THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY GOES OUT WHEN DRIVING AND WON'T WORK AGAIN UNTIL I CUT THE CAR OFF . THE DEALERSHIP WANT TO CHARGE ME $130 TO LOOK AT IT AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIX DURING THE RECALL IN 2015. THIS ISN'T FAIR CHEVY IS SCAMMING US AND POTENTIALY CAUSING INJURIES.

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT COMPLETELY AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED CHEVROLET ABOUT THE RECALL ON IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CLOSED THE RECALL AND ARE NO LONGER FIXING THE ISSUE. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO STOP WORKING RANDOMLY. THE REAR BLINKERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY.

POWER STEERING ALERT ON DASHBOARD. POWER STEERING HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MY CAR IN THE PAST AND SIMILAR MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILING OR HAVING ISSUES.

MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE NOTED MOSTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A TURN WHERE I WOULD BE ACCELERATING CAUSING ME TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO COMPLETE THE TURN.

MY 2006 CHEVY HAS BEEN HAVING SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE POWER LOCK DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK BY PRESSING THE BUTTON AND INSTEAD WILL ON THEIR OWN LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES WITHOUT THE BUTTONS OR CAR RUNNING FOR SOME INSTANCES OF 1 MINUTE UP TO 5 MINUTES. WE HAVE HAD TO PRY A WINDOW OPEN TO GET INSIDE THE VEHICLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. HOWEVER SOMETIMES YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET THE DOORS TO UNLOCK WITHOUT TURNING THE KEYS IN THE MANUAL CAR LOCK LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE LOCK PULSE WHEN SITTING STILL OR DRIVING THE CAR.

SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THIS USED CHEVY MALIBU, IF I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE IT SOMETIMES LOCK MYSELF STEERING WHEEL IN POSITION, AND JERKS MY CAR A GOOD BIT. THEN MY CAR GIVES ME A ERROR MESSAGE ON MY RADIO STATING POWER STEERING PUMP FLUID. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND NOBODY COULD FIND IT AND SUGGESTED IT MAY HAVE A FUSE NOT AN ACTUAL RESERVOIR FOR FLUID. IT OCCURS AT WHILE TURNING, DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND ALL OTHER ROADS, GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS OR MOUTAINS. AS WELL AS MY MIDDLE SEAT BELT BUCKLE NO LONGER LATCHING INTO THE BUCKLE WILL HOLD FOR A MOMENT AND THEN AFTER APPLYING BRAKES THE SAFETY BELT WILL DISLODGED FROM THE BUCKLE. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE GAS HAND GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY WILL SITTING STILL WITH THE CAR RUNNING. I CAN FILL THE TANK AND IT WILL SAY IT'S EMPTY AND WILL EVEN HAVE MY ESTIMATE MILES LEFT ALSO SAY LOW FUEL.
