- 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.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Takata recall. Something happened to my steering. The warning light is on, it gets so tight you cannot steer it. It also says to service the airbag. I'm so scared to try to drive it. If you shut the car off and restart it the steering wheel feels loose again, but like you do not have complete control. Then it's tight all over again. This was driving down the highway.
My power steering went out on the vehicle without warning which caused me to hit another vehicle without warning . I only had the car for 1year
Upon accelerating, the vehicles steering wheel locks up and all electrical begins to flicker and shut off. The steering wheel will jerk from drivers hands and seize up unless acceleration stops. Infrequent electrical burning smell and day time running lights no longer work even after bulb replacement.
Car in to gm dealer unless you believe that your vehicle has the condition (gm extending the warranty coverage on my vehicle for the loss of power steering caused by electrical input signals within the steering column assembly. If this condition occurs on your 2005 pontiac g6 within 150,000 miles the condition will be repaired for you at no charge. I contacted marty malone & mike sutton @columbiana buick,cadillac,chevrolet on 7-20-17 @ around 3:00 pm .showed them the letter with the recall #10183 and told them that this problem has just occurred this year 2017 and my mileage is 141,000 now. Want to get this taken care of as soon as possible for this is unsatisfactory and dangerous to drive. Don't want this to happen again & to correct power steering motor controller unit with no charge. Already had torque sensor assembly action recalled and fixed on 12-16-2014 80,987miles which did not correct the problem. Dealer had said case was closed but I 'm still under recall repairs with less then 150,0000 miles. How could this be a closed matter when it is powered by the federal safety agency recall envelope with special coverage #10183 in it. They said for me to call customer service. So I did with case service request# 8-3102459106 . Spooked to raeole @ 4:45pm. He said that you can not open it again if already closed. This why I am coming to you in regards to this matter and to please get it fixed with no charge.car was in motion on street. Hard to turn. Had to turn car off to regain power.wheel shaking & power steering light on.
While driving on the highway, the vehicles electrical power steering failed resulting in a nearly eminent collision with adjacent traffic. My family was within the vehicle at the time and I felt genuine terror in regard to their safety. I was barely able to avoid the collision as the steering began to lock and tighten up, however through sheer power and luck I manage to avoid the vehicles in the lanes adjacent to me. Gm has had specific notification of this issue through numerous complaints by customers and has apparently taken the approach that they would rather risk the safety of their customers than do the right thing and create a recall in regard to power steering to make their vehicles safe for consumers. I have contacted gm to no avail as they treat recalls on a VIN specific basis to avoid public liability and have chosen to attempt to make me pay out of pocket for their negligence and wonton disregard for the safety of their customers.
Power steering motor and the electronical control stabilizer the steering wheel is hard to turn because it malfunction and I know you'll have a recall for that I took it to a mechanic and he said that's what it is he hooked the computer up to it he even told me that there is a recall I should contact gmc.
