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.

WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON FRIDAY AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I ALMOST ENDED UP IN A FIELD, COULD NOT TURN IT. STOPPED AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL, AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVE. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED CAR UP AND IT HAD ITS WARNINGS ACROSS MY DASH AND THE STEERING WAS OUT AGAIN. I JUST PICKED IT UP FROM THE SHOP AND IT COST ME $1562.00 TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE STEERING ASSIST MOTOR, A NEW STEERING COLUMN(ELECTRIC) AND R&R STEERING COLUMN W/SGL SWITCH AND NEW TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. IT'S ALL CONNECTED. I HAVE YET TO FIND A RECALL FOR MY CAR ON MY VIN NUMBER BUT YET THERE WERE A FEW RECALLS ON MANY CARS INCLUDING MY 2009 MALIBU FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT YET I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL ABOUT IT. I HOPE THAT THEY INTEND ON DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED WHILE TRYING TO TAKE A CURVE AND HAD TO STRUGGLE JUST TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD IN THE OTHER PERSONS LANE UNTIL I COULD GET PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF THE WAY. FROM READING ALL THAT I HAVE READ ON HERE IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE ISSUE.

SAME ISSUE AS EVERYBODY ELSE. I LOSE STEERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE POWER STEERING. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND IM ANYBODY TO TURN THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD PARKED OR PRETTY MUCH AT ANYTIME. WHEN IT DOES WORK MY STEERING WHEEL JERKS. WHILE DRIVING IT JERKS AS WELL VERY SCARY STUFF. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE ESC AND POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON. THIS WAS SPECIAL TYPE OF RECALL WITH A EXP DATE? REALLY SO YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE DRIVING YOUR CAR FOR 5 YEARS? AFTER THAT WHO CARES IF THEY DIE HUH.

WHILE DRIVING MY POWER STEERING DISABLED AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR THEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WAS WORKING AGAIN. THEN IT CUT OFF AND LOCKED UP AGAIN.

VEHICLE HAS HAD POWER STEERING ASSIST QUIT TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE IN A TURN ON COUNTY ROADS. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING MID TURN. MOTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN.

THE SERVICE ESC LIGHT COMES ON AND THE LOW TRACTION LIGHT(CAR ICON) COMES ON AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. WHEN I START THE CAR THESE SENSORS COME ON AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. SOMETIMES I'LL START IT AND THE SENSORS ARE OFF THEN I HAVE POWER STEERING THEN I'LL START DRIVING AND SOMETHING TRIPS THOSE SENSORS TO COME ON AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS STARRED IN JANUARY 2020.
Steering, Feb 18, 2020
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY CHEVY MALIBU 2009, 2.4 LITER ENGINE. THE CAR CAN BE TURNED ON AND THE POWER STEERING WILL SHUT OFF AND I AM UNABLE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING. THE SENSOR WILL PICK UP AN ERROR AND IT WILL DISPLAY 'POWER STEERING' ON THE DASH. THEN I WILL TURN THE CAR OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WILL TURN BACK ON. TURNING WHEN THE POWER STEERING IS STILL WORKING CAUSES IT TO HAVE A WEIRD TWITCH OR JERK WHEN DRIVING WHERE IT MOVES THE STEERING WHEEL BY ITSELF WHEN TURNING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT. GM HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH MY EXACT MODEL BUT I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP ME AND THAT MY CAR WASN'T ON THE RECALL BULLETIN YET MY CAR IS THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR THAT ON THE BULLETIN HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT IS ALSO NOT ME, I SEE OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS 160,000 MILES ON IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE POWER STEERING IS ESSENTIAL TO DRIVER SAFETY. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME THE POWER STEERING DECIDES TO JUST SHUT ITSELF OFF.
Steering, Electronic stability control (ESC), Feb 14, 2020
MY VEHICLE HAS LOST STEERING AFTER STARTING SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK. MY INFO SCREEN DISPLAYS AN ESC AND POWER STEERING MESSAGE AND MY STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED IN PLACE. ONCE THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE MESSAGES GO AWAY AND STEERING IS BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE FOUND A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ON CERTAIN VEHICLES OF MY YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND ALSO MANY FORUMS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. HOWEVER, WHEN SEARCHING BY VIN IT SAYS MY VEHICLE HAS 0 RECALLS. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED WHEN MY VEHICLE IS STOPPED, OR IN PARK MY STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE FOR A MOMENT AND THEN STOP.
Steering, Service brakes, Feb 14, 2020
I WAS DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND STEERING GOT REAL HARD TO TURN AND NOW I HAVE NO STEERING POWER TO DRIVE AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE AND ALSO MY CAR BE IN REVERSE AND IT WENT FORWARD

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING EXACT SYMPTOMS AS OTHER VEHICLES IN THE SAME YEAR RANGE WITH THE EXACT ENGINE SIZE AND POWER TRAIN. I HAVE A 4 - CYL ECO TEC ENGINE AND I HAVE FOUND THAT GM RECALLED LOTS OF UNITS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM YET MINE IS NOT IN THE DATABASE. MY ELECTROINC STEERING SHUTS ON AND OFF ALL WINTER!
Steering, Feb 13, 2020
THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, AND I WAS IN DANGER OF CRASHING THE VEHICLE. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN TORQUE SENSOR, AND THAT GM HAD A MILLION CAR RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, THEY STATED THIS SAFETY CONCERN HAD AN EXPIRATION DATE AND FOR MY VEHICLE, IT EXPIRED MAY 2019. IT APPEARS TO BE HAVING EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS, WITH THE SAME DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES, AS THOSE RECALLED VEHICLES, AND YET GM WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS SAFETY MATTER. THIS CONDITION OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY, AND THEN ALL OF THE TIME. IT OCCURS WHEN IN REVERSE, AND FORWARD GEARS, WHEN TURNING AND WHEN TRAVELING STRAIGHT. IT OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS. AGAIN, THE GM MECHANICS STATE THE PROBLEM IS THE STEERING COLUMN TORQUE SENSOR.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND SERVICE ESC MESSAGE COMES ACROSS THE MESSAGE CENTER. TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT, POWER STEERING COMES BACK FOR A SECOND THEN THE LIGHT TRIPS AGAIN AND IT'S OUT AGAIN. I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND ALSO WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. IF I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND I LOOSING POWER STEERING, I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND HOPE THAT POWER STEERING TURNS BACK ON.
