2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

I PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU IN 11/2009. A FEW MONTHS OF ME OWNING IT, THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED ACTING UP. IT WOULD REGISTER THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK AND THEN IT WOULD STATE I WAS ON EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I HAD FUEL IN IT. IT HAS NOW STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT IS A DEALER ITEM TO REPLACE IT AND THE COST WOULD BE RATHER EXPENSIVE. I AM A SINGLE FATHER RAISING A 2 YEAR OLD CHILD AND I CAN NOT AFFORD THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IT WOULD TAKE TO REPLACE THIS DEALER ITEM. I AM RELYING ON MILEAGE TO DETERMINE WHEN TO REFUEL AT THIS POINT IN TIME. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS THE BEST METHOD HOWEVER I AM DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY MALIBU LS AND EVERY TIME I GET GAS THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOLLOWS, EVENTUALLY THE GAS GAUGE GOES BACK UP, BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS NOW. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING *TGW

WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO TURN LEFT AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT HAS AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT RESET THE STEERING AND THE MESSAGE WAS REMOVED FROM THE DISPLAY. IT HAS OCCURED 15 TIMES NOW. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY MALIBU I HAVE BEEN HAVING STEERING FAILURE. RESEARCH SHOWS RECALL ON LATER MODELS FOR SAME ISSUE BUT NOT 2007. THE STEERING WILL COMPLETELY FAIL WITHOUT NOTICE. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN AND GM SAYS NO COMPLAINTS OF MY PROBLEM. THEY WILL INVESTIGATE BUT FROM ALL RESEARCH I HAVE DONE GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I GUESS WHEN A DEATH OCCURS THEY MAY DO SOMETHING THEN. WHO KNOWS I THINK THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE STEERING HAS MADE A POPPING NOISE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND NOW THIS. AFTER STEERING FAILS THERE IS A BELL THAT DINGS 3 TIMES AND THEN IT FLASHES ON RADIO SCREEN POWER STEERING. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 MALIBU AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL DROP TO EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I KNOW GAS IS IN THE CAR. THEN IT WILL SLOWLY CLIMB BACK UP AND THEN DROP AGAIN. *TR

2007 MALIBU HAS AN ELECTRIC MOTOR FOR THE POWER STEERING. THE CHEVROLET DEALER/REPAIR DEPARTMENT SAY THE ELECTRIC MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST AROUND $700.00. FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN AND READ IT DOES NOT APPEAR MY SITUATION IS AN ISOLATED ONE. WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING IS HARD AND THERE IS A LOT OF CLUNKING NOISE. THE STEERING MAKES THE NOISE AND STEERS HARD ALL THE TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE TO THE LEFT BUT NOT TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 73,000.

THE POWER STEERING FAILED, I WAS ADVISED BY DEALERSHIP THAT THE REPAIRS ARE $864.00 I WAS ADVISE THE POWER STEERING IS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU, WHEN TURNING LEFT I AM EXPERIENCING A LOUD POP SOUND AND AFTER READING SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME SORT OF ISSUE, POSSIBLE LOSS OFF POWER STEERING AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF CAR, INTERMEDIATE STEERING LINKAGE ISSUE. THIS IS NOT GOOD. HAS GM SENT OUT A RECALL ON THE TROUBLE? IF NOT THEY SHOULD. *TR
