2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU Steering Problems

Power Steering Randomly Goes off taking the Traction Control with it. Terrible for the snow roads to have. Have to life the steering wheel slightly when starting to the car get it to work. Steering Angle Sensor or Torque Position Sensor Maybe??

I lost power steering while driving, making the wheel hard to turn. While the car is idle, the steering wheel shakes. Also “ESC” pops on on the dashboard.

Lug studs repeatedly snap at wheel no matter how installed.

My power steering quit working

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while driving 30-40 MPH, the power steering assist warning light illuminated. The contact stated while making a left turn, the vehicle became difficult to maneuver and the steering wheel vibrated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Mileage: 120,000

Steering not working correctly it is ver hard to turn steering wheel. Cluster lights went out so dashboard lights do not work, brake lights not working seems to be electrical problems with the vehicle

• Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. • The failure of the power steering system made it extremely difficult to steer the vehicle, especially at lower speeds, which put my safety and the safety of others at risk by increasing the likelihood of an accident. It would turn on and go off by itself at random spurts, which was very unusual. • No, the problem has not been reproduced by another dealer. • The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer’s service department. As well as, not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. • No it just randomly had a warning light one day when I got in it to crank it like a normal day. But never warned me before hand, but when it did come on, But it appeared on the dashboard indicating a power steering issue, and abs and brake warning light. The abs and brake warning light first appeared about two weeks before the complete failure of the system. Which I became without a vehicle for about 3 months because of it.

Casi tengo un accident por q mi power steering dejo de funcionar se puso duro y e visto muchos malibu con el mismo problema

Power steering and yes it is. Not safe to drive because of the steering. The dealership has changed the part under the recall as well as the warranty Yes by several people No warning lights or anything came on to show that there was a issue

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the engine / it stopped while I was driving / dealer charged me $2000 for a replacement engine, then after that my Power steering gave out , My ESC turns off and on / car jumps while driving my whole dashboard goes crazy How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? the car stopped while i was driving multiple times , my kids were in the car for 2 of them, it stops with out warning. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes the Used car dealership i bought it from is well aware and basically not helping at all Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no , no warnings signs came on until after the engine was changed and they go on and off

My service esc light and no esc light randomly pop up and I lose power steering in my 2010 malibu. I've heard there are warranties for this but only if your vehicle is at 150000 miles. Mine is at 160k. Ibe changed the torque sensor and motor to power steering. No fix. It seems that if gm knows about this problem, they should be responsible. I can't afford to keep dishing out money on parts that aren't working. Super annoying

THE ESC IS HARD TO STEER AND THE SEATBELT LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN I'M WEARING MY SEATBELT

I was driving down the road after I bought the car and the steering suddenly went out the DIC said "service esc" and "service traction" and I could barely move the steering wheel I was lucky to be on a country road because if I was on the highway I could have lost complete control and caused an accident I took it to a mechanic and they said "the dielectric grease in the bcm connector wore out" when I googled it I saw there was a recall but when I contacted the dealer they said there was nothing they could do for me. this is very concerning as who knows how many malibus steering could randomly go out over such a stupid problem i could be available if you would like to inspect the car/systems

after starting car, orange triangle indicator light came on (traction control I believe) and Message: "eng reduction loss of power steering, drove to Midas for oil change a couple miles away with manual steering(more difficult that my 61 Pontiac Tempest). I turned car off and immediately restarted and power steering was restored, car was fine driving home after oil change. In addition, I've owned the car about two months and have put on around 4,000 miles(Drove it back from Arizona), I've already had the thermostat replaced in S. Dakota, fuel pump replaced in Wisconsin and exhaust manifold in Michigan.

First off the power steering goes out and can only be fixed by applying dielectric grease to the bcm but that will fix it. second the airbag light will randomly go on but this can also be remedy by fixing the yellow connection under the passenger seat try jiggling it if that doesnt fix it just cut the two wires off the connector's and splice with crimp connectors. hope this helps you as much as it did me :)

Power Steering and ESC light on

Hello I am very upset I was driving down the street normal day then all of a sudden my steering wheel got hard to turn... Then esc/power steering light came on. My steering wheel does shakes a little because it's dangerous to drive. I called to the Chevy dealership they said that they couldn't fix the problem because it was pass the due date. But there's a big problem with this because there were recalls for this problem and I know about the special coverage but there's no way I should have to come out of pocket for this failure that Chevy knows about! Please help it's very dangerous to drive this car the way it is... Really my only transportation back & forth to work

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while her son was driving at approximately 60 MPH, the power steering failed, and the steering wheel had become very difficult to turn to the left or right. The contact stated her son was able to pull off the road and stop the vehicle. The steering warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the power steering failure was intermittent, but eventually became constant. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the steering column torque sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to TSB Number: 15356 (Steering). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 118,643.

steering failed. No power assist and steering wheel shaking. warning light for service power steering came on. Steering sensor torque? code c0545 ? The vehicle will suddenly lose power steering. Happens especially upon start up then have to turn vehicle off and sometimes power will come back on. Steering wheel visible shakes. Putting vehicle in shop for further evaluation. GM has a known issue with steering on these vechiles and there was a recall done but not for my year yet it is being widely reported online that there is an issue with other years as well.

When I turn on car Steering wheels locks in place unable to turn ,I hasn’t been inspected, and the dash says power steering.

The electronic power stearing and electronic stability control shut down while driving but would restart after key was cycled off. Dashboard would blink service esc and power stearing and the vehicle became very hard to turn and control. No there were no symptoms or warning messages prior to the incident. Yes it has been reproduced. My safety and the safety of everyone around me is put at risk becuase the car becomes almost impossible to controland stear. The car has not been inspected by anyone.

The power steering goes out while I am driving, and I find out I cannot make turns when the road curves or even to get off the road and be safe. Yes, the vehicle can be inspected anytime. This puts myself in danger of going off the road and others in danger if I cannot make a turn when going through an intersection. This is very dangerous in Michigan on the winter roads where I live. I have had to stop 1/2 through intersections almost in the ditch and then just wait for all cars to be gone to back up & finish the turn. A message appears on dash but it doesn't stay on. I had the steering torque sensor and motor replaced per warranty about July 2020 (at about 98,000 miles)and now the car is doing the same thing again! I haven't taken it in because I am afraid of what it will cost. They said it would have been about $1000.00 in 2020 if I had to pay for it. I called the dealership who fixed it to see if warranty would cover it the 2nd time and they said no. What good is it if they replace a faulty part with another faulty part?? The car has155,000 miles now as I am self employed doing food deliveries. Thank you.

The power steering system stops working. There are no warning signs prior to it malfunctioning, the power steering will just disappear, you have to stop shut it off and turn it back on. Does not matter how fast you are going, it just does it. This is unsafe because there is no warning, and it comes and goes with no consistency. I could drive for 30 minutes without a problem and then it stops working. This could easily cause an accident, if it would go out on the highway.

The power steering system stops working when it’s cold. There are no warning signs prior to it malfunctioning. When I get it towed to be seen or bring an mechanic to check out the problem it is always resolved before they can inspect it. This is unsafe because there is no warning and it comes and goes with no consistency. I could drive for 30 minutes without a problem and then it stops working or I could get in the car and it stops working within 5 minutes.This could easily cause an accident.

My 2010 Chevy MALIBU with 112,000 miles started having power steering failure while driving with my 9 yr old. At 55 miles an hour it was almost impossible to control the car and get pulled to the shoulder. I shut it off and when I turned the key on again I had power steering so I went ahead and drove home. The next day I start it and it has power steering but then I drive it for several miles or more and it dings and a message appears on the instrument panel saying power steering, esc/traction control and the steering almost completely seizes. I took it to have it looked at and of course it does not do it when the mechanic drives nor does it throw any codes. I told him that it happens at random so he needs to drive it until it does it again, and sure enough it does it again but still does not throw a code. I am told my only option is to replace the power steering motor for $800. It seems to me that if it was the motor it would not be working some times and then seize to work at random.

