2005 Chevrolet Malibu 4-DR.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx. The contact stated that while her husband was driving 55 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that her husband manually steered the vehicle and veered to the side of the road. The contact stated that her husband turned off and restarted the vehicle and the power steering functionality returned. The contact's husband continued to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the power steering control module, steering control module, and torque sensors needed to be replaced. The dealer also advised the contact that she would be responsible for the cost of the repair as an unknown recall had expired in 2014. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.

WHEN I'M DRIVING OFTEN..I TURN THE WHEEL AS NORMAL. INTERMITTENTLY I HEAR A DING NOISE COMING FROM MY CONSOLE, AND MY STEERING WHEEL STIFFENS AND I HAVE TO USE A LARGE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. I HAVE CALLED GM MANY TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS WITH THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THEY SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION. OVER 500 OR OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHAT GIVES GM?

ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING. THE DURATION OF THE FAILURE MIGHT BE SHORT PERIOD OR EXTENDED PERIOD. WHEN IT OCCURS AND IN A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS FROM YOUR HAND AND IS DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THE FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE HAS INCREASED AS WE NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED LESS THAN 10K MILES AGO AND GM IS NOT WARRANTING THEIR SAFETY RECALL WORK. RECALL WAS DONE IN 2014 W/ 147K MILES AND NOW HAVE 154K MILES.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY WHEN STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL REQUIRING AN EMENSE AMOUNT OF MUSCLE TO CONTROL. TO WHICH A MESSAGE CAME ON MY DISPLAY BOARD STATING POWER STEERING AND A BELL SOUNDED.

I LOST ALL POWER ASSIST IN MY STEERING WHEEL ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS SHOWING A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING BUT WHEN I CALLED CHEVROLET, THEY DIDN'T SEE IT.

MY STIRRING WHEEL MAKES NOISES SOMETIMES AND FEEL LIKE ITS GONNA BRAKE SOMETIMES. WHEN I GO OVER SPEED BUMPS CAR SQUEAKS LIKE FRONT TIRE IS GONNA COME OFF, ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAN GET RADIATOR FANS TO COME ON HAVE TO CUT AC ON IN ORDER FOR FANS TO WORK AC BEEN STOP WORKING HORN DON'T WORK I THOUGHT SUNROOF CAME UP AND MOST OF TIME TRUNK WONT OPEN AND WHEN IT DOES OPEN IT WONT CLOSE. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF MY STIRRING WHEEL LOCKED UP 4 TIMES ON ME ALREADY ABOUT DRIVE BUT I HAVE TO DRIVE FOR MY BUSINESS TO MAKE DELIVERS.

VEHICLE LOST POWERING STEERING AFTER MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY ROAD. ENDED UP HALF WAY IN THE ONCOMING LANE BEFORE I COULD GET IT UNDER CONTROL. GOOD THING NO OTHER CARS WERE IN THE WAY. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE HAD OTHER INCIDENCES WHEN THE POWER STEERING GLITCHES OFF AND ON WHILE I'M TURNING INTO PARKING SPOTS. AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR, BRAND NEW, I HAD TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR STEERING ISSUES BUT THEY DIDNT FIND ANY ISSUES AT THAT TIME AND I WAS DISMISSED, NOW IT'S OBVIOUS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THESE CARS. THIS IS A HAZARD AND IS TERRIFYING WHEN IT HAPPENS.

STARTED MY CAR UP TO AROUND 2:00 TO GO MY LUNCH BREAK. POWERING STEERING WAS IN MY RADIO DASH. AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON IT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BUT HAS CUTOFF CONSISTENTLY WHEN I AM DRIVING REVERTING BACK TO MANUAL STEERING WHICH IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WITH LOW SPEEDS AND DANGEROUS IT PUTS EVERYBODY AT RISK IF IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY.

IT LOSES THE POWER STEERING AT TIMES, AFTER IS TURNED ON. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS OFTEN.

ONE MONTH AGO WE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY SON'S 2005 CHEVY MALIBU HAD A RECALL THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. THERE WERE THREE THAT WERE IN NEED OF SERVICE WHEN WE MADE THE APPOINTMENT. UPON ARRIVING FOR AN 830AM APPOINTMENT MY SON WAS PREPARED TO WAIT BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS A SIMPLE REPAIR. AROUND 4PM HE WAS GIVEN A RENTAL AND TOLD THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE CAR WAS DONE. ONE WEEK LATER HE RECEIVED A CALL TO COME IN. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS DONE BUT NOW THE CAR WAS UNDRIVABLE. AT THIS POINT SOMEONE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO SIT HIM DOWN WITH A SALES ASSOCIATE. HE'S A NINE-TEEN YEAR OLD COLLEGE STUDENT WITH A PART TIME JOB. THEY PROCEEDED TO FILL OUT THE APPLICATION AND RUN HIS CREDIT REPORT BEFORE I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL. THE SALES ASSOCIATE ASSURED HIM THAT IF I CO-SIGNED FOR HIS LOAN, THEY COULD GET A BETTER INTEREST RATE AND CHEAPER MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON THE 72-MONTH LOAN. THIS PROCESS WAS HALTED IMMEDIATELY ONCE THAT CALL WAS MADE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, I EXPLAINED TO THE SALES ASSOCIATE THAT I WAS NOT WILLING TO HAVE A COLLEGE STUDENT WITH A SIX-YEAR LOAN FOR A TWENTY-THOUSAND-DOLLAR VEHICLE. SHE IMMEDIATELY WENT AND GOT THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO EXPLAINED TO ME THAT AFTER PERFORMING THE RECALL THE CAR WAS NOW UNABLE TO STEER. HE SAID THAT THEY COULD INVEST ADDITIONAL MONEY IN TRYING TO FIX IT BUT THAT HE DIDN'T THINK THE CAR WAS SAFE AND HE WOULDN'T LET HIS FAMILY MEMBER DRIVE IT. HE WENT SO FAR AS SAYING EVEN IF HE COULD FIND THE PART, HE DOUBTS IT WOULD WORK. THEY OFFERED A FIVE-HUNDRED-DOLLAR TRADE IN VALUE IF WE BOUGHT A CAR FROM THEM. I WAS TOLD IF WE DID NOT BUY A CAR FROM THEM THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THEY HAD DONE ALL THAT THEY COULD DO, AND WE WERE LUCKY THEY GAVE THE RENTAL FOR A WEEK AND THAT A RENTAL IS NOT PART OF A RECALL SERVICE. MY SON WAS OUT OF A CAR AND THAT WAS THAT ACCORDING TO THEM.

STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING SLIGHTLY IN AUGUST. NOW IT SHAKES AND THEN POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS ANYWHERE GOING ANY SPEED. AS SOON AS THE CAR STARTS THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, OF YOU TURN THE WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION IT WILL CLAM IT A LITTLE. BREAK LIGHTS RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. REPLACED BREAK LIGHTS 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. HEADLIGHTS MELT THE PLASTIC HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2017. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT ON MY VIN.

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH MY SCHOOL CAMPUS PARKING LOT. NOTHING NEW. I MADE A SHARP TURN ONTO A DIFFERENT AISLE. MID TURN, MY STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I SLAMMED ON MY BREAK TO AVOID CRASHING. AFTER THAT, I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND THE WHEEL CONTINUED TO JERK. LUCKILY I WASN'T FAR FROM MY PARKING SPOT. THE NEXT DAY (TODAY), I WENT TO CHECK IT OUT. BUT AFTER STARTING THE CAR, ALL SEEMED FINE. I DROVE IT AROUND THE CAMPUS A BIT WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE ISSUES. SO THEN I DECIDED TO RUN SOME ERRANDS. LESS THAN TWO MILES AWAY THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH STARTED TO GO CRAZY. ALL THE LIGHTS WERE TAKING TURNS FLASHING AND BEEPING (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, ETC). THEN THE STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE I WAS ON THE MAIN ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO MANHANDLE THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO GET IT INTO A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK HOME, BUT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. I FOUND SOME PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. AND ALL OF THEM SAID IT WAS RESOLVED AFTER FILING AT THE NHTSA.

MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP LIGHT (TURN SIGNAL) ASSEMBLY KEEPS BURNING OUT AND MELTING THE BULB HOUSING AND ORANGE LENS. IT BURNED A HOLE IN THE ORANGE TURN SIGNAL LENS. I REPLACE BULB AFTER BULB BUT IT KEEPS FAILING. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE NO CAR OWNER SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING BULBS CONSTANTLY ONLY FOR THEM TO FAIL OVER AND OVER AGAIN! THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY, MOVING, ETC..

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY MALIBU LS V6 IN JUNE 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS A 1 OWNER CAR WITH 44,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS IN PRISTINE CONDITION DRIVEN BY AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN WHO HAD RECENTLY PASSED AWAY. I PURCHASED FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, SHE ALERTED US TO AN INTERMITTENT TWITCHING OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH CAUSES IT TO SHAKE AND AS A RESULT MAKES THE VEHICLE A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. NOW, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAYS THE POWER STEERING ALERT ON HER RADIO AND IS DOING THE TWITCHING THING MORE OFTEN. I CONTACTED CHEVY WHO, OF COURSE, INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE POWER STEERING BUT THIS VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CAR NOW HAS 52,700 MILES ON IT AND THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH THIS IS HAPPENING IS A BIG CAUSE FOR CONCERN. CHEVY DID SEND ME AN EMAIL WHICH PROVIDES $100 TOWARD SERVICE AT A DEALERSHIP, WHICH TELLS ME THAT THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER CHOOSE NOT TO ADDRESS IT UNTIL THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC THIS WEEK BUT AS I SAID THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND TO GET THE FAILURE TO APPEAR TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. FOR A VEHICLE TO HAVE A FAILURE, SUCH AS THIS, WITH SUCH A LOW MILEAGE IS A VERY BAD CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE ENTRUSTED THIS COMPANY WITH THEIR SAFETY.

STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND BEEPED. A RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN OCT 2014 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM RECALLS 14116 AND 13036 BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ITS BACK. CALLED GM AND THEY SENT ME TO A DEALER RODGER DEAN AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A STEERING COLUMN. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, AN 18 WHEELER TRUCK TAPPED THE REAR OF HER VEHICLE. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT, NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED, NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED, AND THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED. THE CONTACT HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER (CECIL ATKISSION MOTORS - KERRVILLE CHEVROLET, CADILLAC AND BUICK 550 BENSON DR, KERRVILLE, TX 78028 (866) 240-2964) WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

THEN THERE WAS A VERY LOUD "BANG", AND THE STEERING WHEEL JUST, FREEWHEELED, WITH LOUD "CLICKS" AS IT TURNED. THERE WAS NO STEERING IN EITHER DIRECTION. LUCKILY, I WASN'T AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT APPEARS THAT THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT ON THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE. THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM FROM 2014. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NOV. 2018. THE LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL EXPIRED IN 2017. A RECALL EXPIRED??? AND A STEERING COLUMN BROKE??? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED MY GM, WITHOUT AN EXPIRATION. NOT TO MENTION, ARE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IDENTICAL TO THE PART THEY REPLACE? OR HAS THE DEFECT BEEN RE-ENGINEERED TO NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. REPORTS I'VE NOW READ CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, STATE THAT THE SAME CONDITION RE-OCCURS IN LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A "WEAR AND TEAR" ITEM. THIS IS A GM ENGINEERING DEFECT AND MUST BE ADDRESSED BY GM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MALIBU MAXX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE TURN SIGNALS MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE.

THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TO BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE ASSEMBLIES ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WARNING MESSAGE IS PRESENTED IN CARS MESSAGE BOARD STATING IMPENDING POWER STEERING FAILURE. PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WAS DATED MAR 2014. CAR IS STILL SHOWING THE SAME SIGNS AS BEFORE THE RECALL. RECALL ISSUE DESCRIBED BELOW: IF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, GREATER DRIVER EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM

AT FIRST MY POWER STEERING WARNING COME ON AND THE WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN I COULD TAKE THE KEY OUT AND LET IT SET A BIT AND THE NEXT TIME I STARTED IT NO ISSUES, THEN IT STARTED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BOUNCING HORRIBLE WHEN I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT DRIVING THERE'S A TERRIBLE GRINDING IN THE STEERING THAT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME AND LOCKS UP WHILE IN PARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE STEERING LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

TURNING LEFT OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO A ROAD THE STEERING FROZE. I HAD TO STOP AND BACK UP TO RELEASE THE STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 OR 3 TIMES BOTH RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. THE STEERING COLUMN IS MAKING A NOISE AND I BELIEVE IT IS THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. MAYPLOE CHEV REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN.

WHY IS MY STEERING KEEP COMING ON AND LOCKING UP WHY I HAVE TO GET IT FIX TWICE IN2 YEARS

GM RECALLED SEVERAL VEHICLES FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING AND ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST IN 2014. ACCORDING TO THE GM NEWSBRIEF, "IF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, A MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AND A CHIME SOUND TO INFORM THE DRIVER. STEERING CONTROL CAN BE MAINTAINED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL REVERT TO MANUAL STEERING, BUT GREATER DRIVER EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH." CHIPMAN & TAYLOR, A CERTIFIED GM DEALER AND SERVICE REPAIR SHOP, HAS INDICATED THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED UNITS ARE FAILING IN MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THEY INDICATED THAT THE 2005 CHEVY MALIBU MAXX LS WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE FULL REPAIR AND ONLY REPLACED A SINGULAR PART WHICH DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE THAT THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE VIA THEIR RECALL PROCEDURE. IT IS BOTH IRRESPONSIBLE AND REPREHENSIBLE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, MADE A STATEMENT REGARDING THEIR INTENT TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY FAILED TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THEIR PROMISES TO CONSUMERS. THIS TYPE OF NEGLIGENCE PUTS EVERY PERSON ON THE ROAD AT RISK. 'WITH THESE SAFETY RECALLS AND LIFETIME WARRANTIES, WE ARE GOING AFTER EVERY CAR THAT MIGHT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT RIGHT. WE HAVE RECALLED SOME OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON OTHERS, BUT WE DID NOT DO ENOUGH.' THEIR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THEIR PROMISE IS AN ATROCITY OF MONUMENTAL PROPORTIONS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. 612,203 VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL AND GM HAS THE AUDACITY TO ALLOW CITIZENS TO BE PLACED IN GRAVE DANGER DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. IF THE VEHICLE WAS TOO HOT, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START AND THE GEAR SHIFT DID NOT MOVE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

THE CAR IS HARD TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK, THE BREAK LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN PRESSED.

I STARTED TO HAVE A ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST A FEW DAYS AGO. THE CAR HAD A WEIRD NOISE ON THE STEERING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE ON ITS OWN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ON. IT WAS NOT UNTIL YESTERDAY THAT THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AS I WAS DRIVING. STEERING BECAME HEAVY. IT WAS VERY DIFICULT TO PERFORM SHARP TURNS. THERE WAS A MESSAGE AND A CHIME UPON THE STEERING GETTING STIFF. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE THAT WHEN USING THE VIN CODE NO RECALLS COME UP SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT PERFORM THE SERVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,327.

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WEAK BRAKE PEDAL AND PRESSURE

ABS CONTROL SYSTEM MODULE WEAK BRAKE PEDAL

STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. DRIVER INFO PANEL DISPLAYED POWER STEERING. I TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WAS NORMAL AGAIN. BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND STOPPED TWITCHES BACK AND FORTH. THE POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS. THE TWITCHING IS CONSTANTS AS LONG AS CAR IS STARTED OR KEY TURNED TO SUPPLY POWER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS - WHY IS THIS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD? FIRST THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT AT NO CHARGE - THEN THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD BE $750 TO FIX IT.

POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS ONLY WORKING ONCE IN A WHILE IT WAS RECALLED BEFORE AND I HAD IT FIXED NOW IT'S DOING THE SAME THING

EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) WENT OUT RANDOMLY WHILE STOPPED AT A GAS STATION. STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO TWITCH AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT. CAR WAS STATIONARY, STARTED, PLACED IN REVERSE AND MOVED FROM A PARKING SPOT TO A GAS PUMP. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, THE EPS WAS OUT. AFTER CYCLING POWER A FEW TIMES, THE EPS COMES BACK. ONCE YOU TURN OFF THE CAR IT GOES BACK TO NOT WORKING. MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WERE ALL A PART OF A RECALL FOR THE EPS, BUT GM STATES IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN. NO DEALER WILL ATTEMPT TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING ITS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS ALREADY RECALLED FOR OTHER VINS OF THE SAME MAKE YEAR AND MODEL. SEE GM BULLETIN 14116 AND DCS3206

I TURNED MY CAR ON AND THE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE MESSAGE ON MY CAR READ POWER STEERING. I COULDN'T TURN MY WHEEL AT ALL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND IT WENT AWAY. A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A LOCAL HIGHWAY THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING. IT SEEMS TO BE LOCKED UP

OUT OF NOWHERE STARTED MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. DRIVER INFO PANEL DISPLAYED POWER STEERING. I TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WAS NORMAL AGAIN. BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND STOPPED TWITCHES BACK AND FORTH. THE POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS. THE TWITCHING IS CONSTANTS AS LONG AS CAR IS STARTED OR KEY TURNED TO SUPPLY POWER. I DONE A RECALL SEARCH VIA VIN AND IT RETURNED NO RECALLS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES REPORTED. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE DRIVING AND THOSE AROUND WHEN IT FAILS.

I HAVE A 2005 MALIBU - THAT IS A MONEY PIT- THIER IS A WIRING IGNITION PROBLEM - MY CAR IS AN INTERMITTENT STARTER - I'VE CHANGED FUSES- ALTERNATOR - FUEL PUMP- BEEN TOLD THIS AND THAT - I'M A SINGLE FEMALE - AND CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE - IT STOPS WHEN EVER IT WANTS TO - IN ORDER HE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD - OR GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE AAA HAS RETIRED MY TOWING - I'M ONLINE READING AND EVERYBODY HAS WENT THROUGH MY HE SAME - I CALLED LAST WEEK BEFORE HAVING MY CAR TOWED AGAIN - TO SEE IF THIER HAS BEEN A RECALL AND I HEARD NO- I HAD IT TOWED - SPENT 320 DOLLARS BEING TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AFTER GOING THROUGH 2 BATTERIES - FOR THE SAME THING - I JUST GOT MY CAR BACK - WENT OUT TO GET SOME COFFEE - COME OUT AND THE CAR WON'T START AGAIN - WOULD SOMEONE CALL ME ABOUT THIS - 214 755 -3606

WHILE STATIONARY, STEERING WHEEL IN VEHICLE TWITCHES BACK AND FORTH WHILE MAKING A MECHANICAL GRINDING SOUND. WHILE IN MOTION, VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING RESULTING IN DIFFICULT TURNING BOTH TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT WHILE AT LOW AND MODERATE SPEEDS.

STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY. STEERING WHEEL IS TWITCHING SLIGHTLY . SOMETIMES, WHILE DRIVING, THE ALERT BELL GOES OFF AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS PROBLEM WILL PERSIST ON AND OFF. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET, THEY STATED THE RECALL THEY HAD IS OVER.

THE POWER STEERING WOULD STOP WORKING PERIODICALLY, MOST OFTEN UPON STARTING OF THE CAR BUT IT FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ONE TIME. THE MECHANIC READ IT AS A C0545 CODE, STEERING WHEEL TORQUE INPUT SENSOR. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS ISSUE IS WELL KNOW, AND IT APPEARS SOME VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR WERE COVERED UNDER A RECALL, BUT MY PARTICULAR ONE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE.

MY POWER STEERING IS CONSTANTLY GOING OUT ON MY CAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS CITY STREETS AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL WORK AGAIN. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I'VE BARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES MOST RECENTLY IT HAS FAILED 3 TIMES IN 2 HOURS HOLE DRIVING NORMALLY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST YEAR BUT INCIDENTS OF FAILURE HAVE INCREASED SINCE REACHING 156000 MILES ON MY CAR. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A RECAL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL AND YET I'VE BEEN TOLD THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY CAR ISN'T COVERED

WHEN I AM DRIVING, HIGHWAY OR LOCAL, MY ENGINE WILL STUTTER AND SHUT DOWN, OR JUST QUIETLY SHUT DOWN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT IS HAPPENING A LOT. I HAVE FOUND MYSELF FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC DURING SOME OF THESE STALLS. SOMETIMES I CAN GET IT TO RESTART SND OTHER TIMES I CANNOT. ALSO. I AM HAVING TROUBLE GET GAS INTO THE TANK WHEN FUELING. I HEAR AIR ESCAPING AND THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF. LOCAL MECHANICS DO NOT WANT TO TACKLE THAT ISSUE. THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM SAYS SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED, AS-IS, THAT THE PROBLEM IS ON ME. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T WANT ME IRE ANYONE TO BECOME A FATALITY BECAUSE OF THIS. WHAT CAN BE DONE?

MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMING MOMENTARILY FROZEN IN PLACE RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL,UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THIS OCCURS A AUDIBLE CHIME IS HEARD COMING FROM THE DASH. THIS OCCURS AT BOTH LOW SPEEDS WHILE TURNING AND AT HIGH SPEED WHILE ON HIWAYS MAKING LANE CHANGES. OFTEN THIS IS ACCOCIATED WHILE UNDER ACCELERATION WHILE MAKING A TURN AT LOW SPEEDS, LANE CHANGES AT HIWAY SPEEDS AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS IS NOT THE TORQUE SOMETIMES FELT IN THE STEERING FROM FRONT WHEEL DRIVE ACCELERATION BUT A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL DUE TO THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMING LOCKED IN PLACE LEAVING THE DRIVER UNABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT'S LIKE THE POWER ASSIST IS TURNED OFF FOR A BRIEF SECOND MOMENTARILY RESULTING IN HARD STEERING BEFORE COMPLETELY BECOMING UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL AS IF IT'S FROZEN IN PLACE. WHEN THIS OCCURS AN AUDIBLE CHIME IS HEARD ALERTING THE DRIVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. VERY UNSAFE. THERE IS A GM RECALL # N140115 RECALL BULLETIN # 14116 AND NHTSA RECALL # 14V-153 COVERING MY YEAR VEHICLE FOR THIS CAR BUT AM TOLD IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN ?

