard to drive, you lose power (no acceleration) and power steering. The car has 142,000 miles on it, that seems to be when it happening to other vehicles also.
