2006 Chevrolet Malibu lights problems

Filed Jun 28, 2021 · Lights, Steering · TN

The rack and pinion needs to be replaced at the speed of 65 the steering feels loose and I was told that the rack and pinion is out, so I am having to replace the entire thing, I dont have a receipt yet because it's going to the shop next week, it seems odd that a car with only 75k miles would need a new rack and pinion. Also the high mount brake light is out..which seems crazy on a car with low miles, I understand that the car is old but to me it's a new car, I only just purchased it in October 2020.

There is a situation happening with the headlight. The electrical system is so compromised that it melts and destroys the connections. I have replaced tons of bulbs and now the light connector is eroding because of excessive heat conductivity within the system.

2006 chevrolet malibu: power steering locks up! Locks up to the point it take two people to turn the wheel, this happens while driving! Headlights and brake lights go out and when bulb is replaced they burn instantly. T/c never turns off! Recent complaints from people in other states have been made there are also evident recalls but chevrolet fails to honor the recall and refuse to fix because the cars are 2006 and the uear now is 2018. This is not fair! What are we supposed to do? This is a saftey issue! It is morally unethical and illegal for chevrolet not to acknowledge and honor this recall regardless if the car we have is used. If the recall was made and was not fixed they must acknowledge that the repair was not made and fix the problem for the car owner! I am sure chevrolet has a database and is aware at what and how many vehicles have been repaired due to this recall. What are they waiting for a lawsuit? I demand that this recall be honored and this problem fixed asap. If I or my family are harmed due to this I will sue so help me god! I am sure there are many people out there who agree that what chevrolet is doing is wrong! The issue happened several time this year and happened again today!

The power steering goes out completely at random times while driving. I called chevrolet about the recall on it and was told that they closed the recall and are no longer fixing the issue. The brake lights also stop working randomly. The rear blinkers have stopped working completely.

Brake lights stay on

Brake lights illuminate when brake pedal is applied. Will go off when foot is taken off of pedal, but will go back on and stay on when pedal is not applied. This happens both when in neutral and in park and the car is stationary. I believe the problem is where increased resistance in the body control module (bcm) connection system can result in voltage fluctuations or intermittency in the brake apply sensor (bas) circuit that can cause brake lamp malfunction. The brake lamps illuminate without the brake pedal applied. Recall on this problem dated march 2017, # 13036. This recall problem and number does not show up in the federal safety agency database.