THIS OCCURRED ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO SKID. AT THAT POINT I RELEASED THE BRAKE, AND WAS FORCED TO PUMP THEM IN ORDER TO SLOW VEHICLE. PARK-BRAKE FEATURE ALSO MALFUNCTIONS RANDOMLY. THESE ARE ALL DUE TO VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS IN BODY CONTROL MODULE CONNECTION, REQUIRING A SPACER TO BE INSTALLED.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTINUES TO SHORT OUT EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE SOCKET ASSEMBLY.

WELL AFTER A DAY OF NO ISSUES I WAS DRIVING WENT TO PARK AND I PUT MY CAR INTO PARK THE CAR DIED AND REVERSED A LITTLE BIT. IT NOW WON'T TURN OVER AND WON'T MAKE ANY NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. I TRIED JUMPING IT BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK AND I TRIED TO SEE IF MAYBE THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM SHUT IT OFF BUT IT'S NOT THAT EITHER. WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION IT SAYS IT'S STILL IN REVERSE AND WHEN I MOVE THE SHIFTER IT DOESN'T REGISTER ON THE DASHBOARD. SO MY CAR STILL THINKS I'M IN REVERSE.

I TOOK THEM MY CAR AND THEY WERE GOING TO FIX THE RECALLS THE STEERING SHAFT INADEQUATE SUPPORT OF U JOINT TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE STEERING LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A COUPLE DAYS BUT WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT SEEMED LIKE NOTHING WAS FIXED I TOOK IT BACK 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THE SAME RECALLS THE LAST TIME I PICKED UP MY CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN I CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN SO I DID THEY HAD IT FOR ANOTHER DAY I WENT BACK GOT IT AND DROVE STRAIGHT HOME LATER THAT DAY I NEEDED TO GO GET MY DAUGHTER SOME DIAPERS I GOT IN THE CAR STARTED IT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON THE GUY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I GOT UPSET CALLED THE MAIN CHEVROLET COMPANY MADE A COMPLAINT NOTHING WAS RESOLVED. WELL RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY INFANT AND TODDLER IN THE CAR GOING 35MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL FELT LIKE IT LOCKED UP TOOK IT TO THEM ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE RECALLS AGAIN AND THEY REFUSED THEY SAID ONCE THE RECALL HAS BEEN CLOSED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. SO I HAVE RARELY BEEN DRIVING MY CAR IT DID THE SAME THING ON 07/22/18 THE STEERING WAS GONE MY CAR WAS STILL RUNNING NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON I STOPPED PUT IT IN LARK TURNED IT OFF WAITED 10 MINS STARTED IT AND HAD NO POWER STEERING I TRIED TO DRIVE IT HOME AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS UNTIL YESTERDAY AND NOW THE CAR SHAKES VERY BADLY LIKE A (DEATH WOBBLE) NO MATTER WHAT SPEED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END IS GOING TO COME RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. I CAN'TPAYTOFIXIT

THE FRONT TURNING SIGNALS HAVE NOT WORKED FOR 2 YEARS I HAVE HAD THE HEAD LIGHTS COMPLETELY REPLACE TWICE. THE SECOND TIME I HAD THEM REPLACED WHEN THE LIGHT HOUSING OF THE TURN SIGNALS WERE OPENED THE LIGHT BULB AND HOOK UPS WERE MELTED TOGETHER.

I CAN'T USE POWER STEERING FLUID IN MY CAR BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S ELECTRICAL. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY APARTMENT BUILDING AND I CAME UP TO A RED LIGHT UP THE ROAD TO TURN LEFT. I STOPPED AT THE LIGHT FOR A MINUTE, AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I CONTINUED AN THATS WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. I COULDN'T BARELY TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND ITS HARD AN THATS WHEN "POWER STEERING" POPPED UP ON MY DASH. MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AND ITS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM MY JOB.

THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INCLUDED IN AN UNKNOWN RECALL THAT WAS CLOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND EVEN IN IDLE THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES WILL LOCK. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE MAKING TURNS, GOING AROUND ROUNDABOUTS, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND ON A REGULAR 15 MIN. WORK COMMUTE. THE CAR WILL BEEP AS IF THE TRUNK IS OPEN. THE BEEPING IS RIGHT BEFORE THE STIFFNESS OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND TURN THE IGNITION BACK ON IN ORDER TO PROCEED IN DRIVING. IF YOU'RE IN MOTION IT'S BEST TO PULL OVER DUE TO THE ENGINE SOMETIMES LAG WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR BACK UP. ONCE IT IS STARTING, IT DRIVES JUST FINE. I'VE SEEN TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM IN REGARDS TO THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. IT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF OUR STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND WE'RE UNABLE TO JUST PULL OVER TO SAFETY. SINCE OUR CAR IS MOSTLY ELECTRICAL IT'S NOT AS IF WE COULD JUST CHECK THE STEERING FLUID. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY.

2 YEARS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER REGARDING STEERING WHEEL MALFUNCTION I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS REPLACED, LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE ISSUES CONTINUED TO OCCUR. I'VE CALLED CAMELBACK CHEVROLET MULTIPLE TIMES AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR THE GENERAL MANAGER WITH NO RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE DUE TO THIS RECALL.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WILL BECOME EXTREMELY HARD TO OPERATE HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL DURING NORMAL OPERATION OR TURNING SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE TURNING AND OTHER ABNORMAL STEERING RELATED CONCERNS

STARTING AROUND TWO YEARS AGO, FUEL GAUGE AFTER FILLING TANK AND THEN STARTING CAR WOULD FALL TO EMPTY ALONG WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT COMING ON. WHEN RESTART CAR WAS OKAY. SO, DID NOT FILL TANK ANYMORE, ALLEVIATED PROBLEM FOR A YEAR. IN PAST YEAR GOT WORST, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON UNTIL USING UP UNTIL AT LEAST 2 GALLONS WAS USED WHEN GASOLINE WAS ADDED. THEN ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. AS TIME WENT ON, FUEL GAUGE ACTING UP MORE, NEVER READING ACCURATELY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN CAR. IN LAST MONTH, NO MATTER HOW MUCH OR LITTLE FUEL IS ADDED, READS FULL FOR A LONG TIME, THEN GAUGE DROPS SUDDENLY TO EMPTY AND LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. HAD CHECKED, INDICATES THE FUEL SENSOR IS ENTIRELY NOT WORKING NOW /OR FUEL PUMP MAY NOT WORK SOON. SO EVERY 100 MILES, GUESS HOW MUCH FUEL TO ADD. NOT KNOWING, COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ANYTIME, AND CAR SHUT DOWN. COULD NOT LIVE WITH CONDITION ANYMORE. SO, HAVE THE COMBINED FUEL SENOR/FUEL PUMP REPLACED. MY OPINION, THIS SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD RESULT IN GENERAL MOTORS ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND REIMBURSING ANY OWNER WITH SAME PROBLEM; SHOULD THEY HAD THE PROBLEM REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY.

ALERT SYSTEM DINGS THREE TIMES, POWER STEERING ISSUE INDICATOR COMES ON, POWER STEERING IS COMPLETELY OUT WHILE DRIVING. CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH THERE WERE TWO RECALLS FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR THIS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS STYLE.

BACKING UP IN PARKING LOT, TURNING, CAR HAD HARD TIME TURNING, TURNED OTHER WAY AND IT FELT LIKE IT JERKED, ( SKIPPED A FEW TEETH) NOW STEERING OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND WON'T STEER VERY GOOD. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO SONS HOUSE.

IN 2014 CHEVY ISSUED A RECALL ON THEIR MOTOR TORQUE SENSORS IN REGARD TO THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. WE PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO THE LOCAL CHEVY SERVICE CENTER AND HAD THE REPLACEMENT PUT IN. IN THE PAST MONTH THE SENSOR HAS GONE OUT AND THE POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS AS THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP LOOKED IT OVER AND STATED THAT THE MOTOR TORQUE SENSOR NEEDED REPLACED WHICH WAS FIXED BACK IN 2014 UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE. GM WAS CONTACTED AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT HAS COME FORTH 4 YEARS LATER MAKING IT SEEM AS IF GM TRULY FIXED THE PROBLEM. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A CONTINUED PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND GM NEEDS TO REMEDY THE THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING AND A WARNING SIGNAL SOUND CAME ON AND THE "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE SCREEN THEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I WAS ON ON ON THE HIGHWAY SO THAT WAS THE SCARY PART. I STARTED TO GO HOME BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS NOT SAFE. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND MAKE NOISES WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK AND MOVE AND CONTINUE TO RATTLE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT WAS OKAY. I STARTED TO DRIVE AND AGAIN THE SIGNAL SOUND AND THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON AND IT WENT OUT WHILE I WAS TURNING WHICH WAS A SCARY MOMENT BECAUSE AN ACCIDENT WOULD'VE HAPPENED HAD ANOTHER CAR BEEN IN THE WAY. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND I WAS WORRIED ABOUT AN ACCIDENT HAPPENING. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND DID SO. WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY A SENSOR. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND THAT WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR. I CALLED THE GM/CHEVY CONSUMER LINE AND THEY RECOMMENDED IT TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND STATED THE RECALL HAD BEEN FIXED. LOCAL CHEVY DEALER CALLS TO TELL ME THAT THERE IS A "BULLETIN" AND THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,100. THE STEERING COLUMN IS LISTED ON THE PREVIOUS RECALL BUT THEY ONLY REPLACED A SENSOR. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT MILLIONS OF CARS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING PUT OUT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS DANGEROUS.

MY STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN AT STARTUP, LIKE IT IS MANUAL OR METAL ON METAL FEEL LIKE THERE IS NO LUBRICATION. IT IS SURELY NOT SAFE TO EVEN BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY LET ALONE DRIVE IT. I LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS NO STEERING FLUID BUT LEARNED THERE IS NO SUCH THING ON THIS MAKE/MODEL BUT THAT IT USES ELECTRICAL STEERING ASSIST INSTEAD. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB REGARDING STEERING ASSIST ON THIS MODEL AND I KNOW MY LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL AND HAD WORKED ON THE STEERING AND REPLACED SOMETHING THERE AT SOME POINT BECAUSE OF THE RECALL YET MY VIN SEARCH SHOW NOTHING ON THIS SITE.

