The power steering light came on while driving and I could barely turn the wheel.

I had to leave car so it get tow to a dealer.When got ready to leave I could not turn at all. I been notice that the wheel use to pull back when I turn. This can cause an accident.

The rack and pinion needs to be replaced at the speed of 65 the steering feels loose and I was told that the rack and pinion is out, so I am having to replace the entire thing, I dont have a receipt yet because it's going to the shop next week, it seems odd that a car with only 75k miles would need a new rack and pinion. Also the high mount brake light is out..which seems crazy on a car with low miles, I understand that the car is old but to me it's a new car, I only just purchased it in October 2020.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, SINCE PURCHASING LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO, MY POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF, GET OUT, AND GET BACK IN TO RESTART, THEN IT HAS CORRECTED ITSELF. IT HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED IN A STATIONARY SETTING THUS FAR, BUT AFTER READING ABOUT THE 2014 RECALL FOR 04-06, I'M NERVOUS THAT I MAY BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

WAS DRIVING CAR AND THE ENGINE CUT OFF. REDUCED ENGINE POWER SHOWED ON MY RADIO AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IGNITION OFF, WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES, THEN CRANK IT BACK UP TO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS RAINING OR HAS RAINED. WHEN THE ROADS ARE WET. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND BRAKING. C0242 - ENGINE CONTROL MODULE INDICATED TRACTION CONTROL MALFUNCTION IS THE CODE IT IS GIVING ME. THIS IS CAUSING MY GAS MILEAGE TO DROP TO AROUND 230-250 MILES PER TANK. WHEN I WAS GETTING ALMOST 400 PER TANK.

THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND IT WANTS TO GO TO THE RIGHT AND WHEN I FIX THE WHEEL TO GO STRAIGHT THE CAR MAKES A BEEPING NOISE AND THEN THE WHEEL LOCKS UP. IT DOES THIS WHEN MOVING FORWARD OR TURNING.

ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO THE STEERING WHELL BEGAN TO SHUTTER JUST AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT PROGRESSED SINCE THEN TO MORE NOTICABLE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL SPEEDS WITH INTERMITTENT SHUTTING OFF OF THE POWER STEERING. NOW THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER START UP. MAKING THE VEHICLE PRACTICALLY UNDRIVABLE AND UNSAFETO OPERATE. I SAW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CHECKED THE VIN IT SAYS THERE ARE "0" UNREPAIRED RECALLS. SO SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2.5 YEARS THAT A PREVIOUS OWNER MAY HAVE REPAIRED IT ALREADY?

I HAVE OWNED MY CAR FOR OVER 5 YEARS NEVER HAD AN ISSUE UNTIL 2WKS AGO. I WAS LEAVING THE STORE AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. I'M NOT CAR SAVVY, BUT A KNOW ENOUGH TO GET BY. THOUGHT MY FLUID WAS LOW BUT FOUND OUT MY CAR HAS HYDRAULIC POWER STEERING AND THE RACK WAS PROLLY BAD, BUT LEFT THE AUTO STORE AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED. AND HAS BEEN IN AND OUT UNTIL I FOUND THIS RECALL. LUCKILY BOTH THE GROCERY STORE AND AUTO STORE WERE IN THE SAME PARKING LOT AND MY DRIVE HOME WAS ONLY A HALF MILE,

I CALLED CHEVY RIGHT AFTER I START EXPERIENCING MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME THE LADY TOLD ME THAT I HAD THREE RECALLS ON MY CAR AND THEN I HAD MISSED MY APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I HAD COVID SO WHEN I WAS BETTER I CALLED AND RESCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL LIST WHEN I KNOW IT HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE THE GIRL BEFORE ME THAT OWNED IT SAID THAT IT HAD TO REPLACE IT ONCE BEFORE FOR THE POWER STEERING OR THE STEERING COLUMN SO NOW THIS NOW I'M DRIVING MY CAR IT HAS NO POWER STEERING IT'S JERKING BACK AND FORTH WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT'S NOT SAFE AND I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DRIVE SO WHAT DO I DO SO I'VE BEEN LOOKING THINGS UP AND IT TOLD ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT SAFETY COMPLAINT

AS I WAS DRIVING, MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD JUST SHAKE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT. THERE'LL BE A CLICKING SOUND THEN IT STIFFENS UP AND I'M UNABLE TO TURN, THEN IT STOPS. YESTERDAY, 12.20.2020, I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2YR OLD IN THE CAR AND MY STEERING COMPLETELY STOPPED ALTOGETHER IN THE MIDDLE OF ME TURNING THE CORNER OFF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO GET ALL THE WAY HOME TO SAFETY. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME 😭 THANKS!

THE CAR WILL BEEP AT ME THEN POWER STEERING SHOWS UP ON THE DASH WHEN STILL. THEN THE STEERING GETS HARD. BUT IF I TURN IT OFF THEN TURN IT ON AGAIN IT WORKS OKAY FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

MY ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING WENT OUT STARTED COMING BACK ON AND NOW IT WON'T WORK AGAIN I WAS TOLD IT WAS A RECALL

THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN STREET TRAFFIC. I HAD TO MANUALLY STEER THE CAR USING BOTH ARMS AND ALOT OF FORCE. I HAVE USED THE CAR AGAIN SINCE THEN AND THE SAME ISSUE COMES AND GOES AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU SINCE LATER 2018. IT IS NOW NOV 1ST 2020. A FEW MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE I HAD ISSUES. I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS REPLACED BY FREDERICKSBURG VIRGINIA CHEVY DEALERSHIP (THEY SAY THAT THEY DID?) THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE THE STEERING VIBRATES AT HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE OWNED THIS CAR, WHEN I SPEED UP ANY HILLS MY STEERING LOCKS UP MY BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT DEPENDING. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE! DEALER DIDN'T KNOW WHAT COULD CAUSE IT. I LEARNED TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THE STEERING GOES BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS NOT EASY ON A CURVY HILL ROAD. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS WRECK. I HAVE A 10 MONTH OLD BABY. THIS IS FRIGHTENING IF IT ONE DAY IT DOESN'T FIX BY TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL. NOW MY STEERING IS STIFF AND IS SO HARD TO TURN WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED. THE STEERING MOTOR RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED SAYS THE DEALER. SO WHY IS IT GOING BAD AGAIN? IT HAS ONLY BEEN 30,000 MILES LATER. WHY AM I HAVING A STIFF STEERING WHEEL AGAIN IF THEY REPLACED IT? THE TC LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN HOURS OF THE STEERING GOING STIFF. WHY DOES CHEVY DISTRIBUTE VEHICLES WITH SUCH SAFETY ISSUES? I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE STEERING TO BE 'FIXED/REPLACED' AGAIN! DANGEROUS CHEVY VEHICLE.

THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS JUST STARTED AND WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR THEN HAS TO BE STOPPED, SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED FOR THE ISSUE TO CLEAR.

CAR RUNS FINE THEN WITHOUT WARNING IT WILL JUST DIE. DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION. IT IS CAR USED BY TWO NEW TEEN DRIVERS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DRIVING TIME.

ON PAGE 2, THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER RECALL AT 115,069 MILES, AND WOULD NOT BE REPLACED UNDER RECALL AT THIS TIME. THE PREVIOUS RECALL REPLACEMENT PART IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE WHEN, WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES SINCE RECALL REPLACEMENT, THE PART FAILED AGAIN. THE OWNER SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY CHEVROLET FOR SUBSTANDARD RECALL REPLACEMENT WITH INADEQUATE PARTS. RECALL = N140116.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. A REPAIR APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH THE MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE STEERING LOST POWER AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LYNN LAYTON CHEVROLET (256-274-6493, LOCATED AT 2416 US-31, DECATUR, AL 35601) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED AGAIN BY THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING WHILE TURNING AT A LOW SPEED.

POWER STEERING GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. ALSO, STEERING WHEEL SHAKES RAPIDLY WHILE IN PARK.

CANNOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION. ALMOST AS IF ITS LOCKED IN PLACE. AT FIRST IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THE POWER STEERING WAS GOING OUT, BUT THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE FOR WORK IT WAS GONE ALL TOGETHER

THE POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART IT. KEEPS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN

TAKATAT RECALL .. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHEN I WAS DRIVEING I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE CAR WITH ME WE ALL COULD HAVE DIE LORD ME AND MY FAMILY IS HOMELESS WE NEED THIS CAR TO GET AROUND PLEACE HELPN US WITH THIS I WAS DRIVEING FROM EAST ST LOUIS IL TO WORK AT THE HOLLWOOD CASINO IN ST LOUIS MO WE SLEEP IN OUR CAR THATS WHY MY FAMILY WAS THERE WITH ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT WENT OUT AND THE STEERING WHEEL ALL SO SHAKES VERY BAD

AT TIMES ELECTRONIC STEERING STOPS WORKING AND RADIO DISPLAYS POWER STEERING. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING. GM SAYS VEHICLE IS NOT INVOLVED IN A RECALL.

THE LAST RECALL YOU TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TOOK THE STEERING WHEEL POSITIONING TORQUE SENSOR OUT THAT WAS GOOD BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT IT MIGHT GO BAD AND CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE YOU REPLACE IT WITH ONE THAT WENT BAD I ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF YOUR REPAIR. I CALLED MY GM DEALER AND THEY'RE REFUSING TO STAND BEHIND . IF IT WAS A BIG ENOUGH SAFETY ISSUE TO CAUSE A RECALL. I THINK YOU NEED TO RECALL IT AGAIN. IF THE SENSOR YOU PUT IN WENT BAD YOU DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM YOU ONLY PUT ANOTHER BAD SENSOR IN SO YOU STILL HAVE THE SAME SAFETY RISK. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE THERE'S AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEBODY DIES BECAUSE OF YOUR POOR RECALL. I WAS DRIVING 55 MILE AN HOUR ON A CORNER MY RADIO BEAT AND SAID POWER STEERING THE WHEEL JERKED AND IT WAS REALLY HARD TO STEER.

ELECTRONIC STEERING GOES IN AND OUT. WHEN IN GEAR AND FOOT ON BRAKE THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES RIGHT TO LEFT. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF RECALL.

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. I HAVE CHANGED THE LIGHT BUILD 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. THE LAST TIME BEING SATURDAY MORNING, THEN ON THE WAY HOME TONIGHT IT IS OUT AGAIN. LAST FRIDAY, IT WAS WORKING ON MY WAY SOMEWHERE AND THEN QUITE. ON MY WAY HOME IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF I TURNED, HIT A BUMP, ETC. IT JUST GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. I HAVE READ MANY MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THIS HAPPENS TO OTHERS AS WELL. I FEEL CHEVROLET NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEIZE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V153000 (STEERING), 14E044000 (STEERING), AND 15V064000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT TIPS BACKWARD WHEN WE SIT BACK IN IT, AND CAN ROCK BACK AND FORTH WHEN THE CAR STOPS AND STARTS, OR IF THE DRIVER LEANS BACK WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHICH POSITION THE POWER SEAT IS PLACED IN, UP OR DOWN, FORWARD OR BACK. THIS IS A SIX-WAY POWER SEAT CONTROL.

WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING ASSIST WAS LOST WHICH RESULTED IN A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. RECYCLING THE IGNITION KEY RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A DAY OR TWO BEFORE REPEATING. IT APPEARS THIS VIN IS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE GM RECALL FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. RECOMMENDATION TO NHTSA IS TO REOPEN THIS RECALL AND EXPAND THE VIN RANGE TO INCLUDE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NOT A SELECT FEW JUST TO SAVE MONEY. THIS INCIDENT OCCURS WHETHER DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS OR JUST STARTING THE CAR AND ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN.

