- What is wrong
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured May 16, 2003, through October 11, 2012, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured June 25, 2003, through April 5, 2007, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured May 26, 2004, through January 4, 2010, and 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles manufactured April 24, 2006, through May 26, 2009. In the affected vehicles, increased resistance in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection may result in voltage fluctuations in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit. These fluctuations can cause one or more of these conditions: the brake lights to illuminate without the brake pedal being pushed; the brake lights to not illuminate when the pedal is pushed; difficulty disengaging the cruise control; moving the gear shifter out of the 'PARK' position without pushing the brake; and disablement of crash avoidance features such as traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features.
- Risk
- Any of the above failure conditions increases the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will attach the wiring harness to the BCM with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the BCM and harness connector and the BAS and harness connector, and will relearn the brake pedal home position, free of charge. The manufacturer distributed an Interim letter to customers on July 14, 2014. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1‑800‑222‑1020 (Chevrolet), 1‑800‑762‑2737 (Pontiac), 1‑800‑553‑6000 (Saturn). GM's number for this recall is 13036.

It is deplaying all the sign symbols will displaying on speedo meter display and also mainly, ( important: when I am giving more exhalations my steering hold and suddenly it is taking right side control and very hard to turn on up heal. Please any one help me out from this issue. Thank you
The car's steering wheel vibrates left to right when the car is turned on. When driving, "power steering" is displayed on the panel making turning very difficult.
The power steering sensor keeps going out on our car, disabaing the power steering, it's happened every year around the same time. There is an active recall and chevy has repaired it 3 times and is now refusing to fix it again, yet it's a recurring issue. Is there anything we can do? It's a $600+ fix, that's alot of money for something that keeps breaking.
The car will suddenly become very hard to steer. The radio lights up saying power steering. You must throw the car in neutral turn it off and start back up quickly. Very dangerous when you cant pull to the side to stop before tuning off and on tor reset the power steering. I have contacted gm was given a case number 8-4057942731 but it was activated and closed on the same day before car could even be looked at by dealer service. Gm claims there is no recall but I find a recall on 2007 malibu recall number 14772. Car was going down short back road had this problem 3 times withing 2 minutes.
The vehicle was in motion, city street, turning. The steering wheel wpuld turn the opposite way that I had to turn. The steering wheel would also lock in the opposite direction which almost caused me to crash into the wall. When I pulled off to the side tge steering wheel would shake and turn by itself. I just discovered that there is 9 recall notices from 06/27/2014 to 02/23/2015. The dealership has not owned up to these recalls. Due to multiple of these recalls my two children (ages [xxx] and [xxx]), my husband, and my life (pregnant) could have been lost due to an almost vehicle collision due to these recalls. 06/27/2014 recall for train:automatic transmission. 06/27/2014 recall for power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:floor shift. 08/18/2014 recall for service brakes, hydraulic:switches:brake light. 08/18/2014 recall electrical system:wiring. 08/18/2014 recall exterior lighting:brake lights. 08/18/2014 recall vehicle speed control:cruise control. 08/18/2014 recall electronic stability control. 09/08/2014 recal for steering. 02/23/2015 recal for steering:electric power assist system.

For the past 3-4 weeks I have been having issues with my electric power steering giving out. Sometimes when I'm driving it very hard to keep the steering straight, the wheel try's to send me into the other lane. I've been doing research I've found that there are many others with the same issue.
Had recall work done and seen this was in it. And wasn't fixed.
Power steering light keeps going on when you first start it and when car is restarted it goes off. Steering wheel vibrates back and forth while idling and power steering was going in and out while driving and is now completely out. This happened for about 3 days before power steering went completely out.
