WHILE DRIVE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE TURNING AND ALMOST CRASHED. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT RECALL PART ON TRANSMISSION WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIME AND THEY KEEP DENYING ME SAYING THERE IS NO PART MADE FOR MY CAR . THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING COMPLAINT SINCE THIS SUMMER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE - GAS HAND DOWNS AND LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON AND EVENTUALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS WAS REPAIRED IN 01/2010. AS OF JULY 2014 THIS ISSUE HAS REOCCURRED. THIS IS A ISSUE WHICH I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, A POLICE OFFICER PULLED THE CONTACT OVER AND INFORMED HER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I GOT A RECALL FOR MY 2007 CHEVY MALIBU TO FIX A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH BRAKE LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING NO PROBLEMS WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO KEEP IT SAFE. HOWEVER, ABOUT A MILE AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, AND ON MY WAY HOME, I WENT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CAR BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER AND IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS BUT THEN SEEMED TO GO AWAY. SINCE THAT TIME IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT I CAN'T PREDICT. IF I PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, THE STEERING SEEMS TO "RESET" AND IT IS OK UNTIL I MAKE THE NEXT TURN. THE DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS "UNRELATED TO THE RECALL" SO I CALLED GM ON THE PHONE AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER BUT IN THE END THEY DID NOT WANT TO COVER ME EVEN FOR JUST THE EXPENSE OF DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS A LOT MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE OTHER ISSUES FOR WHICH THEY HAVE HAD RECALLS. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT NO ONE IS GOING ONTO AN ON-RAMP OR SIMILAR SITUATION AND VEERS INTO ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING UP HILL AND TRYING TO GO AROUND A CORNER. IN PUTTING ON THE BRAKE TO ACCELERATE MY CAR STARTED BEEPING, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND WOULDN'T LET ME TURN, AND POWER STEERING FLASHED ACROSS MY RADIO. I LET OFF THE GAS AND MY STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED BUT AS SOON AS I TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN SAME THING HAPPENED. I MISSED GOING OFF THE ROAD BY INCHES. I HAD THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AND APPARENTLY THIS CAR MODEL INTERMITTENTLY SENDS MORE VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED SO THE CAR DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND LOCKS THE STEERING. GARAGE THOUGHT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM AND A WEEK LATER SAME THING HAPPENED AND YET AGAIN I ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD. NEEDLESS TO SAY NOW I'M PETRIFIED TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR!! *TR
