“I have a 2014 malibu that has around 86000 and as I was driving the car all of a sudden started jerking and my power locks were going up and down continuously along with a message that says service power steering, drive with care. After I came to a stop, pulled over to tun off the ignition, my radio was still on even after I open the door with the keys out of the ingnition. I am extremely frustrated with this problem and I attached an image of the message. I really hope that GM has a resolution for this.”
NHTSA complaint #11014118, filed 2017-08, 85,980 miles“Within the last month and a half, my 2014 Chevrolet malibu has had the ABS and stabiltrak services lights come on twice. My vehicle is currently at 31,500 miles. Mid-february, I was driving 25 MPH down a side street to work, and the lights just popped on., I took my car into a Chevrolet dealer to have the lights looked at, and was told the ABS sensor reads a strip on the wheel bearing hub and that strip was chipped off. They had to replace the whole hub which is costly. It is now the beginning of april, and the light just came back on. …”
