I was stopped, went to accelerate, and sudden hard shift as it accelerated. After a few miles, lost all gears after 2nd gear.on interstate at time when lost gears & close to getting into major accident. Took it to asc certified mechanic to learn that the transmission failed, wiring from battery to started burned up, battery failurem alternator failed, and ECM failed as well. Repair cost approx $4600. Service airbag light & check engine light on also & P0013 code. Looked up veh history, shows recalls on some of this were supposedly performed, but hard to believe. 6 speed transmission, so GM won't honor.

I dropped my 2010 Malibu ([xxx]) off at matick Chevy on 1/10/2020. I called 1/11/2020 and was told there was no charge and it was ready for pick up. That's all I was told. I didn't make it home before the same problem occurred: Service traction error light on the dash board and all 3 brake lights are on - when no one is pressing on the brake. The car is in the garage and all 3 brake lights are on - no one is in the vehicle...I'm driving down the highway and all 3 brake lights are on - I'm not braking. This is a serious safety concern. Today is 1/19/2020 and I still don't have my vehicle and have not received a call - despite leaving a message for the service [xxx], on 1/16/19. He advised that this vehicle is covered under a special warranty program or policy - 150,000 miles or the year 2025?. the vehicle is 10 years old - dealerships don't fix anything for free, so that "special program" is indicative of the company taking responsibility and knowing that you have a problem with this vehicle. I have owned GM products all my life and for the first time do not know if my loyalty to the manufacturer or brand will continue. I am very disappointed in the way this situation has been handled. The vehicle have been serviced for this same problem twice previously. The only saving grace is that I demanded a loaner. Please help.

My break lights are reversed or just don't work sometimes. Also my ESC and power steering lights keep coming on and my power steering goes out every 10-15 miles causing me to have to try and pull off the road to restart my car and reset it. After having almost been in 12 accidents due to this process and reading up on several others having the same issues I believe in full this needs looked into.

For about 3 days I have been starting my car and receiving a message saying power steering ESC we checked the fluids and their was power steering fluid in the car so I started it again and got the same message. I would have to start it at least 4 or 5 times for my car to reset and so I can drive it. I've never had this problem before yesterday while driving I lost control of my power steering on a main highway and my car cut completely off. I could of been dies and this is very dangerous I contacted the GM dealership and they spoke to me as if it wasn't a big deal which I feel this is a very deal considering my daughter could have been I. the car with me. I see all the recalls for the same thing happening but they pulled up mine and said their is no recall for my car. It makes no since and I need answers

The power steering control locks up the steering system. The brakes pulsates when stopping cause losing traction. ESC control is off. Making the vehicle not drive-able.

Both low beam headlights just quit working but the fuses are good and the headlights aren't a month old.

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.

Brake lights engage when brake petal is not engaged and do not light when brake pedal is pressed. Center brake light rarely works. Electrical system in car seems to be short circuited as lights on console blink. ESC continuously is turned off, engine light will not go off, low tire pressure indicated and it's a false read. Transmission had to be replaced right after warranty expired. Driver side window motor failed. All of this issues with exception of window have been happening from the time I purchased the car. I took it many times to dealer with no remedy

I have been to many forums and many Malibu owners are having the same issue I am with my car. A lot of money and many hours waisted on this issue. My right low beam head light keeps burning out. I changed the bulb, the entire headlight, and the wire harness, but the light keeps burning out. Annoying issue! to be able to reach the headlight, you need to take off the front bumper. There is no other way around it. I also have my brake lights that come on by themselves. I can be driving with my foot off of the break and in my rear view I can see my break lights lit up. Very unsafe. People think I am breaking when I am not. This is also an on going issues on Malibu's made in and around 2010. Please help!

Electronic stability control ESC light comes on and says service then ESC off. This is a safety issue with these cars. Seat belts fail. Safety issue. And our will not start because the anti theft system is activated for no reason. All of these are consistent with several other complaints. GM should be ashamed for selling vehicles that fail. Approximately 78,000 miles. Hopefully they will step up and correct these problems!!

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.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. While the accelerator pedal was depressed, the rpms increased; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate. There was also an abnormal noise detected from the vehicle and the speedometer was not displaying the correct speed. The contact also mentioned that the instrument panel lighting flashed on and off. The vehicle was taken to cardinal Buick GMC (3800 il-15, belleville, il 62226, (618) 233-0303) where the contact was informed that the electrical cluster needed to be replaced and no failure was found with the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.

Driving down the road my driver side tail light/brake light stops working randomly with bumpy roads. It goes out and will go back on usually within the next few bumps, and its not all the time.

We were driving and smelled a strong oder. Our eyes started to burn and we became nauseous and dizzy. When we arrived home we looked under the hood and saw a powerful gas seeping from the battery. I have a video of the gas coming from the adelco battery.