CAR LOSES IT'S ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RANDOMLY, WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN. APPARENTLY, THERE ARE 2 SEPARATE RECALLS ON THE STEERING COMPONENTS FOR 2006 MALIBUS. GM SAYS THAT 1 OF THE RECALLS RELATED TO MY CAR AND THE REPAIR WAS MADE. SINCE THIS IS A "CLOSED" CASE AND THE REPAIR WAS MADE I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM BOTH THE DEALERSHIP THAT MADE THE REPAIR AND GM HEADQUARTERS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ISSUE IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. CLEARLY, THE RECALL WAS JUST A BAND-AID, NOT A FIX AS I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! RADIO ILLUMINATES THAT THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED (WHICH IS WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR). THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE 1. INVESTIGATED 2. FIXED BY GM AND NOT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY $130 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THEN CHARGE ME TO REPLACE THE SAME PART THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX! THIS IS CRAZY AND DO WE REALLY NEED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHEN IT CLEARLY SAYS (AND I CAN FEEL) THAT THE POWER STEERING IS FAILING? PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ,THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START DUE TO A FAULTY SECURITY SYSTEM. DURING THE FAILURE THE "SECURITY LOCK" MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DICK SMITH CHEVROLET (1601 US -52, MONCKS CORNER, SC) WHO UNLOCKED THE SECURITY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

POWER STEERING WARNING APPEARS AND THEN POWER STEERING GOES OUT. LOCAL GARAGE DIAGNOSED AS STEERING TORQUE SENSOR. THE STEERING USUALLY WORKS WHEN YOU FIRST START THE CAR, BUT COMPLETELY FAILS AFTER A FEW MINUTES. CONTACTED LOCAL GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS ALREADY FIXED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. APPARENTLY THE PARTS ARE FAILING AGAIN.

YESTERDAY, WHEN TRYING TO PARK, I HEARD A CHIME AND THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING" POPPED UP ON THE INFO SCREEN. THE CAR BECAME INCREDIBLY HARD TO STEER, SO I'M THINKING THE POWER STEERING HAD SHUT OFF. I TURNED MY CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON, AND THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK ON, SO I WAS ABLE TO PARK THE CAR CORRECTLY. WHEN WE WERE ABOUT TO HEAD HOME, AS SOON AS I TURN ON A BUSY STREET, JUST BEFORE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CHIME GOES OFF, THE MESSAGE POPS UP, AND MY POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF AGAIN. I TURNED (WITH ALL MY MIGHT) INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A LITTLE BIT. MY FAMILY AND I WERE LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD, BUT WE WEREN'T SURE WHAT TO CHECK FOR. WE EVENTUALLY GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND WENT HOME. THANKFULLY, THE POWER STEERING STAYED ON AND WE GOT HOME SAFELY (17 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY). I'M JUST WORRIED THAT IT WILL EVENTUALLY TURN OFF ON ITS OWN AGAIN. IF I HAVE TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT, I WOULD LIKE TO GO IN PREPARED THIS TIME. A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHEN I HAD A BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE, ONE PARTICULAR SERVICE DEPARTMENT TRIED CHARGING ME $500+ FOR A PART. THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIED ON IT'S OWN ONLY ABOVE 50 MPH, I TRIED IT OUT AND I'LL TELL YOU, IT'S A TWO HANDED FIGHT TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL.

THE GAS GAGE READS THE WRONG SO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN YOUR TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON SO YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT IS GOING OFF FOR A DIFFERENT REASON. THE LOW FULE LIGHT GOES ON ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN IT IS FULL SO YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE GAS ISSUE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR. I HAVE A SECOND CHEVY MALIBU THE SAME YEAR 2006 AND IT DOES THE SAME THING WITH THE FULE GAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ONE TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS GOING OFF ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME BECAUSE OF THE FULE GAGE. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR SEATBELT ON.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND FOR THE LAST YEAR THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE COMES ACROSS MY RADIO DISPLAY EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE IS ON AND STAYS ON. MY POWER STEERING PUMP IS ELECTRIC AND OCCASIONALLY I WILL LOSE MY POWER STEERING WHILE I AM DRIVING

RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A GRAVEL ROAD AND MY TRACTION CONTROL, ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. MY TRACTION CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PATSY LOU WILLIAMSON (LOCATED AT 2100 LINDEN RD, FLINT, MI 48532, (810) 732-7400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4950043584. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

UPON TURNING ON MY VEHICLE, I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO FIRMLY HOLD IT. TEMPORARY FIX HAS BEEN TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU HAS HAD ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION. I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY DANGEROUS CITY HIGHWAY. WITH MY THREE CHILDREN IN CAR. I LOOKED UP AND SAW THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE YEAR AND MAKE OF MY CAR BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DON'T SEE A RECALL UNDER MY SPECIFIC VEHICHLE. I DON'T THINK IT MAKES SINCE AND I DON'T KNOW ANYONE TO FIX IT. BECAUSE MOST CARS HAVE A NORMAL POWER STEERING PUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING ABILITY FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING HAD AN APPROXIMATELY THREE SECOND DELAY WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT INTERMITTENTLY FEB. 2017. GM RECALL PERFORMED (REPLACED STEERING COLUMN AND OTHER COMPONENTS). OCT 2018 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT INTERMITTENTLY AGAIN.DECEMBER 2018 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY. DEALER WHO PERFORMED ORIGINAL RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE DETERMINED CAR NEEDED ANOTHER NEW STEERING COLUMN. CAR TOWED TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ALSO DETERMINED CAR NEEDED ANOTHER NEW STEERING COLUMN. IN SPITE OF KNOWN ISSUE WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND STEERING COLUMNS IN THIS VEHICLE, GM REFUSES TO PAY ANY OF THE APPROXIMATELY $850.00 REPAIR BILL.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL OF THE TIME EXCEPT WHEN FOOT IS RESTING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE OUT THE BRAKE SENSOR AND THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ONE BOTH IN MOTION OR WHEN CAR IS JUST SITTING

DRIVING ON PAVED ROADS . AT ANY TIME. THE CAR SWERVES SLIGHTLY TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT. WITH THE FEELING OF A LOSS OF SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ON EITHER CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN AT NO SPECIFIC INTERVALS.

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN MAY OF 2015. WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILS AND THERE IS A ECM. TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT RESETS. NOW COMPLETELY POWER STEERING FAILING COMPLETELY. SAW THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2015 BUT NEVER RECEIVED A BULLETIN. TOLD BY GM THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE RECALL BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY???

MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES EXTREMELY BAD ILIT ALSO LOCKS UP TO THE POINT THE WHEEL WON'T TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED COMPLETELY. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE AND POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THREE YEARS AGO BY RELIABLE CHEVROLET (3655 S CAMPBELL AVE, SPRINGFIELD, MO 65807) PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

POWER STEERING RANDOMLY FAILS TO ENGAGE WHEN CAR IS STARTED. WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED TWO YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A GM RECALL ON THE STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR. THAT RECALLED PART WAS REPLACED IN 2016; HOWEVER, THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO FAIL. TO DATE, THE POWER STEERING HAS ONLY FAILED WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALER ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. CHEVY DEALER IS UNSURE OF PROBLEM BUT SUGGESTS REPLACING THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MODULE AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY. POWER STEERING FAILURE IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. CLEARLY, CHEVY'S ORIGINAL RECALL AND REPLACEMENT PART DID NOT WORK TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO ENSURE THAT EVERY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU IS CORRECTLY FIXED - IMMEDIATELY.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED. TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN ON AGAIN AND POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND I ALMOST WRECKED. SO I HAD NO POWER STEERING, AND STILL DON'T. IT WILL COME BACK FOR A MINUTE AND THEN GO OUT AGAIN. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT GM HAD RECALLED MY MODEL YEAR MALIBUS, AND OTHERS, FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING. SO I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THAT MY CAR WAS NOT A SUBJECT OF THE RECALL. IF THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME PROBLEM, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. SO I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE TO ME IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY GM, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY SAID, WHICH I GUESS IS JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM! I: HOPE YOU CAN HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. ALSO, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK AND VIBRATED. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (HENNA CHEVROLET, 8805 INTERSTATE 35, AUSTIN, TX) WERE NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000. *TT*JB

2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU: POWER STEERING LOCKS UP! LOCKS UP TO THE POINT IT TAKE TWO PEOPLE TO TURN THE WHEEL, THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING! HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT AND WHEN BULB IS REPLACED THEY BURN INSTANTLY. T/C NEVER TURNS OFF! RECENT COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE IN OTHER STATES HAVE BEEN MADE THERE ARE ALSO EVIDENT RECALLS BUT CHEVROLET FAILS TO HONOR THE RECALL AND REFUSE TO FIX BECAUSE THE CARS ARE 2006 AND THE UEAR NOW IS 2018. THIS IS NOT FAIR! WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO? THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE! IT IS MORALLY UNETHICAL AND ILLEGAL FOR CHEVROLET NOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND HONOR THIS RECALL REGARDLESS IF THE CAR WE HAVE IS USED. IF THE RECALL WAS MADE AND WAS NOT FIXED THEY MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT MADE AND FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE CAR OWNER! I AM SURE CHEVROLET HAS A DATABASE AND IS AWARE AT WHAT AND HOW MANY VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED DUE TO THIS RECALL. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR A LAWSUIT? I DEMAND THAT THIS RECALL BE HONORED AND THIS PROBLEM FIXED ASAP. IF I OR MY FAMILY ARE HARMED DUE TO THIS I WILL SUE SO HELP ME GOD! I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO AGREE THAT WHAT CHEVROLET IS DOING IS WRONG! THE ISSUE HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME THIS YEAR AND HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY!

MY 06 MALIBU HAS INTERMIT POWER STEERING LOSS. I HAVE ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENTS WHEN THE POWER STEERING LOST OCCURRED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT GM HAS RECALLED CERTAIN VEHICLES FOR THIS CONDITION, BUT MINE HAS YET TO RECEIVE THIS RECALL. WHEN WILL GM FIX THE ISSUE WITH ALL VEHICLES EFFECTED BY THIS CONDITION. LOSS OF STEERING WHILE DRIVING IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO A SAFE CONDITION.

THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY GOES OUT WHEN DRIVING AND WON'T WORK AGAIN UNTIL I CUT THE CAR OFF . THE DEALERSHIP WANT TO CHARGE ME $130 TO LOOK AT IT AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIX DURING THE RECALL IN 2015. THIS ISN'T FAIR CHEVY IS SCAMMING US AND POTENTIALY CAUSING INJURIES.

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT COMPLETELY AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED CHEVROLET ABOUT THE RECALL ON IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CLOSED THE RECALL AND ARE NO LONGER FIXING THE ISSUE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO STOP WORKING RANDOMLY. THE REAR BLINKERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY.

POWER STEERING ALERT ON DASHBOARD. POWER STEERING HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MY CAR IN THE PAST AND SIMILAR MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILING OR HAVING ISSUES.

MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE NOTED MOSTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A TURN WHERE I WOULD BE ACCELERATING CAUSING ME TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO COMPLETE THE TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THIS USED CHEVY MALIBU, IF I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE IT SOMETIMES LOCK MYSELF STEERING WHEEL IN POSITION, AND JERKS MY CAR A GOOD BIT. THEN MY CAR GIVES ME A ERROR MESSAGE ON MY RADIO STATING POWER STEERING PUMP FLUID. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND NOBODY COULD FIND IT AND SUGGESTED IT MAY HAVE A FUSE NOT AN ACTUAL RESERVOIR FOR FLUID. IT OCCURS AT WHILE TURNING, DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND ALL OTHER ROADS, GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS OR MOUTAINS. AS WELL AS MY MIDDLE SEAT BELT BUCKLE NO LONGER LATCHING INTO THE BUCKLE WILL HOLD FOR A MOMENT AND THEN AFTER APPLYING BRAKES THE SAFETY BELT WILL DISLODGED FROM THE BUCKLE. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE GAS HAND GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY WILL SITTING STILL WITH THE CAR RUNNING. I CAN FILL THE TANK AND IT WILL SAY IT'S EMPTY AND WILL EVEN HAVE MY ESTIMATE MILES LEFT ALSO SAY LOW FUEL.

MY 2006 CHEVY HAS BEEN HAVING SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE POWER LOCK DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK BY PRESSING THE BUTTON AND INSTEAD WILL ON THEIR OWN LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES WITHOUT THE BUTTONS OR CAR RUNNING FOR SOME INSTANCES OF 1 MINUTE UP TO 5 MINUTES. WE HAVE HAD TO PRY A WINDOW OPEN TO GET INSIDE THE VEHICLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF.

WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED ABOUT 4MONTHS AGO IT WOULD GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ONCE IN A WHILE NOW IT VERY RARELY WILL WORK AT ALL ANYMORE AND IF IT DOES COME ON AT ALL ANYMORE IT TURNS RIGHT BACK OFF. PLEASE HELP MY VIN SAYS I HAVE NO RECALLS AND I KNOW THIS PART HAS TO FALL IN YOUR RECALL LIST BECAUSE IT'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES AS A PROBLEM I CALLED YOUR NUMBER AND THEY SAID RECALL DOESN'T START UNTILL 04/ 06 WHEN THIS VEHICLE SAYS 03/06. WHAT ABOUT THE MALIBU'S THAT WERE RECALLED 2004-2007 IT FALLS ON THERE.

STEERING COLUMN REPLACEMENT 8/17/2009 AND AGAIN 10/29/10 AFTER RECALL. FAILED AGAIN AND JUST HAD TO REPLACE. GM DID NOT NOTIFY CUSTOMERS THAT THERE WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - POWER STEERING ADJUSTMENT ISSUED 5-23-2012. UNDER THIS I WAS COVERED BY MILES BUT NOT BY DATE. THIS WAS CLEARLY A WAY FOR GM TO NOT FIX THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM. THEY CLEARLY KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM BUT DID NOT NOTIFY CUSTOMERS. THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS WORK EVEN THOUGH THEY CLEARLY USED SUB PAR PARTS IN THERE RECALL WORK.

2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO STEERING AND VEHICLE STALLING ISSUES. *SMD *JS

POWER STEERING LOSS: WHEN STARTING THE CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAYS ON THE DASHBOARD AND POWER STEERING IS NO LONGER ACTIVE. IF THE DRIVER STOPS THE VEHICLE AND TURNS THE ENGINE OFF, THE POWER STEERING MAY BE REACTIVATED BY RESTARTING. THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ISSUE SERVICED AT A GM DEALER FOR A TORQUE SENSOR ON 10/8/2014. 3-1/2 YEARS / 30,000 MILES LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME ISSUE (TORQUE SENSOR) AT AROUND $800. THE DEALER AND GM IS REFUSING TO PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THIS CURRENT REPAIR. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS, WHICH APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL YEAR, IS NOT BACKED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, REQUIRING EXTENSIVE EFFORT TO TURN, CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO THIS VEHICLE'S OCCUPANTS AS WELL AS OTHERS. IF A REPAIR FOR A SAFETY RECALL ONLY LASTS 30,000 MILES BEFORE RESURFACING, I WOULD CALL THIS A TEMPORARY BAND-AID, NOT A "REPAIR".

POWER STEERING JUST GOES OUT, NO PATTERN AS TO WHEN IT GOES OUT, VIN NOT ONE OF THE POWER STEERING RECALLS, DON'T KNOW WHY. STARTING TO DO IT FREQUENTLY. HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS STARTED, TURN OFF, START, SEEMS OKAY. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, PULL OVER, TURN OFF, START, SEEMS OKAY. UNPREDICTABLE. STARTED IN FEBRUARY 2018, CONTINUES.

MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY STARTED MOVING BACK AND FORTH WHILE STOPPED OR PARKED. I CALL GM RE: RECALLS. IT SEEMS THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM. MY COWORKER HAS A MALIBU AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. HERS IS 2008. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND HAVE COME ACROSS 25 PEOPLE THUS FAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM

THE POWER STEERING KEEPS COMING ON. BUT ONE I SHUT OFF THE CAR IT GOES AWAY THEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT'LL LOCK UP OUT OF NO WHERE. THE WHEEL LOSES CONTROL WHILE JUST IN PARK. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CLEAR ANSWER ON WHAT IS CAUSING THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED BEFORE OR DURING THE FAILURE. THE DEALER VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NHTSA REGULATED WHAT VEHICLES WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND TO CONTACT NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

TOUQE STEERING SENSOR WAS NOT MESSING UP WHEN RECALL WAS PREFROM FEB 2 2016 AND NOW IT IS AND CHEVY WON'T WARRANTY CAR ONLY HAS 135K

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. WILL GO OFF WHEN FOOT IS TAKEN OFF OF PEDAL, BUT WILL GO BACK ON AND STAY ON WHEN PEDAL IS NOT APPLIED. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN IN NEUTRAL AND IN PARK AND THE CAR IS STATIONARY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS WHERE INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) CONNECTION SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS OR INTERMITTENCY IN THE BRAKE APPLY SENSOR (BAS) CIRCUIT THAT CAN CAUSE BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION. THE BRAKE LAMPS ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED. RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM DATED MARCH 2017, # 13036. THIS RECALL PROBLEM AND NUMBER DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE NHTSA DATABASE.

HEATED SEAT MALFUNCTION: TURNED HEATED SEAT ON LOWEST NUMBER AS WE LEFT HOME AND WITHIN ABOUT 1/4 OF A MILE THE SEAT BECAME EXTREMELY HOT ON MY SONS BOTTOM AND WE STARTED SMELLING A SCENT OF BURNING. MY SON IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEAT AND RAISED UP OFF THE SEAT UNTIL I COULD GET THE CAR PULLED OVER. WHEN HE GOT OUT WE SAW A HOLE HAD BURNED INTO THE SEAT. IT ALSO BURNED A SMALL HOLE IN HIS PANTS. HE COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED IF WE HAD OF NOT BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER QUICKLY.

POWER STEERING MOTOR STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING, CAR HAS ONLY 79K MILES. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WENT BAD, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE?.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE; THE "POWER STEERING" WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK AND VIBRATE. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK AND LOSS POWER CAUSING THE DRIVER MORE OF AN EFFORT TO STEER THE CAR IN THE DIRECTION THAT THE CAR IS GOING SHOULD AS CURVES IF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ON A CURVE THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO GO STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF AROUND THE CURVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSS THE POWER STEERING ABILITY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO OURISMAN CHEVROLET OF BALTIMORE (6633 SECURITY BLVD, WOODLAWN, MD 21207) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IN 2014, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,181.

WARNING COMES ON RADIO WITH WARNING BEEPS AND ALL POWER STEERING IS LOST UNTIL YOU TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART. IT CAN HAPPEN DURING ANY DRIVING SITUATION AT ANY SPEED. THE CAR HAS ALREADY HAD THE INITIAL RECALL TAKEN CARE OF FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM EVEN THO WE NEVER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH IT THEN. NOW EVEN THO ANOTHER RECALL WAS ISSUED THEY SAY MY CAR ISN'T IN THAT GROUP. MAKES NO SENSE.

OUR CAR JUST RECENTLY STARTING HAVING THE POWER STEERING GO OUT. SOMETIMES WHEN WE FIRST START UP THE WARNING BELL SOUNDS AND THERE IS NO STEERING. OTHER TIMES WE CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE WARNING BUZZER SOUNDS AND THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. IT IS A LOT SCARY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE INTERSTATE, RUNNING 75 MPH AND THAT BUZZER GOES OFF. WE WERE TOLD BY THE GARAGE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT IT WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ARE OVER THE 10 YEARS BUT OUR MILEAGE IS AT 103,000 MILES. I WOULD THINK THAT WITH THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, THE RECALL WOULD STILL BE OPEN. WE WERE TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT'S A SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN BUT CAN ONLY BE REPAIRED BY CHEVY.

FUEL PUMP PRESSURE SENSOR NOT WORKING VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE

I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE FUEL LIGHT LEVEL WENT FROM FULL TO EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT "LOW FUEL" LIT UP. THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT SEEMED TO GO BACK TO NORMAL, THAT IS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME AND THE NEXT TIME AND SO ON THAT I FILLED MY GAS TANK. IT IS CURRENTLY DOING THE SAME THING. I DO NOT EVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE NEEDLE GOES UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY.

RECALL 14116, STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR WAS PERFORMED 1 APRIL 2016 AT 37560 MILES. ON APPROX. 1-05-18, AT APPROX. 76000 MILES, THE STEERING FAILED COMPLETELY RESULTING IN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS LESS THAN 2 YEARS AFTER THE RECALL REPLACEMENT. UPON DIAGNOSIS TECHNICIANS FOUND THAT THE STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED. THE MOTOR CONTROL MODULE PROBABLY FAILED DUE TO INCREASED STRESS ON THE SYSTEM DUE TO THE TORQUE SENSOR HAVING FAILED. THE REPAIR SHOP HAD TWO ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENTS FOR THE MOTOR CONTROL MODULE FAIL OUT OF THE BOX BEFORE A GOOD ONE WAS PROVIDED, AND BOTH UNITS HAD TO BE REPEATEDLY TESTED AND ADJUSTED BEFORE ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE WAS REACHED. BASED ON THE HISTORY OF THESE TYPE FAILURES IT IS APPARENT THAT GM HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. IT COST $747.36 FOR PARTS, AND $234.00 LABOR FOR THE REPAIR, NOT INCLUDING TAX. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT GM IS NOT ACTUALLY CORRECTING THE APPARENT DESIGN ISSUES WITH THESE SYSTEMS, BUT IS CONTINUING TO USE THEM IN VEHICLES EVEN WITH THEIR HISTORY OF FAILURE. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFERED NO HELP AT ALL FOR THE COST OF THIS REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEIR PARTS APPEAR TO BE DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN. THEIR ONLY RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY HAD MADE THE RECALL CORRECTIONS AT NO COST ONCE AND WOULD NOT DO IT AGAIN. YET THE OEM REPLACEMENT PARTS FAILED REPEATEDLY OUT OF THE BOX. IT SEEMS THAT GM SHOULD HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY AS THEY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS THAT APPEARS TO FAIL REPEATEDLY..

POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY WORKS THEN DOES NOT WORK AT RANDOM!! I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO A COUPLE OF MECHANICS ALL HAVE INFORMED ME THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME POWER STEERING ISSUES AS ALL THE CARS THAT WERE RECALLED, BEING EITHER FAULTY SWITCH UP UNDER DASH & OR IN THE STEERING COLUMN HOWEVER WHEN I ENTER MY VIN# FOR THE RECALL IT DOES NOT SHOW UP. I AM AFRAID MY CAR WILL CAUSE ME TO CRASH .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER ASKED HIM TO TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST APPEARED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN TO JIMMY GRAY CHEVROLET (181 GOODMAN RD E, SOUTHAVEN, MS 38671 (866) 377-0570) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT TORQUE SENSOR FAILED AND THE STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO COST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING), WHICH WAS GM RECALL NUMBER: 14116, IN JULY OF 2016. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR EXPIRED AFTER TWELVE MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DENNY MENHOLT RAPID CHEVROLET CADILLAC (2323 E MALL DR, RAPID CITY, SD 57701, (605) 343-1282) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V046000 (STEERING), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS OFFERED A REPAIR AT A REDUCED COST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT RANDOMLY SOMETIMES WHILING TURNING AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR FIRST STARTS SOMETIMES. ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING IN THE CAR. IT WAS RECALLED IN 2015 BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING COULD STOP WORKING AT ANY TIME. I TOOK THE CAR IN IN 2015 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED. NOW RECENTLY THE CAR LOSES ITS POWER STEERING WHEN STARTING THE CAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN STATIONARY AND I KNOW ENOUGH NOT TO DRIVE IT, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOW OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS, WHERE THE POWER STEERING IS ENABLED. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED IN 2015 UNDER SAFETY RECALL NUMBER 14772. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP TO GET THIS FIXED AGAIN BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS NOW REOCCURRING AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL STILL.

THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES BACK AND FORTH ON ITS OWN. I HAVE LOSS POWER STEERING POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE ALSO UNEXPECTEDLY DOES A HARD RIGHT ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MALIBUS. IT SEEMS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR OR TORQUE SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING.

ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT THE FIRST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED, MY CAR WAS IN PARK. I STARTED MY VEHICLE, IT DIDNT TURN OVER ON THE FIRST TRY, I SIMPLY TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED BUT A SERVICE MESSAGE POPPED UP STATING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL, MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS SERVICE ENGINE SOON. I LET MY CAR SIT FOR A WHILE AND DECIDED TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND TRY AGAIN, SAME MESSAGE, SEVERAL HOURS LATER IT STARTED FINE, THE HECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND I DROVE IT WITH NO ISSUES, STARTED MY CAR AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AND MY CAR SLOWED DOWN DRASTICALLY AND WOULDNT EXCEED 10 MPH. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE MY CAR FLASHED A WARNED MESSAGE SIMPLY STATING " POWER STEERING" WITH NO NOTICEABLE SIGNS OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING, HOWEVER LAST YEAR I HAD TO REPLACE A SENSOR FOR MY POWER STEERING THAT WAS A RECALL, WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED THEY CLAIMED MY RECALL WAS FIXED AND THEY WOULDNT COVER THE COST, AFTER REPLACING THE RECALL AFFECT SENSOR I NO LONGER HAD THE ISSUE, I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS TO TRY TO FIX THIS ISSUE, SO THE FAULT IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND SEEN THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION.

SHUT OFF CAR TO GET GAS, WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THERE WAS A CHIME AND A MESSAGE THAT READ POWER STEERING. THE CAR HAD NO POWER STEERING. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT, THE POWER STEERING RETURNED. I SAW THAT IN 2014 THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EPS AND I CONTACTED A CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHICH TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS CLOSED IN 2015.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. STEERING SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN MARCH OF 2015. I'VE HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND THE SAME PART IS COMING UP DEFECTIVE AGAIN. OUR 17 YEAR OLD SON DRIVES THIS TO SCHOOL AND WORK AND WE CANNOT ALLOW HIM TO DRIVE IT NOW BECAUSE IT IS VERY UNSAFE. I'VE CALLED CHEVY AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT FOR US. THEY SAID TAKE IT TO A CHEVY DEALER AND UNFORTUNATELY IT WILL BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR SINCE 05/17. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE LIABLE TO PAY FOR THIS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PART IF IT'S BAD AGAIN JUST 2 AND A HALF YEARS LATER. WE NOW HAVE A CAR THAT WE CANNOT OPERATE SAFELY AND CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX SINCE THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. IF THE RECALL DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME HOW CAN CHEVY NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

MY POWER STEERING RANDOMLY GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE AT ONE POINT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAITED FOR A WHILE, AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REACH TO THE DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF MILEAGE AND WARRANTY, AND DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 186,000.

STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKING UP AND POWER STEERING ON THE RADIO

WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH TC LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE WHEEL TURNING OR TO THE BREAKS BEING PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. ABOUT 20 MILES LATER WHILE SLOWING FROM 20 MPH THE TC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE BREAKS FAILED TO WORK CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO STOP WHEN NEEDED. CHECKED ALL TIRES EACH TIME TO MAKE SURE NO FLATS OR OBVIOUS ISSUES AND THERE WERE NONE.

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN A REQUIREMENT TO DRIVE WITH ONLY MANUAL STEERING WHICH REQUIRES GREATER FORCE AND LOWERS THE ABILITY TO REACT QUICKLY TO TRAFFIC PATTERS DRAMATICALLY. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND STOPPED. TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFF RESULTS IN TEMPORARILY RESTORING POWER STEERING. WORTH NOTING, GM SAID THE RECALL WAS CLOSED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE REPAIR WAS ALREADY PERFORMED, BUT FAILED TO BRING RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THEIR SENSOR THAT IS NOW NOT FUNCTIONING AGAIN. PRESUMABLY VEHICLE WAS FIXED WITH ANOTHER FAULTY PART FROM GM OR WAS NEVER ACTUALLY FIXED TO BEGIN WITH. THIS PROBLEM CREATES A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

AS I WAS DRIVING LAST WEEK THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WHILE BACKING UP, A BELL BEGAN RINGING AND I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I THEN NOTICED THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE CAR UP AND TURNED IT OFF. I PHONED THE CHEVROLET COMPANY BOTH IN TOWN AND THE ONE ON THE WEBSITE AND ASKED, " WAS THERE A RECALL ON THE STEERING WHEEL" WAS TOLD NO. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO THE COMPANY AND WAS CHARGED $109.00, THEN WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR MODULE WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF $807.14 AND IF THAT DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM; I WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE A TORQUE SENSOR WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1269.54. I INFORMED THE COMPANY I DIDN'T FEEL THAT'S FAIR BECAUSE PROBLEM IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, NOT ANYTHING I DID. I WAS TOLD IT ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER, BASED ON THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE, I THOUGHT AS LONG AS THE PART WAS IN STOCK IT CAN BE REPLACED. A REPRESENTATIVE WAS TRYING TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY BUT I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT ISN'T, DUE TO THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M CONFUSE WHEN CERTAIN MALIBU'S HAD THIS RECALL, WHY ALL OF THEM WEREN'T AT LEAST CHECKED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE CAR IS OLD, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IT'S MINE AND IT'S ALL I HAVE AND I HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF THE CAR AND IT HAS TAKEN CARE OF ME, NOT ONLY THAT I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR WITH A PART-TIME JOB. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY COMPLAINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MODULE MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED OR REPLACED. JOSEPH CHEVROLET (8733 COLERAIN AVE, CINCINNATI, OH 45251, (513) 741-6700) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

ON 11-18-2017 THE STEERING WHEEL ON THIS CAR STARTS TO MOVE BACK AND FORTH BY ITSELF. WHEN DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING, THEN STARTS WORKING. YOU CAN HEAR A NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN LIKE CRACKLING. SOUNDS LIKE A SENSOR LOOKING FOR SOMETHING. WHEN POWER STEERING IS OUT, CAR CAN BARELY BE TURNED. THIS CAR DID HAVE THE STEERING RECALL WORK DONE ON IT A FEW YEARS AGO. HAVEN'T TALKED TO MY DEALER YET. VERY DANGEROUS. STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TURNED INTO A FUEL STATION WHERE THE VEHICLE REMAINED. THE CONTACT CALLED PARK CHEVROLET KERNERSVILLE (615 NC-66, KERNERSVILLE, NC 27284, PHONE NUMBER: (336) 310-0238) AND WAS INFORMED THAT A RECALL REPAIR WAS ALREADY PERFORMED IN 2015. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT A RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 AND DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 238,000.

STEERING LOCKS UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FEW MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN WHILE ACCELERATING (SUCH AS TURNING LEFT ONTO A BUSY ROAD). SOMETIMES IT HAPPENED UPON ACCELERATION WITHOUT TURNING. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON THIS SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR, HOWEVER, WHEN I TYPE IN MY VIN NUMBER, NOTHING COMES UP. IT IS MOST DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP. I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO IT AT THIS TIME. PLEASE TELL ME IF PERHAPS MY VIN JUST DOESN'T SHOW UP, BUT I MAY BE ABLE TO GET IT FIXED AT NO CHARGE DUE TO THE RECALL THAT INVOLVES VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS/HAZARDS.

ENGINE HAS BEGUN MALFUNCTIONING FOR NO REASON. EXPERIENCED PROBLEM 5 TIMES IN PAST WEEK. 1) VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON FREEWAY. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. RADIO INDICATED "REDUCE ENGINE POWER". I RELEASED GAS PEDAL. RADIO THEN INDICATED "ENGINE DISABLED," AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. COASTED TO A STOP. TURNED KEY TO "OFF" POSITION. TRIED TO RESTART, BUT WOULD NOT CRANK (EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETELY SILENT). TRIED TO CRANK AGAIN A MINUTE LATER. ENGINE STARTED WITHOUT HESITATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT IMMEDIATELY WENT OFF. DROVE STRAIGHT TO MECHANICAL WITHIN 5 MILES. THERE WERE NO CODES TO READ. 2) VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 30 MPH ON CITY STREET, MOVING FORWARD. TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. RADIO READ "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS CHANGED TO "ENGINE DISABLED" AS ENGINE SHUT DOWN. STOPPED CAR. WOULD NOT CRANK. REMOVED KEY AND WAITED ONE MINUTE. CAR CRANKED AND DROVE WITH NO PROBLEM AND NO INDICATOR LIGHTS. 3) VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY. TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. RADIO INDICATED "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" AND THEN "ENGINE DIABLED". ENGINE SHUT DOWN. TURNED KEY TO "OFF" POSITION. WAITED ONE MINUTE. CAR STARTED AND RAN WITH NO PROBLEM AND NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON. 4) SAME INCIDENT IN SAME ORDER WHILE TRAVELING 45 MPH ON SERVICE ROAD. 5) HAPPENED IN SAME MANNER WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON FREEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURES UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHEVROLET OF HOMEWOOD (18033 HALSTED ST, HOMEWOOD, IL 60430, (708) 799-2000) FOR THREE MANUFACTURER RECALLS. WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIR, THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN NOT PUSHING THE PEDAL. AS SOON AS YOU PUSH THE PEDAL, THE LIGHTS GO OUT. YOU COME REALLY CLOSE TO GETTING REAR-ENDED BECAUSE THE PERSON BEHIND YOU DOESN'T REALIZE THAT YOU ARE STOPPING.

POWER STEERING LIGHTS ON DASH BEEPING SOUND AS SOON AS YOU PUT CAR IN GEAR

MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO FLASH POWER STEERING. I WAS TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION AND MY VEHICLE SHOT TO THE RIGHT REALLY HARD. EVERY TIME I AM TURNING ON THE CAR THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE COMES ON BUT, THE POWER STEERING WORKS. I HAVE RESEARCHES AND FOUNS THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL NOT SURE WHAT TO DO.

2006 MALIBU VIN NUMBER SHOWS NO ACTIVE RECALLS BUT MY WIFE WHO DRIVES THE CAR INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WAS ACTING FUNNY SO I TOOK FOR DRIVE AND FIRST TURN WHEEL HESITATED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO TURN AND WHEN IT DID COULD FEEL IT ON THE COLUMN LIKE SOMETHING WAS MOVING THAT WASN'T SUPPOSE TO THIS IS MAIN ROAD THROUGH CITY HEAVY TRAFFIC SO IMMEDIATELY HEADED FOR HOME AND HAVE TO CROSS TRACKS TO GET THERE AND WHEN I WENT OVER SOUNDS LIKE FRONT END WANTS TO COME OFF THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE LOOSE STABILITY BAR OR JOINT AND TO TOP IT OFF I NOTICED FUEL GAUGE WAS GOING FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND BACK UP SO IN ACTUALITY SHE HAS KNOW IDEA HOW MUCH HAS SHE REALLY HAS IN VEHICLE I SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE THINGS HAPPENING TO THIS MODEL AND I SEND MY WIFE AND KIDS OFF DAILY IN THIS VEHICLE WITH THESE PROBLEMS THAT COULD POSE A HUGE THREAT TO THEIR SAFETY IF IT HAPPENS TO HER ON MAIN ROAD OR RR CROSSING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT DISPLAYING THE ACCURATE INFORMATION, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, THE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION AND THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE DTC INDICATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN FOR AN APPOINTMENT AT NUCAR CHEVROLET (174 N DUPONT HWY, NEW CASTLE, DE 19720, (888) 626-3594). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL- THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AT TIMES WHEN I AM TURNING. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL UNLOCK. IT'S SCARY, ESPECIALLY IF I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL LET ME STRAIGHTEN UP MY WHEEL OR NOT AFTER THE TURN.

WHEN ACCELERATING AROUND 2500-3500 RPM YOU WILL HEAR A CHIMING SOUND IN THE CAR ALL INFORMATIONAL DASH LIGHTS (BRAKES,CHECK ENGINE, LOW TIRE PRESSURE.) WILL SHOW UP ALONG WITH A POWER STEERING ISSUE IN THE DIC (DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER.) WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AFTERWARDS. THE SAME ISSUE ON PREVIOUS YEAR AND SOME 2006 MODELS HAVE A RECALL REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE, BUT NOT ALL 2006 MODELS THUS CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR THOSE THAT ARE EFFECTED BY THE POWER STEERING ISSUE, BUT NOT UNDER THE RECALL.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LOCKS UP MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING IN A SHARP TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. AFTER THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED LOW FUEL AFTER A FILL UP OR RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND TO SUPERIOR CHEVROLET (4770 COVINGTON HWY, DECATUR, GA 30035 (404) 857-2830) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE MALFUNCTION. THE SENSOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ENGINE GOES INTO ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE WHILE GOING 55 ON A HIGHWAY AND SOON THE ENGINE BECOMES DISABLED WHICH DISABLES THE STEERING AND THE BRAKES. NO INJURIES AS I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE SITUATION, BUT THIS HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE AND MY CAR READS NO CODES FOR THE SITUATION.

