CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 30, 2007.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING:RACK AND PINION . WHEN I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU FROM STEVE ROGERS FORD ON 12/12/06 IT HAD ABOUT 24,600 MILES ON IT. AROUND JULY/AUGUST OF 2007 I BEGAN BEEN FEELING AN OCCASIONAL POPPING WHEN I TURNED. SOON IT BECAME MORE CONSISTENT, AND ALSO STARTED TO PULL TO ONE SIDE, ESPECIALLY WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. WE TOOK IT FOR A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT ON 10/30/07, AND THE TECHNICIAN IMMEDIATELY KNEW SOMETHING MORE WAS WRONG WHEN HE TURNED THE KEY ON AND THE WHEELS WANDERED TO THE LEFT ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT THE STEERING WHEEL EVEN BEING TOUCHED. IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE RACK AND PINION. AFTER THE ALIGNMENT, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE. THEY SENT US NEXT DOOR TO YARK CHEVROLET, WHERE THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY BY A MERE 600 MILES. THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS $550, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE THE "REPROGRAMMING" OF THE "COMPUTER ASSISTED" POWER STEERING SYSTEM OR AN ADDITIONAL ALIGNMENT. I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY LAYING AROUND TO FIX IT NOW. I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BORROW IT. I THOUGHT IN BUYING A NEWER VEHICLE, I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MAJOR REPAIRS FOR A WHILE. PERSONAL RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE MALIBU, AND I BELIEVE RECALLS SHOULD BE ISSUED SINCE IT IS APPARENT GM HAS NOT REMEDIED THIS PROBLEM YET. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT51F96F.

ON FRIDAY NOV.16,2007 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30AM WHILE I WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY,THE POWERSTEERING IN MY 2006 MALIBU STOPPED WORKING AND I SIDESWIPED MY HUSBANDS CAR, SCRATCHED THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE MALIBU AND CRACKED THE HUB CAP. I CONTACTED ROADSIDE SERVICE TO PICKUP THE MALIBU AT MY RESIDENCE. . ONCE THE MALIBU ARRIVED AT FRANK Z CHEVEROLET,WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE DEPT. REP. CALLED ME AND STATED THAT I HAD A FAILURE IN THE POWERSTEERING ELECTRIC MONITOR AND TOLD ME TO CALL CHEVROLET TO FILE A CASE. I WAS VERY CONCERNED AND FRIGHTENED ABOUT THE INCIDENT BECAUSE IF I HAD OF BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY I COULD OF BEEN HURT,KILLED OR INJURED SOMEONE ELSE. CHEVROLET'S CUST. ASSIST. REP. DID NOT COMFORT ME AT ALL. I EXPRESSED THAT I WANTED TO TERMINATE MY LEASE ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT ANYMORE. SO HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH CERTAINS STEPS AND NOT TO OVERREACT. CHEVROLET CALLED OUT THEIR 3RD PARTY GROUP OF ENGINEERING SPECIALIST TO INSPECT THE CAR AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT A COMPONENT IN THE POWERSTEERING MONITOR DID IN FACT FAIL. CHEVROLET'S REP. STATED THAT THE ONLY OPTION I HAD WAS TO REPAIR THE CAR. IF I REFUSED,THEY WOULD TAKE THE RENTAL CAR BACK ASAP. SO IN SO MANY WORDS THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS EITHER THEIR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY.

THEY EVEN EXTENDED IT UNTIL AFTER THE CAR IS REPAIRED AND STATED THAT THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. AS OF TODAY, ON DEC. 8,2007 THE CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. I TRULY FEEL THAT MY SECURITY AND SAFETY WAS NOT TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION, ONLY THE PROFIT THEY WERE GOING TO LOSE. ANYTIME THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MEN DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE,ANYTIME CHEVROLET CUST ASSIST. REP. HAVE TO CALL ENGINEERING ANALYST TO INSPECT THE CAR AND CONFIRMS THE FAILURE, THAT MEANS THAT THIS IS NOT A MINOR CASE, IT WAS SOMETHING MAJOR,ESP. TO ME.

I LET THE CAR DRIFT TO A PARKING LOT AND PROCEEDED TO CUT THE MOTOR OFF AND START AGAIN TO TRY TO GET POWER STEERING IN AN OPERATIVE MODE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A NUMBER OF TIMES . COMING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THERE IS A FIRE HYDRANT AND THE WHEEL LOCKED AND I COULD NOT TURN AWAY FROM THE HYDRANT IN TIME AND I HIT IT. I WAS TURNING A CORNER IN TO TRAFFIC AND IT LOCKED AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO TAKE IT TO SOMEONE THAT REQUIRED THAT I LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT . BUT THE SHOP WAS QUITE A DISTANCE FROM MY HOME. I WAITED UNTIL JULY AND CALLED THE SALESMAN WHO WORKS AT A DIFFERENT PLACE NOW AND HE SAID I COULD TAKE TO ANY CHEVROLET DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH ZURICH . THE REPAIR SHOP STATES THAT THEY DON'T COVER ALL THE COST TO GET IT REPAIRED LESS $200.00 OUT OF POCKET. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN SOME OTHER COMPLAINTS OR IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS TYPE VEHICLE. *TR.Mileage was 3670 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT51F36F.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2008.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO, I STARTED FEELING A TUG IN MY STEERING WHEN I WOULD MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. THEN IT GRADUALLY MOVED TO A PULLING OF MY STEERING WHEEL, WHERE YOU COULD VISIBLY SEE MY STEERING WHEEL MOVE WITHOUT ME TOUCHING IT. THEN AT TIMES IT ALMOST FELT LIKE YOU WERE STEERING ON AN ICY ROAD. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MY POWER STEERING GOING COMPLETELY OUT. NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE HAD TO TURN OFF MY CAR THEN RESTART IT TO RESET IT. THERE HAS BEEN THREE INSTANCES WERE MY HUSBAND OR MYSELF HAS BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY MESSAGE BOARD SOUND WITH A MESSAGE "POWER STEERING", THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, THEN IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. WE HAVE HAD TO QUICKLY TRY TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON. MY HUSBAND CAN PHYSICALLY STEER THE CAR WHEN IT IS LIKE THAT, I CAN NOT THOUGH. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A TREMENDOUS HAZARD AND I AM CONCERNED WITH GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. WE WENT TO THE REPAIR SHOP (CAR IS PAST THE WARRANTY) AND THEY SAID THE ESTIMATE WILL BE CLOSE TO $3,500. APPARENTLY THEY HAVE HAD TO FIX 2 MALIBU'S ALREADY AND KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IT IS ASHAMED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET, BUT HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM CHEVROLET. *TR.Mileage was 40000 miles.

WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS 4TH TO 2ND GEAR UNDER HIGH ENGINE RPMS THE WARNING BELL CHIMES 3 TO 4 TIMES AND THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCKS UP. AS SOON AS I RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE UPSHIFTS I HAVE FULL STEERING AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES SO AS AN EXPERIMENT I TRIED TURNING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE, IT FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO BREAK THE STEERING WHEEL OFF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE 4 DIFFERENT INVOICES STATING THIS PROBLEM TO CHASE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I ALSO HAVE 3 DIFFERENT INVOICES IN WHICH THEY TRIED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FAILED. 1ST INVOICE CAUSE: PCM ENGINE-REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS 89 W. 2ND CAUSE: DTC C0900 FOUND INTERMITTENT FAILURE AT THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR FOR THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. 3RD CAUSE: C0900 ADDED GROUNDING STRAP TO COIL (PULLING TO MUCH VOLTAGE) THERE BULLETIN MATCHING MY COMPLAINT IS #2133820.

