2009 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. MY ESC LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AS A WARNING ABOUT MY POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE 1/19/18. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR AT THIS POINT, OF COURSE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR IS ALSO VERY WELL-MAINTAINED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO APPROACH A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BUMPER BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES TO THE NECK AND BACK. THE CONTACT SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. WHEN I PULLED OUT MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAD NO WAY IN TURNING THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN PARK THEN TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN TURNING BACK ON VEHICLE WAS FINE. DROVE A MILE TO LOCAL BANK AND IT DID IT AGAIN IN THE DRIVE THRU. AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT TO WORK IT WENT OUT AS I WAS PULLING INTO PARKING LOT. THE FIRST TIME POWER STEERING WENT OUT TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO STOP TO KEEP FROM HITTING MY VEHICLE. I WAS COMPLETELY EXPOSED. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND IN 9 YEARS THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY. THE CAR SAID "POWER STEERING" & "ESC" WHEN IT LOCKED DOWN. THERE IS A RECALL # 14772 FOR 2004-2007 MALIBU'S THAT STATE THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING.

SMELL OF GAS IN THE CAR WHEN TURNED ON. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, THE SMELL GOES AWAY. MY MECHANIC LOOKED ALLOVER THE CAR AND CANT FIND THE ISSUE. NO WARNING SIGNS ON THE DASHBOARD.

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO TURN AND THE ESC OFF DISPLAYED ALSO WITH POWER STEERING ALERT

MY 2009 MALIBU HAS AN INTERMITTENT STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM. I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY (UNDER 10MPH) AND LOST POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL, ALMOST HIT OUR SNOWMOBILE TRAILER THE FIRST TIME. THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED BOTH. THERE IS A RECALL (RECALL NUMBER 14V153000) FOR OTHER 2009 MALIBU'S FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING BUT NOT FOR THE 4 CYLINDER MODEL LIKE MINE. THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM WITH GM AND I DONE UNDERSTAND WHY SOME CARS WITH THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEMS AND PARTS WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL.

HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP, WORKS INTERMITTENTLY,STOPPED OR IN MOTION,(I HAVE READ ONLINE ITS A CONNECTION AT THE LED HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP).LEFT AND RIGHT FENDER STOP LAMPS WORK CORRECTLY. NOT PART OF RECALL 13036

01/04/2018 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND SERVICE ESC LIGHT CAME ON. CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT ALL THE WAY INTO WORK AND HAD NO POWER STEERING.

ISSUE WITH STEERING VEHICLE WHEN IN MOTION OR PARKING.

EVERYTIME I START MY CAR MY STEERING WHEEL IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN, & COMES ALONG THE DASHBOARD SCREEN "SERVICE ESC"? THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE CAR AND IT'S ONLY GETTING WORSE. RECENTLY EVEN STARTED TO OUT OF THE BLUE JUST LOSE ALL STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENT WHILE DRIVING, WENT AND HAD IT ESTIMATED FOR THE COST OF REPAIR & THE DEALERSHIP WANTED $1,398? SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS STARTING MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT AN HOUR FROM HOME AND MY DASH LIGHTS COME ON AFTER STARTING. IT WENT THROUGH ABS, POWER STEERING AND OTHERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST BUT HAD NEVER DONE POWER STEERING. AS A RESULT, THE POWER STEERING TURNED OFF. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS FINE UP UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. THIS TIME IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO MANHANDLE THROUGH THE TURN UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. IT ALL MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'M HESITANT NOW ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND GM HAS MADE A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE IN 2014 BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ONLY RECALLED SO MANY. I FEEL AS IF THIS BECOMES AN ISSUE WITH VEHICLES THAT WERE NOT PART OF THE RECALL THAT THEY SHOULD HONOR THERE PRODUCT AND PAY FOR THE CORRECTION, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD ALMOST ONLY BE CORRECTED AT A CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING RANDOMLY AND THEN JUST STOPS WITH MESSAGES: POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC, ESC OFF. POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND IN REGULAR CITY DRIVING WHICH IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. STEERING WHEEL ALSO SHAKES BACK AND FORTH BY ITSELF. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, WHILE AT A RED LIGHT. THIS COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER AWAY QUICK ENOUGH BECAUSE OF THE STRENGTH NEEDED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL

MY 2009 MALIBU 4 CYLINDER POWER STEERING(ESC) LOCKED WHILE DRIVING IN MY COMMUNITY.

ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON. DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. SHOWING CODE P1174 & NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THIS IS. POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET.ESC LIGHT WILL TURN ON. DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL GO ON AND OFF. DOORS WILL LOCK THEM SELVES LOCKING ME INSIDE.THIS IS HAPPENING SINCE AUGUST 2017-PRESENT (12-29-17).MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND ALL THEY DO IS RESET SENSOR AND TELL ME TO WAIT UNTIL IT BREAKS. I'D SAY IT IS ALREADY BROKEN.

LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY-TURNS OFF AND ON AT CERTAIN TIMES. OCCURS WHILE DRIVING OR IS ALREADY ON IMMEDIATE TO STARTING CAR. VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEEL. ALL OTHER VIN'S WERE FIXED OR REPLACED BY GM FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

SERVICE ESC WILL COME ON AND POWER STEERING WILL LOCK UP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH NHTSA AND WOULD NEED ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS IN ORDER TO ISSUE A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

THE SERVIE ESC POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION IS ON MY DASH AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. I CANNOT DRIVE WITHOUT THE POWER STEERING AND THERE WAS A RECALL #14116 BUT IT DOESN'T COVER THE 2.4 4 CYLINDER MODELS AND MY CAR ALSO HAS 164,000 MILES SO GM STATED THAT IT IS NOT COVERED.

RECIEVED A RECALL FROM GM ABOUT WIRING HARNESS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE, THEY DID, OR SO I THOUGHT. CAR SHAKES AND JERKS AS THE SERVICE ECS, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATES AS I AM DRIVING. TOOK IT IN FOR A FOX WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS A BAD SENSOR, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE SNOW 2 DAYS LATER CAME TO A STOP LIGHT CAR SHOOK AS IF IT WAS GOING TO LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF, SERVICE ESC, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THIS CAR IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE! WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS NOW. THIS WILL BE THE 4TH TIME I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE!

ON FRIDAY, 19 MAY 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:15 PM I WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND ON THUNDERBIRD ROAD AND 84TH AVENUE IN PEORIA, ARIZONA WHILE OPERATING MY WHITE IN COLOR 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU AT FORTY MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEARD A LOUD BANG, SAW A FLASH OF LIGHT AND SMELLED A FIRE. INSTANTLY, SHRAPNEL FLEW THROUGHOUT THE CAR AND MY SEATBELT TIGHTENED. THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT WAS HAVE I BEEN SHOT OR IS MY CAR ON FIRE? I IMMEDIATELY LOST MY HEARING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND HAD PAIN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CHEST. MY PASSENGER CURTAIN SIDE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT NOTICE. THE AIRBAG FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. (PHOTOGRAPHS ATTACHED) I WAS IN SHOCK, I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS HURT OR WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I WAS RIGHT NEAR MY HOME AND THE CAR COULD STILL DRIVE, SO I WENT THE COUPLE OF BLOCKS HOME. I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY, TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND CAREFULLY TOOK OFF MY SEATBELT. I WENT INSIDE TO THE MIRROR TO EXAMINE MY BODY, TO SEE HOW HURT I WAS. I WASN'T BLEEDING, BUT IT FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN BURNED, MY CHEST WAS STINGING AND I HAD BURNS AND WELTS ON MY CHEST THAT WERE APPROXIMATELY THREE INCHES IN LENGTH AND TWO INCHES WIDE. I WAS VERY CONCERNED SO I THEN TOOK A SHOWER TO WASH THE CHEMICALS AND WHATEVER HAD FLOWN THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE OFF OF MY BODY. (PHOTOGRAPHS ATTACHED) **TIME SENSITIVE - I NEED TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHAT TO DO BY DECEMBER 14TH-

TURNED RIGHT OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED. THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, MAKING THE STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD TO TURN. THE POWER STEERING WARNING ILLUMINATED ON THE INFORMATION PANEL. DROVE HOME SEVERAL MILES, TURNED OFF THE CAR, RESTARTED IT TO DIAGNOSE IT, AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED CORRECTLY. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. OTHER '09 MALIBUS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT MY VIN.

IVE BEEN SEEING MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COME ON SOMETIMES WHEN I CRANK MY CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDNT TURN. I WOULD TURN OFF MY CAR AND THEN RESTART MY CAR AND IT WOULD GO AWAY. ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 3RD 2017 I WAS HEADED HOME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I COULD BARELY FORCE MY CAR TO TURN AN INCH TO MISS THE LIGHT POLE I WAS ABOUT TO HIT.

SHE WAS DRIVING UP SIGNAL MOUNTAIN FROM DUNLAP TENNESSEE ON HWY127 ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS OF THE WAY UP THE MOUNTAIN HER POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING.

THEY TRY TO FIX EVERYTING BUT THEY STILL COME ON

REAR DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPEN WHEN CAR IS PUT IN PARK ALSO WILL NOT OPEN WITH REMOTE.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 IN NORTH DAKOTA. STRAIGHT ROAD, NO VEHICLES NEAR ME, NO BUMPS AND MY PASSENGER CURTAIN AIRBAG EXPLODED. I WAS GOING ABOUT 80 MPH.

CAR WILL NOT START AND IT GIVES MESSAGE OF SERVICE TRACTION, SERVICE ESC. I SEE THAT OTHER 2009 MALIIBU HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASONS. WHY NOT MINE? I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND I THINK IT MAY BE THE WIRING. THE RECALL #14V252000 COVERS THIS.

THE ESC WORKS ON / OFF WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS, AND HIGHWAY. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE OR SLOWING DOWN, THERE IS A JERKING.