My vehicle lost power steering 3 months after buying it . Along with esc and traction controll . However there have been spraratic times when it works just fine . I have been driving the vehicle for 4 years with no power steering because the dealership has told me my rack and pinion is shot and that is not true I cannot afford to fix something that is not broke . That being said they also refuse to look deeper into the issue . So I am stuck driving a very unsafe vehicle until someone decide to do the right thing and admit this is a manufacturer issue and not and owner issue 😕

I would like to register a complaint concerning my 2010 Chevy Malibu, which has suffered from intermittent power steering problems since at least 2015. On June 9th, 2015, for example, I took it (with 73,252 miles) to the dealership in Maryland (Ourisman invoice CVCS465753) who traced the problem to an aftermarket insurance plugin. I paid for the repair, which only partially solved the problem. In August 2015 and March of 2017, Chevy issued special coverage bulletin (15356) for power steering failures on 2010 Malibus. When I took it to the dealership including Pohanka in Chantilly, VA, on 19NOV17 (invoice 642014), with the problem, it should have been automatically serviced, based on my recent conversations with Chevy customer care. This didn't occur, however, usually because the dealer argued that it did not apply to my VIN. Recently, I discovered that indeed the Bulletin does apply to my VIN but I was told that it's now outside of the coverage window which ended in 2020. I called Chevrolet corporate headquarters in late May and the representative there with whom I spoke argued that it didn't apply to the part numbers in question (Pohanka produced codes of 19332846 and 23232310), however when I asked him which part numbers they were we discovered that one of the two matched (bulletin identified codes of 23232310 and 22837369). He then told me they both had to match. I then quoted the bulletin which called for replacing one or both and he begrudgingly referred me to a special handler. I finally spoke with that individual, and she said that I was 12 years out of coverage, I reminded her that my vehicle was only 12 years old and that the reason it was out of coverage was because multiple GM dealerships and corporate officials such as the man with whom I spoke in late May continuously stiff-armed or otherwise denied responsibility for the defect. I reported it to the CEO's office in early June but the rep failed to get back with me by the agreed upon date.

The car shut off while driving down the street. Lost all control over steering and braking components. After the car shut itself off was not able to get it to turn back on after several hours. Turned it back on but when attempted to drive it home, it shit itself off again. Still could not control steering wheel

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the steering wheel became firm. The power steering assist fault warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with a faulty power steering pump. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 143,000.

Mileage: 143,000

The steering wheel has started freezing to where it is difficult if not impossible to turn. When this issue occurs I will see the STEERING ESC light notification appear with a chime. Stopping the vehicle and turning the engine off then on clears the issue for the moment but will occur again, almost daily. In doing research I encountered GM Service Bulletin No.15356 which identifies this as a known issue. My car currently has 174,000 miles on it so it is outside the range specified in the bulletin. Being as this is a known safety issue why was a safety recall not issued. This seems to be a very serious issue yet not being handled as such.

Was driving. My speed was about 60mph car swerved into left lane slightly when I went to move back into my lane I had no power steering and I think lights on dash stated power steering esc. Pulled over at gas station and read a forum about this. It stated if I turned off car and restarted car i would have power steering again. It did. Next day started car at home and didn't have power steering again. Shut it off restarted car and again steering was back.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the power steering would fail intermittently without warning. The contact would have to shut the vehicle off and restart the vehicle to regain power steering abilities. The failure had occurred a total of two times. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000.

Electrical power steering went out on highway. Loss partial control of the wheel!

While driving home from work on a busy parkway my daughter lost control of her 2010 Chevy Malibu (due to loss of power steering), after almost getting hit by another car she struggled to steer the car to the side of the parkway but turning the steering wheel was extremely difficult. She called me and I was able to drive it home but the power steering worked on and off. A warning message flashed [ Service Power Steering - ESC off ] My daughter doesn't recall seeing the warning light before the incident. I took the car to my mechanic, he said I was better off going to the dealer because it was a big electronic problem with power steering but he wasn't sure how to troubleshoot it. This could have ended a nightmare.. And, I am very upset after doing research on the Electronic Power Steering Assist problems and recalls for the Chevy Malibu and other GM vehicles over the past 10 yrs it is quite troubling and what really angers me is they don't have a recall for her car which is ridiculous after you spend a little time researching the 2010 Malibu customer complaints due to the power steering failure.

While driving the power steering goes out and a warning message pops up that says ‘Service ESC’ and ‘ESC Off’. It is near impossible to turn the wheel when this happens. I was able to turn the car off and back on, and the power steering returns/messages go away, but the same problem happens on and off.

Power steering loss 3 times within last 2 months. ESC steering error. Probably an unprotected voltage surge of power steering torque sensor. The first time this happened I almost hit the wall.

Lost power steering and increasing the risk of a crash. There is a recall on several Malibu just not the 2010 LTZ. I am wondering why this vehicle does not a recall when the 2004 to 2006 on the electric power steering has a recall???

While driving and making a left turn the steering wheel suddenly became difficult to steer. Power Steering and Service ESC warnings showed up on dash. Able to pull off the road and turned off engine. When restarted, message cleared and power steering returned. Drove back home and problem occurred several more times. Parked car in driveway. Unable to drive due to this safety issue.

The ESC and engine light came on and then the stability track light came on for a matter of a min and then all the lights just went off. I seen there are recalls on these issues but not for my vin number.

Lost Electric Power Steering (EPS) Assist while driving during a turn. The dashboard Information Display acknowledged a failure in the Power Steering. The dealer found code C0545 which relates to power steering torque sensor assembly. GM issued a Safety Recall in October, 2014, Bulletin #16146B, for the Malibu 2009 model but not the 2010 model. The bulletin directs the dealer to replace P/S torque sensor module. The dealer replaced the torque sensor module and the P/S assist motor (remanufactured) at the customer cost of $989.63.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel would intermittently fail to operate as needed with the power steering assist fault message displayed on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that excessive force was needed to operate the vehicle during the failure. Occasionally, the power steering assist functionality would return upon restart. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact pulled into a parking lot and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was restarted, and the power steering functionality was restored. The vehicle was driven back to the residence and had not been driven since. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 14E044000 (Steering) as a possible solution however, the vehicle was not included. The failure mileage was 130,000.

Had test drove the vehicle everything was fine, picked the vehicle up and drove it home everything was fine, parked in the back of my house the car sat over night I go to pull it out the drive way, the power steering has gotten stuck and I mean it was STUCK!, the “power steering” light came on the dash so I tried my best to turn to just pull it back in the driveway. It was so hard to turn I thought I would brake the steering wheel. Another thing whenever I ride over a bump my radio changes stations or turns off.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speed, the steering wheel felt abnormal including when making small turns. After continuing to drive, a few minutes later the power steering failed and the “power assist esp” warning message illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road, restarted the vehicle however the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the service control for the steering which is a function of the steering control module would needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 117,439.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the vehicle loss control while driving at various speeds without warning. After taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing, the contact replaced the struts, the axles, and inner tie rods himself however, the failure persisted. The contact then took the vehicle to a dealer where they linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14E044000 (Steering) however, the Vin was not under recall. The contact paid out of pocket to have the u-joints replaced however, the repair did not fix the failure. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer where it remained. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000.

WHEN MAKING A TURN AT ANY SPEED, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE DASH SAYS "POWER STEERING - ESC SERVICE". TURNING OFF THE CAR AND WAITING A MINUTE TEMPORARILY FIXED THE ISSUE

Mileage: 103,923

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, A "POWER STEERING" WARNING DISPLAYS ON THE DASH AND THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING RESUMED OPERATING PROPERLY. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED UPON STARTING, AND WAS AGAIN REMEDIED BY RESTARTING THE CAR.

THE POWER STEERING ON OUR VEHICLE BEGAN RANDOMLY GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING AND WE WOULD HAVE TO STOP AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF/ON FOR THE POWER STEERING TO RETURN. EVENTUALLY THE POWER STEERING WENT OFF AND WOULDN'T COME BACK ON.