I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE WEBSITES WITH PEOPLE HAVING THESE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS WITH MY MODEL YEAR AND SOME OF THE PREVIOUS YEARS. I WILL YET AGAIN BE TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THEM TO DO A CHEAP FIX; IF ANYTHING AT ALL. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE THEIR ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM STARTS CLAMMING LIVES. MY NEXT STEP AFTER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL BE CATCHING THEIR ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILING ON VIDEO CAMERA AND DEMONSTRATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF CONTROL DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU CANNOT TURN NEITHER LEFT NOR RIGHT. I AM SURE SOME NEWS ORGANIZATIONS WILL BE INTERESTED IN THIS FOOTAGE! HOW LIVES ARE IN JEOPARDY AND NO ONE IS BOTHERING TO DO ANYTHING.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Mar 06, 2009.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SHAKING WHEN DRIVING, SO I HAD MY TIRES CHECKED BUT IT WAS NOT THE TIRES. THE PROBLEM WAS MY OUTER TIE ROD ENDS NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR IS A 2006 CHEVY MALIBU, WHICH IS IN GOOD CONDITION & REGULARLY SERVICED. THERE ARE THREE OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW PERSONALLY WITH THE SAME MODEL CAR THAT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE SHOP, I FOUND THAT IS A HARD PART TO LOCATE BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO LAST FOR YEARS BEFORE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I THINK THE CHEVROLET DEALER SHOULD FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS BECAUSE ITS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMERS TO HAVE SUFFER THE EXPENSE OF THE REPAIR. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 61902 miles.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Apr 26, 2009.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . THE POWER STEERING LIGHT IS ON AND THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE LEADS TO ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN THE 2006 CHEVY MALIBU LT. I WILL LIKE TO HAVE THIS ON FILE AS A COMPLAINT TO THE MFR FOR NOT MAKING THIS A RECALL. I AM SURE ITS BECAUSE IT COSTS TOO MUCH TO FIX THIS PARTICULAR ITEM IN THE VEHICLE. SOME CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THIS GOING ON FOR A WHILE WITH THEIR VEHICLES AND HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT DUE TO THE FACT THAT EVEN THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND GM SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. I AM NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE THEM SEE THE ERROR IN THEIR DECISION TO IGNORE THIS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT AND BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT THEY SHOULD RECALL IT. I WILL LIKE TO HAVE SOME GUIDANCE ON HOW TO TAKE THIS DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WHOM ELSE I CAN CONTACT TO LET THEM KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING. PLEASE HELP. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. I REALLY WANT MY CAR AND I JUST WANT TO GET IT FIXED. IT'S A SHAME THAT GM CAN'T STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT ONCE ITS DRIVEN OFF THE LOT. THIS IS A MFR DEFAULT AND IT SHOULD CONSTITUTE A RECALL RIGHT AWAY. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 84567 miles.

I PURCHASED A MALIBU IN NOV 2007, WHEN I GOT THE CAR AND SUMMER CAME THE STEERING WENT OUT, I COULD NOT STEER. LUCKILY FOR ME ITS WHEN I WAS STILL IN MY DRIVEWAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND ALL WAS WELL. I NOTICED AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT WAS AS IF A HAND TOOK OVER THE STEERING IT HAD ITS OWN MIND, I ASKED MY STEPFATHER AND HE SAID IT HAPPENED WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON SO I LET IT GO AS THAT AND NOW I AM SORRY AS MY WARRANTY IS OVER BY 2000 MILES. WELL ONLY ONE MORE TIME DURING THAT SUMMER DID I LOOSE STEERING AGAIN IN MY DRIVEWAY. YESTERDAY HOWEVER MY STEERING WENT OUT FOUR TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, I HAD TO PULL OVER FOUR TIMES AND RESTART MY CAR, IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS I AM 50 AND HAD BROKEN MY ARM 2 YEARS AGO WITH NOT MUCH LESS MUSCLE TONE IN THAT ARM. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND WHEN LEAVING TOWN I GO THROUGH STEEP GRADES TO GET ANYWHERE AND THAT DAY I HAD TO TAKE MY SON TWO HOURS AWAY TO THE V.A. BY READING ON THIS SITE I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, WILL IT TAKE A DEATH CAUSED BY THIS TO DO A RECALL? ELECTRONIC STEERING? ARE THEY CRAZY? I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AND CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER ONE. PLEASE CONSIDER PUSHING FOR A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES THEIR LIFE, AND WHEN THEY DO A HUGE LAWSUIT WILL BE MADE AGAINST GM FOR LOOKING THE OTHER WAY AND IGNORING THE ISSUE. *TR.Mileage was 39600 miles.

THAT I CAN LIVE WITH BUT NOW WE HAVE POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. THE POWER STEERING COMES & GOES & THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS VIBRATING & TURNING ALL ON ITS OWN. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP & DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE LAST FEW MONTHS ON THE NET I'VE SEEN THAT THIS PROBLEM IS HUGE IN ALL MALIBU'S 2004 - 2008 MODELS. I FIND A GM PARTS BULLETIN IN WHICH YOU CAN GET THESE PARTS REPLACED AT GM'S COST FOR A 2005 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOTHING FOR A 2006. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT CAN BE LIFE THREATENING. THE CAR GIVES YOU NO WARNING OF A PROBLEM, THE STEERING WHEEL JUST STARTS GOING CRAZY. SPECIAL BULLETIN IN REFERENCE TO THE 2005 MODEL IS #07126. HOW CAN GM JUSTIFY ONLY REPLACING 2005 MODELS WHEN ALL SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME DEFECT.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 10, 2009.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . WIFE, MOTHER-IN-LAW, AND TWO DAUGHTERS ON 400 MILE TRIP WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ON INTERSTATE, THE CAR MAKES A SUDDEN AND VIOLENT LEFT TURN. MY WIFE PULLS HARD TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND MANAGES TO KEEP CONTROL. AFTER DETERMINING THERE WAS NO FIX, THEY PROCEEDED HOME WITH CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE WHEEL TO KEEP IT FROM TURNING LEFT. AT HOME I INSPECTED THE CAR. WHEN YOU START IT, THE WHEEL WILL TURN FULL LEFT ALL BY ITSELF. I CAN TURN IT RIGHT WITH ALOT OF EFFORT, BUT IF I LET GO OR SLIP, IT TURNS FULL LEFT. THERE IS NO LIGHTS, BELLS, WARNINGS OR ANYTHING. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING COLUMN WAS WAY OUT OF CALIBRATION, AND I HAD THEM CALIBRATE IT. IT WORKED FOR 1 DAY AND NOT TURNS RIGHT. GM REFUSES TO ADMIT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT I DON'T SEE HOW IT CANNOT BE. THE OWNER IS A 65 YEAR OLD LADY ON SS AND CANNOT AFFORD THE $850 REPAIR BILL AND GM DOES NOT ADMIT ANY ISSUES. SHE CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT IT TRYING TO TURN TO THE DITCH AT ANY MOMENT. RIGHT NOW IT IS CONSTANTLY TURNING TO THE RIGHT. *TR.Mileage was 52725 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT51886F. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 problem was reported in SAPULPA, OK. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

