2007 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

THE MALIBU STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHILE RUNNING WHILE STOPPED AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING LOCKS UP AND STOPS ALLOWING ME TO TURN, THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T TURN. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSISTANCE IS RECALLED ON NEWER MODELS OF THIS MALIBU BUT I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS ONE AND I AM UPSET THAT CHEVROLET DIDN'T RECALL ALL OF THE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME SYSTEM AND ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER HIS WIFE STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME DIFFICULT TO STEER. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER HARVEST CHEVROLET (1600 E YAKIMA AVE, YAKIMA, WA 98901) WHERE THE POWER STEERING WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RELATED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PINEGAR CHEVROLET BUICK GMC OF BRANSON (163 ADAIR RD, BRANSON, MO 65616) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE POWER STEERING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THEIR LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165,000.

LOSS OF POWER STREERING. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND USED BACK ROADS TO GET HOME SAFELY. LOOKING UP RECALLS, I WONDERED WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON IT. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE SAME YEAR FOR THE RECALL ISSUED FOR CHEV MALIBU WITH THE SAME THING HAPPENING WITH THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT START-UP OR WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT CALLED DUTEAU CHEVROLET (7300 S 27TH ST, LINCOLN, NE 68512, (866) 735-2310) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE SPECIAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPAIR THE POWER STEERING SINCE THE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE BEING OVER 150,000 MILES. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING) WHICH HE LINKED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 176,000.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS WITHOUT WARNING. I'VE REPLACED POWER STEERING 2 YEARS AGO AND VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE.

POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES ON SAME AS RECALLS THAT WERE ISSUED FOR 2008 MALIBU MODELS AND CAR OFTEN SHAKES NOISE TICKING UNDER HOOD RPMS GO ABOVE NORMAL AT HIGHER SPEEDS

THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. OK IN FILLED THE TANK UP TODAY AND PUT IN A LOCUS FUEL CLEANER (01/22/2021) ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE MY CAR WAS GASPING FOR GAS. MY FUEL GAUGE KEEPS MOVING UP IN DOWN. EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK UP IT WOULD CHIME DROP TO EMPTY ACCULERATE LIKE IT WAS HAVING A HARD TIME BREATHING SPIKE BACK UP TO THE FUEL LEVEL START DRIVING FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN DROP DOWN TO E. NOW THE CAR IS HAVING A HARD TIME START LIK IT IS NOT GETTING ANY GAS AT ALL. I HAVE READ SEVERL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUSE

THE CAR IS LEAKING COOLING FLUID AND WONT STAY UP AND WHEN U DRIVE CAR IT LEAKS KEEP DRINKING IT TO FAST AND GAS DRINKS TO MUCH GAS

POWER STEERING FAILED DURING LOW SPEED LEFT TURN, POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET. CAR HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THROUGHOUT 2020 WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT DEPRESSION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. CRUISE CONTROL WILL ALSO NOT FUNCTION WHEN THIS MALFUNCTION IS OCCURRING. I AM CONVINCED THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT PROMPTED A RECALL BACK IN 2014. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED THROUGH THE RECALL CAMPAIGN, HOWEVER, I'M CONVINCED THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT POSES A SAFETY RISK AND RAISES THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEONE REAR-ENDING ME IF MY BRAKE LIGHTS AREN'T OPERATING AS THEY SHOULD. IN MY ATTACHED PHOTO, YOU WILL SEE THE BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. SIMPLY SHAKING IT OR PUSHING IT IN AND OUT SEEMS TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY.

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES ON ITS OWN WHILE IDLING. PULL CAR IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS WHILE DRIVING

THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING AND THE POWER STEERING INFO LIGHT APPEARS.

OUR 2007 CHEVY MALIBU LS HAS 83,000 MILES ON IT. WE BOUGHT IT NEW AT RED WING CHEVROLET IN 2007. 82,000 MILES WERE PUT ON IT THE FIRST THREE YEARS WE OWNED IT. THE REST WERE WHEN WE ONLY DROVE IT IN THE SUMMER TIME TO SPECIAL OCCASIONS. LATELY WE HAVE BEEN NOTICING THAT THE STEERING JERKS ONCE IN A WHILE. TODAY THE WARNING "POWER STEERING" CAME ON THE DISPLAY. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WAS ONLY VIN SPECIFIC, AND OUR CAR WASN'T ONE OF THEM!! HELLO, WE HAVE A 2007 MALIBU AND IT DOES HAVE THAT PROBLEM!! THERE SHOULD BE A LEGAL OBLIGATION FOR THEM TO COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR.

