While driving my car days after I purchased it , suddenly the instrument panel lights started flashing on and off. This includes gas gauge, oil light, check engine soon , ABS, speedometer , dome light, radio,... Also showed on instrument panel an image of a car and a lock. Etc.. It flashed on and off for a while then completely went out. So I was unable to determine speed, how much gas was in the tank no inside light or radio.. The weather was below zero with a wind chill factor and I assumed it had something to do with that. After a few days everything came back except radio. An additional couple of days and radio came back . The car went in for inspection with in 10 days of purchase . Nothing was said, about electrical or instrument panel. Now on or about june 10th the same thing is happening more continuous flashing and electrical going out. It flashes when you start the car and continuously flashes while you drive sometimes just going blank for a while.. Thank you.

On the day of the incident I was traveling on the road with my two children in the vehicle. Suddenly the speedometer and gauges on the dashboard went down to zero while I was driving. The ABS,traction control, engine light, and security lock lights were lite up on the dashboard. The fuel gauge is not responding to the amount of fuel in tank. If ever I turn the car off it would not restart which meant my children and I would have been stuck in the middle of nowhere. Its been a headache trying to keep up with the amount of gas in my vehicle due to gauge not responding. The power steering light comes on the dashboard. Just everything is wrong with this model vehicle and it seems every week there's another recall that is added to the list. Its scary. Twelve to thirteen lives have been lost already over defaults of the chevy modeled vehicles. A very insecure and uncomfortable customer/family.

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet malibu. The contact stated that the brake lights remained illuminated and would shut off when the brake pedal was depressed. The dealer replaced the brake pedal sensor. The following day, the contact could not get shift out of park and the ABS braking system exhibited a noise when the brake pedal was depressed.
