I WAS TOLD THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WILL WORK IN A COLLISION IF THE LIGHT IS ON.

AIRBAG LIGHT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE IN MOTION. POWER STEERING IS IN MOTION. ON HIGHWAY AND TURNING. THERE IS NO RECALLS THAT I KNOW OF FOR AIRBAGS BUT HEARD THERE WAS.

MY 2007 CHEVY LTZ FRONT DRIVER SEAT BROKEN SHORTLY AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE SEAT ALL THE WAY DOWN IN LOW POSITION FOR LAST 6-7 YEARS OR SO. CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAYS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WANTS A HUGE AMOUNT TO REPLACE THE SEAT RACK ETC. I DO NOT KNOW HOW A FRONT DRIVER SEAT BREAKS.. THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND ANY ONE ELSE IN MY CAR.. I FIRST NOTICED IT LEAVING TO GO TO WORK ONE MORNING WHEN I HEARD A POP WHILE GETTING INTO MY DRIVER SEAT AND TRYING TO MOVE IT BACK.. THE RIGHT SIDE COLLAPSED .. THE AUTO SEAT ADJUST KEEP CLICKING AND WONT ENGAGE TO RAISE THE RIGHT SIDE OF SEAT SO I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH IT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO BE EVEN... CHAPMAN TEMPE DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER 1000.. TO REPLACE IT WHEN I TRIED BRINGING IT TO THEM... THEY JUST CLAIM ITS OUT OF WARRANTY NOTHING THEY CAN DO... THIS NUTS..

GM "SPECIAL WARRANTY" COVERAGE (BUT NOT A RECALL), 15356. RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION ATTESTING TO THE IDENTIFIED PROBLEM. DOCUMENT ADVISES NOT TO TAKE TO DEALER UNLESS SYMPTOMS MANIFEST THEMSELVES AS OUTLINED IN DOCUMENT. NOW, SYMPTOMS ARE CLEARLY EVIDENT; ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING HAS FAILED. GM REFUSES TO COVER REPAIR BECAUSE THE "SPECIAL COVERAGE" TIME LIMIT HAS ELAPSED. UNSATISFACTORY. A RECOGNIZED MANUFACTURING DEFECT DESERVES TO BE REPAIRED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MANUFACTURER, NOT SHUFFLED OFF TO ALTERNATIVE DESCRIPTIVE LANGUAGE (SPECIAL COVERAGE) WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO ABROGATE THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER AN ARTIFICIAL TIME LIMIT. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, THEREFORE A LIABILITY. GM IS DELIBERATELY SHIRKING THEIR MAINTENANCE AND FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITIES AND ALLOWING FOR ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECTIVE CARS TO CONTINUE TO BE OPERATED ON ROADS IN NORTH AMERICA. AS THE OPENING LINE OF MY "RECALL" LETTER PROFESSES: YOUR SATISFACTION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US. MY REPLY: MY SATISFACTION IS CONDITIONAL ON OPERATING A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE TO USE; ACKNOWLEDGED SAFETY DEFECTS THAT GO UNREPAIRED SERIOUSLY ERODE THIS OWNER SATISFACTION AS SUCH.

THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY BECOME VERY HARD TO STEER. THE RADIO LIGHTS UP SAYING POWER STEERING. YOU MUST THROW THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TURN IT OFF AND START BACK UP QUICKLY. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CANT PULL TO THE SIDE TO STOP BEFORE TUNING OFF AND ON TOR RESET THE POWER STEERING. I HAVE CONTACTED GM WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER 8-4057942731 BUT IT WAS ACTIVATED AND CLOSED ON THE SAME DAY BEFORE CAR COULD EVEN BE LOOKED AT BY DEALER SERVICE. GM CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL BUT I FIND A RECALL ON 2007 MALIBU RECALL NUMBER 14772. CAR WAS GOING DOWN SHORT BACK ROAD HAD THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES WITHING 2 MINUTES.

MY 2007 CHEVY MALIBU WAS ON THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CHIME STARTING GOING OFF AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP, AS WELL AS THE BRAKES. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR ME, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I WAS GOING AROUND A CORNER WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I WAS AT RISK OF LOSING MY LIFE DUE TO THE POWER STEERING CUTTING OUT RANDOMLY. I THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS MORE AS THE MALIBU HAS ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH RANDOM ELECTRICAL AND POWER STEERING ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES. NOTE* THE VIDEO WAS TAKEN ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL MOVING BY ITSELF AND WAS CUTTING IN AND OUT.*

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST STOPPED WORKING. IT REBOOTED WHEN WE TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED. BUT IT WENT OUT AGAIN AND RESTARTED WHEN TURNING IT BACK ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL ENDED IN 2016. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO HAVE IT FIXED. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS HAZARD. MY WIFE WAS TERRIFIED WHEN IT STOPPED WORKING AT 45 MILES PER HOUR WITH NO WARNING.

