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.

THE MALIBU STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHILE RUNNING WHILE STOPPED AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING LOCKS UP AND STOPS ALLOWING ME TO TURN, THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T TURN.

POWER STEERING FAILED DURING LOW SPEED LEFT TURN, POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET. CAR HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES.
Service brakes, Oct 29, 2020
I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THROUGHOUT 2020 WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT DEPRESSION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. CRUISE CONTROL WILL ALSO NOT FUNCTION WHEN THIS MALFUNCTION IS OCCURRING. I AM CONVINCED THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT PROMPTED A RECALL BACK IN 2014. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED THROUGH THE RECALL CAMPAIGN, HOWEVER, I'M CONVINCED THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT POSES A SAFETY RISK AND RAISES THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEONE REAR-ENDING ME IF MY BRAKE LIGHTS AREN'T OPERATING AS THEY SHOULD. IN MY ATTACHED PHOTO, YOU WILL SEE THE BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. SIMPLY SHAKING IT OR PUSHING IT IN AND OUT SEEMS TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY.

OUR 2007 CHEVY MALIBU LS HAS 83,000 MILES ON IT. WE BOUGHT IT NEW AT RED WING CHEVROLET IN 2007. 82,000 MILES WERE PUT ON IT THE FIRST THREE YEARS WE OWNED IT. THE REST WERE WHEN WE ONLY DROVE IT IN THE SUMMER TIME TO SPECIAL OCCASIONS. LATELY WE HAVE BEEN NOTICING THAT THE STEERING JERKS ONCE IN A WHILE. TODAY THE WARNING "POWER STEERING" CAME ON THE DISPLAY. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WAS ONLY VIN SPECIFIC, AND OUR CAR WASN'T ONE OF THEM!! HELLO, WE HAVE A 2007 MALIBU AND IT DOES HAVE THAT PROBLEM!! THERE SHOULD BE A LEGAL OBLIGATION FOR THEM TO COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR.

Air bags, Seats, Jul 7, 2020
I USED TO GET A WARNING TO "SERVICE AIRBAGS" ON THE STEREO DISPLAY, AND A CHIME, TYPICALLY WHEN I FIRST STARTED UP THE CAR. THIS STARTED WHEN I WAS LIVING IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. I DROVE WITH MY BACKPACK ON THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND OCCASIONALLY THAT SEAT WOULD CHIME FOR PASSENGER TO BUCKLE UP. THE SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE WOULD STAY UP FOR ABOUT 5 MILES OF DRIVING, THEN WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE AGAIN. FINALLY CAUGHT IT IN THE ACT, GOT IT TO A DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THEIR DIAGNOSTIC CAME UP WITH A PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR WAS FAILING/HAD FAILED. THE ONLY REMEDY OFFERED WAS TO CLEAR THE COMPUTER, OR CONSIDER A BRAND NEW PASSENGER SEAT (WHICH AT THAT TIME EXCEEDED THE ESTIMATED BLUE BOOK VALUE). CLEARING THE COMPUTER OF THAT TROUBLE CODE LASTED ABOUT A WEEK. COULDN'T OFFER MORE INFO SUCH AS IF THE AIRBAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY IF NEEDED, OR IF IT WAS LIKE A JACK-IN-THE-BOX AND MIGHT TRIP UNNECESSARILY. THAT WAS ALMOST 5 YEARS AGO, THIS SUMMER IT STOPPED ADVISING ME OF THE NEED FOR SERVICE. I'M NOT SURE IF THE SENSOR FINALLY GAVE OUT, OR IF SOME COMPONENT(S) WERE DAMAGED IN A COLLISION THAT RIPPED OFF THE BUMPER THIS WINTER.

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.