WHEN DRIVING OR NOT MOVING DRIVE SHAFT MAKES A CLINGING NOISE WHEN TURNING CALLED CHEVY THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED UNDER RECALL , HAD A MECHANIC CHEK IT OUT SAY MY FRONT END IS O K .SO I LOOKED UP ON COMPUTER FOR RECALLS .CAR HAS 80000 MILES ON CAR SHAFT WAS REPLACED AT 67000MILES DEFECT IS BACK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED AND THE VEHICLE PULLED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HARBIN CHEVROLET IN SCOTTSBORO, SC) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN OR THE STEERING ASSIST MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

I HAD ONE RECALL ON IT WHEN CHEVY REPLACED A PART IN THE STEERING ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE AFTER. AS OF THE PAST FEW MONTHS THERE IS A RATTLE AND PULSATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND A FEW OF THEM HAD SOME PARTS CHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE LOW RPMS WILL FLUCTUATE AND THE POWER WILL TURN OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THREE CHIMES SOUNDED, THE VEHICLE SEIZED, PULLED TO THE RIGHT, AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IF THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL, IT WOULD CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AT 304-422-6501 AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT THE SHAFT TORQUE SENSOR KIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE A CASE NUMBER OR EMAIL AFTER INFORMING THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 382,000.

TAKATA RECALL I BEARLY MERGED ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR,S STEERING WHEEL GOT HARD TO MANUEVER AND THE VWHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO SLOWLY PULL OVER MY CAR ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY AMD TURNED IT OFF. MY CAR WOULDNT START UP AMD WHEN IT DID MY STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN.

WITHIN ONE MINUTE AFTER ENGINE STARTUP, AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO ZERO WITH ATTENDANT ALARM. IT DOES NOT REGISTER GAS UNTIL ABOUT 30 MILES OF DRIVING BEFORE GAS GAUGE SLOWLY RESETS ITSELF. THE FUEL CAP WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW UNIT BUT IT STILL HAS SAME RESULTS. IF THE TANK IS NOT REFILLED TO TOP AT GAS STATION BUT ONLY PARTIAL REFILL, THEN THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE PROBLEM LIGHT COMES ON UPON FULL FUEL REFILL AFTER ABOVE OUTLINED PROBLEM AND DOES NOT RESET UNTIL ABOUT 70 MILES RUN ON AUTO. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON AUTOS I HAVE OWNED OR CONSULTING WITH OTHERS WITH MORE THAN 45 YEARS OF DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THE TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE CONTACT RECENTLY RECEIVED THE MANUFACTURER LETTER CONCERNING THE WARRANTED REPAIR FOR THE TAIL LIGHT FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE QUALIFYING MILEAGE OF 150,000 AND OVER FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND SLOWED TO A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR SUDDENLY DINGS THREE TIMES. I HEAR A HIGH POPPING NOISE AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT APPEARS ON THE SCREEN. LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. IT TAKES ALL OF MY MIGHT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT ON A RED LIGHT INTERSECTION. I BARELY AVOIDED HITTING THE OPPOSITE CAR THAT WAS GOING LEFT ACROSS FROM ME. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD A RECALL. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MADE EARLIER THAN THE OTHER MODELS, AND THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED IN 2014 ANYWAY. SCARED ME TO DEATH ALMOST HITTING SOMEONE ELSE.

WHILE ACCELERATING QUICKLY TO ENTER A HIGHWAY OR TO PASS A VEHICLE THE CAR LOSES THE POWER STEERING. RESULTING IN TWO NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS. ONCE THE VEHICLE SWERVED INTO THE OTHER LANE ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR, SECOND WHEN THE CAR SWERVED I ALMOST STRUCK A CONCRETE BARRIER. GM IS AWARE AND THE CAR IS LISTED IN A RECALL. GM STATES IT WAS NOT DIRECTLY BUILT IN A PLANT WITH THE DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR. THIS IS UNSAFE.

THE CAR CONSTANTLY SHOWS A DIGITAL MESSAGE SAYING "SERVICE AIR BAGS," IT WAS SERVICED OVER A YEAR AGO IN NY AT A BUICK DEALER, AND THERE WAS A RECALL RELATING TO CHANGING THE KEY FOB. DIDN'T WORK OR MAKE SENSE. IN MN MY MECHANIC HAS LOOKED AT THE ERROR SEVERAL TIMES, CAN'T FIND A CODE, RESETS THE COMPUTER AND THE MESSAGE STILL SHOWS. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT NOW SHOWS AN AIR BAG MALFUNCTION TOO. I CAN'T FIND A RECALL BUT I AM GRAVELY CONCERNED THAT I HAVE NO PROTECTION FOR EITHER PASSENGER. THIS IS MY SECOND REGISTRATION OF THIS COMPAINT AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING>

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BCM WAS CONTROLLING THE CHARGING OF THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH DAMAGED THE BEARINGS AND ALTERNATOR. THE BEARINGS AND ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ALTERNATOR, THE POWER STEERING, HEADLIGHTS, AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHEN THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE, THE DOORS INDEPENDENTLY LOCKED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V224000 (POWER TRAIN), 14V153000 (STEERING), AND 14V252000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 199,000.

MY CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN SERVICED AS A PART OF THE EPS RECALL (N140115- BULLETIN 14116). HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE JUST STARTED EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS WHEN I TURN IT ON: LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER STEERING MESSAGE DISPLAYED IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. IF I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART, SOMETIMES THE MESSAGE AND ERROR GO AWAY, OTHER TIMES IT WILL REMAIN. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO WOBBLES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT REST IF I AM NOT HOLDING THE WHEEL STEADY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURES UNTIL THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE PER AN EPS RECALL. THE CONTACT NOTICED A WEEK AGO THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE UNTIL THE DEALER PROVIDED THE REMEDY. THE VIN AND RECALL DETAILS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

BROUGHT CAN USED 2 MONTHS AGO.CAR NOW IS DISPLAYING POWER STEERING MESSAGE IN DIC, OFTEN. DASH WARNING BLINK AND GO DEAD. FIND A GM SPECIAL MESSAGE THAT ADDRESSES ISSUES FOR ALL MAKES OF GM CARS IN YEAR FRAME, EXCEPT THE MALIBU. SPECIAL MESSAGE #10183. BUT ONLY FOR CARS NO MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD, UNDER 100K. OUR CAR HAS 96K BUT IS 11 YEARS OLD. GM WILL NOT HONOR BECAUSE OF BEING 11 YEARS OLD, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME KNOWN SAFETY PROBLEM MESSAGE ADDRESSES. GM HAS NO RECORD OF EVER FIXING THIS VIN FOR THIS KNOW SAFETY ISSUE, BUT WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER THE MESSAGE. PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE INTERMITTENT ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ISSUES WITH MY 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU 2LT 3.5V6. THE MAJORITY OF THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO THE TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER STEERING, USUALLY DURING ACCELERATION, FOLLOWED BY AN AUDIBLE, MULTI-NOTE CHIME, AND THE WORDS "POWER STEERING" DISPLAYED ON MY RADIO DATA DISPLAY. THIS OCCURRED ALMOST EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN BOTH GM RECALLS #14116 & 10183. FROM RECALL #14116: "THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 14V153." GM HAS DENIED MY CLAIMS CONTENDING THEY ONLY HAVE TO FIX IT IF THE ISSUE RETURNS IMMEDIATELY, EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK THEM 8 YEARS TO ISSUE A RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THE ISSUE HAS NEVER BEEN SATISFACTORILY REMEDIED AND I AM HOPING YOU CAN HELP ME RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITHOUT FURTHER DANGER AND COST TO ME. HISTORY: THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 3/2016 AND TO THE BEST OF KNOWLEDGE, THE ISSUE STARTED WITHIN 3 TO 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. IT WAS ANNOYING, BUT INITIALLY OCCURRED SO INFREQUENTLY AND RANDOMLY THAT IT WAS NOT WORTH FIXING. IT WAS REPAIRED AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES (10/2012) B/C OF RECALL 10183. THE ISSUE WENT AWAY FOR A WHILE, BUT RETURNED AND WAS REPAIRED AGAIN AT ABOUT 88,000 MILES (4/2015). AGAIN IT WENT AWAY AND RETURNED AT ABOUT 2/2016 & 105,000 MILES. IT BECAME VERY DANGEROUS FOR A WHILE, BUT WENT AWAY WITHOUT REPAIR. THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED AGAIN IN 1/2017 AT ABOUT 132,000 MILES AND HAS LEFT ME ALMOST COMPLETELY WITHOUT EPS. ISSUE SPECIFICS: THE PROBLEM STARTED AS TEMP. LOSS OF EPS DURING ACCELERATION FOLLOWED BY CHIMES & A "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE. IT ADVANCED TO INCLUDE LOSS OF EPS DURING ACCELERATION AROUND CORNERS (EX: ON RAMPS) AND THE EPS TRYING TO FORCEFULLY STRAIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT WHILE CORNERING. NOW, I EITHER DO NOT HAVE POWER STEERING AT STARTUP, HAVE A SHAKING STEERING WHEEL OR LOSE EPS DURING TRIPS.

FIRST WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON I WOULDN'T HAVE POWER STEERING SO IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TRY'S TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF TO GET POWER STEERING ON. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I LOST POWER STEER IN MY MALIBU IT FLASHED ON THE SCREEN AND I LOST POWER STEERING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65. SO I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT BECAUSE I SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT SYSTEM. BUT LITTLE TO MY KNOWLEDGE THAT RECALL WAS "FIXED" IN JULY 2015 SO I PASSED THE WARRANTY ON THE RECALLED PART. FIRST CONCERN COMES TO MY MIND IS HOW DOES A COMPANY PUT A ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON A PART THAT ALREADY IS FAULTY. MY NEXT QUESTION IS IF MY CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP FOR THAT RECALL 2 YEARS AGO HOW DO I KNOW THEY ACTUALLY REPLACED THAT PART? I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN SCAMMED BY THE DEALERSHIP SOMEWHERE AND NOW I'M PAYING FOR IT. IT WAS THE SAME EXACT PARTS AS THE RECALL BUT NOW IT'S NO LONGER COVERED, HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED, BUT THE ISSUE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AN AUDIBLE WARNING SOUND ACTIVATED BEFORE THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. UPDATED 05/04/17*LJ *AS

I WAS PICKING UP A FRIEND & THE CAR DROVE SMOOTHLY TO THEIR DESTINATION. I STOP THE CAR & PUT THE CAR IN PARK MODE, RIDER GOT IN & I PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE MODE. A FEW MOMENTS LATER IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET I TOOK A LEFT TURN & THE STEERING WHEEL RIPPED ITSELF OUT OF MY HANDS STRAIGHTENING ITSELF OUT. POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE CENTER CONSOLE, I HAD NO POWER STEERING DURING THE LEFT TURN & ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. I HAD TO MUSCLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO SAFETY & PULL OVER. AS OF RIGHT NOW I AM STILL FACING THIS ISSUE, POWER STEERING IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE & THE PROBLEM IS WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ONLINE ONLY TO FIND OUT I WASN'T ALONE, MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AS I DID. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING REQUIRING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED, BUT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS FAILED 2 MORE TIMES SINCE THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THE SECOND REPLACEMENT OCCURRED 11,210 MILES LATER AND WAS COVERED UNDER THE 12,000 MILE PART WARRANTY, BUT THE THIRD REPLACEMENT OCCURRED WITH 29,917 MILES AND WAS NOT COVERED BY THE 12,000 MILE PART WARRANTEE. THE RESULTING REPAIR WAS $348.08. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART #23232310 "SENSOR KIT-SH" IS NOT FUNCTIONING ANY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINALLY RECALLED PART AND THE RECALL IS NOT A LONG TERM SOLUTION TO THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. THIS RECALL WAS MADE BECAUSE IT EFFECTS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING OF THE VEHICLE WHICH WHEN LOST: "THE VEHICLE WILL REVERT TO A MANUAL STEERING MODE, BUT WOULD REQUIRE GREATER DRIVER EFFORT AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH".

