general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

Loss of power streering. Driving on the freeway and the power steering stopped working. Got off the freeway and used back roads to get home safely. Looking up recalls, I wondered why my vehicle is not on it. Even though it was the same year for the recall issued for chev Malibu with the same thing happening with the power steering going out.

Our 2007 chevy Malibu LS has 83,000 miles on it. We bought it new at red wing Chevrolet in 2007. 82,000 miles were put on it the first three years we owned it. The rest were when we only drove it in the summer time to special occasions. Lately we have been noticing that the steering jerks once in a while. Today the warning "power steering" came on the display. I called gm and they said that there was a recall that was only VIN specific, and our car wasn't one of them!! hello, we have a 2007 Malibu and it does have that problem!! there should be a legal obligation for them to cover the cost of this repair.

I have a 2007 Malibu. After change battery, the power steering is gone, "power steering" appears on radio panel. I search the really. There is a recall for 2007 Malibu, but my car is not in the list when check the VIN.

Blinker is not automatically turning of and blinker arm is coming apart at the end of arm when driving and happens no matter what kind of terrain I am driving on.

Interment loss of power steering problem started about 2 weeks ago. My mother is selling me the car and we got it checked out. I looked into chevy recalls and it states a recall on 06-08 Malibu's for a torque sensor assembly and that I needed to call chevy. I contacted chevy on 05/29/2020 and spoke with a representative that stated I would have to pay for parts and labor to get the electrical power steering fixed. Decided to call my local chevy dealership and was pretty much told �well that recall expired in 2016� regardless of expiration date the part has gone out in my car and is continuing to do so. I agreed to get the diagnostics test ran at a chevy dealership but was basically told they would do nothing regardless of what code came about. Regardless of expiration year on a recall if something is faulty because of the manufacturer placed faulty parts and won't take responsibility now that it needs fixed.

I have a power steering issue presumably related to the torque sensor assembly I believe gm should be opting to remedy by way of a recall/repair at their cost they claim doesn't apply to my specific vehicle - 2007 Chevrolet Malibu. I contacted gm a year ago at 134,000 miles to inquire about this issue and was then informed I am "just outside" the range being covered. The issue went away shortly thereafter but has resurfaced. .
