While the vehicle is in motion, radio and other electrics go blank, steering wheel feels locked up but I assume it has lost power steering. This has happened multiple times. It corrects itself in few seconds but once nearly swerved into a car as the wheel would not turn.

I own 2013 Chevy Malibu with 98K miles on the car. My car started having electrical problems and my radio goes off and black, everything that is connected to my car disconnects, lf I'm about to stop my car looses control over steering, then power comes back and I gain control. I called GM and they told me to take it to the dealer and dealership said that my car isn't under warranty - even though they have been contacted by GM and given specific thing and code to look at. I have been told that my car's problem is low-voltage and to buy new battery or replace batteries related part (not sure). Today, I was driving on the highway and merging on another highway and I lost control over the steering while trying to merge (this was horrible experience for me and my friends who were with me on the car). I called GM again and told them that they need to do something about this fault. After careful drive on local street - the car went off while driving and my ac measure become celsius instead of Fahrenheit. I had to put the car on parking mode and use the keys again! this was horrible ordeal and needs to be addressed by GM and Chevy.

While driving on the highway and city streets my car electrical system cut completely off while engine is still running. It jerks the car to left or right and then cuts back mlm on. Can't steer until the power comes back on if I'm driving or parked. This has happened on several occasions. Check engine lights comes on then message of engine power reduced. Have been in service several times about check engine light coming on and still cant fix the problem. This is dangerous and afraid I will get in an accident soon. Something has to be done about this.

Steering ECU, instrument cluster, and center stack all reset while driving intermittently. These incidence have occurred numberous times and GM does not know the root cause. When an event occurs the driver looses power steering for a brief period of time. This has happened while making left hand turns, on the highway, and while stopped. GM released a technical service bulletin to check ground points on the negative battery cable this does not solve the problem and this is a serious safety concern. I have released production level software for numberous tier one suppliers that have gone into a variety of ecus. To me it seems like all of the body control modules have lost power. When checking car complaints this same behavior has been stated in over 40 reports and all reports state GM was unable to determine the cause. If an investigation has not been launched into this behavior I highly recommend it before the loss of power steering kills someone.

When I was on my way home, my car's warning lights started to flicker, and 'power steering service' and 'charging system' warning lights appeared. My entire dash went completely black and steering wheel became completely hard. The car stayed on, but all the lights went off. After a few seconds, the car shut off. Car would not restart, even with a jump. Mileage on car was at 110,000 miles. Luckily I was on a residential street, so I just pushed the car safely in front of a random house. Upon further examination, this appears to be an on going problem. I've found hundreds of other owners with a similar problem on various forums. Some are very similar to my problem, while others are more dangerous. Below, I have quoted other owners personal stories as well 'the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu.

Purchased car certified pre-owned. First winter entertainment display and warning lights started to flicker randomly, and car would not reliably start. Took to dealership and they were unable to recreate the symptoms. The following winter the entire electrical system began failing upon engaging it while in motion. For example: Using the the power windows, engagement of the traction control in slippery weather, using a turn signal, were all capable of shutting down all electrical options in the vehicle including the power steering. Nearly caused a couple accidents. The service stabiltrak light would also come intermittently come on. Brought to dealership again, they cleared the dash lights and reset a sensor that was showing bad in a diagnostic scan. Car ran smoothly for a few months. Showed symptoms again over the summer(lights flickering and loss of touch screen momentarily). Dealership was unable to recreate again. Now this winter the car is completely messed up again, same exact symptoms as last time. Power steering loss, full electrical loss while in motion, sometimes randomly, other times as a direct result of engaging with the electrical system as I described before. A aaa worker noticed the burning of electrical cable housing coming from the battery, I pointed this out to the dealership but they don't seem interested in it. Based on the consistent complaints about this vehicles electrical system, this car needs to be recalled and GM seriously investigated. They've already had to settle hundreds of death law suits due to this exact issues they claimed was a faulty ignition switch in the cobalt, yet this exact problem exists heavily in other models and the issue continues to be rampant in 'fixed' ignitions in the cobalts. This is a dangerous public health issue, GM needs to be held responsible

This is my second complaint considering this issue. Loss of power steering, radio goes black, gauge cluster goes black. Since my last complaint this has occurred no less than 15 times with two very close accidents. This is becoming a very dangerous vehicle. And I plead with you to open a recall thank you. It has now occurred on both city roads and highway speeds. It seems to get worse when the turn signal is used.
