    2013 Malibu says service steering and the brakes are on and gauges bouncing. Replaced the red cable and fuse assembly. Worked for few days and came back. Would the negative cable cause this? It has a sensor on it. Battery is new and says 14 or more volts when driving. When this happens, we have to pull the anti-lock brakes pump fuse otherwise the brakes are on all the time.

      @backyardchevy328  4 роки тому

      Probably an issue with the shift interlock cable, which will keep the key from coming out because the car doesnt think its fully in park ..u can call dealer and see if theres a recall on it...if not it may need to be adjusted or replaced..try going back and forth on the shifter from drive to park see if itll come out after a few tries

    My 2013 Malibu LT shut off on me and it said service power steering with no check engine light on.. It has no crank and prior to that my steering was fine.. But when I put the car on neutral so i can push it then the steering was hard.. I'll add my alternator is fine and I bought a battery sometime last year but maybe it can be the battery?

      The headlight wouldn't affect the power steering...those malibu's do have a problem with the electric power steering that they may have to replace the steering column..u may be able to contact a dealer and with ur vin number they may have a recall or warranty on it.

    My 2014 Malibu is saying check power steering drive with caution and when I move the gear it seem like its skipping gears and jerking every time I move the gear,also it's not showing what gear it's in on the dash or next to the gear. I haven't driven it since it happened. I just put a new battery in it a few months ago. I really hate to spend probably near a thousand dollars to get fixed at a dealership plus get it towed there too.

    • @backyardchevy328
      @backyardchevy328  4 роки тому +2

      I know for the gear selector there is a recall..just not sure if it applies to that year too but it wont hurt to call about it...its recall 12162...as far as the power steering... on certain malibus they may need to reprogram the power steering control module and they do that for free within 10 years of original purchase or 150k miles

      I have 191,000 miles on my 2014 and other than maintenance I have replaced 2 solenoids and it looks like I'm going to have to replace the battery (lol). I have had trouble with idiot lights staying on when there's nothing wrong with the car, so if you get a used one I wouldn't let that scare you off. I would buy another in a heartbeat, on my budget. If I had a bigger budget I'd get an impala. I drove the wheels off an impala from 2000 to 2018 (RIP Happy Green Impala, we loved you well.)

    I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu 2.5 l
    It started on random day driving. My car jerked and I got a notification saying “service power steering system”. Checked the codes only code was lost communication with TCM. Checked wires and connectors and found no issues. It makes it impossible to drive, it pops up that message randomly. It happened once I totally forgot about it because it ran fine after letting it sit. It got worse doing it more frequently.. To the point I needed to get towed several times. Also when the message pops up the locks go crazy.. they lock & unlock several times, if I press the gas it jerks me.
    Already reprogrammed the power steering system.
