2006 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

WAS AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE IT WAS RAINING CAR STOPPED AND GOT FLOODED UNDER THE UNDER PASS COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR MOTOR WOULDN'T START ARE ANYTHING WE HAD TO GET RESCUED OUT OF THE CAR DUE TO THE POWER. *TR

I FILED A COMPLAINT LAST YEAR IN REFERENCE TO THE RANDOM STOPPING ISSUE ON MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU. ALTHOUGH SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED, THE MALIBU'S AND IMPALAS HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED AS THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHER RECALLED VEHICLES. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS A LITERAL DEATHTRAP AND THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS ADVISED ME THAT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. IF YOU REVIEW THE VARIOUS CAR FORUMS, THE RANDOM STOPPING ISSUE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL CHEVY VEHICLES MAKE IN THIS TIMEFRAME. THE DEALERSHIPS OFFER LITTLE ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING THE ISSUES IF NO CODE IS GENERATED. THE VEHICLES ARE ENGINEERED TO STOP IN THE EVENT OF ALMOST ANY MINOR ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM A SINGLE PARENT THAT PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER IN COLLEGE. SHE HAS COME HOME IN TEARS MANY TIMES DUE TO THE VEHICLE STOPPING ON HER WITH NO WARNING AND ALMOST BEING HIT SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE SPENT ALMOST $1500 TRYING TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE THAT CHEVY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR MY DAUGHTER WHILE THE MALIBU IS LITERALLY USELESS AND SITS ON MY DRIVEWAY. I WOULD HATE TO EVEN GIVE IT AWAY KNOWING OF THIS ISSUE. IF I SELL THIS VEHICLE TO SOMEONE ELSE, I AM SELLING A DEATHTRAP THAT COULD CAUSE ANOTHER FAMILY A MAJOR TRAGEDY. I FILED ANOTHER COMPLAINT WITH GM AND WAS JUST TOLD AGAIN LAST WEEK THAT THEY VEHICLE CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED. THEY WENT BY THE INFORMATION FROM THE FIRST DIAGNOSTIC AND DID NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN. PLEASE ENCOURAGE GM TO DO T

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY WHEEL SINCE 2008. I TOOK MY CAR TO MULTIPLE CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOT AN ISSUE. FAST FORWARD TO 2013 AS I WAS MAKING A TURN MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY WENT OUT AND I HAD TO LET THE CAR GLIDE MY CAR INTO THE SIDE WALK AS THE WHEEL STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM AND I WOULD STILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET IN ORDER TO GET THIS CAR FIXED BUT I FOUND ONLINE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS MY CAR. I WANT GM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A POWER STEERING ISSUE WITH 2006 CHEVY MALIBU'S AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST 6-8 MONTHS, I WAS DRIVING MY CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 LT AND THE CAR DIED AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE SENSOR CAME ON THAT SAYS "POWER STEERING." IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME THAT IT HAPPENED, I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. SINCE I WAS TURNING LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, I WAS NOT DRIVING FAST AT ALL. I BELIEVE I HAD MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR ON AT LEAST ONE OF THESE OCCASIONS. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING AT ALL. MY CAR ENDED UP WITH THE FRONT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION FACING THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU CANNOT COMPLETE THE TURN WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I THOUGHT IT MUST BE THAT IT NEEDED POWER STEERING FLUID. BUT MY HUSBAND CHECKED IT AND HE SAID IT DOES NOT NEED POWER STEERING FLUID. WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE GM RECALL YESTERDAY, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID MY CAR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I THEN CHECKED GM'S WEBSITE AND PUT MY VIN IN AND IT SAID THAT MY CAR IS NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS SOUNDS VERY WRONG TO ME. I THINK THE NHTSA SHOULD CLOSELY SCRUTINIZE THE LT MODELS OF THE CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 AS I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME OR SIMILAR DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW. I AM NOW USING ONLY A SINGLE KEY WITHOUT THE FOB AS THE NHTSA CONSUMER ALERT ON YOUR WEBSITE STATES TO DO. WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE, I ALWAYS HAD THE FOB AND TWO ADDITIONAL KEYS ON THE KEY CHAIN ALONG WITH THE CAR KEY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH F

