Service eas warning light comes on. then the rear brake lights stay on. the service power steering warning light comes on & the car is very hard to control & nearly impossible to steer. this is extremely dangerous & unsafe.

While driving the vehicle, (vehicle in motion), i suddenly lose power steering and the ability to control the vehicle safely. in some instances it has happened while attempting to make a turn or while on the highway as the highway comes to a bend. while at a stop sign/light, the steering wheel will begin to rattle or shake and makes noise.. this problem started approximately one month ago but has become more frequent this past week. at times if i pull over and turn the vehicle off for a short time then restart it, power steering is restored but sometimes only for a short period of time and then it goes out again. this has happened several times in one day. i have read that vehicles, same make and model, have been recalled for this 'safety' issue but i have not received any notices regarding getting this issue fixed.

For about 3 days i have been starting my car and receiving a message saying power steering esc we checked the fluids and their was power steering fluid in the car so i started it again and got the same message. i would have to start it at least 4 or 5 times for my car to reset and so i can drive it. i've never had this problem before yesterday while driving i lost control of my power steering on a main highway and my car cut completely off . i could of been dies and this is very dangerous i contacted the gm dealership and they spoke to me as if it wasn't a big deal which i feel this is a very deal considering my daughter could have been i. the car with me. i see all the recalls for the same thing happening but they pulled up mine and said their is no recall for my car . it makes no since and i need answers

Driving and power steering icon and alert comes on with total loss of power steering. as with others complaints this is very scary when driving and hard to steer. this is a risk and hazard to those driving and their passengers. there needs to be something done or lawsuits will be filed as this is a repetitive issue in these vehicles. recall!!! this is ridiculous chevy.

Whenever the car starts, the service esc lights come on and stay on. steering wheel is very hard to turn and won't turn unless the car is in motion thus causing me to wrestle with the steering wheel to make a right or left turn. every mechanic i've seen told me to trade it in because the repairs are quite expensive. they mentioned something about replacing the entire steering column. they also couldn't service the power steering because it's strictly electronic. this is not safe for me or my family because who knows when it will lock up for good while i'm driving. this has been going on for the past month. please help me

Upon driving the car the esc light and power steering light will come on and care will have no power steering.steering wheel also moves on it's on and makes sounds inside the column. very dangerous for my wife to have to drive and drop off the kids at school.nothing but problems out of the car since we purchased it 3 years ago.

Loss of power steering. this is a known problem affecting 2004 to 2010 chevy malibus. a recall has been issued for this vehicle up to 2008 model and yet my 2010 has the same problem. this is a very expensive repair and i would like to know why the 2009 and 2010 models were not included in this recall

My power steering has just stopped working. i can barely turn my car, i have a baby and my other children in the car with me and this is dangerous. i really need this fixed. i was traveling on the highway to my brothers house when it just stopped turning correctly.

Was driving on a city street approaching an s bend going down hill with a steep embankment when the power steering failed. power steering esc lights went activated. i almost went over the embankment before being able to forcefully turn the wheel and continued to the bottom of the hill and off to the side of the road. i was close to home so i was able to drive the car home. i called for a tow truck driver. when he arrived the power steering was fine no power steering messages. he was aware of previous recalls but this vehicle has no active recall even though it is the exact problem covered by same year make and model.
