The sunroof sunshade won't retract properly and the fabric hangs down so I can't see out my rear window from the rear view mirror. This happened while driving on the highway. I had to exit and park my car. The shade had issues closing however I was finally able to get it closed. Then a code came up with body control module / sunroof/sunshade actuator calibration not learned (symptom 4B) code: B369D. Also my parking brake engages without touching the button. It happens when I start my vehicle and the parking light on the dash is lit up. I have to disengage it. I will then hear my brakes rubbing on the rotors while driving and making my car vibrate while driving almost like the brakes are catching on a couple spots on the rotors.
Brought car to cook's brakes in portland, or because of rotational noises heard when braking. Mechanic confirmed the electronic parking brake piston actuation arm is not fully retracted causing the brake pads to stay partially engaged and prematurely damage the brake pads and rotors. The vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety systems (FMVSS) no. 135 'light vehicle brake systems'. there is a danger of excessive heat and fire.
I was driving on the highway at night and and my power steering and stabilitrak ABS indicators came on and the vehicle became very difficult to turn/handle with out warning.

When driving and while applying the breaks the breaks lock up and become hard there is also a air noise coming from breaks almost causing a collision on several occasions. When taking to the mechanic shop he stated it was a common problem and have has to work on the Chevy Malibu I feel there is a defect with the Chevy breaking system. Also the blinker automatically turns on this has been happening since I purchased the car.
The vehicle had water damage from 'clogged sunroof drains', which cause water to run all down the side and back panels causing an extensive amount of damage from one horrible design flaw. Some of the things effected was electrical company's such as electronic parking break was engaged and would not release cause the vehicle not to move! next was corrosion on several other inside wires having to do with steering and possibly air bags, but who knows if they will be effective until there is an accident and it's too late to find out if they are dmamged. Other safety features such as side detection was corroded so it too malfunctioned. There was a lot of other electrical things damaged but the car is in the shop and I don't know what else could be a huge safe concern. There is now so much mold which is dangerous to be breathing in if not totally replaced. There is an extensive amount of water in the spare tire wheel well that is causing rust and the inability to use this safety feature if needed! this became a horrible safety concern for myself and whomever my be traveling in my vehicle. Please do research into this because I could not believe this could happen to a car with only 70,000 miles! my car is in the shop so I cannot take any pictures of it! please help!
We I purchased the car they had changed the wheel bearings and since then I have had to take it back and have it serviced for the same thing several times. I changed out the hub assembly for the same problem and now just like before the traction control light is on and the ABS light. I don't know what else to do. I turned into our local walmart and the car just stopped and would not go.

While engine running and vehicle is stationary and/or in motion the brake lights flash intermittently. Brakes do not engage, but it does cause cruise control to disengage. Saw a recall for this, but my VIN not included.
While driving down the road the message center popped up the service power assist steering, and the ABS and stabilitrak were also deactivated. This all happened while driving down the highway at 55mph in a straight line.
I was driving and I pressed on the brakes the cars starts jerking and it felt and sounded like it was dragging something or scrapping the ground. The ABS light comes on and the stability light pops on. I'm out in the middle of the road doing a left or a right turn when this occurs and the car basically stalls for a minute and won't move then all of a sudden jerks really hard and starts moving again. This occurs on the city street and the highway when exiting or changing lanes.
It has a few different problems. The first being a trunk seal that was already recalled, yet my “fixed” seal wasn’T even fixed and my trunk is still taking on water when it rains. The other problem started a week ago. My ABS light came on while driving and the traction control light and neither will go off. Today while driving my car felt like it was losing power all of a sudden and a dinger went off and the brake assist light came on as well as 2 parking break lights. Both times the lights come on I was driving. None of the lights will go off, and now it’'s dinging for a minute or more just because of the warning light.
Breaks squeal constantly they are new pads and breaks can find any problems have taken it to several auto shops and dealerships and as about any recall issues it seems as if they are locked up I can not take it through a drive through car wash it will not go up on the rollers the back brakes are like they have locked or I have the emergency brake on and in reverse is when they are dragging this is the first complaint that I have found that is the same issue as mine I have called Chevrolet they never mentioned anything about complaints or issues
