I HAVE AN 2007 MALIBU LS V6, ONE NIGHT I PLACED MY CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, REMOVED MY KEY AND SEATBELT LIKE I NORMALLY DO AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. I ATTEMPTED TO PRESS THE BRAKES WHICH DID NOT RESPOND AND THE CAR ROLLED OFF OF A SMALL CLIFF. I ALONG WITH A PASSENGER WERE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND SINCE WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF EXITING WE WERE THROWN FORWARD WHEN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE HIT THE GROUND. I PLAYED THAT DAY BACK SO MANY TIMES AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE CAR DID THAT. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EVENT AND I DON'T ATTEMPT TO PARK ON INCLINES ANYMORE. SINCE THIS EVENT, I HAVE RECEIVED TWO RECALLS FROM THE COMPANY WITH NO DATE IN CORRECTING THE ISSUE. I AM AFRAID I WILL ATTEMPT TO STOP AND THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AGAIN. THANK GOODNESS THIS FIRST TIME DID NOT RESULT IN A PHYSICAL INJURY, JUST A TRAUMATIZING EVENT. *TR

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT, I WAS TOLD NO RECALL FOR 2007 MODEL. I TOOK IT TO THE WEISNER GM DEALERSHIP AND PAID $721.03 TO HAVE STEERING MOTOR AND MODULE REPLACED ON 08/21/14. I PICKED THE CAR UP AT 5:30PM THE SAME DAY, AS SOON AS I STARTED HOME I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], HAD LEFT. I LEFT HIM A VOICEMAIL. HE CALLED ME THE NEXT MORNING AND LEFT ME A VOICEMAIL EXPLAINING THAT GM WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING THAT COULD BE WRONG WITH MY CAR, RUDELY! I CALLED HIM BACK AND HE AGAIN STARTED A RANT, I ASKED HIM TO PLEASE LISTEN TO ME, THE CUSTOMER. HE SAID THE EARLIEST HE COULD GET MY CAR IN WILL BE 08/25/14. ON FRIDAY I DROVE MY CAR FOR WORK, I AM A COURIER. IN THE AFTERNOON AROUND 3:30 WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN THE CHIMES SOUNDED AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN! I CALLED HIM, [XXX], BACK AND TOLD HIM THAT I WAS IN A TURN AT THE TIME AND ALMOST HIT A BARRIER. HE SAID HE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL HE GETS THE CAR BACK. I TOLD HIM I TRIED TO GET THE CAR BACK TO HIM BUT HE REFUSED AND SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY TIME UNTIL MONDAY, 08/25. I HAVE EXPLAINED TO HIM, FROM THE BEGINNING, THAT I AM A COURIER AND AM ON THE ROAD AT LEAST 6 HOURS/DAY AND THAT I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT I WAS AFRAID OF HAVING A WRECK BUT I CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO WORK SINCE MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY 2 MONTHS AGO. HE SAID HE HAD NO LOANER CARS. I CALLED THE 866 NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER CARE AND SPOKE WITH KELSEY WHO OPENED A TICKET AND ESCALATE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. AFTER THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE OPERATED NORMALLY UNTIL 3/4 OF FUEL WAS LEFT IN THE TANK. ONCE THE FUEL WAS AT 3/4, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AS EMPTY. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000. UPDATED 10/7/14*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. UPDATED 3/11/2015 *JS

THE FUEL PUMP IN MY 2007 CHEVY MALIBU WENT OUT. WE REPLACED THE PUMP, THIS LASTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND WENT OUT. REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER PUMP, THIS ONE LASTED ABOUT A WEEK AND WENT OUT. *TR

CAR DRIVES WITHOUT KEY TURNED ALL THE WAY TO 111. BRAKES ARE UNRELIABLE...SCARES MY WIFE AND I!! CAR DIES OUT UPON ACCELERATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS UNDER MANY DIFFERENT CONDITIONS ON AND OFF THE FREEWAY, MY STEERING WHEEL HAS SUDDENLY STARTED TO SHIMMY BACK AND FORTH AS THE "POWER STEERING" WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH CONSOLE AND AN ALARM PINGS OUT THREE TIMES IN RAPID SUCCESSION. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING DURING THESE OCCASIONS AS I FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL TO ENSURE CONTROL OF THE CAR'S DIRECTION. THE CONDITION PERSISTS STILL TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX. *TR

THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND I AM NOT AT ALL HAPPY. JUST RECEIVED 2 RECALLS ON IT FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND FOR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE STEERING HAVING A CLUNKING SOUND AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE A TIRE BECAUSE OF IT. TIRES WERE PURCHASED LAST OCTOBER. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND OTHER RECALLS. MY SON HAS TO USE THIS CAR TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO WORK WHICH IS ONLY 7 MILES ONE WAY, AND I DO NOT EVEN TRUST IT THAT FAR. WE GET TOLD WE WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS FOR THE RECALLS ARE AVAILABLE, MEANWHILE SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN AND IF IT DOES YOU MAY JUST HAVE A LAWSUIT ON YOUR HANDS. I JUST WANT TO GIVE THE CAR BACK AND GET SOMETHING ELSE WITHOUT HAVING TO ADD THE REMAINING BALANCE DUE TO A NEW LOAN. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 07 CHEVROLET MALIBU IN FEB 2007. THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM STARTED LAST SUMMER! THE STEERING WHEEL IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M PARKING OR TURNING ONTO A STREET. I HAVE TO RESET THE STEERING BY TURNING THE CAR OFF/ON. IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, I WENT TO THE ER WITH CHEST PAIN AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A PULLED MUSCLE IN MY CHEST. I TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC IN JUNE, AND WAS QUOTED $600 TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING. IT AMAZES ME THAT 2004-2006, AND 2008 WERE RECALLED BUT NOT 2007. THIS IS NOT FAIR AT ALL. PLEASE RECALL THIS PART BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THIS CAR! *TR

WHENEVER I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE GAS GAUGE WILL REGISTER IT AS FULL WHEN I START IT UP. BUT AFTER GOING 10 FEET THE CAR WILL CHIME AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL GO FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND I WILL GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS LOW FUEL. WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON THE NEXT TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AFTER DRIVING 30 MILES OR SO THE FUEL GAUGE WILL GO FROM EMPTY TO FULL A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT WILL READ CORRECTLY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR A FEW MORE ENGINE ON AND OFF CYCLES AND THEN TURN OFF. WHEN IT GETS TO ABOUT 1/4 TANK IT WILL START ACTING UP AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON. THE CRUISE CONTROL IS FAIRLY AGGRESSIVE WHEN IT IS GOING BACK TO THE SPEED IT IS SET AT AND THE CAR JERKS WHEN I REACTIVATE IT. I CALLED THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO ORDER THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL BRAKE LIGHTS MAY OR MAY NOT ILLUMINATE THE PERSON TOLD ME THAT SHE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THE RECALL AND GAVE ME THE EXCUSE THAT IT WAS FAIRLY NEW AND I MIGHT NOT BE IN THE SYSTEM YET BUT I WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER LOOKING AT IT WITH MY OWN EYES. WILL CALL ASAP AND ASK ABOUT IT AGAIN. *TR

A COUPLE OF ISSUES WITH THIS CAR!!! FIRST OFF, THE LATEST RECALL DONE IN 2014 WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING WHEN PEDAL PRESSED BUT DID WHEN PEDAL WASN'T DEPRESSED.AFTER CALLING AND GOING TO MULTIPLE GM DEALERS, I HAD TO RESEARCH HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND TELL THE GM DEALER HOW! THE ISSUE IS STARTING TO ACT UP AGAIN NOW. STARTS OFF WITH THE GEAR SHIFT BEING NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OUT OF PARK AND THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTING UP.WOW, NOW A RECALL? SECOND. THE SEERING WHEEL HAS ON 2 OCCASIONS JERKED VIOLENTLY TO ONE SIDE THEN BACK AND FORTH ON IT'S OWN...WHILE DRIVING! ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER/DASH LIGHTS COME ON IT THEN JERKS AND MAKES A WEIRD NOSE BEFORE IT FLIPS UPSIDE DOWN AND LOCKS UP! MY 15 YEAR OLD NIECE (WHO HAS HAD HER PERMIT 3 MONTHS) WAS DRIVING ONE OF THE TIMES! THIRD - THE AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON / GOES OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I THINK I' SHOULD GET ALL MY $ BACK FROM THE TIMES I TOOK MY CAR IN TO FIND OUT "WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS" AND HAD FIXED (TEMPORARILY APPARENTLY) AND NOW RECALLS ARE COMING! HONESTLY - THERE ARE ENOUGH THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT WHILE DRIVING (DRUNKS, BAD DRIVERS, BLOW OUTS ETC.) IT'S UNSETTLING TO HAVE "KNOWN" ISSUES WITH YOUR VEHICLE BUT THESE COMPANIES WILL NOT FIX! *TR

