2010 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN MY 2010 MALIBU. IT HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I CANNOT MOVE MY VEHICLE AT ALL. I HAVE TO PLACE MY HAZARDS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF ANY TYPE OF ROADWAY AND SHUT MY VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM CONTINUES, OF I'M LUCKY IT'LL RESET AND NOT HAPPEN FOR A FEW DAYS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 30 TIMES NOW.

ON MARCH 1, 2017 AT 28981 MILES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, (NOT THE FIRST TIME). THE NEXT DAY, THE STABILITY CONTROL AND THE ABS LIGHTS BOTH ALSO CAME ON. IN BOTH OCCASIONS THE CAR WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH ON A CITY STREET. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY CHARGED ME $153 TO GET A DIAGNOSIS.THEY WANTED ANOTHER $850 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP THAT DID IT FOR $190. THESE WERE 2 SEPARATE PROBLEMS, ONE WAS THE AIRBAG LIGHT (A CONNECTION UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT), AND THE OTHER WAS A SENSOR IN THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL (THE STABILITY/ABS LIGHT).

AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES IT WON'T LET ME ACCELERATE AND VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING. IT FIRST HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO EXIT WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. RIGHT AFTER ACCELERATION WOULDN'T WORK ENGINE POWER LOW, SERVICE TRACTION POPPED UP. ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT SHAKES. I TURN OFF CAR FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND THEN IT BACK ON AND IT DRIVES BUT HAPPENS AGAIN WITHIN 5 MINUTES

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE CLUSTER PANEL STARTS SHOWING WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE STEERING, SERVICE ESC, AND THE MIL LIGHT WAS ON, THE CAR LOST POWER, LOST POWER STEERING AND HAD NO POWER, NO MATTER WHAT I DID, THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND. THIS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND ME IN DANGER, WE WERE DRIVING ON THE IDL IN TULSA OKLAHOMA AT RUSH HOUR, VERY, VERY BUSY ROAD AT THAT TIME OF DAY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT WILL END UP GETTING SOMEONE KILLED. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY UNSTABLE, ERRATIC AND VERY HARD TO DRIVE, YOU LOSE POWER (NO ACCELERATION) AND POWER STEERING. THE CAR HAS 142,000 MILES ON IT, THAT SEEMS TO BE WHEN IT HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES ALSO.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ABOUT 30MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOOSES POWER AND ECO ASSIST SHUTS OFF, WITH TRACTION CONTROL,TRACTION ASSIST, AND POWER STEERING . THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I COULDN'T PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO THESE ISSUES AND THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 10 MPH!! I SEE OTHER HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN NYS AND NOTHINGS BEEN DONE OR WHEN WE GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY JUST CLEAR THE CODES AND SAY NOTHINGS WRONG! THIS IS AN ISSUE AS IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME THEY WOULD OF HIT ME AS WHEN THESE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE CAR WENT FROM 30MPH DOWN TO 10 MPH AND THE CAR RAN ROUGH AND SLOW . PLEASE DO SOMETHING WITH THIS ISSUE AS ALOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING !

DOOR LOCKS NOT WORKING RIGHT , PEOPLE INSIDE VEHICLE UNABLE TO EXIT UNLESS THEY CLIMB OUT THE WINDOWS AS DOORS SEEM TO UNLOCK BUT WONT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE . THIS IS A ISSUE BECAUSE IN THE EVENT OF THE CRASH YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS TO ESCAPE . DEALERSHIP SAYS MY CAR IS FINE BUT I HAVE TO CLIMB IN AND OUT OF THE WINDOW EACH DAY FOR WORK .

WHILE DRIVING 50MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY, POWER STEERING FAILED. SERVICE ESC AND POWER STEERING ALERTS DISPLAYED 2/19/19. DEALER IDENTIFIED STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR AND STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR OUT OF CALIBRATION. TECHNICIAN RE-CALIBRATED SENSORS. APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE 2/20/19 THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF SERIOUS BODILY HARM.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY POWERED DOWN TO 10 MPH, SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND SPUTTERED. ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND SERVICE ESC MESSAGE ACROSS DASH. THIS LEFT ME STRANDED AT MIDNIGHT, PREGNANT WHILE IN ROUTE TO SEE DYING GRANDFATHER. IN ORDER TO GET HOME APPROX 60 MILES AWAY, HAD TO REMOVE BATTERY TERMINAL FOR A RESET. DEALER COULD NOT FIX DUE TO RESET ALAS CODE WAS CLEARED. DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE AGAIN UNTIL OUT OF WARRANTY ALMOST ONE YEAR LATER. SLOWLY GOT TO DEALER. NEEDS NEW THROTTLE BODY. INITIALLY DEALER CLAIMED SERVICING WOULD BE COVERED DUE TO TSB AND EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ISSUE; HOWEVER, AFTER DIAGNOSIS DEALER DENIED ANY SPECIAL COVERAGES EXISTED FOR THIS ISSUE. APPARANTLY A $600 FIX, DENIED SERVICE AND REPLACED OURSELVES FOR $185 PART.