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH ON A RAMP, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY TIGHT AND THE CONTACT HAD TO USE EXTREME FORCE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT RESUMED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

OKAY I PROCEEDED TO MY CAR THIS PARTICULAR MORNING AND WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF, PULL THE COLUMN TOWARD ME WHILE TURNING THE CAR AND THE WHEEL WAS UNLOCKED. ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE I NOTICED THAT THE WHEEL WAS SHAKING AND MAKING NOISES. THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER WHENEVER I TRIED TO PICK UP SPEED. YOU REALLY NOTICE THE SHAKING AT ABOUT 35 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR. I TRIED TROUBLESHOOTING AND WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC TO CHANGE MY TIRES AND GET AN ALIGNMENT. I DID THAT AND THAT RESOLVED NOTHING. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR PAST 50 MPH BUT I AM ACTUALLY SCARED WHILE DRIVING. WELL I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER YESTERDAY AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE STEERING IS FRIED. THE COST WOULD BE 918.00. THIS MORNING I WAKE TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER SHOP TO HAVE A DINGING NOISE COME ON THE WHEEL LOCK UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE WHEEL IS REAL STIFF AND I MANAGED TO MAKE IT BACK TO MY HOUSE. I LOOKED INTO THE RECALL OF THE CHEVY MALIBUS WITH GM AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL DOESN'T COVER THE MOTOR. I AM REALLY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET AND I AM LOOKING AT JUST GETTING RID OF THIS HEADACHE FOR REAL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY IN LUNCH HOUR TRAFFIC. AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY TO CHANGE TO A CONNECTING FREEWAY, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF HALF WAY ALONG THE EXCHANGE RAMP. AT THAT POINT I NOTICED THAT I HAD POOR BREAKAGE AND NO POWER STEERING. LUCKY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER AND STOP IN THE EMERGENCY LANE MID RAMP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND DRIVE OFF WITHOUT INDECENT. IT WAS UNSETTLING TO SAY THE LEAST. *TR

BRAKES LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. WHILE APPLYING BRAKES, THE LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF. THE LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY, REGARDLESS OF SPEED. PREVIOUS OWNER WAS REAR ENDED WITH MOTORIST STATING THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED. AT THAT POINT I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHO NOTIFIED ME OF THE SPECIAL BULLETIN THAT WAS POSTED REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHEVROLET WOULD NOT OFFER TO FIX THE KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AT NO CHARGE. THEY CHARGED $150.00 FOR A SIMPLE FIX. *TR

MY VEHICLE PERIODICALLY STALLS DURING OPERATION. I HAVE NOTICED THIS OCCURRENCE FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY INJURIES OR ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS. HOWEVER, I AM READING THAT THERE MAY BE ISSUES WITH IGNITION SWITCHES OF THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

I CALLED IN THIS COMPLAINT ON 03/13/20014 TO ROBIN WITH COMPLAINT # 10568974 BUT IT WILL NOT SHOW UP ON SEARCH. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AT WILL. I CALLED A COMPLAINT TO CHEVY. CUSTOMER SERVICE #[XXX]. ON 07-12-12 THE STEERING PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS CHANGED BY SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 10183REPLACE STEERING COLUMN INSTALLED 25933396 COLUMN. WE ARE SURE IT WAS NOT A 2006 COLUMN BUT A NEWER YEAR THAT HAS A RECALL ON IT. THE CHEVY. FORUM HAS A LOT OF RECALLS ON AIR BAGS. THE LOCAL DEALER O"RIELLY WILL NOT DO A SCANNER CHECK FOR CODES UNLESS THE LIGHT IS ON. WE HAD IT DONE A OUR AUTOMOTIVE DEALER AND IT SHOWED CODE B0012 DRIVERS DEPLOYMENT LOOP. WE CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY OR A RECALL ON THE NEW STEERING COLUMN. WE WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO US. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AS THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION COIL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON TWO OCCASIONS BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 160,000. ..UPDATED 04-23-14 *BF UPDATED 05/28/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE OWNER IS IN POSSESSION OF THE FAILED PARTS.

