STEERING
RE: CHEVY MALIBU 2007 POWER STEERING MOTOR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! WHEN PASSING ON HIGHWAY, THE STEERING LOCKED AND MADE A RATTLING SOUND IN FRONT DRIVER SIDE, I HAD TO FORCE STEERING AROUND THE VEHICLE I WAS PASSING OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE STEERING WAS NOT OPERATING SAFELY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT. I TOOK TO MY MALIBU TO AN AUTO REPAIR, THEY LOOKED FOR RECALLS AND CHECKED FOR WARRANTY OF THE POWER STEERING MOTOR, BUT NONE WAS FOUND FOR THIS MODEL/MAKE/YEAR. THE POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE DAY AFTER I ALMOST HAD THE ACCIDENT. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I LOOKED ON-LINE AT HOME AND SAW THAT THE COBALT AND OTHER MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR A DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING MOTOR IN CANADA-THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO RECALL THIS IN THE STATES. THERE MAY ALREADY HAVE BEEN FATAL ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THE DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING MOTOR. IF MY DAUGHTER OR SON HAD BEEN DRIVING THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY ACCIDENT, SINCE THE STEERING WAS OUT OF CONTROL. GET THIS RECALL DONE FOR THE POWER STEERING MOTOR ON THE CHEVY MALIBU 2007. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING MOTOR IN THE CHEVY MALIBU 2007 AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! I CONTACTED GM, AND GM SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS MODEL/MAKE/YEAR. I REPORTED THAT MY POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACE FOR $867.51 TO GM AND REQUESTED A REIMBURSEMENT FROM GM ON THE EXPENSE THAT WERE INCURRED, BUT WAS DENIED BY A TIER ONE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON AND ALSO HIS SUPERVISOR IN THE TIER ONE GM DEPARTMENT.- I WONDER HOW MANY TIERS YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO GET ACTION DONE. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR RECALLS THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT. I HOPE IT DOESN'T. I TOLD GM, THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS BY GOING TO THE TOP AT GM TO GET THE RECALL DONE, BEFORE MORE ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS ARE CAUSED BY THIS DEFECT. GET THIS RECALL DONE! *TR

STEERING
THERE ARE TWO ISSUES WHICH ARE OCCURRING WITH THE STEERING IN THIS VEHICLE. FIRST, WHEN THE CAR IS OR IS NOT MOVING (ANY SPEED) THE STEERING WHEEL "TWITCHES" AND MOVES ON IT'S OWN. SECOND, WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING ASSIST STOP'S WORKING 100% AND THERE IS TOTAL LOST IN THE POWER STEERING. THIS IS THE MOST CONCERNING BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHILE TURNING CORNERS AND WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. GM RECALLED A LOT OF OTHER MODELS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT NOT THE CHEVY MALIBU. TO TOP IT OFF, THE REPAIRS ARE GOING TO BE ASTRONOMICAL. *TR

