Lose Power Steering problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu

Esc light came on, lost power steering while maneuvering on extremely icy curve on freeway. Fortunately was able muscle the car to side of the road without accident. Found hundreds of complainants on NHTSA web site for this exact same issue, but couldn't find where there was any recall for this issue per my cars VIN number. Extremely dangerous problem that manufacturer needs to address.

While driving to school going roughly from idle to 10mph as started to get on the highway the esc services power steering light came on and I lost all power steering. Needless to say me being 5'3" and 98 pounds didn't help me much to control the vehicle. I slowly pulled over to the side of the road and gathered myself not knowing what just happened. I turned off the car and gathered my thoughts. Luckily I was on straight away with no turns when this happened. So I preceeded to turn the car on and noticed the message was gone so I checked the steering and the problem light was gone. Well with that said, that was the first this had happened. And now it has progressed during the winter. I don't know if the cold has anything to do with it. But this is scary and gm should try to address it. I believe there was a recall for this issue but my VIN doesn't show that recall. Can you please help. The problem is starting to happen when I start my car now.

At random I will be driving down any road and the power steering, traction control, ecs lights will come on and I will lose power steering. I have to pull over and completely stop and turn off ignition and wait a few minutes and turn back on and the problem is reset. This happens at random with no pattern.

I bought a 2012 Malibu for my daughter who is 15 years old. Nice car, but when she was pulling into a parking lot, "service etc" illuminated on the dash and she completely lost power steering. Hit a curb.

My vehicle is starting to show a power steering warning. There is a recall for this number 15356, 08/28/2015, campaign - electronic power steering failure warranty info. I called gm and they said my VIN number is not included. I feel it is going to lose power steering assist at any time. This could result in a serious accident. This is obviously the same problem as the Malibus covered by the recall. They refuse to admit this problem is more widespread to 2012 Malibus that are not included at this time.

Left store and care was driving fine, lost power steering and esc light came on. Was able to pull over. Cut car off and turned back on and issue was fixed. As soon I as pulled in my garage, I lost power steering again. It's dangerous especially when you are driving down the road in traffic.

"takata recall" steering wheel moving on its on lost of power steering olin and out and traction warning on and off. Steering wheel pulsating and turning on its own while stationary.

Pulling out of a parking space, all of a sudden my steering wheel does a quick jerk, my traction light luminates and then service esc comes up on the display and then power steering shows on the display and at that point iost power steering assist and at this point I could not turn the wheel at all, I had no control over the car at this point. I put the car in park, turned it off for several minutes and then turned it back on and power steering was back. This is unexceptable. . . What if I had been on the free way going 70 miles per hour and lost power steering. This very issue was a recall on the recalling certain model year 2004-2006 and 2008-2009 Chevrolet Malibu(s) and obviously it is still an issue with the 2012 model. I have had no issues with steering prior to ths day it happened 10/30/16 and no warring power steering assist was going to fail. Fix it once and for all gm. Do your customers have to be seriously injured or worse in order for you to get this right!!!! now we have to find the power steering unit and get it fixed because my car is literally a death trap. Also, the interior lights (dome) and headlights start flickering after 10 mins to 60 mins into my drive like there is an electrical issue. Also, the rear defrost stopped working and I can't see out the rear window, I have to drive with the windows down to try and hurry the process along and that is not fun when it is freezing out side!.

Driving and car had severe electrical problem that caused the car to randomly stall while driving. We lost power steering and power brakes. The instrument panel starting going crazy displaying all lights, saying device esc and the doors locked and unlocked. The engine stalled and transmission started jolting around. The car would not turn back on after turning it off. Took the car to starling Chevrolet to get it fixed the following Monday since closed Sunday. Before taking to the dealer took the car to auto zone to check the battery. Autozone stating battery was great. Chevrolet didn't look at the car at all Monday, and Tuesday stated we need new battery. I advised of auto zone reading and was told autzone was wrong. Picked up the car Tuesday after having a brand new battery put in for $270. Today is the following Friday and the car did everything again while driving and will not start. Now I have to tow the car to chevy again.