SINCE 2010, WITH CAR ONLY BEING 5 YEARS OLD, THE KEY BEGAN HARDLY WORKING IN THE IGNITION. WE HAD TO KEEP JIGGLING AND RE-TRYING UNTIL WOULD WORK. THE RECALL ONLY COVERED NOTIFYING OWNERS NOT TO PUT EXTRA KEYS ON THEIR KEY CHAIN BUT WOULD NOT COVER THE FACT THAT THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER WAS FAULTY. CONTINUED TO LIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM, THEN THE THEFT DETERRANT LIGHT STARTED GOING ON BECAUSE OF THE NECESSARY JIGGLING -- WHERE THE CAR WON'T START AND YOU HAVE TO TURN TO ACC AND WAIT 10 MINUTES. ONCE AGAIN, DEALER REFUSED TO COVER. STATIONARY PROBLEM, BUT FOR MY ELDERLY FATHER, NOT GOOD FOR THE KEY NOT TO WORK FOR A WHILE, OR WILL NOT START FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM BEING ACTIVIATED

HEADLIGHTS AND FRONT BLINKERS QUIT WORKING. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THENERGY-SAVING LIGHTS THE CONNECTORS WERE MELTED AND WIRES WERE EXPOSED. THE ORANGE LENSE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS MELTED AND IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE FIXTURE AND IS LYING INSIDE THE LIGHT INCLOSURE. THE LIGHTS AND BLINKERS QUIT WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO HAVE THE LIGHTS ON FOR FEAR OF POSSIBLE FIRST HAZARD. THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AROUND THE END 2016

AS I WAS DRIVING UP THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 50 MPH, WITH MY THREE KIDS INSIDE, MY 2005 MALIBU LS JUST DECIDES TO START LOSING SPEED (I USED HAZARD LIGHTS) AND JUST GRADUALLY STOPS!! A NEIGHBOR HELPED ME GET MY CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND TO OUR APARTMENTS. I TRIED ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER TO START MY CAR .IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE BATTERY OR THE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE ALL THE ELECTRICAL LIGHTS IN THE CAR STILL CAME ON AND THE GAS NEEDLE MOVED WHEN MY KEY WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION. HOWEVER MY CAR DID NOT EVEN CRANK. IT STILL DOESN'T WANT TO START. I LIVE OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS AND I OWN MY CAR BUT THIS RANDOM INCIDENT CAN CAUSE ME TO LOSE MY JOB AND APARTMENT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND HAD NO PRIOR PROBLEMS. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ALONG WITH MY KIDS THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. THERE IS RECALL #11E009000 NOT SURE IF IT IS WHY THIS CAR ALMOST KILLED US BUT GM DEFINITELY OWES AN EXPLANATION FOR THESE FAULTY KILLER CARS ON THE ROAD.

THESE ARE THE PHOTOS TAKE OF THE FUEL PUMP AFTER IT WAS REMOVED BY MATHIS AUTO SERVICE (SEE THE ATTACHED INVOICE). AS YOU CAN SEE THE TAG HAS ONLY A SMALL PART OF A BAR CODE, I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THIS WAS THE PART NUMBER OR NOT, BUT IT SEEM THERE WAS NO NUMBER. THE TOP OF THE PUMP WAS VERY DIRTY AND WET FROM GASOLINE. I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACE AFTER I WAS TRANSPORTING A CLIENT AND THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AND LOST POWER FROM 45-MILES-PER HOUR TO ABOUT 10-MILES PER HOUR, BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS SCARED THE CLIENT AND LEAD THEM TO REPORT TO LYFT ABOUT THE INCIDENT. I ALSO REPORTED THE ISSUE TO LYFT RIDE SHARE AND THEY SHUT DOWN MY VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS BY DEACTIVATING MY ACCOUNT. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO COMPLETE 4 RECALLS, WHICH DID NOT CLEAR UP THE PROBLEM. OR CORRECT THE FUEL PUMP FROM SEIZING UP AND STALLING OUT. I PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART OF A NEW FUEL PUMP AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WORKING PROPERLY. AND MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN REACTIVATED WITH LYFT. I SPOKE TO TI AUTOMOTIVE CEO, ABOUT THEIR RECALL ON THEIR FUEL PUMP SEIZE, STOPPING THE FUEL FLOW TO THE ENGINE CREATING A STALLING CONDITION. I WAS TOLD THESE ISSUE WAS ONLY IN 2010 MODELS AND THEY WILL NOT REPAIR OR ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECTS IN EARLIER MODELS OF CHEVY MALIBU. BUT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH OTHER YEARS MODELS STALLING OUT IN TRAFFIC.

IN BETWEEN FILL-UPS, GAS GAUGE "STICKS": TO SOME ARBITRARY INTERMEDIATE VALUE. IT NEVER DISPLAYS ACCURATE FUEL-REMAINING. I MUST USED THE ODOMETER MILEAGE TO KNOW WHEN TO GET GAS.

I ALMOST A VEHICLE WITH CHILDREN IN IT, BUT LUCKY THEY WERE ABLE TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD AND MISS ME. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE HAVING MULTIPLE CARS AT A COMPLETE STOP, BLOWING THEIR HORNS AT ME. I WAS VERY SCARED, EVEN MORE WHEN THIS ANGRY MOTHER, WHO I ALMOST RAN INTO, STARTED YELLING AT ME. I THEN REALIZE I COULD HAVE KILLED THOSE PEOPLE, MYSELF AND IN ANY OTHER SITUATION ON A DAILY BASIS, MY SONS LIFE AS WELL. AFTER THAT HAPPENED MOMENTS LATER, MY CAR BECAME MANAGEABLE TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL AND THE PROBLEM HAS PERSIST MORE THAN I WOULD LIKE AND NOW I HAVE FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM BACK IN 2011. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIX OTHER RECALLS BUT NOT THAT ONE. THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM BACK IN 2011 AND THAT I WAS TOO LATE TO GET THAT RECALL FIX. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SINCE I HAVE YET TO FIND A MECHANIC THAT WOULD WANT TO TOUCH THAT PROBLEM SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL DONE ON IT AND TO FIX IT, IT WOULD COST A LOT AND THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE ME THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIX. THEY HAVE ADVICE ME TO GO TO THE CHEVY COMPANY SINCE THE DEALER SHIP COULDN'T HELP ME AND IT'S A COMPANY MALFUNCTION.

NO POWER STEERING. ITS LIKE THERE IS NO STEERING AT ALL. HARD TO TURN.

LEFT FRONT POWER SEAT WELDS BROKE. RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRAME BOTH FRONT AND REAR. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY

I WAS PARKING MY VEHICLE. I HAD PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE TO BACK UP AND THE GEARS JUST STARTED TO SLIDE UP AND DOWN. THE GEARS WOULD NOT CATCH AT ALL, THEY JUST STARTED SLIDING. IT STAYED IN REVERSE. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP MOVING BACKWARD, SO I HAD TO PUT ON MY EMERGENCY BREAK! I WAS VERY SHUCK UP. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND ALARMING WHEN YOUR GEARS GO OUT. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE. I WILL NOT DRIVE A CAR THAT STAYS STUCK IN REVERSE. WHAT IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT FOR ME AND OTHER SAFE DRIVERS. PLEASE FIX THIS DEFECT!!!!!!!! WHO WILL TELL MY STORY IF I AM DEAD!!!!

MY 2005 MALIBU IS EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST, AND A RELATED "JERKING" IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH STOPS WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. SOMETIMES THE POWER STEERING IS OUT WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED, BUT OTHER TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN DURING A TURN OR ON A CURVE, IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DIDN'T OWN THE CAR AT THE TIME, BUT IT WAS SERVICED UNDER THE MARCH 2014 RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM IN NOVEMBER 2017. BECAUSE OF THIS, AND BECAUSE THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER, GM IS UNWILLING TO GIVE FURTHER ASSISTANCE FOR THIS DANGEROUS FAULT.

NOTICED A FUEL SMELL COMING FROM BACK OF 2005 MAILBU MAXX, NOTHING LEAKING FOR 3 DAYS, THEN NOTICED FUEL ON THE GROUND, WAS HAVING ISSUE STARTING (FUEL LINE NOT PRESSURIZED) TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE CRANKING WORKED TO PRESSURIZE THE LINE. AT THE SHOP NOW, THEY SAID IT A NON-REPAIRABLE FUEL LINE COMING OFF OF THE PUMP, GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SENDING UNIT AND IT IS GOING TO COST ME OUT THE WAHZOO TO REPAIR, HOW IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS? I SPOKE WITH GM RECALL LINE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN OF MY CAR.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT AFTER HAVING IT RECALLED IN OCT 2104. OBVIOUSLY THE RECALL DIDN'T FIX THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS IN PARK AND WE WERE NOT DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE RECALL HAPPENED WHEN MY MILEAGE WAS ROUGHLY 147,000 AND NOW WE HAVE ROUGHLY 183,00, WHICH WAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES.

POWER STEERING LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY CHIMES ON. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN LOSS OF STEERING BUT LIGHT HAS BEEN CHIMING ON MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY, ALMOST DAILY. WHEN TAKING IT IN, LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON SO THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. BECOMING MORE FREQUENT EVERY DAY, DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM GOING, COMES ON ON HIGHWAY OR DRIVING THROUGH TOWN.

REPLACED CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND SOLENOID AS WELL AS GAS CAP TWICE. 2006 AND 2012. DEALER SERVICE NO WARRANTY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL DOES NOT STAY OFF. SCARES YOU WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW IF CAR WILL STOP OR GET YOU HOME. COULD CAUSE PROBLEM IF THERE IS LEAK OR MECHANICAL ISSUE. #2 SEAT BELT LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF EVERY 3 TO 5 MILES. DEALER CAN'T FIND ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REMEDIED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,259.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IT FEELS LIKE MY BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP THEY START VIBRATING IF I GO OVER 40 AND THE LEFT CALIPER IS REALLY HOT AND IT'LL HAVE PROBLEMS GETTING UP TO SPEED

POWER STEERING STARTED FAILING. USUALLY IT WOULD COME BACK IF I RESTARTED THE CAR. TODAY IT HAS FAILED AND NOT RETURNED. USUALLY SEEMED TO FAIL WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE CAR, BUT LATER IT SEEMED LIKE IT FAILED AS I DROVE THE CAR.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BROKE LOOSE FROM THE RIGHT SIDE AND WOBBLES AND IN MY OPINION IS CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING.

DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY MOUNT IS BROKEN. APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE SEAT TILTS TO THE RIGHT. IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS NO WAY THE SEAT WOULD REMAIN IN THE CAR. THE FACTORY WELDS HAVE BROKEN.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STEERING WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND YOU ONLY HAVE MANUAL STEERING WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE AND ULTIMATELY REQUIRING YOU TO STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY VEERED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOST ALL POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A POWER STEERING RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 191,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING MADE A CLICKING NOISE AND PULLED TO THE LEFT. THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHILE IDLING AT A STOP SIGN, THE STEERING WHEEL BOUNCED AND MADE A CLICKING NOISE. ONCE THE CONTACT RESUMED DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL PULLED TO THE LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

STEERING WHEEL MOVES ON OWN, KNOCKING NOISE AND NOW POWER STEERING GONE.

I GOT IN MY CAR SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND INSTEAD IT WENT REVERSE INSTEAD OF FORWARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000(STEERING). THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,000.

THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE BURNING OUT THE SOCKET AS WELL AS THE LIGHT COVERING. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BULB IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY MONTH.

