Interment loss of power steering problem started about 2 weeks ago. My mother is selling me the car and we got it checked out. I looked into Chevy recalls and it states a recall on 06-08 Malibu's for a torque sensor assembly and that I needed to call Chevy. I contacted Chevy on 05/29/2020 and spoke with a representative that stated I would have to pay for parts and labor to get the electrical power steering fixed. Decided to call my local Chevy dealership and was pretty much told 'well that recall expired in 2016' regardless of expiration date the part has gone out in my car and is continuing to do so. I agreed to get the diagnostics test ran at a Chevy dealership but was basically told they would do nothing regardless of what code came about. Regardless of expiration year on a recall if something is faulty because of the manufacturer placed faulty parts and won't take responsibility now that it needs fixed.

Electric power steering suddenly stop working while driving, it comes back to normal when I restart the vehicle. This power steering loss happens randomly few timesa week to once every week or two. I research the vehicle recall history and found out that there was a recall for my car year, model and type, the issue is Chevy wont cover my car recall since its manufactured date is just outside their specified date for recall. I would argue that the recall should cover my car since it fells under recall year, model and type, im almost certain it uses the same part which created the problem.

I have a power steering issue presumably related to the torque sensor assembly I believe GM should be opting to remedy by way of a recall/repair at their cost they claim doesn't apply to my specific vehicle - 2007 Chevrolet Malibu. I contacted GM a year ago at 134,000 miles to inquire about this issue and was then informed I am "just outside" the range being covered. The issue went away shortly thereafter but has resurfaced. Moreover, they apparently were covering this problem on 2007 year models at some point according to this article: Https://www.cars.com/articles/recall-alert-2006-2007-Chevrolet-Malibu-and-Malibu-maxx-Pontiac-G6-1420668845347/ my issue is presenting the same way as hundreds of other owners of the same make/model/generation have described. A google search and ten minutes of reading yield a plethora of results attesting to this. I do understand my vehicle is older and things do go wrong with older cars and that's just how it goes, but I don't believe I should have to take the hit on this when GM knows it's so widespread across multiple makes and models. As it stands, my power steering will work for the first two or three minutes of driving if I turn the wheel as I'm turning the ignition over, but will stop working and throw a "power steering" alert on the radio at that time. If I leave the wheel straight and start the car, it doesn't work from the outset. These factors are also similar to what owners of "covered" vehicles have described. I'm sure I'm not the only barely-not-covered owner who ought to be covered and am hoping one more voice (as I can't be the only person in this situation to file a complaint) will help bring some relief for owners such as myself in this mess.

The electric power steering has gone out in my car. It has the exact same symptoms as other 2007 Malibu that have been recalled, and it is even the same year model as other Malibu that have been recalled. However, my car isn't a part of the recall. I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know why.

Power steering shuts off intermittently. The steering wheel jerks from side to side and shakes whether the power steering is working or goes out. This creates a dangerous situation while driving. This happens every time I drive the vehicle. Having small children makes this issue even more dangerous and it is not covered under a recall.

The power steering will occasionally not work when you start the car but if you turn it off and start it up again it will work. I'll occasionally get a burning smell through my vents and my steering wheel will periodically shake as well.. I recently bout new tires over the summer and it stopped happening so I thought nothing of it but after washing my car the other day it started doing it again