WHILE IN MOTION I TURN AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND ON THE SCREEN POWER STEERING AND ESC TRACTION CONTROL OFF POPS UP IT'S LOCKING UP MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THEN A COUPLE DAYS LATER MY ENGINE LIGHT POPS ON I FIGURED IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING ESC TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM BUT AFTER SERVAL DAYS LATER I'M AT WORK AND THE CAR WANT START . I TRY A COUPLE TIMES AND GIVES IT SOME GAS THEN IT STARTED SO I WAS ON MY WAY THEN MAYBE 15 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD THE STEERING WHEELS LOCKS UP AGAIN AND THE SAME MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE SCREEN THIS IS REALLY WEIRD AND AGAIN DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 45

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT 40 MPH ALL POWER STEERING WOULD BE LOST, RESULTING IN THE "SERVICE ESC" LIGHT TO COME ON THE DASHBOARD. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN POWER STEERING WOULD BE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. I RECENTLY HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AND THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR. THE FIX COST ME $500.

Mileage: 74,000

STARTED VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND SERVICE ESC MESSAGE COMES ACROSS THE MESSAGE CENTER. WHEN THIS OCCURS THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS DANGEROUS! THIS VEHICLE IS A 4 CYLINDER AND HAS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING, NOT HYDRAULIC STEERING. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ON DRIVEWAY. SEARCHED SOME FORUMS AND OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, IT APPEARS THAT A FAULTY SENSOR IN OR NEAR THE STEERING COLUMN IS THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITH THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, SHE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE GEAR AFTER 2 HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO UNKNOWN LOCAL DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE CONTROL MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED PREVENTING ME FROM HAVING CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHICH RESULTED INTO ME HITTING THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT ON A CITY STREET AND MY CAR IS TOTALLY DAMAGED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING A RIGHT TURN, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL DAYS LATER.

Mileage: 109,000

WE HAVE REPLACED THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) TORQUE SENSOR TWICE, WITH DIFFERING BRANDS (AC DELCO, AND CAN'T REMEMBER THE OTHER). SINCE IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE EPS, THE TRACTION CONTROL IS OUT/DISABLED AS WELL. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, CONSIDERING IT'S A FULL SIZE SEDAN AND THE OPERATOR IS 115LBS WITH HER CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT'S EXCEPTIONALLY DIFFICULT TO STEER AT SLOWER SPEEDS, AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE PARKED. THE DEALERSHIP SHE BOUGHT IT FROM, NOR THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WILL TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY, AND SHE CAN'T AFFORD TO SINK EVEN MORE MONEY INTO THE CAR. THIS IS RATHER OUTRAGEOUS CONSIDERING THE CAR IS NORMALLY MAINTAINED AND THE DEALERSHIP SHE BOUGHT IT FROM WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS SHE HAD BROUGHT IT TO THEIR SERVICE CENTER (DUE TO PURCHASED WARRANTY AT THE TIME) WHERE WHATEVER-THEY-DID RESET THE LIGHT, BUT THE ISSUE RECURRED LATER ON. DATE GIVEN IS APPROXIMATELY THE MONTH ISSUES BEGAN TO GET SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE. THE ISSUE STARTED QUITE SOME TIME AGO. THIS HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT STRICTLY DUE TO THE OPERATORS OVER-ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION. MILEAGE I REPORT IS APPROXIMATE, BUT CERTAINLY WAS LOWER THAN THE NUMBER GIVEN WHEN IT BEGAN. *TR

Mileage: 145,000

WHILE TRAVELING VEHICLE WILL BE RUNNING NORMALLY THEN IT WILL SHOW THE POWER STEERING LIGHT GIVING A SHORT WARNING, THEN THE POWER STEERING WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE, HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR SHIFTS/JERKS, AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH. WHEN I COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT OR SIGN, MY CAR DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING ME TO BE IN AN INTERSECTION FOR LONGER THAN NORMAL BECAUSE MY CAR WON'T TAKE OFF. THE VEHICLE ALSO JERKS INTO DIFFERENT GEARS WHILE ALL OF THESE SERVICE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. THIS FEELS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, AND THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE RESOLVED. IT STARTED IN JANUARY AND IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN DESPITE REPLACING PARTS.

I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL MAKING MY CAR UNDRIVEABLE.

WHILE I'M DRIVING THROUGH THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS AND ALSO WHEN MY CAR IS IN PARKED THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO DO SOME KIND OF GLITCHING MOVEMENT BY TIGHTENING THE STEERING WHEEL FOR ABOUT HALF A SECOND, LUCKILY IT HASN'T INTERFERED WITH MY DRIVING (AT LEAST NOT YET). WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL GLITCHES THERE'S A TIGHTING FEELING THE STEERING WHEEL GETS AND SHAKES WHEN IT HAPPENS. EACH TIME IT DOES THAT IT LAST ABOUT HALF SECOND OR SO, BUT IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES BACK TO BACK SO THE WHOLE THING LAST A FEW SECONDS. THE "GLITCHING/TIGHTENING" ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, ALSO THE MOMENT THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO GLITCH/TIGHTEN UP I CAN FEEL SOMETHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS WELL. IT FEELS AS IF THE GLITCH RUNS THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND DOWN THROUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES YET.

THREE WEEKS AGO WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS CLOSE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WA A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2010 MODELS AND OF COURSE NOT MINE AND IT'S HAPPENING TO ME AND IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING ON MATCH 18, 2019. I WAS TURNING RIGHT ONTO BUSY 4 LANE CITY STREET FROM A PARKING LOT, SPEED < 5 MPH. COULD NOT TURN INTO RIGHT LANE, STRUGGLED TO SWING CAR INTO LEFT LANE W/O CROSSING MEDIAN. IT WAS NOT SIMPLY A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I'VE DRIVEN OLD CARS THAT NEVER HAD POWER STEERING AND THIS WAS 10 TIMES MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. I THINK I STRAINED A MUSCLE IN MY SHOULDER. TURNING DID NOT GET EASIER AS I ACCELERATED, EVENTUALLY TO ABT 40 MPH. STRUGGLED THROUGH 3 MORE HAIR RAISING TURNS (ALL TURNS MADE) BEFORE PARKING IT AT HOME. THE ESC/TCS INDICATOR CAME ON IN THE PARKING LOT AND STAYED ON. ERROR MSGS DISPLAYED WERE POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC, SERVICE AIR BAG. I HEARD NO CHIMES. WE GAVE MY DAUGHTER THIS USED CAR IN 2015. SHE HAD COMPLAINED A COUPLE OF WEEKS PRIOR THAT STEERING SOMETIMES BECAME DIFFICULT. A SEARCH BY VIN SHOWS NO INCOMPLETE RECALLS. IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY USEFUL TO KNOW IF THIS CAR WAS PART OF A RECALL(S) AND THEN REPAIRED. IF IT WAS, IT WAS REPAIRED INCORRECTLY, NOT ALL PROBLEMS WERE RESOLVED, OR THE PARTS USED HAVE A SHORT LIFE SPAN. IF GM ISN'T COVERING THIS SITUATION, THAT'S A CRIME. ALSO, IF NOT COVERED BY GM I'LL TAKE IT TO OUR REGULAR MECHANIC SINCE HIS WORK IS MORE RELIABLE THAN THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP'S. IF MY BABY HAD BEEN HURT IN THIS DEATH TRAP, HEADS WOULD'VE ROLLED - METAMORPHICALLY OF COURSE. I'LL ALSO BE CONSULTING A LAWYER.

Mileage: 150,000

WHEN I FIRST TURN THE CAR ON IT WILL FLASH SERVICE ESC AND POWER STEERING WHEEL ALSO FLASH AT THAT POINT I HAVE NO POWER STEERING, AND THEN I WILL TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND I HAVE POWER STEERING THERE IS NO FLASHING OF ESC OR POWER STEERING. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE WHILE STATIONARY. IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE REPLACED ALL FOUR TURN SIGNALS AT LEAST TWICE AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS AT LEAST TWICE. WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLASH AND THEN ONE WILL GO OUT WHILE THE OTHER ONE STAYS ON DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I DON'T HIT ANY BUMPS OR POTHOLES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND THE HEAD LIGHT WILL COME ON, AT THAT POINT IT STAYED ON FOR ONE DAY AND THEN IT WENT BACK OUT AGAIN. MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WILL WORK OFF AND ON, MORE OFF THEN ON. MY REAR DEFROSTERS DO NOT WORK AT ALL AND THE CONTROL ON THE DRIVER SEAT DOES NOT WORK EITHER. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND CABLES FOR THE CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THAT SHOULD FIX ALL THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND IT DID NOT. I HAVE 2 VIDEOS OF WHAT THE CAR DOES BUT CANNOT UPLOAD ON HERE.

