Driving down the city road at 55 mph, I heard three bells and on the dashboard it read "service ESC...service ESC...traction control off" the vehicle then simultaneously began to reduce engine power and the steering wheel locked and became unlocked within seconds. This caused swerving and a near accident. I see recalls for this issue but the VIN does not show an open recall for this issue.

At approximately 45,000-50,000 miles "service airbag" light would come on intermittently. Took into dealer, not covered by extended warranty because the seats were involved with the issue on some level. GM would not pay for the repair though the car was less than 2 years old. Dealer did something and light stopped coming on. Now at 85,000-90,000 miles the light is back on for days at a time. The light always comes on upon starting the vehicle.

A couple of months ago, I was driving. 10mph or lower and all of a sudden my cars ESC turned itself off. I had difficulty steering it and veered off the road. Thankfully I was able to regain control. I reported it to the dealer, and when my car went in for it's 3rd recall in 2 years, they looked at it. They told me they could not get the problem to duplicate. Then today, as I was parking in NY driveway, I started rolling my windows up when I noticed they were particullary slow. I put the car in park, turned my car off, but the key back in and tried to restart it, only to hear clicking and my steering wheel to be completely locked up. Alot of indicators came on, including the cars security indicator. My car is at 66K miles, but we do routine maintenance and it has never been involved in a car accident.

The blower motor resistance converter had gone out and it was determined by a mechanic that the wiring was burnt to a point that it could have caused the car to catch fire. I was also advised by the mechanic that there had been a recall for this specific problem but my vehicle identification number was not a part of the recall. This is unacceptable practice by General Motors as my life and the life of my family was in danger. Updated 10/07/15

We purchased a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu Sept. 2014 and it has been serviced 3 X due to the power steering locking up while driving and failure to start several times. The car would chime and the gauges would all drop to 0 and the engine light, power steering, low fuel and anti-theft light would all light up making the vehicle very difficult to maneuver.

Since September of 2014, the low beam headlights on my Malibu have repeatedly gone out. The latest two incidents in March 2015 (passenger side) and June 2015 (drivers side) have resulted in the socket burning out. There is a forum where many drivers have noted this same issue. I was told it sounds like there is an electrical issue with the harness and that it is a very serious issue and could lead to a very bad situation. I've called and complained to Chevy but they claim that they have no prior complaints which I find hard to believe. This is a very expensive issue because of how they have constructed the vehicle. Please force them to fix this issue.
