I had just left the gas station and was going to take off when the car started sputtering and I noticed there was a tick in the steering wheel.

I lost my power steering and ability to control the vehicle while driving in motion.It has happened when attempting to make a turn or when the highway comes to a bend.The steering wheel will make noise while at a stop sign..The problem started a month ago but has become more frequent in the past week.When I pull over and restart the vehicle, power steering can be restored but sometimes only for a short period of time and then it goes out again.This happened many times in one day.I have read that vehicles, the same make and model, have been recalled, but I haven't received any notices to fix the issue.
When I was driving down the road, the cluster panel showed warning lights for the steering, service esc, and mil light, but the car wouldn't respond, no matter what I did.My family and I were in danger when we were driving on the idl in Oklahoma at rush hour.This is a very serious issue that will end up killing someone.The car is very unstable and hard to drive, you lose your power steering and acceleration.When it happens to other vehicles as well, the car has 142,000 miles on it.
There is a recall of Takata.The problem persists even though the recall has been closed.The problem was fixed by Gm.After the recall date, the vehicle was taken in and closed.The problem is not fixed.I will have to pay for the repairs if they are not covered by the recall.The bcm was never replaced.I lost my steering power.There was a warning for power steering and service esc.After stopping, shutting off the engine, starting the car, the problem went away for 2 minutes.I had my daughter with me.Scary.
There was snow and ice on the highway when the esc light came on and I lost my power steering.I almost got into an accident when I pulled to the side of the road.

I lost my power steering after I flashed the power sterring on my 2010 Malibu and it has not regained even after a couple weeks of restarts.Steering is important when driving.Any information about the steering of the Malibu.
Steering power was lost while driving.The car was very hard to maneuver.Power steering came back after the engine was turned off.Power steering stops at various speeds without warning.Approx 98,800 miles.
I lost my power steering while driving.It was very difficult to move over to the shoulder when the steering light came on.It is difficult to turn the steering wheel without power steering.I'm happy I was driving and not my wife.This happened many times.It would happen more often after shutting off the car.I thought the steering issues were just the tires.When the wheel would shake in the park, I did some research and found out that this is a major recall in many general motors cars which include every model year of the Malibu.There is a special coverage warranty on the 2010 model.Gm admits there is a major defect with the power steering recall on these cars, but for some reason didn't recall the 2010 model.The special coverage bulletin was the only one they did.You are out of luck if you are over 150,000 miles.You put your life on the line.They are admitting that it has faulty parts in the cars since they put special coverage on it.Unexceptable.The problem parts need to be taken off the cars.
I lost the power steering on my vehicle as I was turning.I almost hit a semi-truck.The electric power steering assist is malfunctioning.
A potential steering problem with my car may occur suddenly without prior warning after I received a letter from general motors.According to the letter, the car may lose power steering assist and be hard to steer.The letter has an extended warranty.I have checked for recalls.The problems described in the letter are the same as those identified in a recall.My question is why this car isn't being recalled to fix the problem?I may want to contact my Chevrolet dealer if I believe I have a problem, according to the letter.I can see a potential for an accident that could result in property damage, bodily injury or death if I incur this problem.I don't want to wait.I can provide a scanned image.I don't see a way to download the letter file from this form.
I lost power steering capabilities when I drove or started my vehicle.On one of these occasions, I was traveling during an ice storm, luckily I went straight and didn't need to make any turns, the traffic was light, and I made it home safely.Steering is almost impossible when it goes out.The power steering motor is in the shop with a diagnosis.Several recalls have been issued for this type of problem with other Malibus, but not my 2010 model.The cost to fix this is a lot.I am hopeful that my warranty will cover this as there is no recall to do so.This seems to be a problem throughout the Malibu line regardless of the year, so I believe that GM should be responsible.
I lost power steering on the highway.The power steering doesn't work with short trips around town.This is a big safety concern for my wife.She isn't strong enough to turn the wheel at slow speeds.I don't want to pay accident surcharges on top of the repair bill.Many models that have the electronic power steering box are affected by this issue.The steering wheel position sensor and electronic stability control are related to the electric power steering box.At this time, the steering wheel position sensor cannot be replaced.The steering column needs to be replaced.When a cheaper repair is an option, this is a very costly expense.There is no recourse for us consumers because the car owner had to replace the steering column three times.After 20,000 miles, warrantees expired.I have only owned American made cars since I was 50 years old.I will be going to the Ford product if this issue is not resolved in a professional way.I will not return to GM if they do not stand behind their products, so I hope I won't be forced to use foreign cars.I think I can remain a happy consumer.The Mini cooper had an issue with power steering failure.They offered a 13 year or 200,000 mile warranty on the power steering module..Read more...
