Steering, electric power assist systemFeb 4, 2015
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving.
If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The recall began February 24, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006.

Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain replacement intermediate steering shafts sold under the Dorman, OE Solutions, and Solutions brand names, part numbers 425-167, 2425167, and 7-3074, for installation on 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, and 2007-2009 Saturn Aura vehicles. The affected steering shafts may have a yoke that inadequately supports the u-joint bearing resulting in a premature failure.
A joint bearing that fails prematurely may cause separation of the u-joint resulting in a complete loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dorman will notify owners, and dealers will refund the purchase price or replace the steering shafts, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492.

Electrical system, wiringMay 14, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features.
Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will attach the wiring harness to the BCM with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the BCM and harness connector and the BAS and harness connector, and will relearn the brake pedal home position, free of charge. The manufacturer distributed an Interim letter to customers on July 14, 2014. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-762-2737 (Pontiac), 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn). GM's number for this recall is 13036.

Power train, automatic transmissionApr 30, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on April 29, 2014, that they are recalling 56,214 model year 2007 and 2008 Saturn Aura vehicles. On May 22, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 1,074,899 model year 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured from May 16, 2003, through October 5, 2007, model year 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured from June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, and model year 2005-2008 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured from May 26, 2004, through September 28, 2007, and equipped with 4-speed transmissions. The total number vehicles being recalled is now 1,131,113.
If the transmission shift cable fractures while the vehicle is being driven, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, despite selecting the PARK position, the transmission may not be in PARK. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
GM will notify owners, and GM dealers will replace the shift cable assembly and mounting bracket, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for this recall is 14152.

A SQUEAKING SOUND IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WHENEVER I AM SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE SEAT SQUEAKS WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. UPON EXAMINATION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SEAT FRAME WAS BROKEN AT THE POINT WHERE THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ANCHORS TO THE SEAT FRAME. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET MALIBUS, PONTIAC G6 AND SATURN AURA MODELS: HTTP://WWW.CHEVYMALIBUFORUM.COM/FORUMS/PRINTTHREAD.PHP?T=26433&PP=40.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE CAR THAT THE EPS MOTOR CONTROLLER MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY LOSE EPS. MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THIS. THE RECALL IS ONLY GOOD FOR CARS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD OR LESS THAN 150,000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. MY CAR IS ABOVE THE 150,000 MILES BECAUSE IT WAS DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS LONG DISTANCES ON THE HIGHWAY. SO MY STEERING IS FAILING, BUT GM WILL NOT REPAIR IT UNDER THE RECALL AND I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR. HOW IS THAT FAIR?

THE FUEL PUMP SENSOR HAS GONE BAD TWICE IN 4 YEARS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT BOTH TIMES. WHEN IT GOES OUT, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON WHENEVER THE TANK IS FULL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL THE TANK IS EMPTY.

RANDOMLY EVERY NOW AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MOVE BACK AND FORTH ON IT'S ON WHEN SITTING IN PARK. WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL WILL START TO MOVE AS WELL AND START JERKING TO ONE SIDE CAUSING YOU TO SWERVE BACK AND FORTH A LITTLE WHILE YOU FIGHT IT. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH, THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS OF THIS MODEL AS WELL IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET. AS WELL AS A YOUTUBE VIDEO WHICH THE SAME THING CAN BE SEEN ON A 2008 MALIBU AT HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=PX6UEGWMVBI
Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 22, 2015
MY FUEL GAUGE GOES UP AND DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES. THE GAUGE GOES DOWN WHEN IDLING OR AT A STOP. THIS IN TURN CAUSES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON. WHILE THE GAS GAUGE WILL GO BACK TO ITS NORMAL POSITION AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE GAS CAP, BUT AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A FAULTY LEVEL SENSOR. AS IT'S A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY CHEVY MALIBU'S, I DON'T KNOW HOW THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL YET. GOOD THING I DON'T HAVE TO GET MY CAR TESTED UNTIL 2017 OR I WOULD NOT PASS EMISSIONS DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON.

I HAD JUST CRANKED, BACKED OUT OF CARPORT, STILL IN MY DRIVEWAY. STEERING WHEEL NOT TURNING SMOOTHLY. WAS CATCHING AS WHEN SOMETHING MOVES FROM ONE NOTCH TO ANOTHER. DROVE SLOWLY ONE STREET AND ABORTED MY PLANNED DRIVE DOWN INTERSTATE, AFRAID OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE STEERING. DROVE SLOWLY 3 MILES TO GM DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT., NOTICING PROBLEM ONCE EN ROUTE. THE SHOP DID SOME TEST. SERV. MGR. SAID HE BELIEVED WHAT I SAID BUT THEIR TESTING SHOWED NOTHING AT THE TIME ... THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN ON MY CAR: SPECIAL POLICY 15356 GOOD THRU 4-3-2017 AND 150,000 MILES. HE WROTE THAT DOWN FOR ME IN CASE I NEEDED IT LATER ... SAID I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT STEERING GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, THAT SOME MESSAGES WOULD APPEAR IF ANY PROBLEM. SEARCHED ONLINE AT HOME, AS I HAD RECEIVED NOTHING FROM GM ON THIS PROBLEM AND FEEL UNSAFE IN MY CAR. SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS AND THAT GM AND SAFETY BOARD IS DOING NOTHING. TODAY, 9-17-2015, I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM GM.ON THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, HAVING EXPERIENCED IT 9-14-2015, BUT SERVICE DEPT. DID NOT SAY THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING SINCE THEIR TEST SHOWED NOTHING. THE LETTER SAYS IF THE CONDITION OCCURS, THE CONDITION WILL BE REPAIRED FOR ME AT NO CHARGE. DOES SOME MAJOR INCIDENT HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE REPAIRS CAN BE DONE? OR THOSE MESSAGES HAVE TO APPEAR WHILE AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT? IT SHOULD BE FIXED NOW SO THAT I CAN DRIVE WITHOUT BEING SUBJECTED TO ADDITIONAL CHANCE OF ACCIDENT DUE TO THE STEERING.
