Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleJan 16, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2010-2011 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver frontal air bag, the air bag inflator may explode due to being overpressurized.
If the inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments may strike the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
GM has notified owners, and dealers will replace the front driver air bag module, free of charge. The recall began February 25, 2019. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-522-9559. GM's number for this recall is N182206630.

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 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.

WHEN MY WIFE, TWO KIDS, AND MYSELF WERE DRIVING TO A FRIENDS HOUSE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PETS, OUR CHEVY MALIBU EXPERIENCED A SEVERE DROP IN POWER. WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN OUR CAR DROPPED TO 10 MILES PER HOUR AND WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING REAR ENDED DUE TO THE SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED. WHILE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I OBSERVED THE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WERE ON. ERROR MESSAGES DISPLAYED IN THE INFORMATION SCREEN TO "CHECK TRACTION CONTROL" AND "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". ALSO WHILE I WAS ON THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE, MY CAR WAS ATTEMPTING TO JERK FORWARD WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FULLY PRESSED. I HAD PLACED MY CAR IN PARK AND TURNED MY CAR OFF FEARING THAT AT ANY MOMENT THE CAR COULD TAKE OFF WITHOUT ME WANTING IT TO. AFTER WE WERE CALMED DOWN, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THEIR WAS NO MORE JERKING MOTION, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS NOT LIT, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I FEAR FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY WHILE IN OUR ONLY FAMILY CAR WITH THIS ISSUE CONSIDERING THE DRASTIC DROP IN POWER AND SPEED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

POWER STEERING HAS FAILED. WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 15 MILES PER HOUR POWER STEERING WARNING COMES UP AND ANTI-TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AT THAT POINT THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS TO THE LEFT AND HIT THE CURB. TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO TRY AND RESET. THIS PROCESS WORKS SOMETIMES BUT NOT RESET EVERY TIME YOU DO THIS WE HAVE TO DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES TO KEEP GOING.

DROVE CAR AROUND TOWN WITH NO PROBLEMS, CAME HOME, PUT CAR IN PARK ON LEVEL STREET AND LEFT IT RUNNING FOR 2 MINUTES, GOT BACK IN CAR PUT IN REVERSE AND NOTICED CAR SHIFTER WAS A LITTLE STIFF. IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING MY CAR IN THE GARAGE, GOING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE A COUPLE OF TIMES, I NOTICED IT TOOK QUITE A BIT OF STRENGTH TO GET SHIFTER TO MOVE FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER. I WENT IN THE HOUSE AND GOT ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS. I DID SEE THERE IS A GENERAL RECALL FROM GM FOR SEVERAL VEHICLES, MY YEAR AND MAKE INCLUDED. THE PROBLEM IS THE TABS ON THE SHIFT LINKAGE COME OFF AND NOT ONLY CAUSE THE SHIFTER TO BE REAL STIFF, BUT CAUSE THE LITTLE SILVER BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE SHIFTER TO STICK AND NOT COME BACK OUT AFTER PRESSED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE GEARS, CAUSES IS THE SHIFTER TO APPEAR TO BE IN "PARK" BUT IT REALLY ISN'T AND THE CAR ENDS UP ROLLING AFTER THE DRIVER LEAVES IT, PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING THEIR KEYS TO COME OUT OF THE IGNITION BECAUSE THE CAR WASN'T ACTUALLY IN PARK EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN THE PARK POSITION. I CALLED THE CHEVROLET DEALER IN WATSONVILLE, CA AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE MY CAR DOES HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT LINKAGE, BUT MY CAR WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST, AND EVEN THOUGH MY CAR ONLY HAS 18,100 MILES ON IT, IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS FIX. I THEN REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO GM WITH SENIOR ADVISOR [XXX], OPERATOR #[XXX], PLEASE REFER TO CASE #[XXX]. I FEEL MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SINCE IT WAS EXPERIENCING ONE OF THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND GET BACK TO ME. I WOULD LIKE A CONTACT PERSON I CAN WORK WITH ON THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO AVOID SAFETY PROBLEMS FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS.
