My power steering has gone out 2X now in less than a year of having the vehicle

- Tulsa, OK, USA

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact parked on the side of the roadway. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to her residence. The vehicle was next towed to an independent mechanic who associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 14V153000 (steering). The vehicle was towed to the local dealer vandevere Chevrolet (1490 vernon odom blvd, akron, oh 44320, (330) 800-0230) where the contact was informed that the recall had expired on the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

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

- Kansas City, MO, USA

- Greenwood, SC, USA

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!!

The zero positioning sensor went out. I do not have powersteering!!!! it is very difficult to drive. It is a recall but not for my VIN. It should be! it is very dangerous. It was in motion when it went out.

- 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'.

- Jamestown, NY, USA

My power steering wheel has been replaced once then not less than a year my power steering wheel goes out again. My brake lights are also on and never turn off. It's scary because no one knows when I'm actually braking.

- Chicago, IL, USA

Loss of power steering while driving but if you turn the car off and turn it back on it corrects the problem. This seems to be happening more frequently in cold wheather. ESC service light and ABS light comes on when this happens. This is very dangerous since it only happens while the car is in drive. Power steering seems to lock on when the wheel is turning. This has been an ongoing problem for us since we bought the vehicle in September of 2020.

- Nashville, IN, USA

While making a right turn, the power steering went out, the traction control light came on, and service ESC message was displayed. Luckily no one was in the lane beside my wife because it happened without warning and the car was nearly impossible to steer. She managed to pull into a shopping center parking lot, turned the car off and called for a tow. When the tow driver arrived and turned on the vehicle, warning lights had disappeared, and power steering was ok. I still had the vehicle towed and am awaiting diagnostics. I bought the vehicle used, and have only had it for 2 weeks. When researching the issue, it appears to be a common issue in the 2009 Malibu. Wondering why the issue has not been addressed before now as it is just a matter of time before an accident occurs.