UPON SLIGHT ACCELERATION (I.E. MERGING FROM EXIT RAMPS OR PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC) THE POWER STEERING FAILS. WARNING SOUND CHIMES. STEERING BECOMES UNASSISTED WITHOUT POWER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER RE: RECALLS/FIX AND WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM A SERVICE FEE TO LOOK AT THE CAR FOR THEM TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A GM/CHEVY PROBLEM AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO ADDRESS THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY RISK/ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED/FIXED IMMEDIATELY!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE I NOTICE A FAIR AMOUNT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. WHEN I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT I OBSERVED THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHIMMY OR MOVE RIGHT TO LEFT ON ITS OWN. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT I KNEW FROM YEARS OF DRIVING THAT STEERING WAS AN ISSUE. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD REPROGRAM THE STEERING SYSTEM AND IF IT RECURRED THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE STEERING MOTOR. THIS DIDN'T REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND IT PROCEEDED TO GET WORST. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RECEIVED LITTLE TO NO ASSISTANCE. THEY DID INFORM ME OF A BULLETIN THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED AND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. THIS I ASSUMED WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT IT DIDN'T. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT GM WOULD ONLY AUTHORIZE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH WAS DONE OR SO I WAS TOLD. THIS DIDN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AS NOT ONLY DO HAVE THE SHIMMY, WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AND THE CAR BECOMES DIFFICULT TO STEER. WHEN THIS OCCURS WARNING CHIMES SOUND AND POWER STEERING APPEARS IN INFORMATION AREA. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURE NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM MULTI TIMES OVER LAST COUPLE YEARS AS U ARE DRIVING OUT OF KNOW WHERE THE POWER STARING COMES ACROSS THE RADIO AND DINGS THEN THE POWER STEERING IS GONE I HAVE TO PUT IN NEUTRAL AND THEN TURN ON AND OFF THE CAR TO RESET. IT I HAVE KIDS AND IT VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING THIS WAY WHY IS IT THAT NY CAR IS NOT IN THE RECALL I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AND WANT IT FIXED KNOW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOURS, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS 85 MILES PER HOURS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN REPETITIVELY TURNED AWAY BY VARIOUS GM DEALERSHIPS TO ADDRESS SERIOUS ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE & POTENTIAL RECALLS. MY ISSUES INCLUDE - STEERING MALFUNCTIONS MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, FAULTY FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE & VEHICLE TO STALL, UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATIONS WHEN BREAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS NEARLY CAUSING ME TO WRECK, POPPING SOUNDS IN THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM, AND FINALLY UNEXPLAINED ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS SUCH AS RADIO SWITCHING CHANNELS ON ITS OWN, FAILURE OF KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM, FAILURE OF REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM, BUZZING OF LIGHTS WHEN DIMMING, AND FLICKERING OF HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERSHIPS THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS A "FLEET CAR" THAT IT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY RECALLS. PROBLEMS BEGAN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. STEERING WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. AT AROUND 65,000 MILES, SYSTEMS BEGAN TO FAIL DESPITE MY REGULAR CARE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH I HAVE DOCUMENTED. AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, I WAS ROUTINELY TURNED DOWN FOR RECALL INSPECTIONS. A RECENT EMISSIONS INSPECTION CAUSED CONCERN BY THE MECHANIC OVER THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE AND I WAS ENCOURAGED TO ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS AGAIN. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR. *TR

STEERING POPS AND SNAPS. SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE IT HAS A "CATCH" IN IT OR ABOUT TO LOCK UP. I KNOW YOU HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT 06 MALIBUS. ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT UNTIL IT'S A FIASCO AND MORE PEOPLE DIE LIKE THE CURRENT COBALT AND HHR MESS? THIS MALIBU PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. I HAVE TALKED, NETWORKED WITH MANY OTHER MALIBU OWNERS. YOU NEED TO STOP CODDLING AND SNUGGLING WITH GM AND GET THESE MALIBUS RECALLED FOR STEERING SAFETY ISSUES. THEY ARE UNSAFE! I CAN SEE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ALSO NAMING YOU AS COMPLICITE. DO YOUR JOB AND QUIT SUCKING GM. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,690. ..UPDATED 04-23-14 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER REFUSED TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE AIR BAG BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. UPDATED 04/24/2014 *JS

