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 NOTIFICATION SOUND CAME ON UPON STARTING THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN AFTER THAT. IT WAS ASSESSED TO BE THE TORQUE SENSOR THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO TURN IF IT'S GOING SLOW AND CAN BE SHUT OFF AND TURNED ON AGAIN TO HELP BUT IT EVENTUALLY TURNS BACK ON AT ANY SPEED AFTER.

Steering, Dec 30, 2017
RECENTLY EXPERIENCED LOSS OF STEERING POWER IN MY VEHICLE MORE THAN ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH MY TEENAGE SON BEHIND THE WHEEL. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED TO CLEAR OUT THE WARNING ON THE RADIO DISPLAY. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALSO SHAKING/VIBRATING WHILE THE CAR IS SITTING IDLE. I DID AN ONLINE CHAT WITH CHEVY. OF COURSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I HAVE ~146,400 MILES ON MY CAR. JUST FOUND OUT THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF SPECIAL ASSIST IN PLACE. OF COURSE THAT OPTION EXPIRED FOR ME ON 9-1-2017. FROM WHAT I'M HEARING, THIS WILL BE A COSTLY REPAIR. THE REPAIR WILL PROBABLY COST MORE THAN WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. A CASE NUMBER WAS ASSIGNED TO ME. I HAVE AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS FROM THE DEALER IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF THERE'S ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE FOR THIS REPAIR. WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS IN PLACE, NOT SURE WHY GM IS NOT ALLOWING MALIBU OWNERS TO TAKE THEIR CARS TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR REPAIR AT NO COST TO THEM. AGE OF THE CAR SHOULD'T MATTER WITH AN OBVIOUS ONGOING PROBLEM.
