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.

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.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 and 2008-2009 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2006 Malibu Maxx, 2009-2010 HHR (non-turbo), 2010 Cobalt, 2008-2009 Saturn Aura and 2004-2007 Ion, and 2005-2009 Pontiac G6. 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 perform one of four bulletins. Parts are not currently available. GM expects to send an interim notification around May 28, 2014. When parts are available, owners will be mailed a second letter to come in to have the applicable bulletin applied. Bulletin 14115 covers model year 2004-2007 Saturn Ion, 2009-2010 Chevrolet HHR and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalts. Dealers will replace the EPS motor. Bulletin 14116 covers model year 2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, 2005-2006 Pontiac G6 and 2008-2009 Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura built from March 1, 2008, through June 27, 2008. Dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly. Bulletin 14117 covers model year 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura built from February 1, 2008, through February 28, 2008. Dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly and EPS motor controller unit. Bulletin 14118 covers model year 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura built from October 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008. Dealers will replace the EPS motor controller unit. The recall began on July 17, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, Saturn at 1-800-553-6000, and Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668. GM's number for this recall is N140115. Note: GM bulletin number 14119 will be implemented for model year 2006-2008 and early production of 2009 Chevrolet HHR (non-turbo) and model year 2003 Saturn ION to provide EPS Motor replacement for the life of the vehicle.

Power train, automatic transmission, gear position indication (prndl)Sep 18, 2012
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Saturn Aura and model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 vehicles, equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. On these vehicles, the tabs on the transmission shift cable end may fracture and separate.
If the tabs were to fracture and separate, the shift lever and the actual position of the transmission gear may not match. The driver would be able to move the shifter to 'PARK' and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear may not be in 'PARK.' The vehicle may not be able to be restarted and the vehicle could roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible crash without prior warning.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer over the cable end or replace the shift cable as necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. Notification to owners began on on November 9, 2012. Owners were instructed to not bring their vehicles for repair until January 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REALLY HARD TO STEER
Steering, Electronic stability control (ESC), Dec 27, 2019
OVER THE PAST WEEK, MY VEHICLE WAS SENDING ME A ESC SERVICE MESSAGE AND I NOTICED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN MY CAR IS TURNED ON. THE POWER STEERING TURNS ITSELF TO MANUAL STEERING MAKING IT HARD TO TURN. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF RESETTING IT TO MAKE THE POWER STEERING WORK AGAIN. WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE STEERING WHEEL IS PULSATING AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL GO INTO MANUAL STEERING. I BROUGHT IT DOWN TO MY MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME IT WAS A TORQUE SENSOR. HE THEN SAID HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN 2014 (BULLETIN 14116B.) THIS BULLETIN EXPLAINS THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS MY CAR IS HAVING. HE CALLED HURD CHEVY IN JOHNSON RI AND THEY TOLD HIM THERE WAS A RECALL. I THEN CALLED HURD AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE (DIAMOND CHEVY, AUBURN MA) AND SPOKE TO AN ADVISOR NAMED SEAN. HE TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THE SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED 3/25/19 AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THEN CONTACTED GM ON THEIR WEBSITE AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE SITUATION. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE PROBLEM IS, I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING NOTIFYING ME OF THIS RECALL. IT SOUNDS LIKE DIAMOND KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL BUT THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME OR FIX IT THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE FOR MAINTENANCE. NOW I'LL HAVE TO PAY OVER $500 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED. I HAVE PROVIDED BULLETIN 14116B AND THE PAPERWORK MY MECHANIC RESEARCHED AND GAVE ME.

WHILE DRIVING, I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD PULSE, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT. AFTER ABOUT 3 OR 4 DAYS, I LEFT WORK(12/17/19), AND "POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC" SHOWED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. SINCE THAT TIME, THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT. MOST TIMES IT GOES OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING.

TODAY I LOST POWER STEERING AGAIN (ALSO HAPPENED 2 TIMES ABOUT A MONTH AGO). I WAS DRIVING IN DOWNTOWN MADISON WI TODAY WHEN IT HAPPENED, VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. GM'S WEBSITE SAYS THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SOME 2009 MALIBUS IN 2014, BUT WHEN I JUST CALLED GM NOW THEY SAY MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BUT OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. BASED ON ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE WEBSITE, GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AGAIN! THIS TIME, ALL OF THEM.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS POPPED UP ON THE DASH 'POWER STEERING' 'SERVICE ESC OFF' 'BRAKE LIGHT' 'SERVICE AIR BAG' AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. TRYING TO GET THE CAR PULLED OVER TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT TO MY LEFT I WAS ALMOST T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE THE TURNING PROCESS WAS SO HARD. AFTER PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON IT GOES AWAY THEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS POP ON AGAIN. THIS TIME AFTER A FEW SECONDS EVERYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD GOES BLANK INCLUDING THE RADIO AND THEN THE CAR DIES OUT DRAINING THE CARS BATTERY COMPLETELY.

TCS, ABS, ESC, ETC INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING. ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING OCCASIONALLY STOPS WORKING, USUALLY WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKE LIGHTS SOMETIMES DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN PEDAL IS PRESSED. I ALSO REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE PASSENGER HEAD LIGHT THAT HAD SHORTED OUT AND MELTED.
