2007 Chevrolet Malibu Classic

MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. CHEVY DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AND I NEED A NEW PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE. THEY SAID THIS IS UP TO ME TO FIND. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A NEW ONE AND CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE. I ALSO CALLED GM AND THEY GAVE ME SOME WEBSITES TO TRY, WHICH WAS TO NO AVAIL. MY CAR ONLY HAS 37,000 MILES ON IT AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT. MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS GOING TO BE DRIVING IT IF WE CAN FIX IT. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT, AND VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHEVROLET AND GM. WE OWN 2 CHEVROLET'S

I WAS JUST DRIVING ALONG IN MY TOWN KILLEEN. I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STREET. I WAS AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY TWO DAYS LATER COMING FROM TEMPLE TEXAS AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AGAIN. I READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE FOR STEERING PROBLEMS. AFTER ENTERING MY VIN WITH GENERAL MOTORS, I LEARNED IT WAS NOT SO. I ONLY HAVE 48000 MILES ON MY CAR. I CANNOT PAY FOR STEERING REPAIRS PLEASE ADVISE. [XXX]. I INHERITED THIS VEHICLE FROM MY AUNT: [XXX] UPON HER DEATH IN 2017. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

I PURCHASED A 2007 MALIBU FROM JD BYRYDER IN MAY 2017, JAN.04, WHILE DRIVING THE WHEEL LOCKED AND THEN REDUCED TO MANUAL STEERING, I COULD NOT TURN BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO TURN WHEEL. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND A RECALL ON POWER ASSIST FAILURE FOR THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE GONE TO GM DEALER WHO PROMISED TO FIX AND 30 MINUTES INTO REPAIR I WAS TOLD WARRANT EXPIRED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE POWER ASSIST ISSUE OUT OF POCKET.

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY MALIBU THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THE POWER STEERING WILL QUIT WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WITHOUT WARNING. THE IGNITION HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND TURNED ON FOR IT TO START WORKING. THE SYMPTOMS IT HAS ARE ALL CONSISTENT WITH THE GM RECALL FOR OTHER 2006 AND 2007 MALIBUS, BUT CURRENTLY THE VIN NUMBER OF MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A SAFETY RISK TO THE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS OPERATING IN THE GENERAL AREA OF THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU CLASSIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN STARTED MAKING A CLICKING SOUND. EVENTUALLY, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT, A MECHANIC, DISCOVERED THAT THE UP AND DOWN GEAR BOX THAT ALLOWED THE STEERING COLUMN TO ADJUST UP AND DOWN, FRACTURED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

SO WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IT WONT START AND THE ANTI THEFT SIGN ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS BLINKING. SO I CANT START THE CAR AND TRIED LOCKING MY CAR AND UNLOCKING AND STARTING AGAIN STILL NOTHING. I CHECKED THE BATTERY AND THE BATTERY IS FINE AND KEPT ON TRYING TO STARTED IT I CAN SEE THE SIGN THAT SAYS THE CAR IS LOCKED. FOR NO REASON THIS HAPPENED, I CAME HOME THAT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING IT DIDN'T START. SO IT MOST LIKELY IS THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER PROBLEM FROM MY ADVISE FROM MY MECHANIC. I READ ONLINE THAT IT CAN TURN OFF THE CAR AND HAVE TO WAIT AN HOUR THEN START IT BACK UP AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE IF THIS SECURITY ANTI THEFT SYSTEM FAILS OUT OF NO WHERE. ALSO I CHECKED MY KEY FOR DAMAGE AND STILL DOESN'T WORK. BUT THIS WILL MOST LIKELY COST ME $300-500 FOR A SIMPLE ISSUE. *TR
