Passenger side low beam fuse keeps blowing

- Nevada, OH, USA

One day I was on the highway with my kids and the power steering light came on and my wheel locked and it was very hard to turn it. It was very scary going 50 mph trying to get off a exit and not being able to turn my wheel. I needed just have to let my car sit because I cld not afford the cost to get it fixed and I didn't do anything to cause that I called Chevy gave them my VIN number and they said there wasn't a recall but I see ppl with Malibu's have the same issue. This cld have been deadly me and my 2 kids could have gotten severely hurt that's not okay that this happened

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the brake lights would illuminate. The contact stated that the traction control and ESC warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer. The brake pedal sensor was replaced however, the failure persisted. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 14V252000 (electrical system, exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, electronic stability control) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and the contact was still awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.

Third brake light sometimes works often does not work

It is the power steering and it shuts off no warning, locks steering wheel up I'm not strong enough to turn it when it does. The ESC light comes on and traction control goes off. It is triggered at times by cold weather but can cause an accident.

While traveling at 60 mph, lost power for a split second then regained. About 5 miles toward destination, at a traffic light I was attempting to make a right turn & when I accelerated, the car completely died with line of traffic behind me. Should this car have died in the midst of heavy rush hour traffic we could have caused a serious accident with a chain reaction of vehicles piling up behind me & possible injuries.. we were slowly creeping around the corner trying to catch a clear path to proceed when the car went dead. There have previously been problems when after driving for 30 minutes then returning to the car it would not start, cranked but not start with no warning lights present.. but after repeated restart attempts it would start maybe an hour later. But this time it died in traffic 3 days ago and we had to be towed home, it still will not start. I've read online about many other Malibu owners having similar problems with concerns of accidents. No engine or dash lights came on and a dealer could not get it to code. The unsafe problem is the car dying in the traffic with no warning in front of a long line of traffic.

I could smell a faint electrical smoke smell while the car was running, then the instrument panel quit working completely. I then also noticed the driver side seat also quit heating.

I had just left the gas station after filling up with gas I came to a stoplight and when I went to take off from a stop the car started sputtering and only going at very low power I turned the car around and noticed there was a tick in the steering wheel and it moved back and forth the steering became hard to turn as I lost my power steering then the car shut off when I started the car again it was still running at half power I managed to make it back to the house and upon restarting the car it was stuck in limp mode and was displaying power steering and electronic stability control lots on the dash after resetting the codes it runs properly but then kicks back into limp mode and loses steering ability of the electronic assist.

The headlights keep breaking. The right side more often. I see these Malibu's on the road all the time with a headlight out. It's expensive to replace and shouldn't happen as often as it does.

The power steering sensor stop's steering during driving and traction loss. This car is very dangerous and costly to repair. I pray nobody dies from this. I see many complaints about this from other owners.

The brake lights illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed. The brake lights fail to illuminate when the brake pedal is pushed. This has been an on going problem and we only realize it still exists when one of our family is following the 2010 Malibu in another car. We had brought the vehicle in to a Chevrolet service center in the past and were charged for a "repair". when we again noticed the problem we brought the vehicle into a Firestone service center and they charged us for a "repair". we just noticed the problem again and now are afraid to drive the vehicle. A search of the VIN shows no unrepaired recalls so we are not sure if the original owner had already brought it in (we are the second owner) or if this particular VIN was not thought to be affected. Regardless, it sounds like a known problem and we are hoping not to have to pay a third time and then still have an issue. Please let us know our options. Thank you in advance.

I was driving down a city street when all of a sudden I lost the ability to steer my escl came on. My wheels locked up.I just bought the car in August and have had nothing but problems with it and I'm now concerned as well about airbag safety I'm scared about how risky and dangerous this car really is Malibu is most recalled vehicles had I known ahead I would never have purchased this deadly weapon. I'm 22 a single mom who is responsible and now have a vehicle issue and a potential deadly one at that. Please do something it's not an error on my end I know that for fact. And of course there's no driving it at all. So please take time to take this matter serious god bless

I bought my car used from a buy here pay here and maybe a month or so after buying my car I started noticing different little quirks here and there with my car, like if it's wet outside my brake lights either do not work or it looks like I am riding my breaks, if it's wet out my car hesitants while driving, my check air bags light is on, the traction control signal is on, my steering arm makes a very weird noise sometimes the list goes on and when I decided to check and see if my car had any recalls on it, to my discovery there is at least 4 one just from 2019 and all sounds so very much like what my car has been doing for months. I am hoping to receive some information back on what to do next.

