2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

MY BODY CONTROL MODULE WENT OUT. I JUST PARKED ONE DAY AND WHEN I WENT BACK OUT TO START IT THE NEXT DAY IT WAS BROKEN. I LOVE MY MALIBU AND IT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A MONTH. I LOST MY JOB BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE A DISABLED HUSBAND AND TWO KIDS. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE BROKE BECAUSE OF THESE RECALLS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND AM BEGGING FOR YOUR HELP. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET MY CAR FIXED FOR FREE. TEXT OR CALL ME @ [XXX]. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT IN MY CAR. IT HAS THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS OTHER 2007 MALIBUS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED, AND IT IS EVEN THE SAME YEAR MODEL AS OTHER MALIBUS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. HOWEVER, MY CAR ISN'T A PART OF THE RECALL. I'D APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD LET ME KNOW WHY.

WHILE DRIVING, MY POWERS STEERING RANDOMLY TURNS OFF ANS IS NOT REESTABLISHED UNTIL THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK AMD RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. I HAD TO PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED FOR A FEW MILES THEN HAPPENED AGAIN. MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOW SHAKING AND PULLING TO ONE SIDE WITHOUT BEING TOUCHED. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, AS WELL AS WHEN I START THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WOULD MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO MUSCLE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE MORE THEN ONCE TO GET THE POWER STEERING TO RESPOND. THE DEALER BERGSTROM CHEVROLET BUICK GMC OF OSHKOSH (355 N WASHBURN ST #101, OSHKOSH, WI 54904 (800) 417-1384) STATED THAT THE ISSUE MAY BE WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING RANDOMLY GIVES OUT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL CAR AND MAKE TURNS. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES A LOT WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED. I CHECKED ONLINE AND MALIBU'S 2006-2007 HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED CHEVY SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR WITH MY VIN.

GAUGES WILL QUIT WORKING, LOW FUEL AND POWER STEERING POPS UP ON RADIO, THEFT DETERRENT LIGHT COMES ON, CRUISE CONTROL SHUTS OFF, SAYS ERROR ON ODOMETER. IT WILL DO IT WHEN DRIVING AND STATIONARY. ALSO WHEN IT DOES DO THIS YOU CAN FEEL THE ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY LOSE POWER

WHEN I AM GIVING MORE POWER FROM EXHALATION PADDLE. IT IS DEPLAYING ALL THE SIGN SYMBOLS WILL DISPLAYING ON SPEEDO METER DISPLAY AND ALSO MAINLY, ( IMPORTANT: WHEN I AM GIVING MORE EXHALATIONS MY STEERING HOLD AND SUDDENLY IT IS TAKING RIGHT SIDE CONTROL AND VERY HARD TO TURN ON UP HEAL. PLEASE ANY ONE HELP ME OUT FROM THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU

POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND SHAKES WHETHER THE POWER STEERING IS WORKING OR GOES OUT. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. HAVING SMALL CHILDREN MAKES THIS ISSUE EVEN MORE DANGEROUS AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL.

THE POWER STEERING WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT WORK WHEN YOU START THE CAR BUT IF YOU TURN IT OFF AND START IT UP AGAIN IT WILL WORK. I'LL OCCASIONALLY GET A BURNING SMELL THROUGH MY VENTS AND MY STEERING WHEEL WILL PERIODICALLY SHAKE AS WELL.. I RECENTLY BOUT NEW TIRES OVER THE SUMMER AND IT STOPPED HAPPENING SO I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT BUT AFTER WASHING MY CAR THE OTHER DAY IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN
