1 Assist problem of the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu

Failure Date: 06/28/2023

I was on a freeway going 75. A guy came across three lanes and cut in front of me going 60. I got the brakes hard and then went around him accelerating sharply and swerved hard in front of him. At that point the car steered itself back and forth for our five times. I was finally able to regain control once it slowed down enough, and continued on my drive. I’m guessing that some accident-avoidance system kicked in when I swerved left in front of the other car, and the car swerved itself back to the right. But then it over-corrected back to the left. And back and forth several times all while the car slowed back down from 75 to perhaps 60, when it gave me back control. Very scary!!! the car shouldn’t do this!.

3 Assist problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu

Failure Date: 08/11/2021

The steering wheel is jerking when in the position to turn, and waiting at a light. The stop engine feature seems to make the jerk motion and also sends an alert message which is a quick flash stating "steering assist is reduced- drive with care". According to a service bulletin provided by gm bulletin #19-na-182 August 2019. This is a problem that needs to be corrected, for the safety of my family and others in the vehicle and on the road. Technicians must replace or reprogram the power steering control module with the latest and most up to date one. I am aware there in no specific recalls but this issue is new and I do not feel safe and I would like it corrected.

4 Assist problem of the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu

Failure Date: 04/16/2021

After getting my 2017 chevy Malibu minor service a few weeks later as I was driving and came to a stop light when the light turned green as I lift my foot off the brake I noticed the steering wheel did a jet and the a message appeared on the instrument panel that said something like "steering assist reduced use caution while driving. That was the first time now I've seen the message multiple times and it always happens after I've come to a complete stop and then release my foot from the brake pedal to start back driving.