POWER STEERING COLUMN AND MOTOR WENT OUT AFTER HAVING THIS RECALL CORRECTED. IT IS NOW OUT AGAIN, JUST 2 WEEKS OVER A YEAR AFTER HAVING IT CORRECTED AND GM WILL NOT PAY TO FIX IT. THIS CREATES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. ALSO, THE BRAKE LAMPS CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION WHICH WERE ALSO CORRECTED BY A RECALL ISSUE BUT CONTINUE TO GO BAD. *TR

STEERING BEGAN SHAKING AND WITHIN A WEEK IT HAS GONE OUT, SEVERAL RECALLS ON THE SAME YEAR CAR AND DEALERSHIP WONT DO ANYTHING. POWER STEERING EVEN MOVES THE WHEEL WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WILL ALMOST BE IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. *TR

THE SUB CARRIAGE, AND BODY MOUNTS RUSTED AND CRACKED , WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE OTHER SIDE CRACKED WHEN I GOT THERE, THE DEALER STATED TO ME ON THE PHONE THAT THE CAR SEPARATED FROM THE CAR, . IT DID NOT SOUND RIGHT TO ME, ALL I DID WAS DRIVE TO MY MAIL BOX AND HEARD A NOISE, AND IT WAS PLACED UP AND I SAY THE BAD RUST, AND CRACK UNDER THE CAR TO THE SUB CARRIAGE, SO I WAS TOLD TO GO TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND THAT IS WHAT I DID. I GOT SCARED, I AM DISABLED. IT HAS BEEN AT JACK PHALAN CHEVY SINCE 1/23/2017 IN LYONS. UPDATED 03/15/17*LJ *CN

THE AMBER PLASTIC HOUSINGS ENCLOSING THE TURN-SIGNAL/DRL BULBS IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE ARE MELTING, APPARENTLY DUE TO THE BULBS GETTING TOO HOT. THE MELTING PLASTIC HAS DRIPPED DOWN ONTO THE BULBS AND THE FUMES FROM THE MELTING PLASTIC HAVE FOGGED UP PART OF THE HEADLIGHT LENS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES AND BULBS ARE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, SO THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN DEFECT. I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHER 2005 MALIBUS IN VARIOUS INTERNET FORUMS, AND GM IS APPARENTLY NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR RANDOMLY FLASHED AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOOSELY SWAYED LEFT AND RIGHT EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNAL BULBS CONTINUALLY BURN OUT. THEY GET SO HOT THAT BOTH FRONT ORANGE BULB COVERS HAVE HOLES BURNT IN THEM AND THE SOCKET HAS DISCOLORED BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. THIS BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2005 BUT DID NOT NOTICE THE HOLES UNTIL RECENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE PART NEEDED TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR REQUIRED ANOTHER PART TO BE REPLACED, WHICH WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE VEHICLE HAS A RECALL THAT IS OPEN ON IT. CHEVROLET AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAVE TOLD US THAT IT WILL COST $300 TO COMPLETE THE RECALL DUE TO THE STEERING KNUCKLE NEEDING TO BE REMOVED AND IT IS SEIZED. THEY SAID IF IT WASN'T SEIZED IT WOULDN'T COST US ANYTHING. HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP STATED TO DO THE RECALL IT IS REQUIRED THAT THE STEERING KNUCKLE HAS TO BE TAKEN APART.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 10 MPH WHEN SEAT WELD ON RIGHT SIDE BROKE AND DETACHED FROM RAIL. THERE'S NOW NOTHING HOLDING THE SEAT IN PLACE ON THAT SIDE SO IT WOBBLES UP AND DOWN AND SIDE TO SIDE.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THE FRONT WHEELS START TO WOBBLE AND SHAKE..AFTER A WHILE OF DRIVING THE BRAKES SEEM TO START BRAKING AND SLOWING DOWN THE CAR ON ITS OWN..ALSO YOU CAN SMELL A BURNT OR RUBBER SMELL FROM THE WHEELS ARE BRAKES ALL OCCURS AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR, VERY NERVE WRECKING. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE BROKE IN MY CAR, THE RECALL COVERED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CABLE.. BUT THE KEY IS STUCK IN MY CAR EVERY SINCE THIS INCIDENT OF THE CABLE.. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY, JUST WITHIN MINUTES OF GETTING OF THE INTERSTATE. I PULLED INTO STORE PARKING LOT. THE CABLE BROKE, THE KEY WAS STUCK. I HAD TO BE TOWED HOME.

WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY SORT OF PATTERN TO IT, THE ANTI-THEFT PASSLOCK SYSTEM ON MY 2005 MALIBU RANDOMLY IS TRIGGERED AND PREVENTS MY CAR ENGINE FROM STARTING UP, LEAVING ME STRANDED. I MUST PERFORM 10-MINUTE RESET PROCEDURE WITH KEY IN ON POSITION. HAS LEFT ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS MANY TIMES. HAPPENS EVERY 3-4 TIMES I START THE CAR - NO WAY TO PREDICT IT. MECHANICS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG. I HAVE NO OTHER KEYS OR HEAVY ITEMS ON MY KEY RING. SOMETIMES CAR STARTS FINE, OTHER TIMES IT WON'T. STARTED IN 2013 AND BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF EVER SINCE.

FUEL GAGE DOESN'T WORK CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD IN TRAFFIC

HAD M Y CAR IN FOR RECALL WORK NOW IT SHOWS REDUCED ENGINE POWER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND DIES I REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND NO CHANGE STILL DOES IT NOW IT IS THROWING A CODE OF P0826

WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN, THERE WAS NO ABILITY TO TURN THE CAR. THE CAR DROVE ONTO A SIDEWALK. THE CAR WOULD NOT STEER. TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT TURN THE WHEELS. THERE WAS A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. I'M AFRAID OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY OR IF THERE WERE PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALK.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN A STRAIGHT STRETCH ON SATURDAY, STEERING COMPLETELY BROKE. STEERING WHEEL CAN SPIN AROUND AND AROUND AND SEEMS TO NOT BE ATTACHED TO ANYTHING. NO WARNING AT ALL AND NO WAY TO STEER CAR. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE IN A STRAIGHT STRETCH AND ONLY GOING APPROX. 25 MPH. COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF I WAS TRAVELING SPEED LIMIT AND CAME UPON A CURVE. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAYS MY INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS BROKE. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN THE CONTACT'S FACE WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE CONTACT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 60+MPH OR UPON MERGING FROM ON-RAMP, UPON QUICK ACCELERATION TO CHANGE LANES, POWER STEERING IS LOST AND 3 ALARM BELLS GO OFF IN CAR BUT NO LIGHTS APPEAR ON DASH NOR ANY MESSAGE ON RADIO. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM ABLE TO REGAIN STEERING CONTROL ONCE I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR. I AM AFRAID OF ACCELERATING TOO QUICKLY AS I MAY LOOSE COMPLETE CONTROL & CRASH INTO OTHER VEHICLES OR MEDIANS/GUARD RAILS. I USE HIGHWAYS DAILY TO COMMUTE TO WORK, AND BEING AFRAID TO ACCELERATE IS JUST AS DANGEROUS BECAUSE CANNOT ENTER HIGHWAY AT APPROPRIATE SPEED, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH A WELL. I'VE HAD ALL RECALL WORK DONE ON MY VEHICLE BUT THIS SOUNDS SIMILAR TO THE 2014 SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING RECALL - NHTSA #14V153000. TAKING CAR TO THE SHOP THIS WEEKEND TO HAVE IT INSPECTED BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE.

ON 28 FEB 2016 AROUND 11:50 AM, ME, MY TWO DAUGHTERS AND MY MOM WAS HEADED NORTH ON I-185. WHILE RIDING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE WAS GOING TO PUT IN THE HOUSE WE HAD JUST GOTTEN APPROVED FOR THAT FRIDAY AND IN MID CONVERSATION AS I'M GOING AROUND THE CURVE MY CAR GOES OVER THE FOG LINE AND I COULDN'T GET THE CAR BACK INTO MY LANE AND BEFORE I KNEW IT I HIT THE MEDIAN (WALL) ON THE LEFT SIDE, MY HOOD FLEW UP AND THE CAR BOUNCED OFF THE WALL AND ALL I REALLY REMEMBER FROM THAT POINT IS SMASHING ON BREAK BUT APPARENTLY THE CAR KEPT GOING, HIT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WALL AND CAME TO A STOP THERE. NEXT THING I KNOW A MAN WAS WAKING ME UP ASKING AM I OKAY AND SAID HELP WAS ON THE WAY. I HEARD MY DAUGHTER CRYING FOR HER SISTER BECAUSE SHE WOULDN'T MOVE SO I GET OUT THE CAR AND BEGAN TO GET THEM OUT TO ASSURE THEY'RE OKAY AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS REALLY A BLUR. I REMEMBER A MAN HELPING MY MOM OUT THE CAR AS ME AND MY KIDS SAT ON THE GROUND WAITING FOR HELP AND I REMEMBER GOING TO THE HOSPITAL WITH MY KIDS.

THE DRIVER SEAT, REAR RIGHT SIDE IS BROKEN. DRIVER LEANS TOWARD CENTER CONSOLE. POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN IF THERE WERE TO BE AN ACCIDENT. SEEMS AS IF THERE WAS A STRUCTURAL FAILURE IN THAT LOCATION. DRIVER DID NOT NOTICE IT BREAK UNTIL SITTING DOWN ONE DAY TO START DAILY COMMUTE.

MY CAR THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT KEEP COMING ON. ONE DAY IT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGH WAY I WAS STRUCK THERE FOR 20 MINUTES UNTIL THE LIGHT STOP BLINKING. THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT. U DON'T KNOW WHEN THE LIGHT WILL COME ON BUT IT DO U WILL BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE THIS NEED TO RECALLED. I HAVE RESEARCH THE INTERNET AND THIS HAVE BEEN GOING ON WITH CHEVY CARS FOR A WHILE NOW THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. I HAVE PUT AND NEW FUEL PUMP IN THE CAR AND SPSTK PLUGS. IF THIS DON'T GET RECALL I WILL NEVER NEVER NEVER GET AN CHEVY CAR AGAIN AND I WILL MAKE SURE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS DON'T EITHER.