DRIVING TO WORK AND OUT OF NOWHERE DASH STARTS DINGING AND FLASHES 'SERVICE ESC' THE. 'POWER STEERING' AND STEERING GETS STIFF (NO POWER STEERING). LUCKILY IT WAS JUST ME IN THE CAR AND NOT WITH MY 3 AND 5 YEAR OLD AND ALSO NOT ON HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED. MY CAR HAS 157K MILES AND JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A GM EXTENDED COVERAGE ON IT UP TO 150K MILES FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND WAS NOT AWARE. I'M OVER THE 150K MILES NOW SO I'M STUCK WITH THE REPAIR BUT THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE GM!!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I FELT A JUMP AS IF I HAD GONE OVER A BUMP. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND STARTED TO LOOSE SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE AND BRAKED TO A COMPLETE STOP. I PLACED THE SHIFT TO PARKING AND SHIFT IT TO DRIVE AS I PRESS ON GAS PADDLE THE VEHICLE JUMPED AGAIN AND WAS DRIVING AS IF ON THE NEUTRAL POSITION AND THE SPEED WOULDN'T ADVANCE. I SHIFTED ONCE AGAIN, AND IT VEHICLE JUMPED AGAIN. I GOOGLED AND IT MENTIONED THE SHIFT CABLE TAB COULD BE BROKEN. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE SHIFT CABLE AND THERE WAS NO TAB. MECHANIC REPLACED THE BUSHING AND IT FAILED ONCE AGAIN. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UN-DRIVABLE. I READ THAT GM WAS RECALLING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH 2008-2010 MALIBU. I'VE GOT IMAGES AND INVOICE BUT HAVING TROUBLE UPLOADING AT THIS TIME.

I HAVE SERVICE ESC LIGHT (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) AND POWER STEERING LIGHTS THAT JUST RECENTLY CAME ON IN MY 2010 CHEVY MALIBU. I HAVE CALLED GM AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT SUPPOSEDLY ISN'T UNDER MY VIN NUMBER [XXX], EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS LISTED IN THE RECALLS. I HAVE VISITED NUMEROUS SITES FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE 2010 MALIBU'S AND HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEM REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT AGAIN SUPPOSEDLY WASN'T LISTED UNDER THEIR VIN. I WILL BE GETTING A LAWYER AND IF MY CAR CAUSES ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT I HAVE GIVEN ALL INFORMATION TO GO FORWARD WITH A LAWSUIT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM GM!!!!!!!! NOW I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT WILL COST ME!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHY I AM EVEN BOTHERING TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE NOTHING WILL BE DONE!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER REPLACING A LEAKING VALVE COVER GASKET, I TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 17 MILES, WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE ENGINE CEASED ON ME, IT DIED OUT AND HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO MY PLACE

HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT.

POWER STEERING WARNING COMES ON. ESC. TRACTION STEERING IS STIFF TO TURN IS HARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON, AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. A FAILURE CODE REGARDING THE POWER STEERING ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. TOM KELLEY CHEVROLET BUICK (1313 S 13TH ST, DECATUR, IN 46733, (260) 724-8525) STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE POWER STEERING, BUT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 150,000 MILE LIMIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ALSO MENTIONED THE MILEAGE LIMITATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,000. *TT *TR

THE HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM) OF MY VEHICLE KEEP GOING OUT, I DONE CHANGES IT 3 TIMES WITHIN A MONTH. EVERYONE THAT HAS THE SAME CAR AS ME HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS AS WELL. DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE WIRING BUT IT'S BECOMING A BIG PROBLEM

WE PURCHASED THIS MALIBU LT 2010 IN SEPTEMBER 2018, IT HAD UNDER 100,000 MILES ON IT. A FEW DAYS AGO I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY & THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT & THE ESC & POWERSTEERING WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I SHUT THE CAR OFF & TURNED IT BACK ON IT WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL 3 DAYS LATER. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY & IT DID IT AGAIN POWERSTEERING WENT OUT & THE ESC & POWERSTEERING WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON & ITS BEEN DOING IT EVER SINCE. IT HAD DONE IT IN MID TURNS, DRIVIBG STRAIGHT, ANY TIME IT FEELS LIKE IT.I CAN FEEL IN THE STEERING WHEN ITS ABOUT TO DO IT. I FEEL LIKE A PULL A CATCH I WOULD SAY. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY EHEN YOU HAVE TEENAGE DRIVERS IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD. I'VE FOUBD MULTIPLE ONLINE REPORTS ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM OVET THE PAST FEE DAYS AS I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING.

STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN AND HAS A HESITATION WHEN TURNING

BOUGHT IN FEBRUARY 2018 93 K MILES JAN OF 2019 WITH 124 K ON IT REPLACED FRONT TIRES AND BRAKES AND ROTORS IMMEDIATELY GOT IN TO TEST DRIVE STEERING HAD A VIOLENT TWITCH. TOOK IT TO HAVE STEERING SENSOR RECALIBRATED .. GOT IN CAR ZERO ELECTRIC STEERING.. UNHOOKED BATTERY.. HOOKED BACK UP STEERING EXTREMELY LOSE WITH EVEN WORSE TWITCH TWITCH STARTED IN PARK WHILE RUNNING AND HAS PROGRESSED TO A TWITCH ALL THE TIME WHILE RUNNING.. BY TWITCH I MEAN A VIOLENT LEFT TO RIGHT VIBRATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL

VEHICLE CAN SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE WITHOUT BRAKE BEING APPLIED

WHILE DRIVING AT 60MPG CAR RPG DROPPED TO NOTHING, COULDN'T USE THE ACCELERATOR. ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. GOT IT GOING AGAIN THEN NOT EVEN 5 MINS LATER CAR STARTED SHAKING BADLY, COULDN'T USE THE ACCELERATOR, PULLED OVER. DASH FLASHES WITH ESC. SERVICE, TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE REDUCED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COLDER MONTHS, FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS SEPTEMBER. WENT OUT TODAY TO WARM UP MY CAR AS IT WAS ICED AND SNOWED OVER, WHILE CLEANING IT OFF IT WAS FINE. CAME BACK INSIDE TO FINISH GETTING READY TO GO AND WHEN I CAME OUT TO MY CAR, IT WAS SHAKING, RPM WAS BOUNCING BETWEEN 1-3, ALL THE NOTICES WERE ON THE DASH AGAIN. TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESOLVE, COULDN'T GET IT TO GO ABOVE 15 MPG. I'VE TAKEN IT TO NUMEROUS GARAGES TO GET LOOKED AT, ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. ONE "FIXED" THE ENGINE, ANOTHER DID AN OIL CHANGE AND FILTER CHANGE, ONE CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR, ETC. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT SOMEWHERE THEY "FIX" IT FOR IT TO RUN FOR A WEEK OR SO AT A TIME TIL THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. LUCKILY IT HAS NOT CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS BUT I WILL NOT DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. BEEN TOLD ITS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS WELL BUT I'M TIRED OF SPENDING MONEY FOR IT NOT TO FIX THE UNDERLYING ISSUE WHICH NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT. I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF CHEVY MALIBU OWNERS. I AM UNABLE TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE SO I AM STUCK WITH WHAT I CURRENTLY HA

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AND DISENGAGE WHEN BRAKING CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR NOT ONLY HE DRIVER BUT OTHERS FOLLOWING BEHIND. BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHILE DRIVING FOLLOWING CARS CRASH DETECTION SYSTEMS ENGAGE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE AWHILE. IT WAS "FIXED" BY A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ONCE ALREADY BUT IT IS BACK. HUGE CONCERN FOR MY 17 YEAR OLD DRIVING THE CAR.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN DECEMBER 2018, IT HAD 123,500 MILES ON IT. THIS MORNING AS MY SON WAS PROCEEDING THROUGH A LEFT TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE STEERING SUDDENLY LOCKED UP, WARNING LIGHT "SERVICE ECS" CAME ON, AND HE HAD NO POWER STEERING! WE TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING AGAIN, SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO A SAFE SPOT TO PARK. THIS WAS A HORRIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE ONLINE REPORTS ABOUT TODAY IN MY SEARCH FOR SOME ANSWERS.

I PUT BRAND NEW RIMS AND TIRES ON THE 2010 MALIBU AND RECEIVED AN ALIGNMENT. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND MY ESC POWER STEERING LIGHTS CAME ON! FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT INJURED.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO MANEUVER. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DRIVABLE, BUT AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THROUGH A INTERSECTION THE CAR SEEMED TO LOOSE POWER. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO ONLY BE MOVED WHEN PUT INTO 2ND GEAR WITH THE MANUAL MODE. REVERSE WAS GONE. THIS HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH NO ISSUES TO THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE HAND.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING

HEADLIGHT CONTINUES TO GO OUT, REPLACE WITH NEW ONE ONLY LASTS A FEW DAYS. ALSO IF YOU SHUT OFF CAR TO GO GAS CAR DOESNT RESTART. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME GET GAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, 'POWER STEERING AND SERVICE ESC' DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION.