WHILE DRIVING THE ESC, TRACTION AND POWER STEERING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. FOR A SHORT TIME I COULD STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULD WORK AGAIN . NOW THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AND OF COURSE ALL THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. THIS YEAR MODEL WAS LISTED AS ONE OF THE RECALLS FOR THE POWER STEERING BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR IN THE SHOP FOR A RECALL ON THE LIGHTING SYSTEM THAT WAS FAULTY WHICH IN THE RECALL IT DID SAY THAT IT COULD CAUSE THE POWER STEERING TO GO OUT AS WELL AS THE ESC AND TRACTION. THE CHEV DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT CORRECT. THE ESTIMATE I WAS GIVEN WAS ABOUT $1500.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ALL THE PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT , AND NOW JUST BY DOING RESEARCH I SEEN THAT THEY HAD A LOT OF THESE CARS RECALLED

JUST BOUGHT A USED 2010 MALIBU WITH 2.4L ENGINE FOR MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, WHEN TRYING TO TEACH HER PARALLEL PARKING, THE STEERING BEGAN LOCKING UP AND STEERING SYSTEM WARNING IS DISPLAYED. WHEN IT LOCKS UP, THE WHEEL CANNOT BE MOVED AT ALL, REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE SPEED. STEERING CONTROL ONLY RETURNS AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE DOWN, WAITING A FEW SECONDS, THEN STARTING IT BACK UP. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK. IT HASN'T HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY YET, BUT AFTER CHECKING INTO THIS ONLINE, I FIND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLED ON THIS AND OTHER GM VEHICLES. I ALSO FOUND THAT IT REPORTEDLY HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY, AND WHEN IT DOES, THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED IN WHATEVER POSITION IT WAS IN WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, LEAVING THE DRIVER ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I FIND IT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED IN REGARDS TO THIS. IT HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THE MALIBU WITH 2.4L ENGINE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IF THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT, THERE NEEDS TO BE ASAP. I'M THINKING RIGHT NOW THAT I SHOULDN'T LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE THE CAR. IT'S SCARY.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. A TRIANGLE SHAPED YELLOW WARNING LIGHT CAME UP. I THINK THE WARNING MESSAGE BELOW IT WAS ESC TRACTION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR AND LETTING IT REST FOR 1.5 HOURS, THE CAR STARTED AND THE STEERING WORKED LIKE NORMAL. NO WARNING LIGHT, MESSAGE, OR ISSUES. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

WE GOT THIS 2010 MALIBU ABOUT A MONTH AGO. ON APRIL 12, 2010 I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGH WAY 9. I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND TURNED IT OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 25 MINUTES AND WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. FEW DAYS AGO WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY. AGAIN, WE HAD TO PARK IT ON THE SHOULDER AND WHEN WE TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON IT WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL. WE TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST SHOP AND THE MECHANICS THERE CHECKED IT AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID ALL CHEVYS WITH TRACTION CONTROL ARE LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S POURING RAIN OR WHEN IT'S TOO COLD, AND I BELIEVE THEY WERE TELLING THE TRUTH BECAUSE I USUALLY HAVE ALL THESE ESC/TRACTION AND STEERING WHEEL WARNING LIGHTS ONLY WHEN IT'S RAIINING OR TOO COLD. PLEASE HELP US AS WE HAVE KIDS AND DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE RISK. THANKS!

I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY EARLY IN THE MORNING. AFTER GOING DOWN MY RESIDENTIAL STREET, I WENT TO TURN MY CAR TO THE LEFT AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. ON MY DASH THE MEASSAGE "ESC SERVICE POWER STEERING APPEARED". AFTER TURNING MY CAR OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING WAS BACK TO NORMAL, AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE FROM MY DASH. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I SEE THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE CHEVROLET MALIBU FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH POWER STEERING.

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. THE POWERING STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO TRY TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHICH WAS VERY DIFFICULT. VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I'M JUST GLAD I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE. THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE CAR IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL BUT WOULD HAPPEN MORE OFTEN OVER TIME. I ALWAYS KNEW THE CAR HAD STEERING ISSUES BUT ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE TIRES . FINALLY WHEN THE WHEEL WOULD JUST SHAKE WHILE IN PARK I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A MAJOR RECALL IN MANY GENERAL MOTORS CARS WHICH INCLUDE EVERY MODEL YEAR MALIBU EXCEPT THE 2010. FOR SOME REASON THE 2010 MODEL THERE IS ONLY A SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY, NOT A RECALL. GM ADMITS THERE IS A MAJOR DEFECT WITH THE POWER STEERING RECALL ON ALL THESE CARS BUT FOR SOME REASON DIDN'T RECALL THE 2010 MODEL. THEY ONLY DID THE SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN. IF YOU ARE OVER 150,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS YOUR OUT OF LUCK. YOU PUT YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE DRIVING IT. SINCE THEY PUT THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ON IT THEY ARE ADMITTING IT HAS THE FAULTY PARTS IN THE CARS. UNEXCEPTABLE . ALL CARS THAT THEY KNOW HAVE THESE PROBLEM PARTS NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD .

AFTER MARCH OF 2018 AFTER IT HAPPENED 3 TIME WITHIN THAT MONTH, ONCE WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE CAR, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS FOR A TUNE UP {PLEASE NOTE PREVENTANCE MAINTENENCE WORK IS BEING CONSTANTLY DONE ALL THIS WHILE } SPOKE TO THE ELECTRICIAN THAT WAS PERFORMING THE TUNE UP, AND EXPLAINED WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, HE DID PREFORMED A TUNE UP AND RAN A DIAGNOSE AND FOUND A C0561 CODE IN THE SYSTEM. HE ADVISE ME TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS INFORMATION WHICH I DID, ALONG WITH THE PAPERWORK FROM PEP BOYS. IRONICALLY DESPITE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOT BEING ON MUNDY CHEVROLET " FOUND THE ISSUE" WHICH AMOUNTED TO $1400.00 IN REPAIR WORK. { AGAIN PLEASE NOTE I HAVE BEEN TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE VARYING MAINTENANCE WORK DONE} I CONTACTED GM, I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND A SENIOR CASE ADVISOR BY THE NAME OF DESTINY, DESPITE SEVERAL CALLS AND VOICE MAIL, I AM YET TO RECEIVE A CALL FROM DESTINY. GM HAS SHOWN NO INTEREST IN AN ISSUE THAT IS LIFE THREATING. IMAGINE YOUR STEERING BASICALLY GOING "DEAD" WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I AM LUCKY TO STILL BE ALIVE. THIS HAS HAPPEN ON CITY STREET, WHILE IN MOTION PARTICULARLY ON TURNS.

I GOT THE CAR IN 2015 AND FROM THAT I HAVE HAD PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING LIGHT COMING ON AND SHUTTING OFF THE POWER STEERING WHICH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND ALMOST RAN INTO A POLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONE TIME AND WHEN SHE TURN OFF THE CAR, IT WORKS AGAIN BUT THEN HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT OVER AND OVER AND THE SOCKET BEING BURNED OUT AND HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AS WELL NOW MY RADIO HAS POWER BUT DOESN'T COME ON, AFTER IT WAS JUST WORKING. I CAN'T HEAR ANY DOOR CHIMES OR TURN SIGNAL SIGNS. IT LIKE A PROBLEM AFTER A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THIS CAR. I AM BUY THIS CAR BUT WE DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE IT. IT HAS ONLY 79000 MILES BUT THE PROBLEMS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 50,000 MILES AND WHEN I GOT THE CAR IT HAD 43,000 MILES I BELIEVE.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, WHEN SUDDENLY, MY POWER STEERING FAILED. I HAD TO USE A GREAT DEAL MORE EFFORT TO STEER THE CAR TO AVOID PARKED CARS, AS WELL ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD A COUPLE NEAR MISSES, BUT MADE IT TO MY DRIVEWAY. SINCE, I HAVE HAD THE SAME POWER STEERING FAIL 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD AND ON THE HIGHWAY EACH TIMEHIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, I AVOIDED CONTACT WITH OTHER CARS WHILE MOVING, BUT ONLY DUE TO MY EXPERIENCED DRIVING. IF MY KIDS WERE DRIVING THIS CAR, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT! NOW, I LEARNED GM HAD AN EFFECTIVE RECALL FOR MY MODEL, BUT FOR EARLIER YEARS UP THROUGH 2009. HENCE, THEY HAVE CLOSED SAID RECALL AND LEFT ME WITH NARY AN OPTION. I AM TURNING TO YOU TO SEE IF A RENEWED RECALL CAN BE REOPENED!

