AT 6:00 A.M JANUARY 11 2018 I ARRIVED AT WORK. I WAS WAITING ON A PARKING SPACE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. WHEN ONE BECAME AVAILABLE I STARTED MY CAR AND IT IMMEDIATELY SAID POWER STEERING ACROSS MY RADIO SCREEN. AS I TRIED TO MOVED INTO THE PARKING SPACE MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. ALSO THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL.

A NOTIFICATION SOUND CAME ON UPON STARTING THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN AFTER THAT. IT WAS ASSESSED TO BE THE TORQUE SENSOR THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO TURN IF IT'S GOING SLOW AND CAN BE SHUT OFF AND TURNED ON AGAIN TO HELP BUT IT EVENTUALLY TURNS BACK ON AT ANY SPEED AFTER.

THE CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING FAILURES. IN CURVES AND TURNS. NOW IT IS OFF MORE THAN ON. IT IS IN YHE SAME YEAR AS THE OTHER RECALLS BUT NOT ON THE LIST.THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT BEGAN HAVING THE PROBLEMS

RECENTLY EXPERIENCED LOSS OF STEERING POWER IN MY VEHICLE MORE THAN ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH MY TEENAGE SON BEHIND THE WHEEL. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED TO CLEAR OUT THE WARNING ON THE RADIO DISPLAY. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALSO SHAKING/VIBRATING WHILE THE CAR IS SITTING IDLE. I DID AN ONLINE CHAT WITH CHEVY. OF COURSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I HAVE ~146,400 MILES ON MY CAR. JUST FOUND OUT THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF SPECIAL ASSIST IN PLACE. OF COURSE THAT OPTION EXPIRED FOR ME ON 9-1-2017. FROM WHAT I'M HEARING, THIS WILL BE A COSTLY REPAIR. THE REPAIR WILL PROBABLY COST MORE THAN WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. A CASE NUMBER WAS ASSIGNED TO ME. I HAVE AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS FROM THE DEALER IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF THERE'S ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE FOR THIS REPAIR. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS IN PLACE, NOT SURE WHY GM IS NOT ALLOWING MALIBU OWNERS TO TAKE THEIR CARS TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR REPAIR AT NO COST TO THEM. AGE OF THE CAR SHOULD'T MATTER WITH AN OBVIOUS ONGOING PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE SUDDENLY DISPLAYED.

THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (HANK GRAFF CHEVROLET IN DAVIDSON, MI) WERE NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

THE AIR BAG IS GOING OFF AND I LOOKED IT UP AND THEY WANT LOTS OF MONEY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAPPENS IN SO MANY MALIBU'S OF THIS YEAR AND EVEN MORE YEARS. I'M JUST WORRIED IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN I'M DRIVING MYSELF AND GIRLFRIEND OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. WHAT IF THE SENSOR IS BAD AND IT DOESN'T DEPLOY IF NEEDED

THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. LOOKED IT UP & SAW THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THE 'WARRANTY ' ON IT EXPIRED IN MARCH OF 2017. I ALSO SAW THAT THIS CAR HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE TORQUE SENSOR GOING OUT. MY MECHANIC IS CHARGING US 1000$ FOR THIS FIX, YOU WLD THINK GM COULD HELP US OUT! VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING & LOSING POWER STEERING

OUR 2007 CHEVROLET MAILBU, PURCHASED IN JULY 2017, USED, HAS BEGUN TO HAVE A SEVERE STEERING ISSUE. STEERING COMES CLOSE TO "LOCKING" UP, VERY HARD TO STEER, MAINLY AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT UNPREDICTABLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES ON DURING THE PROBLEM. VEH. HAS JUST OVER 70,000 MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TO CHEVROLET DEALER. SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED THAT OUR CAR HAD BEEN COVERED BY GM SPECIAL COVERAGE # 15356, FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE (ELECTRIC POWER STEERING/TORQUE SENSOR) BUT CAR WAS JUST BEYOND 10 YRS IN SERVICE. HE ALSO NOTED THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED BY GM (# 14772), AGAIN FOR THE EXACT ISSUE, BUT OUR CAR'S BUILD DATE FELL "IN-BETWEEN" COVERED BUILD DATES.

AND NOW THERE'S A TERRIBLE GRINDING IN THE STEERING THAT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME AND LOCKS UP WHILE IN PARK. LOST POWER STEERING... TURNED ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AND REGAINED POWER STEERING. THERE WAS AN ISSUE WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2016 THERE WAS A KNOCKING WHEN TURNING. ALSO, THERE IS A LOT OF NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVER FRONT TIRE MAKE IT HARD TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF CONCERN OF TIRE COMING OFF.

I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

FOR THE PAST 3-4 WEEKS I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GIVING OUT. SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING IT VERY HARD TO KEEP THE STEERING STRAIGHT, THE WHEEL TRY'S TO SEND ME INTO THE OTHER LANE. I'VE BEEN DOING RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

2007 CHEVY MALIBU ELECTRICAL HELL MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY FINE ASIDE FROM THE POWER STEERING RECALL THAT WAS FIXED ON IT. THEN ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER MY CAR CRANKS BUT DOESN'T START! I WAS DRIVING IT 20 MINS PRIOR AND THEN THIS HAPPENS. THE RADIO,THE LIGHTS, THE HORN AND THE DINGING WITH THE DOOR OPEN, ALL STILL WORKED. UNSUCCESSFULLY TRYING TO START IT I LEFT IT ALONE TO GET TOWED. 5 DAYS LATER I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK SAYING IT STARTED JUST FINE THEY CAN'T DETECT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT, BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T READ THE CODE IT GAVE OUT, AND TO KEEP NOTES OF WEIRD THINGS TO BRING IT BACK IN. IN DOING SO MY CAR WAS FINE FOR A MONTH AND A HALF, THEY'RE WERE NO ISSUES.

IN APRIL OF 2015 WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE SURROUNDED BY OTHER VEHICLES THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SENSOR FAILED. THE POWER STEERING WARNING FLASHED ON THE IN DASH INFORMATION CENTER AND SEARING THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE JUST AVOID SEVERAL COLLISIONS WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL AND I COVERED THE COST OF THIS.

LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT TO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE ELSE AND HUNG UP ON ME. THEIR SUGGESTION WAS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACED IT TO SEE IF THE WOULD GIVE ME A DISCOUNT FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART AND CLAIMED IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. WITH AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING THERE IS MINIMAL WEAR AS TO IT IS ALL ELECTRIC COMPONENTS AND THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE MALFUNCTION AFTER BEING REPLACED LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.

TAKATA RECALL. . WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. ONCE THE CAR IS TURN OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE POWER STEERING WILL TURN BACK ON AND STAY ON FOR A SHORT TIME THEN WILL TURN BACK OFF.