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

I'VE HAD THIS CAR ALMOST 3 YEARS I'VE BOUGHT OVER 20 HEADLIGHT BULBS FOR THIS CAR NOW AT THIS PRESENT TIME I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS I JUST CHANGED THEM ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO THIS IS REALLY TERRIBLE AND VERY EXPENSIVE

I BOUGHT MY MALIBU IN 2014. FROM RON MARHOFER CHEVROLET. NOT KNOWING THERE WERE RECALLS ON MY CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IN 2016, WITH 75K MILES I WAS HAVING TROUBLES, BRAKE LIGHTS WERE COMING ON WHEN I ACCELERATED THE GAS. GOT THE RECALL FIXED. NOW, AT 102K MILES AND 2 YEARS LATER, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE COMING BACK ON. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS UP, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A $99 DIAGNOSTIC ON TOP OF LABOR. I WROTE CHEVROLET LAST WEEK AND THEY DENIED THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE HAS BEEN COMPLAINING.. IT'S FRUSTRATING AND SUCH A SCANDAL. I HAVE AN APPT WITH MY DEALERSHIP NEXT WEEK TO TAKE A LOOK. I FEEL THIS IS GOING TO BE A COSTLY MATTER, FOR SOMETHING GM IS TRYING GO COVER UP. SHAME ON YOU GM!

DRIVING AND MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT CAUSING THE CAR HARD TO CONTROL . 2.4 FUR CYLINDER CHEVY MALIBU 2010 THE DASHBOARD LIT UP POWER STEERING LOSS

WHEN DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE FOLLOWED BY TRACTION CONTROL,REDUCED ENGINE POWER, AND LOSS OF POWER. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND I WAS IN THE FAST LANE WHEN IT HAPPENED GOING 70 MPH. I LOST POWER AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER. CAR STARTED SHAKING BADLY. I CUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. WENT AWAY FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS IT'S BEEN HAPPENING ONLY DURING COLD MONTHS BETWEEN DECEMBER AND FEBRUARY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE

HEAD LIGHT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT EVERY TWO YEARS

ON 12. 06. 2018 THE POWER STEERING CODE C0454. LAST YEAR NOV. 2018, IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN, THEN THE ESC, WHICH IS STILL UNRESOLVED , THEN I HAD TO PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION.

MY MECHANIC REPLACED IT IN JULY OF THIS YEAR, AND AGAIN IN OCTOBER, AND IT IS OUT YET AGAIN, NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS LATER. MY MECHANIC CAN'T FIND ANY REASON FOR IT. IN ADDITION, MY SERVICE AIR-BAG LIGHT IS ON, ALTHOUGH IT'S NEVER GONE OFF, AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT ABOUT 63,000 MILES. REGARDING THE LIGHT - SO FAR, I'VE BEEN LUCKY THAT IT HASN'T CONTRIBUTED TO ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY SINCE DEER ARE VERY ACTIVE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR AND ARE VERY COMMON IN OUR AREA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT.

CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ALL THE PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT , AND NOW JUST BY DOING RESEARCH I SEEN THAT THEY HAD A LOT OF THESE CARS RECALLED

JUST BOUGHT A USED 2010 MALIBU WITH 2.4L ENGINE FOR MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, WHEN TRYING TO TEACH HER PARALLEL PARKING, THE STEERING BEGAN LOCKING UP AND STEERING SYSTEM WARNING IS DISPLAYED. WHEN IT LOCKS UP, THE WHEEL CANNOT BE MOVED AT ALL, REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE SPEED. STEERING CONTROL ONLY RETURNS AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE DOWN, WAITING A FEW SECONDS, THEN STARTING IT BACK UP. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK. IT HASN'T HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY YET, BUT AFTER CHECKING INTO THIS ONLINE, I FIND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM INSTALLED ON THIS AND OTHER GM VEHICLES. I ALSO FOUND THAT IT REPORTEDLY HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY, AND WHEN IT DOES, THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED IN WHATEVER POSITION IT WAS IN WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, LEAVING THE DRIVER ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I FIND IT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED IN REGARDS TO THIS. IT HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THE MALIBU WITH 2.4L ENGINE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IF THERE IS NOT CURRENTLY A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT, THERE NEEDS TO BE ASAP. I'M THINKING RIGHT NOW THAT I SHOULDN'T LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE THE CAR. IT'S SCARY.