Low beam head lights keep going out, no matter how much I get them fixed. I can bang on the front end and sometimes they'll come on, but sometimes not. Tired if replacing and or fixing them, every few months! also my svc tire monitor light keeps coming on and say low tire pressure and my tires are not low......

- Swartz Creek, MI, USA

Both low beam headlights keeps going out I changed both harness 4 times and they keep coming on and going off. Also window brake light lights up when it wants to when I press the brake and both front door speakers keeps coming on and going off. Sometimes the switch on driver side door will lock/unlock doors and sometimes it want. At this point I don't know what the issue is that's causing this my mechanic thinks it's an electrical issue that's causing all of this. Also key fob stopped working so I changed the battery still didn't work took to see if maybe it needed to be reprogrammed but was told once again my car has some electrical issues.

While commuting to work from home on a main intersection a power reduction occurred causing the vehicle to lose power, speed, and the abilities to function normally close to work I parked in the nearest parking lot and scheduled a repair at a automotive shop... after inspecting it a mechanic replaced throttle body, gas pedal and air intake hose costing $860.. upon pickup about 5 minutes into driving a power reduction still occured upon reinspection and no codes in a diagnostic check my mechanic informed me he wasn't able to solve the problem...I than had the car towed to a local Chevy dealership who than ran a diagnostic check and did a few minor repairs and a cluster instrument coming out to $910..upon pickup from certified dealer a power reduction again reoccurring I had to pay a extra $100 to have it towed back to the dealer ship for repair for it being extremely dangerous to Transport it manually feeling the headache and the pain of costly repairs for a problem without a definite possible way of repairing I feel its a safety issue that has been over looked by GM Chevy now knowing the story of the power reducing in many GM vehicles I forsure would never recommend this auto maker.

Vehicle goes into power engine reduced mode/ESC off/ service traction control mode. The car loses speed and goes about 20 mph the RPM go crazy and car shakes violently. It has happened for the past 3 years and it happens while iddle, while driving it, while the ac is on or off it happens all the time. Ive replaced the throttle body twice, accelerator pedal 3 times, battery, map sensor, knock sensor, battery terminals, power train relay, spark plugs, cleaned all the corosion and its been at the Chevy dealer numerous times for this same issue and still the car is not fixed. Ive spent so much money and even Chevy cannot find whats wrong with this car. Its happened while on the highway, streets, while turning or stopped at a light. All my electrial dosent work. My passenger low beam light keeps blowing out and my speakers keep going in and out. There needs to be a recall on this car. This is just unacceptable and very dangerous.

My check engine, power steering, service ESC, ESC off, brake system (!), ABS system lights all flash, and all of my gauges fluctuate simultaneously. The same problem keeps occurring, and I have had my control computer nodule replaced, as well as my power steering module replaced at lynch Chevrolet in kenosha, wi. While driving my car shifts/jerks, and my steering wheel locks up, almost causing me to crash. When I come to a stop at a light or sign, my car does not want to accelerate, causing me to be in an intersection for longer than normal because my car won't take off. The vehicle also jerks into different gears while all of these service lights are flashing. This feels very dangerous to drive, and the problem cannot be resolved. It started in January and is continuing to happen despite replacing parts.

Dash lights: ESC off, service ESC light, brake system (!), ABS system, power steering, lights flash and all gauges fluctuate. I have replaced the main control module, as well as power steering module at dealership, and the problem still continues!!!! have read about other same models doing this same problem. It will come on, and then next time I start my vehicle, it stops. Then comes back on. Sometimes stays on for weeks. Or is gone for weeks.this has happened even with professional repairs. This happens when stationary and idling and while driving.

I have had to replace my passenger and drivers side headlights for the 5th time in the last 3 years. Just replaced the passenger headlight last week and exactly a week later, it is back out on the same side, 6th time. In the past, I've had both replaced when one blows out because of how you have access the headlights, the car repair shops charges me $180 and up. Imagine me having to doing this that much because it is mandatory to get repaired. I can not drive with one headlight or none. One blows and a few months later the other blows or the same. It is hard to tell exactly at what point it happens because at times you just don't know it is out until someone calls you or a kind driver let's you know. I found out this last time by pulling into my garage and seeing the dim glare on the front wall as I was pulling in. There are lots of others with this problem in the google search for a resolution. People have tried several options for repairs and no luck. This must be recalled. The 2010 Chevy Malibu design to repair the headlight makes it highly inconvenient for my pockets due to the cost of labor. Many shops have refused servicing me because of the amount of time it takes to get to the headlight by taking off the bumper and the number of screws to be removed etc. I have had to miss work, go in late or leave early to get my headlight/S replaced. Totally unacceptable and unlucky being an owner of this vehicle.