THE 2006 CHEVY MALIBU, THAT I OWN, HAS STEERING PROBLEMS WHERE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GOES OFF MAKING THE CAR VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. IT HAS DONE THIS 8 TO 10 TIMES THE LAST FEW MONTHS. IT THEN RESETS ITSELF, SO I HEAR. LUCKILY, SO FAR, IT HAS HAPPENED ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS CAR STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM AT AROUND 50,000 MILES. IF THIS HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEEDS, ACCIDENTS/DEATHS COULD CERTAINLY OCCUR. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND SEE THAT MANY MALIBU OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME INCIDENCE WITH THE STEERING. MY STEERING IS ALSO MAKING A THUMPING NOISE AT LOW SPEED TURNS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $1400 TO FIX THE STEERING PROBLEM. I FEEL GM SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE WHOLE STEERING SYSTEM IN THESE VEHICLES ARE A DISASTER AND THESE CARS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 26, 2007.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . GM/CHEVROLET/MALIBU 2006 1ST OCCURRENCE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THREE TIMES - SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES APART. POWER STEERING FAILS WHEN CAR IN MOTION - MANUAL STEERING REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT EFFORT TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. TURNING THE IGNITION OFF THEN RESTARTING THE CAR RESET THE POWER STEERING. NO INDICATION ON INSTRUMENT PANEL BEFORE OR AFTER. IMMEDIATELY CALLED DEALER. THEY SAID THERE MIGHT BE AN OVERVOLTAGE PROBLEM AND WOULD ORDER THE PART. HAVE HEARD NOTHING MORE. (SPRINGHILL MOTORS - SPRINGHILL, LA) TODAY THE POWER STEERING FAILED THREE TIMES IN LESS THAN A MILE. FINALLY MUSCLED THE CAR HOME WITHOUT POWER ASSISTED STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO RESET THE POWER STEERING WHILE IN PARK. WHILE STILL IN PARK, TURNING THE WHEEL THE SLIGHTEST BIT TO THE LEFT CAUSES POWER STEERING TO FAIL. IF WHEEL TURNED RIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER RESTART, THE STEERING DOES NOT FAIL - BUT TURNING IT BACK TO THE LEFT BRINGS IMMEDIATE FAILURE. IF THIS HAS NOT BECOME AN ISSUE AND A RECALL, IT CERTAINLY NEEDS TO BECOME ONE. I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACT IN TIME HAD I BEEN ON AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN A CURVE. THE INITIAL FEELING IS NOT THAT STEERING HAS BECOME DIFFICULT, RATHER THAT STEERING HAS BECOME LOCKED AND IMPOSSIBLE. *TR.Mileage was 58748 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT51886F.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN MY 2006 MALIBU LT, WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, THE STEERING GOT REALLY TIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY, AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE STEERING WENT BACK TO NORMAL, AND A FEW SECONDS LATER IT LOCKED UP AGAIN. A POWER STEERING WARNING CAME UP ON THE DASH. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR HAD GONE BAD. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD, THAT DID NOT RESULT FROM NEGLECT ON MY PART AS THE OWNER. HAD I NOT BEEN AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER, OR IF THE ROADS WERE WET OR SLIPPERY, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE HAD BAD OUTCOME.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 30, 2009.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . THE POWER STEERING IN MY 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE SENSOR COMES ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE. SO FAR IT HAS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY BEGINNING BACK ABOUT SEPT 30, THAT SAT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD LOOK AT WHAT WAS HAPPENING, I WAS TOLD THEY COULD DO NOTHING WITHOUT THAT SENSOR ON. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN BUT AS THE FOLLOWING STATES I HAVE KIND OF FIGURED OUT HOW TO WAIT AND THEN KEEP ON GOING. SO I FINALLY FIGURED OUT IF I STARTED THE CAR AND THE SENSOR APPEARED, I WOULD TURN OFF THE CAR-WAIT ABOUT 5MIN, THEN RESTART THE CAR & NO SENSOR APPEARANCE. IT HAPPENED ONCE MORE WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO SAN ANTONIO, FRIDAY NIGHT, OCT 30 - I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO AND THE SENSOR JUST POPPED ON (IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN B/C I HAD THE CD PLAYER, THE A/C, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL ON) ANYWAY THANK GOODNESS THERE WERE NO MAJOR TURNS SO I DROVE THE CAR WITH IT ON FOR ABOUT 1MORE HR BEFORE PULLING INTO A REST STOP. THEN IT RESET ITSELF AGAIN. NOW THESE LAST 3 MORNINGS (MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS COLD) I HAVE STARTED THE CAR AND THE WARNING POWER STEERING APPEARS, I TURN OFF THE CAR, WAIT THE 5MIN AND RESTART THE CAR, IT DOESN'T APPEAR BUT AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 2-3MIN, IT WILL APPEAR AND I AM USUALLY IN AM TRAFFIC AND NEED TO TURN AT 2 LIGHTS & THANK GOODNESS THE TURN SPACE IS GREAT OR I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROCEED. I GET TO WORK AND HAVE TO PARK ACROSS FROM WHERE I NORMALLY DO BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL INTO MY SPACE. SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AS THEY ARE UNABLE TO CHARGE ME THE $100 DIAGNOSIS FEE W/O THE SENSOR BEING ON. I CALLED CHEVROLET. COM AND THEY HAVE CONNECTED ME WITH JUPITER CHEVROLET AND NOW I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO SHOW UP AT THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING AND HOPEFULLY THE SENSOR WILL TURN ON AS I GET TO THE DEALERSHIP SO I WILL NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM OF TURNING FROM TRAFFIC INTO THE CURVED DRIVEWAY (WHICH ALSO HAS ABOUT 4 TURNS BEFORE EVEN ARRIVING.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2009.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . I BOUGHT MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU IN FEB 2009 . IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A USED CAR LOT, WE STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED IT FROM SUGGEST WE TAKE IT TO LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT. THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE IT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. AT THAT TIME, IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN EVERY SO OFTEN SO I COULD NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THEM KEEP MY CAR FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. AT FIRST, I CHALKED IT UP TO THE COLD TEMPERATURES, BUT AS SPRING AND SUMMER PASSED IT STILL HAPPENED. I HAVE NOW HAD THE CAR A YEAR AND IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES FOUR OR FIVE TIMES BEFORE I GET OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE THE POWERSTEERING MESSAGE COME ACROSS THE DISPLAY, I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT WILL RESET. USUALLY THE RESET WILL ONLY WORK IF I AM NOT IN A TURN POSITION. I CAN BE GOING 65MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT WILL CLICK OFF AND LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL. THANK GOD, THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD TO GET OUT OF CRUNCH ON THE INTERSTATE. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE AFTER $50.00 FOR A DIAGNOSIS THEY ADVISED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR/MODULE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR THE PRICE TAG OF $850.00. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THERE ARE SO MANY CONSUMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THEY WOULD ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT. I NOW CAN'T DRIVE ANYWHERE WITHOUT IT HAPPENING 5 TO 7 TIMES. I USUALLY JUST LEAVE IT TILL I HAVE TO GET IN A PARKING SPOT. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL , RESTART THE ENGINE AND HOPE IT WILL REENGAGE. I HAVE CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE CAR SERVICED EVERYTIME AT A GM AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THAT IT NOW HAS 80K ON IT THEY WILL NOT HELP AT ALL. WELL IT WAS PURCHASED IN 2009 WITH 60 K ON IT AT THAT TIME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF WARRANT THEN ALSO. THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL AT ALL AND DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR.Mileage was 60000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT53F16F.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 02, 2008.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . I PURCHASED MY MALIBU IN DEC '06. BY JUNE, MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, BUT MY MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I STARTED NOTICING TROUBLE TURNING THE WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT IT WAS ONLY WHEN I TURNED LEFT. INITIALLY I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS STILL POWER STEERING, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR OVER A YEAR PERIODICALLY. THEN IN AUG '08 ON MY WAY HOME WITH MY NEWBORN IN THE CAR....I TURNED LEFT TO PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY, AND LOST THE POWER STEERING. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THE REPAIR COST OVER $1,000 AND THE DEALER SAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN IN A YEAR OR SO. THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN AND POWER STEERING MOTOR WAS REPLACED. AFTER THE DEALER'S 12/12 WARRANTY EXPIRED, I STARTED HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS ALL OVER AGAIN. SO FAR IT HASN'T GONE OUT, BUT THE "POPPING" NOISE AND "LOOSE" STEERING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, PLUS THE MORE DIFFICULT STEERING WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IS BACK AGAIN. WHEN THE ORIGINAL INCIDENT HAPPENED, I HAD JUST TURNED OFF A MAIN STREET. IF IT HAD HAPPENED JUST TWO BLOCKS EARLIER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN "T-BONED" WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. *TR.Mileage was 60000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT51F26F.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . MY GIRLFRIEND OWNS A 2006 MALIBU LS AND SHE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SERIOUS STEERING ISSUES OVER THE PAST MONTH. HER POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST KIDDING ABOUT IT UNTIL I FINALLY DROVE IT AND WHILE TURNING A CORNER THE STEERING WENT OUT ON ME AND I NEARLY WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT HER MALIBU IS NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PHENOMENON, I FOUND MORE POSTS ABOUT THIS THAN I COULD COUNT. NOW I SEE THAT GM JUST ISSUED A RECALL FOR TWO VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AT THE SAME TIME AS HERS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, MY QUESTION IS; WHY AREN'T THE MALIBUS' INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL WHEN THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE SAME STEERING ISSUES AS THE TWO RECALLED VEHICLES? *TR.Mileage was 45000 miles.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on May 01, 2009.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. I WAS HOPEFUL THAT THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED RECENTLY INCLUDES MY CAR, BUT IT DOES NOT...WHICH REALLY DISAPPOINTS ME SINCE I JUST PRINTED OFF AROUND 15 PAGES OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS TO TAKE TO MY DEALER. THE FAILURE ON MY CAR STARTED LAST SPRING-SUMMER AND HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS FREEZING AND THEN WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO DRIVE STRAIGHT, IT WOULD EITHER GO FAR RIGHT OR FAR LEFT. I THOUGHT I NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT (WHICH I HAD DONE), BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. THIS TERRIFIED ME. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A DAY ALL WEEK LONG. WE HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN (ON OUR OWN-RECALL ON 2005 MALIBU'S WON'T COVER MY 2006 EVEN THOUGH THE REP AT GM WE TALKED TO CONFIRMED MY CAR CAME OFF THE LINE IN 2005) AND IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING THE NEXT DAY. HERE IS A DESCRIPTION OF EVERYTHING MY CAR DOES. IT HAS ALWAYS MADE A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL FREEZE UP AND BECOMES REALLY TIGHT MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL. WHEN IT'S FROZEN, AND I TRY TO DRIVE STRAIGHT BY SLIGHTLY TURNING THE WHEEL, IT WILL ONLY TURN DRASTICALLY TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT MAKING MY WHOLE CAR JERK TO EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALSO WHEN IT'S DOING THIS, IT MAKE A LOUD VIBRATION NOISE AND THE WHEEL MOVES ON IT OWN IF I'M STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IN PARK..EVEN OCCASIONALLY WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. WHEN IT'S MAKING THIS LOUD SOUND I CAN ALSO FEEL THE VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PAD. POWER STEERING WILL DISPLAY ON THE DIC SCREEN ON THE DASH. FROM WHAT I'VE READ,I KNOW HUNDRED OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO KEEP THROWING MONEY INTO PROBLEMS THAT WERE CREATED EVEN BEFORE WE BOUGHT THESE CARS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR.Mileage was 50000 miles.