POWER STEERING FAILS WHILE DRIVING. STEERING WHEEL ALSO TURNS BY ITSELF WHEN PARKED.

WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY IT PULLS REALLY HARD TO THE RIGHT JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HAND. THERE IS A TEMPORARY LOSE OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I CHECKED MY VEHICLES VIN TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS THAT IT WOULD FALL UNDER AND IT DID NOT SEEM TO MATCH ANY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN AND I AM GLAD THAT THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER HAS BEEN AT THE WHEEL. I BELIEVE THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING GM SHOULD FURTHER LOOK INTO BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT ALSO DO NOT FALL UNDER A RECALL. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS DEFECT AND SHOULD NOT BE FIXED AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY BEEN SHAKING WHEN I TURN IT ON. THE WHEEL ITSELF WILL START TO SHAKE AND ONCE IN AWHILE MY CAR WILL SAY "POWER STEERING" I RECENTLY GOT THE ALIGNMENT DONE HOPING THAT WOULD HELP BUT IT HASN'T. IT WILL ALSO SHAKE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TWO KIDS AND DON'T THINK THIS IS SAFE TO BE DRIVING!

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES ON ITS OWN. LOSS OF POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING PROBLEM ON DIC. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND PARKED.

WHEN FILLING CAR WITH GASOLINE THE FUEL INDICATOR REPEATEDLY FLIPS BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY WITH INDICATOR LIGHT AND BELL AND AT THE SAME TIME AS FILL UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON

EARLIER IN THE DAY THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MOVING SLIGHTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS BETWEEN 0-55 MPH. THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND SHUT OFF FOR 5 MINUTES WHILE I WENT INTO A STORE TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT AND STARTED MY CAR THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR 15 MINUTES AND STARTED IT AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SLIGHTLY MOVING FROM SIDE TO SIDE ON ITS OWN. ONE HOUR LATER I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. THERE HAS BEEN NO POWER STEERING FOR TWO DAYS. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE POWER STEERING ELECTRONIC ASSIST MOTOR WHICH WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE GM POWER STEERING RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE POWER STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V046000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A POWER STEERING ISSUE WITH MANY 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU'S AND MINE WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY POWER STEERING FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS AND EVERY YEAR IT GOES OUT BETWEEN THE WINTER MONTHS OF JANUARY-MARCH. AND EVERY YEAR I AM TOLD THAT MY CAR IS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. I HAVE HAD LIGHTING ISSUES, ELECTRICAL ISSUES, AND POWER STEERING ISSUES BACK TO BACK. THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE THEY ALL SEEM TO MALFUNCTION ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND/OR WHILE I'M DRIVING OR PARKED. I HAVE CHILDREN BUT I'M SCARED TO HAVE THEM IN MY CAR. PLEASE HELP ME, I KNOW THAT THIS IS APART OF THE RECALL THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I WILL ATTACH A PHOTO BUT I ALSO HAVE VIDEO.

2013 CAR LOSS POWER STEERING COLUMN REPLACED UNDER SPECIAL POLICY #10183A CAR AGAIN LOSS POWER STEERING JAN. 2017 4 YEARS AFTER FIRST REPLACEMENT AND 50000 MILES HAD TO REPLACED STEERING COLUMN AGAIN GM WILL NOT COVER SECOND REPLACEMENT NEED TO BE RECALLED AGAIN THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD STEERING FAIL DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. *TR

IT FEELS LIKE YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND GETS HARD TO TURN RIGHT BEFORE YOU LOSE THE POWER STEERING WHEEL SHAKES REAL BAD AND RADIO HAS ON IT POWER STEERING I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE SAFEST THING TO HAVE FALL ON CAR MY CAR WAS MADE 4 /6 /06 AND I SEE THERE IS RECALL FOR SAME THING FOR CARS MADE ON 4/18/06 AND I DON'T THINK THAT RIGHT THAT'S MY CAR IS NOT COVERD AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THERE F---- UP I GEUSS IT NOT A PROBLEM UNTELL I GET IN A ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE GETS HURT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION AND CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY AND LOSSES POWER ASSIST IN ALL THOSE AREAS TO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING AND AIR BAG SENSOR WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

PERIODICALLY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND POWER STEERING QUITS WORKING. THIS WOULD OCCUR ON MEDIUM TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER STATED SL-N-SENSOR NEEDED REPLACED. REPLACEMENT KIT WAS 06552-PC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WOULD LOCK AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE, WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SENSOR FAILED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

CAR HAS STARTING ISSUES. TURNS OVER BUT DOESN'T START. HAVE TO TRY AGAIN WHILE GIVING GAS. DOES THIS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. HAVE HAD STARTER REPLACED YET IT STILL OCCURS. HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS.

ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER WHILE ACCELERATED, CHIME SOUNDED

I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AND IT SAID ENGINE POWER DECREASING AND THEN STARTED MAKING STRANGE MESSED UP NOISES AND I COASTED INTO THE PARKING LOT IT DIDN'T DIE BUT IT WOULDN'T LET ME GO ANY FASTER. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM PUT A SCANNER ON IT. OF WHICH IT SHOWED MULTIPLE CODES ALL RESULTING IN THE SAME ISSUE THE MASS FLOW SENSOR. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE IT'S LIABLE TO KEEP HAPPENING MAKING MY VEHICLE UNRELIABLE AND I AM A SINGLE MOM.

AT RANDOM TIMES DURING HEAVY ACCELERATION (GETTING ON FREEWAY OR HITTING PASSING GEAR) THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT AND YOU HAVE TO FIGHT TO KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL, AFTER 3 TO 5 SECONDS STEERING COMES BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN DURING A U-TURN AS WELL. I HAVE CHECKED RECALL'S AND EVEN CALLED GM AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECK BY A LOCAL SHOP AND EVERYTHING SEEM TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. I WAS TOLD BY GM TO TAKE THE CAR TO A CERTIFIED GM DEALER AND CHECKED AND FIXED, MY ONLY PROBLEM IS IF ONE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND IT WILL PAYING A GM MECHANIC FIND IT? OR WILL I BE OUT MY TIME AND CASH AS THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN EVER IT WANTS TO AND IS NOT CONSISTENT AT ALL.

STEERING IS LOCKING UP RANDOMLY AT TIMES. POWER STEERING CUTS OUT RANDOMLY AT TIMES MAKING CAR VERY HARD TO STEER AND CONTROL. NOTE: GM HAS A RECALL FOR THIS ON CERTAIN CHEVY MALIBU'S FROM 2006 TO 2007. GM RECALL NUMBER I BELIEVE IS 14772. GM IS REFUSING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR MY VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL.

"CHECK ENGINE WARNING & T/C CONTROL WARNING". WARNING LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE AND "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" FLASHES. REGARDLESS OF CURRENT MPH TRAVELING, THE ENGINE WILL LUNGE FORWARD AND IMMEDIATELY REDUCE SPEED TO 10 MPH. UPON THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO BE CHECKED. BECAUSE THE LIGHTS HAD GONE BACK OFF, THERE WAS NO WAY TO INDICATE THE PROBLEM. WITHIN THE FEW FOLLOWING DAYS, WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND POURING RAIN, AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING, THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND REDUCED SPEED TO 10 MPH, VERY NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS ISSUE CONTINUED TO OCCUR EVERY DAY FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK, SOMETIMES 2-3 TIMES DAILY. THE CAR IS NOW IN TO BE REPAIRED, AND ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR BECAUSE IT LUNGED FORWARD SUDDENLY PULLING INTO THE DEALERSHIP. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP'S REPAIR SHOP, THE ISSUE IS SEVERAL THINGS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY AND ASSOCIATED SENSORS. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE BEGINNING REPAIR COST IS $550 TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ALONE. THERE ARE 5 RELATED CODES AND DEPENDING AS TO WHETHER REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY FIXES THE PROBLEM WILL DETERMINE IF FURTHER REPAIRS ARE NEEDED. THE CAR IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ON SEVERAL OF THE MALIBU FORUMS THIS IS AN ONGOING COMPLAINT WITH THIS MODEL. SEVERAL RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM OF MODEL YEARS BEFORE AND AFTER THE 2006 MODEL, AND THE 2006 SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED AS WELL. THIS ABSOLUTELY POSES A SAFETY RISK TO ALL IN THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY OTHERS AROUND IT ON THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE BEING OPERATED AT A LOW SPEED. THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS REMEDIED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000(STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250,000.

POWER STEERING WAS FIXED 2 YEARS AGO DUE TO RECALL. NOW THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING, BUT WORSE NOW. LOSING POWER STEERING MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT DRIVING (ONE TRIP). GM REFUSES TO FIX IT AGAIN. I THINK IT'S UNFAIR FOR THEM NOT TO FIX WHAT IS THEIR FAULT. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO PULL OVER & CUT THE CAR OFF & CRANK IT BACK UP, ONLY FOR IT TO KEEP DOING THE SAME THING. IT HAPPENS EVERY 4 MILES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATING TO THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000.

WHEN PUTING THE CAR IN PARK THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE COMPUTER INFO SECTION AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN BUT IT PULSED OR VIBRATED BACK AND FORTH SIDE TO SIDE. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES AND IT EVENTUALLY STEERING CAME BACK AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WENT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS MORNIG 12/05/2016 WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN WITHOUT STRAINING HARD. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK BUT IT STARTED THE PULSING AGAIN. CAR WAS STILL STATIONARY BUT I HAVE TO DRIVE IT TODAY. PRAY FOR ME.

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS FOR YEARS TO MY DEALERSHIP AND HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE PROPER HELP TO GET THESE PROBLEMS TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS DEALING WITH SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. MY CAR STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP AS SOON AS I TURN THE CAR ON OR EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A HAZARD AND LIFE THREATENING. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR DID NOT HAVE A POWER STEERING PROBLEM. BUT MY CAR WAS NOTIFYING ME ON THE SCREEN THAT IT WAS MY POWER STEERING AND THE WHEEL LOCKS UP AS WELL AS CONTINUES TO SHAKE. IT IS STILL CURRENTLY HAPPENING AND GETTING WORSE. MY STEERING SHAFT MAKES A LOT OF NOISE AND I CAN FEEL IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN I DRIVE. MY BREAK LIGHTS AS WELL AS HEAD LIGHT BULBS ARE ALWAYS GOING OUT AND KEEP HAVING TO BUY NEW ONES. I KNOW THEY WILL G OUT SOMETIMES, BUT HOW OFTEN MINES GOES OUT IS NOT NORMAL. THE AIRBAG ICON ON MY DASHBOARD AS WELL AS THE READING ON MY SCREEN SHOWS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY AIRBAG. I'M AFRAID THAT ONE DAY IT WILL JUST EXPLODE IN MY FACE. I ALSO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDOWS AND LIGHTS IN MY CAR. THE WINDOWS GET STUCK AND ONLY ONE LIGHT IN MY CAR WORKS (ONE OF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS). I HAD MY TRANSMISSION CHECKED OUT AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM (BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT ABOUT ME POWER STEERING) AND I END UP PAYING TO GET MY SOLENOIDS REPLACED, BUT I WAS NOT REIMBURSED WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE TRANSMISSION RECALL. LIKE I'VE SAID, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET ASSISTANCE FROM THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR YEARS WITH THESE PROBLEMS, BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. I REALLY FEEL MY LIFE IS IN DANGER WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH THIS CAR AND I DO NOT FEEL I AM GETTING THE NECESSARY HELP I NEED. CAN SOMEONE JUST PLEASE ASSIST ME AND HELP GET THESE PROBLEMS TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

MY CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR.IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREET. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND NOT TURNING.

