I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY SON. THE SELLER TOLD ME THAT THE STEERING WAS NOT RIGHT . SO WHILE DRIVING IT HOME IT BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER. THE DASH FLASHED "POWER STEERING". SO I SEARCHED RECALLS AND FOUND THE ATTACHED PRINT OUT. BUT WHEN I SEARCH THOUGH YOUR WEBSITE IT SAYS NO OPEN RECALLS. SEEMS TO BE HARDER TO STEER WHILE TURNING AND AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS.

POWER STEERING LIGHT IS ON. BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON THE WHEEL RANDOMLY BECAME HARD TO TURN AND A DANGER TO DRIVE

WHILE DRIVING EACH LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOW BY POWER STEERING THE WHEEL AUTOMATICALLY STARTED CLICKING WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL IN THE MIST THE WHEEL JERKS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION MAKE IT HARD TO TURN AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE POWER STEERING THEN GOES COMPLETELY OUT

REPLACED BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY ESU WARNING AND TRACTION SERVICE LIGHT COME ON POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. CAR LOSS POWER AND CUT OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS FAULTY AND EXCESSIVE FORCE HAD TO BE USED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR (ESC) ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE CHANGED THE BRAKE HUBS MORE THAN TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ESC SENSOR NEEDED TO BE SERVICED AND A NEW POWER STEERING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,700.

DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD AND THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY QUITS WORKING MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR AND INCREASING THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT. RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR SEVERAL MALIBU'S WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM BUT THIS CAR HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

WHEN STARTING MY CAR, I ATTEMPT TO TAKE IT OUT OF PARK AND I NEED TO STEP ON MY BRAKES AS IF I AM SLAMMING THEM JUST TO MOVE MY CAR OUT OF PARK. MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE REVERSED, I NOTICED THIS AT NIGHT WHEN A CAR ALMOST HIT ME. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BRAKE SENSOR SO I CHANGED IT AND THAT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE THEN 3 CARS HAVE ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE OF THIS BRAKING ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING MY TRACTION LIGHT ALSO COMES ON, IT STATES 'SERVICE TRACTION, SERVICE ESC' AND MAKES MY CAR SHAKE.