I HAVE AN 06 CHEVY MALIBU LT V6 THAT HAS HAD A STEERING ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY IT WAS IN THE SHOP 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS (ABOUT EVERY 15K MILES) FOR STEERING PROBLEMS AND NOISES WHILE TURNING. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHATF 2 TIMES AND DID NOTHING THE 3RD. I HEAR NOISES ALL THE TIME WHEN I TURN (THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG) AND JUST THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN AND ALMOST WRECKED IF IT WASNT FOR MY QUICK THINKING. ONCE I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARED THE ENGINE IT APPEARED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE ON A LOT OF 06 MALIBU'S AND I AM WONDERING WHY THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS (COBALT AND G5) FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE BUT NOT ON THE MALIBU WHEN THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT A RECALL WHEN PEOPLE CAN GET SERIOUSLY INJURED EVEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR (OR SHOULD I SAY DEATH TRAP ON WHEELS) AT ALL. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN..Mileage was 62000 miles.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . I OWN A 2006 CHEVY MALIBU AND HAD TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE'S STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING FAILS EACH AND EVERY TIME WHEN DRIVING AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS AND ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING HARD TURNS TO EITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT. GOING AROUND A CORNER OR PULLING ONTO A CITY STREET IS ENOUGH TO MAKE IT FAIL. UPON FAILURE, THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM DISPLAYS "POWER STEERING" AND REQUIRES ME TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON BEFORE FUNCTION RETURNS TO THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON FOUR CHEVY/PONTIAC MODELS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW STEERING COLUMN W/STEERING MOTOR WHICH COST ME $700 ON A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR FROM THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND EVEN THE SERVICE CONSULTANT STATES THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I COULD HAVE CAUSED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE POWER STEERING FOR THE MALIBU FOR IT FAILING AT HIGH SPEEDS BUT NOT AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AS IT IS UNEXPECTED AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT EASY TO STEER AS GM LIKES TO CLAIM. I FILED A COMPLAINT TO GM AND A DISTRICT REP CALLED ME AND STATED THAT I WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY RE-REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS A MALIBU YET IT IS THE CORRECT YEAR FOR THE RECALL WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. *TR.Mileage was 50100 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT51F96F. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 problem was reported in MADISON, WI. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on May 22, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I MADE A TURN ESPECIALLY A LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP TO THE POINT IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. NOW I NOTICE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL GET REALLY TIGHT WHILE I AM DRIVING, AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY OTHER DAY. I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AT THIS POINT, AND I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES HARD TO TURN, I HAVE TO PUT ALL MY WEIGHT ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE THE TURN. NO WARNING SUCH AS A POWERING STEELING LIGHT COMES ON. I THINK IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES IT COULD LEAD TO SOMEONE GETTING SEVERELY INJURED OR DYING. *TR.Mileage was 85000 miles. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 problem was reported in PRAIRIE, MS.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . POWER STEERING GOES OUT WITH NO PARTICULAR CAUSE. OCCURS IN VERY COLD WEATHER, OCCURS IN VERY WARM WEATHER, GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING (FREEWAY/CITY STREETS), MAY GO OUT WITH SLIPPERY CONDITIONS WHERE STEERING MOVES FREELY. DEALERS CAN NOT DO ANYTHING IF THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED, THE SYSTEM APPEARS TO RESET ITSELF AND YOU HAVE POWER STEERING. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL DO NOTHING UNLESS A DIAGNOSTIC FROM A DEALER IS DONE (COSTING FROM $120 - $200) WHERE IF IT IS NOT OCCURRING, THE DIAGNOSTIC WILL DO NOTHING. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE RECOMMENDATION, WHEN THE POWER STEERING DOES GO OUT, FIND A DEALER AND HAVE THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. SO A DEALER IS GOING TO GET US IN ANYTIME WE HAPPEN TO STOP WITH POWER STEERING OUT, DON'T TURN CAR OFF AND WAIT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TO BE COMPLETED, PAY THE COST OF DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THEN GM MAY GIVE SOME HELP IN HOW TO FIX THEIR ISSUE. THIS IS A HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY GM. MY BELIEF THIS IS SAME ISSUE THEY ISSUED RECALL FOR THE COBALT ON. DESCRIPTION OF THAT ISSUE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS IS HAPPENING WITH MALIBU. MUST BE SIMILAR COMPONENTS WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING???? MAY GO 4 MONTHS WITHOUT IT OCCURRING, MAY HAPPEN FOR 4 DAYS IN A ROW OFF AND ON, VERY SPORADIC IN OCCURRENCE. FIRST OCCURRED AT 40,000 MILES, OUT OF WARRANTY, AND CONTINUES NOW WITH 75,000 + MILES. *TR.Mileage was 75000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZS51F86F.