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE GM STATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL CONCERNING THE FUEL SYSTEM IE FUEL PUMP ON MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU. THIS RECALL CAUTIONED THAT INTERMITTENT STALLING MAY CREATE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION THAT COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN VEHICLE. AS A RESULT I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS CONDITION CORRECTED ON THE DATE OF THE APPOINTMENT I ARRIVED WITH THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION AND WAS TURNED AWAY. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THIS WAS A LIMITED RECALL AND THE RECALL FOR REPAIR HAD EXPIRED. I WAS ADVISED OF THIS RECALL BY MY REGULAR MECHANIC WHILE IN FOR UNRELATED MAINTENANCE. IT WAS THEN THAT HE INSTRUCTED ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GM TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WITH NOT CHARGE TO ME. BEFORE I HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THIS RECALL, MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED WITH A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT THAT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM IE FUEL SYSTEM. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED ON THIS VEHICLE, AS A RESULT ANOTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH MINE CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES AND POTENTIAL INJURY TO THE 2 OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE. IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ACCIDENT I WILL HAVE TO GET EITHER A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT AND INSURANCE CLAIM INFORMATION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS NECESSARY. THANK YOU *TR

I HAVE AN 06 MALIBU THAT LOST POWER STEERING FOR NO REASON I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HARD I HAVE BEEN READING THE WEBSITE ABOUT RECALLS AND WAS WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER THIS RECALL. *TR

I GOT IN MY CAR LAST NIGHT, COMING FROM OUT THE GROCERY STORE, AND IT WOULDN'T START!....ANTI THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT KEPT BLINKING. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND ITS JANUARY, I WAS FREEZING, CRYING AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THANK GOODNESS I DIDNT HAVE MY DAUGHTER WITH ME....I GOOGLED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED????!!!!!...I TRIED THE 10 MINUTE FIX BUT WHILE DOING IT, IT DRAINED MY BATTERY. EVERY GM CAR I HAD, HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS. THEY DON'T WANT US TO BUY FOREIGN BUT I THINK NEXT TIME I GET A CAR THATS WHERE IM HEADING!...GM YOU ARE RIDICULOUS AND EVERY SITE I GET TO COMPLAIN ON ABOUT YOU, I WILL!!!!....GET THIS FIXED ASAP!! *TR

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND A WARNING SOUNDED AND POWER STEERING DISPLAYED ON STEREO INDICATOR THAT IT HAD STOPPED WORKING. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTATED AND THE POWER STEERING STARTED WORKING AGAIN. A COUPLE MORE MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I REPEATED WHAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE AND WAS ABLE TO FINALLY MAKE IT HOME. IT HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN. THIS COULD DEFINITELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HOPE TO GET IT FIXED SOON. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY GM. *TR

DRIVING 35 MPH AND ACCELERATING THE STEERING GAVE OUT AND LOCKED UP. THE CAR JERKED HARD TO THE MEDIAN TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WAS NOT RECOVERABLE. TOOK MY FOOT OFF PEDAL WHICH ALLOWED CAR TO STOP ALMOST PERPENDICULAR TO THE ROAD. TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED WHICH ALLOWED CONTROL TO MOVE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. DEALER SAYS COMMON PROBLEM WITH ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ASSIST WITH NUMEROUS RECALLS JUST NOT THE 2006 MALIBU. LOOKING AT EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT. *TR

I WAS WORKING ON MY MOTHER-IN-LAWS MALIBU OUT IN THE FRONT YARD AND CRANK IT AFTER LOOKING INTO SOME OTHER ISSUES THIS CAR HAS, AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS ITSELF ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT ON IT'S OWN.I THEN TRY TO TURN IT BACK AND NOTICE THERE IS NO POWER ASSIST. I ASK HER ABOUT IT AND SHE SAID IT HAS DONE THAT A FEW TIMES RECENTLY, WHERE SHE IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, AS EXPLAINED BY OTHERS, A LOT OF DINGING AND THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THANK GOD THIS HASN'T HAPPENED WHILE SHE WAS IN A TURN OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT YET, HOWEVER IF IT DOES, SHE IS 66 YEARS OLD WITH NECK INJURIES AND BACK PROBLEMS, AND IF I HAD TO GUESS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OVERPOWER THE STEERING WITHOUT THE POWER ASSIST OPERATING PROPERLY. IN LOOKING OVER THIS WEBSITE, I NOTICE OTHERS HAVE PAID UPWARDS OF $700 TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED AT NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. HOW MANY OTHERS DOES IT TAKE TO NOTICE THAT TRANS-CANADA HAD A RECALL ON THIS A FEW YEARS BACK AND THE US HAS NEVER HAD AN OFFICIAL SAFETY RECALL. *TR

