- Two Rivers, WI, USA

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.

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.
