2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICAL ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LOWER STEARING WENT OUT AND ALL THESE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. IT'S SUPER HARD TO STEER I HAVE 3 KIDS THAT RIDE IN THIS CAR EVERYDAY AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO MY HEADLIGHT DRIVERS SIDE HAS GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND ITS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX!

DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL JUST GOT REAL HARD TO STEER AND BELIEVE IF IDEAS TURNING I MIGHT HAVE WENT UP ON THE CURB OR RAN INTO SOMEONE I HOPE THEY WAIT TO SOMEONE DIE BEFORE THEY RECALL THIS PROBLEM

THE STEERING STARTED JERKING, ABOUT A WEEK LATER I HAD NO POWER STEERING. SERVICE ESC IS ON THE DASH ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AN AUDIBLE SOUND EMITTED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY DASH LIGHTS UP POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC ANDY POWER STEERING GOES COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CAR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE CHILDREN AND IT'S REALLY HARD TO EVEN TURN THE WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT AND REAR BRAKE LIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. THE PARTS REPLACED WAS NOT STATED BY THE CONTACT. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

WHILE SITTING IDLE MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES ERRATICALLY. SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE CAR THE SERVICE ESC AND POWER STEERING SHOWS ON MY DASH, WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IT WILL NOT APPEAR AGAIN AND THE STEERING IS BACK. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHILE DRIVING IF I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO ONE SIDE IT STOPS. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OUT.

MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND MY ANTI LOCK BREAK LIGHTS CAME ON, AFTER RESEARCHING THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN 09'S IN VERY DANGEROUS, THERE WERE RECALLS ON THIS BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS SAYING MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED, I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE.

INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. SO FAR, IF I SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND RESTART, THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. BUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE I FEEL A SLIGHT TUGGING TO THE RIGHT ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE TUGGING ALSO HAPPENS WHEN STOPPED IF I SLIGHTLY TURN THE WHEEL.

DRIVING AND ESC COMES ON AND POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF. PULLED TO SAFE PLACE, WHICH WAS HARD WITHOUT POWER... AND TURNED CAR OFF BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN SHORTLY THERE AFTER.