MY 2006 CHEVY MALIBU IS HAVING POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEM RESULTS IN LOSS OF STEERING. ON JULY 8, 2010 I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED MOVING THE CAR TO LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT THEN I COMPLETELY LOST STEERING. AFTER A MINUTE OR SO THE STEERING CAME BACK BUT ONLY TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO PUT ALL MY MUSCLE INTO IT TO STEER. POWER STEERING FLASHED ON MY RADIO DURING THIS OCCASION. AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF A COUPLE TIMES THE POWER STEERING FLASH DISAPPEARED AND MY STEERING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE LOST STEERING COMPLETELY FOR A SHORT TIME DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON JULY 9, 2010. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY STEERING COLUMN AND IT WOULD COST CLOSE TO 600 DOLLARS TO FIX.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 06, 2010.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . I DRIVE A 2006 MALIBU, AND HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. THE STANDARD 2006 MALIBU HAS EPSA (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST). THERE IS NO RESERVOIR TO FILL FLUID AS WITH OLDER MODELS. I FOUND OUT TODAY THROUGH EXPERIENCE THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LOCKS/UNLOCKS ON ITS OWN WHICH HAS CREATED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING AND AS I WAS PULLING INTO ANOTHER DRIVEWAY (MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN), THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED SO THAT I COULDN'T TURN, AND I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM HITTING A POLE. I AM FEARFUL OF THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY SINCE A CHILD RIDES IN THIS VEHICLE REGULARLY. I AM THANKFUL THAT MY CHILD WASN'T IN THE VEHICLE DURING THIS TIME. I CAME IN TO WORK TO DO SOME RESEARCH SINCE THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THERE IS NO RESERVOIR FOR THE POWER STEERING FLUID. NO PUMP, NO HOSE, NOTHING TO TOP OFF. WHAT I FOUND THROUGH MY RESEARCH IS SCARY AND IRRESPONSIBLE OF GM. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM IMMEDIATELY. I AM DISAPPOINTED TO FIND THAT GM HAS NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE NOR IDENTIFIED AND ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM (OR OTHERS). I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY MAILINGS OR NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT GM CAN LEGALLY PUT OUT A VEHICLE FOR MASS PRODUCTION WITH SUCH HAZARDOUS FLAWS SUCH AS THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PROBLEM (AMONG OTHERS). AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND BLOGS ABOUT THE EPS SYSTEM, I AM CONVINCED THAT THE MAILBU IS SUFFERING FROM THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE COBALT AND OTHER VEHICLES IDENTIFIED IN A 2005 (MODEL) RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR.Mileage was 97000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT51FX6F. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 problem was reported in HOUSTON, TX.

I WAS STAYING AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE IN SAN ANTONIO BECAUSE I HAD A COURT SETTING THERE. THE MORNING OF THE INCIDENT, I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE AND WAS HEADED TO THE COURTHOUSE. I WAS ABOUT TWO BLOCKS FROM MY FRIEND'S HOME WHEN I HEARD A DING AND A POWER STEERING MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE RADIO. MY POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY WENT OUT, AND I PULLED MYSELF INTO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED A FRIEND FOR A RIDE AND WAS ABOUT TO CALL AAA WHEN I REALIZED I WAS IN THE WAY OF A SCHOOL BUS PICKING UP COLLEGE STUDENTS FROM THE COMPLEX. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON TO INCH UP A BIT, BUT I NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. I RETURNED TO MY FRIEND'S HOME, GOT A RIDE TO THE COURTHOUSE, AND RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE. I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENING AND THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY A COMPUTER GLITCH THAT COULD AND WOULD OCCUR AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2009.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with STEERING . WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL AT SPEEDS UNDER 30 MPH, ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING WILL FREQUENTLY SHUT DOWN, WITH WARNING CHIME SOUNDING AND "POWER STEERING" WARNING DISPLAYED IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC). THE CAR CAN STILL BE STEERED BUT REQUIRES CONSIDERABLY GREATER EFFORT THAN A CAR WITH MANUAL STEERING. ONCE THE CAR IS PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT "RESETS" ITSELF, AND OPERATES NORMAL AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT OCCURS. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN MARCH OF 2009, WITH 71,000 MILES, AND HAS GOTTEN STEADILY WORSE OVER TIME. IT NOW HAS 105,000 MILES ON IT, AND NOW HAPPENS SO OFTEN (ABOUT 12-15 TIMES PER DAY), THAT THE CAR IS ALMOST UNDRIVEABLE. I'VE CONTACTED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS, WHO ALL TELL ME THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROX $1100, AS THERE ARE NO "SERVICEABLE" PARTS IN THE ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THIS IS THE EXACT SAME STEERING PROBLEM THAT GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR IN MARCH OF 2010, FOR CHEVY COBALTS AND PONTIAC G6'S, BUT WON'T RECALL MALIBUS, BECAUSE THERE HAVEN'T BEEN "ENOUGH" COMPLAINTS FILED YET. I DON'T HAVE $1100 TO FOR A NEW STEERING COLUMN THAT GM HAS ADMITTED IS A PROBLEM IN IT'S OTHER VEHICLES, BUT WON'T RECALL MINE BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH OWNERS HAVE YET TO FILE A COMPLAINT! *TR.Mileage was 71000 miles.

ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING COLUMN (EPS) IN MY CAR, AND MANY OTHERS OF THE SAME YEAR OR OLDER HAS/WILL FAIL. VERY DANGEROUS, CAR WILL NOT TURN WHEN DRIVER WANTS IT TO. FORESEE ACCIDENTS AND INJURY IF LEFT UNREPAIRED. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THE 2005 MODEL, WHICH USES THE SAME EPS AS THE 2006. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING AT DIFFERENT MILEAGE MILESTONES, HOWEVER, CHEVY/GM IS BASICALLY SAYING THEY DON'T EXPECT THEIR SEDANS TO LAST LONGER THAN 100,000 MILES BY NOT REMEDYING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE 3 KIDS, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THERE MUST BE A LOGICAL REASON AS TO WHY IN 2007 THEY SWITCHED TO POWER STEERING FLUID INSTEAD OF THE JUNK EPS. GM/CHEVY CAN EXPECT ME, AN OWNER OF 5 CHEVY VEHICLES, TO NEVER PURCHASE THIS TYPE OF POWER STEERING AGAIN. I AM ASKING FOR A RECALL, A REPAIR, A COMPROMISE FORM GM/CHEVY TO FIX THE VEHICLE AND KEEP MY LOYALTY TO THE BRAND. IT'S VERY UPSETTING A RECALL WOULD GO OUT FOR AN OLDER VEHICLE, YET THIS ONE GETS IGNORED. HOW MAY OF MY CHILDREN NEED TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE GM/CHEVY TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CRAPPY HANDIWORK. I HAVE AN ESTIMATE ON THE REPAIR, WHICH WOULD RUN BETWEEN $740-$940. A RECALL ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT, WOULD SHOW THEIR CONCERN; AND DEDICATION TO CONSUMERS. *TR .Mileage was 101000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT51826F.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 07, 2007.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with STEERING . I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY MALIBU. AT ABOUT 38,000 MILES THE ELECTRIC STEERING QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO REPLACE. SINCE THE INSTALLATION OF NEW ELECTRIC STEERING COMPONENT, THE STEERING SYSTEM MAKES A VERY LOUD SNAP OR CLUNKING OR METAL ON METAL SOUND EVERYTIME I MAKE A TURN OR TAKE OFF FROM A STOP. SOME THING IS SHIFTING OR MOVING IN THE STEERING GEAR SHAFT OR RACK & PINION. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL THAT IT DOES IT AND SOME GREASE WOULD HELP QUITE IT. THAT WAS THERE ANSWER FOR POOR ENGINEERING. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A PERMANENT FIX FOR IT FROM GM. IF I TRY TO SELL MY MALIBU TO SOMEONE ELSE I WILL EITHER TAKE A LARGE LOSS OR NOT BE ABLE TO SELL IT AT ALL. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE GM HAS NOT STEPPED UP AND ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. TO HAVE ANYTHING DONE AT A DEALER IS 60 TO $80.00 PER HOUR, WHICH ALL THE UNFORTUNATE OWNERS OF THOSE GM ELECTRIC STEERING VEHICLES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME PRESSURE PUT ON GM TO RESOLVE THIS VERY EXASPERATING AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUS EROSIVE SAFETY CONDITION. AS TIME GOES ON THE SITUATION GETS WORSE AND RESONATES MORE AND MORE UP THE STEERING COLUMN. LETS GET THIS FIXED BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF LIFE BECAUSE THE STEERING FAILS ON THESE AUTOMOBILES. SINCERELY. *TR.Mileage was 38895 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT51FX6F. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 problem was reported in LUDINGTON, MI. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Apr 16, 2011.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . FAULTY GAS GAUGE ON MY GM CHEVROLET MALIBU. I RAN OUT OF GAS AND WAS STRANDED JUST AFTER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WENT ON. I HAD NEVER RUN OUT OF GAS AND JUST PREVIOUSLY DURING MY DRIVE THE FUEL LEVEL READ BETWEEN 1/8 AND 1/4 FULL TANK. SO THE FUEL LEVEL READING INDICATED MORE FUEL AVAILABILITY THAN WAS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE IN THE TANK. I PROBABLY ONLY WENT 10 MILES AFTER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WENT ON AND MY CAR HAS GOOD FUEL ECONOMY. I THINK THE READING WAS INACCURATE. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF RANDOM FUEL LEVEL READING WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND BELL GOING OFF, THEN LATER RETURNING TO ANOTHER, NOT LOW FUEL LEVEL, AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT GOING OFF AGAIN. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I FEEL LIKE I CANNOT TRUST THE GAUGE AND I RESET MY TRIP ODOMETER ON EVERY FILL-UP SO I CAN KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY MILES I'VE DRIVEN. *TR.Mileage was 78785 miles.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Apr 10, 2011.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with STEERING . THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN MY 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU FAILED REPEATEDLY. IT WOULD WORK SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED. BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY CONCERN, I HAD IT REPAIRED AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. I FOUND THAT CHEVROLET WILL PAY TO REPAIR SOME 2006 MALIBUS WITH THE PROBLEM, BUT NOT OTHERS. I WAS TOLD MY CAR HAS THE WRONG "VIN-SERIES," SO CHEVROLET REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIR. IT IS THE EXACT SAME DEFECT/PROBLEM FOUND IN OTHER MALIBUS OF THE SAME YEAR. I WOULD REQUEST THAT THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT PUSH CHEVROLET INTO A WIDER RECALL SO ALL MODELS WITH THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM ARE COVERED. LOSING POWER STEERING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY TO MY WIFE WHO WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO STEER THE CAR AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN IT FAILED. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IN A PARKING LOT. I FILED A CLAIM WITH CHEVROLET. IT DID NOT RESPOND IN 60 DAYS AS PROMISED. I CALLED TO CHECK THE STATUS OF MY CLAIM. CHEVROLET SAID IT WAS DENIED. IT REFUSED TO SEND ME A RESPONSE IN WRITING, WHICH IS WEIRD. IT MAY BE A SIGN OF A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT IT DOES NOT WANT TO FIX WITHOUT PRESSURE FROM DOT. *TR.Mileage was 56350 miles.