CAR STEERING LOCKS AND I CAN'T CONTROL THE CAR. IT'S HARD TO TURN AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER. I TURN THE CAR OFF THEN TURN IT ON AND IT WILL WORK, BUT THEN IT WILL DO THE SAME THING. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED AS I DRIVE A LONG DISTANCE FROM HOME TO SCHOOL TO WORK. I CALLED AND WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY MY VIN ISN'T COVERED BY THE STEERING CONTROL SENSOR RECALL THAT IS POSTED FOR CARS 2006-2007, YET MY CAR IS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE ON. CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE ISSUE BECAUSE AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I CAME ACROSS ARTICLES WHERE THERE WERE RECALLS ON THE SPECIFIC MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT. GM PERSONNEL SAID BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DIDN'T MATCH THE FACTORIES WHERE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS OR WHAT NOT CAME FROM THAT THERE WASN'T MUCH THEY COULD DO UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS RUN ON IT TO SEE IF THAT IS THE ACTUAL PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THE POWER STEERING ISSUE I'M HAVING NOW IS THE SAME EXACT REASON THERE WAS A RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

MY 2007 CHEVY MALIBU IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY WHEN I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS THEN IT GOES UP TO FULL. WHEN I DRIVE FOR A WHILE THE GAUGE GOES DOWN TO EMPTY. ALSO THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT STAYS ON. SOMETIMES IT GOES OUT BUT COMES BACK ON. THE FUELS GAUGE IS ERRATIC DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THA TANK AT ANY GIVEN TIME. MECHANIC SAID IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX.

WE RECENTLY WERE DRIVING THE CAR WHEN WE LOST POWER STEERING CONTROL. THIS SOUNDS VERY FAMILIAR TO NHSTA # 15V06400. CHEVROLET SAID OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED BUT OUR MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ISSUE IN THE RECALL WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE DISPLAYED WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (PREMIER CHEVROLET OF GWENA PARK, CA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

AFTER HAVING A STEERING SHAFT AND A STEERING ANGLE SENSOR REPLACED UNDER A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN AUGUST 28,2015, I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE SAME TWO PARTS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY FIXED OUT OF POCKET. MY CAR IS OVER 150,000 MILES AND IT HAS BEEN PAST THE TEN YEAR PRO-VISIONARY. THE TWO PARTS THAT I HAD REPLACED IN 2015 HAVE A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY OF 12 MONTHS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I DO NOT WANT TO PAY THE 1,400 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THESE PARTS WHEN IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THIS A COMMON ISSUE AND HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST. THERE IS ZERO CHANCE THE SAME TWO PARTS NEED REPLACED JUST DO TO WEAR AND TEAR IN JUST TWO YEARS.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILURE UPON START OF THE VEHICLE OR WHILE DRIVING. YOU MUST TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT TO REACTIVATE THE POWER STEERING. STEERING WHEEL WILL ALSO MOVE BACK AND FORTH ON ITS OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY SUCH AS AT A STOP SIGN.

STEERING WHEEL TURNS BY IT SELF, ALSO SITTING STILL ,STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH BY ITS SELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT HEARD A DING SOUND AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED JOHN L SULLIVAN CHEVROLET AT (916) 782-1243 (LOCATED AT 350 AUTOMALL DR, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET GETTING READ TO PICK UP MY SIBILING FROM SCHOOLI RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION ON THE RADIO DISPLAY THAT SAID POWER STEERING OFF THEN IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN MY WHEEL AND ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED NEARBY AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE POWER STEERING WENT OFF RIGHT WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A TURN. ALSO, THE AIR BAG FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN GOING OFF FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND I RECEIVE ALERTS THROUGH THE RADIO DISPLAY.

