When driving the car the radio panel, air conditioning, control panel and power steering goes out. When driving over 45 mph on the highway, the engine will not stop. However, when driving 45 mph or below on city streets, the car will shut completely off and I will have to restart the car. Everything goes complete off. This has been an ongoing issue for several months now. The car has had this issue while in traffic and I was hit from behind. Fortunately, we were pulling off from a stop light and the impact was not enough to cause an injury. I have researched on youtube and online and there are several other consumers with this exact same issue. Also, the check engine light never comes on but it does say service power steering and service stabili trak. Sometimes when the car is not moving (parked) it will also cut off. Once, I went to start the car and it would not start and it would not allow me to remove the key. I tried making sure the car was in park (which I knew it was because it had been parked for hours) but nothing would move. I almost had it towed and then out the blue everything popped on. Chevrolet advised that they "think" it could be the battery cables and the fuse box but cannot guarantee that this will fix the issue. I have already paid $167 for them to "tighten" the cables and tell me what they "think" may be the issue. I also have video of the car while having this issue but it is not in the format allowed for upload. The last time it had this issue was today 07/28/2017.

Purchased this 2013 Malibu lt in August of 2016. After about a month, I started experiencing power failure and power steering loss while driving. On some occasions, the electrical issues and power failure is triggered by engaging the turn signal. Searched youtube and discovered that dozens of other 2013 Malibu owners are experiencing the exact same issue. The scary part of this issue is that the car stalls out completely without warning while driving at any given speed. And when this happens, the power steering goes out as well. This has happened about a dozen times since about a month after purchase August 2016; the last experience was on this past Friday, July 7, 2017.this is very dangerous as I have already experienced two near-miss accidents. I've read several posts of others who have spent money on diagnosis and repairs only to discover that the problem reoccurs. I don't have the money to waste on fruitless repairs as I'm still paying a note plus full coverage insurance on this vehicle. I don't know how many complaints that it will take for something to be done about this serious problem, but something needs to be done in a hurry.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. While stationary, the interior lighting system malfunctioned. The contact stated that the lights remained illuminated after the vehicle was locked. In addition, while driving 35 mph, the steering wheel seized and the vehicle stalled without warning. Furthermore, the battery lost power on more than one occasion, which caused the vehicle not to start. Hendricks Chevrolet of North Carolina diagnosed that the generator in the vehicle needed to be replaced. The repair was completed, but the dealer discovered that the generator control module was also faulty. In addition, the dealer stated that a repair was performed on the vehicle in 2012. The contact discovered product safety number: 12238, which provided coverage for the replacement of the generator; however, the manufacturer stated that it had expired. The failure mileage was 58,812.

The vehicle will not start. Everything is dead on the car, no power no interier lights, nothing. The dealer could not seem to find a problem. The car is out of warranty now and, it continues to have the problem.

I have a 13 Malibu ltz but as I'm driving the car completely shuts off and comes back on in the middle of me driving. I had it sent to a shop they diagnosed it but found nothing said the key was possibly a problem. I went to the dealership and got a new key so for a month or so the issue was fine. I started driving again and as I have my blinkers on I'm getting ready to turn and the car shuts off again.. I'm in 5pm traffic this is scary but as the car shut off the wheel lock it cuts right back on. I took it to the dealership and they said my battery since it wasn't changed in awhile so I have the battery replaced. The car was fine now two months later it did it all over again.. I'm getting ready to turn and again everything shuts off in the middle of driving then cuts back on. I'm very frustrated I pay a car note and insurance and I don't have money to get this problem fixed.. there are soooo many complaints I just wish it would be recalled and fixed. It's very dangerous when this car shuts off in the middle of driving when there are other cars around. I'm scared to drive it but it's my only car and I'm paying notes on it. If I had the money to trade it in I would!! this all happened on a city street when there's cars and traffic.. sometimes it happens when I'm driving but mostly every time when I'm turning. Everything shuts off the whole car it's scary.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that various warning indicators flashed on the instrument panel, including the air bag warning indicator. The dealer indicated that the vehicle would need to be diagnosed and there was no air bag recall to address the repair.

The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the contact was waiting on the diagnostic results. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Car bought from the dealership as used with 28K miles in Nov 2014. In March 2015, the steering wheel started to lock while turning. Meanwhile, the screen and the radio restarts. The locking of the steering wheel happens under different circumstances, including but not limit to when parking, cruising on the neighbourhood (speed below 30 mph), change lanes in highways (speed around 50 mph), and several times while the car was actually parked without motion. The car was brought to the dealership in April 2015 for the first time. In the following two years until last week (March 2017), the dealership replied "could not duplicate the issue" every single time. In the recent several times of me visiting the dealership about the same issue, they replaced the battery cables (with a charge for $750), and the fuse box (with a charge of $108), but still, the problem exists. The last visit to the dealer ends up with the routine reply of "can not duplicate" but they did admit that there is indeed an issue since I showed them a video I recorded when the issue happens. The locking of the steering wheel happens every single time when I tried to rotate the steering wheel (to make turning while driving or parking of course), but the issue is that it does not always happen. It only happens every now and then. That is why I am still driving it after two years since unfortunately, that is my only car. This is extremely dangerous since the locking of the steering wheel only locks while turning. It can cause accidents in the neighbourhood and a lethal accident on the highways. The GM offered me a coupon for some credit to be applied to my next purchase of a new GM car but I don't think that is a solution I can accept. I am attaching some of the service histories to support my statement. There are more but I can only upload 5.

- Spring Grove, VA, USA

While driving and going to change lanes, I turn on my turn signal to change lanes and the power steering stops working, the dash gauges flicker and the radio cuts out and sometimes the motor cuts off. This also occurs when sitting still, the steering wheel will bounce if turning one direction or the other. I have seen many of these complaints online and no resolution. This also happens while turning. This happens every day.

- Genoa, OH, USA

Turning left into my driveway, (luckily not going very fast) the power steering goes out several times in a row and then the screen prompted to "service power steering". checked fluid level and it was fine. Read that there are a lot of others with this same problem. My children could get hurt! and I paid too much money for this car to be unable to drive it and feel good about it! smh!!
