While driving the car, the power steering in the car stopped working suddenly we had no control over the car. Luckily we avoided crashing the car. Appears that the electronic power steering torque sensor has failed.

I have a 2007 Malibu which I drive back and forth to work everyday on the highway. On wed. 2/26/14 I felt a pulsing vibration while driving on the highway. A short while later I lost the power steering completely which needless to say was very dangerous trying to get to the side of the highway in heavy traffic with no power steering. I had to have my car towed to my local mechanic who told me that the problem was in the electronic power steering system. The parts were ordered at a cost of $856.54 and the total cost with labor was $1272.07. I have since been on-line and read page after page of problems with the electronic power steering for this year Malibu. I see that they have now added the 2007 Malibu to the recall list but my VIN does not show up. Please advise.

Have had many instances in the last couple of weeks where when the car was turned on a message appeared about the power steering. When you shut the car off, the message would go away. Finally the message wouldn't go off with a restart and the power steering went out. We drove it slowly to a shop where the steering sensor was replaced.

- Topeka, KS, USA

Was driving down the interstate at 70 mph and lost complete power steering in the vehicle, making steering really tough, almost causing an accident. No warning just went out, "power steering" appeared on the information screen with one ding from the vehicle. I researched it and my vehicle is not involved in any of the power steering recalls, but had similar experience to the ones that have been recalled. Maybe they need to expand this recall before someone gets hurt or even killed.

In December, 2014, we purchased a 2007 Chevy Malibu for our teenage daughter. End of February 2015, when in park with the motor running, the power steering light came on and the steering wheel would not turn ( like it is locked up). Shut the vehicle off and restart and then power steering would work. Called GM due to finding numerous complaints and recalls on the Chevy Malibu regarding steering. I was told that my car, according to the VIN, was not under recall. GM agreed to pay for 1 hour of diagnostics.took car to a GM dealer to have two other uncompleted recalls on the Malibu taken care of. I noticed a clunking sound when turning into the dealership. A number of codes came up on the diagnostics relating to power steering and low voltage. Dealer said it would be a long shot but replacing the battery might fix the problem. I did not have the dealer replace the battery. Daughter drove the car a few days later and the car did the same thing numerous times (after starting the car the power steering light comes on and cannot turn the wheel). I will not let my daughter drive this car now as I am afraid the steering will lock up when driving. I drove the car the next day and when parked with the motor running the steering wheel would start turning by itself and make a growling sound. Our local mechanic witnessed the car's steering wheel turning back and forth when the car was idling and in park and no one touching the wheel. I have an appointment at the GM dealer this week for more diagnostics that GM says they will not pay for. GM did advise me to call in from the dealership once the problem is diagnosed and they may or may not reimburse me for part of the cost of repairs. I did replace the battery today and the steering wheel is still turning by itself when idling.

Friday while driving I noticed an issue with my steering it was harder to turn than usual and a felt like a vibration. Sunday while I was driving the steering went out it felt as though the steering wheel locked mid turn causing me to lose control of my vehicle nearly wrecking luckily there wasn't any other cars close by when I got home I researched the problem only to find that it's a very common issue and that 2007 Malibu is the only year not covered by the recall even though many owners are having this problem. Chevy knows that their power steering is faulty yet they refuse to help 2007 model owners. Had I of been driving on the highway or had I not been lucky enough to be the only car on that road at the time people could have been seriously hurt.
