Unknown.
The dash is displaying service power steering service tire monitor system service esc and traction control. All of which have been recalled on other 2008 chevy Malibus with different VIN numbers then mine. I feel my Malibu is unsafe and needs to be inspected and placed on the recall list as well. I am available to have the car inspected as soon as possible. The steering is popping and grinding when I turn. The steering wheel jerks when I drive over bumps and the car sways and swerves which makes it hard to control. This is a family vehicle my young child rides in the car daily and I worry about his safety due to the steering locking up like the other recalled Malibus. I am scared to drive it I feel like it is very unsafe. The vehicle has only been inspected by my certified mechanic. There were warning lights displayed on the dash as I stated above. They've been since I bought the car at the beginning of February.
If I drive real fast whenever it rain it'll say power steering service traction off my car would slid as I pull off from a complete stop . It's hard for my car to turn and it's triggering my check engine light . On the highway wheels and tires shake.
Air bar warning light and tire sensor warning lite both came on at the same time. Took vehicle to dealer and was advised that that the drivers side air bag was faulty.