I HAVE A 2007 MALIBU. AFTER CHANGE BATTERY, THE POWER STEERING IS GONE, "POWER STEERING" APPEARS ON RADIO PANEL. I SEARCH THE REALLY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2007 MALIBU, BUT MY CAR IS NOT IN THE LIST WHEN CHECK THE VIN

BLINKER IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURNING OF AND BLINKER ARM IS COMING APART AT THE END OF ARM WHEN DRIVING AND HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF TERRAIN I AM DRIVING ON

I USED TO GET A WARNING TO "SERVICE AIRBAGS" ON THE STEREO DISPLAY, AND A CHIME, TYPICALLY WHEN I FIRST STARTED UP THE CAR. THIS STARTED WHEN I WAS LIVING IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. I DROVE WITH MY BACKPACK ON THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND OCCASIONALLY THAT SEAT WOULD CHIME FOR PASSENGER TO BUCKLE UP. THE SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE WOULD STAY UP FOR ABOUT 5 MILES OF DRIVING, THEN WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE AGAIN. FINALLY CAUGHT IT IN THE ACT, GOT IT TO A DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THEIR DIAGNOSTIC CAME UP WITH A PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR WAS FAILING/HAD FAILED. THE ONLY REMEDY OFFERED WAS TO CLEAR THE COMPUTER, OR CONSIDER A BRAND NEW PASSENGER SEAT (WHICH AT THAT TIME EXCEEDED THE ESTIMATED BLUE BOOK VALUE). CLEARING THE COMPUTER OF THAT TROUBLE CODE LASTED ABOUT A WEEK. COULDN'T OFFER MORE INFO SUCH AS IF THE AIRBAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY IF NEEDED, OR IF IT WAS LIKE A JACK-IN-THE-BOX AND MIGHT TRIP UNNECESSARILY. THAT WAS ALMOST 5 YEARS AGO, THIS SUMMER IT STOPPED ADVISING ME OF THE NEED FOR SERVICE. I'M NOT SURE IF THE SENSOR FINALLY GAVE OUT, OR IF SOME COMPONENT(S) WERE DAMAGED IN A COLLISION THAT RIPPED OFF THE BUMPER THIS WINTER.

INTERMENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. MY MOTHER IS SELLING ME THE CAR AND WE GOT IT CHECKED OUT. I LOOKED INTO CHEVY RECALLS AND IT STATES A RECALL ON 06-08 MALIBU'S FOR A TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY AND THAT I NEEDED TO CALL CHEVY. I CONTACTED CHEVY ON 05/29/2020 AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE THAT STATED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO GET THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING FIXED. DECIDED TO CALL MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS PRETTY MUCH TOLD 'WELL THAT RECALL EXPIRED IN 2016' REGARDLESS OF EXPIRATION DATE THE PART HAS GONE OUT IN MY CAR AND IS CONTINUING TO DO SO. I AGREED TO GET THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST RAN AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP BUT WAS BASICALLY TOLD THEY WOULD DO NOTHING REGARDLESS OF WHAT CODE CAME ABOUT. REGARDLESS OF EXPIRATION YEAR ON A RECALL IF SOMETHING IS FAULTY BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURER PLACED FAULTY PARTS AND WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY NOW THAT IT NEEDS FIXED.

THE IS A MESSAGE THAT COMES ACROSS THE RADIO SCREEN TO SERVICE AIRBAG. IT IS REFERRING TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT THE AIRBAG ON LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON THE INDICATOR LOCATED ABOVE THE RADIO. IT CONTINUES TO STATE THE AIRBAG IS OFF. ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE PART REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS DISCONTINUED BY GM AND THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET PART FOR THIS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT IS A MODULE. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY CURRENT RECALLS TO MY KNOWLEDGE. MY CONCERN IS THIS IS AN IMPORTANT FEATURE TO HAVE AND THERE BEING NO REPLACEMENT PART IS TROUBLING. *TR

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING, IT COMES BACK TO NORMAL WHEN I RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS POWER STEERING LOSS HAPPENS RANDOMLY FEW TIMESA WEEK TO ONCE EVERY WEEK OR TWO. I RESEARCH THE VEHICLE RECALL HISTORY AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY CAR YEAR, MODEL AND TYPE, THE ISSUE IS CHEVY WONT COVER MY CAR RECALL SINCE ITS MANUFACTURED DATE IS JUST OUTSIDE THEIR SPECIFIED DATE FOR RECALL. I WOULD ARGUE THAT THE RECALL SHOULD COVER MY CAR SINCE IT FELLS UNDER RECALL YEAR, MODEL AND TYPE, IM ALMOST CERTAIN IT USES THE SAME PART WHICH CREATED THE PROBLEM.

