TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL EMITTED AN ABNORMAL CLICKING SOUND AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE AND ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V252000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL), 14V153000 (STEERING), AND 14V224000 (POWER TRAIN). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

I WAS STOPPED AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN RIGHT AND PROCEED MY CAR WENT DIAGONALLY ACROSS THE ROAD BECAUSE THE STEERING HAD GONE OUT OF THE CAR. I WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALER, APPLE VALLEY CHEVROLET, AND THE STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN ON 08/04/09 AND AGAIN ON 05/26/2010 AT WHICH TIME I WAS CHARGED A DEDUCTIBLE OF $100.00 BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.AT THIS TIME I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT ANY FUTURE PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF.THESE REPAIRS WERE DONE AT HOFFMAN AUTOMOTIVE. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE STEERING AND WITH THAT A FORM FOR REIMBURSEMENT IF ALREADY FIXED AND PAID FOR. I SUBMITTED ALL REQUIRED FORMS FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE DEDUCTABLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2014. I HAVE FAXED THOSE DOCUMENTS MANY TIMES, MADE REPEATED PHONE CALLS AND HAVE JUST TODAY RECEIVED A DENIAL OF REIMBURSEMENT. THE REASON WAS BECAUSE OF A PART NUMBER. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE STEERING, NOT A SPECIFIC PART NUMBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ATTEMPTING TO AVOID A DOG, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE DOG. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NEAREST INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS TO THE DAMAGED FRONT END. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000. UPDATED 03/17/15*LJ UPDATED 9/12/2017*CN

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN, HEADED STRAIGHT, ON A ROAD THAT IS A HILL, AND I WAS HEADED DOWN HILL. THE STEERING WHEEL DIDNT SEEM TO BE TO BE RESPONDING PROPERLY, SO I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY AND TRIED TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND DRIFTED DOWN THE HILL AND INTO A TREE. THE WHOLE FRONT END , HOOD AND BOTH FENDERS ARE DAMAGED. I AM SURE WE HAD PAOWER STEERING RECALL WORK DONE, THIS IS AWFUL. THE CAR WAS NOT WORTH A WHOLE LOT BUT IT WAS IN PRETTY GOOD CONDITION. WE DIDNT HAVE COLLISION COVERAGE SO NOW I HAVE A REAL TOTAL LOSS.

I WAS LEAVING OUT OF WALMART TO ENTER ONTO HWY 301 WHEN I ACCELERATED MY STEERING WHEEL HAD TIGHTENED UP LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO SHUT DOWN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON APRIL 24, 2015 SAME THING. THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING (RECALL #14116). I HAD IT SERVICED ON 10/27/2014. WHICH I THOUGHT WAS CORRECTED UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 6, 2015,WHICH WAS STILL THE POWER STEERING, AND I END UP PAYING 525.76, FOR SOMETHING GMC WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED IN THE RECALL. I SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE I COULD'VE BEEN HIT NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND IS HARD TO TURN. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 3 RECALLS. THIS TIME IT IS THE POWER STEERING MODULE.

MY CAR IS IN MY HUSBANDS NAME BUT THE PROBLEMS WITH CAR STARTED WITH RECALLS. I NEVER RECEIVED A STEERING COLUMN RECALL UNTIL MY CAR WAS ALREADY OVER 150,000 MLS. WHEN TAKEN TO THE GARAGE THEY FIXED ONE RECALL AND CONVENIENTLY 2 MORE REPAIRS THAT DIDN'T EXIST NEEDED FIXED THEY THEN TOLD ME THE STEERING COLUMN WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACED. I SAID I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX AND THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED IT AS GOOD AS THEY COULD POWER STEERING PROBLEM COULD HAPPEN AGAIN BUT MAY NEVER. SO ON JUNE 26TH I HEADED TO CHILDRENS HOSPITAL TO BE WITH MY SON WHEN HE WAS PUT UNDER ANESTHESIA FOR AN MRI(HE HAS DOWN SYNDROME). CAR WAS ACTING UP NOT TURNING RIGHT BUT I MADE IT THERE. I SENT KIDS WITH THEIR DAD THE NIGHT BEFORE BECAUSE I FELT IT WASN'T DRIVING RIGHT. ON THE WAY HOME I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON HIGHWAY 28 IN THE RIGHT LANE WHEN MY CAR STARED GOING TOWARDS THE PASSING LANE. I TRIED TURNING G THE WHEEL BACK. IT TURNED BUT THE WHEELS DIDN'T FOLLOW. IT CONTINUED INTO PASSING LANE, HIT THE CEMENT WALL. THE FRONT LEFT TIRE CLIMBED THE WALL. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED BECAUSE SAME DEALER BROKE MODULE THAT CONTROLLED AIRBAGS, THEY WERE TO REPLACE IT FREE WHEN PART CAME IN BUT NEVER CALLED. I LANDED IN MEDIAN BETWEEN HIGHWAYS. THANK GOD I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE. NOW I HAVE NO CAR. IS THERE ANYONE THAT FIGHTS FOR THE LITTLE GUY ANYMORE?

WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE THIS VEHICLE WITH A WRENCH IN THE MIDDLE LIT UP ON MY DASH BOARD AND THAT'S WHEN MY WHEEL LOCKED UP I COULDN'T MOVE THE WHEEL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT I HAD TO FORCE IT TO TURN TO BE ABLE TO MAKE TURNS AND GET OVER.

WHEN TRYING TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT IT WON'T TURN AND MAKES A POPPING NOISE IN STEERING SHAFT ? UNDER CAR INSPECTION NOTICED THAT STEERING SPLINE OR SHAFT WHERE IT MEETS THE YOKE IT JUST SPINS WHEN TURNING WHEEL! WHEELS WILL NOT TURN. CAN'T DRIVE. THIS CAR IS MY DAUGHTERS AND I'M DOING THE RESEARCH FOR HER. *TR

MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON FRIDAY APRIL 24,2015 .AND WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR SAID I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING IT FIXED. SO WHAT DO I DO BECAUSE I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL PAPER ON IT. BUT WHEN I LOOKED IT UP IT SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NO ONE HAS NOTIFIED ME TO GET THIS CHECKED. *TR

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN A SIGNAL AND A DASH LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT, NO PREVIOUS WARNING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND WHEN IT WAS HOOKED UP TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSIS DONE, THE POWER STEERING JUST RESET ITSELF. HOWEVER IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I WAS CHARGED $44.99 FOR THAT INFORMATION. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER NEAR ME ABOUT A WEEK LATER WHICH WAS THE VERY FIRST APPOINTMENT I COULD MAKE. THERE WERE ACTUALLY 3 EXISTING RECALLS (TWO UNRELATED) ON MY CAR AND ALL THREE WERE ADDRESSED ON MARCH 24. I LEFT BELIEVING THAT MY CAR WAS NOW FIXED AND SAFE TO DRIVE. ON APRIL 16TH I DROVE OVER 30 MILES ONE WAY FROM MY HOME WITH THE FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY BECAUSE ON APRIL 18, THE POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT, AGAIN WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK ON APRIL 20 AND AFTER CHARGING ME $59.50, (THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $118!!!) I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS "UNRELATED TO THE RECALL" AND WAS NOT COVERED. I DID NOT HAVE IT FIXED DUE TO THE HIGH COST (QUOTE OF $889.ESTIMATED) AND I FEEL STRONGLY THAT IT IS ALL RELATED! MY PERSONAL MECHANIC RECOMMENDED I REPORT THE ISSUE TO GM AND FEELS THAT GM SHOULD FIX THE POWER STEERING ISSUES. THE RECALL ISSUE CAUSED A "TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT" WITH THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN. HE IS WILLING TO FIX THE CAR BUT NOTED THAT IF HE DOES I WOULD HAVE NO RECOURSE WITH GM AND THAT I SHOULD TRY GETTING IT COVERED BEFORE HE DOES ANYTHING TO THE CAR. NOW, NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE, IT IS UNSAFE. NOT DRIVING THE CAR AS IT CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHERE EITHER MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED AND CAUSE EXTENSIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO FIX IT, A CAR TO GET TO WORK AND I AM MAKING PAYMENTS AND PAYING INSURANCE ON A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I'VE HAD LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU. I CALLED GM MANY TIMES ASKING IF THERE WERE ANY TYPE OF RECALLS. THERE WERE NONE. HAD POWER STEERING FIXED AT MY COST. SEVERAL YEARS LATER I RECEIVED RECALLS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU. TWO MONTHS AGO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED. THE POWER STEERING PARTS WERE REPLACED. TODAY I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT IN MY CAR AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS WORSE THAN EVER BEFORE. TODAY THE POWER STEERING NOT ONLY LOCKED UP, BUT THEN THE STEERING WHEEL POPPED BACK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WITH FORCE AND A LOUD NOISE. HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED HOME BECAUSE IT WAS ON A SUNDAY AND NOW GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY. FOR 4 YEARS I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH MY POWER STEERING. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR!!! *TR

