2010 Chevrolet Malibu Steering

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING IN THE CAR NOT WORKING. IT WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING BUT IF THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED A FEW MINUTES LATER IT WILL WORK FINE FOR A FEW MILES.

SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR THE POWER STEERING SIGN WILL BE ON THE DASH, IT WILL ALSO SAY SERVICE THE ESC =. THERE WILL BE NO POWER STEERING. I CAN TURN OFF FOR AWHILE AND RE START AND THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY. THERE IS ALSO A SHACKING IN STEERING WHEEL WHILE I'M IN PARK OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT

2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU POWER STEERING SHIMMY STARTED YESTERDAY. TODAY POWER STEERING QUIT. AFTER RESTART POWER STEERING WORKS WITH HANDS OFF SHIMMY AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH ESC, AND SERVICE ESC. I COULD NOT STEER MY CAR AS USUAL. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP IT WAS FINE.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, WHEN SUDDENLY, MY POWER STEERING FAILED. I HAD TO USE A GREAT DEAL MORE EFFORT TO STEER THE CAR TO AVOID PARKED CARS, AS WELL ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD A COUPLE NEAR MISSES, BUT MADE IT TO MY DRIVEWAY. SINCE, I HAVE HAD THE SAME POWER STEERING FAIL 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD AND ON THE HIGHWAY EACH TIMEHIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY, I AVOIDED CONTACT WITH OTHER CARS WHILE MOVING, BUT ONLY DUE TO MY EXPERIENCED DRIVING. IF MY KIDS WERE DRIVING THIS CAR, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT! NOW, I LEARNED GM HAD AN EFFECTIVE RECALL FOR MY MODEL, BUT FOR EARLIER YEARS UP THROUGH 2009. HENCE, THEY HAVE CLOSED SAID RECALL AND LEFT ME WITH NARY AN OPTION. I AM TURNING TO YOU TO SEE IF A RENEWED RECALL CAN BE REOPENED!

CHEVROLET MALIBU 2010 4 CYLINDER ELECTRIC POWER STEERING HAVING INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING ISSUES BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING IN OTHER WORDS AT TIMES DURING STARTUP IT WILL BE FUNCTIONAL AND SOMETIMES NON-FUNCTIONAL SAME WHILE MOVING. SUPPOSEDLY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF A POWER STEERING RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED IN 2014 ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME MECHANICAL ISSUES. NO CORRELATION TO SPEED STEERING OR ANY OTHER NOTABLE VARIABLE THAT I COULD SEE.

JULY 2015, DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES AN HOUR, STEERING LOCKED UP ON ME AND HAD TO POWER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITH THE DASH SAYING, "ESC POWER STEERING". IN BETWEEN STARTS, THE WHEEL UNLOCKED AND THE DASH MESSAGE WAS GONE. I STOPPED AT A GM AGENT AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD ONLY HELP IF IT WAS STILL SHOWING ON THE DASH. THIS PROBLEM COUPLED WITH A CONSTANT TWITCHING OCCURRED OVER 10 TIMES IN 3 YEARS; AND IN JANUARY 2018 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY IT LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING IS SINCE GONE, AND THE TWITCHING IS SCARY WORSE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED AS THE WHEEL WILL NOT TURN. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF NOT FIXED SOON. I AM GLAD I GET TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE SERVICE POWER STEERING AND THE ESC OFF INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AFTERWARDS, A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ABILITY CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEIZE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF TO RESET THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 182,000.

FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS MY 2010 MALIBU IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. EVERY TIME I TURN MY CAR ON IT SAYS SERVICE ESC AND MY STEERING IS SUPER HARD TO WORK WITH. I CAN'T STEER MY CAR AT ALL. I HAVE TO SHUT MY CAR OFF AND RESET THE ENGINE UNTIL THE SERVICE ESC GOES AWAY. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY AND IT WENT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I COULDN'T STEER MY CAR AT ALL. I HAD TO PULL OVER WHICH WAS TOUGH BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME TRAFFIC. I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER ONLINE AND MOST PEOPLE SAY THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE STEERING COLUMN BUT MY CAR'S VIN ISN'T POPPING UP FOR ANY OF THE RECALLS. WHICH IS CRAZY BECAUSE MY CAR IS DOING THE SAME STUFF THE PEOPLE WHO GOT IT FIXED FOR FREE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND AN ABNORMAL BEEPING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (MARK CHEVROLET, 33200 MICHIGAN AVE, WAYNE, MI 48184, (734) 307-0785) WHERE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED ABOUT A SPECIAL WARRANTY AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *AN

MY 2010 MALIBU HAS STARTED TO HAVE ALL SORTS OF STEERING ISSUES, I HAVE HAD A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUES OTHERS HAVE HAD, MY ESC AND POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WORKED LIKE "NORMAL" BUT SINCE THEN THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND EVEN IF YOU ARE SITTING STILL, THE WHEEL ITSELF MAKES A SUDDEN LITTLE JERK TYPE MOVEMENT. IS THERE ANYTHING OUT THERE TO FIX THESE ISSUES???

POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR AND OTHER INDICATION ON HARD. MANUAL SAYS CONTACT DEALER. DEALER SAYS THIS VIN NOT IN RECALL WHICH WAS ISSUED.

ON MY 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. LOSS OF POWER STEERING ALMOST DIED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT .

VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART BEFORE I WENT INTO THE DITCH OR HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR.UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL WORKED AGAIN.NOW IT MOVES ON ITS OWN AND MAKES A NOISE.I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.AND I'M FED UP WITH THIS CAR AND THE RECALL NOTES I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT YOUR COMPANY.

POWER STEERING LOSS WHILE DRIVING. ESC LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING. RESTARTED CAR AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. GOT HOME AND RESTARTED CAR. LOST POWER STEERING. ESC LIGHT CAME ON SAID IT TURNED OFF.

WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY, I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING HAD STARTED TO TICK WHENEVER I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. TWO DAYS LATER, WHEN PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY MY POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I WAS THANKFUL THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING BECAUSE MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. THE STEERING WOULD NOT COME BACK ON FOR A WHILE THEN RANDOMLY AN HOUR OR SO LATER WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE POWER STEERING WAS BACK ON BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TICK LIKE BEFORE, ONLY HARDER, THEN IT WENT BACK OUT AGAIN A SHORT WHILE LATER WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE GAS STATION. THANKFULLY THIS TIME, I WAS ALONE. EVER SINCE THAT TIME THE POWER STEERING HAS NOT RETURNED. I'VE HAD THE POWER STEERING MOTOR CHANGED AND THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY, AFTER READING TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AND CORRECTED. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE THIS HAPPENS?

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS IN DRIVING MODE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED , CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE, "SERVICE ESC" AND "POWER STEERING" IS DISPLAYED AND THE POWER STEERING IS DISABLED. OCCASIONALLY, TURNING OFF THE CAR AND THEN RESTARTING IT, WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL, WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEERING WHEEL TWITCHES BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ME TOUCHING IT AT ALL TIMES WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.

POWER STEERING LIGHTS SHOWER. THE WHEEL STARED TO SHAKES AND THE WHEEL LOSE CONTROL

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.

ESC-STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ON, POWER STEERING ISSUE. CAR HAS TROUBLE TURNING AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. GM HAS RECALLED 1/3/ MILLION CARS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE-AFFECTING MALIBU, COBALT'S AND HHR EDITIONS.

I AM CONSTANTLY GETTING A WARNING THAT MY POWER STEERING IS OUT AND "SERVICE ESC". I RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT GOES AWAY FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THEN I HAVE THE SAME WARNING SIGN ON THE DASH AND THE STEERING IS HARD AGAIN.
