2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND THE SERVICE ESC WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN HOWEVER, SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HER DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER BLEECKER CHEVROLET (1200 E CUMBERLAND ST, DUNN, NC 28334, (910)891-1001) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE STEERING SENSOR MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 155,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WAS HARD TO TURN CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH. THE ESC LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING WHEEL IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. THE CAR HAS 100K MILES AND IS A 2009 CHEVY MALIBU. THIS IS NOT PART OF A RECALL THAT IS EXTENDED TO MY CAR BUT I AM AWARE THAT MANY MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME CAR SINCE 2015! THANK YOU.

MY STEERING WHEEL AGGRESSIVELY SHAKES WHEN I'M IN PARK, AT SLOW SPEEDS AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE 'ESC OFF' DISPLAYS ON THE DASH AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS USE TO HAPPEN RARELY, BUT NOW IT IS ALMOST EVERY TIME I START MY VEHICLE. EVEN WHEN I'M ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THIS WARNING DISPLAYING, IT IS STILL VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED DUE TO THE SHAKING. THIS STARTED 3 YEARS AGO AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE.

2014 I WAS TOLD THE CAR HAD THE RECALL FIXED, I DID T PURCHASED THE CAR UNTIL THREE YEARS WHICH WAS 2017 ,NOW IT'S 2021 THE SAME ISSUES THAT THE RECALL NEEDED I NEED FIX AND CHEVY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX IT I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 4-5 YEARS AND NOW APPARENTLY THE SAME ISSUES IS REOCCURRING

POWER STEERING COMPLETELY WENT OUT, AND ESC SERVICE LIGHT TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE A LIGHT COMES ON DASH SAYING SERVICE ESC POWER STEERING AND THEN ESC OFF. THE POWER STEERING GOES AND CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO GET OFF . GOING 60 MPH AND SCRAPE THE RETENTION WALL. NO WARNING AT ALL JUST STOPPED. THIS IS INSANE.

OUT OF NO WHERE MY POWER STEERING IS GONE AND 'SERVICE ESC' DISPLAYS ON MY DASH WHILE I'M STATIONARY AS WELL AS IN MOTION AND TURNING.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HEAR A BEEPING NOISE THEN A LIGHT COMES ON DASH SAYING SERVICE ESC POWER STEERING AND THEN ESC OFF. THE POWER STEERING GOES OFF AND I CAN HARDLY HANDLE TURNING THE WHEEL. I GOT IT TURNED AROUND AND TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK HOME THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE FOR AWHILE NOW AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED FOR THIS RECALL. OBVIOUSLY IT NEEDS TO BE ADDED.
