We have classified the 519 complaints from 2009 Chevrolet Malibu about STEERING into the following categories.
My vehicle is having exact symptoms as other vehicles in the same year range with the exact engine size and power train. i have a 4 - cyl eco tec engine and i have found that gm recalled lots of units for this exact problem yet mine is not in the database. my electroinc steering shuts on and off all winter!
My vehicle has lost steering after starting several times over the last week. my info screen displays an esc and power steering message and my steering wheel is locked in place. once the car is shut off and restarted the messages go away and steering is back to normal. i have found a recall related to this on certain vehicles of my year/make/model and also many forums of people having the same issues. however, when searching by vin it says my vehicle has 0 recalls. i have also noticed when my vehicle is stopped, or in park my steering wheel will shake for a moment and then stop.
The electric power steering suddenly stopped working, and i was in danger of crashing the vehicle. the chevy dealership says its a problem with the steering column torque sensor, and that gm had a million car recall on this issue. however, they stated this safety concern had an expiration date and for my vehicle, it expired may 2019. it appears to be having exactly the same symptoms, with the same dangerous consequences, as those recalled vehicles, and yet gm will not take responsibility for this safety matter. this condition occurred intermittently, and then all of the time. it occurs when in reverse, and forward gears, when turning and when traveling straight. it occurs at all speeds. again, the gm mechanics state the problem is the steering column torque sensor.
