I NOTICED AN AIR BAG LIGHT THAT APPEARS ON THE CLUSTER OF MY 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU UPON STARTING THE CAR. IT'S NOT CLEAR WHY THIS AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON, SO I CONTACTED GM AND THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON IT. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE'S WARRANTY IS NO LONGER VALID SINCE IT IS MORE THAN 5 YEARS, BUT THE VEHICLE HAS VERY LOW MILES (ABOUT 22K) AND I BELIEVE GM SHOULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE DIAGNOSED SINCE IT IS SAFETY RELATED BUT THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR ANY SERVICES. I PLAN TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BUT I HAVE NO IDEA THE EXTENT OF HOW SERIOUS THE ISSUE IS, OR HOW MUCH IT WILL COST FOR THE REPAIRS

MY LOW BEAMS AND NOW HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. REPLACED THREE TIMES AND TWO ON THE OTHER SIDE. COSTS OVER 150 EACH TIME. DRIVING OR WHEN I GO TO START CAR IS WHEN THEY GO OUT AND ONLY ONCE AFTER HITTING BUMP IT CAME ON. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE REPORTING SAME PROBLEM ON CAR GURU. TYPE IN YOUR CAR MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR WITH HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS AND YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY DRIVERS ARE EFFECTED BY THIS AND HAVE TO KEEP PAYING. I ALSO GOT PULLED OVER 5 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS FOR HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS THE MAKER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I ALSO CAN GET RECORDS FROM DEALERSHIP OF ALL WORK PAID FOR.

ON TWO OCCASSIONS THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WENT COMPLETELY OUT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. SINCE I GOT THE CAR 2 YEARS AGO I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTING AMD ELECTRICAL. THE BRAKE LIGHT WORKS WHEN IT CHOOSES TO EVEN IF K DONE PUSH THE BRAKE AND WITH NEW BULBS IT MAY NOT WORK. THE HEADLIGHTS DO THE SAME. THEY COME ON AND GO OFF WHEN THEY CHOOSE TO. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS OVER 20 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS WHEN I DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO. MY SENSORS ALSO DON'T WORK WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I HAVE A FRONT LIGHT THAT WON'T GO OFF SO EACH TIME I CUT THE CAR OFF I HAVE TO UNPLUG MY BATTERY SO IT DOESN'T DIE. THE DATE POSTED ISNT THE ONLY DATE ITS HAPPENED IT WAS THE DAY IT ALL STARTED.
SERVICE ESC TRACTION ALERTS AND ENGINE SOUNDS AS THOUGHT IT WILL STALL - HAD MAP SENSOR REPLACED, A FEW MONTHS LATER ISSUE HAS RETURNED. OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED.
DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMPS GOING OUT. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS. NO AUTOMOBILE SHOULD GO THROUGH HEADLAMPS AT THAT RATE. TO COMPLICATE THIS ISSUE, THE ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER MUST BE REMOVED TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS. I'VE READ ON THE FORUMS WHERE MANY MALIBU OWNERS ARE HAVING THE EX…

DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMPS GOING OUT. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS. NO AUTOMOBILE SHOULD GO THROUGH HEADLAMPS AT THAT RATE. TO COMPLICATE THIS ISSUE, THE ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER MUST BE REMOVED TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS. I'VE READ ON THE FORUMS WHERE MANY MALIBU OWNERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE(S) WITH THE HEADLAMPS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND GM/CHEVROLET SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL WITH CORRECTIVE ACTION.
MY DIM HEADLIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT AND I KEPT HAVING TO CHANGE MY BULBS. TO COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS MY WIRING HARNESS AND I'VE HAD TO CHANGE IT TWICE. MY BRIGHT LIGHTS DO GOOD.

May 8, 2015
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured April 8, 2010, to October 11, 2012. In the affected vehicles, the flexible steel cables that connect the seat belts to the vehicle at the outside of the driver seat and the front passenger seat may be bent from being sat on while entering the vehicle. This repeated bending may result in the cable breaking.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the cable breaks, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the outboard lap anchor mounting bracket and inspect the flexible steel cable, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 16, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 15031.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will attach the wiring harness to the BCM with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the BCM and harness connector and the BAS and harness connector, and will relearn the brake pedal home position, free of charge. The manufacturer distributed an Interim letter to customers on July 14, 2014. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (Pontiac), 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn). GM's number for this recall is 13036.