STEERING
MY SON WAS DRIVING THE 2007 CHEVY MALIBU I BOUGHT FOR HIM FOR WORK/SCHOOL WHEN THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING SYSTEM WENT OUT. HE WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY THREE LANE ROAD, AND AS HE BEGAN TO CHANGE LANES, THE STEERING BECAME VERY STIFF. HE HEARD A CHIME AND THEN SAW THE DASH FLASH "POWER STEERING". SINCE HE WASN'T EXPECTING THIS, HE COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING RIGHT AWAY, AND THE MALIBU CONTINUED TO DRIFT TOWARD THE OUTER LANE IN WHICH ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS IN. HE BARELY AVOIDED HITTING THE SIDE OF THIS OTHER VEHICLE BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE MALIBU THE OTHER WAY BY USING A LOT OF FORCE. SINCE THEN, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED, AND IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER, SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A GENERAL PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CHEVY MALIBU. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS 2007 MALIBU WILL JUST DIE ON YOU AT A STOP LIGHT AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE BACKING UP. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS NOT BEEN WORKING FOR A LONG TIME A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THE CAR CAN BE FULL OF GAS AND IT WILL SHOW IT IS ON EMPTY. WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE CAR THE AIR BAG SIGNS WOULD COME ON AND WE TOOK IT BACK TO GM DEALER AND THEY COULD NEVER FIND ANY PROBLEM. ALSO THE SEAT BELT LIGHT COMES ON AND YOUR HAVE YOUR SEAT BELT ON. THIS CAR HAS ALSO HAS JUST BEEN AT THE DEALERS FOR REPAIR FOR THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING PROBLEMS, VERY SCARY. IT CONCERNS ME ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR DYING ON YOU IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITH THIS CAR ARE STRANGE AND THINGS LIKE THE FUEL GAUGE, POWER STEERING YOU WOULD THINK YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH. I THINK THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF IT HAD ANY THING TO DO WITH THE FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING. THEY SURE DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM A USED CAR LOT ON JULY OF 2011. AS OF FEBRUARY OF 2012 THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING (ALWAYS SAYS GAS TANK IS ON EMPTY). WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK IT WILL READ 'FULL' FOR A FEW HOURS, THEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY DROP ALL THE WAY TO 'EMPTY' AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SUGGESTED THAT I REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MY PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE RECALL DATED FEBRUARY 28, 2011. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AFTER RELEASING THE BREAK THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. I LOOKED DOWN TO MAKE SURE THE SHIFTER WAS IN PARK, AND IT WAS. I THEN LOOKED UNDER THE ODOMETER/SPEEDOMETER TO CHECK IF IT WAS ALSO SHOWING IN PARK, BUT IT WASN'T. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN DRIVE. NEXT I PUT THE GEAR SHIFTER BACK IN DRIVE AND RETURNED AGAIN TO PARK WITH THE SAME RESULT. I THEN TRIED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND BACK TO PARK BUT THE VEHICLE STAYED IN DRIVE. LAST I TRIED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO L AND BACK TO PARK WITH YET AGAIN THE SAME RESULT. THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN L. FINALLY I DECIDED TO PUT THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND LET IT SET OVERNIGHT THINKING THERE MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT WILL "WORK ITSELF OUT". THE NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN L. I CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALER TO SEE ABOUT A RECALL AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AVAILABLE FOR THE 2007 MODEL. THE GM DEALER STATED THERE WOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE 08-10 MODELS BUT NOT FOR THE 07. ONLINE I FOUND THE FOLLOWING WEBSITES THAT STATE OTHERWISE: HTTP://WWW.CBSNEWS.COM/8301-505145_162-57517641/GM-RECALLS-474K-MIDSIZE-CARS-OVER-BAD-TRANSMISSION/ HTTP://WWW.INQUISITR.COM/339365/GM-ISSUES-RECALL-OVER-TRANSMISSION-ISSUES-MORE-THAN-400000-SEDANS-AFFECTED/ HTTP://WWW.FOXNEWS.COM/LEISURE/2012/09/21/GM-RECALLING-474000-CARS-TO-REPAIR-ROLLAWAY-RISK/ *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN 2010, BUT HAS PROGRESSIVELY BECOME WORSE AND MOST CONSTANT. THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL STEERING WILL SHAKE AND JERK UNCONTROLLABLY AT TIMES. THE CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS SHAKE AND JERK, BUT THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE PER DAY. SOME DAYS IT WILL SHAKE AND JERK NON STOP FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, OTHERS IT WILL BE SHORT AND QUICK. THE CAR GENERALLY WILL SHAKE AND JERK FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN WILL DISPLAY ON THE DISPLAY "POWER STEERING" AND CHIME. THE SHAKING OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHEN IN PARK. DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY, THE JERKING CAN JOLT THE CAR INTO THAT DIRECTION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE JERKS ARE NOT CONTROLLABLE BY TWO HANDS. OFTEN WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR LOOKS AS IF IT IS JERKING BACK AND FORTH IN ITS LANE DUE TO THE ROUGH JERKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS THE MOST NERVE RACKING WHILE DRIVING IN WEATHER SUCH AS SNOW OR RAIN, WHERE THE ROAD IS SLICK OR SLIPPERY. HAVING THE CAR JERK AROUND ON ICE IS JUST AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THE ONLY OPTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN BUT THEY COULD NOT SAY IF THIS WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER REVIEWING MANY COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS ONLINE, I RESEARCHED FOR RECALLS. I FOUND THAT MANY MODELS SIMILAR TO OURS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT NOT OUR SPECIFIC YEAR. *TR

STEERING
I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND WHEN I STARTED IT THE MESSAGE POWER STEERING SHOWED UP ON THE DIC. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT TO NO AVAIL. LATER IN THE DAY WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING WAS BACK BUT THE STEERING WOULD PULSE BACK AND FORTH AND EVENTUALLY THE MESSAGE APPEARED AGAIN AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT RANDOMLY AND WHEN NOT EXPECTING IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEED IT COULD ULTIMATELY LEAD TO DEATH. I KNOW THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BUT I DON'T SEE HOW AND IGNITION COIL HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE POWER STEERING. *TR

STEERING, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A NISSAN DEALER AS A USED CAR IN JUNE 2012, IT IS THE LT VE MODEL. THE PROBLEM IS: WHILE TURNING LEFT WITH ACCELERATION THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS RIGHT, AT TIMES IT CAN BE JERKED OUT OF THE HANDS (DEPENDS ON ACCELERATION SPEED), ALSO A CLUNKING NOISE FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL AT TIMES (WITH OR WITHOUT ENGINE RUNNING). SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH OR BETTER, TAKING A LEFT HANDED CURVE, STEERING WILL BECOME STIFF AND HARD TO TURN. THIS HAS NOT CAUSED ANY ACCIDENTS YET BUT IT COULD IN THE FUTURE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING UP THE CAR TO FULL WITH GAS. THE GAS GAUGE READS LOW FUEL AND ON E AND THEN THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL BOUNCE BACK UP TO SHOW HOW MUCH GAS IS REMAINING ONLY TO FALL BACK TO LOW FUEL AND E AGAIN. HAD THIS COMPUTER CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENSOR LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK. THE ESTIMATED COST TO FIX THIS WOULD BE AROUND 600. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GM SINCE THEY RECALLED THEIR SUV'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS ACTUALLY IN THE CAR AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE TRIP FOR THIS. WITH THE LOW MILEAGE ON MY CAR, I THINK IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PUT OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR FAULTY PROBLEMS ON GM PARTS. *TR