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY MALIBU WITH A SERIOUS STEERING PROBLEM. JUST LIKE THE COBALT THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. IS THE SAME STEERING SYSTEM IN THE MALIBU AS THE COBALT ? THE STEERING JUST DECIDES TO "STOP WORKING ON IT'S OWN". NO MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST I MIGHT BE GOING, IT PULLS TO THE LEFT , IT POPS WHEN I STEER, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON, BUT RESETS. SO BY THE TIME I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND PAY FOR ANOTHER SERVICE TIME, IT IS DONE AND THEY SAY DO THIS DO THAT. I HAD THE STEERING FIXED TWICE NOW BECAUSE IT WAS POPPING. THEY SAID THE STEERING WAS "OUT OF PLACE". WHEN THE STEERING STOPS, IT IS TO HARD TO GRASP AND STEER OUT OF HARMS WAY. BUT GM STATES.. THE STEERING NEVER GOES COMPLETELY OUT.... THEY SHOULD DRIVE ONE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I DRIVE MY GRAND-KIDS AROUND IN THIS CAR ....... IF THEY FIXED THE COBALT,THEY NEED TO FIX THIS NOW BEFORE MORE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN ! DON'T THEY FEEL A OUNCE OF REMORSE ? OR IS THIS LIKE THE TOYOTA DEAL ? THEY DON'T CARE AS LONG AS YOU ARE MAKING MONEY AND THERE ARE"THAT MANY DEATHS" MAYBE THEY SHOULD LET THEIR KIDS AND GRAND-KIDS RIDE IN OR DRIVE THESE CARS.......

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 14, 2011.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . PURCHASED A USED MALIBU 2 YEARS AGO. MY CAR IS A 2006 MODEL AND NOW HAS OVER 120,000 MILES ON IT. MY CAR STARTED HAVING START- UP PROBLEMS. SOME DAYS I WOULD GO AND TRY TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START UP. THIS WENT ON OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. FINALLY I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP TO HAVE CHECKED. RIGHT AWAY I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP WAS CHANGED. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE SHOP, I WENT TO THE MARKET AND WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE STORE, THE CAR WOULD NOT START UP. I CALLED THE SHOP BACK AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED RIGHT BACK TO THE SAME SHOP. THIS CAR EVENTUALLY ENDED UP AT THE SAME MECHANIC SHOP THREE TIMES, BEFORE I FINALLY DECIDED EITHER THE SHOP WAS NOT AWARE OF THE (RIGHT PROBLEM) AND CHANGED A FUEL PUMP THAT WAS NOT NECESSARY OR I NEEDED TO FIND A MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE MECHANIC SHOP. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO ANOTHER CERTIFIED SHOP, I WAS TOLD THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER I AM STILL STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT WILL NOT START UP EVERYDAY. *TT .Mileage was 130000 miles. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 problem was reported in INDIANAPOLIS, IN.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2011.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with STEERING . I HAVE ONLY HAD MY 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU FOR 6 WEEKS, AND I ALREADY AM EXPERIENCING 3 MAJOR PROBLEMS. 1. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL GO WILD ANYTIME GAS IS ADDED TO THE TANK, AND AS THE WEEKS HAVE GONE BY IT IS LESS ACCURATE. I ONLY KNOW WHEN MY GAS TANK IS FULL OR EMPTY. I HAVE NO IDEA ON ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. 2. WHEN I WILL START THE CAR THE POWER STEERING WILL NOT COME ON WITH THE CAR. I WILL HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF, REMOVE THE KEY AND OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR TO REGISTER THE NEXT TRY AS A TRULY NEW START. IF YOU FAIL TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR, THE CAR DOES NOT COMPLETELY POWER DOWN SO IT WILL NOT RECYCLE. 3. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WILL BEGIN TO LOCK UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING, AND I WILL HAVE TO FIGHT THE WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR GOING STRAIGHT. I HAVE LET GO OF THE WHEEL ONCE OR TWICE AND THE WHEEL WILL TURN ENOUGH IN ONE DIRECTION TO NEARLY DO A UTURN. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHEN A DRIVER WAS INATTENTIVE, IM PRETTY SURE IT WOULD CAUSE ONE HECK OF A ACCIDENT! THE WORST PART IS THAT THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HAD THE CAR FOR 8 MONTHS, SO THEY MUST HAVE KNOW ABOUT THESE DEFECTS AND SOLD IT TO ME ANYWAYS. THE DEALER PUT GAS IN THE CAR BEFORE WE DID THE PAPERWORK. I KNOW THE GUY SAW THE GAS GAUGE GOING NUTS, AND THAT'S WHY HE INSISTED ON BEING THE ONE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE GAS STATION. I THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE RESET THE COMPUTER TO GET THE CAR TO BEHAVE FOR TEST DRIVES, BECAUSE I HAD ONLY PUT 40 MILES ON IT BEFORE ALL THIS STUFF STARTED. CERTAINLY NOT A COINCIDENCE. *TR.Mileage was 56000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZS51F66F. CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 problem was reported in KANSAS CITY, KS.

A COUPLE OF TIMES, I BARELY MADE IT INTO THE PARKING LOT AND AVOIDED HITTING ANY CARS WHILE MAKING THAT TURN.

I WAS JUST BACKING UP AT CHURCH AND THE DINGING NOISE CAME ON LIKE WHEN YOUR CAR DOOR IS OPEN. I LOOK AT THE INFORMATION ON THE SCREEN AND IT SAYS POWER STEERING. I COULD NOT TURN MY CAR WITHOUT USING 2 HANDS TO DO IT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME (2 BLOCKS). AFTER LOOKING UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND SEEING SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND SUGGESTING I TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON, I WENT OUT TO TRY IT AND IT WORKED. IT'S AS IF I HAD NO PROBLEM AT ALL. I WENT AROUND THE BLOCK AND DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT WHAT IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DOES IT AGAIN. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY FRONT END. LEFT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT AND BOTH STABILIZER END LINKS LOOSE, REPLACED CONTROL ARM, AXLE FALLING OFF, SHAFT, YOU NAME IT. AND I DON'T ABUSE MY CAR. JUST WANT TO ADD YET ANOTHER COMPLAINT TO THE REST. AND YES, THIS WILL BE MY LAST CHEVY. WE ARE NOW DEPENDING ON OUR 1997 FORD RANGER WITH 212,000 MILES ON IT. MY CHEVY HAS 85,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR CAME ON WITH FOUR BELL TONES - I LOST THE ABILITY TO EASILY STEER THE CAR. I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO GET THE CAR STEERED OFF THE FREEWAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN ON AND POWER STEERING RESUMED. I GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY AND WITHIN 15 MINUTES THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND I HAD TO STRUGGLE JUST TO STEER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IF THE POWER STEERING TOTALLY LOCKS UP IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE POWER STEERING ON THE 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU IS ELECTRONIC AND ITS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE 2004 VERSION WAS RECALLED FOR PER MY MECHANIC. *TR.Mileage was 112000 miles.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 30, 2012.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with STEERING . THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHEN MY WIFE WAS ON HER WAY HOME AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN DOWN OUR STREET. THE BULLETIN SAYS THAT WHEN THIS POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILS, THE VEHICLE CAN STILL BE SAFELY TURNED, BUT I TAKE EXCEPTION TO THAT. MY WIFE IS OF AVERAGE STRENGTH AND IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN WALKING ON OUR STREET SHE COULDN'T HAVE STEERED CLEAR OF THEM OR IF A CAR WAS PARKED WHEN SHE TURNED THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT.I HAD THE CAR IN THE GM DEALERSHIP SERVICE AT 100,000 MILES FOR FRONT END ISSUES AND HAD OVER $1000.00 OF REPAIRS INCLUDING NEW FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS. I FEEL THAT WHENEVER A VEHICLE COMES IN THAT HAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE LISTED THAT IS AS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AS THIS, THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE REPLACED. WHEN IT FAILED COMPLETELY IT HAD 106,000 MILES AND WE ARE TOLD BY GM THAT WE ARE OUT OF LUCK FOR ANY HELP. THIS PROBLEM IS LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE AND EVEN THOUGH IT RESETS ITSELF WHEN TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, IT MAY GO OUT AGAIN IN A WEEK, A MONTH OR AN HOUR AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN WITH CONFIDENCE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GM THAT THEY WON'T AT LEAST COVER SOME OF THIS REPAIR. THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF PROBLEM THAT GOES OUT GRADUALLY AS TO ALERT YOU OF AN ISSUE, BUT RATHER ALL AT ONCE AND TAKES YOU TOTALLY BY SURPRISE. I'M SURE ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT AND IS MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN GM MAKES IT OUT TO BE. THEY SHOULD EITHER FIX THE PROBLEM PARTS OR AT LEAST COVER A PART WITH PROVEN DEFECTS EVEN IF IT IS JUST PAST THEIR MILEAGE. *TR.Mileage was 106000 miles.