JULY 2015, DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR, STEERING LOCKED UP ON ME AND HAD TO POWER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITH THE DASH SAYING, "ESC POWER STEERING". IN BETWEEN STARTS, THE WHEEL UNLOCKED AND THE DASH MESSAGE WAS GONE. I STOPPED AT A GM AGENT AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD ONLY HELP IF IT WAS STILL SHOWING ON THE DASH. THIS PROBLEM COUPLED WITH A CONSTANT TWITCHING OCCURRED OVER 10 TIMES IN 3 YEARS; AND IN JANUARY 2018 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY IT LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING IS SINCE GONE, AND THE TWITCHING IS SCARY WORSE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED AS THE WHEEL WILL NOT TURN. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF NOT FIXED SOON. I AM GLAD I GET TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE.

FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS MY 2010 MALIBU IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. EVERY TIME I TURN MY CAR ON IT SAYS SERVICE ESC AND MY STEERING IS SUPER HARD TO WORK WITH. I CAN'T STEER MY CAR AT ALL. I HAVE TO SHUT MY CAR OFF AND RESET THE ENGINE UNTIL THE SERVICE ESC GOES AWAY. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY AND IT WENT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I COULDN'T STEER MY CAR AT ALL. I HAD TO PULL OVER WHICH WAS TOUGH BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME TRAFFIC. I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER ONLINE AND MOST PEOPLE SAY THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE STEERING COLUMN BUT MY CAR'S VIN ISN'T POPPING UP FOR ANY OF THE RECALLS. WHICH IS CRAZY BECAUSE MY CAR IS DOING THE SAME STUFF THE PEOPLE WHO GOT IT FIXED FOR FREE.

THERE ARE ALERTS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING AND THE SERVICE ESC ON THE DASH WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR. SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND JERKS, WITHOUT MY CONTROL. THIS AFFECTS MY DRIVING ABILITIES AND IS A CLEAR DANGER. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES THE MOST WHEN I AM STOPPED, BUT IT SHAKES THE ENTIRE TIME I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE OTHER TIMES I START THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING ALERTS COME ON AND THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AND I HAVE TO STEER MANUALLY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED SLOWLY; ORIGINALLY THE WHEEL SHOOK BUT NOT AS VIOLENTLY AS IT DOES NOW. OVER THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE, AND RECENTLY THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT WHEN I'VE STARTED. BEFORE I COULD JUST RESTART MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD WORK, BUT NOW THE MORE I RESTART THE CAR THE LESS LIKELY THE STEERING WILL WORK PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN JANUARY BUT INTENSIFIED IN MARCH.

I WENT TO TURN ON THE OFF-RAMP AND MY POWER STEERING FAILED, FOLLOWED BY SEVERAL MESSAGES ON MY INFORMATION DISPLAY. (POWER STEERING, ESC) ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, MY POWER STEERING RETURNS. SINCE THEN IT CONTINUES TO SHUT DOWN ON ME WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS THANKFUL THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING BECAUSE MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. THE STEERING WOULD NOT COME BACK ON FOR A WHILE THEN RANDOMLY AN HOUR OR SO LATER WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE POWER STEERING WAS BACK ON BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TICK LIKE BEFORE, ONLY HARDER, THEN IT WENT BACK OUT AGAIN A SHORT WHILE LATER WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE GAS STATION. THANKFULLY THIS TIME, I WAS ALONE. EVER SINCE THAT TIME THE POWER STEERING HAS NOT RETURNED. I'VE HAD THE POWER STEERING MOTOR CHANGED AND THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY, AFTER READING TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AND CORRECTED.

MY VEHICLE WAS GIVING A WEIRD VIBE WHEN I DROVE IT BUT THE MECHANIC SAID IT JUST NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. SO I GOT THAT DONE. SHORTLY AFTER IT STARTED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT STARTED THIS WEIRD TWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN AS WELL. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, WARNING LIGHTS FOR POWER STEERING AND ECS FLASHED CONTINUOUSLY. I PARKED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF TO GO GET FLUID. WHEN I GOT BACK REALIZED NO RESERVOIR. SO I TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. HOWEVER, IT STOPS WORKING RANDOMLY WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF INDICATION.

POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON THEN POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I TURN CAR OFF THEN RE START AND IT GOES AWAY. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON ME 7 TIMES THE OTHER DAY. IT GOES OUT JUST AFTER I START MY CAR SOMETIMES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY SINCE MY DRIVE TO WORK IS GOING AROUND A LOT OF CURVES. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I'VE READ THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS WITH OTHER DRIVERS. LUCKILY I'VE MANAGED TO COAST IN STRAIGHT WAYS TO STOP SIGNS SO I CAN TURN OFF AND RESTART MY CAR. I MAY NOT BE THAT LUCKY ALWAYS.

WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE, AN INDICATOR LIGHT IMMEDIATELY REPORTED A NEED TO SERVICE MY ESC AND MY POWER STEERING WAS DISABLED. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT SEEMED TO CORRECT ITSELF. NOW, WHEN DRIVING, MY STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES WHEN THERE IS NO TORQUE APPLIED TO THE WHEEL AND MAKES A CHATTERING NOISE PERIODICALLY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WEEK NOW.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR CHEVY MALIBUS UP UNTIL THE 2009 MODEL YEAR AND CLEARLY THERE IS A WEAKNESS IN THE 2010. THIS FAILURE WAS WHILE I WAS PARKED IN A TIGHT SPOT AND COULDN'T GET OUT.

THE SERVICE ESC, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND A LIGHT WITH A CAR ON A CURVED ROAD WAS ALSO ON. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT A PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OFF. I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE STREERING COLOUMN OR AN ELECTRIAL ISSUE.

DROVE TO DEALER. WHEN I ARRIVED, THERE IS NO BRAKE FLUID LEFT. LUCKY I MADE IT TO THE DEALER. WAS TOLD EITHER PART NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY OR DEFECTIVE PART. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE COST MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE. IN RESEARCHING LATER, I SEE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE WARNING LIGHTS AND MODULES.

IT KEPT HAPPENING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND IT WAS SCARY BECAUSE THERE WAS TRAFFIC. I HAD TO DRIVE IT LIKE THAT BACK HOME BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL IN CORNERS. THAT CAN CAUSE A CRASH. ALSO, I'VE ALWAYS HAD ISSUES WITH THE SENSORS ON THE CAR.

THE POWER STEERING DISENGAGES RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE RESULTING EXTRA WORK REQUIRED TO TURN THE CAR, LEADS A CAR THAT IS INCAPABLE OF SAFE TRANSPORT BY MOST PEOPLE. I WAS ON A CITY STREET THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, PREPARING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND MAY OR MAY NOT BE PRESENT EACH TIME THE CAR IS STARTED.

CHEVY 2010 MALIBU: WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR STARTED DINGING AND SAID CHECK POWER STEERING ESC OFF. I MADE IT TO A REST STOP WITH DIFFICULTY THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE INDICATOR WAS OFF. I BEGAN TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AS WELL. IT APPEARS TO DO IT AT RANDOM, SPEED NOR CONDITION SEEMS TO PLAY A FACTOR. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR TO SAFELY PULL OVER, MAYBE NOT ACCURATELY BUT AT LEAST HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. HOW IS THERE NOT A RECALL??? I HAVE READ THE COBALT HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 148,000

SYMPTOMS STARTED OCCASIONALLY MAINLY WHILE GOING STRAIGHT, AT ANY SPEED, WOULD STAY OFF UNTIL I RESTARTED THE CAR, NOW IT INCREASED TO ALL THE TIMEN WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. WHEN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE IN PARK...AND WOULD JERK THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING GOES OUT.. SAYS TO SERVICE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE ESC. MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER ESPECIALLY AND THE LOWER SPEEDS, I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING AS IF I AM DRIVINT A SEMI, FORCES ME TO TAKE WIDER TURNS. DID CONTACT GM, THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE THAT MY CAR HAS SAME SYMPTOMS AS OTHER PREVIOUSLY RECALLED VEHICLES. THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE SPECIAL WARRANTY GM ISSUED DUE TO MILEAGE, I HOWEVER BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH 170,000 IT HAD ALREADY SURPASSED THE WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER STEERING AND A WARNING CODE WILL DISPLAY ON THE DASH "SERVICE ESC" "SERVICE POWER STEERING". THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE PARKED. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR THE POWER STEERING WILL WORK FOR A BRIEF TIME BEFORE FAILING AGAIN.

AT FIRST, WHEN STARTING VEHICLE, DIC WOULD DISPLAY SERVICE ESC AND POWER STEERING. TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WOULD USUALLY CLEAR THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD RANDOMLY START MOVING AN INCH OR SO TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE SERVICE ESC AND POWER STEERING MESSAGES WOULD DISPLAY AGAIN, AND POWER STEERING WAS LOST. THIS STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN'T COMPLETE A TRIP WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING DROPPING OUT. RESEARCH SHOWS GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND MY VEHICLE WILL BE FIXED UNDER GM SPECIAL COVERAGE 15356, SINCE I AM UNDER 150,000 MILES. HOWEVER, I FEEL THIS IS HAPPENING TO ENOUGH TO WARRANT A GENERAL RECALL.

ESC LIGHT IS COMING ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND WON'T TURN WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE PARKED. SHUTTING OFF CAR THEN TURNING BACK ON SOMETIMES RESETS IT BUT THE STEERING COLUMN IS ALSO VIBRATING AND ALMOST FEELS AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF. STEERING WHEEL IS ALSO TWITCHING EVEN WHILE AT A STOP. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF, ALL OIL CHANGES DONE ON TIME SND REGULAR MAINTAINCE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOSE POWER OF STEERING. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ESC LIGHT. TOTALLY FREAKED ME OUT. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL UNTIL LATER THAT DAY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPEN FOR THE LAST THREE DAY. SOON AS I START THE CAR UP AND DRIVE FOR A 3 MILES THEN THE POWER STEERING GOES AND IF I STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART, IT GOES AWAY FOR A MOMENT AND THEN COMES BAC. I DON'T THINK THIS IS NORMAL. THIS IS HAPPENING AT ALL DIFFERENT RATE OF SPEED.

Mileage: 105,000

I STARTED THE CAR THEN BEGAN TO PULL AWAY FROM PARK. THE DRIVER'S INFO DISPLAY HAD A MESSAGE POP UP - SOMETHING ABOUT STEERING, OR ESC, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I THINK IT WENT OFF OR MAYBE IT WENT OFF WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF TO TRY AND RESET THE SYSTEM. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING WHEN I WAS STARTING TO PULL AWAY FROM PARK, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT SEEMED FINE. NOW, THERE IS A GRUMBLING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND WHEEL SHAKES A LITTLE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BUT I HAVE NOT HAD IT READ YET TO SEE WHAT CODES COME UP.

WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY, I FELT A SMALL JERKING TO THE LEFT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS STARTED ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 3, 2017 BETWEEN DRIVING FROM ONE WORK PLACE TO THE OTHER. THERE WERE NO ISSUES WHEN DRIVING IT HOME. NO ISSUES NOTICED ON SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4TH WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS IN THE AM HOURS. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY JERKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. LATER ON THAT SATURDAY NIGHT THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT A RESTAURANT. WE TRAVELED ON THE CITY STREETS HOME BECAUSE IT WAS ALMOST A STRAIGHT DRIVE HOME FROM THE RESTAURANT. IT WAS VERY HARD FOR MY HUSBAND TO STEER THE CAR ON THE WAY HOME. THERE WAS NO POWER ASSIST AT ALL. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON OTHER MALIBU'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NOT SURE IF I REALLY WANT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TOMORROW FOR WORK WITH THIS ISSUE. I DO TRAVEL ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MORNINGS.

AFTER I START THE CAR, THE VEHICLE WILL CHIME AS THE DIC DISPLAYS "POWER STEERING" (USUALLY ACCOMPANIED BY "SERVICE ESC" AND "SVC TIRE MONITOR"). THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WILL THEN COMPLETELY GIVE OUT MAKING IT VERY STRENUOUS TO USE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN BOTH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. THIS PROBLEM REQUIRES THE CAR TO BE RESTARTED MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER FOR POWER STEERING TO RUN AND WORK SMOOTHLY AGAIN. POWER STEERING OCCASIONALLY GIVES OUT DURING MANY TRIPS (REGARDLESS OF SPEED AND DISTANCE), WHILE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING VERY FEW TRIPS UNINTERRUPTED. I DRIVE A 2010 CHEVY MALIBU WITH 140K MILES ON IT - THIS HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH MY ONLY PROBLEM THUS FAR, BUT HAS NOW OCCURRED EVERYDAY FOR ABOUT 4-5 DAYS IN A ROW.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS WAS AS I WAS TURNING, SO IT CAUSED QUITE A BIT OF PANIC. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A ONE-TIME ISSUE, HOWEVER 2 MONTHS LATER, I AM DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND TAKING A TURN WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN THIS ISSUE CAUSED ME TO BE IN A UNSAFE SITUATION, LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS. I AM A FEMALE THEREFORE CANNOT GENERATE THE EFFORT NEEDED TO TURN THE WHEEL WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THE 2009 MODEL YEAR HAS A TSB ON IT, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WHICH HAS EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS DOES NOT. *TR

Mileage: 93,000

THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRIC POWER STEER FAILED WITH NO WARNING WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ALONG A NORMAL SUBURBAN ROAD. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AS SHE COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAGEDY THAT RESULTED, BUT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND WE TOWED IT TO OUR HOME THEN TO A GM STORE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITHIN GM AND PUBLIC FORUMS ACROSS. I WAS INFORMED THAT GM HAS CREATED A SPECIAL POLICY #15356 TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WHEN I WAS AT THE GM STORE, EXTENDING THE WARRANTY, THEY SAID IT WAS ONLY TO 150K MILES & OUR VEHICLE HAS 159K MILES SO WE WEREN'T COVERED. I ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY MAINTENANCE THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS, THERE WASN'T ANY PROCEDURE. FURTHER RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THERE IS NO SET MILEAGE THAT THIS CAN OCCUR DUE TO THE FACT THAT IS A FAULTY DESIGN & NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ! THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY RAMIFICATIONS WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS AND THE STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IS SURE TO THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS/ INJURY/ETC. *TR

THEY CALLED US BACK LATER IN THE DAY TO TELL US THAT THE SENSOR WENT OUT ON THE POWER STEERING AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED. WE LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE FOR THE 2010. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT WE WERE NOT COVERED DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR. IN LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDRED'S OF OTHER PEOPLE THE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2010 MODELS. WHY IS THIS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL IF THEY ARE AWARE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM. WE PAID $671 OUR OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR.