REGARDING GM RECALL #13036 - MICRO CORROSION ON BCM TERMINALS AND RELEARN - DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT RECALL WAS PERFORMED. ISSUES WITH BRAKE LIGHTS AND CRUISE CONTROL REMAIN AFTER RECALL SERVICE. UPON VEHICLE INSPECTION, FOUND THERE WAS NOT AN APPLICATION OF DIELECTRIC GREASE ON C2 TERMINAL PORTS AS DESCRIBED IN THE PROCESS OF THE RECALL. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE GREASE MYSELF BUT, I AM UNABLE TO PERFORM THE RELEARN PROCESS WITHOUT THE GM TECH2 TOOL. ATTACHED PICTURES OF C2 CONNECTOR PORT WITH AND WITHOUT DIELECTRIC GREASE. WE WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP TO TRY AND GET THE RECALL PERFORMED PROPERLY AND THE TECH AT SERVICE DESK STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS SERVICED PROPERLY. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT PERFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP. ADDRESS: 1820 CAPITAL BLVD, RALEIGH, NC 27604.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. FOUR DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE "156 ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE". THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER REFUSED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK, STATING THAT IT WAS SOLD AS IS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT REPORTED THE MATTER TO THE FTC, BUT WAS ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

MY 2005 MALIBU IS EXTREMELY HARD TO START. IT ALSO CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS WELL AS FRUSTRATING. IN COLD WEATHER, IT WILL CRANK AFTER ONLY A FEW TRIES. IN WARM WEATHER OR AFTER DRIVING THE CAR, IT CAN TAKE UP TO 30 MINUTES TO CRANK. IT SPINS BUT DOES NOT START WITHOUT A MAJOR HASSLE. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY STARTS, I HAVE TO HOLD DOWN THE GAS PEDAL TO PREVENT IT FROM CUTTING OFF AGAIN. FREQUENTLY, IT STILL CUTS OFF WHEN I PUT IT INTO GEAR & I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE STARTING PROCESS REPEATEDLY. IT IS NOT RELIABLE & HAS RESULTED IN MY BEING LATE TO WORK, AS WELL AS LEAVING ME STRANDED. A FEMALE BEING STRANDED IS NOT SAFE. IF IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO CUT OFF IN TRAFFIC, I WILL HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TRIED THE SUGGESTIONS RELATED TO THIS COMMON ISSUE WHICH IS BLAMED ON THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM, BUT I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS AN EVERY DAY OCCURRENCE, FORCING ME TO START CRANKING MY CAR 30-45 MINUTES BEFORE I HAVE TO LEAVE FOR WORK & CAUSING ME TO SIT ALONE IN PARKING LOTS TRYING TO START MY CAR SO I CAN GO HOME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I HAD IT CONNECTED TO A COMPUTER TO BE TESTED. THE CODE NUMBER SAID "NO PART, NO FIX" & THE MECHANIC WHO CHECKED IT SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN THAT SO HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT IT MEANT. READING ONLINE FORUMS, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT FROM MALIBU OWNERS, YET NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES DUE TO IT.

I HAVE TO REPLACE MY SIGNAL LIGHTS EVERY 2 TO 3 MONTHS AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEY MELTED INSIDE ALSO I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY FUEL LIKE MY CAR IS NOT GETTING FUEL WHILE DRIVING. AND I'M ANGRY BECAUSE I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 9 YEARS AND NO ONE HAS EVER MAILED A RECALL TO MY HOME FOR ANYTHING ON MY CAR AND I MAY BE PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER. I LEARNED ABOUT THESE RECALLS FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY.

DRIVERS POWERED SEAT LOWER FRONT SUPPORT TUBE BROKE AND SEPARATED FROM THE SEAT RIGHT HAND SIDE BRACKET LINK, AT THE WELD ATTACHMENT, ATTACHING TO THE SEAT BOTTOM. THIS BREAKOUT OF MATERIAL LEAVES THE SEAT UNATTACHED TO THE TRACK ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU CLASSIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH OVER A BUMP, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG RELEASED INTO THE CONTACT'S FACE AND CAUSED HIM TO CRASH INTO A PARKED, UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUFFERED FROM SWELLING TO THE FACE AND MOUTH AREA THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS 360 DEGREES BUT THE TIRES DON'T TURN. FORTUNATELY THE CAR WAS BEING PARKED SO NO ONE WAS INJURED. DEALERSHIP THINKS THE WHOLE POWER STEERING BRACKET NEEDS REPLACING AND QUOTES APPROX. $1,000 TO REPLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

MY KEY WILL NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION AND I CHECKED FOR RECALLS. I CALLED THE DEALER TO FIX THE RECALL ON THE IGNITION, AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY PUT A PIECE OF PLASTIC OVER KEY AND WOULD NOT FIX THE IGNITION TO TURN. I CAN HARDLY EVEN START MY CAR BECAUSE THE KEY WON'T TURN. THE KEY IS GOING TO BREAK OFF IN THE IGNITION. THE HORN AND RADIO DO NOT WORK EITHER. NOT HAVING A HORN FOR INCOMING TRAFFIC TOWARDS MY VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE TURN SIGNALS ONLY WORK AT RANDOM TIMES AND THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN SWITCHING LANES INTO TRAFFIC. ALSO, SOMETHING IN THE BACK OF THE CAR SQUEAKS FOR NO REASON WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT RANDOM AND WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS. THIS CAR ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY WITH UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE DRIVERS SIDE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW WONT GO DOWN EITHER. THIS CAR HAS WAY TOO MANY SAFETY ISSUES FOR ONLY 137,000 MILES ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER ON INTERSTATE ROUTE 80 WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR WAS EMITTING A THICK BLACK SMOKE TRAIL. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE NEXT EXIT AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT.

THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE EXIST WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, HOWEVER, THEY ARE MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH FUEL, THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE.

MY TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES EVERYTIME I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND IT DISENGAGES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN REVERSE. I HAD THE RECALL DONE ON MY VEHICLE AND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD COPRRECT THE PROBLEM BUT IT HASN'T AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM THEY SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL WHAT AM I TO DO?

BOUGHT CAR USED AT 136,000 MILES. CAR RADIO DOES NOT LIGHT UP OR WORK, AND HORN DOESN'T WORK. DRIVERS SIDE BACK WINDOW WON'T GO DOWN. FIRST DAY DRIVING THE CAR, TURN SIGNALS STOPPED BLINKING AND THEN STARTED BLINKING AGAIN. SUSPENSION IN THE BACK SQUEAKS BADLY WHEN DRIVING AT RANDOM AND GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS. DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR MORE THAN ONE DAY AND NOW CAR WON'T START AT ALL (NO CRANK, NO START). THESE ARE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES INCLUDING SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE BATTERY IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD ON THE CAR WHEN PURCHASED, SO SHOULD BE GOOD. THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES NEED TO BE RECALLED. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS AND WON'T START AND IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

I RETURNED FROM PICKING UP MY GRAND DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL WHICH IS ABOUT 2MILES ONE WAY. ONCE AT HOME I TURNED OFF MY CAR WENT INSIDE TO GET PAPER WORK AND NOTICED IT WAS TIME TO GET MY SON FROM HIS BUS STOP, WHICH IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY HOUSE... AS I TURNED ON THE CAR I NOTICED/SMELLED SMOKE INSIDE THE CAR, SO I TURNED IT OFF AND GOT OUT, I CALLED OUT TO MY KIDS AND MY DAUGHTER TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO POP THE HOOD, I WAS AFRAID... SO MY DAUGHTER POPED THE HOOD AND THEN WE SAW THE SMALL FIRE, SO MY DAUGHTER GRABBED THE WATER SHOES AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT OUT AND MY OTHER DAUGHTER CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEN A BALL OF FIRE FELL TO THE GROUND UP UNDER THE CAR...THEN SHE PUT THAT OUT...SO AS THEY WERE CALLING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, I HAD TO RUN AROUND THE CORNER TO GET MY SON FROM THE BUS STOP, AS WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS COMING.... SO THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND IN HOOKED THE BATTERY AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE FIRE WAS ALL THE WAY OUT...TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, CAUSE IT MAY SPARK A FLAME ALL OVER AGAIN AND BE WORSE THEN WHAT JUST HAPPENED... PRIOR TO THIS I HAVE HAVE SMALL PROBLEM'S... LIKE MY DOME LIGHT STOP WORKING A YEAR IN HALF AGO, I TRYED TO CHANGE THE FUSE, BUT EVERY ATTEMPT THEY BURNED OUT TO THE TOUCH, SO I GAVE UP...THEN MY FRONT LIGHT WOULD KEEP BURNING OUT EVER MONTH OR TWO...TO WEAR IT MELT THE YELLOW COVERING OF THE BULB AND MELTS THE AREA WERE THE LIGHT BULB SITS IN...TO WERE I REPLACED THE WHOLE FRONT LIGHT COVER. THEN RECENTLY MY BACK BREAK LIGHT WENT OUT... I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BULB OR FUSE AFTER CHANGING THEM, COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS BREAK RELAY SWITCH... SO I HAD IT REPLACED IN JULY 2015...AND ALSO WITHIN A YEAR I HAD TO REPLACE MY STARTER, LUCKLY ITS UNDER A LIFETIME WARRENTY ....THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT I GOT MY OIL CHANGE ECT..DONE. ALL THIS HAPPENED 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE FIRE.

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE IGNITION RECALL AND ALL THE DEALERSHIP DID WAS CHARGE ME FOR A REPLACEMENT KEY. THE KEY WAS WORKING FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOW THE IGNITION IS HARD TO TURN OVER AND THE CAR HAS ACTUALLY NOT TURNING OVER AND THE ANTI THEFT LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE THE CAR WAS AT A CAR WASH GETTING DETAILED AND I HAD TO TOW THE CAR. WHEN I CALLED THE IRVING TEXAS DEALERSHIP I KEPT GETTING ASKED THE SAME QUESTIONS AND THEN NO ONE RETURNED MY CALL. THE CAR HAD BEEN WORKING FINE AND WAS STOPPED WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2013 AND IT'S BEEN A DECENT CAR. HOWEVER IT IS THE 2ND MALIBU THAT I'VE OWNED AND IT'S GOT THE SAME ISSUES. THE RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ERROR WHERE THEY SHORT OUT AND MELT THE ACTUAL LIGHTS. I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE THE BULBS. I'VE GOTTEN TO WHERE I JUST TURN THEM OFF. THE 2ND THING HAPPENED TODAY. MY FIRST MALIBU DIDN'T HAVE A SUNROOF BUT THIS ONE DOES. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN I HEARD THIS LOUD EXPLOSION, LIKE A GUNSHOT OR A SEMI TRUCK TIRE BLOWING UP. I LOOK ALL AROUND ME AND WHEN I LOOKED UP, GLASS WAS FALLING ON MY HEAD. MY SUNROOF RANDOMLY EXPLODED. AND ACCORDING TO SEVERAL MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN OBJECT FLUNG BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TO SHATTER A SUNROOF. APPARENTLY MANUFACTURERS HAVE STARTED GETTING LAZY WITH SUNROOFS WHEN MAKING CARS, SO IF I WERE YOU, I WOULDN'T BUY A CAR WITH A SUNROOF.

I PURCHASED A 2005 MALIBU MAXX FROM AN USED CAR DEALER AND THE VERY NEXT DAY THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURNED ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WHILE THE CAR WAS COMING TO A STOP I NOTICED THAT IT LOST ALL POWER AND THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START.

THE WELD ON THE FRONT TORSION TUBE OF THE DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTER IS DETACHED AND THE TUBE IS DISCONNECTED, ALLOWING MORE THAN 200MM OF FORE/AFT MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER SEAT BACK AND HEADREST IF SEAT IS IN FULL UP POSITION. THIS WILL CLEARLY NOT PASS FMVSS 207 OR 210. THERE ARE ALREADY DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE ON THE NHTSA SITE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS INITIALLY OCCURRED.

