Power Steering Failed problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu

After recall service for power steering failure it's doing the same thing. Power steering fails while driving . I have to shut the car off and restart to reset the issue.

Power steering has begun to fail. Mileage at 106,000. Generally happens at low speeds. All control is lost making it difficult/impossible to steer vehicle. Major safety issue. Issue is resolved with a restart, however sometimes it does come back almost immediately.

Power steering failure at 80k miles. Many,many posts on Malibus with similar module failure, this should not happen and almost caused me to hit a pole. Can you assist in getting me service under recall, that although may not apply to 2010 is quite obviously the same issue they had under recall? thank you stanley smith.

The steering wheel twitches even when the vehicle is not moving. A power steering error message comes across the display randomly on certain instances of starting the vehicle. When the message displays, the power steering fails altogether. Turning the car off and starting it again re-establishes the power steering, however the twitching of the steering wheel continues. Malibus of similar years have been recalled for the same problem.

While driving 50mph on a state highway, power steering failed. Service esc and power steering alerts displayed 2/19/19. Dealer identified steering wheel torque sensor and steering wheel position sensor out of calibration. Technician re-calibrated sensors. Approximately 2 hours after picking up the vehicle 2/20/19 the power steering failed again. This is a serious safety issue that has the potential of serious bodily harm.

While driving, the power steering failed and it was extremely difficult to turn the wheel at approxmatly 50 mph. Contacted gm about this issue, since similar models of the same year, with different VIN numbers, have been recalled for this same exact issue and they refused to consider repairing the vehicle, just because my VIN number was not included in the recall, but the same faulty parts are in the car.

While driving esc light came on power steering issue displayed and power steering failed. Stopped and turned car off; upon restart no issue.

Power steering goes in and out. Etc light comes on and flashes power steering failure. Upon reading, gm issued a recall for this but our dealer has no recall information on this. Safety issue, could lead to a crash.

My 2010 chevy Malibu is losing power steering during normal driving conditions, the service ecm is displaying and then the power steering failure is on the dash. I can get the power steering to turn back on once I turn the engine off and back on again but it continues to shut off.

I was driving in my neighborhood, when suddenly, my power steering failed. I had to use a great deal more effort to steer the car to avoid parked cars, as well oncoming traffic. I had a couple near misses, but made it to my driveway. Since, I have had the same power steering fail 4 times while driving in neighborhood and on the highway each timehighway. Fortunately, I avoided contact with other cars while moving, but only due to my experienced driving. If my kids were driving this car, they would have had an accident! now, I learned gm had an effective recall for my model, but for earlier years up through 2009. Hence, they have closed said recall and left me with nary an option. I am turning to you to see if a renewed recall can be reopened!.

The power steering fails intermittently. This morning it almost caused me to wreck while getting off the interstate. I went to turn on the off-ramp and my power steering failed, followed by several messages on my information display. (power steering, esc) once I turn the car off and back on again, my power steering returns. Since then it continues to shut down on me while driving. After looking into the issue online, I notice a large recall on 2010 Malibu's for this exact reason, but somehow mine is not covered. How is this possible when it is the exact same issue? this is becoming a major safety concern.

As I was driving down the road, the dashboard chimed and the power steering failed. This has happed two times within this week. The first incident was during an attempt to maneuver a curve and the second incident occurred while driving on a straightaway.

Power steering failed for the second time on September 10, 2017. I had to replace the steering column in November 2016 for the same condition. There is a recall for chevy Malibus up until the 2009 model year and clearly there is a weakness in the 2010. This failure was while I was parked in a tight spot and couldn't get out. I restarted the car until it recalibrated, but it will undoubtedly go again. Repeat of previous problem. Also had to replace the transmission after complete failure at 48,000 miles in January 2017. That was a mere $4600. It failed while in motion, but fortunately I was uphill from my home and I was able to roll it to the curb.

The vehicle's electric power steer failed with no warning while my daughter was driving along a normal suburban road. This created a dangerously unsafe driving condition as she could barely turn the steering wheel. Fortunately there was no tragedy that resulted, but the car is not safe to drive and we towed it to our home then to a gm store. This is a safety issue that should be recalled as it is well known problem within gm and public forums across. I was informed that gm has created a special policy #15356 to address this issue when I was at the gm store, extending the warranty, they said it was only to 150k miles & our vehicle has 159k miles so we weren't covered. I asked if there was any maintenance that we could have done to prevent this, there wasn't any procedure. Further research has shown that there is no set mileage that this can occur due to the fact that is a faulty design & not normal wear and tear ! this really needs to be a recall due to the safety ramifications when the failure occurs and the steering becomes very difficult to operate creating a dangerous situation and is sure to the cause of accidents/ injury/etc.

While driving on a city street the power steering suddenly failed without warning making the vehicle extremely difficult to handle. The esc warning light illuminated.

On 17 January 2015 I was driving home down a somewhat winding road and all of a sudden the power steering on my vehicle failed coming into a turn almost causing me to go into a ditch. The failure was sudden and I had to apply my brakes to avoid driving off the road. I have read around on forums and though many of the recalls for other models and same models of different years that have a similar steering setup. I believe it is the Malibus of the model year 04, 05, 06, 08, and 09 that are covered by the recall whereas my vehicle is a 2010 which is not covered.

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. This is a highly dangerous situation and I can see that the 2010 Malibu has had enough issues to get gm to add this car to the recall from 2008 and 2009 Malibu's.

In order to avoid being struck by oncoming traffic, the vehicle had to be backed up down the street still unable to turn, and struck a light pole. No damage to vehicle other than rear fender popped out of place. Upon restarting the vehicle all functions were normal and warning light was off. Car was taken to dealer where it was test driven and scanned for codes- no problems found. This is a recall issue in the 2008-2009 Malibu, but 2010 models are not included even though they use the same parts. (gm's recall #14v15300).
