I bought the car a year ago from a used car lot. Replaced the cam shaft positioning sensor as per diagnostic reading for check engine light. Since then, svc air bag light has stayed on. Traction control light stays on and is disengaged. When braking ESC warning goes on and off and sliding occurs. The low beam headlights go on and off intermittently and no way of knowing when it will happen. When turning cruise control on or off, the car will accelerate on its own and will increase speed until brake is applied. Regardless of whether cruise control was turned on or off. I have had it looked at at my local Mr.Tire and they cannot figure out what is happening.

I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu i bought it in 2014. I have had the Esc light come on in 2016 but no problem with it untill now of this year in 2022. Not knowing the problem i have already put ALOT into it. I took it to a machanic they told me it was the rack and pinion. So got that done . Apparently it wasn't it took it to another machanic they told me it was struts got that done too n still nothing so i looked it up online got CV joint, inner ,tie rod, wheel alignment. All those done n still nothing fix it. I didn't know what else to do until i made more scratch on my vehicle and i found that it could be a recall .

GM Tech Bulletins say there is a Ghost Problem with Elect. Stability Controller. GM mentions there is no recall or known cure for this. .Components/contacts were cleaned at service shop but " Serv. ESC-ESC OFF" keeps appearing in "driver display" when hitting bumps -turning car.. i will mail service sheets. This option was available on 08-09-10 models of Malibu but Std. on my 2012 car. It is worthless when there is thick snow.. I will send , by mail, serv. records on this unsolvable problem... It continues to happen ,at slow speed - not just one time...I believe YOU can read the G.M.-TSBs, as it was shown to me.... Consumer stated it showed a bad steering column multi switch & Yaw sensor unit , part still available.. Unit fires off bad code when barely moving and turning to right... Unit gets damp and works for a while. Turns out: Plastic Yaw coil in steering column broke up against the shaft, and the multi reed switch is probably bad, in there. The consumer stated after a new multi switch was installed, the bracket of the plastic broke again.

SERVICE BRAKES
I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO A CHEVROLET CENTER NEAR ME TO HAVE A 'MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY FIX' DONE TO MY VEHICLE ON 04/17/2021, AS THE POWER STEERING HAD FAILED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED FOR FREE. WHEN I TURNED MY VEHICLE ON AND NOTICED THE POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION ON MY DASH, I TRIED TO BACK MY CAR OUT OF WHERE I WAS PARKED AND MOVE MY WHEEL, BUT COULD NOT MOVE THE WHEEL. WHEN THE PART WAS REPLACED, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE STILL SENSORS ON MY DASH INDICATING THAT I NEEDED THE ESC AND STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SERVICED FOR MY CAR. ACCORDING TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, THIS HAD 'NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SPECIAL POLICY FIX' AND NOT SOMETHING THEY WOULD BE FIXING FOR ME. AFTER CHECKING THE NHTSA.GOV FOR ANY RECALLS ON MY 2012 CHEVY MALIBU, I FOUND ONE FROM MAY 2014 THAT DESCRIBED EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE: LOSS OF VEHICLE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL, CRUISE CONTROL AND RANDOM ILLUMINATION OF BRAKE LIGHTS. I CONTACTED CHEVY ONCE AGAIN ABOUT THIS RECALL, TO WHICH THEY SAID THERE 'WAS NO RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE, AND IF THERE WAS IT WAS ALREADY FIXED'. NOT ONLY WAS THIS COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND LACKING CONCERN OF SAFETY FOR MY CHILD AND I, I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO TURN TO FOR THIS TO BE REMEDIED. ATTACHED IS THE TICKET FOR THE INITIAL FIX I HAD DONE.

THE CAR HAD GM SERVICE BULLETIN 13036 (RECALL CAMPAIGN 14V252) PERFORMED ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2014 AND THE CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS AS DESCRIBED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN[1] SO THE "FIX" DIDN'T RESOLVE WHAT IS NOW AN ON GOING SAFETY ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED IN THE RECALL "WHY" SECTION TO OWNERS THE USE OF "...OVER TIME...". THEREFORE, THE ISSUE IS KNOWN TO BE TIME DEPENDENT AND THE FIX DOESN'T APPEAR TO FULLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE INTO THE FUTURE. 1: WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEING THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: - SERVICE BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE SERVICE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. - IF CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED, ADDITIONAL SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL MAY BE REQUIRED TO DISENGAGE IT. - TRACTION CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND PANIC BRAKING ASSIST FEATURES, IF EQUIPPED, MAY BE DISABLED. - SERVICE ESC AND/OR TRACTION CONTROL TELL-TALES MAY ILLUMINATE WITH THIS CONDITION.

BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION, DIFFICULTY MOVING THE GEAR SHIFTER OUT OF "PARK", ECS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS GOING ON-AND-OFF. THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES OCCURRING IN THE 2014 RECALL (WE HAD TO ABOUT 3 MONTHS TO GET INTO THE DEALER BACK THEN). BOTTOM LINE IS THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED, MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN RE-FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF MONEY AS THE RECALL IS NO LONGER VALID BECAUSE "THEY FIXED IT" ON NOVEMBER 28, 2014. WHEN WE CALLED GM (MAY 19, 2016), THE OPERATOR SAID SHE SHARED OUR FRUSTRATION BUT COULD ONLY SPEAK TO THE DEALER ABOUT IT. (AMAZINGLY, THE DEALER DID NOT RESPOND TO HER). IN READING FORUMS AND SPEAKING WITH THE GM OPERATOR, APPEARS THAT GM DOES NOT HAVE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE ISSUE. SO THE RECALL DID NOTING TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. IN THE MEANTIME, WE AWAIT A DECISION/CALL FROM THE DEALER/GM. THE GM OPERATOR DID OFFER A VOUCHER FOR SERVICE ANALYSIS FOR USE AT A DEALERSHIP - BUT NOT FOR A FIX. WE ARE LOOKING FOR RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO USE.
