I was driving on the highway and my car steering wheel became really tight and caused my car to drift in the right lane. The steering wheel locked up and became really stiff to turn. It has a faint burnt smell. I can not risk the chance of the car catching on fire with me and /or the kids in the car. I had to move into the shoulder on the highway I was about side swipe the car that was in the right lane beside me. I had minor children in the car when it first happned. I did look up recalls and talked to several GM customer service and was informed the car did have a recall but it has expired since then. If I would have known about the recall i would have never brought this used car. When I brought the car from the auction they informed it was no electric probelms with the car but it is. Also killed me and my kids the way the wheel just locked and didnt move. A customer service rep said she would give me a $100 coupon off services. But I honestly I do not have the extra money to take the car to a delaership and get fixed. I know that will cost me almost $1000. There were no warning lights signal anythignto indicate it has an electric power steering problem. Can you as a company find it in the value and core components of the company moral values and help Assist with this expired recall on the power steering

While driving on the highway using the cruise control, the cruise control suddenly went off and the check engine light came on. I took it to the mechanic and he said the transmission cylinder was off, I bought the car used and researched recalls on this car through the safecar.com website and saw a transmission related recall (recall number 14152). I called the associated GM recall center told them my issue and gave them the recall number. The representative pulled up the recall description for recall number 14152 and the consequences listed in the GM directory were not the same language as the consequences on safecar.gov. She couldn't explain why the description was not the same in the GM directory as the government safecar website and I found that disturbing. So that is my first complaint--the GM system and national website are not in accordance. Secondly, my cruise control stopped working suddenly and the transmission cylinder in my car is off, under my VIN the car had the transmission recall fixed in 2015 by the previous owner. 3 years later and there is another problem with the transmission. I would like to submit that if this is a problem for multiple people a transmission recall be done on the "fix" and that cost of fixups be restituted by GM. Have other "fixed" Malibu recalls been an issue? thank you.

The vehicle was in motion, city street, turning. The steering wheel wpuld turn the opposite way that I had to turn. The steering wheel would also lock in the opposite direction which almost caused me to crash into the wall. When I pulled off to the side tge steering wheel would shake and turn by itself. I just discovered that there is 9 recall notices from 06/27/2014 to 02/23/2015. The dealership has not owned up to these recalls. Due to multiple of these recalls my two children (ages [xxx] and [xxx]), my husband, and my life (pregnant) could have been lost due to an almost vehicle collision due to these recalls. 06/27/2014 recall for train:automatic transmission. 06/27/2014 recall for power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:floor shift. 08/18/2014 recall for service brakes, hydraulic:switches:brake light. 08/18/2014 recall electrical system:wiring. 08/18/2014 recall exterior lighting:brake lights. 08/18/2014 recall vehicle speed control:cruise control. 08/18/2014 recall electronic stability control. 09/08/2014 recal for steering. 02/23/2015 recal for steering:electric power assist system.

A notification sound came on upon starting the car and the steering wheel became extremely hard to turn after that. It was assessed to be the torque sensor that caused the problem. The vehicle is hard to turn if it's going slow and can be shut off and turned on again to help but it eventually turns back on at any speed after.

2007 Chevy Malibu electrical hell my car was completely fine aside from the power steering recall that was fixed on it. Then about 4 months later my car cranks but doesn't start! I was driving it 20 mins prior and then this happens. The radio, the lights, the horn and the dinging with the door open, all still worked. Unsuccessfully trying to start it I left it alone to get towed. 5 days later I received my car back saying it started just fine they can't detect what's wrong with it, because they couldn't read the code it gave out, and to keep notes of weird things to bring it back in. In doing so my car was fine for a month and a half, they're were no issues. The next time my car did the crank and no start I noticed the security icon lighting up, as well as the fact that I left my radio and air on. It's late at night, I'm alone and my car is failing me, after trying for 15 minutes I got my car to start. The third time is the worst time, by this point it's about 2 weeks after the 2nd incident. Same scenario, just drove it 20 mins prior and it was fine, then another crank no start for hours. Even tried to leave my key in to ignition. After hours I got it to start and making it home the car slowed down and came to a complete halt in the middle of an extremely busy street, putting on my brake lights I avoided getting rear ended. I took the key out and restarted the car and it started somehow. After getting it home I haven't driven it since and a number of more issues started happening. My locks have now started to make an obnoxious buzzing noise when getting unlocked, the service air bag notification will light-up on the dash and disappear quickly, all icons light up on dashboard, security icon flashes, check engine light is on, car will not start on crank, radio fades out and comes back on, horn is a faint noise. Reading similar complaints this is an outrage.

I intermittently lose power steering, now it is happening every time I drive the vehicle and it is not safe. The wheel begins to take over for its self, so to speak. The wheel will shake some times aggressively enough to be pulling me whichever way it pleases. It even does this at an idle, the VIN is pulling up no recall but the articles on this subject say it is included in the expansion of the recall. I just bought the vehicle Sept 24, 2016

2007 Malibu lt just shut off at traffic intersection, engine turns over but refuses to start. Then it started up after a few minutes like there was never a problem. There are no fault codes, no warnings, nothing to suggest anti-theft. What is causing this"??!!! this has happened to me and my daughter dozens of times in the last 5 years. I've searched online and there are way too many unhappy people with same exact problem! has there been a recall yet on this obvious defect" my 17 yr old daughter has to drive this car and it has quit on her in traffic several times and I am afraid it's going to happen to her and cause an accident. If she gets injured, or worse because Chevrolet refuses to recall and fix this defect there will be a lawsuit and a big one!

Bought this car from a Nissan dealer as a used car in June 2012, it is the lt ve model. The problem is: While turning left with acceleration the steering wheel jerks right, at times it can be jerked out of the hands (depends on acceleration speed), also a clunking noise from left front wheel at times (with or without engine running). Sometimes while driving at 55 mph or better, taking a left handed curve, steering will become stiff and hard to turn. This has not caused any accidents yet but it could in the future resulting in serious injuries or death.

The fuel gauge will randomly go to empty turning on the low fuel light this also caused the check engine light to come on it will go up and down all the time every few minutes when driving no matter what the speed or type of driving conditions it is believed to be a fuel sensor and interference with a vent tube.