I WAS DRIVING ON SR-512 NEAR PUYALLUP, WASHINGTON. I WAS JUST MOVING TO THE RIGHT AT THE BASE OF THE FREEWAY ON-RAMP, WHEN MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT. AT NEARLY THE SAME TIME, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVATED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. EACH OF MY WHEELS BEGAN BRAKING INDEPENDENT FROM ONE ANOTHER. THIS LATEST FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-SECONDS AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THE POWER STEERING ALSO RETURNED TO NORMAL FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. LATER THAT SAME MORNING, I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND WAS WAITING TO TURN RIGHT. WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED ENOUGH FOR ME TO BEGIN MY TURN I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. ALMOST AT THE SAME MOMENT THE STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN, AND I HAD TO FIGHT TO COMPLETE THE TURN. HAD I BEEN AN ELDERLY PERSON, WITHOUT SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN, I WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CRASHED INTO THE CARS WAITING TO TURN LEFT AT THE INTERSECTION IN QUESTION. THE STEERING PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED EVER SINCE AND GOTTEN MUCH WORSE OVER TIME. I'VE NOTICED IF I STOP THE CAR...TURN OFF THE IGNITION...AND RESTART THE CAR THE ELECTRONIC STEERING RESETS AND WILL BE FINE FOR UP TO 10-15 MINUTES. BUT THE PROBLEM ALWAYS RETURNS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT MALIBUS FROM 2004-2009 EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND WERE RECALLED. I WENT TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD EXTEND THE RECALL PROTECTION TO COVER MY 2010 MALIBU AND I WAS ADVISED THEY WOULD NOT. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM, AND WHILE I CAN'T AFFORD THE $2,000 REPAIRS TO GET IT FIXED, I CAN'T IMAGINE TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE WHEN WINTER ARRIVES AND THE ROADS TURN ICY. THIS PROBLEM WOULD MOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. I HOPE YOU CAN INFLUENCE CHEVROLET TO EXTEND THEIR EXISTING MALIBU RECALL TO COVER THE 2010 MODELS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THOSE MODELS FROM THE PREVIOUS SEVEN MODEL YEARS. THANK YOU.

LAST SPRING I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY 2010 CHEVY MALIBU WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY. THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY FAILED RESULTING IN NO POWER STEERING. AFTER RESEARCH I BECAME AWARE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY MALIBU'S BUT WAS ONLY COVERED IN RECALLS UNTIL 2009. I PAID FOR REPAIR ON THIS OUT OF POCKET LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS AS SEEN WITH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE STEERING COLUMN FOR GM, DORMAN, IS RECALLING THEIR STEERING COLUMN THAT WAS INSTALLED IN THE 2010 CHEVY MALIBU. THIS RECALL WAS POSTED IN JULY. WITH THE TROUBLE GM HAS BEEN THROUGH THEY SHOULD BE ON A BETTER HONOR SYSTEM. THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED BY GENERAL MOTORS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY GENERAL MOTORS WHO SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY DORMAN. THE PHONE NUMBER FOR DORMAN IS 1-800-523-2492 AND YOU COULD POTENTIALLY BE REIMBURSED BUT YOU WILL NEED THE PART NUMBER OF THE DEFECTIVE STEERING COLUMN. GENERAL MOTORS OFFERS NO COOPERATION IN PART NUMBER INFORMATION. EVEN WITH PREVIOUS CALLS I HAD WITH GM SAYING ALL PARTS USED IN CARS WERE IDENTIFIED BY THE VIN NUMBER OF THE CAR SO THEY KNOW THE ORIGIN WHERE ALL PARTS WERE MANUFACTURED. IT APPEARS TO BE A FINGER POINTING GAME AND THE LOSER IS THE CONSUMER. *TR

THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL LIKE THE PREVIOUS YEARS WERE. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME CHANGES TO THE POWER STEERING COLUMNS TO ENSURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE MAKES AND CHEVY NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2010 MALIBU TO COVER THIS. IT IS ONLY RIGHT! *TR

THE POWER STEERING AND ESC WARNINGS WERE SHOWING ON THE DASHBOARD AND STEERING WAS EXCEPTIONALLY HARD.

I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT (NOT EASILY) AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, BUT IT DID NOT RESET ITSELF. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK MY CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE POWER STEERING IS ELECTRICAL AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT IT THE NEXT DAY (IT WAS SUNDAY AND I NEEDED TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY). MONDAY MORNING THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE POWER STEERING MOTOR AND THAT THEY'VE SEEN THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH GM CARS.

I HAD A LOSS OF POWER STEERING "SERVICE ESC" LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. CAR WAS COMPLETELY MANUAL STEERING AT THAT POINT, EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL 14E044. ALSO, PART MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY THAT THE RECALL INVOLVED. I PURCHASED A NEW POWER STEERING SENSOR AND HAD IT INSTALLED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THE POWER STEERING STILL DID NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, BUT THIS TIME WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED ON, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TURN ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT, ON ITS OWN. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT THE WARRANTY WAS VOIDED ON THE PRODUCT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL GM SERVICE DEPARTMENTS THAT THIS IS A FAULTY PART AND THAT OFTEN TIMES SEVERAL HAVE TO BE INSTALLED BEFORE YOU FIND ONE THAT WORKS. ALSO, I WAS NOT PROVIDED A WRITTEN WARRANTY FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE PART, BUT THE PARTS DEPARTMENT TOLD THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY ON IT. HOWEVER, NO DETAILS AS TO STIPULATIONS WERE PROVIDED. I AM UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT GM AND DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THE ISSUE, THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT THE RESPONSIBILITY OFF ON THE CAR OWNER.

MY 2010 CHEVY MALIBU LOSES POWER STEERING AT LOW RATES OF SPEED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THIS HAS PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGERS WAY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. GM/CHEVY RECENTLY HAD A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE I AM HAVING HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT COVER THE 2010 MODEL UNDER THE RECALL. THE 2008-2012 MODELS OF THE CHEVY MALIBU USE THE SAME ELECTRONIC STEERING PARTS HOWEVER GM FEELS THEY ONLY NEED TO RECALL THE 2008 AND 2009 MODELS. THIS IS URGENT THAT THIS BE ADDRESSED WITH GM AND IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC SAFETY. I ALSO WILL BE WRITING MY LOCAL AND STATE REGULATORS IN THE HOPES THAT THIS MAY SAVE LIVES AND DOCUMENT MY COMPLAINTS. PLEASE SEE GM RECALL BELOW. AGAIN THIS DOES NOT COVER THE 2010 MODEL EVEN THOUGH IT USES THE SAME PARTS! THIS HAS BEEN INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BY 2 CERTIFIED GM MECHANICS AS WELL AS 2 LOCAL MECHANICS. IF WE LOSE ONE MORE LIFE BECAUSE OF GM'S CARELESS ACTIONS THEN OUR SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. I CAN BE REACH DIRECTLY BY EMAIL OR AT [XXX]. PLEASE HELP. IF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, A MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AND A CHIME SOUNDS TO INFORM THE DRIVER. STEERING CONTROL CAN BE MAINTAINED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL REVERT TO MANUAL STEERING, BUT GREATER DRIVER EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

THIS IS THE SAME SITUATION AS THE 2008 AND 2009 MODEL MALIBU'S WHICH HAVE A RECALL ON THEM FOR STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM GM'S RECALL #14V15300 RECALLED 3/31/14.

WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN DUE TO THE BAD TORQUE SENSOR. THIS COST ME 689.00 TO REPLACE, I FEEL GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND ADD THE 2010 MODEL MALIBU TO THE RECALL LIST SO THAT I CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR ERROR AND SO THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT PUT TRUST IN PURCHASING THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE.

HE SAID TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN, ALIGN THE WHEELS/STEERING, ECT. ALL AT A COST OF ABOUT $873. MY CAR ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD YET, AND I'M FORCED TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN? I SEE THAT GM HAS RECALLED THE 2004-2006, 2009 MALIBU MODELS, AND A NUMBER OF OTHER YEARS AND MODELS DUE TO FAULTY POWER STEERING. I DRIVE HOME TO SEE MY MOM WHO IS AT THE END OF LIFE WITH CANCER. THAT DRIVE IS ABOUT 130 MILES ONE WAY, MOSTLY INTERSTATE DRIVING AT 65MPH. IF I DON'T HAVE THIS FIXED, I COULD POSSIBLY LOOSE MY POWER STEERING, OR WORSE, LOOSE STEERING ALL TOGETHER, AND NOT ONLY INJURE OR KILL MYSELF, BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD. SO I AM FORCED TO FIX THIS ISSUE, WHICH I FEEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $1000 FOR A CAR THAT ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD, THAT I PAID $25,000+ FOR. RESOLUTION FOR ME WOULD BE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE WORK I'M GOING TO HAVE DONE, AND HAVE THE 2010 MALIBU'S ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. THANK YOU *TR

