    When accelerating to pass 4th to 2nd gear under high engine rpms the warning bell chimes 3 to 4 times and the electronic steering locks up. As soon as i release the accelerator and the vehicle upshifts i have full steering as if nothing ever happened. This has happened to me numerous times so as an experiment i tried turning the vehicle when the electronic steering locked and the vehicle would not move, it felt like i was going to break the steering wheel off the vehicle. I have 4 different invoices stating this problem to chase chevy service department. I also have 3 different invoices in which they tried to correct the problem and have failed. 1st invoice cause: pcm engine-reprogramming with sps 89 w. 2nd cause: dtc C0900 found intermittent failure at the voltage regulator for the electronic power steering. 3rd cause: C0900 added grounding strap to coil (pulling to much voltage) there bulletin matching my complaint is #2133820. How long is this going to go on before i crash my vehicle due to a steering failure. I have found multiple websites with people having these same type of problems with my model year and some of the previous years. I will yet again be taking my vehicle to the service department for them to do a cheap fix; if anything at all. Gm needs to step up and claim responsibility before their electronic power steering system starts clamming lives. My next step after the service department will be catching their electronic power steering system failing on video camera and demonstrate that the vehicle is out of control due to the fact that you cannot turn neither left nor right. I am sure some news organizations will be interested in this footage! How lives are in jeopardy and no one is bothering to do anything. This has happened since i have purchased my vehicle to present which is approx. 50,000 miles of driving. How long will my luck continue?

    2005 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx. Consumer writes in regards to the electric power steering recall notice. *smd the consumer stated he received an invoice stating the recall was completed. However, after leaving the dealer, he experienced a power steering failure. Upon returning to the dealer for an explanation of the power steering failure, the consumer was informed it was a separate problem not related to the repair that was just performed. According to the service ticket, the technician found and checked code C0900 and then checked the alternator. It then stated he found a related tsb that said when finding a code C0900 and B1325 as well as other contributing factors it may need to have a coil replaced and ground strap added. The technician did not state he found both codes.

    I had the recall of the sensor on the electric power steering accomplished in october. I have had the loss of ps three times since upon acceleration and the problem is worse now than before the recall. The dealer indicates the problem now is the voltage spikes per tsb 08-02-32-005. This tsb indicates a defective coil causes voltage spikes in the electrical system thereby damaging the electric ps motor/module. The codes C0900, B1325, and C0176 were set. I spoke with gm with no avail. There is a tsb 10183 which extends the warranty to 10 years and 100,000 miles. This is with a loss of signal from the steering column. My vin is not covered by this tsb. My contention is a loss of ps by any cause is a safety issue and gm should recall and fix it. The tsb admits the coil is defective as the tsb requires a replacement with a new enhanced coil and a ground strap added to the coil. This is a manufacture defect and should be corrected by gm. Any vehicle with this defective coil can have the electric ps damaged at any moment without knowing that the failure has occurred. Again, i believe this is a safety issue. What is the point of gm replacing the sensor because of a safety issue and will not correct other issues that cause the same safety issue. Why would one fault be more of an issue than another causing the same safety issue? I have ordered the new coil and related parts to correct the voltage spikes which could damage other parts. That still leaves the motor/module which the dealer indicates needs to be replaced.