THE STEERING GOES OUT WHILE MAKING TURNS AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. YOU CAN FEEL IT JERK THEN YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF WHERE THE CAR IS GOING. TO GAIN CONTROL BACK YOU KEEP TURNING THE WHEEL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION UNTIL IT CATCHES. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS. I HAVE PAID SEVERAL MECHANICS TO REPAIR PROBLEM BUT I STILL GET THE SAME RESULT AND I WEAR OUT NEW TIRES IN 3- 4 MONTH PERIOD. NO ONE SHOULD PURCHASE AS MANY TIRES AS I DO! I AM SICK OF IT!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN PARALLEL PARKING AND MOST RECENTLY HAS STARTED TO GO OUT WHEN TURNING, MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD TO STEER. WHEN PARALLEL PARKING, THE WHEEL STIFFENS SIGNIFICANTLY AND MAKES IT EXTREMELY HARD TO PARK. RESTARTING THE CAR WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE BRIEFLY BUT THE STEERING WILL BECOME HARD WITHIN ONE OR TWO SPINS. I PREVIOUSLY TOOK THIS CAR IN FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR RECALL, 14772. THIS SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS REQUIRED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE LOCKS UP WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. IT HAPPENS UNDER LOW SPEEDS IN STREET TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN HAVING TO ACCELERATE AT TURNS, AS WELL AS HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN ACCELERATING TO GET ONTO ONRAMPS. IT HAPPENS IF I ACCELERATE QUICKLY AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AND I LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DASH BOARD ENTIRELY LIGHTS UP, MAKES A CHIME SOUND AND BLINKS. IT THEN WILL RESUME NORMAL OPERATION ONCE I RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL 14772 BUT IT IS EXACTLY HAPPENING AS DESCRIBED.

MY CAR DOES NOT REGISTER GAS PROPERLY. THE GAS HAND IS IRRATIC AND CONTINUOUSLY FLUCIATES FROM FULL TO EMPTY REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS. BECAUSE OF THE UNRELIABILITY OF THE GAS HAND, I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THEINTERSTATE! NO FURTHER EXPLANATION OF THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SHOULD BE NEEDED. AT TIMES THE CAR FAILS TO START AND IDLE PROPERLY. BOTH ISSUES ARE DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL CIRCUIT SENSOR LOCATED INSIDE THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX DUE TO LOCATION OF THE SENSOR. PLEASE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL/ I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY MALIBU AND IN THE PAST MONTH EVERY TIME I CHANGE THE TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHT BULBS THEY ARE ALWAYS BLOWING FOR NO REASON. AND MY CAR IS STARTING TO GET A LOUD SOUND WHEN I DRIVE IT AND STEERING IS GETTING HARD SOMETIME. I'VE LOOKED FOR POWER STEERING TO CHECK FLUID BUT EVERYONE SAYS MINE IS ELECTRIC SO I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS ELECTRIC AND I NEEDED TO FIX THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY IN MY STEERING. I PRETTY SURE THERE IS A RECALL ON THAT PART. AND ALSO I THINK THERE A RECALL ON A PART ON MY TRANSMUTATION. I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT RECALLS ON MY CAR. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME CAUSE I'VE GOT MY KIDS AND GRANDKIDS THAT RIDE IN IT EVERY DAY. PLEASE HELP ME.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE REDUCED POWER ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TSC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON. THE GAS PEDAL WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN ALSO I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY THANKFUL I ABLE TO. I DID GET IT HOME SLOWLY THE PEDAL IS STILL UNRESPONSIVE AT THIS TIME AND THE ENGINE LIGHT, TSC LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT IS STILL ON.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE TURNS OFF COMPLETELY. WHEN BROUGHT IN TO BE LOOKED AT THE SYSTEM SAID THAT THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE CANT USE HEATER OR A/C WITHOUT THE CAR DYING 100% OF THE TIME.

I BROUGHT OUR 2006 MALIBU MAXX IN FOR A 5000 MILE TIRE BALANCE AND ROTATION.. I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD TWO MORE BENT RIMS ON THE CAR.. THIS AFTER REPLACING TWO ALREADY SEVERAL YEARS BACK.. I WAS INFORMED BY THE TIRE TECH THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CHEVY RIMS AND THAT THEY ARE SEEING THIS SOFT RIM PROBLEM ON A REGULAR BASIS.. THIS CAN GET EXPENSIVE QUICK AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF AND WHEN A RECALL WILL BE INITIATED? SOFT RIMS CAN CAUSE COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE AND BLOWOUTS WITHOUT WARNING AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAN BE CATASTROPHIC...

I CONTACT GM REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY SAID SINCE THE WORK WAS COMPLETED BY A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO MEANWHILE I HAVE TO LET IT WARM UP DAILY (EVEN AT 50 DEGREES +) AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

I DID BUY THIS CAR USED, BUT UPON TEST DRIVE NOTHING WRONG. 5 MONTHS LATER I HAVE A CLICKING IN STEERING, AND RUBBING SOUND, AND AS I GO DOWN THE ROAD IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FRONT END IS FALLING OFF. SERIOUSLY NEED HELP ON FIXING THIS ISSUE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS PULLING OUT MY DRIVEWAY AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND IT STARTED TWITCHING SO I HURRIED UP AND PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE BUT EVERYTHING STARTED TO BLANK AND THE CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF A CAR. THERE WAS TWO GUYS IN THE CAR THAT HELPED ME PUSH MY CAR BACK IN MY YARD. I LET MY CAR REST FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AND WENT OUT AND TRIED TO MOVE IT BUT ONCE I CRANCKED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN GEAR THE WHEEL WAS STILL LOCKED LIKE...I CAN NOT FULLY TURN LEFT OR RIGHT ALL THE LIGHTS START TO BLANK AND THE WHOLE CAR SHUTS OFF.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE POWER STEERING RECALL AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT HAD A GAS CAP MESSAGE. THERE APPEARED TO BE SOME BLACK GUNK AROUND THE GAS CAP AREA. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW GAS CAP. ALTHOUGH THEY REPLACED THE GAS CAP, SOON AFTER THE MESSAGE RETURNED. I AM ALERTED TO IT EACH TIME I START MY CAR, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR NOW. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING WRONG BUT I DON'T DRIVE IT FAR FROM HOME BECAUSE OF THIS MESSAGE. I FEEL THAT WHEN THEY REPAIRED THE POWER STEERING THEY TRIGGERED THIS "EVENT" TO OCCUR. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, IT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT IN NEED OF A NEW GAS CAP AS THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.

I'LL START BY SAYING MY VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 84,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURRED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND IS VERY WELL CARED FOR AND MAINTAINED. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT I NOTICED THAT MY BREAK LIGHTS WERE NOT COMING ON WHEN I PRESSED THE BREAK (I DIDN'T SEE THEM ILLUMINATING THE CAR BEHIND ME). WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC I NOTICED THAT IF I PRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL AS FAR AS IT COULD GO THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. THE BREAKS LIGHTS THEN STARTED WORKING PROPERLY FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, THEN THEY STARTED WORKING IN REVERSE ORDER (BREAKS NOT PRESSED AND LIGHT SWITCH ON, BREAKS PRESSED AND BREAK LIGHTS SWITCH OFF). I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO A CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT, AND REFERENCED THAT IT WAS SHOWING THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V252000. THE DEALER NOTED THAT I HAD ALREADY HAD THE REPAIRS FOR 14V252000 BACK IN 2014 SO IT COULD NOT BE DUE TO THAT ISSUE. IN THE END THE DEAL CHANGED MY BREAK SWITCH AND PEDAL POSITION SENSOR, WHICH HAS RESOLVED THE ISSUE. I WOULD ASK THAT 14V252000 BE UPDATED TO REQUIRE THE BREAK SWITCH AND PEDAL POSITION SWITCH BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE GM'S RESPONSE TO ORIGINAL COMPLAINTS OF 14V252000 IS NOT ADEQUATE. I AM FORTUNATE TO BE VERY OBSERVANT OF WHAT MY VEHICLE IS DOING, OTHERS WILL BE MUCH LESS FORTUNATE AND THE RESULTS WILL LEAD TO A CRASH.

STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT. IT CONTINUED SHAKING EVEN WHEN CAR WAS COMPLETED STOPPED. HAD TO SHUT CAR OFF TO STOP THE STEERING WHEEL FROM SHAKING.

THE SOMETIMES WILL NOT START. IT'S LIKE IT'S NOT READING THE KEY. I HAD THE CAR FOR A MONTH AND BOUGHT 6 KEYS AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED FROM PAUL CONTE CHEVROLET IN FREEPORT, NY AND IT HAD 3 RECALLS THAT WERE NOT FIXED BEFORE SELLING IT TO ME. NOW MY POWER STEERING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TWITCH UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN BECOME STIFF, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO STEER. I ENDED UP PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS TO THE TUNE OF ALMOST $1700.00 TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING MOTOR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT GM RECALLED MANY VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AS MY CAR BUT FOR MY SPECIFIC VIN ONLY THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR WAS RECALLED. I DID GET THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR RECALL FIXED BUT MY STEERING WAS STILL MESSED UP. THIS RECALL DID NOT FIX MY VERY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE. IT WAS ONLY AFTER I AUTHORIZED THE STEERING COLUMN AND MOTOR REPAIRS THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS SAYING THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS THE GM RECALL FOR OTHER MALIBU'S, BECAUSE MY SPECIFIC VIN DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL, I WILL NOT BE GETTING REIMBURSED. IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT GM BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. THIS SERIOUS STEERING ISSUE COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO CRASH. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST GM FOR FAILURE TO RECALL ALL VEHICLES THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THIS POWER STEERING ISSUE AND ALSO REQUEST THAT THEY REIMBURSE ME FOR FIXING AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE I EVEN BOUGHT THE CAR.

MY 2006 MALIBU SHUT OFF WHILLE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE KEY WAS BUMPED AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT THE TIME. THE IGNITION SWITCH IS VERY LOOSE. I AM NOT SURE WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2006 MALIBU?

THE STEERING WHEEL WILL GET HARD TO TURN USUALLY WHEN I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING LANES ON THE INTERSTATE AND ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES AN ALARM WILL COME ON AND A LIGHT WILL COME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN GO OFF. HERE LATELY THE ALARM IS NOT COMING ON. IT IS GETTING WERE IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, AT LEAST A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK NOW. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS DONE ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT IS SCARY BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF I CAN TRUST MY CAR WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE.

BEFORE I SEEN IT WAS IN HERE, MY INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WENT OUT ON MY CAR, AND I REPLACED IT. I SAW THE RECALL IN HERE AND CALLED DORMAN TO HAVE THEM REIMBURSE ME 258.00 FOR THE PART, BUT THEY SAID THAT THEIR NOT RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE THE PART AS YOUR INF0RMATION IN HERE STATES, SO WHO IS IN CHARGE? I HAVE PROOF I HAD TO REPLACE IT AND CAN DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION. I JUST WANT THE 258.00 I PAID TO REPLACE IT. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING WHEN I HEARD THE NOISE AS I WOULD STEER TO THE RIGHT MORE THAN THE LEFT BUT BOTH SIDES MADE NOISE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED FOR A MOMENT; THEN, IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE SIGNAL LIGHT SOUNDED, BUT THE SIGNAL LIGHT WERE NOT ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND AND I, COUPLE OF TIMES' I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. I CALLED CHEVROLET (DEALER) THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS. I CALLED A FRIEND OF MINE; HE'S A MECHANIC AND TOLD ME THAT HE DID NOT KNOW EITHER. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING, I LOSE CONTROL OF POWER STEERING FOR A BRIEF TIME. POWER STEERING FLASHES ON MY CONSOLE RIGHT BEFORE THIS OCCURS. THE FIRST TIME, I ALMOST COLLIDED WITH AN 18 WHEELER WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. UPON GOING TO THE DEALER, I WAS ADVISED IT IS MY MALIBU'S ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR. THIS PART IS COVERED UNDER THE 2008 MALIBU RECALL AND CERTAINLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE 06! THIS IS A GRAVE SAFETY ISSUE THAT MANY ARE EXPERIENCING.

