Malibu 4-cyl

There are five recalls on my vehicle and was told that I would be notified when parts came in. At this point there were only 2 recalls and now there are 5. I have yet to receive any recall letters on my vehicle. In the case that no one knows what the recalls are here they are: NHTSA campaign number: 14E044000, 14V252000, 14V22400, 14V153000, 12V460000, 14V153, 12V460. These are the numbers that I have found on recall websites. I found out about the recalls from the news. I have never received any letters in regard to these recalls. When will something be done? I am scared to drive my car and I need my car. Please respond to me in a timely matter this is the 9th time I have tried to get information on when my car will be fixed.

Malibu

  • 67,000 miles
Steering wheel shakes intermittently throughout each day for approximately the past 50 days as of May 20, 2011. Sometimes occurs when car is initially turned on (shakes quickly to the left and right as if a little child was playing with the steering wheel). Shaking will also take place spontaneously while driving at various speeds. On May 10, 2011 passenger side power locks began to malfunction-would not lock or open when using power button inside car or using remote. Locking and unlocking had to be done manually by pulling up or pushing down lock.
