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.

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.

Steering, Apr 2, 2018
ONLY 90,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND JUST A FEW DAYS AGO THE POWER STEERING WOULD FAIL WHEN STARTING UP THE CAR AND I GET WARNINGS AND CHIMES SAYING POWER STEERING THEN ESC NOW DISABLED. THIS PROBLEM WOULD CORRECT ITSELF IF I TURNED OFF THE CAR THEN TURNED BACK ON AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER THAT NO LONGER WORKED TO GET THE POWER STEERING TO WORK/ACTIVATE. NOW I HAVE TO APPLY SLIGHT TURNING FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE STARTING THE CAR TO GET IT TO WORK. BUT NOW I HAVE A NEW ISSUE TO THIS PROBLEM AS OF TODAY THE POWER STEERING FAILS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I WAS CHANGING LANES AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY STIFF AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT COMPLETE MY LANE CHANGE. IM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. I KEEP GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE IT MAINTENENCED WELL. ITS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THIS IS THE ONLY THING WRONG. I TRIED CALLING GM TO ASK IF THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE BECAUSE I FIND EVERYWHERE ONLINE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY YEAR AND MAKE BUT GM ON THE PHONE SAID MY VIN HAS NO RECALL AND IM STUCK TO PAY FULL BILL TO FIX AND IS NOT A DEFECT OR GM PROBLEM. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS MY PROBLEM AND IS A DEFECT. I FEEL GM SHOULD FIX THIS. MY CAR STILL HAS 2 YEARS LEFT ON BANK LOAN TO PAY OFF. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I ALSO STRONGLY FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFTEY ISSUE AS THIS CAN RESULT IN MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. I DO NOT HAVE STRONG ARMS AND I CANNOT OPERATE MANUAL STEERING TO AVOID CRASH IF LOSS OF POWER STEERING ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED OR EVEN IN CITY AT SLOW SPEED.

SOMETIMES IF I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IT WILL CORRECT ITSELF. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE WASN'T ON THE RECALL. MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE COME IN FOR THIS ISSUE AND MY TYPE OF VEHICLE. I WILL START THE CAR AND IT WILL FLASH POWRT STEERING ESC. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!