I LOST POWER STEERING AND GOT A MESSAGE IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING. I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 1 IN NEW JERSEY AND GOING ABOUT 45-50 MPH. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE CAR, HOPING IT WAS JUST AN ELECTRONIC GLITCH. THAT SOLVED THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I LEARNED READING THE NYTIMES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MAXX AND IN FACT THERE HAD BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON THE CAR. I CALLED A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED AND FOUND THERE ARE THREE OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALLS ON MY CAR. IN ADDITION TO THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM, THERE ARE ALSO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE AND THE BRAKE LAMP. ALL THESE RECALLS WERE MADE IN APRIL AND MAY OF LAST YEAR AFTER ALL THE BAD PUBLICITY ABOUT COVERING UP DEFECTS THAT RESULTED IN DEATHS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THREE PROBLEMS, BUT THIS IS MY LARGER CONCERN: I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I RECEIVED ONLY ONE RECALL NOTICE (NOT THREE) AND THAT ONE NOTICE (WHICH WAS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION CABLE) SAID THAT THE PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE AND THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY WERE AVAILABLE. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED, BUT APPARENTLY THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND HAVE BEEN FOR SOME TIME. MY QUESTION FOR YOU: WHAT IS NHTSA DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT INDIVIDUAL CONSUMERS RECEIVE ACCURATE INFORMATION ABOUT SAFETY RECALLS? I WAS LUCKY. I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD IN AN URBAN AREA -- AND NOT TAKING A CURVE ON A MOUNTAINSIDE -- WHEN MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. WHY WASN'T I TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM EARLIER? WHY DID I HAVE TO WAIT TILL READING ABOUT IT IN THE NYTIMES? AND WHY DIDN'T I RECEIVE A FOLLOWUP LETTER WHEN THE PART BECAME AVAILABLE FOR THE TRANSMISSION CABLE? THANK YOU. *TR

STEERING WHEEL APPEARS TO LOCK UP AND POWER STEERING LOST. STEERING COLUMN APPEARS LOOSE. HAPPENS DAILY AND APPROX. TEN TO TWELVE TIMES WEEKLY. OFTEN NOISE RATTLING LIKE IN LOWER OR BASE STEERING SHAFT AREA. SOMETIMES HAPPENS A MINUTE OR TWO AFTER WE START CAR AND VEHICLE MOVES. SOMETIMES AT ABOUT 20-45 MPH IN CITY DRIVING. OTHER TIMES WHEN CAR IS GOING 50-75 MPH IN HIGHWAY DRIVING. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN ON POT HOLED OR OTHERWISE ROUGH ROADS. OUR ONLY KNOWN STEERING RELATED GM RECALL WAS COMPLETED RECENTLY BY GMC DEALER. HOWEVER, PROBLEMS CONTINUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING.

AFTER I TOOK MY 2004 CHEVY MALIBU IN TO GET FIXED UNDER THE RECALLS, MY CAR KEEPS FLASHING THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT AND ON MY RADIO THE "CHECK POWER STEERING" COMES ON FOLLOWED BY A CHIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND POWER STEERING WAS LOST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND AS I ACCELERATED AND MADE A LEFT TURN THE STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY HALF WAY THROUGH MY TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SPIN FREELY IN EITHER DIRECTION AND IT IN NO WAY ALLOWED ME TO STEER. MY VEHICLE WENT INTO THE DITCH BY THE TIME I STOPPED. I HAD JUST MINUTES BEFORE GOTTEN OFF THE INTERSTATE. HAD SOMEONE BEEN WALKING ALONG THE ROAD THAT DAY I COULD HAVE HIT AND KILLED THEM. THIS FAILURE CAME WITHOUT WARNING. THE STEERING HAD A SMALL AMOUNT OF PLAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT, HOWEVER NO MORE THAN I FELT WAS NORMAL FOR A CAR OF THIS AGE. THE ISSUE WAS FOUND TO BE THAT THE STEERING SHAFT PULLED OUT OF THE RACK AND PINION. I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE PART AFTER THE FAILURE, BUT BEFORE IT WAS REPLACED THAT I CAN SEND IF YOU WISH. IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO THE OWNERS AND THOSE AROUND THEM. *TR