ALSO, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON AND OFF WHEN A PERSON IS SEATED IN THE CHAIR. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE CHECKED OUT YET, BUT JUST FROM READING REVIEWS ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, WITH AN EXPENSIVE AND NOT ALWAYS FINITE SOLUTION. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL #13036 IN THE MAIL HOWEVER MY CAR HAS BEEN UNSAFE TO DRIVE SINCE JUNE 2014 DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL BEING UNCONTROLLABLE IT JERKS TO THE RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT RANDOMLY IT VIBRATES TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT WHEN IT IS IN PARK, I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT I DON'T THINK THIS HAS ANY THING TO DO WITH THE BRAKES AND I HAVE OBSERVED MANY COMPLAINTS SUCH AS MINE FROM OTHER PEOPLE, CALL LINE PEOPLE TELL ME TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC RUN ON IT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO WORK FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED AND THIS IS SOME SORT OF FAULTY PROBLEM PEOPLE ARE JUST MORE CAUTIOUS DUE TO ALL THE RECALLS.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A TURN. I HAD TO BRAKE SUDDEN SO AS TO NOT RUN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. MESSAGE CAME ACROSS RADIO SAYING POWER STEERING. I PULLED THE CAR OVER WITH ALOT OF DIFFICULTY AND CALLED MY HUSBAND TO COME TO SEE IF WE NEEDED A TOW. WHEN HE ARRIVED AND STARTED CAR IT WORKED FINE. WE CALLED OUR DEALER AS WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONLY 4 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE AS THERE WAS CURRENTLY NO RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR. I AM WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE NOW SINCE THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN AND SINCE READING OTHER COMMENTS FROM OTHERS THAT THIS IS APPARENTLY AN ISSUE THAT GM IS AWARE OF AND NOT CORRECTING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH IN THE PASSING LANE MY 2007 MALIBU SHUT ITSELF OFF. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO COAST ACROSS THE LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. I CALLED 1-800-CHEVUSA AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY IS UP THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. AFTER SPEAKING TO A SUPERVISOR MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS STILL SITTING NOW. MY HUSBAND ALSO SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT CHEVY WHO TOLD HIM THAT SINCE THE WARRANTY IS UP AND THERE IS NO RECALLS WE WERE BASICALLY OUT OF LUCK. MY HUSBAND NICELY EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AT FIRST ON THE COBALT'S EITHER BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT TOOK SOMEONE BEING KILLED FOR THEM TO TAKE THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY. THEY STATE THAT THEY WILL SEND PAPERWORK TO HAVE MY CAR LOOKED AT BY THE CHEVY DEALER BUT WE ARE STILL WAITING. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED FROM THIS AND I HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE GETS RESOLVED AND IF IT IS A RECALL ISSUE THEY DO IT FAST BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

IT'S HAPPENED 3 TIMES, DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE STEERING LOCKS UP. FIRST TIME I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND THE CAR INSTANTLY LOCKED UP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND POWERED CAR OFF THEN STARTED IT BACK UP IT WAS FINE. SECOND TIME ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST TIME WENT THREW A STOP LIGHT STARTED UP A HILL AND THE DASH LIGHTS ALL FLICKER THE RADIO POWERED OFF AND THE SEAT BELT NOISE WENT OFF 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THE CAR LOCKED UP. I PARKED THE CAR POWERED IT OFF. STARTED IT AGAIN IT WAS FINE. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND AGAIN THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND I HAD TO PARK MY CAR AND POWER IT OFF ON A MAIN STREET WHERE IT'S VERY BUSY. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE THIS LAST TIME WAS ON JULY 15, 2014 . THIS CAR WITH ALL THE RECALLS I FEEL IS A DEATH TRAP. *TR

THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SUDDENLY QUIT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING; BOTH AT FREEWAY SPEED AND WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 15 MPH. WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILS THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD MAKE A CLICKING SOUND, SOMETIMES THERE WOULD BE A CHIME AND THE BATTERY LIGHT INDICATOR ON THE DASH. ONLY ONE TIME THE CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAYED "POWER STEERING." WE NARROWLY AVOIDED A CRASH WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE IN THE FREEWAY. THE LOSS OF POWER ASSIST REQUIRED EXERTING MORE FORCE THAN NORMAL TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH THE DIVIDER. WHEN THE POWER STEERING RE-ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING WE SWERVED TOWARDS A TRUCK IN THE ADJACENT LANE. WE TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHO SAID IT'S A FAULTY IGNITION COIL CAUSING A SHORT IN THE POWER STEERING. COST QUOTED WAS $500 TO FIX IN ADDITION TO $450 FOR THE SHIFTER CABLE THAT ALSO WENT OUT. *TR

STEERING SHAKES WHILE DRIVING AND AT IDLE. STEERING WHEEL JERKS TO LEFT SIDE WHILE DRIVING ALSO. STARTS SHAKING AT IGNITION START UP AND CONTINUES UNTIL COMPLETELY POWERED DOWN. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30 MPH VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL HARD TO CONTROL AND JERKS TO THE LEFT MORE OFTEN. *TR

THE BRAKES SHUDDER AND SHAKE THE CAR UNTIL YOU THINK IT IS GOING TO COME APART AS YOU APPLY THEM AT ANY SPEED. THIS CAR USED TO BELONG TO MY BROTHER AND A SALESMAN DROVE IT AND WAS SCARED TO DEATH THE WHOLE TIME. IT HAS ABOUT 90,000 ON IT NOW AND HE GAVE IT TO ME TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. HE IS A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE AND DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO MONKEY WITH THIS STUFF. HE JUST BUYS MORE CARS IF HE NEEDS THEM. HE HAS SPENT MONEY TO TRY TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH REPAIR SHOPS, ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, YOU NAME IT. HE EVEN HAS A SPEED SHOP THAT HE HOLDS WORLD RECORDS PRODUCING FAST THINGS AND HAS A GREAT STAFF THAN CAN FIX ANYTHING ON EARTH. BUT THAT IS NOT HIS REAL BUSINESS. HE WOULDN'T SPEND ANYMORE TIME OR HAVE ANYONE ELSE TRY TO FIX IT ANYMORE UNTIL THE FACTORY OWNS UP TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT. I WAS GOING TO LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE IT BUT WITH A NEW BABY I CAN'T ALLOW THAT. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY TO DRIVE AND I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. HE REALLY DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THIS BAD. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. FIRST NOTICED THIS BECAUSE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT SET. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS AT LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THE STOPLAMP SWITCH TO BE FAULTY AND REPLACED. THREE DAYS LATER, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON AGAIN WITHOUT PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. TOOK IT IN AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY FOUND A BULLETIN ON PROBLEM AND APPLIED DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE BCM CONNECTORS. WITHIN A MONTH, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY, BUT DID NOT TAKE IN. SINCE MAY 2014, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS ON WHILE DRIVING EVEN THOUGH BRAKE PEDAL NOT PRESSED. LOOKED UP SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON SAFERCAR.GOV AND FOUND RECALL NOTICE ON VEHICLE. CALLED GM, GAVE THEM MY VIN AND GM RECALL NUMBER (13036) AND THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY DOCUMENTED PROBLEMS IN MY SERVICE HISTORY AND I SHOULD GO TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE. WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND SHOWED THEM PRINTED COPY OF RECALL FROM SAFERCAR.GOV AND RELAYED CONVERSATION WITH GM. DEALERSHIP STATED, AFTER AN AFTERNOON WITH CAR, THAT RECALL NUMBER DID NOT EXIST AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ACTIVE RECALLS FOR MY CAR. I ASKED ABOUT THE SERVICE RECORD AND HOW COME THE 2012 SERVICES WERE NOT INCLUDED, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS ONLY ELECTRICAL AND NOT REALLY SIGNIFICANT SO THEY DID NOT TO DOCUMENT IT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT BECAUSE SAFERCAR.GOV IS NOT GM, THEY COULD NOT BELIE

THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2007 MALIBU LS SUDDENLY STARTED JERKING BOTH TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. AS I TURNED RIGHT, THE CAR WAS HARDER TO TURN AS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL JERKING AND MOVING THE WHOLE CAR IN SEVERAL DEGREES FURTHER THAN I MOVED IT AND THEN JERKED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. AS I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, I REMOVED MY HANDS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT WAS MOVING ON ITS OWN LEFT AND RIGHT. ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER THE WARNING CAME ON MY RADIO INDICATOR. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO GET CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WAS OUT AND SO WAS THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR AND THAT WITH PARTS, LABOR AND TAX IT WOULD COST $1,478.69 TO FIX AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED. *TR

MY CAR STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AND PULL TO THE LEFT I GOT OUT AND CHECKED MY WHEELS AS I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNING ON ITS OWN. CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT CAN'T BE STEERED . *TR

WHEN I WOULD TURN A CORNER THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE. I TOOK IT TO GET A WHEEL ALIGNMENT THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. AS TIME WENT BY IT GOT HARDER TO STEER, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK. IT WAS GETTING SO HARD TO DRIVE I WAS AFRAID TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE.I HAD TO GO TO OLYMPIA FOR SUPPLIES. I WAS DRIVING FROM MY HOME IN GRAPEVIEW TO OLYMPIA AND THE WHEEL PULLED SO VIOLENT ON HWY 101 I WAS AFRAID I WOULD DRIVE INTO ANOTHER CAR.IT WAS MOSTLY JERKING TO THE RIGHT SO I STAYED IN THE RIGHT LANE SO I WOULDN'T HIT ANOTHER CAR BUT JUST GO OFF THE HWY. IT PULLED SO FAST AND HARD IT HURT MY WRISTS. I WOULD HAVE CALLED FOR A TOW BUT DIDN'T HAVE MY CELL PHONE. I WAS CLOSER TO OLYMPIA THAN HOME SO I MADE THE DECISION TO GO THERE. I DROVE IT TO THE TITIS-WILL CHEVROLET IN OLYMPIA AND THEY ADVISED ME TO LEAVE IT THERE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. AND THEY REPAIRED IT A FEW DAYS LATER. I READ ON THE INTERNET OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT CHEVROLET COMPANY WOULDN'T HELP THEM. *TR

THIS INCIDENT REPORT SHOULD ACTUALLY COUNT AS THREE COMPLAINTS, SINCE THE POWER STEERING FAILURE ON THIS CAR HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON 8/13/10, MILEAGE 14950. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON 3/17/11, MILEAGE 18001. THE THIRD TIME WAS YESTERDAY, 6/2/14, MILEAGE 49852, THIS IS GETTING TO BE RIDICULOUS THAT I KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING UNIT ON THIS VEHICLE. COUNTING THE ORIGINAL, THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH POWER STEERING UNIT. WHEN THE PUMP FAILS, ALL DRIVEABILITY IS LOST, AND THE CAR BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. LUCKILY, IN TWO OF THE INCIDENTS, I WAS DRIVING A SPEED OF AROUND 35MPH. YESTERDAY'S FAILURE HAPPENED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO DENVER, AND WAS TO BE DRIVING ON I-25. NOW I'M NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE FAILURE HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE, BUT I NOW HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOT CONFIDENCE THAT THIS 2007 MALIBU IS SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD. GM SHOULD OFFER FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE POWER STEERING UNITS, IN THESE CARS, FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. AVERAGING A LIFE OF 12K MILES FOR THE UNIT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD LOVE IF THE CEO OF GM, [XXX], WOULD TAKE THIS CAR OFF MY HANDS FOR ABOUT A MONTH, AND USE IT TO DRIVE HER FAMILY AROUND.