EVERY TIME I PROCEED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND IT'S HOT OUTSIDE, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP CAUSING ME TO GRAB THE WHEEL AS HARD AS I CAN AND MERGE TO THE SHOULDER TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART SO THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES DRIVABLE.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Mar 12, 2012.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with STEERING . I JUST PURCHASED MY 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU ABOUT A MONTH AGO. IT HAD REALLY LOW MILES FOR A CAR THAT OLD( (99939 AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE). I LOVE MY CAR AND IT HAS DONE NOTHING REALLY TO ANGER ME. I GOT A POWER STEERING WARNING THROUGH MY RADIO DISPLAY. THE CAR DROVE NORMAL SO I PAID IT LITTLE OR NO ATTENTION. THE ONE DAY I WALKED TO THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS FLUID LEAKING FROM UNDER THE CAR. SINCE I ONLY HAD THE CAR A VERY SHORT TIME I TOOK IT TO THE WARRANTY CENTER TO BE LOOKED AT, THEY PUT MY CAR ON THE COMPUTER AND NO DEFECT CODES CAME UP. THE MECHANIC ASKED ME WHAT COLOR WAS THE FLUID THAT WAS LEAKING, LIKE I WOULD REMEMBER THAT! I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T KNOW. PUT A WHITE PIECE OF PAPER UNDERNEATH THERE AND WAIT A LITTLE WHILE. THE SHOP HAS HAD MY CAR OVER A DAY AND CAN TELL ME NOTHING. I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT WAITS ON SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. WARNING LIGHTS AND DEFECT CODES POP UP FOR A REASON. THE REASON I DON'T KNOW BUT I WILL EVENTUALLY. WITH ALL I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE STEERING ALL THE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH DEFECT CODES. IS THERE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING OR WITH THE FAULT DISPLAY SYSTEM? *KB.Mileage was 10884 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZS51816F.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 25, 2012.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with STEERING . WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH PERFORMANCE OF CAR UNTIL THIS EPISODE. FORTUNATELY, MY SON & I MADE IT BACK FROM CALIFORNIA, THE DAY BEFORE WE CAME DOWN DONNER PASS. NEXT DAY STARTED TO TAKE CAR AND VERILY GOT GOING WHEN I COULDN'T STEER, VERY HARD ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT BACK HOME. POWER STEERING MESSAGE DISPLAYED ACROSS RADIO SYSTEM ALONG WITH BELL SOUND. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK CAR TO DEALERS WHICH COST $120. FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSIS. THEY REPORTED THE BRAIN (MOTOR/MODULE CODE CO807) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $958. FIRST, THEN THEY WOULD CHECK STEERING COLUMN WHICH WOULD INVOLVE ADDITIONAL COST. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR REPAIR & ENDED UP BRINGING CAR HOME SAFELY AFTER PAYING FOR DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE THE INVOICE WHICH THEY GAVE WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS AND MY DECLINE OF SERVICE. HERE IT SITS, I'M TOO SCARED TO DRIVE AND AM LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE ACCESS TO ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR THE TIME BEING. GOING TO TRADE IN AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY PRODUCT! THIS IS DEFINITELY A HAZARD AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. A "RECALL" NEEDS TO BE ISSUED FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 89000 miles.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 02, 2007.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with STEERING . THE ELECTRIC STEERING ASSIST STOPPED WORKING. VERY HARD TO CONTROL CAR. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND SHUT CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED THE MALIBU, THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK LONG ENOUGH TO GET IT BACK HOME. HAD IT FIXED AND COST ME OVER $600.00 AT THE CHEVY DEALER. AT 56000 MILES I WAS CONTACTED BY GM, AND THEY RE-IMBURSED ME FOR THE COST. SINCE THEN, I AM NOW EXPERIENCING A SOMEWHAT LOUD AND AGGRAVATING CLUNKING OR SHIFTING NOISE WHEN TURNING EITHER DIRECTION OR TAKING OFF FROM A START. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE WHOLE STEERING MECHANISM AND THE STRESS BEING PUT ON OTHER COMPONENTS MAKING THEM FAIL. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS ON THE CAR. MY PROBLEM IS THAT NOT ONLY THE SAFETY ISSUE, BUT THE RESALE VALUE IS SEVERELY REDUCED. WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD BUY THE CAR KNOWING ITS PROBLEMS? THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 38895 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZT51FX6F.

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2012.CHEVROLET MALIBU 2006, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with STEERING . I WAS DRIVING AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT-COMPLETELY. IT WAS THE HARDEST THING TO TURN THAT I HAVE EVER DRIVEN AND I OWN A 66 MUSTANG THAT WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH POWER STEERING. THERE IS LITERALLY NO WAY TO STEER THE CAR WHEN DRIVING VERY SLOW LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY. MY FATHER-IN LAW BUILDS/DESIGNS PRODUCTION CARS FOR A LIVING AND HE TOOK MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP HE WORKS WITH AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE DEFECTIVE PART GOES OUT ABOUT EVERY 30,000 MILES. THE COST TO REPLACE JUST THE PART IS AROUND $800 WITHOUT LABOR. THE ACTUAL PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE IS NOT SOLD ON ITS OWN SO YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW STEERING COLUMN SINCE THE SMALL PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE IS RIVETED TO THE COLUMN. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY CAR. THE COLUMN HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE BY A DEALERSHIP AND APPARENTLY DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. CHEVY WILL NOT COVER THEIR BAD PARTS/DESIGN AND IT IS ONE OF THE MOST UNSAFE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. ITS LIKE WHEN TOYOTAS PRIUSES ACCELERATOR WOULD GET STUCK-ITS JUST AS DANGEROUS. WHAT NEEDS TO MAKE A RECALL HAPPEN? IT HAS AFFECTED SO MANY PEOPLE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. DO WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THE PROBLEM CAUSES MULTIPLE TRAGEDIES TO SAY NOW ITS WORTH THE TIME TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND DO GOOD BUSINESS? BACK YOUR PRODUCT CHEVY. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 54000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1ZU54814F.
