I bought my first car from a small dealership and within the last 35 days the alternator, battery, shocks, fuel pump and now the engine light is on....when you are driving it seems like the car don't want to go into gear. And when it finally goes into gear it jerks you. Also the electrical and temperature gage, the lights on dash board go in and out you can hear a faint noise coming from the dome light. Temperature gage stayed at cold when driving the vehicle around. Took car for a ride the next day and right away when driving it went about a quarter above cold"?"

Passenger side low beam head light keeps going out ever other month

Got a 2011 Chevy Malibu from my father in law. Car only has 44500 miles on it. So of course it's out of warranty. Notice that the rear defroster was not working, so did some research online and found multiple accounts of people with same issue with melted fuses in fuse box in truck and fuse box melting also. Why is Chevy not telling people about or offering a fix or recall. It's a fire hazard.

My vehicle is experiencing all symptoms related to NHTSA campaign number: 14V252000 and there is no active recall for my VIN. That problem his causing high voltage which keeps causing electrical issues like burning cables to the headlights and not getting power to multiple interior equipment such as the ipc which stops working while driving and I am no longer able to my speed and other information. I also get a engine power reduced error from a bad connected from the app to the BCM, code P1238.

Low beam headlight socket melted on both sides not allowing low beam lights to work. Had to rewire a new wiring harness. I have read multiple accounts on line of the exact same thing happening. Until I diagnosed the problem I have had to only drive during daylight hours. Ridiculous!

Multiple front head light replacement in short period of time within 3 to 4 months replaced 3 times. Noticed warping of faceplate by audio equipment so had to replace that. Then came back from vacation and drove my car for about 20 minutes, parked I went inside store and my daughter was in the car when she said it jumped and then turned off. When I turned it on it said "engine power reduced" "service traction" "service ESC" I drove it to get home. Next morning it was fine to get to work short distance, on way home in hotter time of day (live in Arizona) it did it again. Only 20 miles an hour maxium and gulping gasoline. I was in my car with my 13 year old and it was dangerous as we were driving and all of a sudden we were reduced to 20 mph or less and were almost rear-ended various times, caught mid transition from yellow to red light while making left turn. Very scary. Mechanic drove it and said after only 10 to 20 minutes of driving it did the same thing. Mechanic he ran tests and found relay fuse box issue. Tried to order and was told it was on "national back-order" because this was the same problem many of my vehicle year make and model were experiencing. I had to get rental for 20 days which cost in excess of $500 and wait for part. Pay for parts $223 and labor. These expenses cause incredible financial hardship and stress.

The metal on side of seat broke causing the seat not to be able to adjust. Also, electrical problems lighter had shortage and speaker sounds increase and decrease with being adjusted, and the light for the tire pressure remain on even when the tires has sufficient air. I didn't notice an exact time the defect happen. I just notice the affects while driving.

The issue is concerning headlights on the Chevy Malibu. I have had to have the headlights replaced numerous times only to have them burn out within days/weeks. According to the mechanic the fault lies with the design. The light gets hot enough to burn out the harness. There is nothing that can be done except to continue to replace the bulb/harness which requires removal of the end front bumper which only adds to the expense. The internet is full of complaints of this issue. You never know when the light will go out which has caused us to be pulled over several times by the police and given warnings.

My headlights keep going off. I use to hit the front and it turns on but not anymore. Had it fixed 3 times within a year. No ac doesn't turn on when I start the car as well.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the ESC, the service traction control, and the engine reduced power warning lights illuminated. The vehicle also vibrated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed an electrical short in the wiring system, and replaced three different sensors. The technician also reprogrammed the engine control unit. The failures recurred. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 137,000.

My vehicle has approx. 91,500 miles. Upon starting the car recently, an error appeared saying "service traction" and "engine power reduced." The vehicle could not go above 35 mph and the traction control system was disabled. Upon inspection by the dealership, they discovered the sunroof drain tubes had shrunk and water had accumulated in the floorboard, eventually leading to corrosion. I have researched this issue and found several other drivers reporting issues with the drain tubes becoming disconnected and causing leaks. I have also found several instances where drivers lost engine power on the highway. If this were to happen, it could easily cause a crash.

Neither front door electric locks will unlock when car is stopped. Operator and passenger must physically turn around and unlock the door to get out of car. Everything electrical in the car (switches, radio, gauges, locks, windows) has malfunctioned at one point in time, even when the car had as low as 40,000 miles on it, but Chevrolet has never taken any responsibility for any of it.

I bought my 2011 Chevy Malibu in March of 2017. Only put 30K miles and it's April of 2020. My car won't crank up sometimes or when I'm idle, it'll start to shake and I haven't drove my car in a week but when I put the key in and try to turn it, nothing comes on. No lights or anything

The ESC lights, traction control lights and ABS lights are on. Took it to the dealership in January and they 'fixed' it by replacing the hub assembly. Worked ok for a month. Lights are back on as well as randomly while driving the speedometer, gas gauge, temp gauge, and RPM's will drop to 0 then back to normal and this will continue for the a whole trip. Then the next day or few days it will be fine then do it again. All the lights are on continuously.

I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu ltz with 44,589 miles and I have an issue with my screens reading that my ESC system is bad and will reduce my engine power, I took it in to airport Chevrolet in medford, Oregon and they pluged my car in and told me he has seen this issue countless times, and has seen people have to replace things as simple as a sensor all the way to it being an issue in the wiring harness and people will bring their car in and do the small repairs first ( economically makes sense) and it will not fix the problem.. until they fix this huge expensive issue all because. Chevy has an issue with a system they put into a car that doesn't work properly! I have read other reviews very similar to mine where people have been hit in traffic. Now luckily I caught mine before a wreck. This needs to be fixed!

I have gotten my low beam headlights changed on both sides twice, costing me $150 each time due to having to remove the bumper, and they keep going out!!! I work at night in an area heavily populated with deer, among other issues with just needing to have my headlights working regularly. I don't have money to keep replacing them! and I just got it in October.

My mother"S 2011 Chevy Malibu ltz has had a recurring problem concerning dash lights. It is quite common for us to be driving down the road and all of a sudden, there are no lights within the gauge panel or stereo face panel. Sometimes the lights will only dim, others they go out completely. On other occasions the lights don't come on at start-up and may turn on at some point, 10-15 minutes down the road. We've called the dealer the car was purchased from, starling Chevrolet-Cadillac to report these issues, only be told to bring the vehicle in "when it was happening", by the time we would get half way there, the problem stopped and the service writer says come back when it's happening. We've wondered if this could be related to the electrical issues for which Chevrolet sent out the extension of the warranty to 15 years or 120,000 miles. Another issue we've had relates to the older power steering recall. We've had the car in to starling Chevrolet twice that they have replaced the power steering pump. The problem I have concerns the un professional work of the mechanic who performed the service. While having tires replaced a couple of months after the power steering replacement, we were shown the way the starling Chevrolet mechanic had beat the devil out of the cars' under carriage. It's absolutely unforgivable for a Chevy dealer to cause this kind of damage while performing a recall service!!! finally, is the first problem we incurred with starling. During the original test drive, the dealer's salesman proceeded to toss a drive-out tag in the rear of the car during which they damaged the paint. My brother tried to stop the salesman from using this tag hanger when he saw the unguarded magnet hanger, but the dealer rep wouldn't listen. It tooky a month to get the paint fixed and only then after Mr. Starling got involved. The dealer changed hangers as a result!