PASSENGER LOW BEAM LIGHTS CONTINUE TO TURN OFF/BURN OUT. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER LOW BEAM LIGHT BULB. IT SOMETIMES COME ON WHEN I DRIVE ON A BUMPY ROAD.

POWER STEERING LOOSES POWER DUE TO FAILURE OF THE TORQUE SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN. IT CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE AND FORCING THE CAR TO TURN AND LOOSE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING

THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN LOST ON MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOW IT HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING DURING THIS PAST YEAR. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE POWER STEERING IS LOST. IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT TO STEER THE CAR AND MOVE OVER OR TURN A CORNER. IT'S A CRITICAL SAFETY FACTOR! FOR AN SENIOR WOMEN, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER.LUCKILY, IT'S ONLY HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAS COME ON WHEN THE CAR HAS STOPPED, LIKE AT A TRAFFIC STOP. USUALLY, I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT ON AGAIN. A DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING SENSORS AND MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM FOR OTHER 2007 MALIBU'S. I ALSO HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS BECAUSE I TRANSPORT MY ELDERLY MOTHER. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. DRIVERS SEAT BELT IS NOT ENGAGED - INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWS PROBLEM THAT IT IS NOT ENGAGED. CONCERNED IT WON'T WORK IN AN ACCIDENT

I HAVE A POWER STEERING ISSUE PRESUMABLY RELATED TO THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE OPTING TO REMEDY BY WAY OF A RECALL/REPAIR AT THEIR COST THEY CLAIM DOESN'T APPLY TO MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE - 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. I CONTACTED GM A YEAR AGO AT 134,000 MILES TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS THEN INFORMED I AM "JUST OUTSIDE" THE RANGE BEING COVERED. THE ISSUE WENT AWAY SHORTLY THEREAFTER BUT HAS RESURFACED. MOREOVER, THEY APPARENTLY WERE COVERING THIS PROBLEM ON 2007 YEAR MODELS AT SOME POINT ACCORDING TO THIS ARTICLE: HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/RECALL-ALERT-2006-2007-CHEVROLET-MALIBU-AND-MALIBU-MAXX-PONTIAC-G6-1420668845347/ MY ISSUE IS PRESENTING THE SAME WAY AS HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/GENERATION HAVE DESCRIBED. A GOOGLE SEARCH AND TEN MINUTES OF READING YIELD A PLETHORA OF RESULTS ATTESTING TO THIS. I DO UNDERSTAND MY VEHICLE IS OLDER AND THINGS DO GO WRONG WITH OLDER CARS AND THAT'S JUST HOW IT GOES, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE HIT ON THIS WHEN GM KNOWS IT'S SO WIDESPREAD ACROSS MULTIPLE MAKES AND MODELS. AS IT STANDS, MY POWER STEERING WILL WORK FOR THE FIRST TWO OR THREE MINUTES OF DRIVING IF I TURN THE WHEEL AS I'M TURNING THE IGNITION OVER, BUT WILL STOP WORKING AND THROW A "POWER STEERING" ALERT ON THE RADIO AT THAT TIME. IF I LEAVE THE WHEEL STRAIGHT AND START THE CAR, IT DOESN'T WORK FROM THE OUTSET. THESE FACTORS ARE ALSO SIMILAR TO WHAT OWNERS OF "COVERED" VEHICLES HAVE DESCRIBED. I'M SURE I'M NOT THE

THE POWER STEERING WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT WORK WHEN YOU START THE CAR BUT IF YOU TURN IT OFF AND START IT UP AGAIN IT WILL WORK. I'LL OCCASIONALLY GET A BURNING SMELL THROUGH MY VENTS AND MY STEERING WHEEL WILL PERIODICALLY SHAKE AS WELL.. I RECENTLY BOUT NEW TIRES OVER THE SUMMER AND IT STOPPED HAPPENING SO I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT BUT AFTER WASHING MY CAR THE OTHER DAY IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN
