general problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu - part 2

Lost power steering and increasing the risk of a crash. There is a recall on several Malibu just not the 2010 ltz. I am wondering why this vehicle does not a recall when the 2004 to 2006 on the electric power steering has a recall???.

The esc and engine light came on and then the stability track light came on for a matter of a min and then all the lights just went off. I seen there are recalls on these issues but not for my VIN number.

Lost electric power steering (eps) assist while driving during a turn. The dashboard information display acknowledged a failure in the power steering. The dealer found code c0545 which relates to power steering torque sensor assembly. Gm issued a safety recall in October, 2014, bulletin #16146b, for the Malibu 2009 model but not the 2010 model. The bulletin directs the dealer to replace p/s torque sensor module. The dealer replaced the torque sensor module and the p/s assist motor (remanufactured) at the customer cost of $989. 63.

Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Power steering loss 3 times within last 2 months. Esc steering error. Probably an unprotected voltage surge of power steering torque sensor. The first time this happened I almost hit the wall.

Had test drove the vehicle everything was fine, picked the vehicle up and drove it home everything was fine, parked in the back of my house the car sat over night I go to pull it out the drive way, the power steering has gotten stuck and I mean it was stuck!, the “power steering” light came on the dash so I tried my best to turn to just pull it back in the driveway. It was so hard to turn I thought I would brake the steering wheel. Another thing whenever I ride over a bump my radio changes stations or turns off.

When making a turn at any speed, the power steering goes out and the dash says "power steering - esc service". Turning off the car and waiting a minute temporarily fixed the issue.

Upon starting the vehicle, a "power steering" warning displays on the dash and the power steering does not work. After restarting the car, the power steering resumed operating properly. The next day, the same issue occurred upon starting, and was again remedied by restarting the car.

The power steering on our vehicle began randomly going out while driving and we would have to stop and turn the vehicle off/on for the power steering to return. Eventually the power steering went off and wouldn't come back on.

When driving the car at 40 mph all power steering would be lost, resulting in the "service esc" light to come on the dashboard. The only way to regain power steering would be to shut the car off completely and then turn it back on. I recently had the vehicle serviced and the problem was found to be the steering torque sensor. The fix cost me $500.

While in motion I turn and my steering wheel locks up and on the screen power steering and esc traction control off pops up it's locking up more frequently now and this is very dangerous. Then a couple days later my engine light pops on I figured it was because of the power steering esc traction control problem but after serval days later I'm at work and the car want start . I try a couple times and gives it some gas then it started so I was on my way then maybe 15 minutes down the road the steering wheels locks up again and the same message pops up on the screen this is really weird and again dangerous.

Steering gets hard to maneuver while driving all lights come on on the dashboard and have to stop and reset vehicle, headlights work when they want to. I was driving on a highway when my steering got hard to use. I had to get on the shoulder and reset the battery, in order to get home safely.

Driving down the road about a 2 hour trip and all of a sudden the power steering went out and at first I could turn the car off then back on and it worked but only a few minute and the same night it went completely out and now it doesn't work at all. It's very hard to turn and it says service esc, also traction and did say power steering, it also says that esc is off.

I was driving down a city street when all of a sudden I lost the ability to steer my escl came on. My wheels locked up. I just bought the car in August and have had nothing but problems with it and I'm now concerned as well about airbag safety I'm scared about how risky and dangerous this car really is Malibu is most recalled vehicles had I known ahead I would never have purchased this deadly weapon. I'm 22 a single mom who is responsible and now have a vehicle issue and a potential deadly one at that . Please do something it's not an error on my end I know that for fact. And of course there's no driving it at all. So please take time to take this matter serious god bless.

Upon start up the electronic steering control module warning light come on and unable to drive the car or move the steering wheel. The warning light will go off by turning the switch off and restart the car. I am concern this will eventually happen while driving causing an accident. This happens intermittently and not a daily occurrence.

My esc light comes on while driving and power steering locks up. So have to pull over and turn car off and back on and it goes away for a little bit then will come back on.

After turning, powersteering cut off. The warning message "power steering- service esc" appeared. I turned the car off, turned it back on, and power steering was re engaged.

Was driving at about 30 mph when power steering gave out and I could hardly steer the vehicle.

The steering wheel locked preventing me from having control of the steering which resulted into me hitting the back of another vehicle causing a rollover accident on a city street and my car is totally damaged.

The power steering sensor stop's steering during driving and traction loss. This car is very dangerous and costly to repair. I pray nobody dies from this. I see many complaints about this from other owners.

While driving on the interstate, in a curve, the power steering quit working, the wheels turned straight and I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting the barrier wall. After turning the car off and restarting it, the power steering began working again. The power steering now quits working after a mile of driving, only to start working again after a restart of the engine. This has been happening for around 20,000 miles.

I started my car after sitting on the driveway service esc light came on and had no power steering, this is the 2nd time in in 2 days. I was able to reset my car with my snapon modis scanner. This happened with no paower steering the previous day for my son.

The power steering locks up and I loose power steering while driving making it very dangerous to drive. This keeps on happening and it says I do not have a recall but this is happening to my vehicle every day and I do not have more than one vehicle to drive.

Power steering will randomly go out. I have to turn my vehicle off and turn it back on and then it works perfectly normal. When this happens I am moving and in the process of turning. It has happened once in January and once in March now. In January I took it to run a diagnostics on it right after and nothing came up.

When I started the car the steering wheel twitches on its own and when I'm driving the steering wheel gets stiff and it says serivce esc/powersteering.

Power steering and yes it is. Not safe to drive because of the steering. The dealership has changed the part under the recall as well as the warranty yes by several people no warning lights or anything came on to show that there was a issue.

Drove to the store and when I started my car to leave my steering wheel was locked up and on my dash read power steering, service esc, service air bag and traction light was on.

Service esc light comes on and then you loose your steering.
