As I was driving, my steering wheel locked up and was hard to turn causing me to almost crash. The ESC light and power steering light came on. The steering wheel is nearly impossible to turn. The car has 100K miles and is a 2009 Chevy Malibu. This is not part of a recall that is extended to my car but I am aware that many many others are having the same issue with the same car since 2015! thank you.

My steering wheel aggressively shakes when I'm in park, at slow speeds and at higher speeds. The 'ESC off' displays on the dash and I lose power steering. This use to happen rarely, but now it is almost every time I start my vehicle. Even when I'm able to start the vehicle without this warning displaying, it is still very difficult to control the vehicle at any speed due to the shaking. This started 3 years ago and has gotten progressively worse since.

2014 I was told the car had the recall fixed, I did T purchased the car until three years which was 2017, now it's 2021 the same issues that the recall needed I need fix and Chevy said they can't fix it I need to know what to do because I've only had the car for about 4-5 years and now apparently the same issues is reoccurring

Driving on interstate a light comes on dash saying service ESC power steering and then ESC off. The power steering goes and can barely turn the wheel enough to get off. Going 60 mph and scrape the retention wall. No warning at all just stopped. This is insane.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

Out of no where my power steering is gone and 'service ESC' displays on my dash while I'm stationary as well as in motion and turning.

- Manistee, MI, USA

Driving down the highway and hear a beeping noise then a light comes on dash saying service ESC power steering and then ESC off. The power steering goes off and I can hardly handle turning the wheel. I got it turned around and took the vehicle back home then looked online and found that this has been an issue for this model vehicle for awhile now and that there has been a recall issued but my VIN is not listed for this recall. Obviously it needs to be added.

I'm having power steering issues and the dealer told me that the recall parts have expired! I'm very upset because they are trying to charge me 2,700 out of my pockets because they don't want to do the work for free. These parts that they need are recall parts!!

- Luebbering, MO, USA

The power steering goes out on my vehicle a lot. It is not safe and it says there's no recalls on this vehicle. It locks up all of a sudden. When I'm driving down the highway and/or interstate. Also, when I make a turn. It is not safe at all and from the looks of it, I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. There needs to be an investigation and recall on these vehicles.

- Newton, MS, USA

Power steering flashes on dash board and I lose complete control. I then have to use my strength to turn the wheel while the vehicle slows down. Sometimes this goes away and it drives fine. I've experienced it shutting down while going down the high way and this cannot be safe! after researching recalls, it appears I am experiencing the details of the recall for the torque sensor. The vehicle is below 150,000 miles. It also randomly will flash 'service air bag'.