2006 CHEVY MALIBU MAXX. 3.5 ENGINE. WHEN EXITING A RAMP TO ENTER THE EXPRESSWAY THE STEERING ON OUR 2006 CHEVY MALIBU LOCKED UP PULLING THE CAR ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY BEFORE I COULD GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL . THEN I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I WAS THINKING LOW TIRE OR BROKEN DRIVE BELT ON THE POWER STEERING AS THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER STOPPING AND RAISING THE HOOD I SAW THE BELT WAS OK AND THE TIRE ALSO WAS OK. NEXT I STARTED TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID TO LEARN THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING DIP STICK. I STOOD THERE LOOKING STUPID THINKING MAYBE THIS CAR DID NOT HAVE POWER STEERING. WELL THIS WAS A VERY COLD DAY I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND STARTED THE ENGINE WITH NO POWER STEERING LIGHT. I TURNED THE STEERING WILL AND EVERYTHING WAS OK SO I DROVE SLOWLY TO THE NEXT EXIT. AFTER 500 MILES THIS HAS NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AND I ALMOST HIT A CAR AT INTERSECTION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND THERE WAS SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #10183 (JULY 20, 2110) POWER STEERING ASSIST, BUT MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS COVERAGE, EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE COVERAGE IS THE SAME. A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AT DEALERSHIP VERIFIED CODE CO545- POWER STEERING MODULE. THE PART THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY CAR WAS PART # 25933396- STEERING COLUMN, AS LISTED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE. I HAVE BEEN IN EMAIL/PHONE CONTACT WITH GM SINCE THE INCIDENT. AS OF A PHONE CALL TODAY, THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE COST OF FAULTY STEERING COLUMN OR THE LABOR TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THE TOTAL BILL WAS $645. *TR

WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS MY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKES THEY TURN OFF. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO COME ON WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ALARMS STARTED DINGING, AND POWER STEERING SHOWED UP ON RADIO. I LOST POWER STEERING AND WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I COULD BARELY TURN WHEEL TO AVOID ACCIDENT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED THE STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE LEFT BY ITSELF. ON OCCASION THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND NOW IT IS CONSTANTLY PULLING LEFT. IF I WERE TO LET GO OF THE WHEEL NOW,IT WOULD TURN LEFT AND IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE MINIMAL POWER ASSIST WHEN I TURN RIGHT. IN A NUTSHELL IT NOW FEELS LIKE IT HAS HALF ITS POWER STEERING WORKING ONLY WHEN TURNING LEFT. THERE ALSO IS A CLUNKING NOISE UNDER THE CAR WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL HARD .THIS THUMPING HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR . IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING UNDER THE CAR IS BUMPING THE STEERING LINKAGE WHEN FULLY TURNED. *TR

WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT A RECALL THAT OCCURRED WITH THE ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEMS FOR MALIBU'S. THE MANUFACTURES EXTENDED THE RECALL UP TO 150,000 MILES. ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 23, 2013, WE WERE BACKING OUT OF OUR PARKING SPOT WHEN OUR POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON US. WE HAD NONE. THEN WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, SUDDENLY IT WAS THERE AGAIN. HERE LIES THE PROBLEM; WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND "THEY" INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN THE U.S. HOWEVER, WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED AND SINCE OUR MALIBU WAS OUT OF THE 150,000 MILES; THEY SAID THE RECALL WOULD NOT COVER IT. HOW CAN OWNERS OF CARS/TRUCKS GET THEIR SAFETY ITEMS FIXED, WHEN THEY HAVE NEVER RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE?! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT A PHYSICAL APPEARANCE ISSUE. IF I AM DRIVING ALONG A CORNER AND MY POWER STEERING LOCKS UP, OR SUDDENLY STOPS AND I KILL OR MAIM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? GM? AS I READ THE OTHER "COMPLAINTS" ON THIS SITE; THIS IS NOT ABOUT CAR OWNERS TRYING TO RECEIVE BRAND NEW CARS.WE ALL JUST WANT OUR CARS TO BE FIXED BY THE RECALL REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE AND TO BE SAFE! PERHAPS, WE ALL SHOULD GET TOGETHER AND SUE EVERYONE WHO IS INVOLVED WITH NOT GETTING THE INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC AND GM. JUST A THOUGHT. I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER OWNERS, BUT I CANNOT RESTART MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A CORNER OR GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 55/65 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT A MESSAGE CAME ACROSS MY RADIO/TEMP SCREEN AND SAID POWER STEERING. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I DROVE IT A FEW BLOCKS TO MAKE IT HOME WITH ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING. IT WAS TOUGH, BUT I MADE IT HOME. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING MY POWER STEERING. I SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID ONCE THEY STARTED THEIR CARS AGAIN THE POWER STEERING WORKED, BUT ALSO WENT OUT AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY. SO I WENT OUTSIDE AND STARTED MY CAR AND SURE ENOUGH MY POWER STEERING IS WORKING....FOR NOW. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN FEARING IT WILL GO OUT AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO CONTROL IT AND CAUSE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS BECAUSE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM! *TR

WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN THE GARAGE, THERE WERE 4 CHIMES, AND A MESSAGE ON THE DIC 'POWER STEERING.' THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING HAD FAILED AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BACK THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE. THE CAR WAS THEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED WITH NO RECURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 3 DAYS LATER, SAME PROBLEM. THEN AGAIN, 4 DAYS LATER, SAME SITUATION. WE HAVE NOTIFIED GM OF THE SITUATION. TO US IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL IN CANADA WITH GM CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED. WHY DOESN'T GM RECOGNIZE THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN THE USA? AS I STATED, IT DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME. WE WERE TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO OUR CHEVROLET DEALER BUT UNLESS THE PROBLEM OCCURS AT THE DEALER, THERE IS NO WAY THAT THEY CAN DETECT THE PROBLEM. THE COMPUTER ONLY STORES 'ERROR CODES' FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WE ARE FEARFUL OF DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR

MY CAR HAD A DINGING AND THEN ACROSS THE RADIO IT SAID POWER STEERING AND THE CAR WAS VERY HARD TO STEER, I LOST POWER STEERING. I AM AN OLDER LADY AND SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND I COULD NOT EVEN TURN THE WHEEL. I CALLED MY SON TO COME HELP ME. HE GOT IN AND STARTED THE CAR AND THE RADIO DIDN'T SAY POWER STEERING ANY MORE. HE PULLED OUT AND I FOLLOWED HIM. WE GOT TO OUR STREET AND HE STARTED TO TURN RIGHT INTO OUR DRIVE WAY AND HE ALL OF A SUDDEN THREW UP HIS ARMS. HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CAME AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR STALLED AND THE BELL DINGED AND POWER STEERING CAME ON THE RADIO. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 8/12/13. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND SAID THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR WAS SHORTING OUT AND IT WOULD COST ME 699.03 TO FIX. I HAD NO MONEY TO GET IT FIXED AND THE DEALER SAID THEY RE SET THE COMPUTER AND SAID I SHOULD HAVE IT FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY SON TOOK THE CAR HOME AND IT HAPPENED TWICE ON THE WAY HOME. ON 9/25/13 WE HAD OUR LOCAL DEALER REPLACE THE MOTOR. THEY TOLD ME THE CODE THE COMPUTER READ SAID IT WAS EITHER THE ASSIST MOTOR OR THE STEERING COLUMN. THEY SAID THE MOTOR WAS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE AND REPLACED IT. THE TOTAL WAS 643.78 AND THE INITIAL INSPECTION WAS 99.53. ON 10/18/13 I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN AS I WAS DRIVING INTO THE LOCAL MARKET PARKING LOT, DING,DING, DING AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR IN THE LOT AND COULDN'T STEER IT. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID IT IS

