2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU RECALL - #14V252000
RECALL FOR ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features.

Today as I was traveling approx 65mph, the esc light came on and then the power steering gave out. There is a recall on the 2006 models for this issue. After searching the internet tonight, it looks as if there should be a recall on this particular year as well.

I have a 2010 Malibu and my power steering is gone out I can't even drive my car cause it's to hard to turn it went out on the highway. so I took it to the shop the guy told me it was a recall on it so I call where I got the car they told me it was not a recall I'm so upset I don't know what to do but I still have to pay a car note for something I can't drive and to get it fixes its more than my car note for 4 months
