TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR WORK THAT WAS ALREADY DONE ON HER VEHICLE. REFERRED CONTACT TO CHEVROLET MANUFACTURER. LNC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGED AND FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO WORK. THE FAILURE RECURRED OVER A PERIOD OF FOUR MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) BUT DID NOT CONFIRMED IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

SINCE PURCHASING MY CAR IN AUGUST 2013, I HAVE HAD TO MAKE THREE FAIRLY COSTLY REPAIRS. EACH TIME THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS WAS A "KNOWN PROBLEM" FOR CHEVROLETS. THE FIRST WAS THE INTAKE VALVE. I HADN'T EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS BUT TOOK THE CAR IN FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SQUEALING BELT. THE SQUEALING TURNED OUT TO BE THE WATER PUMP. SINCE THAT WAS SECONDARY IN IMPORTANCE TO THE INTAKE VALVE, I HAD THAT REPLACED FIRST. FOLLOWED BY THE WATER PUMP A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. THEN ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND MY CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK OR REVERSE. IT WAS A WORN AND STRETCHED SHIFTER CABLE. HOWEVER GM SAYS MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. BEFORE IT WENT COMPLETELY OUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MOVING WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED. THE WHEEL APPEARED TO BE JUMPING. THIS HAPPENED ON THE SAME DAY THAT GM ANNOUNCED THE RECALL FOR THE STEERING ISSUES ON 2006 AND 2008 MALIBU'S. I CALLED GM TO TELL THEM ABOUT MY CAR AND THEY TOLD ME TO BAD THAT MINE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I'M SURE GM USED THE SAME PARTS IN ALL THREE YEARS 2006, 2007, & 2008. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN AND AIR BAG MODULE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V252000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL , EXTERIOR LIGHTING , SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,888.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON AFTER ABOUT 7 SECONDS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEN GO BACK ON WHEN I AM STOPPED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THE RECALL LIST. I ALSO HAVE THE ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING GOING OUT AND HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE LAST FALL WHEN I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK- IT WAS RIPPED IN HALF. CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING YEARS AGO. POWER MIRRORS DO NOT WORK. CHECK AIR BAG REMINDER GOES ON RANDOMLY. THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE AND VERY UNSAFE. *TR

WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK THE CAR KEPT MOVING. I HAD TO DRIVE TO A SAFE FLAT AREA TO STOP IT AND TURN OFF THE CAR. THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE WAS RIPPED IN HALF. I SEE THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER YEARS BUT NOT FOR 2007. I AM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. I ENTERED MY VIN ON THE GM SITE, BUT MY CAR IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY OF THE RECALLS. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WHEN IT IS HAVING THE SAME IDENTICAL ISSUES AS THE RECALLED MALIBUS OF OTHER YEARS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND WOULD SHAKE WHILE PARKED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A STEERING CALIBRATION OF THE SENSORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, THE STEERING WHEEL CLICKS AND GETS VERY HARD TO STEER LIKE IT'S PULLING TO THE SIDE, CAUSING ME TO OVERCORRECT BY STEERING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION- IT FEELS LIKE I AM GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND IS VERY FRIGHTENING BUT THEN IT STOPS. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE ENTERED MY VIN ON THE GM SITE BUT IT SAYS I AM NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WHEN I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM? I AM ALSO HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS- THEY GO ON WHEN I AM NOT BRAKING AND OFF WHEN I DO. I HAD TO REPLACE THE GEAR SHIFT LAST FALL BECAUSE IT BROKE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT STAY IN PARK. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO IF I AM NOT ON THE RECALL LIST? THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE- I WILL NEVER, EVER BUY A GM CAR AGAIN. *TR

WOW, ME AND WIFE [XXX] ALMOST CRASHED FRIDAY EVENING AFTER THE STEERING GOT SO TIGHT AND COULDN'T CONTROL OR STEER THE CAR. I'VE OWNED CAR SINCE 2007 AND THIS WAS REALLY VERY VERY VIOLENT SURPRISE TO US. WE ARE STILL IN SHOCK AND VERY SCARED..

INTERMITTENT / OCCASIONAL "STEERING LOCK" ,"TORQUE STEER". WHILE TURNING, UNDER ACCELERATION A WARNING BELL RINGS, THE STEERING "LOCKS" FOR A "SECOND". FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND NORMAL STEERING RETURNS. IT TOOK ME A LITTLE WHILE TO UNDERSTAND THE "BELL" AS I WAS CONCENTRATING ON THE STEERING AND DON'T NOTICE ANY WARNING LIGHTS. WHILE ONLY HAPPENING "RARELY" IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY LAST WEEK. CURIOUS WHY OTHER YEARS OF THIS MODEL (WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST) ARE UNDER RECALL AND NOT THIS MODEL. *JS

2007 CHEVY MALIBU STARTED HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND BEGAN FLASHING ON MY DISPLAY SCREEN. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, WHEN RESTARTED THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. IT WAS FINE FOR AWHILE AND THEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE POWER STEERING WOULD JUST GO OUT. IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THEN THE POWER STEERING BEGAN FLASHING AND BEEPING ON MY DISPLAY SCREEN BUT THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING JUST FINE. NOW IT IS BEGINNING TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND I AM NOT SURE WHY EVERY OTHER MODEL WITH THIS PROBLEM IS BEING RECALLED AND THIS ONE IS NOT. *TR

POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO LIGHT UP ON RADIO FROM TIME TO TIME AND MAKES CAR DIFFICULT TO TURN. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST START MY CAR STARTS THEN GOES A WAY A FEW MINUTES AFTER STARTING. WAS ONLY HAPPENING LIKE ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS BUT IT HAS BEEN BECOMING A COMMON OCCURRENCE LATELY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I HIT AN EMBANKMENT. THE DASH DINGED TO LET ME KNOW THAT IT HAD WENT OUT. IT COMES AND GOES WHEN IT GOES OUT. IT WILL STAY ON AND THEN IT WILL GO OUT. WHEN IT DOES GO OUT THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR WILL DING AND LET ME KNOW. *TR

NOTICED AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT WHEN EVER PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR JUST ACCELERATING QUICKLY AT ALL THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT CAUSING THE WHEEL TO BE "STRAIGHTENED" BACK UP WHICH YANKS THE CAR REALLY HARD CAUSING FOR QUICK CORRECTION WHICH CAN LEAD TO OVER CORRECTION AND THEN A WRECK. VERY DANGEROUS IN THE RAIN OR SNOWY/ICY CONDITIONS SINCE IT YANKS THE WHEEL BACK STRAIGHT AND CAUSES THE CAR TO SLIDE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CAN HEAR AUDIBLE CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE COLUMN AND SOMETIMES EVEN THE WARNING DINGING THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL FAILED. SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE EVENTUALLY IT WILL CAUSE WRECKS AND QUITE FRANKLY DEATHS! VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN THIS HAPPENS! AND APPARENTLY ITS NOT JUST MY CAR. *TR
