In April of 2015 while driving on the interstate surrounded by other vehicles the electric power steering sensor failed. The power steering warning flashed on the in dash information center and searing the vehicle was nearly impossible. I was fortunately able just avoid several collisions with other vehicles. The following day I brought the vehicle to the dealership to have the sensor replaced. This was not covered under any warranty or recall and I covered the cost of this. Less than two years later this same issue has occurred again. I was driving on back roads that turned in several directions. Going around one corner, following the speed limit the power steering failed. I was unable to control the vehicle and went into ditch on the opposite side of the road. Luckily there were no other vehicles involved. I contacted Chevy and was told that they will not to anything to correct the issue, refused to allow me to speak with anyone else and hung up on me. Their suggestion was to contact the dealership that replaced it to see if the would give me a discount for the defective part and claimed it was normal wear and tear. With an electric power steering there is minimal wear as to it is all electric components and they should not have malfunction after being replaced less than two years ago. This is an ongoing problem for this make, model and year and is a serious safety concern.

We bought my car from a police auction in sand springs. There was not really any paperwork, so we had nothing to go on, but what the auctioneer told us. We found out that the gas gage will not read any fuel it just stays on E, and that is $600 to fix, and then about 4 months now the power steering will just go out and you can not steer at all. If you are a man you can turn it, but if you are a woman or young teen there is no way you can make a corner, and you will get in an accident. You are unaware when it will just happened, but a bell in the car does start ringing, and reading power steering. This is very dangerous and it sounds just like recall number 14V153000, but my year is not on it. Please make it a recall for 2007 also. They told me that will cost $1,000 to fix the power steering. Really...if you can help in anyway I would appreciate it.

When driving earlier in the day 2/18 the steering wheel would wobble and vibrate when the car came to a stop or when I would turn the wheels. This happened just a few times - it was very subtle. Went to work and after sitting in parking lot for 5 hours I noticed the power steering message on the display board was lite when I started the car. There was no puddle under the car and I had an extremely difficult time in maneuvering my car as I was driving home. Searched online for an explanation and came across a recall notice. I did not receive any previous notification from the car manufacture.

Had recall work done and seen this was in it. And wasn't fixed.

As I was driving this evening on my way home the power steering shut off in my car. After the first time it happened I pulled over at a nearby restaurant and restarted my car but the power steering went out again within 5 min again after restarting the car. The steering wheel shakes on its on rapidly right after I start the car and it is idle...on the dash power steering comes up with a ding sound just as it is about to go out. I'm unsure if Chevy will cover to repair this free of cost but I think it should be fixed for free considering this is highly dangerous for both myself the operator of the vehicle as well as other drivers who are on the road!

When I turned the vehicle on a message comes up on the dash that says "power steering" and I have a sudden loss of power steering. The vehicle was stationary at the time however the power steering could go out while in motion. It is the exact description of campaign recall number 15V064000 however there are zero recalls associated with my VIN number.

- Milwaukee, WI, USA

Power steering randomly and frequently stops working; starts working again (usually) after restarting the car, which is not always easy or safe while driving on the highway. Happened 4 times on the way to work today; has been happening occasionally in the past but is dangerously frequent now. I understand this is common among 2007 Chevy Malibu's, but my VIN was not on the recall list...

This is issue has been happening since late December and has progressively gotten worse! while driving (whether on highway at 60+ mph or in town doing under 40mph), power steering will go out multiple times; along with fuel gage will consistently show empty. Also while driving the airbag indication light will go from airbag on to air bag off several times. The only thing that remedies the power steering going out is to turn the car off and then back on, sometimes more than once.

The power steering assist randomly fails. There is a safety recall for this, #14772, and I called the manufacturer at the number listed, 1-800-222-1020, and they advised me my VIN was not covered! yet, the vehicle exhibits that exact symptoms of #14772. Several times this has occurred while driving and it nearly caused me to have two different head on collisions! I was driving at 30 mph and the power steering quit and jerked to the left. It made me cross the lane into oncoming traffic. The other drivers abruptly stopped while I got my car back under control. The only way to get it back was to turn off the ignition and turn it back on. I have been told that the total repair cost is over $1200! I cannot afford this. I can not stop driving my vehicle either. This should be covered under the recall at their expense as it is their faulty product. Unfortunately, I do have to keep driving close to an hour to get to work through heavy dallas traffic and by them denying the repairs, they are putting a lot of people at risk of serious injury or even death. Please have them honor the recall for my VIN so we can all be safer out there. Thank you.