IF YOU THINK GM HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCHES HERE IS A BIGGER ONE. I HAVE OWNED GM SINCE 1972 AND HAVE ALWAYS FOUND THAT THE DELCO BATTERIES ARE THE BEST. YOU COULD GO 8 TO 8 1/2 YEARS BEFORE YOU NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY BECAUSE AN INTERNAL PLATE WOULD SEPARATE FROM THE BANK OF PLATES. BUT SOMETHING CHANGED IN THE 1990S.I HAVE HAD TWO DELCO BATTERIES DO THIS AND I READ ABOUT A MAN IN FLORIDA THAT DIED IN HIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO HIM. YOUR GET IN YOUR VEHICLE, START THE ENGINE, PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, THE DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATE, AND THE ENGINE QUITS. YOU PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK, AND TRY STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN, NOTHING !! ALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS ARE DEAD. THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE AND POST HAVE SEPERATED FROM THE BATTERY. TO GET OUT OF THE CAR YOU HAVE TO TRIP THE MANUAL DOOR LOCKS. IF SOMEONE HOLDS THE POST BACK INTO THE BATTERY YOU WILL HAVE POWER BUT AS SOON AS THEY LET GO, ALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS DIE. THINK OF IT THIS WAY. YOU ARE HEADING HOME AFTER A HOLIDAY, ON AN EXPRESSWAY IN THE COUNTRY, DOING 70 MPH, IN THE DARK. BUMPER TO BUMPER. THE POSITIVE BATTERY POST BREAKS LOOSE. YOU NOW HAVE NO HEAD LIGHTS, NO HORN, NO TURN SIGNALS, NO BRAKE LIGHTS, NO BODY LIGHTS,NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES, ALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS HAVE DIED. YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN OF A GHOST SHIP AND THAT DRIVER THAT YOU KNOW WAS BEHIND YOU WILL ONLY HAVE A SECOND TO REACT WHEN HIS HEADLIGHTS PICK YOU UP. GM NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT.

AFTER (2-3) RECALLS ON STEERING, AFTER STEERING SENSORS REPLACED ALSO, VEHICLE OKAY FOR ABOUT A MONTH, THEN BACK TO SAME STEERING LOSS ISSUES. LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND RUMBLING OF THE STEERING COLUMN, TO THE POINT IT FEELS LIKE THE COLUMN AND A TIRE IS GOING TO FALL OFF ! MY FIRST INCIDENT STARTED BACK IN 2013-14, TOTAL STEERING LOSS AND HIT A GUIDE RAIL CAUSING DRIVER FRONT FENDER DAMAGE. AFTER SEVERAL RECALL REPAIRS, VEHICLE STILL RECREATES SAME DANGEROUS FAILING STEERING SITUATION ! MY FAMILY IS SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE, ITS AN ACCIDENT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS IS A TOTAL COLUMN PROBLEM IN THESE 2006 MALIBU'S, NOT JUST SENSORS, SWITCHES, ETC. THESE STEERING COLUMNS NEED REPLACED. ACCIDENTS ARE INEVITABLE IF NOT ADDRESSED TOTALLY. SHAME ON GM FOR TRYING TO PIECE THIS PROBLEM OUT AS CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE. CONCERNED, TED MEIXELSBERGER

VEHICLE TAKEN TO BLOOMSBURG PA. CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR BULLETIN 14116. EPS MOTOR CONTROLLER WAS NOT REPLACED AS PER RECALL STATES TO REPLACE. REPEATED CALLS AND VISITS TO DEALERSHIP HAS YIELDED NO RESULTS. THERE INVOICE AFTER SAID REPAIRS WHERE MADE, CLEARLY SHOWS THAT JUST SENSOR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 10 TO 15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED MOMENTARILY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE CONTACT COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

MY CAR MAKES CREAKING NOISES WHEN TURNING RIGHT. I HAD TWO OPINIONS AND BOTH SAID INTERMEDIATE DRIVE SHAFT. I HAD IT FIXED BUT IF ITS A RECALL CAN I GET REIMBURST TO PAY DOWN MY CREDIT CARD?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT, IMMEDIATELY AFTER RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS MAKING EITHER A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, A CLICKING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND APPEARED TO OCCUR IN WET WEATHER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I GOT INTO MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU LTZ (I'M NOT AN OVERWEIGHT PERSON, I WEIGH 192LBS AT 6FT TALL) AND THE FRONT SEAT COLLAPSED BACKWARDS AND TO THE RIGHT. APPARENTLY THE SUPPORT BAR UNDERNEATH THE SEAT HAD BROKEN AT THE WELD. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST NEARLY $1000 TO REPAIR AS THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT SEAT. SUBSEQUENT SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET SHOW THIS IS APPARENTLY A PRETTY WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING OR DURING AN ACCIDENT, I MAY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR OR BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AS THE COLLAPSE WAS SUDDEN AND VIOLENTLY THREW ME BACKWARDS. I REALLY THINK CHEVY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. AS I NOTED ABOVE, THE BREAK WAS AT THE WELD NOT IN THE BAR ITSELF. THIS MEANS THAT EITHER THEY NEED BETTER WELDS OR MORE SUPPORT UNDERNEATH THE SEAT.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY POWER STEERING OVER THE YEARS. BUT THIS WAS THE WORST IT HAS EVER BEEN. I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ROADS WERE CLEAR ON THIS SPRING DAY. MY TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE POWER STEERING WAS CHIMING AND THE ALERT CAME ON FOR THAT WHICH EFFECTED MY POWER STEERING. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF ALONG WITH THE GAUGES NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THEN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT COMPLETELY OUT. SO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPLACED. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, THIS ALL REPEATED AGAIN. SO THIS TIME THE IGNITION WAS REPLACED. AFTER ALL THAT, THE POWER STEERING STILL CHIMES AND ALERTS STILL COME ON WHICH MAKES IT HARDER TO STEER. THEN I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF, WAIT AND RESTART IT. THEN IT IS FINE FOR A WHILE. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE ONLY CODE THAT SHOWS UP IS FOR THE 14772 RECALL. BUT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN JANUARY OF 2006. PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH AND EXPAND THE CURRENT RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL 2006-2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU AND MALIBU MAXX VEHICLES. REPAIRS NEED TO BE DONE ON THESE VEHICLES ASAP TO ANY FATAL OR POTENTIAL CRASHES.

VEHICLE STEERING DOES NOT FULLY RESPOND WHEN ENTERING TURNS, CURVES IN THE ROAD AT TIMES. THIS IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT MORE TIMES THAN NOT. CHEVROLET DEALER DIAGNOSIS IS FAULTY POWER ASSIST MOTOR, MODULE STEERING GEAR AND INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. MY INQUIRES ON WHY THESE MAJOR COMPONENTS HAD FAILED HAVE GONE UNANSWERED. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. DO HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION. SIGN, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL), 14V153000 (STEERING), AND 14V224000 (POWER TRAIN). THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 228,178.

WHEN I ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO ENTER TRAFFIC, MERGE WITH TRAFFIC OR PASS A CAR (GOING 25 - 50 MPH), I HEAR DING, DING, DING WARMING BELL AND THE STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND MOMENTARILY BECOMES LOCKED. I GRAB IT WITH BOTH HANDS AND LET OFF THE GAS AND IT RECOVERS. IT IS TOTALLY UNMANAGEABLE FOR THOSE MOMENTS AND VERY ALARMING. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE NOV, 2011 FOR POWER STEERING PROBLEMS/RECALLS. THIS CURRENT PROBLEM IS A SAFETY FACTOR!!!! UPDATED 09/15/15*LJ.....UPDATED 10/01/15*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING COLUMN AND COLUMN SENSOR WERE REPLACED TWICE. UPDATED 10/13/15. *JB *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE STEERING WHEEL EMITTED A GRINDING NOISE WHILE TURNING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT AND THE POWER STEERING GEAR BINDING WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

IN SEPT 2014, I HAD MY 2006 MALIBU REPAIRED UNDER GM RECALL 13036. AT THE END OF JUNE 2015, I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE MALFUNCTIONING. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR REPAIR, WHICH WAS THE SAME WORK THAT WAS DONE FOR THE RECALL. AT THE END OF JULY 2015, THE MALFUNCTION RETURN AGAIN. I CONTACTED CHEVY VIA EMAIL AND PHONE, AND WAS FIRST TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED AGAIN AND EXPLAIN THAT I WAS HAVING THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN RECALL 13036 (" THESE FLUCTUATIONS CAN CAUSE ONE OR MORE OF THESE CONDITIONS: THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PUSHED; THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE PEDAL IS PUSHED"). I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT THAT MINE WAS "CLOSED" SINCE I HAD ALREADY HAD IT DONE ONCE. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL BE REAR-ENDED BECAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS, WHICH IS A PROBLEM THAT CHEVY/GM IS AWARE OF, HAVING ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING, WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND YOU CAN'T STEER THE CAR, LOSING ALL CONTROL. IT LOCKS UP FOR A SECOND OR TWO. THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR THE STEERING AND MANY OTHER ISSUES, AND WE TOOK IT IN TO BUNNIN CHEVROLET IN CULVER CITY, CA FOR THE REPAIRS. THEY REPAIRED IT UNDER THE RECALL, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE STEERING STILL LOCKS UP AND IT WILL DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE DRIVING SESSION.

I HAVE WAITED 3 YEARS FOR A RECALL FOR MY STEERING PROBLEM WHICH STARTED 08-2012 WITH 75,000 MILES. ON 03/13/15 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR RECALL #14116 WITH 95,000 MILES. THE FIX FAILED COMPLETELY. ON 07/07/15 WITH 98,800 MILES I RETURNED TO THE CHEV DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. WHICH COST ME $108.00. RECEIVED A CALL FROM DEALER, AFTER ROAD TEST AND DIAGNOSTIC, COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. NEXT DAY I TOOK THE MECHANIC FOR A TEST DRIVE AND HE SAW THE PROBLEM. ALERT CHIMES, POWER STEERING DISPLAYED ON THE DIC AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING. AFTER TALKING WITH CHEVROLET TECH SUPPORT THERE BEST GUESS WAS A FAILING POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE. AND WANTED $650.00 PLUS THE $108.00 I PAID FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, MAY NEED OTHER REPAIRS. I DECLINED. I DID MORE REACH AND FOUND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN # 10183A, SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM. 10 YEAR OR 150,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY. RETURNED TO DEALER ON 07/13/15, 98,800 MILES AND HAD STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. NO CHANGE, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. MORE REACH FOUND ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE RECALL #14116 DONE FAILED TO WORK. 99% WERE TOLD BY THE CHEV. DEALERSHIP LIKE ME THAT THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE FAILING. I'AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA ADD THE PART TO THE RECALL LIST OR MAKE CHEVROLET DO SOMETHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN LESS THAN ANOTHER 10 YEARS. HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER NO REPLY AFTER 3 BUSINESS DAYS.

GENERAL MOTORS HAS A RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING THAT CAUSES THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO JET CHEVROLET IN FEDERAL WAY, WA TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE RECALL. THEY CLAIM THEY DID THE WORK. HOWEVER, WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS, WE CONTINUED TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME FAILURE WITH THE POWER STEERING. WE CALLED JET CHEVROLET AGAIN TO REPORT IT AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE CAUSING THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN THE RECALL. THEY WANT TO CHARGE US $100 TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HOWEVER, THE CAR IS DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS BEFORE WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE RECALL. IF THEY DID REPLACE THE PART, I'M SURE IT MUST HAVE BEEN A DEFECTIVE PART. WE NEED SOMETHING DONE TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION TO AVOID A POTENTIAL CAR ACCIDENT.

HAVE NOT BEEN IN WRECK YET BUT MANY PEOPLE ARE DRIVING CARS THAT ARE UNSAFE. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN YOU APPLY THEM THEY GO OFF, RECALL IS NOT FIXING PROBLEM. CHEVROLET KEEPS CHARGING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHEN THEY KNOW ITS A MODULE THAT NEEDS ISOMETRIC PASTE REAPPLIED EVERY THREE MONTHS. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT ALSO AND THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW THE LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING, OTHER THAN PEOPLE ASKING IF YOU ARE RIDING THE BRAKES.

THE HORN HAS NOT WORKED FOR MANY YEARS. I TOOK MY CAR TO A DEALER ONCE WITH THE REQUEST TO REPLACE MY IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE IT GETS STUCK INTERMITTENTLY, AND THEY STRANGELY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE "IT ISN'T MALFUNCTIONING FOR US." THIS WAS BEFORE THE RECALLS BECAME PUBLIC. THEY DID REPAIR THE "HIGH TONE" HORN BUT IT STOPPED WORKING WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. I BELIEVE I HAVE A DANGEROUS VEHICLE.