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING MOMENTARILY CAUSING GREAT DIFFICULTY IN STEERING THE VEHICLE. FOR SOME REASON THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 14V-153 EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN THE AFFECTED MODEL YEAR AND HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL: STEERING. MY CAR HAD THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED OVER A YEAR. ON 11/18/2015 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FWY WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL GOT HARD ON THE CURVE, WAS A VERY SCARY SITUACION. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE'S ANYTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS OVER, I CAL GM AND THEY SAID THE PART WAS REPLACED ALREADY REPLACED. ON MY OPINION IF THEY PUT A NEW PART AND LAST LESS THEN 2 YEARS THAT MEANS STILL DEFECTED, BECAUSE IT SHOULD LAST LONGER . PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I'M VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THAT.

2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE RECEIVED AN INVOICE STATING THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. HOWEVER, AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, HE EXPERIENCED A POWER STEERING FAILURE. UPON RETURNING TO THE DEALER FOR AN EXPLANATION OF THE POWER STEERING FAILURE, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED IT WAS A SEPARATE PROBLEM NOT RELATED TO THE REPAIR THAT WAS JUST PERFORMED. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE TICKET, THE TECHNICIAN FOUND AND CHECKED CODE C0900 AND THEN CHECKED THE ALTERNATOR. IT THEN STATED HE FOUND A RELATED TSB THAT SAID WHEN FINDING A CODE C0900 AND B1325 AS WELL AS OTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTORS IT MAY NEED TO HAVE A COIL REPLACED AND GROUND STRAP ADDED. THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT STATE HE FOUND BOTH CODES.

I HAVE A CHEVY MALIBU 2005, THE DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT/TURN SIGNAL KEEPS BURNING OUT AND HAVE TO REPLACE IT EVERY 2 WEEKS, THE SOCKET GETS SO HOT AND BURNS THE BULB OUT. IT IS HAPPENING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.I AM GETTING TIRED OF THIS. I FEEL CHEVY SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS, WHEN IT BURNS OUT THEN I HAVE NO TURN SIGNAL AND TIRED OF REPLACING THE BULB. IT GETS SO HOT THAT THE CONNECTOR ON THE BULB ACTUALLY MELTS AND LOOKS LIKE THE REFLECTOR COVERING HAS EITHER GOTTEN SO HOT IT MELTS OR SOMETHING AND NOW BEFORE IT BLEW THIS TIME, I WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB ONCE AGAIN AFTER JUST CHANGING IT 2 WEEKS AGO AND FOUND/SAW THAT IT NOW MELTED THE COVERING, THE YELLOW REFLECTOR COVERING. I THINK THIS IS WHAT IT IS CALLED. SOMEBODY HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. AND IF I DON'T FIX IT I HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING A TICKET FOR NOT HAVING IT WORKING. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO REPLACE THE SOCKET SINCE THAT IS THE PROBLEM AS THE PICTURES WILL SHOW YOU. THE DATE I PICKED IS ONLY APX. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR @ LEAST A YR. I HOPE THE PICS HELP YOU TO MAKE A DECISION THE RIGHT WAY. I AM GETTING NO WHERE WITH CHEVY. UPDATED 11/18/15*LJ UPDATED 05/23/18*JB

I AM HOPING THESE PICS COME THREW THIS TIME. IT WOULD NOT GO THREW LAST TIME SO I CROPPED THE PIC TO SHOW YOU THE BULB AND COVERING FROM THE DAY LIGHT/TURN SIGNAL SOCKET ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. MY PREVIOUS COMPAINT DID NOT ALLOW THE PICS SO TRYING AGAIN. I HAVE TO CHANGE THE BULB EVERY 2 WEEKS DUE TO THE SOCKET GETTING TO HOT. THE DATE IS ONLY APX. SINCE IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST A YR. I REALLY HOPE THE PICS COME THREW, IT SHOWS PROOF OF WHAT IS HAPPENING. UPDATED 11/18/15*LJ UPDATED 05/23/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT.

THE IGNITION CYLINDER ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU CLASSIC FAILED, AND THE KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION. THE GENERAL MOTORS RECALL TO MAKE THE KEY HOLE SMALLER ON THE KEY ITSELF TO FIX IGNITION PROBLEMS IS AN INCOMPLETE REPAIR. UPON CONTACTING GM ABOUT THE IGNITION PROBLEM, THEY IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO GILLMAN CHEVROLET HARLINGEN AT THEIR EXPENSE, BUT SO FAR GM HAS REFUSED TO MAKE A COMPLETE REPAIR TO THE IGNITION. GM MAINTAINS THAT THE RECALL TO THE IGNITION PROBLEM IS ONLY TO FIX THE KEY HOLE, AND DOES NOT WANT TO AUTHORIZE A COMPLETE REPAIR FOR THE IGNITION FAILURE. ALSO, THE SHIFTER SELENOID HAS FAILED, AND THE KEY WON'T RETURN TO THE OFF POSITION. THE THEFT SYSTEM ALSO FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE AND WON'T ALLOW THE CAR TO TURN ON. WHEN THE THEFT SYSTEM FAILS, THE ONLY WAY TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE IS TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION FOR 10 MINUTES WHICH THEN RESETS THE THEFT SYSTEM. GM IS BUILDING SUBSTANDARD VEHICLES AND WON'T MAKE COMPLETE REPAIRS ON THE FAULTY IGNITIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR GM CUSTOMERS AND AFTER A WEEK OF TRYING TO GET GM ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR MY IGNITION PROBLEM, THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS.

ISSUE ONE IS THE DRIVERS SEAL WELDS BRAKE ON THE REAR AND FRONT FROM THE FLOOR MOUNT BASE TO THE ELEVATED CONTROL THUS IN THE CASE OF A CRASH THE SEAT IS COMPROMISED TO SEPARATE COMPLETELY FROM THE FLOOR MOUNT DUE TO THESE WELDS BEING BROKE. SECOND ISSUE FUEL PUMPS BEGIN TO LEAK AT THE SEAL OF THE PUMP AT THE FUEL TANK LEAKING HEAVY AMOUNTS OF FUEL FROM THE TANK AND ONTO THE EXHAUST. THIRD ISSUE WHICH I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF RECALLS BUT THE DEALERSHIP DENIES THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE MAXX THAT ONLY THE BASE MODEL IS EFFECTED BUT WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WILL FAIL AND THE CAR HAS NO CONTROL AND WILL VIOLENTLY JERK IN ONE DIRECTION THROWING THE VEHICLE IN TO ONCOMING LANES OR EVEN INTO THE DITCH. HAPPENS PERIODICALLY THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARS ON MAIN CONTROL MESSAGE SCREEN AND CAR WILL SOUND AN ALARM, OTHER TIMES THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS FROM CHECK ENGINE, OIL, AIR BAG, SEAT BELT, SO ON SO ALL COME ON AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE USUALLY OCCURS WHILE ACCELERATING WHETHER SLOWLY OR EVEN WHILE TRYING TO SPEED UP MORE AGGRESSIVELY TO MERGE UNTO EXPRESSWAY TRAFFIC. I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED INTO NUMEROUS CARS DUE TO STEERING GOING OUT AND WHEEL WILL VIOLENTLY JERK ONE DIRECTION OR TO THE OTHER. NOT SURE WHY THIS SITE SHOWS A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING BUT DEALERSHIP DENIES THERE IS A ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE MAXX BUT THEY HAVE ONE FOR THE 2005 BASE MALIBU

MY CAR HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS!!! KICKING OFF ALL KINDS OF SENSOR ALARMS I.E MAP,TPS,MAF... JUST TO NAME A FEW I'VE REPLACED ALL OF THEM ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW!!!! MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S IN "LIMP" MODE IT KEEPS LOSING POWER AND WON'T ALLOW ME TO GO OVER 20!!! IT'S BEEN BURNING THROUGH OIL AND I KNOW IT'S SLOWLY GOING DESTROY MY ENGINE!! THIS WIRING ISSUE NEED FIXED ASAP!

I TOOK MY CAR IN ON 9/3/15 FOR A RECALL ON POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, A BRAKE COMPONENT, AND GEAR SHIFT CABLE. MY CAR HAD THE ISSUE OF LOOSING POWER STEERING PRIOR TO ME BRINGING IT IN ON ONE OCCASION. AFTER GETTING MY CAR SERVICED AT CHUCK HUTTON CHEVY IN MEMPHIS, TN FOR THE RECALLS ONLY ONE WEEK LATER MY CAR BEGAN MAKING WHINING, GRINDING NOISES EVERY TIME I TURNED THE WHEEL. I FIRST THOUGHT THE CAR NEEDED POWER STEERING FLUID, HOWEVER I WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE MY CAR HAD AN EPS I COULDN'T PUT POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO CHUCK HUTTON BECAUSE I WAS NOT TOLD WHEN THEY DID THE REPAIRS THAT ANYTHING ELSE WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I ASSUMED PERHAPS A MISTAKE WAS MADE AND A BOLT WAS NOT PUT ON PROPERLY. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR NEEDED A POWER STEERING RACK, NEW TIRES, AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT. MY TIRES ON MY CAR ARE BARELY 6 MONTHS OLD AND YOU CAN NOW SEE THE THREAD AND PRIOR TO TAKING MY CAR TO GET THE RECALLS DONE ON IT I HAD MY CAR FULLY SERVICED IN AUGUST. I FEEL THAT MY CAR WAS TAMPERED WITH. THE SERVICING AGENT TOLD ME MY CAR WAS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND THE PS RACK WAS BADLY WORN DOWN. BUT MY CAR HAS AN ELECTRIC PUMP AND THEIR IS NO FLUID TO LEAK AS THE SUPERVISOR TOLD ME WHEN I CAME TO HIM TO RESOLVE MY CONCERNS. YES, I TRIED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE SUPERVISOR BUT WAS BRUSHED OFF AND TOLD MY CAR WAS OLD. AS BALDLY AS MY CAR SOUNDS I FEEL THAT IF IT WAS REALLY WEAR AND TEAR THEY WOULD HAVE SEEN IT WHEN THEY LOOKED AT MY CAR THE FIRST TIME AND NOTIFIED ME. I WASN'T NOTIFIED LEAVING ME TO BELIEVE MY CAR WAS TAMPERED WITH SO THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT BACK FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. IF NOT THEN WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND KILLED ME OR MY CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY ME THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHEN I TOOK IT TO THEM. EITHER THEY ARE NEGLIGENT OR CROOKED.

DRIVER POWER SEAT/ BROKEN WELD ON METAL STABILIZER BAR ACROSS THE LOWER FRONT OF THE SEAT. CAUSES THE SEAT TO BE UNSTABLE AND SHIFT WHEN BRAKING OR ACCELLERATING.