THE FIRST NOTICE OF MY EPS PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MY FRONT END ALIGNED. THE LOSS OF CONTROL TO THE STEERING BEGAN AROUND JULY OF 2013. IT HAS OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY SINCE THEN. IT'S HAPPEN TO MY WIFE ON THE STREETS AND TO ME ALSO. I DID SOME BASIC RESEARCH DUE TO THE POTENTIAL COSTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THIS INCLUDED THE INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT OF THE EPS FUSE, EXAMINING THE IGNITION COIL AND CHECKING THE ALTERNATOR. IT STILL RECURS. HAS THERE BEEN A FACTORY RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE'S STEERING PROBLEMS? *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR OVERHEATING. THIS CAR OVERHEATED AND ANTIFREEZE CAME POURING OUT OF THE OVERFILL HOSE. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK IT AND FIX IT, NEXT DAY SAME THING. THE CAR ANTI-THEFT LIGHT COME ON, THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES FREEZE UP. THIS CAR SOMETIMES TURNS ON AND OFF BY ITSELF, YES THE KEY NEED NOT BE INSIDE. THE BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE AND I SPENT FUNDS TO CHANGE IT. HELP!!! THIS CAR SEEMS TO BE A RECALL BIG TIME. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU, INTERMITTENTLY WON'T START. WILL START WITH REMOTE START KEY FOB ONLY. STRANDS ME DAILY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. REPLACED STARTER LAST YEAR WITH NO RESOLVE, NOW OCCURS RANDOMLY WITH NO RHYME OR REASON. READ ONLINE FORUMS SEEMS TO BE THE ANTI THEFT PASSIVE LOCK SYSTEM FAILING TO ALLOW THE CAR TO START. *JS

I WAS TURNING OFF OF A BRIDGE AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I ALMOST HIT A HOUSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, I BOUGHT IT FROM THEM NEW, NOT USED. THEY KEPT IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN LOCKING UP OFF AND ON EVER SINCE. NOW I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. THEY TOLD ME EVERY TIME I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER, THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. NOW IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY SAY THEY CAN FIX IT. I HAVE TO BUY A NEW STEERING COLUMN AND PAY THEM TO INSTALL IT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. WILL IT TAKE PEOPLE GETTING KILLED FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE STEERING COLUMN, STEERING BOX, AND SEVERAL OTHER UNKNOWN COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 55 MPH AND MY CAR STALLED AND THE LOSS POWER CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL CAR REPAIR BUSINESS. THEY PUT IN A 3 PART FUEL SYSTEM KIT/ACD12568796 THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY ELE AND THE BILL CAME TO $654.92. THE MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 153101. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM AN INDIVIDUAL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR APRIL 2013 I KNEW THE GAS GAUGE DIDN'T WORK BUT I THOUGHT THAT'S OK I'LL JUST KEEP THE TANK FILLED UP AT ALL TIME. BUT I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WHEN IT IS IN IDLE POSITION. IT ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STOP ON ME. I'VE ASKED THE CAR REPAIR BUSINESS AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST ME $700.00. ALSO I HAD THE CALIPERS REPLACED AT ON 10/5/12 WITH A MILEAGE OF 147005 WHICH COST ME $531.92. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING. *TR

I HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE THE DAY AFTER I GOT IT. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THEN A MONTH AND WITHIN 24 HOURS OF HAVING IT THE ISSUES STARTED. THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY, WHEN I FILL THE TANK. THE STARTER WILL CRANK BUT THE CAR WILL NOT ALWAYS START, SOMETIMES THE START IS A LONG CRANK & SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT START AT ALL, NOW TODAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A POPPING NOISE. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND DOESN'T UNLOCK UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN I TRY AND PASS OTHER CARS IT WILL LOCK UP. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT ITS THE POWER ASSIST UNIT GETTING TOO HOT AND SHUTS OFF SO IT DOES NOT FRY THE MOTOR OF THE UNIT. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *JS

DRIVERS SEAT BROKE, THE LATCH THAT SECURES IT TO THE FLOOR.
