I own a 2007chevy Malibu that apparently is not recalled. I have had on several occasions while turning the steering wheel locks up and the power steering message shows up. Luckily I have been in non-busy areas when this happens as I have to turn the car off and re start the car. Sometimes I have to do this several times. Sometimes the steering wheel will pull twitch the left by itself and is very loose. I have taken my car in several times to be looked at. I feel unsafe to drive my car in fact I will not drive it. I have two children that I would not put in that car. So I would like to know how I am supposed to get to work and take my children to school, sports, etc. When I do not have a safe car to drive, while GM tries to decide which cars they will fix. This is unacceptable. I feel compensation is needed for the inconveniences they have created.

The powersteering would inadvertently get stiff and the powersteering indicator light would come on to indicate an issue. Inquired of any recalls and GM and the dealership said there were none at the time scheduled the vehicle for repair on April 3, 2014 and since then GM has recalled many models for the powersteering issue except for the 2007 mailbu which I feel should be taken care of by GM since they know this is a defect in the powersteering. As of todays date my vehicle is not among the recall and it should be I should not have to pay for this repair GM should make this right.

- Rockford , IL, USA

Vehicle suddenly lost power steering, and "power steering" came up on the message center. I have read multiple on-line postings describing the same event that happened to me/this vehicle. It is a 4 cylinder with electric assist power steering. How is it that the 2007 model year escaped a recall from 2004-2006 and 2008-2009?

- Northampton, PA, USA

Intermittent electric power steering failures. The failures occurred at random, and always resulted in the electric power steering deactivating, a power steering warning message on the message center, and eventually the power steering system returning to operation. After attempting a repair, the power steering now tries to move the steering wheel to the left lock position. After contacting GM, I was informed that this was not a safety problem and since the vehicle has a branded title, the power steering cannot be repaired at no cost to me.

- Waldron, AR, USA

After parking car briefly, came out started it and steering hard, on center console was message for power steering. I looked for belts, thinking it had a pump and belt. It did not. Has electronic steering over hydraulics. Anyway turned key off and back on, steering was fine, this happened for a few days, some times you could cycle key once, others it could take multiple times. Also while sitting still and car running, steering wheel would jerk to left. I took car to local dealer for repairs. An electronic module had failed, causing progressive damage to steering column. Total cost$1199.90. Looking online, recalls were issued for 2004-2006, 2008 and 2009 models having same issue. The warranties on these unit were extended til 10 years 150,000 miles. I have called GM and they have yet to give me a verbal response. If safety is such a huge concern of theirs, and steering is a safety issue. They should admit they have an issue, include the 2007 models and correct it.

- Macclesfield, NC, USA

Wife driving in town when power steering information came up on the radio screen. Steering wheel started to violently jerk to the right. Then the power steering shut down and forced my wife to struggle with steering to get to a safe area parking lot. Vehicle was turned off. Upon re-ignition, power steering returned. Four incidents of similar occurrence since then. Wife won't drive car now. Very dangerous considering potential ramifications to causing crash. 75000 miles at start of problem. Why has this not been recalled. Can GM smell lawsuit should any family be injured due to this? they know of the problem but expect consumers to lay out over $1000 dollars to fix a problem caused by defective GM parts/vehicle. Liability is on GM.

- Bethany , OK, USA

Again, I file a complaint. I lost my power steering, a message was displayed to inform me of the loss. Steering was very difficult to maintain at manual steering.. at this time no recalls were made. On 3/31 a recall was made for Chevrolet Malibu models from 2004 and 2005, and some from 2006, 208 and 2009. Mine is a 2007 and is having the same problems. My auto has been unsafe to drive because of this steering problem. Why isn;T my automobile on the recall list. You corrected the problem for 1 year and then went back to a cheaper way "?????" what was done different to the 2007 models, that they didn;T appear in the recall. I have asked for the phone number of [xxx], GM's newly appointed vice president of global vehicle safety, no one will give me his number.

Upon entering freeway, steering wheel locked, causing stiffness. This has been happening more often now. While driving, steering wheel jerks to the left and to the right. Have to hold on tight in order to control. This is happening now on a daily basis. Called the Chevrolet dealer, and was informed no recall for this problem. I saw a recall dated 03/31/2014 for other Chevrolet cars with the same problem. Why were the 2007 Malibu not included? this is a very serious problem, we have an 8 month old baby that travels in this vehicle. Please add to recall.

- Ontario, CA, USA

I have reported to GM on three separate occasions that my power steering is faulty. It has come to my attention that the 2006 and 2008 models of this car were recently listed among the recall. I would also like to add that GM was not at all willing to disclose to me that I may report this problem to you to get this model included. Imagine that! I am wanting to inform you that factory defect exists with the 2007 model as well. I went and had tires put on my car last Saturday and asked the technician to see if anything was loose underneath, as it often felt that way while driving. He reported back, in writing, that my car's rack and pinion is not working correctly. I often encounter the power steering not working upon starting the car. I have found through reading on the internet that removing the key and restarting the car will reset the power steering. So far, this has worked. My fear is that it will eventually not reset or worse, loose power steering while driving. If my model is not being included due to lack of complaints, that is so wrong. I imagine they like me, do not know how to report it to you. It's not a lack of problem. The problem absolutely does exist with this model as well. Thank you.