STEARING MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY RAC N PINION AND SEVERAL COMPLAINT WERE REPORTED TO HIGHWAY SAFETY ABOUT THIS MATTER,

THE PARK LIGHT/DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY MELTING THE AMBER LENS. THE BULB SOCKET MELTS CAUSING THE TURN SIGNAL NOT TO WORK. EVERY FEW MONTHS I HAVE TO REMOVE HEADLIGHT LAMP AND FIX BULB SO IT WILL WORK. I HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR MALIBUS. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS MANY AS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CAP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FUEL CAP WAS REPLACED BUT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

THE FAILURES RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

AFTER TAKING MY CHEVROLET MALIBU CLASSIC 2005 INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL IN WHICH THEY PUT INSERTS ON MY KEY AND A KING RING, RIDICULOUS IF YOU ASK ME, MY CAR HAS NOW DONE THE SAME THING THREE MORE TIMES I THOUGHT THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX. WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS ( 60 MPH., 45 MPH., 20 MPH) MY CARS SHUTS OFF AS IF I TURNED THE KEY OFF. MY POWER STEERING, BRAKES ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE EFFECTED. I HAVE TO THEN TURN MY KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND AGAIN START MY CAR TO CONTINUE DRIVING. IT DOES THIS WITH NO WARNING, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY, WHILE TURNING, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL WHICH ARE ALL VERY MUCH SAFETY ISSUES. DRIVING 60 ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN LEAVING YOU WITH NO POWER STEERING NO POWER BRAKES NO WARNING LIGHTS ETC. VERY SCARY. WHILE TURNING A CORNER ALL OF A SUDDEN NO POWER STEERING SEEMS TO ME COULD CAUSE A MAJOR WRECK, AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL LOOSING YOUR POWER BRAKES COULD ALSO. THIS HAPPEN TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THE RECALL ALSO. I DO BELIEVE IT WAS A CHEAP WAY OF CHEVY TO TRY TO GET OUT OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER MECHANIC WHAT WAS HAPPENING HE INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL THAT FIXED THE KEY WOULD NOT HELP THE PROBLEM OF MY CAR RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IT SO WHAT WAS IT FOR THEN?

MY CHEVROLET MALIBU CLASSIC 2005 RANDOMLY DOES NOT START. IN MOST VEHICLES WHEN YOU START A VEHICLE ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TURN THE KEY, THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS CAR, YOU FIRST HAVE TO TURN THE KEY AND LISTEN FOR THE FUEL PUMP TO ENGAGE THEN AND ONLY IF YOU HEAR THAT CAN YOU TURN THE KEY THE REST OF THE WAY TO START YOUR VEHICLE. IF YOU DO NOT HEAR THE FUEL PUMP AND GO AHEAD AND TRY TO START THE VEHICLE YOU TRIGGER THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO START FOR ANOTHER 15 MINUTES. WHILE THIS IS NOT MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE IT IS STILL A HUGE ISSUE, LEAVING ME STRANDED, SOMETIMES STUCK IN A HOT CAR JUST TRYING TO GET IT TO START, MADE ME LATE FOR WORK AND OTHER FUNCTIONS NUMEROUS TIMES. AFTER WAITING YOUR 15 MINUTES YOUR VEHICLE STILL MAY NOT START. IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH PATIENTS YOU CAN SET THERE AND TURN THE KEY OFF AND ON UNTIL YOU HEAR THE FUEL PUMP ENGAGE. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE VEHICLE WORKS RADIO, LIGHTS ETC. IT JUST DOES NOT START. LEAVING ME TO BELIEVE THE IGNITION IS TO BLAME, AND HERE RECENTLY I WILL TURN THE KEY AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS. I THEN TRY AGAIN AND IT STARTS LIKE A CHARM UNTIL ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO DO ANYTHING, MY BOYFRIEND INFORMED ME TO TURN THE KEY AND PUT THE CAR IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION AND TRY TO START IT AGAIN THIS WORKED. ALL I KNOW IS THIS CAR HAS GIVEN ME MANY PROBLEMS THAT MY GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC FATHER IS SHORT OF FIGURING OUT. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO FAULTY PARTS OR JUST A BAD MAKE OF CAR. THE ONLY THING I COULD DISPUTE THAT IS WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY STARTING, NOT SHUTTING DOWN ON ME IT IS A REASONABLY GOOD VEHICLE. IT GETS ME FROM POINT A TO POINT B NOT ALWAYS SAFELY OR RELIABLY BUT AT LEAST I HAVE A VEHICLE I JUST WHICH GM WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PART IN THIS CARS ISSUES. OR AT LEAST INFORM THE PUBLIC IN HOW TO FIX THEM.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL STEERING MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,437.

THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT RAILS HAVE FAILED AND THE DEALER WANTS ALMOST $1000 TO REPAIR (WHICH I DON'T HAVE RIGHT NOW). I AM AFRAID THAT THE SEAT WILL COMPLETELY FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. IT APPEARS THAT THIS FAILURE OF THE FRONT SEAT RAILING WELD IS FAIRLY COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE AND I AM SURPRISED THAT THE NHTSA WOULD ALLOW A MANUFACTURER (GENERAL MOTORS) TO NOT FIX THIS APPARENT SERIOUS DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING FLAW. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW, WEIGH LESS THAN 130 LBS, HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GENTLE WITH THE CAR. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GM AND THE CHEVROLET DEALER WANT TO MAKE A PROFIT FROM ME TO REPAIR THEIR DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I OFFERED TO PAY THE OUT OF POCKET COSTS TO REPAIR THE DEFECT (I THNK THIS WOULD BE ABOUT OF THE QUOTED PRICE FOR THE ACTUAL MECHANIC TIME/WAGES AND WHOLESALE PARTS PRICE), BUT WAS TURNED DOWN.

THE FRONT DRIVER TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK, IT HAS MELTED THE PLASTIC INSIDE. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULB SEVERAL TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT. THE PASSENGER TURN SIGNAL IS NOW BLINKING VERY FAST AND THEN SLOW SO I'M GUESSING IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THAT ONE DOESN'T WORK. ALSO THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR BLINKER AND BRAKE LIGHT DO NOT WORK. ALL OF THIS IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AND COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. CLEARLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE AND RESOLUTION. THANK YOU. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE AT SCHOOL THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN. I AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE SAID CAR WAS ABLE TO GET STEERING BACK FOR A TIME.

I WAS DRIVING AS NORMAL WITH NO INCIDENT, PARKED WENT INTO HOME AND CAME OUT 10 MINUTES LATER, CAR WOULD NOT CRANK, AS IF BATTERY WAS DEAD.. WENT BACK IN TO GET A MULTI-METER AND CHECKED BATTERY, SHOWED 12.3 VOLTS. WENT BACK INTO CAR AND IT CRANKED RIGHT UP , NO HESITATION. NEXT DAY WENT TO GET MY GRAND-DAUGHTER (2 YEARS OLD) AND PARKED AT HER HOME. LOADED THE BABY-SEAT, AND WENT TO START CAR, DEAD BATTERY SYMPTOM AGAIN. JUMPED THE CAR FROM MY DAUGHTER AND WENT TOM WALMART TO HAVE BATTERY CHECKED. BATTERY AND CHARGE SYSTEM CHECKED FINE. TRIED TO START THE CAR AFTER TEST, ACTED LIKE A DEAD BATTERY AGAIN. WALMART TECH SAID LOOKS LIKE A BAD STARTER MOTOR. I PURCHASED A NEW STARTER AND INSTALLED. CRANKED ON FIRST HIT. CHECKED CHARGING AMPS WHILE RUNNING, 13.4 VOLTS. WENT 25 MILES TO TOWN. PARKED AND AFTER 2 HOURS CAME BACK TO CAR AND WOULD NOT CRANK. (TURNED MOTOR ONCE THEN CLICK CLICK. CLICK.) GOT A RIDE HOME AND CHECKED INTERNET FOR PROBABLE CAUSE, SEEMS LIKE HUNDREDS (THOUSANDS) HAVE THE SAME SITUATION. I FEEL THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM IS CUTTING OFF POWER TO CAR. I TRIED THE FIX THAT I FOUND, LOCK, UNLOCK, LOCK UNLOCK CAR WITH KEY THEN WAIT 10 MINUTES AND CRANK THE CAR. IT WORKED. I PULLED AWAY FROM MY LODGE AND WENT DOWN THE ROAD. STOPPED, MADE A RIGHT TURN HEADING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, NO ELECTRICAL SIGNS OTHER THAN ANTI THEFT LIGHT FLASHING ON DASH. TRIED REPETITIVELY TO START THE CAR BUT AGAIN JUST CLICK CLICK. CLICK. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE THRU-WAY, IT WOULD PROBABLY BEEN AN ACCIDENT. FURTHER SEARCH ON INTERNET SHOWS THIS A MAJOR PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL IS FOUND. WHY???

WE JUST GOT OUT OF CHURCH AND WAS STOPPING AT A GAS STATION TO GET SOME GAS. PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT WENT INTO REVERSE AND STAYED IN REVERSE. NO MATTER HOW WE TRIED TO GET THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF REVERSE, IT WOULD MOVE UP AND DOWN BUT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF REVERSE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN MY OPINION AND I AM SURE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO RECENTLY. RIGHT NOW THE VEHICLE IS IN OUR DRIVE WAY AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO EVEN FIND A TOW COMPANY THAT WILL MOVE A CAR STUCK IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING PERFECT PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. DON'T GET STUCK ON THE FREE WAY IN REVERSE!!

I WAS ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL. WHEN I TOOK MY EXIT (23 ON ROUTE 2), THE CAR SIMPLY TURNED OFF, LOCKING MY STEERING WHEEL. I LOST CONTROL, SPUNG TWICE AND LANDED ON THE RAMP OF THAT EXIT. THE CAR HAS BEEN USELESS SINCE THEN. I CALLED THE RECALL HOTLINE TO GET SUPPORT AND THEY DID NOTHING FOR ME. I'M LEFT WITH NO CAR AND NO SUPPORT BY THE GM TEAM THAT FORWARD ME ENDLESS RECALL LETTERS. I'VE HAD ENDLESS ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I FINANCED IT. ENDLESS REPAIRS, CLOSE ACCIDENTS ENCOUNTER BECAUSE OF CAR SENSOR ISSUES. BRAKES NO PROPERLY WORKING. TRACTION FAILING.

THE CAR HAD BEEN BROKE DOWN UNTIL FEBRUARY OF 20015, AND IN APRIL IT WAS SENT TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALLS FIXED.

HOWEVER, I HAVE A RECALLED SHIFT CABLE AND HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE LAST YEAR IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER. I ASKED ISN'T THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY STATED , THEY ALL ARE. SO I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE CALL THAT THEY HAVE THIS SHIFT CABLE AND CAN ONLY PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS, LIKE A BAD ACCIDENT. IF SOMETHING WERE IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE GOOD FOR YOU ALL. ANYWAY WHEN WILL THIS PART BE IN SO I CAN GET IT TAKEN CARE OF. WENT TO [XXX] IN KANSAS CITY KS. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM THEM AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THE CAR. PLEASE ADVISE. BY THE WAY THE SEAT BROKE, THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS STOPPED WORKING AND I'M NOT REAL HAPPY. OF COURSE ITS PAID FOR NOW AND NOT UNDER A WARRANTY.