I FIRST ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. MY VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE MESSAGE 'POWER STEERING' CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING ASSIST. I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE SO I WAS HOPEFUL ABOUT THE SITUATION. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A SUPPOSED 'WARRANTY' FOR MY VEHICLE AND I WAS OUT OF THE MILEAGE & TIME PERIOD FOR MY VEHICLE. AND ADDITIONALLY THE RECALL WAS NEVER GIVEN TO MY VEHICLE. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME THAT THERE IS A SPECIFIC RECALL FOR THIS MODEL OF CHEVY MALIBU'S AND I OWN ONE AND MY CAR JUST SO HAPPENS TO NOT HAVE THE RECALL. I'VE CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INSIST THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THIS AND IT WILL BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. MY POWER STEERING HAS CUT OUT ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND POSES A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I WOULD LIKE TO SETTLE THIS BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. THE PHOTO THAT I'VE LISTED BELOW IS AN INVOICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY DIAGNOASED MY CAR AND SAID IT WOULD BE OUT OF POCKET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE CONTACT CALLED WINTER CHEVROLET AT (925) 323-0290 (3750 CENTURY CT, PITTSBURG, CA 94565) AND WAS INFORMED THAT A DIAGNOSTIC AND A REPAIR FEE WOULD BE CHARGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ONE EVENING, MY CAR MADE AN ALARMING CHIMING NOISE TO SIGNAL ME THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I THEN SAW THE WORDS "POWER STEERING" APPEAR ON MY DISPLAY. AT THAT VERY MOMENT MY STEERING WHEEL FROZE UP TO WHERE I BASICALLY COULD NOT MOVE IT ANY MORE. I COULD NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT, WHICH FORCED ME TO KEEP STRAIGHT. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO KEEP GOING UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A STOP, TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THEN IT ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE HOME. FROM THAT POINT ON, MY STEERING WHEEL ITSELF HAS BEGAN TO TWIST AND TURN BACK AND FORTH WHILE VIBRATING, WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM ME, AND IT DOES THIS ALL WHILE I'M DRIVING. I'M FORCED TO BASICALLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A TIGHT GRIP TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. SINCE THAT DAY, MY POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES, AND MORE THAN THAT IF YOU COUNT WHEN I FIRST START IT UP IN THE MORNING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN IN WHICH THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY SERVICED MY VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 11/26/16... WHICH WAS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, SO I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN, DUE TO A POSTCARD I RECEIVED ABOUT A FEW RECALLS, I WAS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING WHAT SO EVER. I AM ABOUT 3 MONTHS SHORT OF A YEAR AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IF THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED PROPERLY, HOW IT WOULD BECOME A PROBLEM FOR ME SO QUICK! I HAVE 2 CHILDREN I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR AND I RELY HEAVILY ON MY VEHICLE. FROM READING ONLINE, THI

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE CRUISE CONTROL SUDDENLY WENT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION CYLINDER WAS OFF, I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND RESEARCHED RECALLS ON THIS CAR THROUGH THE SAFECAR.COM WEBSITE AND SAW A TRANSMISSION RELATED RECALL (RECALL NUMBER 14152). I CALLED THE ASSOCIATED GM RECALL CENTER TOLD THEM MY ISSUE AND GAVE THEM THE RECALL NUMBER. THE REPRESENTATIVE PULLED UP THE RECALL DESCRIPTION FOR RECALL NUMBER 14152 AND THE CONSEQUENCES LISTED IN THE GM DIRECTORY WERE NOT THE SAME LANGUAGE AS THE CONSEQUENCES ON SAFECAR.GOV. SHE COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE DESCRIPTION WAS NOT THE SAME IN THE GM DIRECTORY AS THE GOVERNMENT SAFECAR WEBSITE AND I FOUND THAT DISTURBING. SO THAT IS MY FIRST COMPLAINT--THE GM SYSTEM AND NATIONAL WEBSITE ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE. SECONDLY, MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY AND THE TRANSMISSION CYLINDER IN MY CAR IS OFF, UNDER MY VIN THE CAR HAD THE TRANSMISSION RECALL FIXED IN 2015 BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. 3 YEARS LATER AND THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THAT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE A TRANSMISSION RECALL BE DONE ON THE "FIX" AND THAT COST OF FIXUPS BE RESTITUTED BY GM. HAVE OTHER "FIXED" MALIBU RECALLS BEEN AN ISSUE? THANK YOU.

STEERING WHEELS SHAKES THEN POWER STEERING GOES COMPLETELY OUT WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING I LOST POWER STEERING AND WAS UNABLE TO STEER SAFELY

WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR'S RPM AND SPEED INCREASES TEMPORARILY....THEN RETURNS TO ITS SET SPEED ON ITS OWN.

ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING, MY STEERING WHEEL GOT TIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STOPPED FOR A FEW DAYS. NOW MY STEERING WHEEL IS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. THERE WERE SEVERAL RECALLS ON THESE TYPE OF CARS, BUT THERE ISN'T ONE ON MINE. MY CAR ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE. IF THERE WERE RECALLS ON OTHER CARS BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM, THEN THERE SHOULD BE ONE ON MY CAR. I ALSO SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS A REOCCURRENCE. GETTING AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FIXED ISN'T EASY!

STEERING WHEELS MOVES TO THE LEFT ALL ON ITS OWN, THEN THERE WILL BE A DING AND POWER STEERING WILL DISPLAY ACROSS THE RADIO SCREEN, POWER STEERING GOES OUT COMPLETELY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2007 MALIBU'S FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, YET MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL..

LOST POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. ALTHOUGH CHEVY RECALL THE 2006-2007 MALIBU FOR THAT ISSUE, MINE CAR IS NOT ON THAT LIST. VERY SAD.