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO THE WELL KNOW INTERMITTENT ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) LOSS FOR RECALL BULLETIN: 14116. HOWEVER THIS BULLETIN ONLY COVERS UP TO 2009 CHEVY MALIBUS. I OWN A 2010 CHEVY MALIBU WITH THE DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ISSUE. AFTER A PHONE CALL AND WAITING SEVERAL DAYS FOR A RETURN CALL FROM GM HELP DESK I CALLED BACK AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING MY CAR TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TO CONFIRM THAT I HAVE THIS SAME ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ISSUE. IT WAS VERIFIED THAT I DO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF CARS ARE BEING RECALLED ABOUT. IT WAS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT I DO NOT TAKE THE CAR OFF THE LOT WITHOUT GETTING IT REPAIRED FOR THE REASON OF A SAFETY ISSUE LOSING POWER STEERING. I DID OBJECT TO THIS REPAIR BUT WAS ASSURED BY GM SUPPORT THAT A BULLETIN COVERING MY 2010 CHEVY MALIBU WOULD BE COMING OUT AT THE END OF THE MONTH AND I WOULD RECEIVE A REIMBURSEMENT FORM. HESITANT, I DID DO THE REPAIR OF $996. AFTER A WEEK OF CALLING GM SUPPORT WITH ESCALATING MY SITUATION AND MANY UNRETURNED PHONE CALLS I WAS PERSISTENT IN CALLING BACK. UNFORTUNATELY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THE CONFIRMED ISSUE AS THE RECALL BULLETIN 14116 FOR THE DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING THAT IS COVERED ONLY UNTIL 2009. MY 2010 IS NOT COVERED AND THERE IS NO RECALL BULLETIN ANYONE IS AWARE OF THAT WILL COVER THIS ISSUE FOR THE REASON MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED. I WAS TOLD IT COULD TAKE YEARS, IF IT EVER WILL HAPPEN AT ALL. THIS IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGING THAT IT WAS OFFICIALLY VERIFIED THAT I HAVE THE SAME EPS ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF CARS ARE RECEIVING REPAIRS AND MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF THE YEAR AND VIN NUMBER. EVEN MORE DISCOURAGING IS THAT GM WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT IN THIS ISSUE. WHY DID WE EVER BAIL THIS COMPANY OUT WITH TAXPAYER MONEY? TOO BIG TO FAIL? TOO BIG TO CARE! *TR

HOWEVER, THE INCIDENT OCCURRED 3 TIMES THE NEXT DAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK (HOWEVER NOT ON MY WAY TO WORK THAT MORNING). EACH TIME I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO PAY OVER $600 TO HAVE MY STEERING COLUMN REPLACED. NOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR SEVERAL OF THE PREVIOUS MODELS OF THE MALIBU, BUT NOT MY 2010, ALTHOUGH I DID EXPERIENCE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I PURCHASED MY 2010 MALIBU IN NOVEMBER OF 2009.

NECESSARY TO REPLACE STEERING COLUMN AND CONTROL MODULE $1259.00...THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE A PART OF THE RECALL LIST ALSO, I AM SO UPSET THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE NOW AFTER I PAID MY CAR NOTE LAST WEEK I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET MY CAR FIXED.

AT FIRST I LOST POWER STEERING WHEN TRAVELING HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. NOW THE POWER STEERING FAILS WITH JUST SHORT TRIPS AROUND TOWN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY FOR MY WIFE. SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL AT SLOW SPEEDS. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY ACCIDENT SURCHARGES ON TOP OF THE REPAIR BILL FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS POWER STEERING ISSUE IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE WEB AND AFFECTS MANY MODELS THAT HAVE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BOX. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING BOX RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) AND THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR. THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR CANNOT BE REPLACED AT THIS TIME (OR MAYBE NEVER). THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN MUST BE REPLACED. THIS IS AT A VERY COSTLY EXPENSE WHEN A CHEAPER REPAIR IS AN OPTION. I RESEARCHED A CAR OWNER WHO HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN THREE TIMES DUE TO FAILURE OF THE POSITION SENSOR AND THERE IS NO RECOURSE FOR US CONSUMERS. EVERY 20,000 MILES AFTER WARRANTIES WERE EXPIRED. I AM [XXX] YEARS OLD AND HAVE ONLY OWNED AMERICAN MADE CARS, JUST ABOUT ALL GM PRODUCTS. IF THIS ISSUE DOES NOT GET RESOLVED IN A PROFESSIONAL WAY I WILL BE GOING TO THE FORD PRODUCT. I HOPE I WILL NOT BE FORCED TO THE FOREIGN CARS FOR THE REASON I WILL NOT RETURN TO GM IF THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I AM OPTIMISTIC AT THIS POINT I CAN REMAIN A HAPPY GM CONSUMER. I RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THE MINI COOPER HAD THE SAME ISSUE OF POWER STEERING FAILURE. THEY STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND OFFERED A 13 YEAR OR 200,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE POWER STEERING MODULE. HTTP://WWW.NORCALMINIS.COM/2013/05/MINI-POWER-STEERING-PUMP-WARRANTY.HTML THIS WOULD BE A VERY WISE CHOICE TO OFFER THIS SOLUTION WITH THE RECENT OF THE RECALL WITH THE IGNITION SHUTTING OFF WHILE THE CAR IS OPERATIONAL CAUSING FATALITIES. *TR

THE POWER STEERING WILL STOP WORKING AND ACROSS THE INFORMATION CENTER SCREEN WILL SCROLL "POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION, SERVICE ESC". WHILE DRIVING YOU CAN FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING FROM SIDE TO SIDE, AND WHEN STOPPED YOU CAN RELEASE THE WHEEL AND VISUALLY SEE THE STEERING WHEEL JERK FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF CALLS THEY HAVE RECEIVED ON OTHER MALIBU'S SHOWING THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE COLUMN AND IT WOULD RUN APPROX. $900. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE IN THE MODELS 4-8 YEARS PRIOR TO MINE AND THAT THEY WERE ALLOWED TO FIX THOSE PER GM. IF THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED BEFORE IN THE SAME MODEL OF CAR WHY WOULDN'T THAT FIX BE GRANDFATHER FOR FUTURE MODEL YEARS IF SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ISSUE? THE ISSUE I WAS TOLD IS FROM A FAULTY STEERING WHEEL ANGLE POSITION AND TORQUE SENSOR. *TR

I GENERALLY AM WILLING TO PAY TO GET SERVICE, BUT ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS AND MANY MODELS OF GM VEHICLES. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE WARRANTIED/RECALLED OUTSIDE OF BUMPER TO BUMPER AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF IT WERE TO GO OFF AND BE THE CAUSE OF ANY ACCIDENT.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2011 AND HAD NOTICED A FEW TIMES DURING WINTER THAT WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIM AND THE HEATER FAN WOULD SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN. NOTHING REALLY EVER HAPPENED TO MAKE ME THINK THERE WAS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I WOULD NOTICE IT WOULD HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY THROUGH OUT THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. EARLY IN MARCH, 2013, I HAD NOTICED AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO GO TO WORK, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THERE WOULD BE A MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT JUST READ POWER STEERING. THIS WOULD ONLY LAST FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, AND THEN IT WOULD GO AWAY AND THE STEERING WOULD BE FINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE COLD WEATHER. ON FRIDAY, MARCH 15, I HAD STOPPED AT A FEW DIFFERENT PLACES, WAS HAVING NO ISSUES THAT I COULD TELL. I GOT INTO MY CAR TO LEAVE THE LAST STOP, STARTED THE CAR AND BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. I DIDN'T SEE A MESSAGE AT FIRST AND IT FELT LIKE I HAD A FLAT TIRE. ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER THERE WERE 4 DINGS AND THE DASH SAID POWER STEERING AGAIN AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY SLUGGISH. I'D BEEN HALF EXPECTING IT TO START WORKING AGAIN, BUT AFTER SPEAKING WITH A REP AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE, THEY TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ELECTRONIC ASSIST MOTOR ON THE RACK-AND-PINION HAD SHORTED, CAUSING A FUSE TO BLOW WHICH WAS SOMETHING GM HAD ALREADY PUT A RECALL OUT FOR OTHER VEHICLES, EXCEPT MY MODEL YEAR. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY RECALL THAT WAS OUT ON THE CAR AT THE MOMENT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR AND I WILL BE TAKING CARE OF THAT SOON.
