2014 Chevrolet Malibu Electronic Stability Control Esc Service Brakes Problems

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. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN STREET IN MY CITY GOING AROUND 45MPH WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE GM NEEDS TO BE LOOKING INTO FOR A RECALL.

STABILITRACK, ABS, AND BRAKING ASSIST DEACTIVATION AND OR REDUCTION IN FUNCTION CAUSED BY PREMATURE FAILURE OF WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. RESULTS IN LESS CONTROL OR LOSS OF CONTROL IN ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS OR UNDER HARD BRAKE APPLICATION OR EMERGENCY MANEUVERS. CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLITEN TO DIRECT THEIR DEALERS IN FIXING THIS BUT ONLY UNDER WARANTEE, SHOWING THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM YET TOOK NO ACTION TO ASSIST CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ABS AND CHECK ENGINE SENSOR INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN, THE VEHICLE WOULD SKID AND SLIDE BEFORE STOPPING, WHICH CAUSED THE STOPPING DISTANCE TO INCREASE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (ROD HATFIELD CHEVROLET IN LEXINGTON, KY) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. *LN UPDATED 7/25/18*JB

THE ABS LIGHT SHOWED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER WHEN I STARTED MY CAR TO LEAVE FOR WORK ON A MONDAY MORNING SO I TOOK MY CAR TO GREEN CHEVROLET IN DERIDDER LA. THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAID THE SENSOR WAS BAD SO THEY ORDERED ANOTHER. AFTER REPLACING IT THE LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF SO THEY SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO CHECK INTO THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A SENSOR AND WOULD BE CLOSE TO $ 400 TO REPLACE IT. I PAID $200 THE FIRST TIME. SO I CALLED GM TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL THAT WAS IN PLACE ON THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT WHILE THE RECALL WAS ACTIVE, IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY CAR BECAUSE IT CAME FROM A DIFFERENT PLANT. SO GM WORKED WITH THE REPAIR SHOP TO LOWER THE COST FOR THE SECOND REPAIR. I PAID $115. THAT AS IN FEBRUARY 2017. THE MECHANIC AT THE SERVICE CENTER SAID THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PART BEING REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE RECALLED. IN APRIL 2017 I WAS ON MY WAY TO MISSOURI FOR A FUNERAL AND MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD TO BRING MY CAR IN WHEN I RETURNED HOME. I CALLED GM AGAIN TO COMPLAIN THAT IT WAS ON AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK INTO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT A DIFFERENT WHEEL. AGAIN THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE RECALLED. SO NOW I HAVE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED AND PAY MORE MONEY. I AM WRITING TO ASK WHY THE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR ALL 2014 CHEVROLET MALIBUS. I AM PAYING FOR A PROBLEM THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON WHILE OTHERS OWNERS ARE NOT. MY CAR HAS 47,000 MILES . IT IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE. HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM? PLEASE EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES. OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT HAPPENING TO CARS FROM JUST ONE AREA. THANK YOU
