1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2024

I was driving and lost power randomly it came back in less than a minute but just lost power could certainly cause an accident. . . And the service airbag light is on and seemingly has the same issues as the 2010 Malibu maxx which was recalled and replaced free of charge and frankly I don't have the 1200 $ to make sure it doesn't kill me I'm not sure why with as many 2007s that this is an issue in why it isn't recalled. . .

4 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 06/13/2015

Saturday I was running errand and all of a sudden my engine check light came on, before I could get home the engine power reduced notice came on and my power was barely at a crawl until I made it home. The good thing is I was on surface streets. Had I been on the freeway this could have been catastrophic. I am extremely disappointed because I make certain my car has the necessary scheduled maintenance and I was just at maita Chevrolet in elk grove less than a month ago and they never once indicated a potential problem.

6 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2015

Owner of a 2007 chevy Malibu. Had to replace fuel pump out of own pocket yet recall has not been extended to my VIN#. Also, while driving at a high rate of speed my power steering cuts out and the steering wheel is physically turns itself and locks the wheel throwing me into adjacent lanes and erratically moving my car on the road. This has been a safety recall on other 2007 chevy Malibus with the identical part number that is also on my car but after contacting gm I have been told that this is normal wear and tear on a vehicle and that to their knowledge it is safe for me to operate my vehicle, even though I have already had to repair 2 other recalls out of my pocket, had 2 taken care of by gm, yet now have an additional 3 or more parts on my car that are under recall but not extended to my VIN# but already showing identical symptoms for failure for parts that have been recalled. I feel like my life is in danger driving a vehicle gm is telling me that is safe. Not to mention the depreciation of the vehicle due to these mechanical issues. I have had numerous other issues with this vehicle and gm does not care about my safety or my money. I feel robbed.
